The C.iy and the Electric Lights.
Mr. R. P WilMams has a communica
tion in this issue claiming that our 00m-
mentimthe resolution passed by the
city council relative to the contraot withl
the E.ectrio Light Co. is grossly inaour-
ate and that it does the board a serious
injury. It will require far-fetched
reasoning to find any injustice in the
item, in fact it is so far that nota single
councilman on whom Mr. Williams says
the injury has been is flic ted, has men -
tionea it to us.
Ou. etateinent was that the board
propyl I to pay the ElectriO Light UO.I
for tin- light aotually furnished and
deolhretUfl contract null and void if the
propotiiiion was rejected. There is no
nfeience here whatever that the board
will notuav for 1200 oandla cower
lights if they are proven to be suoh.
iney are only wining to pay ror tne
light actually furnished wmcn tney De-
neve to ne out 773-iaou or tne amount
contracted, rer-. inis is just ana proper,
Mr. Williams says that he does not in-
tend to permit the councumen to su
unoer raise coiors ana oeoeive tne peo-
pie iu their strenuous efforts to run the
electric lights on ana restore tne city 10
impenetrable darkness which prevailed
hen it was lighted by gas. We havelArKUB WM the orator, and the audi
seen no effort on the part of the board
to run the electric lights off oeoause
there 13 no reason wby they Should,
They only require, as it is their dnty,
that tha city shall pay f6r lights in ac-
cbrdance to contraot.
Eleotno lights were established m
New Berne because they are an m
proyeuient and an advancement on any
other system of lighting. v They give
better light, are less trouble, and. sreyanot na)j participated in the "glories
said to be much healthier than any
other method v: Besides, speaking for
ourselves, they are cheaper. ' 1
If there 'has been any gross inaccu-
himself when he says that the oity was
in impenetrable darkness when lighted
by gas. We would not pretend to say
that the oity was not better lighted un
der the present process than formerly,
but that does not necessitate that we
were in 7 utter ; darkness before. I The
gas manufactured here Is of good qual
ity and has given - satisfaction where

the Washington
stars,
When it was announced that the
Washington Stars were coming to New
Berne to play the Elm City Base Ball
Club on the Fourth of July a great deal
of interest was immediately shown.
The Stars have been starring consid
arable lately and have gotton the
reputation of cleaning up things right
and left, in fact it had been asserted
that thev knew no defeat,
The Elm City Club heard all this
kind of talk going on and felt a little
weak about the knees, nevertheless
-
they oould entertain no such idea as
letting such small boys as composed the
Washington Club handle them. They
went on the field that evening with the
determination, as much as they ad
mired the Washington boys, to carry
the day. The youthful looking Stars
with their cheerfnl oountenanoes and
gentlemanly bearing, were attired in
red uniform. The game had been
called only a short while when they
discovered that they had met a foeman
worthy their steel
From the beginning the game wasl
exciting and held the attention of the
large assemblage. Both in the field
and at the bat there was some fine work
done and very few errors detected
The first inning scored our boys one,
the third two, the sixth two more, and
I still the Stars had nought. Instead of
I exhibiting any discouragement, the
plucky little Washingtonians nerved
themselves up the more and the next
inning brought them showers of ap-
plause when they made a clear score of
three. At the close of the game the
Elm City stood 7 to the Stars 3. It was
undoubtedly one of the best played and
I most interesting games of the season
The good and jovial spirit displayed by
the Stars has still further endeared our
boys to their neighbor, Washington,
It has been said that anybody could
I stand success, but few know how to
I face defeat. No more beautiful illus
l tration oould be1 made of it than was in
I this instance.
Running- and Hurdle Races.
Toe running and hurdle races at the
fair grounds Friday were very interest
ing and added muoh to the enjoyment
of the exeroiata. In the hurdle race
I r om uameis, tne cnampion runner
01 tne Btate, came, out ahead, making
the run of a hundred yards in 12 4-5
MCOnde. Mr, unss. McHorley was sec
Mr. C. B. Foy won in tbe junior

of the Star olub, was next. There were
Mx entries in the Senior dash, and it
1 was ou this race that the principal in
I terest had centered. Every runner was
J known to be fleet, but no one thought
wiw oumpeuwr ler air, uauiein,

Editor Journal. You state in your

night a resolution was adopted nrono-

iur me ngnt actually lurnisned, and
aeoiaring the contract null and void if
" Prtoe,Uon ,i9. i"Oted." This
the board of councilman ...r. !.
jury. I think, Mr. Editor, that anv
dy of men which professes to have a
tbe electric lights, should have full
l?T luelr worK' "re is this
masterpiece:

Light and Power C. mpany are not to

claimed by them in their reeular mon-
"iy Dills, if, however, the said Elec
tric ijigoi ana rower tompany refuse
to accept tnis oner, and upon investiga
tion the lights aie found to be less than
1.2U0 candle power, then we will de
clare the contract with said Electrin
Light and Power Comnanv null and
void "
I for one do not intend to permit the
board of councilman to sail under false
colors and deceive the people in their
strenuous efforts to run the EleetrU
Light Company oil, and restore our oity
to the impenetrable durkness which
prevailed when it was lighted by gas.
The Electric Light Company insist that
the contract with the citr is being fullv
complied with, and cordially invites an
investigation, it the board honestly
believes that the contract is beine vio
lated, why does it not hiivo the investi-
gation and then base it demands
upon
the result of that inveHtigatiou? Or if
the board ban organized itself into a
guessing school, why did it not require
me ciecinc company to make a reduc
tion of COO-1200 of th contract price?
This is a much more inspiring fraction,
ana renders tne calculation much sim
pler. Rut perhaps the board baa an
abiding faith in odd numbers, and has
therefore determined to temnt chance
with the alluring fractions 77r-i:0O. I
desire to congratulate the city of New
Berne upon having a hoard of council-
men whose united power of vision is so
keen and accurate that it can deter
mine by a glance of the naked eye that
our electric lights lack just 425 candle
power (not one more nor one less) of
furnishing a 1.200 onndle power light.
Air. H,ditor. it is a very great mistake
for tbe members of tin 3 Hoard to assume
that because they hnve entered polit
ical life they are required to deal with
every one with whom their position
brings them in oontact in a spirit of
unfairness and injustice. Let the
praver)uunlu ".f bu luveuuKauon ana it

for, it will be fair and just both to the
city and the electric light company for
the board to decline to pay for more
ugnt than it is receiving. Permit mo
to add that the Electric Light Company
knotrs that it has complied with itB con
tract, and will be amply able to estab
lish the fact before the proper tribunal
if such a necessity should arise, which
it sincerely hopes will not.
