things against the other.
Much is being said about this and

BUSY WEEK AT NEW BERN.
Heavy Shipments of Truck-The At
Iantic and North Carolina Doing
a Rushing Business.
Especial to News ana Observer,)


New Bern, n. c., June 13.-The
past week has been one that will be
remembered for some time to come,
as one of the busiest in the history
of our rapidly growing city. over
three hundred carloads of potatoes,
beans. SQUASH, beets and cucumbers
have been handled by the Atlantic &
North Carolina railroad, and the same
amount and more by the steamboat
line.
ON Friday the A. & n. G. had
TO send out q special or thirty cars
of potatoes, and on Saturday three eX-
ira trains making sixty-six cars were
handled between New Bern , ana
C+oldsbOro. The larger firms have
shipped but a small portion of their
CROP. SO the coming weeks shipments
will probably double those OF the
past.
Last week the carpenters all
went on a strike for nine hours work
and ten hours pay. In most or the
cases they carried their point, but
some of the contractors refused to
accede to their demands and employ
ed non-union help.
The best equipped, neatest kept ana
most conveniently arranged or any
shops in the State, was the remark
made by one of the investigating
committee appointed by Goernor Ay-
cock TO examine Nl1e pnySlcai cOlluI-
ton of the Atlantic q North Carolina
railroad. With it's present equipment
of new and thoroughly up-to-date
machinery, so arranged as to facili-
tate the rapid handling of the ma
terial there is no class of work but
can be done in half the time that 1t
required four years ago when the
present management took charge OF
the road. Work at the shops is NOV
ing on smoothly, and, we learned from
Master Mechanic Green, more salts
factorily than at any time since he
took charge The motive power is
all in splendid condition, and the
rolling stock is constantly being i'm
roved by the additions of new cars
Of every kind.
Foreman Avery, of the A. & ~
C. shops who took out the special
truck train on Saturday night, made
the run from GoldsborO to New Bern
sixty miles in one hour and twenty
five minutes stopping twenty min
utes for wood and water thus MAX
ing actual running time sixty miles in

Dear Governor Francis:
cit has been a dear wish of mine to
exhibit myself at the great fair and
get a prize, but circumstances he
yond my control have interfered and
| must remain in Florence. Although
else / used to take them in school
in Missouri half a century ago and l
ought to be able to repeat now, II
/ could have a chance, / used to get
the medal for good spellin~ every
week, and | could have had the medal
for good conduct if there had not SO
much corruption in Missouri in those
days still / got it several times ny
trading medals and giving boot am
willine to give boot now, II, now
ever, these days are forever gone by
in Missouri, and perhaps II is better
so. Nothing ever stays the way It
was, in this changeable world.
although I cannot be at the fair
I am going to be represented tnere
anyway, by a portrait py froi. gem:
Won will find it excellent. Good
Judges say it is better than the origi-
nal. They say it has all the merits
of the original and keeps still, be-
sides. 1t sounds like fiattery, but it
is just true.
Il suppose you will get prize be-
cause YOU have created the most prod
igious and in all ways, the most Won
derful fair the planet has ever seen.
Very well. you have indeed earned it;
and with it the gratitude Of the State
and nation.
Sincerely yours,
