That day, at 10:30, Wiseman went to the baseball park, where Miss Warg was employed .with a travelling carnival, admitted that he had the child . secreted down town, and insisted that the little one be sent to Miss Wajg's mother in Penn sylvania.

A special. committee from the North ' Carolina Good Roads Association is preparing a bill to be introduced at this session of the General Assembly, to create a State Highway Commission on a basis that will be inexpensive to the State, it is said, and at the same time be capable of accomplishing a great deal of gopd in the furtherance of the good roads movement. The association called upon Governor Craig to name- two consecutive "Good Roads" days to. be observed through out the state by the peolple turning out and giving personal work in road construction and improvement on these days. The Governor gladly acquicised and immediately issued the following proclamation: essential to material prosperity, and to the advancement of the social life of every community; every people that aspires to join the forward procession and that hopes for the opportunities of our time is beginning to realize the necessity of improved roads; all sections and all progressive citizens are demanding them and determined to have them; the whole country has awakened to their importance; everywhere there is a generous rivalry to have the best, and everywhere enthusiasm for them is apparent, and increasing; and. "Whereas the people of North Caro lina are losing, according to reliable estimate, twelve million dollars an nually on account of bad roads this vast sum paid as a tribute to mud; "Now, therefore, recognizing the universal sentiment for road improve ment, and realizing the benefits which must result therefrom to all the people, I ARMED POSSE IS NOW SEARCHING FOR BANDITS Held Up Train Of The Alabama Great Southern And Got Away With About Fifty Thousand ' Dollars Safe Dynamited Tuscaloosa, Ala., Sept. 27.

DAYS, and do appoint these days as holidays and days of festival throughout the State, to celebrate the beginning of an era wherein im proved highways shall be built in every neighborhood, that all the people of farm and city may enjoy the oppor tunities which they bring. I call upon all patriotic people through out the State to work upon the public roads and refrain from all other occu pations on these appointed days; and I call upon every able-bodied man to shoulder his shovel, and march out and strike a blow for progress. Let the farmer, the merchant, the lawyer, the doctor, the minister of the Gospel, the rich and the poor, and the men of all the walks of life enlist as volun teers in this mighty army for grand accomplishment. "Let no man be above this work, nor forget his duty to himself and to his neighbors. It will be an honor to every man on these days to labor with his fellow-man to banish from the country the curse of bad roads and the evils that accompany them. "Let all the people of every station, high or low, be moved by the same patriotic impulse to work for the com mon weal. To all the benefit will come. Let all participate. "I do appoint and set apart these days, the Sth and 6th of November, that the people may have an oppor tunity to give substantial expression to the universal desire and determina tion of the State, in action inspired by hope, and rejoicing that will resound in one unbroken chorus from the moun tains to the sea." James Bonner, a deputy Sheriff of Birmingham, was shot and killed, ac cidentally today by another member of the posse, of which he was a member. Mail Clerk Leander Poole today gave out the following statement: "The robbery was committed by three masked men, only one of whom ap peared to me to be at all experienced. The other two were young and nervous. One of them did considerable promiscuous shooting and cursing . in the mail car. "Bullets passing through the car nar rowly missed four men. I am confident the robbers were drunk. While crouch ed under the counter I had the pres ence of mind to save a few registered letters. "The last charge of "dynamite that blew the express safe was very heavy, it jarred us 100 years away. They Jiad modern appliances equipped with lights that threw rays so they could see us, but we could not see them. As they were marching us back to the passen ger coaches I fell into a cattle guard and sprained my ankle. One robber warned us of the cattle guard just as I fell. "The fireman said the robbers got off with mail sacks full of booty. I be lieve I could identify the robber who' did the shooting and cursing. I got a good look at him. The smaller robber, who guarded the rear end of the ex press, car, seemed experienced. The express messenger had no chance to defend himself." DR. R. S. PRIMROSE ILL AT BALTIMORE, MD. Dr. R. S. Primrose, one of the leading local physicians, is critically ill at Baltimore where he went several days ago. .

