United States Commissioner Charles B. Hill has written a letter to H. M. Lon don, deputy collector ' in'' charge of the Internal Revenue office at Ral eigh;' inquiring about the stafmps, and explaining the situation. Mr. Lon don nas notmed the commissioner that as no one here has the stamps. that those who must use them will be compelled to get them from the Raleigh office, U. S. Deputy Mar shal I.

The contractor who has had iin charge of he work of erecting the new twenty thousand dollar building whieh wul be used., as an addition to the New Bern publio schoolsy-white, has completed his work,' and the architect, Frank Thompson, of Ral eigh, is expected to arrive in the City to-da"y, nd to accept the building, if it is, as desired. If the building is accepted, an there is every" reason to believe that it will he, it will probably be possible for the grades, which are to be located there, to move in some time during the approaching week This building will prove of inesti mable worth to the city. For the past two years the' number of pupils attending the school has increased so rapidly that it has been necessary at times to refuse them admittance to the school, and even now several of the grades are doubled up in the class rooms in the old buildings. The opening up of the new building will make it possible to give these grades ample room, and to furnish room for any new pupils who will en ter between now, and the e nd of the term.

Today will be known as "County Progress Day" in Craven county and appropriate exercises have been pre pared for the occasion.

TALK IS IN THE AIR PROPOSED ADDITION TO SEV ERAL ROADS BEING DISCUSSED. Not-before in many years has there been so much talk of railway exten siou work in this part of the State as there is at present . Chief . among the topics being discussed is the rumored extension of the Norfolk Southern Railway Company's line to Cape Lookout, where the harbor of refuge is to be built. When the contract for the erection of the big sea wall at that pteee has been defi nitely awarded, it will mean that hundreds of carloads of supplies must be carried there, and transportation by rail is said to be the best method. Being the nearest railroad to that point, the' Norfplk Southern Rail road would of oAfirse be the logica! carrier. During the past few weeks the officials of the road, and the officials of several other great carry ingJines, including the Pennsylvania Raijway Company, are known to have paid a visit to that section. Just what they did there or why they went is a matter for the public to speculate upon, and draw their own conclusion. When inter viewed on the subject, they would give out nothing further than state ments tnat they wero looking over the company's property. Many are of the opinion that these visits por tend the construction of a line to the Cape.' Rumors of the extension of the line from Charlotte further South are also believed here to be true, but nothing definite has been given out in regard to the matter from the lo cal office. While the extension of the railroad is being talked a great deal, the extension of the track - running from the former site of the West Box Company to the Eastern Carolina Fair grounds, is also being discussed. The work of extending this track to the Union JPassenger station, a distance of half a mile or more, will begin about January 1st, and the operation of trolley cars to the Fair grounds and Glenburnio Park will begin during the Spring. This work will cause an expenditure of several thousand dollars. ELKS TO PAY TRIBUTE TIT THEIR DEAD ANNUAL MEMORIAL EXERCIS ES TO BE HELD TO- 'v MORROW.

