' ' At the head of this coh;ntn will be
found the State Dcno-ratic ticket
':sent otit yesterday by Cbariman T. D.
5'arren. Look' this over. It J? worthy
of consideration. On the list will be
, found the names cf some of the brainiest
j men in the Old North State, men who
Vare true to the principles, of the party
(""and men whom vol- can' U. st to ta'Ue
"' ' care of the Democratic interests.
Jlie News and Observer is a firrr
advocator of the "huy-a-bale" move
ment and is doing everything within
its power to help out the farmers by
getting the business n!c. and manu
facturers to buy cotton at ten cents per
pound. Ibis is indeed creditable on
the part cf the News and Observer and
they deserve much credit for their ef
forts. According to statements by New
Berniar.s who have recently returned
from tbe western part of the State,
making the trip in an automobile, the
worst road they found waF between
New Bern and Kinston and the slowest
time made was along this same road.
Such a condition as this Is not by any
means lndurlve to autolsts and others
wno travel in automobiles, wagons or
other similar vehicles to visit this city.
Judge Peebles has demonstrated the
the fact that he does not want the news
papers to say uncomplimentary things
about him. Monday at Jackson he
placed a fine of five hundred dollars
on two Goldsboro editors for making
remarks about him. What we would
like to know is; Where will the Wayne
. ounty scribes rake up that thousand
dollars? We have never heard of a
: newspaper man having that much
' money in a lifetime. '
The New Bern Chamber of Commerce
:.v has demonstrated its progresslveness by
; joining the movement to agitate the
r "buy-a-bale-of-cotton" plan. The local
organization is one of the livest in the
! 6tateand time and again has shown
..' that it is of real worth to the city. ' '
Over in Virginia the State Board of
, Education: has placed infuse; in the
public schools a new physical geography
which teaches that man Is the offspring
of" brutes and rsavagV .animals. (The
. Presbyterians of that state tare up in
arms against any siich doctrine and well
- might they be,' for it absolutely eontra
, diets the Bible teachings.' Darwin lad
the theory that the human being was a
MKIi
Absolutely Pure
refined animal whose forefathers hopped
about from limb to limb but other
great scientists have cast aside this
theorv of evolution and in fact there is
not or has not been, with the exception
of Darwin, one of these scientific in
vestigators who held to any such belief.
The idea that away back in the dark
ages men resembled monkeys is, we
believe, all bosh and no school child
should be taught any such doctrine.
The farmers down in Pamlico county
have decided to reduce the cotton acre
age next season'. This Is a mighty good
plan. The Journal has all along con
tended that less cotton and more food
stuff be grown on the farms'ln this sec
tlon and the tarmers will sooner or
later find that this Is absolutely true
and if put into effect will prove of great
benefit to them.
Says the Wilmington "Star There is
no tetter evidence tnat Koosevelt or
any other anti-Democrat has no ground
on which to stand than the charee that
he Wilson administration is inefficient
and lacking in abllltv. Of all state
ments absurd, that caps te ' climax.
Wilson and his official family inefficient
and a Congress lacking in ability.
Doesn't that jar you?

Prof. H. B. Craven, superintendent
of the Jtfew Bern public schools, has
just returned from Ridgecrest, N. . C
where he and his-family have been ,
spending the summer. Prof. Craven
made the trip in his Ford touring car
and the actual running time lor the'
distance of 397 miles was twenty-seven
hours. Good roads were encountered
all along the route as far as Kinston,
but after leaving Kinston enroute to
New Bern,1 Prof.' Craven states that he
found the worst thoroughfare encount
ered along the entire route and that ne'
was forced to travel with exceeding
care in order to avoid accidents. This
road is along the proposed . Central
Highway and is supposed to be in .ex
cellent condition, but travellers over
the section report that it one of the
worst roads in the State. ;
