v;-.b--ytsterday,. by . J.- White, a pro-
3' -, . ;i ? i tperpus Pamlico county farmer who was
, ;- .-spending the day in New Bern, the
il vi, -agriculturists of that county whp
'? Jhave in the past devoted large Bcre
V ' ; ages to cotton and tobacco, will in
sthe. future plant more food stuff. B t
year the farmers had large acreages
1." .in cotton and the storm and flood,
k( .-which visited this section oi Septemle
3rd, devastated that crop causing an
estimated loss of a hundred thousard
dollars in the county. Taking heart
again the farmers planted large-cot
0 ton crops this year, and now the price
has gone down, and they have been
ompelled to store the fleecy staple.
Considerable corn has been grown
there this season, and this the farmers
have" disposed of at high -prices, and
.'( this has caused them to come to a
decision to in the future plant larger
food crops and devote less acreage
to cotton. In the vicinity of Orien
tal for the past few weeks there have
been large "runs" of fish found. In
fact there haye been so many of the
' ' - nembers of the finny tribe infesting
:;.(' he waters of that section that every
''..-.').- "body who had nothing else to do has
been handling a net or a hook am;
liny?;' ?? line. Mr. White stated that one of
t A" ' ' t 'his neighbors went out a few morn-
ings ag6 and in less than two hours
. Shad caught eight hundred .pounds
of as fine fish as was ever taken from
Jthe water. These were disposed 1 of
to a dealer at a good price as the de
ana nd for them just at th'S' t:me :s
spec:ally large. Mr. WhHe '-stated
tthat although the . oyster. rseasoa had
opened, but few of the b:valves have

PROSPERITY , AND PEACE SMIL.
ING ON THIS ENTIRE ' .
SECTION.
Regardless of the fact that the Eu
ropean war has created a panicky ten.
tency in some parts of the country, if
Ihae had but little effect on New Bern
- las is iiiAWn by the statistics compiled
fcy a 'local newspaper man. Since the
beginning of the war contracts for
eighty thousand dollars worth of build
Hng on residences and business houses
have been awarded. - The work of
constructing a railroad from this city
ito -the Eastern Carolina Fair grounds
ti'as been - started, five thousand dol
Kars -have been spent for automobiles,
lind ithe receipts at the local theatres
iaavti places of amusements have been
rmore than five thousand dollars. These
l figures of expenditures for purposes
-which might be termed as not ab'sot
Flutely necessary are given to show that
tthls-esctloa is not suffering so greatly
tfrom the effects of the European situa
tion. Reports from.', other parts of
Craven, Jones, Onslow,' Pa m Ilea and
Carteret counties show that practi
cally the same condition prevails
in those sections. S. W. Everett, a
-well known citizen of Onslow county,
iwas in New Bern yesterday and while
tdiscitsaisv conditions there, stated (fast
(taken as a whole the citizens of Qnstow.
were financially in as good shape- dw
as they ever were. "Naturally", aid
-Jir. Everett " the low price of-cotton
" lias caused some worry but the majority
f our farmers Intend storing the sta
; pie for better J prices." Reports com
' ing-from other coun tires are similar
to those given by Mr. Everett and
optimism seems to prevail over the
entire section.
