"Aristocratic-looking men. otn elegantly dressed women with dia monds on their fingers, buy five cents worth of seals, . while little children empty their pocketboOks of all their pennies. Only the other day a little boy came up ta the table with his mother. 'Mother, how many stamps shall I buy?" he 3aidi "As many as you have pennies for,!' she told him, and he turn ed his pocket book upside down and gave" forty-five. At one of the other stores, where the booth is near the door on the first floor, the little boy 'who leaves the evening paper stopped to examine the pictures hung above the Red Cross Table. There was one of tuberculosis children taken it th hospital with the Red Cross Seals help to support. Seeing some little col ored children in the group, the paper boy asked: "What are them smokes doin'?" He was told that they were sick. Then, spying the seals he asked what they were for. She told him they were to sell to help the sick. children in the picture, Digging a penny from his pocket, he put it on the table and started to take a package of twenty-five. He was told that the stamps were a cent each and he could only have one ,for his penny. Crest fallen for only a minute, he took the seal and stuck it on one of his papers, btart ing out the door, he turned and said as a parting shot: "The next paper I sell is going to bring two cents.

High Explosives, probably nitro glycerine, wis used and the safe was badly battered up. It was apparently the work of experts.

OF INTEREST TO BAYBORO Interested Parties Requested To Submit Statements And Arguments. The River and Harbor Act approved uly 25, 1912, contained provision or a preliminary examination ot 'Northwest prong Bay River to public wharf at dam in town of Baybof o, North Carolina." The required ex amination was made by the District Officer, and pursuant to favorable recommendations thereon, a survey was authorized. The report of the District Officer on the survey is favor able for the improvement of the local ity to the extent of recommending an extension of the existing project to the mill dam of a channel 50 feet wide and 10 feet deep, with a turning basin- just beow the dam, at an estima ted cost of $9,337.50, provided that local interests contribute toward the improvement $2,700. In accordance with law, the report has been referred to the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors for consideration and recommendation. From the information presented, the Board is not convinced of the advis ability of the United States under taking any additional improvement at this locality at the present time for the following reasons: The total amount of waterborne com merce at this locality is not large; and it appears that only a small part of that reported would utilize the proposed improvement. The existing project reaches the main part, of the town of Bayboro, and the improvement now desired would be in the nature of an auxiliary or supple mental channel for terminal purposes, which is usually provided by the local ity affected. The channel proposed is narrow would not be easily maintained and is believed to be inadequate for the pur pose desired. It appears practicable, by a reason able adjustment of rail and highway facilities, to locate a terminal on exist ing deep water if the present arrange pient is unsatisfactory. All parties interested in the proposed improvement are invited to submit within a period of thirty days from the date, of this notice, statements and arguments bearing upon the necessity for the improvement in the) interests of commerce and navigation. Such Statements should be addressed to The Board ' of. Engineers for Rivers and Harbors, Southern Building, Wash ington, D. C Should a hearing he desired, this can be arranged byfeorres- pondence -with the Board.

T LITTLE COTTONINNED CRAVEN'S SHOWING IS FAR BE low that of last yJear. The cotton's gi'nner report just issue hows that during the present season that 2,716 bales of cotton were ginned in Craven county up to November 14, In 1912 the number of bales ginned up to a corresponding date numbered 4,916. During the present season and up to November 14 Jones county ginned 2,631 bales, Lenoir county 5,503 bales Onslow county 1,718, Pamlico county 2,257. Last season these counties ginned the following number of bales: Jones 4,919, Lenoir 11,374, Onslow 2,718 and Pamlico 4,089. It can be seen from the above figures that there has been a large decrease in the amount ginned. This was caused by a short crop which was brought about by un favorable weather, and the encroach ment of various diseases to the cotton while in its early growth. & GIBBS SRESENTS Corinne King and Co featuring- "The Song Birds of .. the South" at ':i the Athens all this week V 10 performers Splendid 4 Singing;1 and dancing " Good Comedy ticts.

