BIG CATCH OF MCILETS

4 900 punches Caught i'm Seines.

A big haul of mullets was made yes
terday on Moores Beach, which is to
the northward of Wrightsville Beach,
by Mr.. J. T. Kennedy and his crew.
They left shore about o'clock in the
morning and cast their seines in the
sea. When the nets were hauled in
later in the day a tremendous eaten
was seen to have been made, the fish
being piled in great masses on the
shore. It is estimated that at least
1000 punches will be made up from
the mass of fish.
Mr.. Kennedy disposed of the fish to
Nixon and Taylor of this city and
they sent down a special car on the
suburban line last night to bring the
fish to town. The car was loaded at
the Hammocks and it arrived here

MAY CLOSE SALOON
ssued Order Yesterday That the Place
be Closed-Later Reconsidered and
WIN Leave Question With Board OF
Aldermen at Their Meeting Tonight.
Action Grows Out OF Fight Which
is Alleged to Have Started In the Ss-
loon on Saturday Night.

Following the trial OF Messrs- E. B.
Campbell and Ed Russ In the mayor
court yesterday. on charges growing
out Of q personal encounter between
these two which occurred on Saturday
night near Starkey's saloon on North
Front street, the trouble being alleged
to have started in that saloon, Mayor
Springer yesterday ordered the license
of that bar revoked and in the mean
time he instructed Chief Of Police viii
liams to close the place. In taking tGis
action the mayor declared that Star
keys place was a menace to the city
and he was anxious to eradicate what
he considered great evil
Later in the day the mayor decided
that he had acted hastily in the matter
and he rescinded the order, but he ad-
dressed a letter to Mr. NJ L. Starkey,
proprietor Of the saloon in question,
informing him that at the meeting Of
the board of aldermen to be held to-
night he would Recommend to tie
aldermen that the license for the sa-
loon be revoked and that it be closed.
In the letter the mayor invited Mr.
Starkey to appear before the board. IL
he so desired, in his own behalf
This question will be one of the most
interesting matters to be considered by
the aldermen at their meeting tonight
and the discussion which is likely to
ensue will probably attract large at
tendance of citizens at the meeting.
Starkey's saloon is one of the largest
in the city and it occupies one of the
most desirable locations in the business
district, being on Front street next
to the postofice and directly in front
of the Orton hotel. With the big pool
room run in connection with the sa>
loon, the business represents quite an
investment and naturally Mr.. Starkey
will make a struggle to have his license
continue in effect He will accept the
mayors invitation to be present at the
aldermanic meeting and he will prob
ably be represented by several leading
awyers in the city. The decisOn of the
city fathers will be awaited with in
terest.

us LIFE WORTH LIVING?"

An Editorial Which is q Better Sermon
Than Many Delivered From the
Pulpit.
Amid the SORROWS and the sighs, the
heartaches and disappointments, and
the misery and woe of the world, many
people are prone to ask themselves,
after all, is life worth living?
And that is where great mistake
is made. That question should never
be allowed to reach the point Of dis
cussion. We should turn from it as
we would shun evil, and in far diff
ferent spirit earnestly ponder over the
worth of living
SelfishneSS narrOwS our minds and
dwarfs our souls. We become despon-
dent and grow tired because all that
we crave does not come to Us and
abide with us, simply because We crave
it. That is the surest road TO misery.
Living with such a view fOrcse one
cheerless and cold. 1t does not invite
sympathy or love. A struggle to get
away from such life brings help to
abandon that which is pulseless and
dead
To realize that life is worth living is
to know and practice the worth of liv-
ing. Its true value lies in helping
others, not depending always on others
helping you. A word of whispered
cheer and hope for the weak and fall
tering, charity for the morally frail
and erring ones, sympathy and love
for the despondent and sorrowful. Life
is worth living TO the man of whom
at the end of the journey, it may be
truthfully said: He lived to bless
mankind. He found and knew the
worth of living. If the world is ever
dark, it is dark with such a man be-
meath the sod.
Life is worth living for the oppor-
tunity it gives for doing good, for
smoothing the rough pathway Of the
weary and heavy-laden, for recogniz-
ing the brotherhood OF man and prac-
tising it in our daily intercourse In
social and business life. Turn from
gloomy and moody selfshness, and get
out where there is light and love and
cheer, and blessings will fooly sure
ly as the earth is refreshed and clean
and sweet after the storm and rain has
passed-New Bern Sun.

War With JapaH.

That the United States and Japan
are likely to fight, and that soon, is
the prediction of Mr.. Menstrikoff, a
former Russian naval officer He says
that both are brimming with the war
spirit, both were victorious in the last
two wars they fought, both want to
control the Pacific, and Japan is going
to try to win the mastery before our
folks dig the Panama canal.
Furthermore, the Russian war proph-
ct maintains, Japan has a great up-to-
date standing army and the United
States have not and therefore we would
stand poor chance of victory.-Char-

TRIAL OF RUSS AND CAMPBELL
Two Young White Men Fined $25 and
Costs for an ARRAY and Latter
Bo,s-d Over for Assault With Dead
Iy Weapon

A large crowd was attracted to ahe
mayors court yesterday on account OF
the trial of Messrs, Ed Russ and E. B.
Campbell, two well known young
white men of this city. who were ar
rested late Saturday night following :
lively fight between these two which
occurred on North Front street next to
Starkey's saloon, and in which Russ re-
ceived quite a severe cash on the LETT
forearm, which was inflicted by Camp
bell
Campbell was tried on two charges,
one being assault with deadly weapon
and the other being for an ARRAY. On
the first charge the defendant was
bound over to the term Of superior
court which meets the latter part of
this month, under a justified bond OF
$50 On the Latter charge the mayor
taxed Campbell with fine of $25 and
the costs Later he paid the fine and
furnished the bond and was released
On the charge Of an affray, which
had been sworn out against Russ he
was fined s25 and the costs, and ne
paid the amount which he was taxed
and was released.
In giving the sentences named above
Mayor Springer said his inclination
was to send both men to the roads for
80 days, but he did not think Russ, in
is present condition could stand the
work and Campbell had sworn that
he had employment at the railroad.
so he would administer the fine in
stead.
Among the other cases disposed of
were those against James Kapat and
Isabel Fowler for disorderly conduct,
and Jane Howard for being drunk and
disorderly. The mayor sentenced the
women to the county farm for 80 days
and Kapat was sent to the county
roads for the same length of time.
