One hundred thousand bales of cot ton lasted the Lancashire mills for a year In 1800. Now the same amount would teed their spindles for a day and a quarter. The llghthause at Cape Kallakra, on the European coast of the Blnck sea, was destroyed by the earthquake on , March 81. Steps have been taken for the provision of a temporary light. A doctor has written to the London Times suggesting the running of motor cars at a speed fully up to the legal limit as a means of administering the open ah treatment townsumptlves. All southern California cities look forward to be supplied with electric power from Kern river, where at first 15,000 and later 45,000 horsepower will be obtained from an eight hundred foot f all. A large number of cuttlefish have recently been caught off the north coast of Germany. As they have never before been met with In these waters, r it is difficult to account for their pres ence. The number of male physicians In Bussla Is 14,784.

A Homily Written For the En couragement and Strength - enlng ol New Tear Resolutions. Beloved, we stand upon the thres hold of the New Year. Letna look not back mournfully on the old year: whatever it may hold is be hind w. if personal shortcomings. and even greivons misdeeds, let them also be behind as, and let ns greet the "new face at the door" on the morrow gladly with high re solves and with a spirit strong to bear and determined to persevere, There la hiitorr In til men's Uvei, Figuring tb. ntiar. of th timet deeeM'd: Tb which obnrr'd, 1 man wt prophMT. With ft mr 1pi, ol th main ohano. ol Utlags At yel n.t com. to life; which Is their seeds, iod wei beginnings, He lDtreftiartd We may foresee with reasonable certainty the result of any deed of our own, any act of personal con duct, any speech of real import ut tered in calmness or in the heat of passion. We are constantly aware that any good and unselfish act will bring spiritual comfort in its most gratify ing measure. Chaity will bring charity, benev olence will brighten the soul with sunshine, love and friendship beget le ve and friendship! constancy cre ates its own quality, faith to faith gives birth, laughter ripples unto laughter; joy bursts into newer joy; and all these graces of heart and mind cause our world to tin? with the wedding bells of truth and mercy. Observation will teaoh these bless ed realities to every one who looks with eyes open to the reception of the real, while happy experience of it all rladdens the hearts of vast multitudes who abandon themselves to the better and nobler admonitions -f Vmiv,BTiity'B better and noblerim- man heart. Likewise, all men and women, and most children, know with the utmost certainty that the transgressors way is forever hard; that shame follows sin; that pain comes swiftly upon in discretion; that bitterness comes of wrong doing; that remorse stalks behind falshood, and the pangs of grief are born of affronting error; that shapes of terror created of last night's lie, lived or spoken, are' re vealed by the day's troubled dawn ing; that an army of devils, physical and mental, are grimly attendant upon physical and mental debauch ery, day and night in hideous de formity revolting and appalling. Human experience and divine in junction unite in burning into our souls knowledge of these certain penalties of transgression agairst the laws of man's existence and man's God. Thus may we prophesy concern ing ourselves and concerning others, and thus may we avoid errors con demned from the beginning, the while seeking by example and pre cept to warn others away from temptations that lead inevitably to despair and death. Behold, you shall prophesy with a near aim of the main chance of things as yet not come to life! Wo man or man, maiden or youth, how ever or whoever you be, you shall read the stars of your own destiny, leaving to God the things not clear ly discernible and leaving to Him the final measure of reward. WhoBolive according to the la the law of human evperience and di vine command, may not lay op store of anxiety or find shapes of evil in any shadowy place. Every mortal noVonly owes God a death, but a life also, and life is of more import ance, sinoe if it be well lived it shall pais,ia God'i good time,fco the slum ber ttr, is bliss, . If jou wish love, the great and godlike love of your fellowman, love will come to yon trailing clouds of glory that will brighten and bless all your afierwhiles, Love will come singing songs of such melody as must fill all 'your world with sweetness; gladness and joy, ringing in glee through every hour of your waking and murmuring with the tender: cadence of a babyV lullaby as sung by angels while you sleep; rinng and falling and glad dening to your heart-beats; soothing when you are calm in peace and rio tous In splendid harmony when you yon have done a worthy action in secret, and it will come proudly ca reering upon the blasts of the an. nounrog heralds when in the fore front vi humanity's conflict against wrong you have borne yourself nobly as a captain in the ranks of right Love will grow for you, quietly by night and in the sunlight, gently nurtured in the heart of your f enow- man aa he observes your faithful and unpretentious discharge of duty to the world as duty presents itself; and by and by there will come time when that spirit, so quietly grown, so gently nurtured, will burst into the mighty music of mankind's cheering acclaim. For good character is not builded in a day, though character for evil may in a moment be established for a lifetime. The structure of good character is erected Blowly, in many an instance pain ully because of hu man weakness; and the materials, though fashioned by our own hands according to our own hearts, must be passed upon by our f llow build er, and be approved by our master of the great human family around and about us. Yet when builded, one false step may send all our work toppling about our shame-bowed heads. "Theie is a history in all men's lives figuring the nature of the times deceas'd." The history of man, a life that is now beautiful would not be pleasing to Btudy; for grave sin is forever re pulsive in its reality, however fairs form it may bear to outward seem ing. i'Plate sin in gold, and the strong lance of justice hurtless breaks. Arm it in rags, and a pigmy's straw doth pierce it." Yet the higher justice, the justice that abides in the hearts of good women and good men; that holds sway in the judgment seat of moral integrity such juBtioe is powerful to punish, whatever be said of con e'cl cortirofinan's -govern ment, and the strong lance of such justioe never hurtless breaks against any armor of gold or other material of man's cupidtiy. And there was never yet a sin that remained unpunished in this life, and never one that did not leave its brand upon whosoever committed it, a brand deep somewhere graven. Yet freedom from the spiritual burden of every sin, great or small. however or by whomsoever commit ted, awaits the asking. There are varying degrees of Binning, from the polibhed falsehood and hollow dis -sembling and deceit of society down ward to dark crime; but there is freedom from all, save only the final sin of not ssking for that freedom. She had offended grievously indeed to whom the Master said: "Neither I condemn thee;" but instantly fol lowed the injunction to sin no morel Every one of you may this day prophesy with reasonable certainty concerning your own afterwhiles. The life of each of you shall be as you make it bright or shadowy, merry or morose, happy or unhappy. If you wish happiness, love one another, love your fellowman. By that gentle means and that alone shall you obtain love, and by love alone shall you obtain happiness. Behold the gate leading into gar dens of glorious flowers, of gladness, laughter, joy if your good resolu tions for the New Year be ainoerel Behold "the new face at the doorl" May it usher into every home in Goldsboro greater prosperity and happiness. May it be to every reader of the Abacs a happy New Year. Nat coal at W. H Griffin's coal and Wood yard. Phone 47. This Will Interest Many.

