(By Mattie W. Moore, Corresponding Secretary.) The Womans Club held a called meeting in the Club House on Wednes day afternoon at 4 o'clock. The chief business before the club at this meeting was to fill the office of President made vacant by the resignation, of Miss Hendren. . By virtue of the Constitu tion the Executive Board was empower ed to appoint a president and the unan imous choice of the board was Miss Bettie, Windley. Mrs. C. R. Thomas, first Vice-President, presided, and in a few well chosen wdrds most graciously presented the new president. Miss Windley took the chair and in her own charming manner thanked the clubfor the honor conferred upon her, saying she deemed it not only an honor but a privilege to be presi dent of this big body of women who have accomplished so much. She outlined her conception of the Woman's Club, what it stood for, first for organization, second for progress. The Club gave Miss Windley a rising vote of thanks for her acceptance of the presidency and pledged her hearty support. Upon motion of Mrs. Chas. Ives it was voted to set apart the first Wednesday in each month to be Woman's Club Day, instead of having the quarterly meetings held last year. It is hoped in this way the Interest in the club will be kept awake and more efficient work accomplished. The Club voted to give the New Bern Band $25 to help defray their expenses.

Time and again have automobiles and other vehicle drivers been warned to be careful while driving on Middle street, which is one of the busiest thoroughfares in the city. The officials have and are doing all within their power to regulate traffic so that acci dents will be avoided. Although there have been a number of accidents along that section during the past few months, none of these have been fatal, but that such is the case seems miracu lous to those who witnessed the acci dents. New Bern has not yet .employed a traffic officer, but many citizens whose lives are at stake are urging that one be. employed .and placed at the corner of Middle and Pollock streets and see that drivers of vehicles hive some regard for the safety of ped destrians.

To may be avoided and the expense ol paying interest saved by urging sher iffs to turn over to the treasurers from month to month school funds as rapidly as collected and by requesting sheriffs and treasurers having unused balances from other funds in their hands to ad vance from these to the school fund part or all of the money needed at the end of the month to pay the salaries due, thereby saving to the school fund considerable interest. In many coun ties, in fact in most counties, arrange ments can be made with one or more banks to cash all properly approved teachers' vouchers upon presentation, to stamp upon each voucher the date of payment and to receive interest upon each from said date until the date of settlement of same by the treasurer The treasurer should settle these vouch- ersjas rapidly as he receives funds from the school taxes. In this way consid erable interest should be saved. "It is a hardship upon the teachers to De compeneu to wau lor payment of their salaries or to discount their vouchers in order to have them cashed before the funds are in hand from the taxes to pay them. The purpose of this law was to prevent this hardship and injustice. There is no longer any jus- 'every month. Very truly yours, "J. Y. JOYNER, j "Superintendent of Public Instruction."

