GOLDSBORO. N. C. THURSDAY APRIL 9, 1896, NO 86 v - ; If u J J ' 1 11 i 5 1 ! - 5 U' LOCAL BRIEFS A valuable horse belonein to Mr. Robert Hinnant, of New Hope, was killed by lihtniDg during the storm Wednesday af ternoon. John Phillip Sousa will con tribute the musical feature of the April Ladies' Home Journal. The famous baud master has been induced to turn aside from marches to write a waltz, which he has christened '.'The Colonial Dames Waltzes." A special from Henrietta, N. C, says Henrietta, cotton mill No. 2 is completed ana .the pow erful turbines have been tested. Regular work begins ou Monday. There are sixty acres of floor in this mill, which is the largest in North Carolina. The executive committee of the Eastern Hospifal were in session at that institution, near this ity,T hursday. Among other business transacted they elected Mr. Leslie C. Southerland to the position of auditor for the in stitution, vice Capt R. P. How ell resigned. During the wind storm that came along and in the midst of the heavy rain Wednesday after noon, the roofs of several build ings out atH. Weil & Bros, brick yard were blown off and carried considerable distance, and one of the workmen, Mr. Ingram, had a narrow escape with his life in the wreck. Some of the Republican papers are making a great deal of noise I over the fact that the "Republi can party swept Rhode Island." What' on earth was the use of calling out the Republican party to perform that task? Any old fashioned, colored chamuermaid, armed with a 20 cent broom, could sweep Rhode Island on a summer's morning between get-ting-up time and breakfast. During the season just clos ing, we think a larger number of turkies have been sold in this market than ever before. When cotton dropped to 5 cents a pound the farmer began to look else where than to his Majesty, King Cotton. Consequently more at tention has been paid to the seeming "little things of the farm." The result has been great er prosperity for the farmer. It is quite noticeable that the price of lemons has gone down within the past year or two. Formerly there was a lemon trust, so to speak, in New York, and at the sales no small lots were sold. Hence the small buyer who wanted 40 or 50 boxes was not allowed to bid. All of that has changed, however, and the bidder can buy 2 or 3 boxes at- the big sales. the bloodhounds were given another trial of trailingThursday and they did exceedingly well, bringirg their man to a tree in due time. He was sent out at 9 o'clock that morning, and after taking a meandering course.fre quentJy doubling back on his track and dodging about through many divious paths he took a tree. The dogs were" put ou the trail about 1 o'clock, and did some fine work on the double tracks, and within an hour they "located" their man. At the residence of the bride's parents in this county Wednesday at noon, Mr. Jerre Elmore, of Lenoir county, and Miss Ella, v the amiable daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. K. Rackley, were united in the holy bond of wed lock, Elder Jno. W. Gardner, of this city, officiating. After the ceremony the wedding guests were entertained at an elaborate dinner by the bride's parents. The Argus wishes the happy couple length of days and the fullest measure of life's joys and prosperity. The Baltimore Sun mentions the fact thrt Mr. C. M. Wesson, who lives near Baltimore, has been appointed to the United States Navy, and has passed the requued examination. In speak ing of Mr. Wesson, the Sun states that he graduated last' June at Davis Military School, Winston, N. C. Thus does Davis Military School continue to keep its rec- . ord, namely, that out of the large , number of boys and young men educated there and appointed to West Point and Annapolis,, not one has ever failed to pass the rigid examination. , . ' - v The resignation of Mr, H. D. Conover, General Secretary of the Y. M. O. A. of this city, to accept a more lucrative position in the work, while giving pleas- ure to his many friends at his advancement, will - be cone the less sincerely regretted by all who' have been ' associated with with him here in the work and socially. He has been a zealous worker and aft exemplary leader in all the relations of the Y; M. C. A. to the Christian lifn. He is thorough in the work and is always cheerful and aggress ive. We shall miss . him greatly - find with abiding regret, BESCBREXIT. 5 :-.i' The watch -word on the towers upon to-morrow's sun-rise' is "Resurrexit." "He has Risen." In the Christian world it is com memorated that Christ, after en during the last tortures df the Divine self-sacrifice, severed Himself from the humanity vol untarily assumed that the God head should be amenable to suf ienng, and. breaking the grave, arose to Heaven while the hosts on high were crying Allelujah and angels and arch-angels joined in the chorus of gladness, that Adam and Eve's disobedi ence and its awful consequences upon their descendants had been lifted. The Resurrection is the ky stone to Christianity. It marks the era, when men ceased to res gard the Divinity as an angry power, which had to be appeased. ana commencea, to look upon Him as a father, a brother, friend. From pagan time immemorial the season, so closely allied with the budding of the fruit trees and the opening of flower blossoms, when the young lamb trots by the side of its mother and the field and forest teem with love making and nest-building, has been given over to festivity. The dead world seems at this time to take on new life and to feel the active throb of desire to do and be something in the work of the universe. Christianity stepped in nearly 1900 years ago and added to the natural joy of early spring the pleasures of doing for others, of doing right for right's sake, the pleasures of sacrifice for the general good, of which Christ had given such a shining example. Goldsboro has especial reason to ring all her Easter bells most merrily to-morrow. Her people are a Christian people. They have passed through hard times and came out victorious. They have breasted financial depres sion and stand broad-chested and strong to take advantage of the golden opportunities now at hand. The North and West look with longing eyes to this fair country, and its unequalled cli mate, soil and undeveloped wealth. The way our people handled the hard times gained he admiration of the world. The South was never more in viting or its future more promis ing than at present, and the "Gem City" of all the South is Goldsboro. Let us, therefore, arise, at this giorious Easter time, to a realization of our su perior advantages and sing in common: "We've" got the best town in the State."

