And for, the first time there will be an organized third party in the House a partynumerically small, it is true but one that is ex pected nevertheless tO'play a conspi cuous part in the proceedings. By reason of the change resulting from the election last November, many new faces will be seen at both endsof the Capitol. Of the 291. Democrats in the House. 103 will be new members, untried and initiated into the ways of Congress. There will be 144 Republi cans and Progressives, and of . these fifty-will bfe fre-Jimen.

The city of New Bern expects to raise two prizes to give the township foremen who make the best record and ..the most -improvement in their section during each year. Mr. ; Snowden stated that in the sixth township he found the best soil for building good roads that he had yet encountered- There is ; considerable natural sand clay in that section and this is ideal for road building purposes However, he found the same problem there as in other ': sections improper drainage of ; the " reads. Unless i the sandv stretches of the roads are elimi nated-and all clay, black and "pocos sin" 'soils is drained, good roads can not be: constructed, and maintained This fs just Wha( will be done and with in a short time the roads there will be in excellent condition. t At present the Craven county con victs are engaged in balding the road leading1 from Bridgeton to the Farm Life School atsVancetaro. , After com pleting this they wilU begin work on the Beaufort , road, leading . front New Bern, yia James City," to the Carteret county line.

The . last . meeting of the Craven County Teachers' Association for the present term was held in this city yes terday at Griffin auditorium' and was largely attended, about forty of the teachers in the schools of the' county being present. These meetings are held each mont&x during the school term and Ijave proved very beneficial in many ways and are almost always attended, by as many of the teachers as can possibly reach the city on the day which they are held. Yesterday's meeting, in addition to being one at which the work of the past erm is reviewed . and discussed, was doub:y beneficial on account of the fact that several jnen who hre well known in educational circles in this State were present and addressed the gathering. One of the most interesting ta ks was made by Dr. J. E. Turlington the. principal of Craven county's proposed Garm Life School which is to be located near Vanceboro. Dr. Turlington is thoroughly acquainted with the sub ject of agricultural schools having recently resigned from the faculty of the Georgii Agricultural and Mechani cal College at Athens Ga. and his talk was interesting and instructive to every one of his hearers. Interesting talks were also made by Prof. Wa ter M. Thompson of Ons ow county Prof. W. G. Gaston of the Dover High Schoo Miss Reba Morton of the Cove City High School and Mrs. Charles L.
