NEW BERN WILL BB MADE SPOTLESSLY CLEAN The Clean Up Day Has Arrived and The Workers Will Early This Morning Begin operations iwery Citizen Urged To Co-operate (By Mrs. Civile Eby) Do you want to keep sickness from your home ana maxe your residence and lawn as attractive as that of your neighbor? Then join the great Clean-Up and Paint-Up campaigif to be inaugurat ed this morning, and make your pre mises spotless. Never before has a more united ef fort been made on the part of the citizens of New Bem to make it a spotless city, than has been demonsrat- ed during the past few weeks. And these efforts and plans culminated in the actual beginning of the Clean-Up and Paint-Up campaign. Many citizens began -cleaning pre mises several days ago, and upon the visit of the garbage: man today only the usual amount, of refuse will be carried away." In other places, how ever, much - of', the accumulation of the past six months is to be moved. It is at homes where filth vand trash are allowed - to accumulate that dis ease is most likely to appear. Swat the fly! But better stilt is the plan of removing places which attract flies and In which they breed, an4 starve them. A unanimous effort -is being made by the city and suburban officials and the officers of the City Beautiful Club in cleaning up the VtJi. - The clean- up idea was suggested by the City Beautiful Club. i . ; : has txjen extended until, it embraces aPaint-Up -campaign, and through out the city . and suburbs houses are being, painted r and : repaired, : flower boxes are being placed on front porches, in windows', and " in" other .attractive places about ' the house and lawns, and lawns, and residences are being made to have a real spring-like appear ance.. 5 . .i.l'k.Ah, m-- Everyone should 'join in the great Clean-Up :and Paiat-Up crusade. : , : A fy is a xarrier. of duease.

One of the b?t ways to prevent disease is to prevent the ex istence of flies, which are carriers of disease. Fully 4,353,564,672,000,000,000,000 fibs can be slain by a fly-swatter at tish time-of the year. Starting with one fly now, the great number saved above would be the direct result by September if that fly is allowed to live. Clean away tha flies breeding places, that is, prevent thousands from ever being born at all, and the number destroyed in the long run L almost unthinkable. The movement for a cleaner city has been greater this year than ever has been greater this year than ever before, a public interest having been awakened and it is expected that the impefus given for a better and clean er city will continue even after the clean-up period, and that the city will be kept clean. All citizens are expected to co operate, in every way possible. Trash and garbage will be loaded into wa gons and carted away. The trash will be placed in convsnient places near streets or alleys, The city'j houaecleaning will be followed by the city house beautify- ing, many having expressed thenuelves as preparing, to paint their dwellings, A generahpaint-up campaign will fol- low.

GOilFESSIOrJ OF iHlBaHlllE CAUSES SENSATION Atlanta Minister Says He Accept ed Bribe $250 FOR FALSE AFFIDAVIT Acknowledges He Was Paid To say Me Heard Jim Conley Confess. (Special to the Journal) 1 ftiLflivift. l.a., April Ml. A tre mendous sensation was created here today when Rev. C. B. Ragsdale, a prominent Baptist minister who few days ago made an affidavit in the Frank case stating that he and a man named Barber had overheard James Conley, the negro factory attendant,, confess to the killing of little Mary Phagan, confessed that this affidavit was false and that he had been paid two hundred dolllars for making it. Both Ragsdale and Barber made affidavits declaring they had heard a negro confess to the murder of a girl in the pencil factory. Barber even identified the negro as Jim Con ley. They brought their stories to Frank's lawyers, and, according to the lawyers, presented character in dorsements from prominent men. Immediately after the confession had been made, Frank's attorneys issued the following statement: Not Known by Counsel. "On Thursday, April 23, 1914, there appeared in the office of L. Z. Rosser, in the Grant Building, two men who professed to have important infor mation in reference to the Frank case, One of them presented himself to be a preacher and the other a former mem ber of his flock. "These two men were unknown to each of us. Neither of us had ever seen or heard of them .before. "L. Z. Rozzer acted in taking the affidavits of these men. lie put them to the test of the most thorough cross- examination of which he was capable. There was no effort to lead them, to add any color to their storv. On the contrary, they were given clearly to understand that trunks counsel wanted the truth, and in taking their affidavits we were seeking nothing beyond just what they knew and knew accurately. "The affidavits were prepared in their presence, almost their very words being taken by a competent and honest stenographer. After the affidavits were carefully sworn to before a disinterested notary public. Believed Motives Pure. Neither one of us dreamed that they were acting corruptly, but be lieved that they were acting Irani pure motives to correct the wrong of tlnir former silence. . "They were tasked to give the names of their frieids and associates, as the law requiris. They gave promptly some 01 tne most ceqreet arm. upj-jgiit. men in the city of Anantj !,ft y "Some of these men wre'jarhjkU' seen in an enorc to aetermrne. wuein 1 ' .U t Jills'-.'. er mese mtrii were wuai i.ircyr scr and represented themselves' to :te. "The result vjas. -in keeping with their claims. Sortie of the .best men in Atlanta vouched for f hem, and we felt justified in presenting their story to the court. "It has come to our ears this even ing ihat 'both of . these men now recant and claim they framed up their story. "If. these 'rumors be true, we de nounce the perfidy of these men with all the vehemence of .our natures. "Want Only the Truth" '"In this Frank case we have never wanted anything, but the truth, have never made Aise-t,efanything but what wabefieyedto be the truth.

"HERBERT HAAS, , , NEGRO EH FIRED" Peter Fisher No Longer To Serve Route No. 1 PATRONS MADE COMPLAINTS Receives Notice That The Gov ernment No Longer Requires His Services For some months the citizens re siding along the rural free delivery route No. 1, running out of New Bern have been making complaints against Peter Fisher, the c tlored mail carrier who has for sixteen years been a rural mail carrier from the local office. Among the other complaints entered against Fisher was that he had des troyed letters which had beenmailed to patrons. Postoflice Inspector Hem ilwright has made several trips to New Bern to investigate these charges and evidently substantiated theu, for yes terday Fisher received notification that his services were no longer required by the Government. Fisher was the first colored mail carrier to go out from the bcal post office. He was appointed by the late Seymour Hancock at the tine that he was postmaster and has been in the employ of th- government since that time. The rides of the Postoffice Depart ment are very stringent in some cases and they specifically state that all mail carriers must promptly attend to their duties and to treat the patrons of the route with the greatest couifajji judging Iron the factjjthat Fisner has been dismissed, it seems that he has fallen short of this and in conse quence has lost his place. Up to the present time no one has been appointed to carry the mail on route No. 1. SENATORIAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETS GATHERED IN THIS CITY YES TERDAY AND SET DATE FOR CONVENTION 'ft.
