FREAR r Tl mi To Be Placed In Front Of The ; . -. - Building IS NEW BERN'S EMBLEM Figures Made By A New Firm Aire Unusually Life-Like. York Away back in the year 1191 Berth old V.. of Switzerland who was one of the greatest sportsmen of that time killed a bear on the spot on which he afte.'ward founded Berne in fact the the city was named for a bear and since' that time hundreds of these an inals have been kept in the public places of that city. ; After Baron DaGraffenried and the Swiss settlers came over to thesa shores and founded New Bern it was natural that they should adopt the emblem of the city after which the new town was named and accordingly New Bern's emblem has always been a. har Several years ago Matthew Manly, who was rnayor of the city of New Bern aT'that time went to ' Berne Switz erland as a representative at a big celebration there. While there Mr. Manley was presented with a handsome silk and gold flag bearing the figure .f a large bear.This was turned over to the officials upon, his return and has long graced aplace justin the rear ofthe Mayor's.seat in the City Hall. "Feed ing the bear" has long been a well known saying with the law breakers who have been lined up before the bar of justice for their misdeeds and Bruin's figure is by no means unfamilia -. Other bears are now to grace the City Hill. A few months ago the Board of Aldermen decided to have the old building remodeled and soon the- sound of siw and hammer was heard in that locality. After the masons ind carpenters completed their work a small army of painters began opera tions and when the building wis finally completed and Jurned over to the Al dermen -completed and ready for oc cupancy it was indeed a credit to the city. .. However there was one thing lack J ing and that was some exterior exhibi tion of the city's emblem. After con sidering the matter the Aldermen decided to place . on the front of the building a reproduction of the heads of three bears and these were ordered from a firm in New York .which make. a specialty of such work. . A few days ago' these-heads arrived and will soon be placed in position. The images are constructed of copper and are real works of art in fact they an so life- lijke that one expects them to emit a growl almost at any minute. The addition of these three bears to the building is a source of much food for. thought on the part of the law-breakers. Heretofore there, has only teen one bear, "to feed'' and with four of the animals on hand it means that- there will be an increase in the amount': of fines imposed by Mayor Bangert on those-: brought before him in order to appease the ravenous ap petites-of, the "critters." rjEVV STATE'lOHAIRF.IAN MS HIS HDS FULL IS NOW SENDING OUT NOTICES OF CHANGE OF.CONVEN- TION DATE'.

NO INSURANCE ON CARGO Three Masted Schooner Goes A shore In South Carolina And Then Breaks Up Three hundred thousand feet of lumber owned by the Hammer Lumber" Company of this city was lost yester-1 day when the three-masted schooner William Thomas Moore of Bethel Del. went' to pieces on a shoal near Little River S. C. where she struck last Saturday afternoon as she was being towed out from the harbor by the tug Atlantic, of Wilmington. The first messige received in New Bern Sunday morning from Wilming ton was as follows; "The three-masted schooner William Thomas Moore of Bethel Del. in charge of Captain Jones while passing out from Little River S, C. in tow of the little river tug Atlantic yesterday went ashore on (he sho-ils near the bar and reports reaching here indicate " that while the cre.w is not in iminent danger, the ship and cargo stand a fair chance of being a totil loss even tually. She is jaid to be pounding heavily and is working further ashore under the pressure of prevailing high, seas. Wilmington" tow boat captains ac quainted with the position of the Moore say they cannot reach her and have done nothing towards going to her assistance. The revenue cutter Semi nole upon learning of the accident hastened to the scene but Captain Carden reports fro;n Southport that the Seminole could not get close enough to aid the stranded schooner." The telegrim received yeste.-day was to the effect that the vessel had gone to pieces and that her cargo has wash ed iway. The schooner had loaded lumber at the Hammer Lumber Com- -pany's plant at Little River S. C. and was bound for New York, When she struck the shoal her tow line caused the tug also to be thrown against the shoal and but the fact that this was quickly cut the tug would have also befch stuck. There, was some insurance on the vessel but so far as is known none carried on the feargo of lumber.
