C. AROUND AND ABOUT. The annual custom of egg pegging, is now the street amusement. The delightful weather on last Sunday brought out large congregations, all 1 the churches being largely attended. Moses Bryan, an old and highly respected colored citizen, died Sunday and was buried from St.

Peters church yesterday. The tram engine, used by Blades Lumber Co. on their line near Pollocksville, was brought to this city on a flat, to be repaired by Willis end McIntosh. Arrivals of shad in this market continue very light. Some of the shad fishermen owing to light business, have given up their nets to take up farm work.

The congregation of Centenary M. E. church was favored with a fine solo Sunday night, the selection being "The Palms," and was most enjoyably sung by New Bern's basso, Mr. J. W.

Watson. An alarm from box 54 Sunday night carried the department to a small blaze in a house on Kilmonark. St. It was easily extinguished without damages of any consequence. The constant ringing of the Five Points bell brought a big crowd out.

The JOURNAL had a phone communi. cation, yesterday, from Henderson, which was as clear as if it had come from the Central office in this city. The Hen derson Telephone Go. has a splendid long distance telephone system, as all who use it, bear witness. There were two colored baptisms Sunday, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

The one in the afternoon was conducted by John Johnson, and a conservative estimate places the number in attendance at 500. The Elder, as he is familiarly known, says he will be busy for the next three Sunday's baptizing his converts. Surgeon's Knife Not Needed. Surgery is no longer necessary to cure piles. De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve cures such cases at once, removing the necessity for dangerous, painful and expensive operations.

For scalds, cuts, burns, wounds, bruises, sores and skin diseases it is unequalled. Beware of counterfeits. F. S. Duffy.

Fake Fit Thrower. The New York police arrested a professional "fake fit thrower" the other day. It was his practice to fall down on the sidewalk in front of a fine private residence and pretend to have a fit whereupon he would usually be carried into the house, dosed with restoratives and presented money by the sympathetic proprietor after reciting a hard luck story. By this means he sometimes made as much as $18 or $20 a day. Claimed as Hoodooed.

In "Captains Courageous" Kipling mentioned by name about twenty vessels of the fishing fleet at Gloucester. Since the publication of the volume every one of the twenty has gone down, and the fishing folks say that the vessels were hoodooed. The last of the ill fated boats--the Amy Knight and the Prince Lebo were sunk in the recent big storm. Salvation Oil the Best Liniment. Price, 15 cts; large bottle 25 cts.

'Masticate Everything Thoroughly, but Swallow Little. "The stomach is a most willing ant," says Arthur Henry In Ainslee's. "It really loves its master and frequently performs such labors as none but a slave would endure. Horace Fletcher has recently evolved a theory, founded upon thousands of experiments, which maintains that of the necessary requirements the matter of chewing will alone suffice. According to him, man has been given the sense of taste to guide him in his eating and to maintain a just relationship between his food and his stomach.

So long a8 there is any taste, he says, the food should remain in the mouth. That which remains when there is no longer any taste should be rejected as unfit. "By this method the taste is satisfled when the necessary amount of food has been sent to the stomach, and therefore It is impossible to overcrowd the stomach. By this method also only that portion of food which is nourishing gets past the taste into the system, and the taste, being once thoroughly, satisfied, does not call for the proper time. This unconsciously regulates the hours of meals.

"As it is now, food is ordinarily rushed into the stomach half chewed, waste and all, filling it with rubbish until it is overloaded, before the taste is satisfied. Then the hardworking stomach Ands that it has twice as much labor before it as It would have if the food had been properly chewed, besides baving so much waste material that it will get but half the nourishment necessary for the system. In so far Mr. Fletcher's theory is absolutely incontrovertible. "He further maintains that even food which contains poisons and injurious substances, if chewed until it disappears involuntarily without a conscious act of swallowing, is rendered harmless and if it contains anything pleasing to the taste becomes to some degree good food.

"There is no doubt that the entire theory of Mr. Fletcher could be substantiated were the taste of man normal, but it has been proved that man's taste is not normal. There has been a gradual extinction of instinct progressing among the civilized branches of the buman race. Instinct is the means by which animals are warned of danger. Most of the wilder kinds know what to eat and what to avoid.

The Indian is only a little less protected by his instincts. But civilized man bas cultivated perverse and unnatural appetites for so long that the natural protective instincts can no longer be trusted. Even savages led to adopt the habits of civilization degenerate, and this is probably one of the causes of their extinction." Eight Miles From the Moon. A telescope is now promised which shall bring the moon within eight miles of the earth instead of forty miles. Then, It is belleved, it will be possible to conclusively determine whether atmosphere or life exists on it.

The plans for a great new instrument more perfect than any now in existence have been formulated by Thomas Preston Brooke of England. Mr. Brooke is a musician and a band leader who has devoted his leisure to astronomy. He is at present busy getting estimates of the cost of his telescope. The lens alone will come to about $10,000.

The tubing he hopes to have contributed by some manufacturer, and some public benefactor, It is thought, can be induced to build a suitable observatory for housing the instrument. It is the intention not to give it to any institution, but to have it available for the public, where students and laymen alike may use it. "Genuine Bay Rum." The National Druggist does not circulate among the public; therefore its exposure of the bay rum fraud has not reached the consumer of that article. The editor found a great lot of it oftered for sale at 10 cents for a. half pint bottle and forthwith investigated.

To manufacture genuine bay rum by wholesale costs 10 cents a half pint bottle. Purchasing a bottle of the ten cent "genuine" article, he submitted it to an examination, which developed, in the first place, that the bottle held only six ounces instead of eight, not over 3 to 5 per cent of alcohol, essential oils kept in solution by aid of an alkali and such other Ingredients as brought the cost up to $1.50 a gallon, containers included. This stuff, sold at 10 cents for six ounces, affords profit of nearly 3 cents a bottle. Our Buffaloes. The interior department has under consideration the advisability of starting a new herd of buffaloes in the Yellowstone National park by buying some and catching all the young butfaloes that can be found and placing them in the reservation.

Marriage A La Base Bali. Unusual humor, states Baltimore dispatch, was displayed by the Rev. C. F. Thomas in his remarks before the marriage ceremony of the well known base bell player, John J.

About 8 year ago, Craven county adopted the road law, as passed the last Legislature, which virtually puts the roads under the supervision of three road trustees of each township, elected by the Magistrates of said township. Now gentlemen, from what I have seen, and from what I hear almost daily--our roads are being very much almost impassable in some places, in fact not worked at all in certain localities. Your attention is called to chapter 50 of the laws of N.

C. session of 1901, which will explain to you your duties as road trustees; and after carefully reading the same, if you desire further information, I refer you to the Board of Com missioners, which you are aware meets the first Monday in each and every month.

The damage to truck by the freeze WAS. only slight 80 far as we have learned. Corn planting will begin this week. Some have their land ready for the grain, others are getting ready. The acreage will be some larger this year than it was last, as there is continually being new land cleared every year.

This year while times have been hard, the progress of clearing has continued good 88 usual and ditching has increased several per cent. Last year our people saw the need of good ditches which has increased the work along that line this spring. Mr. Ervin Davis and Mr. Hancock of Smyrna, N.
