B.: Craven, superintendent sT;o, the New Bern Public Schools; ha ' 'returned fro Ridgecrest where he' went t6 attend to some business matters. Prof. Craven and his family spent, the Summer at that place and when the time came for him to return to New Bern to open the city schools it was necessary v for him to leave his automobile, a five passenger Ford,, behind and to return k by rail. .1 On this trip he decided to bring the . machine back to New .Bern and this ' did. Four 'hundrec and iles' were covered during the trip i:",t once did any accident happen -' machine. Prof. Craven made ous stops - along the. route not keep any record of his total , time; v. best roads were encountered In -estern part of the State and the t stretch of road was found be en Goldsboro and Dover, Particu- rly around ' Kinston and LaGrange the roads in bad shape and travelling ' 1 over them was no means all that could ' i be desired. - The best section of road . was found between Hickory and Newton and around Statesville. These are sand clay roads and at times Prof. Craven drove his machine at a rate of more than half a mile a minute. t ' The road leading from . Greensboro, to v' Burlington was another good section of road found bv - Prof. Craven. After passing Burlington 'and coming down on toward Hillsbonvhe encountered a lot of red clay and for several miles this impeded his progress. , However, there had just been 'a heavy rain in that see tion and this accounts for the condition of the roads in that locality at that time. The, road between Raleigh and Smith- field is also in pretty good .. condition f and is used a great deal by automobiles drivers. i As stated above the route between Goldsboro and leaver is a bad one and Profs Craven, was compelled to make this Dart of his journey at a . - very1 very slow speed. ' ' ? ' After seeing the various roads Prof. Craven is heartily in favor of the sand clay variety and states that in his be lief it is the only satisfactory way of building thoroughfares which will give complete satisfaction. - FlflDS STARS IN THE, 111" TREES "NATURAL CURIOSITY CAUSES MUCH COMMENT,,, LOCALLY. ." The Journal yesterday carried a very interesting article, about' the, "rain or aspen trees which have caused so y" much comment in this city during the .last iew days, One of the peculiar ' hjngs about this tree and which was ., explained in jthe Journal, is the" fact that just at this time the sap is Jailing , from the' limbs and branches and jthis ereatly resembles rain Yesterday " another peculiar thing was discovered about the aspen tree r bjj J."SK- Willis. After reading -.the article in the journal Mr, t Willis ; went out to take a toolcat a tree of this ? variety and after finding oney picked - . up a twig which had fallen to the ground and cut it in two with his pocket knife.

He. found several twigs and cut " into each one in the same centre of the ; and cut hito each one In the same, man ' ner and each this star was found.

General Huerfa's decree taking unto iiiniself'iegi8lative as well as executive powers has swept aside all hope here that the. , Huerta regime would re-establish constitutional government or be able to cope with the increasingly vigorous fighting of "the Constitutionalists. Both President Wilson and Secretary Bryan are turning over in their minds the possibilities of a more aggressive course o( action by the United States. Three methods of dealing with the sit uation are being suggested as open to the Washington Government. First, there is ever-recurrent sugges tion in official circles of a military and naval demonstration which would serve as a recautionary move in case a forcible policy is later required For the pres ent, however, the President and his advisers are concentrating on a constru -tive solution by the use of peaceful measures. Second, many officials think a series of ; strong demands made upon the authorities at Mexico City to force the i'mmediateelimination of General Huerta would complete the record of the United States in attempting to assist as "the nearest neighbor." in solving the difficulties of the southern republlcS It has been suggested by some of the officials that should such demands be ignored, the American Government would be justified in throwing their support to the Constitutionalists in the north. I , Third, the United States could formal ly announce its absolute "termination of relations w th the Huerta officials, leav ing it to the influence both of the Con stitiitionalisti movement and various liberal elements in Mexico City ' to secure 'the elimination of Huerta and the establishment of a provisional gov ernment, with which the Constitution alists would, negotiate for peace -amd arrange a free ejection in compliance with Mexican law. 1 .

IN EL W i r 6 SGHOO UP n Young Man' Has Fort Barnwell Narrow Escape From Death. A SON OF W. SAULS Physician Takes More Than Hun dred Stitches In In- V ' jured Member. An accident which came near being fatal occurred yesterday afternoon vat Fort Barnwell when Luby Sauls, the twenty-year old son of W. R. Sauls had his arm caught in a cotton gin . owned and operated by his fathejv ' The young man's arm and hand was so badly injured that it will probably be necessary to amputate it. Young Sauls was engaged in taking seed from beneath the gin when the accident occurred. In come way a trap door fell through and the young man, in trying to keep his body from falling in the machine, threw out his hand and this was caught in the gin's teeth. The victim made frantic efforts to extricate his hand but these proved without avail and slowly his arm was drawn nto the machine and did not stop until his body was wedged against the trap door. Then the sharp knives continued to tear away the flesh until the pwer could be cut off from the machine. The young man was extricated front' his predicament and a physician was summoned from Dover. His father was in New Bern and he was informed of the accident over the telephone. Register of Deeds Stephen Fowler offered to take Mr. Sauls to his home in his automobile and the trip was begun a few minutes after the telephone message had been recieved. Upon arrival on the scene the physi cian stated that there was the barest possibility that the injured member could be saved. M ore than a hundred stitches were taken in the young man's arm. Last night he was resting as well as could be expected under the cir cumstances. It isn't the easiset thing in the world to transform duty into desire. AT THE ATHENS TOM! Morton Sisters.