EAGLE COMPILES AND ISSUES SURVEY OF THE CITY. After spending three years in the work, Raymond R. Eagle, a prominent young civil engineer of the city, has last completed and issued a map of the city of New Hern and its numerous sub-divisions that is a credit o Mr. Eagle, and will be of untold worth to the many business men and corpora tions who have purchased one of them. In 1875 H. A. Marshall compiled a map of New Bern which, at that time, took in efery part of New Bern and was n excellent piece of work. Naturally- New Bern has greatly enlarged since that period, but up to a few days ago there was no map of the place, but the one made during that year. Realizing that New Bern busines men needed a new survey of the city, Mr. Eagle, three years ago, began this work. The map which he has issued is based on the one made by Mr. Marshall, but, in addition, a number of new- surveys have been made, hvery sub urban section has been included and there is even a map of the Glenburnie Park property. Each section of the city and the sub divisions are indexed in bold letters so that it is a very easy matter for any one to find either. Riverside, Ghjnt .arksville .or anv other sectionnwithou t he least trouble. Another featu is that, by using the map, one can tell list how great is the distance from one point to another, the scale is tnree hundred feet to the inch, and by meas uring one can estimate, within a few feet, the exact distance from one point o another. A large number of the maps have been disposed of and it is safe to say t hat man mor will be placed by Mr. Eagle luring the next few (lays, for no business house or public institution should be without one. OWE OVER NEUSE TO WORK OF REBUILDING IS RA PIDLY NEARING COM PLETION. The workmen who have been en gaged in repairing tne county nrnigc leading from New Bern to Bridgetnn, and which was washed away during I he storm of September 3, have completed their work and the only thing that now remains to be clone is the repairing cf the large steel draw. Just when this latter work will be completed cannot be definitely staled. C. D. Bradham, chairman of the ( rav en countv Board ol i onunissioners, told a Journal reporter yesterday that the steel which is used in repairing ihis structure, is expected to arrive in tne city tomorrow and the work will begin at once. The citizens of Bridget on are anxious for this bridge to again be opened to the public. A ferry line is being operated across the river but this is far from satisfactory. CAPTURE ESCAPED CONVICT BEN EDWARD TAKEN INTO CUS TODY EARLY YESTER DAY MORNING. Ben Edwards,' a State convict who was sent to tne penitentiary irom Besufort county and who later escaped was apprehended by two of Sheriff R. B. Lane's deputies at an early hour yesterday morning and a few hours later was on his way bick to the peni tentiary to , serve the remainder ol his sentence. ". About 9 o'clock Friday mght Sheriff R. B. Lane was notified that Edwards was at James City, just across Trent river from New Bern. Deputy Shenffs John Wetherington and Thomas Smith at once went in search .of the fugitive and succeeded in locating and placing him under 'arrest shortly t after mid night. . ",; Edwards was( brought to this city and placed in the county jail where he remained until the west abound train came- through yesterday ' morning'. Mv- GENERAL RABAGO KILLS HIMSELF Tampico Seriously Menaced By Rebels, Is Private Mexico City Advices. VILLA'S TROOPS MARCHING Huerta Appeals To Bank Man agers For Cash To Meet Pressing Obligations. Mexico, Nov. 2(. General Antonio Rabago, military governor of the State of Tampaulipas, killed himself .after losing Victoria, the capital. The suir cide of General Rabago is not admitted by the governriient, but the news is contained in an authoritative nrivate telegram to his relatives here. General Rabago, as military governor, was re sponsible fore t he garrison when Vic toria was attacked bv the rebels on November 17. ' It was not until this morning that Victoria had been captured. General Rabago, it was stated, had evacuated the city. Among the incidents connected with the capture of Victoria one is related of the execution of C aptain Thomas J a mez. He was told that his life would be spared if he foreswore the government, but refused and was marched to the place designated for his death. There he distributed among the firing squad all but one of a package of cigarettes. This he lighted himself and signalled to the officer in command to give the order lo fire. That .Tampico is seriously menaced by the rebels is indicated by private advices which say they are moving southward from Victoria and today cut the railroad 40 miles nortli of Tam pico. According to late dispatches the man agers of the branches of the London and Mexican atid thi National Banks at Tampico have been instructed to close their establishments and remove the archives to Progress! i. President H icri i s-.imtnoned the man agers of the Bank of London and Mex ico and the Nation. d Bank belore him this afternoon and explained to them llu- necessity of their financial assist ance to meet the obligations ol the National Railways o:i December 1.

Failure to meet the payments in l)o- cember would, it is claimed, have tie right of foreclosure, but as .s-ach action would have lo be brouglu in a Mexicau ourt because the company is a Mexican corporation, the dnticulltes lo lie en countered are obvious. BIG CLEARANCE SALE STARTS OK WEDNESDAY J. BAXTER TO SELL HIS EN TIRE STOCK AT A RE DUCTION. Next Wednesday morning, J. J. Baxter, one of New Bern's leading dry goods and doming inercnants, win start one of the biggest clearance sales ever put on in New Bern. Mr. Baxter has gone over his entire stock of goods and reduced the cost of every piece in the store. This great reduction will, naturally, mean a big; toss to him, but it will mean a big profit to the public wdio will have an opportunity of purchasing at remark ably low -prices.
