4 LET-DoWN FOR THE PRESI-
DENT

Wonder how .ir. Roosevelt will be
able to settle down to the simple life
after the exciting times he is having J n
the Colorado mountains? He will have
% call together 500 after
his return and send in some strenuous
messages on tariff revision II control
of railway rates in order to prevent
too sudden a change from the strenu-
Gus 20 the simple life. Perhaps by
the time be gets back there will be ID
other revolution in Haiti or Santo Do
mingo. or President Castro may have
returned from the interior to Caracas
with another supply of buster. There
should be something Of this sort to let
the president down easy to the bur-
densome life of running the govern
ment in all it's branches and looking
after the affairs OF two or three of our
neighboring republics. Mr.. Taft no
doubt will be willing to give up his
seat on the lid by the time of the
presidents return. He has found tie
task set him not near as exciting as
expected. In fact, he has had quite a
monotonous time. He has not had the
least excitement, nor a single occasion
to menace any one with the big stick
Mr.. Roosevelt left with him to keep
the little South American and West
Indian fellows quiet. AS things have
been so tame we reckon Mr.. Loomis is
glad that this work of sitting still and
doing nothing was not assigned to HIM
in the absence of their chief.

PAUL JONES' BODY

No sooner has Mr.. Porter found the
body of Paul Jones than a contention
springs up as to where it shall be re-
buried. 1t strikes us that the man
who has gone to so much trouble and
spent so much of his own money in
finding the body should have something
to say about this. AS soon as b
French government grants him permits
sion to remove the remains he has the
right to determine what shall be done
with them. The towns claiming the
right of being their final resting place
should at least offer to reimburse Mr..
Porter the money he has spent from
his private purse in the search. 1t will
be remembered that the government
appropriation for conducting the search
was exhausted some time before the
body was found, but Mr.. Porter would
not abandon the undertaking he was So
niuch interested in and kept up the
search at his own expense. Congress
was asked to renew the appropriation
but refused to do so. All the credit
for doing honor at this late day to the
hero of the American navy is due to a
private citizen and he should have the
honor. 1t is too late for the govern
uient to step in now and take from
him the right of disposition of the re-
mans claims on it's generosity and
gratitude when alive and for a cen.
tury neglected his body, buried in an
unknown grave in a foreign land. 1t
is too late nov to attempt to make rep,
aration by SO belated honors to his
memory.

w FISH
Some Rare Aquatic Critters Killed I'm
The Waters Adjacent to New Bern.

The presence of a fish nine feet long
in the Neuse as far from the mouth Of
the river as '.Fishkettle" landing is a
rare occurrence, but a sturgeon of that
length and weighing 400 pounds was
caught in the shad net belonging to
William Morris last Saturday. When
Mr.. Norris and his brother went out
tC take up the seine they found it
weighted down by this monster which
was making desperate efforts to get
away but the fish was quickly dis
patched by a blow on the head with
an axe.
Another aquatic enormity was killed
in Adams Creek last Thursday. Mr.. j.
L. III. Moore shot and killed a crocodile
measuring II feet long and weighing
not less than 400 pounds. He had IA
double barrel shot gun loaded with
buck shot, two charges were fired at
the great saurian at a distance of four
feet and it had as much effect as a
pop gun on an elephant. Armed with
q strong spiked stick the colored mail
with Mr.. Moore struck the animal in a
vulnerable place and the spike entered
the flesh to the depth of two or three
inches by which the man vas able to
hold it. Mr.. Moore then shot it again
at the base of the brain the shot enter
ing the thick hide and killing it. 1t
skinned and the carcass buried
The crocodile was not weighed, but
judging from the size it could not have
been less than 400 or 800 pounds. -
