Closing words. AN OLD CITIZEN GONE. The death of one of Goldsboro's oldest citizens, both in years and duration of residence, occurred at 1 his home on East Centre street V; last Saturday at 12.20 o'clock Mr. J as. Or. Smith, of paralysis aged 78 years, 9 months and 22 days. He was an Englishman by birth, but came to Goldsboro in the earliest- years of the town, and was always a quiet, unosten tatious citizen. He leaves a wife and five sons, all grown and with families, to mourn his demise. A Horrible Affair! Winston, N. C, Nov. 22. The particulars of a shocking affair whicn occurred, a lew nignts ago in the mountain section of Stokes V3 county were brought here this morning. Thomas Mabe was running a brady distillery and when he went to "a duuble" and filled a 140 gallon kettle with sinelings and backings it com menced boiling over, ran down, tock fire as quick as powder and caught the sull. The cap was blown ott ana tne Duuam" was soon filled with flames. The own er was standing near the still where his two sous lay asleep on the floor. The burning liquid ran over the boys. The father and his sons made a rush for the door but it was locked and by ' the time they succeeded in open ing it the three men were burned so badly that they will die. J he . house and its contents, including beveral hogs-heads of fruit, were surned. IN MEM01UAM. The cradle is empty That mother's hand rocked of yore; God, in His infinite wisdom. Called baby to the celestial shore. U he pale messenger of Death visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. xtuius &mitn, in tnis city, on JNovember 9th, and removed therefrom to the brighter world beyond, their infant daughter, Bertha Olivia, aged 2 months and 2 days. Weep not, fond parents, for while there is an aching void in your hearts that cannot be erased by time, yet the child is happier in its new-found home She has gone to help make up the jew- elsthat constitute the heavenly throng. God, in His all-wise providence, has ordained that the little darling should remain no longer here in this world of sorrows to drink of the bitter ness of its fruits, as you have done, but should bu transferred in her infancy to a home of eter nal rest, andswhereyou, like her, if your walks in this life shall be with God, can enjoy the r;ch blessings to which she has teen called in advance. Notje but God knew the suffering the little one bore no earthly hand could administer th balm of relief: God only could relieve the pain, and lie called the little one unto Himself. How sweet to know that when we shall "fall on sleep" we will meet on the ether shore the com panions ot our youth and the tender, loving friends of our de clining years, but happier till must be the knowledge that there shall be waiting at the heavenly gates to welcome us, the child of our bosom. There shall be no parting there, but we shall live on through eternity in a state of ecstacy that knows no descrip tion. Who would not part for a little while here below with the most cherished of little darlings the soul comfort of our tire sides, the very joy and inspira tion of our lives and bow in humble submission, when we re member the words of Him who died to save us all: "Suffer little children and forbid tbem not to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven." Chas. A. Brown. Goldsboro, N. C, Nov. 22, '59. THE OUTLOOK. As the Baltimore Manufactur er's Record saj-s, the develop ment of the. West is to be far more than duplicated in the South. Here nature has given a combination of advantages no where else equaled on the face of the globe. Here are found coal, timber, iron, cotton the founda tion of nearly all manufacturiug wealth and nowhere else are these four found in the same re gion. The wealth of New Jingland and Great Britain, created out of cotton manufacturing: the wealth of Pennsylvania, made cut of coal and iron, and the wealth of the Northwest, made from lum ber, are all to be duplicated and concentrated in the South. Add to this, possibilities in agricul ture that guarantee that this sec tion can produce out of the soil more than the farm interests of the entire country now yield; that this favored climate will be worth millions in annual incre ment of wealth because of the thousands and soon to be hun - dreds of thousands who seek the South in winter for health and pleasure, and we can pos sibly form some idea of what will be seen during the next quarter of a century. The whole trend of population is now Southward. Thousands of Northern and Western farmers are moving this way. The West has for the time be ing been over-populated; econo mic changes beyond the control of man are forcing manufactur ing interests to the raw mater ial: the South is the most invit ing field in the world to the agri culturist, and it has the raw ma terials for industrial pursuits in greater abundance and more cheaply utilized than any other equal area on earth. All these things are uniting to inaugurate a change in the South, which will be world wide in its effect. What are you doing to at tract the development to Goldsboro 'and this delightful ahd fertile section? Are you at work, or are you a drone: may well be asked of every man in this city and vicinity. What is your answer? Boston, Nov. 21. The Ameri can board this afternoon, by the way of fhilipopolis, Bulgaria, received a cablegram saying that the missionaries and friends at Mar so van are safe.

