Fully covering all the prin cipal points of the criminal law he explained to the jurors just what they were expected to do and instructed them to make thorough investigations and bring to justice every violator of the law whom they could secure evidence against.

Hughes was killed here about ,11 o clock this morning when his automobile . turned turtle' in the second heat of an ama teur race, ,which had been arranged as one of the attractions of a local cele bration known as "everybody's day." Mr. Hughes, who was an alderman of the town, secretary-treasurer and senior partner in the firm of Hughes & Peace, lumber dealers, and prominent in the business and civic life of the, place,' en tered the race at the last moment with his four-passenger Ford. The course was laid out from Harville's drug store, in the centre of town, straight down the street along the railroad to the old college building, half a mile distant. PARCEL POST BE SECURELY WRAPPED Postmaster J. S. Basnight Headquarters Relative to Enforcing Requirements On This Variety Of Matter During the past month or two the clerks in the local post office have had occasion several times to refuse to take parcel post packages which were not properly wrapped or which in other ways were not in accordance with the postal laws and regulations. These violations have become so frequent, hot only in New Bern but iti other cities, that the Post Office Department has sent out the following instructions to postamste.-s, and for the beftefit of its patrons the Journal is publishing these in full so that they will in . the futur.e be able to avoid any trouble in forwarding parcel post packages. '. "Complaints have reached the De partment of the frequent, breakage of or damage to articles sent through the mails as parcel post, due evidently to improper i packing or wrapping. . This condition indicates clearly that careful attention is not being given to Section 37, Parcel Post - regulations, which states plainly that "Postmasters must refuse to receive, for mailing parcels not properly indorsed or packed for safe shipment. "Postmasters and clerks are informed that whenever it is shown that the loss or damage to a parcel or its con tents is clearly the result of improper packing or wrapping at the time of its receipt at the office of origin the person SULZER TRIAL PROCEEDS Louis Sarecky The First Witness. ; .

' A. ' , " , Turtle DRIVER WAS KILLED His Arms Broken The racers ran against time, each man having the entire course to himself, as the street is too narrow to permit the racing of more than one car at a time. Mr. Hughes ran the first heat in safe ty. In the second he got as far as the Methodist parsonage, not 200 feet from the finish line, when he suddenly lost control of the car, it is conjectured on account of striking a small bed of sand. The machine, traveling at least 40 miles an hour, swerved violently, and as the driver attempted to bring it back into the road it turned turtle, catching him under it. He was dead when taken from under the car. His skull was crushed, both arms broken and his body was otherwise mangled. In all probability he never realized what had happened. MAIL MUST Receives Instruction From responsible for its acceptance in that condition will be held accountable for the damage. "Umbrellas.c anes, golf sticks, and articles of like character must not be accepted for mailing unless they arc strapped securely to strips of wood of the same length and are otherwise wrapped and made sufficiently strong to withstand the impact from heavier packages coming against them in the process of handling in their various stages in transit. "Perishable articles particularly berries and ripe fruit also paints, oils, etc., contact with which would be destructive to the contents of other parcels, must be denied admission to the mails unless the regulation with reference to packing as set forth in Sections 25 to 37 are observed strict ly. Instances have come to the Depart ment's notice where there has been carelessness in this regard and damage to other mail has resulted therefrom. "You are cautioned to give this matter particular attention and to instruct your employees accordingly; also to give the subject matter appro priate publicity in your distrcit in order that the public may be better informed as to the rules in regard to packing, and thus guard against the danger of damage to merchandise they desire to. forward by mail." " HALF MILLION LOSS. Belhaven's Damages Larger Than At First Thought. Belhaven, N. C, Oct. 6. It appears now that the losses from the storm of last .month is even greater than first re ported. A most conservative estimate places - the damage to Belhaven over $250,000. Among the merchants we find the greatest loss. The Belhaven citizen locates a part of the damages as follows: Conner and Taylor, $4,000; Raiff Brothers, $6,000; George Adler, $3,000; Clark-Smith Company, $2,500; Sawyer Grocery Company, $4,000; Intrestate Cooperage Company, $50,000; Roper Lumber Com pany,' $10,000; Woodside Lumber Company, $2,000; Voliva Hardware Company, $1,000; D.

NEW BATTERIES INSTALLED Cars Now At Goldsboro May Be Secured For Local ' Line. There is a possibility and in fact it is probable that the New Bern Ghent Street Railway Company will soon discard the storage battery cars which they are now using on their local line and replace them with trolley cars. ' The company have four cars at pres ent and one of these has been in operation less than three weeks.' The other three have been in operation about nine months and it has become necessary to place a new set of batteries in these at a cost of three thousand dollars. If the company operates the line for ten years and the batteries wear out as quickly as they have on the three cars which have been in use since the line was first put in operation, they will have spent about forty thousand dollars in placing new batteries in them. Then, too, if the line is operated for ten years there will necessarily be ;i large number of cars and the expense will be greater. There are several trolley cars at Goldsboro which can be purchased and it is understood that a repre sentative of the local company has been to that town for the purpose of inspecting them with a view of buying them and putting them into service on the local line. To place trolley wires all over the line and to make numerous other change would of course cost quite a large sum of money but there are many who think that it would in the end prove to be the best plan. AT THE TABERNACLE MEMBERS GIVEN AN OPPOR TUNITY OF ATTENDING METHODIST REVIVAL. At the Tabernacle service Sunday night, the church was called into conference just prior to the sermon. The pastor stated that the Methodist church began their Revival Sunday and that he and the Board of Deacons in conference h; 4 decided to recommend to.the Church and Tabernacle con gregation that all the services of the week be ca!!ed off in order that the Tabernacle membership and congre gation may 'attend the Methodist Revival and assist in every way possi ble in leading lost souls to Christ. Motion was therefore duly made and carried by .standing vote to cancel all the night services for the week at the Taberna.de that the members may attend and co-operate with the Metho- 'rjist church in every way possible in this Revival campaign. There will be no services therefore at the Tabernacle before next Sunday at which time there will be regular Sunday morning and evening services. POLICEMAN H. WHITFORD NABS FLEEING CONVICT. , William Douglass one of the ten negroes who escaped from the Lenoir county chain gang a week ago was captured in this city early Sunday morning. Douglass was located in the northern part of the city by Policeman H. Whitford and was taken into cus tody without the least delay. Five of the ten convicts have been apprehended and two of these were nabbed by the local police. Douglass was taken back to Kinston Sunday afternoon and is again handling a pick and shovel.
