Its now Rear Admiral Brad- ham, of course. It matters not how dry the country goes, Tennessee still has "Rye" to contend with. , Representative Dail is at Ral eigh on the job. He has writ ; ten to Chairman Bangert of the Executive Committee that there is a strong movement on foot to put a State-wide stock law through the Legislature, and wishes to notify the people of his county as to what is going on. NEW BERN New Bern is going ahead as fast as any city in Eastern North Carolina. It now boasts of over 15,000 souls, and the wheels of industry are hum ming with unparalleled activity. Its lumber mills are running on full time. Its fertilizer mills are as busy as bees. Its oil mill is working night and day'. The fish. and oyster industry is at its height. earner is employed. The mammoth Pepsi-Cola bus iness is beginning the biggest business of its life. A large addition to the Gas ., ton, Hotel is about ready for oc , cupancy. A new and commodious de partment store is on the eve of opening. The banks are bulging over with money, and a general feel ing of optimism is spreading i, among our people. Nearly $3,000,000.00 of bank deposits now grace the books of our banking institutions. xx new ' veneering piam is about ready to commence oper ations. ' We wish we had the figures at hand to show our own people the yast resources that are at our very doors, but it is enough to know that they are here. We have the richest section in the world and the best people in the world, and we are bound to go ahead. All we need is,grit, grace and a few greenbacks and no power of earth can keep us back.

He has shown that he cares not for the opinions of jealous political rivals or the thoughts of the powers that are clinched in a bloody warfare. He is a fearless,"" positive and capa ble statesman, if not a diplomat as the word is usually inter preted. -; 'J-i '. . t He has again shattered a pre cedent by going before the Sen ate of the United States and laying bare his convictions, and if the world is ever to have an kbiJing and lasting peace, they must accept his way. S In strongest terms, he gave i' s doctrine of Monroe, as a pa ces, for the world's ills, and !i the keen foresightedness " a prophet, he told them that ould work..- V'-'. :i it be tided?

"I am proposing that all na tions henceforth avoid entang ling alliances which would draw them into competitions of pow er, catch them in a net of in trigue and selfish rivalry, and disturb their own affairs with influence intruded from without, There is no entagling alliance in a concert of power. When all unite to act in the same sense and with the same purpose, all act in the common interest and are free to live their own lives under a common protection. "I am proposing government by the consent of the governed; that freedom of the seas which in international conference after conference representatives of the United States have urged with the eloquence of those who are the convinced disciples of liberty; and that moderation of armament which makes of ar mies and navies a power for or der merely, not an instrument of aggression or of selfish vio lence. "These are American princi- pies, American policies. We can stand for no others. And they are also the principles and poli cies of forward looking men and women everywhere, of every modern nation, of every enlight ened community. They are the principles of mankind and must prevail." POINTED VIEWS It would be disheartening to hear it seriously suggested that the Ger man raider is our old friend the Deutschland gone wrong. Washing ton Star. The British General Council of the Bar has overwhelmingly rejected a resolution looking to "the admis3ion of duly qualified women to ,the pro fession." But if English women can not practice law, there seems to be a steady demand for their services in making munitions. New York World, A wise Turk knows that whether Germany or England wins it's the same finish for him in the end. Washington Post. The effort to drive the Old Guard out of the Republican party is, of course, being made by that small band of deluded politicians who have never discovered that the Old Guard is the Republican party. Savannah News. How those German commerce raid ers get by the British blockade seems to be a good deal of 'a mystery, but maybe the British crews were at tea at the time. Indianapolis News. Caminetti-Diggs decision in the Su preme '. Court apparently . legalizes black-mail. Rochester Herald. It is said that President Wilson is better thought of by the 'British now than ever before. ; Give old John Bull time and he will generally see the right. Charleston News and Courier. The German submarine commander who complains of his treatment by the British should remember that he is not exactly a shining light in the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Humans himself.

THE LECTURE PLATMORM An American gentleman got ac quainted with Frenchman who was very anxious to acquire the English language. .The American, in order, to help him, .said that if he would send his exercises to him he would willing ly correct them. :,' . Nothing wag , heard from .the Frenchman for some time, but finally a letter came, couched in the follow ing choice English: . : 1 "In small time I can learn so many English' from his text-book and he; dictionary as I think I will to come at the American and go on the scaf fold to lecture."

OBSERVED By JAY BEE DEE Aaron is married. He is a popular man. He was busy yesterday receiv ing the congratulation of his host of friends, but there is a mistake. It is true that Aaron is married, but it is another Aaron Coplon is his last name. '!Not yet, I will wait until the war news becomes scarce, and there is nothing else to interest me, then I might get married, provided the price of meal tickets comes down and the necessary things of life take a slump. Please congratulate the other fellow. I am not it," this young and capable salesman was heard to remark, and a whole lot more things that the short hand man did not get down. He says when the say is tak en, however, he will let it be known, good and strong. A successful farmer living near New Bern, got next to a crowd of city chaps the other day in one of our local drug stores. He said, among, other things: "You worshippers of Mammon, you dwellers in cities, are used to thinking of farm life as dull and unattractive. But it is not with out its thrills and chances. The only other thing in the world that ap proaches farming in this respect is matrimony, and the farmer usually shows his gameness by going for both. Even the cattle and other farm animals enter into the spirit of the thing. A city visitor was once chas ed across the meadow by a furious bull. After the frightened guest had tumbled across the nearest fence and found himself in safety, he looked back and saw the farmer's daughter laughing at him. 'Why is it,' he ask ed, 'that the bull chased me and never so much as looked at you when you were in the field milking that brown cow over there?' 'He wouldn't dare touch me,' the girl replied; T w milking the bull's mother-in-law.' " HITS FROM SHARP WITS It is beginning to look as if the peace bird is going to have to fight for it. Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer Sun. You cannot clinch an argument with an offer to bet that you are rifrht. Albany Journal. Napoleon said: "Marriage, without doubt, is the perfect social state." But is there such a thing as marriage without doubt?

LISTENING TO GOOD PURPOSE There is a species of sentry groups employed near the trenches. They are called "listening patrols," and their duties are to be always on the alert and give timely warning of any attempted attack. One night an of ficer on his rounds inspected a listen ing patrol stationed' in an empty farm. He asked: VWho are you T" The reply was: "Listening patrol, sir." . i ' .-,-.. i "What are your duties?" "We listen for the hen cacklin', and then we pinches the egg, sir." Tit Bits. r THE LITTLE MATTER A certain captain of industry, com plimented on an immense war con tract, said in New York: , , "One beauty about these contracts is their strict honesty. There are no palmsvto grease. "It wasn't always so in war con tracts. In fact, they tell a story about a war contractor ' who once broke the silence of his club reading room with a dreadful sigh. " 'What's the matter?'"-a brother contractor asked. ;J i; ' " 'Alas, alas!' said the first contrac tor. Tve just bought 6,000,000 pairs of shoes at $1 a pair and sold them to the army for $6 and I'm afraid the loss will ruin me." "'Loss? Loss? said the other com tractor, 'What are you talking about, man? On 5j00,000 pairs of shoes, with a five-dollar profit, how , can there be a loss?'
