President Wilson, addressing a crowd of two thousand, mostly farmers, this afternoon, intimated Btrongly that any other course than the one he fol lowed in the Lusitania incident would have drawn the country into war. The President said: "I do not expect tfiis country to get in a war. I know that some gen tlemen object to the way we were kept out of war and are telling how they would have taken another course. I am hopeful that these gen tlemen will not have a chance to make a mess of things." The President declared that more had been done for the farmer in the past ( three years than ever had been before. The President said that ow ing to "systematic neglect by the pre ceding Republican administration, an absolutely free field had been left for the Democrats."

Continuing he said: "I am glad that the campaign is nearly over. I would like to get down to business. Lets sober up and stop in dulging in loose talk. The call time is November 7."

The post office department requires a list of every parcel post package received and dispatched at each office between the first and sixteenth of Oc tober of each year, to be made; also the amount of the receipts for the packages and the cost of handling them.

The receipts for the period shows an in crease of a little over 26 per cent, over the 1915 receipts.

Three shots were fired, each one taking effect, news of the assination spread rapidly throughout 'the capital and caused a great sensation. Comparatively quiet was restored when the identity of the assasin's victim became known. The victim was olie of the most distin guished statesman in the German em pire although he had taken no decisive part in the affairs of the nation, ex cept from a purely domestic matters. The premier was fifty-seven years of age and had been a prominent figure in American public life. "And do you think you can sup port my daughter?" demanded the fond parent. "Sure," replied the young man, confidently. "She has beep sitting on my knee every even ing for about six months." Self-esteem isn't a bad sort of trait.

But the best thing of the evening came when the toast master, Mr. L. I. Moore, opened up the speech-making of the evening. Mr. Moore is always-at home as an after-dinner speaker, and his ability as a toastmaster was cleverly and clearly shown last night. He called on a great many of the guests to speak of their ideas of the tobacco industry in New Bern, and between each response, he gave the assem bled guests something interesting. It would be impossible to give an idea of what ea.chygentleman had to say, but the general theme that all talked upon, was the building of a mammoth tobacco market for New Bern. v Responses were made by the presi dent of the New Bern Tobacco Board of Trade, Mr. John T. Penn, and the vice-president, Mr. Claude M. Flow ers. Others who very pleasingly .ad dressed the guests were Messrs. A. T. Dill, W. L. Lewis, of the wafe- iusemen, J. S.