WAS ON THE rRCPERTY OFLEN LAUGH." -VG HOUSE. Supposed Operators Made a Quick Get Away When The Officers Ar. rived. One of the most sensational raids in the history of Craven county took place yesterday afternoon four miles from the little town of Vance boro when United States Deputy Collector I. M. Tull of Kinston and Deputy Marshal Ango and Deputy Sheriffs Bayliss and Oden of this city, swooped down on an illicit distilling plant and found a still with a capacity I or two nunarea gallons. The officers left this city early in the day and proceeded to the homo of Len Laughingthouse whore they were informed the still was in opera tion. Arriving at the scene (hey be gan a search for the plant and quick ly located it. The revenuers at onct started out in search for the operators Going towards Laughiiighouse's hoint they saw his two sons make for tin tall timber. If would have been possi ble for the officers to have shot 1hi fleeing men but they did not want t kill themnd they succeeded in es caping. i no miner oi the bovs was found at home but as there was u warrant lor his arrest, he was not taken into custody. noturning to me still iiie otlicers cut and slashed this into hundre or pieces, poured out all ol the hoer and so disfigured the plant that will bo impossible to ever operate it again. Len Laughinghouse reputed to be a blockader and tact has just hnished serving a six months sentence for illicit distilling The people of the Vanceboro section are anxious to break up the viola tions or the internal Kevenue law in that section and are assisting the officers in every possible way in their work. THREE ARE WOUNDED ALL THIS THE RESULT OF A FIGHT IN TOLEDO, OHIO. Toledo, O., Dec. 4. One Louisville gunman is dead three others hiding in the underworld section of the city, a Toledo man is in a hospital with perhaps fatal wounds, and his wife is neru oy tno ponce as a coroner's witness, as tho result of a shooting which tookjjlace in the residence section last night. The wounded man is Ifarry C. Plummer, until about a year ago a saloon keeper at Louisville, Ky. His wife is said to have fired tho shot which killed the unidentified man. The police theory is that tho shoot ing is the result of an infraction of underworld rules and that the four Louisville men came here to wreak vengeance. J.. A.

Mystery Surrounds Slaying And Authorities Are Determin ed To Ferret It Out If Possible. Atlanta, December 4. (Special) Although Chief of Detectives Xew port Lanford insisted todny that his department will contiiiii" the in vestigation of the death of James P. Callaway, who was shot by V. B. Carhart in the Carharl apartment at No. 8o0 Peachtre( street, develop ments of the day indicate that tho case will shortly be dropped and that tho probe will cease. Members of the Callaway family indicated ihat they are salislied with, the verdict of the Coroner's jury, which exonerated Carhart and ac cepted his story that he thought Callaway was a burglar, anil -Major Frank Callaway, before he left for La (i range to attend his brothers' funeral refused to discuss the case at all. Detectives Put On Case. Chief Lanford detailed Detectives John Starnes and 1'at Campbell on the case, and declared that he had given them instructions to probe the mystery thoroughly. Chief Langford and the two detec tives refused to disclose along what line their investigation would bo con ducted or whether they have yet ob tained any information that might in dicate the killing was not accidental. It is known, however, that (hey are dissatisfied with the finding of tho Coroner's' jury that exonerated Car hart after hearing only three wit nesses. They declare also that they are not satisfied with the explanation or rather the lack of explanation of Callaway's presence in the apartment, of how ho entered, and ofCarharts failure to recognize him before tho shots were fired. Gather New Evidence. Detectives Starnes and Campbell said they expected to confer with Ma jor Frank Callaway, the dead man's brother, during the day, and this con ference is expected largely to deter mine the line along which the detec tives will work. They probably will ask Major Callaway to explain tho remarks he is alleged to have made to a policeman shortly after the shoot ing, which indicated a suspicion that the shooting was accidental. Ma jor Callaway has refused oitruT to af firm or deny the assertion of the po- iceman that he made this remark. Starnes and Campbell were busy today gathering the looso ends of evidence thev obtained in their inves tigation Wednesday. This is a serious matter," said Chief Lanford, "and we are proceed- ng carefully. There are so many mysterious phases to this shooting and so much that has not been ex plained satisfactorily, that wo think there ought to be a thorough investi gation." Puzzling Phases Remain. Tho problem presented by Calla- way's entranco to the Carhart homo, how ho got there and what he was doing there, remain to the police tho most puzzling features of the shoot ing. At the inquest Carhart testi fied that he knew of no way that Calla way could have entered his homo; that all the doors and windows wero locked, he supposed, and showed no signs of) having been tampered with. Detectives Starnes and Campbell it 1 is intimated, will devote a large part of their investigation to solving this mysterious feature of the case. MASSACHUSETTS MAN SUICIDE. ' ;- , Charleston, S.
