TUESDAY JULY 21 1914
The law breaking element of New
Bern seems to break loose every Sat
urday night and the police have their
hands full on these occassions. During tbj
the past three weeks there has been
one murder and a score or more of ne'ar
murders on Saturday nights. We would
suggest that in order to properly han-
' die the situation that the police force
- be doubled on these occasions.
We are immensely enjoying the war
now on between the Raleigh News and
Observer and the esteemed Charlotte
over the cor;eci way to
.spell New Bern. The Raleigh paper
says that it is "New Bern" and the
. and cites much proof of their assertion.
The Charlotte paper has as its conten
tion that it "knows how" and that it
should be "Newbern". So far the News
and Observer has it on the Observer
and we are waiting for another hot one
from the Mecklenburg daily. In the
meantime we shall continue to spell
the name correctlv New Bern.

sue a man who has "cussed" him out.
Well, getting hold of a few idle simileons
by the conrt route is sometimes pretty
easy and as Burns' clie.itelle has dimin
ished considerably during the past few
months, we expect he needs a little of
the filthy lucre.
Madame Caillaux, the French woman

the woman no harm but in order that

splendid idea for the children of Wil

Always look for that name
(Greenville Reflector.) - ' '
Mr, Bill Manning, who lives jrfbout
four miles from town came in th morn-
ing and drove to Allen's stables, on 4th
street, to put up his horse. He had bn'y
been a few minutes out of the. buggy,
which was left standing in front of the
stable, when a lot of bees were seen fly
ing around- underneath the vehicle. An
examination showed a swarm of bees
under the body of the buggy. Doubt
less they had swarmed there before Mf
Manning left home, took the trip to
town with him, and got busy after the
buggy stopped. When the swarm was
discovered a box was placed under the
buggy to catch the bees and take them
back home.
The Political Situation.

Certainly the Democratic outlook

something more than round up the

- At his. home in New Bern on Satur
day, night,' Mr Thomas gave out a
signed address to the Democratic vo

clined to enter the contest with' his
opponent, Hon. Geo.-; . Hood,': of
Goldsboro,' and in doing so he expressed
not' only, strong disapproval of the dis
trict committee's course in the matter
but bitterly arraigned the committee
along lin?s 'that have serious -import.

privilege of running foe the- nomination
and declares that the entrance fee

He declares! that the committee- topk

day of the primary on a date that would

In this instance,- The Star takes no
side in the controversy which is hard
enough for the Democrats in the Third
to settle themselves, but we cannot
restrain expression of profound regret
that such an unfortunate "Situation
