of the first Baptist both called their
service' off and their congregations
worshipped at the Tabernacle. The
larger auditorium was filled, also the
vestibule and many turned away
who could not be seated. The subject
of the hour was "Hell. Is it Eternal."
The "preacher' gripped his .audience
in the beginning and held them by his
magnetic ' words-, throughout the dis
coursev The large crowd was profoundly-convicted
and New Bern1 has been
doing .. serious . . thinking .'' since. '
There 'wa "a nice audience present
last ;; night - and the ' subject discussed
was' "Re'rjentance." . There were two
additions to the church at the close
of the sermon. ' - '-

Matamoras Mexico Nov. 3. A final
attack on Monterev with the combined
Constitutional forces now in that vi
cinity was planned today at a confer
ence of Constitutionalist leaders at
Vi la Apocdeca 12 miles east of Monte
rey. The proposed attack it was- said
will begin as soon as the Constitip
tiohal forces can be concentrated. Ad
ditional details of the fighting at Mon
terey was brought to this city today
by Constitutional officers. The de
struction of several of the city's lar
gest buildings by cannon and fire is
affirmed. The number of non-comba
tants killed according to these officers
has been greater than the previous
casualties among the troops on either
side. Many of the wealthier class ii
is stated have been killed and the Fed
erals the Constitutionalists say here
summarily executed a large number
of the poorer class who were suspect
ed of aiding the; rebels.
The Constitutionalists claimed to
have had control of Monterey three
djs October 23rd 24th and 25th
but withdrew temporarily upon the ar
rival of Federal reinforcements.
Washington Nov. 3. Administra
tion officials shed no further" light to
day on their plans for dealing with
the Mexican situation. The govern
ment here is still awaiting some an
nouncement from the Huerta adminis
tration as to the result of the last
election.
Reports describing the conduct of
the elections and giving impressions
of the political situation generally in
Mexico were received today from John
Lind at Vera Cruz. It is believed some
of the suggestions under consideration
here have been submitted to Mr. Lind
for approval. j' ;
It is not expected that any announce
ment on the situation will be made be
fore next week.
Secretary Bryan -after two days' ab
scence campaigning in New Jersey
went over the Mexican despatches to
day before leaving to address Mary
land voters'. He said there was no
change in the situation. He conferred
with President Wilson before going to
Rockville.
. There was discussion today in offi
cial circles over the possibility that
the President might send a message
or make an address, to Congress giv
ing a detailed report of what has oc
curred since he last informed Congress
on the Mexican, situation. There was
no indication at the White House that
such was the plan.

THE POLITICAL
POT SIMMERS
''1 J .x-.--.:- .
Candidates For Various Offices
Furbishing Their War
Togs.
WHO WILL BE CONGRESSMAN?
Charles R. Thomas' Friends
Are Urging Him To
Enter The Race.
The political pot in Craven and ad
joining counties has begun
to simmer and already have the
various candidtes who have an eve
to accomplishing numerous and sundry
feats during the next twelve month
begun to furbish up thtir war togs
while the constituents of each of
these have taken an early start and are
boosting their favorites.
Much iiKvit-si. is being liianil'eMed
hereabouts in regard to the election
of a Congressman from tliik district.
While another twelve months remain
before the .laic is ag.iiti vacant and in
readiness to lie refilled and while it
is more than probable that neither
of the candidate- make an announ
cement betor tile rirsi i,f ihe coming
year there is much talk in the air
and a feeling of speculative expectancy
reigns as to .v!m will be tin- lonunaie
candidate.
It is understood that there will be
three candidate- i n 'hi- office Dr.
J no. M. Kaison. ol I al-.on. the present
holder of the office: leorge K. Hood,
of Goldsboro, and Hon. Charles R.
HON. CHA:i. R. THOMAS. "
Who may be a Candidate for Con
gress. Thomas, of this city. Mr. Thomas
was Congressman i'r-m t'lis district
for eleven vers, from 1S')- m 1911
and his record wa; an enviable one.
There is a strong eiitiimvu litre for
his return and his friends are i.rging
that he be one of the candidates.
Mr. Thomas was interviewed yes
terday by a Jjirnal reporter and was
asked to say whether or not ru.- would
be a candidtae for the office. While
he did not affirm the r imor which has
gained such prevakv.ee, he did not
deny it.
The fight will no doubt be a hard
fought one. Dr. Faison wants the
office again and will put forth every
effort to be re-appointed. Mr. Hood
has many friends in Wayne county
and surrounding section and they will,
if he enters the race, put forth their
united efforts to assist him in getting
it. Mr. Thomas is well and favorably j
known in the third district and if he
enters the contest, and it is believed that
he will, it is an assured fact that his
friends will stick by him. .

GRAVEN CITIZENS

Many Prepare To Shoulder

Tomorrow.
MUCH INTEREST MANIFESTED
Citizens Of Seventh Township
Are Expecting
Assistance.
Wednesday and Thursday of this
week have been set aside by Governor
Craig as "Good Roads Days," and all
over the Old North State will citizens
(8 forth on these two days to assist
in improving the miblic hiirhuf.-ivs.
In Craven county a large number of
citizens will assist in this work and
much good will be done. Every public
spirited resident of the county is urged
to lake his pic k and shovel and go
out and work a short time anyway.
Down in Township No. 7 the citi
zens have made preparations to do a
great deal of work and they want
the New Bern people to help them.
R. k. Snowden, superintendent of
public roads of the conn y yesterday
received the following letters from prom
inent citizens of thai township:
"We received your notice of Novem
ber 1st appointing us as organizers
to urge the citizens of our Township
to respond to the call of the Governor
of our State, and unite our forces
together with the Good Roads advo
cates of the City. On November
5th and 6th, and every man with
shovel in hand to give these two days
to the working ol the county roads.
'Thecitizcns of our township are
enthused over the proposition and we
urge our friends in New Bern, who
want good roads and are willing to
lend their strength for these two days,
to meet us Wednesday morning, No
vember 5th, at Thurman station,
at 0 o'clock. We want you to urge
every automobile owner and all others
in New Bern who are interested in
good roads, to organize and divide
their forces and come out and help us.
"Our Citizens say they will respond
to four call and give these two days
working the roads, provided our New
Bern friends who use these roads
will do likewise. Hence you see the
importance of arousing the good roads
advoctes in New Bern to action.
We do not expect them all to come
our way but we do expect a goorl num
ber of them and you kindly suggest
to them not to forget to bring shovel
and dinner as we will work from
9 to 12 in the morning and from 1
to 4 in the afternoon and our citizens
expect those of our city fren Is to do
the same.
"We believe owners of automobiles
especially are much interested in this
movement as they must realize that
the road beds a're eut'up and damaged
more by the travel of their machines
than by all other traffic therefore
our citizens feel that they should be
more interested in this work than any
others."

Kroni the above it can be seen that
the Seventh Township citizens are
expecting assistance and it is hoped
that they will not be dispapointed.
The building of roads is of vital inter
est to North Carolina as a whole
and to this section expecially and every
man should do his part.
