"war, scare"' which -has 'struck certain parts of the country. ast .season was a most disastrous' one- for the farmers bf this section and there is no denial of the fact that conditions now are not all that could be desired but in srite of this the agriculturists are holding stiff, upper lip and are going right ahead - with any plans they ad made.- No cotton is being sold for less than ten cents per pound and there is no need of such being done when tV ere are so many offers to take it at that price. Much of the staple is being stored in the warehouse in this city and other points in t! e country and this will be held until the prices increases. Investigation shows that the local banks are loaning money to many and the panicky feeling is not evident in the city or the surrounding districts. OFF TO PRESBYTERY Rev. J. N. H. Summerell, pastor of the Presbyterian church, will leave this morning for Olivet church, eight miles north of Tarboro, to attend the Alber marle Presbytery. Dr. Sumrnerell, while pa'stprof the Presbyterian church at Tarboro, organized and built this church, after which he served it for three years without pay for his services. At this Presbytery, every church is supposed to be represented by one Lay representative; C. E. Foy has been appointed to represent the New Bern church jn this capacity. Although Dr. Sumrnerell will not return uptil Friday at midnight, no services will be omitted at his church. Prayer, meeting . wil' . be - conducted Thursday night-byJ one of the Baptist ministers, and Friday night the services will 'be n. conducted by Rev. Euclid McWhorter, pastor of Centenary Meth odist church. All evening services at this church will, in the future be at 7 30 instead of 8 (50 as his been the custom during the summer months. PRISONER RELEASED George Hyman Takes the - , Oath Debtors .George Hyman colored who has been confined in the county jail for the past four months was carried before United States Commissioner C. B. Hill yesterday and after taking the solvent debtors cath was released from custody.

EL LIST NIGHT ftX LOCAL ORGANISATION A post Interesting meeLlng ol a numbr of the members of the C lamber of 'Commerce was jheld' last night at wiich time ways and means for taking care of the crtton crop in this section of the State were discussed ' President C. Ives stated the object of the meeting after which M. M. Marks stated that rrfany of the firms in the North were pufchasing a bale of cotton at ten cents per pound and be made a motion that the' Chamber of Commerce get ur a cirrnlarl letter to be printed uncle J; 3 Sin: of an) concern in the city and let the managers of these concerns sign the letters and send them to the manufacturers and jobbers urging tem to buy a bale of cotton at ten cents per pound. This motiort. was seconded and adopted. Secretary George Green read a cir cular letter gotten up and being sent out bv S,i Coplong ik Son to tl e jobbers with whom they do business, explain ing tl" situation here and urging t em to aid in bettering conditions by buying a bale iat "10 cents per pound. This tetter was heartily endorsed by the n-enbii. Hon.'Jas. A. Biyan, one of the city's leading "inkers tbld of the movement hte goverpmentt is making to take care of the cotton crep in regard to the funds placed in the national banks and wedt lnto details in regard to the man ner in which leans could be obtained. J; B. Blades and E. K. Bishop also made interesting taiic; ine latter sta ting tlit in his belief the proper thing for the former to do was to store the cqtton and borrow whatever money needed on- this. He- estimated that there are 10,000 bales in this section and that-rfit least twenty-fiAe dollars a bale earn fee. sebureU si each of these bales. A commiitee composed of J. B. Blades, E. K. Bishop, Jas. A. Bryan and M. M. Marks were then selected to investigate conditions as to storing botton ond to report back to the Cham ber of Commerce "iSSMtQ S J. M. Howard read, "a letter rom t e Nat ona Grain Association of Nash" ville, Tenn , weic they are sending out to the C! ambers of Commerce all over the country, asking that they ap point a committ -e to sond circulars to grain dealers in the west and northwest asking them to aid in t te buy a bale movement"; and made a motion that the, ileal Chamber appoint such a com mittee This motion met with favor and' a committee composed of H. W. Armstrong, E. H. Meadows, Jr., and J. G. Dunn were selected for this work. M. M. Marks next read a letter a ong thia same line from the National Wholesale Shoe Association which they are sending out to all shoe manu actur ers. Before the meeting came to a close H. W. Armstrong made a motion which was adopted that the Chamber of Commerce take up with t e Southern Wholesale Grocery Association and the National Grocery Association the mat ter of using cotton bagging wherever possible instead of jute bagging. Taken throug out the meeting last night was one which will probably be of real worth to New Borland vicinity in numerous wavs and, it is to be hoped that. the. plans suggested' will be carried out without any delay.''

