Call for State Temperance Convention.

Call for State Temperance
After careful consideration the
Executive Committee of the North
Carolina Anti-Saloon League has
called a Temperance Convention to
meet at Raleigh, July Z, 1908.
This Convention is demanded by
the conditions:
1. We have a vast amount of tenn
perance sentiment in the State, but
it is unorganized. In the process of
organizing it, this Convention is nee
essary.
2. We are about to enter a great
campaign.
3. We must greatly strengthen our
operations.
We cannot cope with the situation
on the present basis. The present
Executive Committee needs enlarge
ment, and those who shall lead our
cause need the support of a Conven-
ton representing the entire Com
monweafth.
The present manager of the cam
paign cannot find time to carry all
his duties. We must put a man in
the field who will give himself wholly
to this work. Until we shall do this,
we cannot reckon ourselves as very
seriously engaging in conflict with
the giant Drink Evil.
The Convention will have for it's
purpose: % The marshalling of the
Temperance forces of u State for
the conflict now so close at hand;
(2) the reorganization of our execu-
tive department; 60 the selection
of one or more field men; (4) the
putting our work upon adequate ba-
sis; 90 the work of forming our
policy.
Now, who should attend this Con
vention?
Every one hat is in earnest in
this great cause. If our Convention
shall fail, it. will be taken as a sign
that interest is not great. Every
county should be represented. Our
prohibition counties owe the cause
in active counties sympathy and sup
port. Besides, many of them need
organization for Acknowledgement
Every incorporated town, and espe,
cially such as are not protected
against saloons and distilleries
should be represented.

it.-Robertson.

Goldsboro Headlight: The rice
birds are playing havoc with both
rice and corn plants in this section.
They are daily increasing in mum
Der and go in droves at their de-
s~tructive work, not needing any
"s~carecrow' placed in their path.
On account of cool nights cotton
in this section is. small, backward
and unhealthy. A warm rain is
much needed, as all vegetation is
suffering. No tobacco is being
transplanted at present for lack of
seasons, except by a few growers
who watered plants after setting;
plants in beds are deteriorating or
becoming overgrown, though tobacco
in fields is doing fairly well.
Prof. Simon Newcomb contributes
the leading article to the May Nc
Clure's, an exceptionally interesting
forecast of "The End of the World"
Though in the form of fiction, Pro-
fessor Newcomb's theory is clearly
the one that in his belief is of all
the most scientifically probable. He
holds that this world-or rather the
life on twill come to an end, as
a result of a collision between our
sun and a dark star. The author
places the date of the disaster 5000
years after the first successful mes
sage to Mars. All the scientific dis
coveries have been made centuries
ago, and the earth has become a
pretty dull place to live in; so dull,
in fact, that for months at a time
the daily papers contain only the an
nouncement hat nothing worth re-
cording has happened. The article
is splendidly illustrated by III. Lanos.

not to let the State stamp such second
marriages with his approval Mr.. Hen

would not denounce this measure.

LIFT THE BLOCKADE
The Foreign, Enjoys Cable
Their Governments.
Urge Prompt Accep'anceo Of Bowen's Last Prop
osition in Order That Blockade May
be Raised.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Jan. 28.-The Italian and
British Ambassadors and the German
Charge d'Affaires, at a joint conference
today agreed to cable their governments
urging a prompt acceptance of Mr.
Bowen's last proposition to enable the
lifting of the Venezuelan blockade at
once. In this cablegram which was sent
at noon, it was suggested that the con-
tion be postponed .JfYiil after the signing
of the preliminary protocol.
Signor Mayer Des Planches, the italian
Ambassador, as the ranking representa-
tive of the allies, called on Mr.. Bowen
this afternoon and informed him of the
dispatch of the joint cablegram to the
powers, and expressed the hope that il
would expedite the arrival of the final
answer
Mr.. Bowen declines to discuss the de-
tails of his plan until the blockade has
been raised. Late this afternoon he gave
out a brief statement of the diplomatic
debt of Venezuelay~ and the methods for
its future adjustment. In round numbers
this debt amounted to something over
$14 600, 900 and consisted of claims which
had been previously adjusted.
Mr.. Bowen's plan provides that thir-
teen per cent of the customs receipts If
all the Venezuelan ports shall go toward
the payment of this debt.
From the highest authority it was
learned tonight that the publication by
the London Foreign Office of the fact
that Great Britain and not Germany
sought the alliance against Venezuela
was brought about by representations
from the German Foreign Office 1t is
said that Germany had threatened to
publish the diplomatic exchanges between
the German and British Foreign Offices
unless Great Britain Immediately should
cred the responsibility for the alliance.
This threat was induced by the anti
German feeling aroused in the United
States by events in Venezuelan waters.

ERgCIING STATION AT HATTERas.
The De Forest Wireless Telegraph Company
Begins the Work.
Especial to News and Observer.)

Especial to News and Observer)
Beaufort, N. c., Jan. 2S-A station is
being erected at Cape Hatteras by the
American De Forest Wireless Telegraph
Company. G.. H. Barbour, executive en-
gineer, left here this morning for that
point with a cargo of building material
and the work is to be pushed to an early
completion. The tower is to be 200 feet
high
The station is to be used for ship busi-
ness and is one of a number of stations
along the Atlantic seacoast that are being
established by this company which is
the strongest rival the Marconi system
has. The De Forest people have stations
at Black Island, six stations in and
around New York and have underway
stations at this oint, Key West. Ha-
vana, San Juan, Bermuda. Tests recent
ly given by this company before the ma
val board were highly satisfactory and
following in the work of the recent pur-
chases by the different departments of
the government speak volumes for the
merit Of the system. Advantages contend
ed for the De Forest system. Powers
sending devise, automatic receivers con-
tinues working, high speed having a max
imum of fifty eight words per minute.
The system included sending, receiver,
call and tuning devices, the latter insur-
ing secrecy of messages. Hatetras is the
key to the shipping world and is the most
dangerous point on the coast. This sta
tion will be most advantageously located
near the coast.