GREAT SHORTAGE OF FUEL Supply Of Food In The Markets Is Quickly Sold Bread Free Cleveland, O., Nov. 13. Storm ridden Cleveland today started the work of restoring her activities to their normal status. It will be sometime, however, before the work of restoration is complete. Bright, sunshiny weather prevailed and the slightly rising tem perature pointed to a thaw that would assist the workers. Prospects for a speedy resumption of street car traffic were favorable to day. It was also expected that the railroads would rise above the effects of theblizzard and establish commu nication approacjing much nearer to schedule time than yesterday. In the city this morning the Detroit avenue street car line, one of the great traffic arteries of the city, and a few cross town lines were still out of commission. Hundreds of laborers were at work clearing the tracks, how ever, and their reopening is now only a matter of hours. Vessels are able to clear Cleveland port. Life-savers and tugs owner are on the lookout for traces of wrecks on Lake Erie. While the railroads, street car lines and interurban systems are approach ing ordinary conditions, the telegraph and telephone companies will not be able to restore their lines completely for weeks and perhaps even months. Fifteen hundred babies have been without milk for thirty-six hours and prospects of getting any milk into the city, are .not .very good, but of other food except greenstuff, a fairly large supply is on hand. The big milk companies yesterday made sales only to those Who wanted it for babies and the greater part of the demand was thus supplied. Factories began shutting down yes terday because of the shortage of coal and they may not be able to open for a week. Retail dealers say a famine of coal for dwelling houes and apart ment houses depends on deliveries which just now are impossible. Triple prices were paid to the few teamsters who would haul produce from the cars in the railroad yards to the central market house and at noon yesterday the supply there had been sold out. "We are trusting to Providence for tomorrow's supply," said one stall keeper, as he sold the last bit of food on hand. Meat, eggs, flour and butter in suf ficient quantities to last several days are in the downtown groceries but in the suburbs where it has been im possible to carry supplies, grocers have almost empty shelves. Failure to replenish yeast supply, inability of employes to get to to work and the difficulty of deliveries have brought the bread situation almost to the famine point. Most of the dealers were caught unprepared by the sudden tie-up of supplies and the city may suffer se verely as a result. Ten plants of the American Steel and Wire Company, employing about 6,000 men, were shut down yesterday evening because of the lack of coal and SO men employed at the Golden Var nish Company were sent home for the same reason. Several smaller plants, not equipped with gas, were forced to close down and many others prob ably will be forced to do so today. Several hundred cars of coal for shipment up the lakes are in outlying railroad yards but will be available only in case of extreme necessity. Un der normal conditions the city con sumes about 500 cars a day. The company which; furnishes heat for most of the downtown office build ings reports a fairly large supply of coal on hand and the mune'eipal heating plant which warms a large part of the east end has teams hauling coal all the time to prepare for emergencies. While in conversation yesterday with Capt. Scales, of the New Bern High School - Football Team, the reporter was informed that there will be. a foot ball 'game with the . Kinston . High School team on Saturday the 15th, at Ghent Park.' The game will be called at 3:30 p. m.

NEW BERN MIGHT GET THEM V' ( Wilmington Trying HardTo Induce Players To Go There. The Philadelphia National Baseball Club is soon coming South for Winter practice and are now looking around for a suitable place to spend the winter. So far they have not made their decision and there is a possibility that they could be induced to come to New Bern if the mailer was taken up by the Chamber of Commerce and prominent business men. Wilmington is trying hard to get the ball players and will tonight hold a mass meeting to hear the report of two gent lemen who had a conference with the president of the baseball club. In re gard to this meeting the Wilmington Star of yesterday says: "Everybody interested in baseball and those who want to bring Wilming ton to the front as a stopping place for Winter tourists in the South are urg ed to attend the meeting of the citizens held in the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce tomorrow night at 8 o'clock. At that time Messrs. C. E. Greenamyer and J. W. Blomme will give a report of their conference with the president of the Philadelphia Na tional baseball club in Philadelphia last Saturday. "They are very much encouraged at the outlook, and believe that if Wil mington business men will get square ly behind the proposition that the club will locate their Spring training quarters in this city. In order to do this it will be necessary for local busi ness men to make some financial con tribution but, it is pointed out, they will be more than repaid by the adver tising that Wilmington will receive and the increase of travel to this point that will onie as a result of the "Phil lies" spending six week?, in tin's vicin ity. "It is believed by main that this will be the firM link in getting many Win ter tourists tc stop over in Wilmington during the time that they are in the South. If the bar-eball club find the climate to be sumru'iiuv mint to auow them to make this headquarters for their training camp there is every res- sou for supposing that many others would be sufficiently impressed to stop here also. "It means further lhai Wilmington will have a baseball diamond on which games can be played throughout the season. Then the exhibition games that the club will play here will attract many visitors from nearby towns and cities who will come hire to see them. And again it means that thousands of lines of press matter bearing the Wil mington date line will be sent out daily by skilled newspaper men which in itself would mean much in bringing Wilmington prominently before thous ands of readers throughout the whole country." If the Philadelpl.ii ball players could be induced to come to New Bern it would mean much to the city in numerous ways. One well known citi zen was heard to say yesterday that New Bern could easily afford to give them two or three thousand dollars to spend the winter here and this i9 t rue. Now is the time to get busy on this important matter and make the club some agreeable proposition to come here. REVENUE CUTTER GETS A NEW MEMBER. "Lieut. C. L.
