The legislative nominations al ready made in Mississippi indicate clearly that Senator George will be reelected, and that the sub treasury wiug of the Farmers' Alliance will hardly be a factor in the Southern States. St. Louis Kepublic. The new wheat crop is going to be not only abundant in quantity but excellent in quality, if the, con dition of the early receipts may be taken as a reliable indication. Over 81 per cent, of six days receipts of the new wheat at Chica go passed inspection as equal to the contract standard. This is an unusually high percentage for this early stage of the season, A contemporary who has been applying mathematics to Nevada and claims that "at the present rate of decieaeo Nevada's popula tion will entirely disappear in 1920" ignores the fact that United States senators and congressmen never resign and rarely die. It is perfectly safe to wager that Neva da will have a population of three, even in 1920. Hon. H. C. Tompkins, chairman of the Democratic Executive Com mittee of Alabama, says: "I scarcely think the Democratic party will suffer through the Al liance movement in Alabama. A third party ticket may be put out, bat it would have very little follow ing. I think there was only one Alabama man at the Gineinnati convention, and he had always acted with the Republicans. We regret to find the asser tion made that Got. Polk, president of the National Farmer's Alliance, and nearly all the other prominent leaders of that alliance in the South, are bent on attempting a third party movement in the South ern States, Irrespective of the consequent danger of negro supre macy by weakening the Democratic party. We trust there is no truth in the ; assertion. Norfolk Vir- : glalan. The annual coffee crop of the ' world is estimated at over 11,000, 000,000 pounds, worth ; at first hands 1135,000,000. This enormous quantity is grown in lands between the parallels of, 30 degrees north and 30 degrees south latitude, mainly in British India and the neighboring islands, in Liberia and other parts of Africa, in the West Indies, Mexico, Central America, and Brazil. The domestio con sumption of the United States amounts, to 661,132,100 pounds, which is valued here at 972,140,000, and of whioh 90 per cent, comes from countries geographically be longing to this continent.

A friend of ours suggests that the city authorities put on sign boards the names of the different streets, and plaoe the boards on eaoh and every corner in the city. It is with great difficulty that the names of the dif ferent streets in some parts of the city can be ascertained and upon being asked some who live on them would probably state, that they did not know. The convenience and satisfaction to be derived from this improvement would be well worth the small outlay, Appreciated Words. The following editorial from the Sentinel does not go without apprecia tion from us. It has been our first and highest aim to work for the cause of New Berne and it ever will be: "The Journal has been produoing a series of articles on New Berne her past characteristics her future possi bilities, that reflect great credit upon that enterprising daily.

Suoh gatherings of farmers and their families for recreation, social pleasures and friendly interchange of opinions on matters effecting their in terests are bound to prove both enjoyable and improving and the crops being laid by gives a good opportunity to have them.

We commend this matter to the im mediate attention of our business men. Let those who are willing to take stock donate suitable sites or sell them low, or offer other inducements make It known. Mr. Books' address can be obtained from the Journal offioe. A oompress would be a great benefit to New Berne.

