A. Niinn For Solicitor In This District To the Editor of the Journal: .Please state for me most positively through your paper that I have 'no connection whatsoever with the can didacy of R. A. Nunn of Craven coun ty, for Solicitor. I did not know he was to become a candidate, and had nothing whatsoever to do with bring ing him before the public. I am in formed it has been stated that I had something to do with his becoming a candidate. This is absolutely untrue and without any foundation. His candidacy was a surprise to me. I desire that you most emphatically deny any .statement that I am behind or am a party to the candidacy of any man for solicitor or any other office. Many false statements have been curculated about me, but I am going straight ahead with my campaign, and shall not permit myself to answer LEO M.

The people know me and, my, record, and all of the false statements in regard to myself have so far reacted in my favor. Some of my political enemies have gone as far as to circulate in this coun ty, and other counties adjoining, that I use "dope" and that I am insane These lies are only a few among many which have been circulated about me in my campaign, and I merely mention them to show the extent to which some of my political enemies will go in their opposition to me. I call Upon my friends and the peo pie of New Bern and Craven county, and this adjoining section to condemn and resent such infamous attacks upon' me who has served them faith fully and been their friend, and to condemn these attacks by their ballots at the Congressional Primary.

This section ol North Carolina has never, but once had the opportunity of seeing an Aeroplane perform the wonderful aerial maneuvers that has held mankind speellbound for the last few years. The art of flying has devel oped wonderfully since Mr. C. C. Witmer flew here on Nov. 22 and 23, 1911. Since that time they have learn ed how to fly up side down and to loop the loop. They are now building an aeroplane to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. Whether thi9 wondrful feat can be performed or not remains to be seen. Nothing seems impossible in this wonderful age of progress. Many aviators believe that it can be accom plished This section of North Carolina is promised a wonderful exhibition of flying for four days during the Home Coming Celebration the latter part of the jnonth.of May. The typj of mach ine that will be used here will lie a famous two propeller Wright passen ger carrying machine. The aviator will give a dennmtra-. tion of every kind of flying known to the flying profession. He will make a figure eight in front of the grandstand, will climb to a height of several thous and feet, stop his engine an 1 volplane to earth. He will swoop down in front of the grandstand, and when every one thinks that he and his machine will surely be dashed lo pieces, he will suddenly rise again and come sailing over thejheads o f the amazed thou- JAY BIRD Daring Aviator Who Will Soon B ; seen here. . sands of spectators. The real thriller of the entire week will be the daily races between an Aeroplane and a Buick Automobile, driven by Messrs. E. H. & Ben Williams of the New Bern garage. This will be real race, as the Aeroplane will circle around the track about fifty feet "over the automobile. It is ex pected that these machines will average from forty to sixty miles and hour. . The horse racing program for the celebration : is expected to surpass anything of the kind seen, in Eastern North Carolina in a number of years. There are now fifteen race horses at the .

The co untry tonight awaits word from Provisional President Huerta, of Mexico, as to whether the United States would be compelled to re sort to force to compel the' Mexican dictator to comply with the deman ds of Uncle Sam, that he promptly salute the American flag at Tam pico in reparation for insults to this country. Huerta has until 6 o'lock tomor row afternoon to indicate finally whether or not he proposes to meet this country's demands under an ultimatum sent him this afrernnor. by President Wilson. This final word from the White House made clear to Huerta that the United States has lost all patience with his "stallings" and that the Presi dent would go to Congress on Mon day and ask authorization to take drastic measures if Huerta has not complied with the request in the time limit prescribed. This means war. The sending, of the untlraatum to;Huerta fol lowed the receipt today of a state ment from Huerta insisting that the United States troops fire a re turn salute simultaneously with the firing of a salute by Huerta.' QPresident Wilson was golfing at the time and Secretary Bryan hur ried to the Country Club with a message for the president. QThe President at once got aboard of the automobile and hurried back to the White House where the follow ing statement was issued. Q General Huerta is still insisting upon doing something less than has been demanded of him and something less th,a'n would con stitute an acknowledgement that his representatives were entirely wrong in the indignities they have put upon the government of the United States. The President has determined that if General Huerta has not yielded bv 6 o'clock on Sun day afternoon, that he will take the matter to Congress JJon Monday morning. Leaders in Congress promptly rallied to President Wilson's sup port and declared that he would be given full authority to deal with the situation. Messages were sent to Admiral Badger, Commander of the Atlantic fleet, now steaming to Tampico; Admiral Mayo at Tam pico and Admiral Fletcher at Vera Cruz, directing them to be prepared for prompt action when word comes from the President. The navy is ready to proceed and there is feverish activity in the War Department where troops are being prepared to be rushed to the scene of action. Heads of the War j Department declare that if war is declared the army will be increased by five hundred thousand men, two hundred and fifty thousand of whom could be called into ser vice at once to invade Mexico. A prompt blocade of Tampico is expected and the marines will be landed to police the city. Presi dent Wilson left Washington for White Sulpher Springs, W. Va., to bring back his family who have been spending a few days there. On Tuesday a 3:00 and a 2:15. Wednesday 2:30 and 2:20. Thursday 2:40 and a free for all. Friday a 2:27 and a 2:19. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs day nights a gigantic firework program will be in display in front of the grand stand, by the North Beach Firework Co., who gave a' firework display here last; fall at the Fair. This company has tehown their fireworks at the Green sboro Fair for a number of years and they are pronounced by many the best ever seen in this Section of the State. . Their, program has been selec- 1 ted after,-carefully looking-over many ' program, that, Jfava- been, submitted by other makers of fireworks. " ' "i. '-