CALVERT VAUX DROWNED Tlie 15ody of the l'amons Landscape Archi tect. Jb'ouml in New York .Bay. New Yoik. Nov. 21. The body of Calvert Vaux, the famous landscape architect, who mysteriously disappeared on Tuesday from l is son's home at Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. was found this morning floating in the bay at the foot of Bay Sev enteenth street, Bensonhurst, by Francis D. Fry, who saw the body floating in the water and dragged it ashore. The body was dressed in the same clothes as when Mr. Vaux left home, except that the hat was gone and the shoe from the left foot was missing. No marks of violence could be discovered in a hasty examina tion of the body, and it is sup posed that Mr. Vaux wandered down to the shore and was acci dentally drowned. He was in t.he habit of walking on the beach and sometimes sat down to rest on the piers that extend at sev eral points oyer the water. It is thought that in his weak state on Tuesday he was seized with a fainting spell and fell off into the water. A Million a Month. Chicago, Nov. 21. The Times- Herald today devote-two columns to a carefully prepared report on Cripple Creek and the gold Melds of Colorado. It says in part:, "A million a mouth. This is the precious product of Cripple Creek district, big as it seems, is inside rather than beyond the monthly gold output, a conser vative rather than a liberal statement. The shipment for October were 14,800 tons of smelting ore of an averag e value of 65, and 6,000 tons of milling ore ranging from 8 to 35 per ton, with an average of 15. The total value of high grade ores for October was $902,000, and of the low grade ores $102,000. The erand total of the product readies $1,064,000. The No vember product will show an in crease. "For the first fifteen davs of November the shipments of high grade ore to the smelters have averaged 350 tons daily over the Colorado Midland and 250 daily over the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad. These ores held up to the October average of $65 per ton and returned to the shippers in fcross eooa.UOO. Tne low- grade ores averaged higher. Figuring freights, milling fees and mining, the extraction of r r i"i 1 1 -fv-rv Sift cm; i m - 1 n o l-.c-o . p uiy iulu w A lx y , tx 1-1 o at -1 V O 1 $3 to $6 per ton to the producer. JNovember s low grade ore has averaged $20 to the ton. "Of this class 265 tons daily have been moved, making for the first half of the month a value of $159,000. If the tonnage con tinues for the remainer of the month the gross product will be $1,329,000. The original discovery of gold in Cripple Creek, or, perhaps. the discoveries which led to the present development, would fit the case better were made in 1890. The Creek country was then known as Pisgah Park, an- was regarded as fitted for stocks raising purposes only. It is as serted by the miners that this country 'containing twenty-four square miles, holds more riches than any other region of the world. There is some basis for this assertion. Of the many claims staked out, hundreds are held by the assessment work only. The owners lack funds to develop or hold their claims for speculative purposes. "It is probuble that fewer than 100 mines are the regular shippers of ore, and perhaps half the number are dividend payers. One may count on his fingers the companies and pri vate awners whose shafts and tunnels are deeper than 200 feet. The production thus far has been wholly superficial and incidental only to the search for the prin ciple vein. As to the work on the leads progresses tLe ore bes comes richer. The value, is al most susceptible of exact calcu lation wnen the original assay at the surface and the depth ot the shaft are known. Harrison's Daily Levees. New York, Noy. 21. Senator Sherman left for Washington to day. There was considerable talk among the politicians gath ered at the Fifth Avenue Hotel concerning the Senator's state ment in his book regarding the attitude of the New York delega tion atthe convention of 1888. Ex-President Harrison is still holding his daily levees in his room in the Fifth Avenne Ho tel. Ex-Secretary Noble, Cor nelius N. Bliss and SxMinister Charles Emory Smith, of Phila delphia, were the most conspio uous