Department of Interior, united states geological survey Guoqraphio Branch Washington. D. C June 6. '91 To the City Clerk: Dear Sir: I find great uncertainty in spelling the name of your city. It is spelled Newborn, Newberne, New Bern, New Berne, Newburn. I take the liberty of appealing to you to inform us as fully as possible what the usage is in the official documents of the oity. In case you have information at hand I should be glad to know under what name the oity was chartered. Very Respectfully, Henry Gannett, Chin. Ex. Com. on Oeographioal Names. Newburn, N. C, June 10, '91. Henry Gannett, Esq., Chairman Ex. Committee, eto: Dear Sir: Tours to our City Clerk has been handed to me with request that I would reply to it. From the earliest information that I oan obtain op to the year 1863 the name of the town was spelled Newbern. The nsme under whioh it was chartered was Newbern, I send you a bound oopy of the Acts of the General Assembly published in 1793. By reference to it you will see the laws passed by the General Assembly whioh was then held at Newbern, N. O., while under King George the II and King George III. In numerous plaoes, in fact all over the book, reference is made to the town of Newbern, N. C. One among the very first acts is in regard to Newbern, N. C, dating baok to 1715. I send you a copy of the oharter of the Town of New bern, chartered by act of General Assembly in 1733. A number of amendments have been made but no obanae has legally been made in spell, ing Newbern. Newbern was settled aDd named in 1710. Incorporated 1732. I send you a copy of the Aots of the General Assembly held at Ed en ton, N. O., Oeorge I, the 23rd day of Novem ber, 1723: "Whereas, A certain plot of ground wsb formerly laid out into a township by the name of Newbern, same is deolared' confirmed, and in corporated into a township by the name of Newbern." In 1866, General Assembly of North Carolina: "That the corporation heretofore existing as the town or JNewbern, snail hereafter be established and known as the City of Newborn.1' Refer to Hawks' report. Supreme Court of N. C. ose. Vestry of the Protestant Episcopal Church of New bern vs. Trustees Newbern Academy, argued by William Gaston and John Stanly, all through the case it is New bern. Judge Gaston and Mr. Stanly doubtless knew the legal name of it. A large number of the old citizens have always oontinued to spell it Newbern. In 1863 Newbern was oaptured by the forces under General Burnside. At the capture nearly all the citizens left and the town for three years was in the hands of the IT. 8. troops; a large num ber of persons came to Newbern during the war and went into business. The postoffioe, and every office both town and oounty, the banks, the newspaper, were all in the hands of those who had recently settled here. The stamps at the postoffioe were at this time changed from Newbern to New-Berne, the newspaper was headed New-Berne, the city and county officers all spelled it New-Berne, This change was made by comparative strangers without a scin tilla of law or authority. I inolose you a handbill just issued by our city authorities in regard to some ordinances, in wbioh you will see that in a few lines the name of the oity is spelled Newbern, New Bern, New Berne. To the eye of a stranger this must appear not only inconsistent but ludicrous. Very respectfully, Your obt. svt., William H. Ouver. Department of tbb Interior 1 United States Geological Survey, Geographic Branch, j Washington, D. C, June 30, '91. Wm. H. Oliver, Esq., Newbern, N. C,: Dear Sir : I have to acknowledge your great courtesy in furnishing me information regarding the proper spell ing of the name of your city, and par ticularly in entrusting to me a volume of the laws of North Carolina of 1793. I have examined the latter with interest and return it to you, and trust it will reaoh you safely. The facts which you have given me will doubtless lead the board to the adoption of the spelling of the name Newbern. Sinoerely yours, Henry Gannett, Chm. Ex. Com. on Geographioal.Names. Action of the U. S. Government. Department of the Interior United States Geological Survey, Geographical Branch, Washihgton. D. C. Julv 18. 1891 William H. Oliver, Esq.. Newbern, N. C. : Dear Sir : I take pleasure to inform you that at a meeting of the Board on Geographio Names, held last Tuesday, it was decided that in all Government publications and usages hereafter the name of your oity oity be spelled as above. With renewed thanks for the in formation you have so freely furnished me' I am Very Respectfully, . Henry Gannett. The. original oharter of the oity did designate it "Newbern" but as our readers are aware it is extremely sel dom that it is so written now. The prevailing orthography is to make it two words with a final e "New Berne" as the Journal has always used it. Postmaster W. E. Clarke and his predecessor Mr. Matt Manly inform us that the address on nearly every letter that oomea to this office has it aa two words and that the majority of them use the final . The letter' being ad dressed in this way shows quite conclusively how our people spell It, for of oourse, their correspondents as a rule oopy after them and aa oustont has established this way so thoroughly the natural inference is that it is the pre ferred way. -: . We do not intend to go into any dis ousslon of this matter. It ha been fully argued in th pan and we believe our oitisen understand the matter and have mad their deoislon and that very few of -them indeed : wish to use the nam a one. word. . The oity was named after the oapitol of Switzerland. As we staled, a letter of invitation was reoeived some time ago for a delegation from here to at tend the celebration of the 700th anni versary of its founding. The or thography used in spelling the name of the two cities in that document throws some light on whether a final e should be used or not. Its own name occurs on the letter hesd in the Swies language. It is then nsed without the final e "Bern." In the body of the letter, written in Eng lish, it is put "Berne" and the name of our oity is put "New Berne." Why do they make this distinction in the same name in the two languages V Because "Bern" is the Swiss form of the word and "Berne" is the English form, just as the Italian city "Venitia" becomes Venioe when anglicized and the people of Berne, Switzerland un derstand that fact and act upon it. We are also told that the two highest authorities, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in Great Britain, and the United States Secretary of State make precisely the same differenoe according as they use the word in English or Swinn. We would like to see everybody using one way and it seems to us the easiest way for this to be accomplished is for the few to oome over to the way in general use, but while we have our preference in the matter we are willing to abide by whatever method all will adopt if a determination can be reached. Building (Joing On N'oed For It. There is now about 825, COO worth of work going on or under oontraot to be done in the city in the way of erecting new buildings and remodelling old ones, principally residences, the cost of each one as a rule ranging between $1,000 and 82.500. Besides those there are others to be built, the contracts for wbioh have not yet been awarded. Theie is a larger amount of work going on in this line than at any other period since the war. We do not mean that the aggregate coet represents a larger sum of money, for there have been single buildings put up wboeeoost surpassed the sum mentioned, but there is a greater number and they reqnire more workmen. Our contractors have all thoy oan do, and every carpenter has employment. In fact the contractors cannot get as many hands as they need to do the work they have taken. Still, building is not going on any faster than it is needed. There is a demand for residences and it is almost impossible to rent one when wanted. Let a now ono be started and it will be ronted before completed. It behooves those wko hive ilia wel fare of the city at heart and who o n vacant lots to oither improve them or eell to those who will do so. Blow Your Nose. Alas, too often an admonition of a mother to her child. The poor innooent has probably inherited catarrh and is not responsible for its sore and filthy nostrils. Did you know that tender soft thin skin lining the nostrils, callvd the mucous membrane, extends all over the body. Every organ in the syBtem and every oritloe at the surface has this thin delicate lining as a protector. So you see what a fix the body is thrown into when the mucous membrane be comes irritated and inflamed by con stant friction with poisonous matter in the blood. Catarrh, leucorhear and piles result frequently from this condi tion of affairs. These diseases aro mere symtoms of impoverished blood. Now B. B. B. or Botanio Blood Balm, will by enriching the blood cause all such sym toms to disappear. Give it a trial. Henry Reeves, Shellman, Ga., writes: "Any man or woman who is suffering from piles and will not use Botanio Blood Balm is a fool, and it takes me to tell them so, for I suffered two years with bleeding piles, and B. B. B. re lieved me at once " J. J. Hardy, Toccoa, Ga., writes: "B. B. B. is a quick oure for catarrh. Three bottles oured me. I had been troubled several years." James W. Lancaster, Hawkinsville. Ga., writes: "My wife was in bad health for eight years. Five doctors and as many or more different patent medicines had done her no good. Six bottles of B. B. B. has cured her. For sale by F. S.