EMPTY BOTTLE FOUND. "T" Was This Bottle Dropped ou Hirer Bankjby Wilcox? E Eibeth OitylN, 0., Dee. 80, Prosecutor Ward said to-day: "You can state (ha there will oe enough evidence before the grand jury next March to seoure an indictment This is a bard case, do stone wui be left unt turned. There ! la some verv damaging testimonv whlnh 1 ha. - Here would insure his convic tion, but there is doubt as to its admissibility." The latest new evidence Is an empty whiskey bottle found near the river bank In front of tbe Cropsej home. J A local saloon man has identic Id tha hnt tin aa having been gad by him, and declares that or one like it was gotten by Wilcox. The strongest alleged evidence against Wiloox is : that he was seen struggling vith Miss drop ey in;" front"-ti r borne in an efforts? duj I... ; the river. It Is also claimed that Wilcox can not account for ail his time that night nor why he chose an un usual route to reach home. A part of tbe Citizens' Committee believes it has a strong State's case. A soldier says that when Wil cox's sister visited tbe jail tbe prisoner said it was no place for her, and on ber asking what she might do for him, she was tcid to bring a quart of whiskey. The confinement Is already telling on Wilcox and It is bus lieved his stoicism will vanish before the trial next serine. Lawyer Aydlettsays Wilcox may make another public statement soon. He says many untrue re ports bave been circulated against his client. There are some E'Isabetb City people who believe tbe Wilcox family is now a more fitting ob ject of sympathy than the Crop seys. Lawyer Cropsey on tbe funeral train discussed the case freely. As to Wilcox's alleged struggle with Miss Cropsey, the corres pondent of tbe New York Jour oal say 8: "Another witness who may be called upon to testify is R. F Parker. He told his wife the night after Miss Cropsey disap peared that he bad seen Wiloox dragging a girl across the road in front of the Cropsey borne. It is said he now denies this. The committee will examine him un this point soon." HOW ABE YOTJK EY ES? Dr. W.

Thurston bave at loclated themselves lor the pr ac tio of the law and wiltoocupy the law office of Mr. Stephen W. Isler, opposite the court hoase. While tbe firm will be a new one, yet one member of tbe firm, Mayor Hood, Is not new to the profession, he having been a member of the Goldsboro Bar for several yean and having' prac tised bis profession regularly be fore being elected Mayor of Goldsboro. Mr, Thurston, the other mem ber of the firm, graduated In the law with distinction from Wk Forest in 1808 and passed a suc cessful examination the same year. Since that time he has not been actively engaged in the practise - ol, hla, ptofitateittst has been in the employ of the Southern Railway, sd for the last few months has been filling tbe position of csbler " at the freight office of the Southern in this city.