of his many callers. General Harrison hopes to finish his visit by to-morrow, when he will take a train foi Saratoga, where he will spend a day or two " with ".Little Ben" McKee, who is now fully recov ered from his recent illness. Gen, Alger's Denial. Detroit, Mich, Nov. 21. Gen. R. A.Alger has written a lengthy letter to t he Tribune in reply to Senator John Sherman's charges against the General's friends, as contained in the second volume of Sherman's recollections. The writer quotes Senator Sherman's language in which Sherman, in referring to the cir cumstances attending the con test in the Republican National Convention of 1888, wrote: "I believe, and had, as I thought, conclusive proof that the friends of General Alger substantially purchased the votes of many of the delegates from the Southern States, who had not been in structed by their conventions to vote for me." In answer to the charge, Gen. Alger says: "No delegate or friend who went to Chicago in my behalf or voted for me at the convention ever asked for or re ceived a single pledge from me for money or for auy office." General Alger relates instances of the friendship between himself and the Senator of late years and of insurances given him by Sher man that while his disappoint ment had been great, he did not believe that Alger had any part in the scramble for votes, etc., in 1888. Alger also quotes an autograph letter written hitn by Senator Sherman in 1892, in which the latter reasserts. T cher ish no prejudice or unkindness for the incident of the National Convention of 1888." locs it Mean Uusiness? Mr. John R. Bartlett, presi dent of the Nicaraguan Canal Co., and Hon. Smith M. Weed,of the same company, sailed from New York for Europe on Wed nesday, in response to cables from parties in Loudon in regard to pending financial negotiations. It will be remembered that C. P. Treat, a Chicago contractor, who built the railroad for the canal company, wrote the Alanvw facturers' Record last winter that after thorough personal in vestigation of the route of the Nicaraguan Canal, he wou'd be willing to contract to build it for the amount estimated as its cost by the canal company's engin eers. Mr. Treat was then in London, and the supposition was that he was having some nego tiations with English capitalists looking to securing the money for building the canal. About ten days ago Mr. Treat left Chicago for London, and it is rumored that his visit is about canal matters. This, in connec tion with the sailing of Mr. Bart lett and Mr. Weed, seems to in dicate that there is some deal on hand which may lead, as has been predicted several times, to the building of the canal without re- r ) i ! t iri i'- mi , ... . .

Delanv. who sharps with Edison and Tesla the honors of a front place in the world of electricity, says that the busi ness correspondence of the near future, will all be done by tele graph and that, as it will be sent by the automatic machiae at the rate of 1,000 words a minute, it will be practical v as private as a sealed letter. Stenographers will learn and emplov the Morsp alphabet, of which he says: "The language of dots and dashes is the only real Volapuk, the uni versal sign language, the knowl adsre of which would enahlp a deaf mute to make himself under stood from Kansas to Khartoum, wherever he found a telegraph operator." "Lounger" in the Critic, tplls of a publishing firm "which once sent a poet a- check for $300 for a poem, and he promptly res turned fciuu saying that even what he kept was really more than the poem was worth an opinian with which the publisher did not agree, however." Where and when did this all happen? Publishers who offer three hun dred dollars for a poem ! Poets who return a third of the amount, feeling that they are being over paid! Where are we at? Arcadia, Altruria or Utopia? The ordi nary every-day poet seldom, or never, sees three figures on the check sent him by the publisher, and the publisher who should re ceive $100 in the shape of conscience-money from an overpaid poet would be justified ia dyin of surprise on the spot. Please give us that extiaodinary pub lisher's name, Mr. Lounger, that he may be rewarded by a ton of poetry from hitherto unappre ciated bards.
