" la the city of New Berne, during the month of April, there was no death at all among the whites. Among the col ored there were seven. A child of Mr. Scales living near the railroad depot broke its thigh on Sun day. A physician was called in to set it and the .child is doing well. The board of city council will be in session tonight to wind up the business of the past year and declare the result of the election held yesterday. The funeral of Mr. William Whitford will take place this (Tuesday) afternoon at 4 o'clock, from the residence of bis father, Col. J. D. Whitford, on Craven street. The election was very quiet in the first, second and third wards yesterday x there being no organized opposition to the Democratic nominees. In the fifth the appearance of an unexpected rival to the Republican nominee created some interest. In the fourth, Virgil Craw ford had a walk over. The colored County Teachers' Aaso elation held an interesting meeting last Saturday, as we are informed by the President, Rev. A. Bass, at the colored Graded School building in this city Many teachers were present and took part in the discussions. They adjourned to meet Saturday, the 15th' inst. at 12 o'clock. ' ' "Republican" in a communication which we publish today, wants to know irhy the People's Advocate don't fight Democratic doctrine instead of fighting the leaders of the Republican party in this county. The truth is, the colored i people find a Democratic administration -.j. so totally different from what the white Republicans always told them that the People's Advacate,' edited by oolored ' men, - dont know . how to ; . taker ; 1 What ' they " say, nor V ' does it know what estimate to put anon their sincerity as Republicans J when there is no government pap as an inducement.'

We copy today an article from the Manufacturer'' a Record on "Cotton Mills in the South," in which the writer pays a compliment to our North Caro lina Holts. The compliment is a well deserved one. We have often thought that if North Carolina wanted a Govern or with good practical hard sense, one with the capacity to advance her manu facturing as well as agricultural inter est, Col.T. M. Holt is the man. Advertise New Berne. Col. Pardee in his talk at the Cotton Exchange yesterday evening dwelt upon the importance of advertising this section which he said could be done to a great extent by stamping New Berne, N. C, on every package of truck that went from here. We noticed on the Old Dominion wharf a large number of packages but don't think "New Berne" could be found thereon. Tbe City Election Yesterday. The election yesterday in the several wards of the city was quietly conducted and much of the jug handle order except, in the 5th, where it is said that the old slogan of "Stimson and Hahn" entered into the canvass and imparted a life that was exhibited in none of the others. The vote was as follows: First Ward R. P. Williams 76, J. C. Green 2. Second Ward-F. W. Hancock 63, W. B. Boyd 5. Third Ward J. W. Moore 71, Geo. Bishop 8. Fourth Ward V. A. Crawford 85, John Thomas 1. Fifth Ward Nathan Styron 178, Major Oden 183. General J. Johnston Pettigrew. From the Charleston News and Courier we clip the following notice of the pamphlet prepared by the Ladies' Memorial Association of this city. The Association has a number of these pam phlets on hand, and we advise our friends who attend the Memorial ser vices next Monday to procure a copy : Hammond, the Broad street book seller, has for sale an interesting sketch of the life and services of Gen. J. John ston Pettigrew, who was mortally wounded at Falling Waters, Maryland, in July, 1863, shortly after the battle of Gettysburg. It is in pamphlet form, and was published by the Ladies' Mem orial Association of New Berne, N. C, before whom it was delivered as the annual address on Memorial Day, 18S5. The price of the pamphlet is 25 cents. The proceeds of the sale will be devoted by the ladies of the association to the care and miintainence of the Confeder ate cemetery at New Berne, in whioh are many from South Carolina. To his old comrades of the Kitie uegi- ment of this city, of which Gen. Petti grew was Colonel at the outbreak of the late war, and to his many friends in the State of his adoption, this epitome of his brilliant career will be of interest in itself and a valuable contribution to the history of the civil war as well. Upon the monument in magnolia erected to the memory of the officers from South Carolina of the rank of gen eral who died in service, the name of J. Johnston Pettigrew is inscribed with the rest. Col. B.8. Pardee Talk on the Situa tion. Occasionally Northern gentlemen come this war and stop long enough to get acquainted with our city and its surroundings, and to get a fair idea of what business we are doing, and of our prospects for greater development. Col. B. S. Pardee, of New Haven, Conn., is not a stranger to New Berne or its people. In fact he resided here fortome time, in 1862, when unfortun ately most of the men of middle age who are now our active and influential citizens were away from home attend ins to Terr urgent business. - Before they finished it and returned to this citv. the Colonel had eone North. Early in 1884, he came back to look about a little, and was so well pleased that he spent several weeks in this vicinity, and sent quite a number of letters to the New Haven Palladium and other New England papers descriptive of this Mo tion of North Carolina, its natural ad vantages and resources, and its business both present and prospective. - Those letters were written with friendly in tent, and with a candor that disarmed oriticism. Some of these were exten sively copied and doubtless gave to many persons a favorable impression of this part of the State. . " - - ; The brief account given by Col. Par dee of hit two weeks' tour in Jones and Onslow counties, and the practical sug gestions he made as a result of his ob servations are remembered with in. terest by many of our business men, at vf hose request, voiced by the President and several prominent members of the Cotton Exchange, he met a representa tive body of our citizens yesterday eve ning at the Exchange, and spoke in an informal way of many matters of gen