TWO MEN WILL BE CHOSEN Battleships Will Leave Next Month For European Waters. Having been delegated by Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels to select two men from the North Carolina Naval Militia to accompany the At lantic fleet on its cruise into European waters, Commander C. D. Bradham has not announced his selection but will probably do so as soon as he re turns from a hunting trip in the Southern part of Craven county. This trip will be one well worth taking and naturally there are a number of officers in the Naval Militia who would like very much to be chosen and until the two who. are to take the trip are announced there will naturally be a great deal of anticipation in the naval circles of the State. The Army and Navy Journal, the official organ of the army and navy has the following to say of the cruise: "The Navy Department has ap proved a cruise to the Mediterranean this autumn of the following vessels of the Atlantic Fleet, under Rear Admiral Charles. J. Badger: Battleships Wyoming, Utah, Florida, Arkansas, Delaware, Vermont, Connecticut, Kan sas and Ohio; the auxiliaries Celtic, Solace, Cyclops, Orion and Jason. The Torpedo Flotilla will not accom pany the fleet. "The docking period has been ad vanced to September 20-October 2, the above mentioned vessels, with the exception of the Celtic, will leave Hampton Roads about October 25 and proceed direct to Mediteranean ports." The fleet will visit France, Italy, Malta and several other places before returning to the home port on Decem ber 15. The two officers appointed from the State Militia will have an opportunity of selecting any vessel they desire on which to make the cruise. THE SINGLE NIE WON THE GAME LOCAL BASEBALL "FANS" SAW INTERESTING GAME YES TERDAY AFTERNOON. For the second time this season the two baseball teams, one composed of the married men and the other being made up of those who are still enjoying single blessedness, met at Ghent Park yesterday afternoon and played one of the prettiest games ever witnessed in New Bern. The first game which was played just a week ago yesterday, resulted in a tie when the game was called at the end of the eighth inning on account of darkness. Up to the end of the eighth inning yesterday it looked like the married men would be the victors the score being six to four in theK favor, but in the ninth inning the single men made three runs and won the game by a score of seven to six. The battery for the married men was composed of Coward and Ellison while i McSorlcy and Marker d!d the pitching and receiving for the single men. T. C. Daniels and Howard Styron acted as umpires. The feature plays took place in the ninth inning when Bonds and Coward both singled over third and were brought in by Hanks who made a two base hit. Another game will be played between these two teams at an early date. Index to New Advertisements J. O. , Baxter You may see well. Sam K. Eaton School Days are Here. S. Coplon & Son Fall and Winter.

BEEN MAD REVENUERS ID ANOTHER STILL One Thousand Gallons Of Beer And Outfit Was Des- , troyed. ' FOUND NEAR NORTH HARLOWE Second Time In Past Week That Officers Have Made A Raid. One thousand gallons of beer and a section of an illicit distille rv weri located and destroyed near North Harlowe, Craven county, late yester day afternoon by United States Deputy Collector J. E. Cameron, of Kinston, and U. S. Deputy Marshal Samuel Lilly, of the city. The revenue officers were "tipped off" several days ago that a still was in operation in that section and made their plans to locate and destrov it and to capture the operators if possible. Early yesterday morning they left New Bern enroute to North Harlowe and arrived there about noon. Naturally they kept their movements secret and used every possible precau tion to prevent the operators of the still from learning that thev were in the neighborhood. Regardless of this precaution the operators in some way learned that the revenue officers were in the neigh borhood and succeeded in taking away and secreting a section of the still before the officers arrived. However, they did not have time to get the beer which was on hand and a large part of the still away before the officers arrived and this found and destroyed. Deputy Collector Cameron and Dep uty Marshal Lilly have been dili gently at work in this sect on during the? past few weeks and in consequence have destroyed several stills and also arrested a number of offenders of the Internal Revenue Law. A week ago last Saturday they located and destroy ed an eighty-five gallon distillery, near Stella, Carteret county, and captured Daniel Mill, colored, who is supposed to be the operator. According to a statement made last night by Deputy Marshal Lilly, the still found and destroyed yesterday was one of the largest and most com plete ever found by the government officers in this section. It is believed that it had been in operation for several months. While none of the operators were captured the revenue officers have a clue as to whom they are and arrests are expected to be made within a few davs. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxroc I Program at The I Athens Monday xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Jack Amick presents "Amick's Pennant Winners" in the original tabloid musical comedy Navaio.