Penn, Their Local Representative, Re ceives Notice of This Plan just Announced. Their Purchase ot Tobacco on the Local Market Has been Large since the Opening. A plan by wh ch the American To acco Company, ot New York, the larg est tobacco combination in America, will buy 100,000 bales ol cotton at 10 cents jer pound, was made public yesterday y J. T. Penn, the New Bern repre sentative. This is the most gigantic purchase by iny firm or corporation since the Imv-a-bale campaign began. The plan is for the company to pur chase at 10 cents a pound as many ;ounds of good middling cotton in the out-d states as the aggregate number of pounds sold of certain ot their well known brands of pLg and smokinq; tobacco and cigarettes between Sep tember 28 and November 30 ot this ear. Mr. Penn said this would reach 11)0,000 bales easily. The brands to which this plan will apply are Red J. and Penn's Natural eat plug tobacco, Bull Durham and uxedo smoking tobacco, and Soverin cigaretts. Letter Explains Plan Here is the letter sent out to the company's customers "To Our Customers in Alabama, Ar kansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississipi, North Carolina, Okla homa, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas (except tl Paso and Peeos Texas district "In a desire to further aid In the cotton situation, we have concluded to make this offer "We will purchase, at 10 cents a pound, as many pounds of good mid dling cotton from each of our customers in the above-named States as the ag gregate number of pounds of Red J. and Penn's Natural Leaf plug tobacco, genuine Bull Durham and Tuxedo smoking tobacco, and Soverlgn cigar ettes (counting each thousand ot Sover eign cigarettes as equal to five pounds of tobacco shipped direct to such customer from September 28, 1H to November 30, 1914. "It is to be noted that this does not jtem THE VAGS BEING in THIRTY COLORED MEN FACED THE COURT YESTERDAY In addition to the disorderly cases at Police Court yesterday afternoon there were thirty colored men and boys arrainged before Mayor pro tern Wil liam Ellis charged with being vagrant:;. Out of this number nine were convicted, thirteed discharged, and trie remainder were set aside to ascertain it they are really employed where they claimed to be. The sentences ranged from five to ten dollars fine'. and cost, or from ten to thirty days on the county roads. Maggie Slade, Dora Ward and Reub- in Payne, all colored, were fined fivu I dollars and cost,, for being disorderly in the city limits. Judgment, was bus- pended upon the payment' of the cost in the case against John Ward and Ed. Jones, both colored, charged with being disorderly, y V inrn InOLU PROMINENT, PAMLICO CITIZEN , ., is "Wad s,C , ' . f . ! ." '' i, ,t : t-ti "''! i " s , 'j.'TJ - in R. 3.' Hardlson did at his home it Arapahoe Sunday at the age of eighty year9., T.he funeral services were con' ducted "yesterday afternoon and the interment-: made in' the cemetery at Arapahoe. ' TOBACCO TO AID TOE bF THE at Ten Cents a Pound, I apply to drop shipments made for the account ot our customers hut nnlv shipments made direct to stock of the customer. "In carrying out this arrangement, we will, as soon alter Novemln-r I as the accounts can be audited, place an order with each customer lor cotton, in accordance herewith, according to shipments made from September 28 tt October 31, eliminating fractions of bales, so that our order may be in whole bales; and so as soon after Decemler I as possible orders for kales of cotton covering the November shipments on the foregoing brands. "Kach of our customers through whom we place orders will be required to guarantee the grading and to have our purchases stored, and forward to us proper warehouse receipts "All orders subect to acceptance by our New York ollice. No representative or employee of this company has authority to change and circular, letter or price list issued bv this company." This action on the art of the Ameri can Tobacco Company is most com mendable and shows conclusively that they are willing to render anv posille aid to the farmers in the South. Their spirit along this line lias been evidenced right here in New Hern since the open ing of the new Dill Tobacco Warehouse. Mr. Peen savs that about fifty thousand dollars has been paid out here for to bacco during the past three weeks and of this amount the Ameiiian Tobacco Company has paid out ,-ixteen thous and dollars, and in fact are the largest Individual buyers. As to the purchase of cotton in this section, the company will buy just as many pounds of the fleeev staple as there are pounds of their tobacco sold and there ts every reason to believe that much of their brands will be dis posed of as the farmers are firm believers In the old slogan to "help the bridge which carries von over." NEW TOBACCO BUYER IN THE CITY W. Y. Malone, who has been buying tobacco at the local warehouse for l.lggert and Myers Company since the market opened, has beon transferred to another market and S. O. Riley, of Durham has arrived in the citv to take his place.