eral interest. After- referring to the many pleasant acquaintances he made in the winter and spring of 1884, and to the hearty hospitality of the people of all the Eastern counties he then visited, the speaker said: "Before entering upon general sub jects, I wish to answer one or two ques tions mat nave oeen asKed me many times since I arrived here last week. The first is, 'How was business at the North when you left there?' To this I reply: 'The outlook was gloomy. What with strikes and labor troubles, dull ness at all foreign trade centres, low prices for all kinds of manufactured goods, and a fear of impending tariff legislation, there was no confidence in the future, and all conservative business men were trimming their sails for the storm that seemed to be coming. Of these unpleasant signs the labor agita tion is the most threatening. If the craze continues, (for it has become a craze) it will disorganize all industries and destroy for the time being any hope of a year of prosperity. The evil is not that labor has organized for self protec tion. Such an organization is right, and if wisely controlled and directed would inure to the benehtof all classes. The fundamental principles of the Knights of Labor are sound, but the evil is that influential men in that and in similar societies have ignored the principles they profess, and Instead have deluded their fellows to adopt the ideas aud imitate the illegal acts of European Socialists and Communists. For tbo time being such blat ant demagogues as Martin Irons have more influence with the labor organizations than thoughtful and law-abiding men like Master Workman Powderly. This craze must run its course before order is re-established and business restored to its nor mal conditions. But no man can fore- sue what may occur before this agitation is oyer. 1 he clewing of a single manu factory often compels several others to stop work. Suppose that in Obedience to an order of the Knights of Labor the employees of every Northern cotton mill Hhould strike. The disaster would be far reaching. Not only the retail stores of all kinds in the vicinity of these mills would be compelled to suspend, but the great factories where all kinds of cotton mill machinery are made, and which employ thousands of hands. would close also. In your own State the farmers now getting good pay for their dogwood and persimmon logs that were once valueless, the saw mills that cut them up into shuttle blocks, and the nun working in them would all suiter from such a strike. It would be felt on every cotton plantation in'the South, for when the great mills in live New England States ceased to be consumers the price of lint cotton would fall far below what it had cost to make it; and what is trueof this indus try would apply with equal force to all others. In truth the business of this country is so interwoven that an injury to one branch of industry affects every other. In one aspect, these labor troubles will be of permanent benefit to the South. Extensive strikes are not possi ble in agricultural communities. In the large cities, or at the ooal and iron mines, there may be strikes, causing temporary inconvenience, but that is all. The peculiar composition of your population, the fact that so large a per centage of it consists of freeholders en gaged m agriculture, will prevent any such condition of affairs as exists else where. Capitalists, manufacturers, and others at the North have begun to real ize this, and there is a steadily growing conviction that investments at the South, if judiciously made, will be more safe and more likely to pay hand somely in the long run than they will at the North if labor agitations continue. It is altogether probable that a consid erable part of the many millions that have been put into the South since Jan uary 1st were invested thus for the reasons I have suggested. Onr Firm Belief.

The boys brought in their opinions Saturday liberally enough in answer to What is a hen s eggr but tno gram matical errors were carefully left to themselves, save by one brave little critic, who .discovered an inaccuracy i . i mi WDere vuura was uuuu, lueru were, however, several violations of correct English contained in the article. The following answer by Master Ed die Vaes is sufficiently complete to en title him to the chicken. The portions in figures in parenthases are given by myself, not being really necessary in answer to the question, tbo way it is put: "A HEN S EGHi. 'A hen's egg is a body enclosed in a white shell. The shell is made mostly of carbonate of lime (97 per cent), but contains also phosphorus, magnesia (1 per cent phosphate lime and magnesia), iron and sulphur (and 2 per cent albu men, but how about the iron and sul phur) "It ia lined with a thin, white, tough coat made of what is called albumen. At the big end is a space holding some air for the young chicken. In this coat ing is held the white of tbe egg, with the yellow within it. The white is composed of albumen (12 per cent), mucus (2.7 per cent) salty matter (0.3 per cent of salts), soda, a little sulphur and water (85 per cent of water). "The yellow is thick and has a strong bag around it, and is made of water (54 per cent) vitelline, oleomargarine, (2o.o of yellow oil) phosphorous, glycerine, muriatio acid, ammonia, chlorine, soaa potash, magnesia, sulphur, iron and something to color it, (17.4 per cent al bumen, consequently very slight traces of the several last named material in combination). "This is the best I can do, and 1 get it from books. It is right and I want the chicken. I do not believe any other little boy will do any better. Don't you fool with me now, Mr. Becton, or you either, Major Carraway. A Graded school boy, "Eddie S. Vass." As additional information to the boys, I will state that a large-sized egg weighs 1,000 grains Avoirdupois, of which 107 parts are ahell, 604 parts white and 289 are yellow. The white contains 20 per cent of solid matter, 80 per cent water. The yolk contains 48 per cent Of solid matter, and 54 per cent water. By solid matter, however, is not meant tbe amount of nutriment in an artiole,for a portion may be woody, fibre, waste, lime, ehalk. iron, or other mineral. Bat enoueh for this time.