He carries with him scales on which he weighs the "almost worthless old jew elry." The man buys at his own price and is evidently making lots of money out of the busi ness, it is a pity that our peo ple will allow themselves to he so taken in. It is no more diffi cult to sell old gold than it is to sell new gold. .

Hill & Son's Drug Store, Pay of 1'ostoffice Clerks- Congress will very soon take action on the bill to reclassify postoffice clerks and it is to be hoped that the measure will pass. The present system is manifestly unfair and in many instances in justice to worthy and efficient clerks is the result. After the allotments are made by the various postoffices, the as aignments of clerks to salaries are by the postmasters' under certain restrictions. It necessar ily happens as the result of such a system that their is much unfair ness and inequality in the matter of salaries. A clerk performing certain work in one office at times receives but one half the salary of similar duties in another city. Two clerks work side by side in the same office, do the same work, and vet one of them receives twice the compensa tion of the other, who is often the better clerk of the two. One clerk performs a higher grade of work than another, and still receives a smaller compensation. The clerk's salary, poor as it is, is not assured to him from year to year, so un certain is the present system. His pay his dependent upon the de partmental estimate, the appropri ation of Congress, the allotment of the salary and allowance division and the judgment or caprice of his postmaster.

In the pending bill it is proposed to classify and pay clerks accord ing to the work which they actually perform. The designations are defined; the duties are determined, and the salaries are fixed. It is certainly a reasonable proposition. Certainty, equality, fairness and reality are substituted in this measure for uncertainty, inequal ity, unfairness and artificialty; and m order to accomplish these ends but a modest amount will be . re quired. It is estimated that $400, 000, will easily cover the addi tional cost for the next fiscal year,, and half that amount will be de voted to bringing the minimum pay of clerks in first-class offices up to $600 a small enough salary from which to expect honest and efficient service. It is proposed to make an annual increase of $100 till the $900 limit is reached cer tainly not too much for any man who is fit to remain in the service the necessary three years. Pro motion is made to depend upon efficiency and length of service, and the higher grades are but rea sonably provided for. The passage of this bill would undoubtedly improve the post office service and do an act of de layed justice to a host of worthy government employes. THE CITY OF THE KING. BOSTON CATHOLIC FILOT.

A condition which has inter-, ested not anly theologians but all students of sociological and cor related problems arises out of the prevailing ignorance of the Bible among college graduates. All the commentators agree as to the fact. A want of Biblical knowledge is admitted as an ef fect, but there is a variety of opinion as to the cause or causes producing it. Cnarle3 Dudley Warner is one of the" latest contributors to the literature of the subject. Mr. Warner believes that the igncr ance of college students and graduates concerning the Bible and the marvelous histories and allegories ltcoutains is a want of proper training and education in the home. "If its treasures are not a part of growing childs hood," says he, "they will al ways be found external to its late possessors." He contends that it is in the family this edu cation must begin, and that "it will then be, as it used to be, an easy and uuconscious education a-stimulus to the imagination and a ready key to the great world of tradition, custom, history and literature. " The world will grow in grace at a rate never heretofore at tained when family worship be comes an every day incident oi family life. It would be inter esting to know in how many of the families of this country, where both the father and mother are professing Christians, both the morning and evening hnd religious services in progress. Or to restrict the inquiry, how many such families are there where the word of God is read in 24 hours? We venture to as sert that the custom of family worship is not observed in two per cent of the Christian homes of our land. In a larger percent age of such homes the head of the family goes through what is termed by courtesy a "saying of grace " over meat. This is sure to become in time a perfunctory ceremony unless a man is en- dowed with a versatility which enables him to say something new three times a day for years. It loses character as a religious observance and yet, in the great majority of Christian bomts, it is made to do duty for family wor- The bible is a never ceasing well spring of inspiration It could never become monoton ous when read by a judicious father to his family. Burns had the right . idea of what should censtitute family worship when in the "Cotter's Saturday Might" be wrote how the venerable father oi the flock "reads a por tion with judicious care, does not mean, as it is too understood to mean; that the reader was under a moral obliga tion to his audience to avoid certain portions of Scripture, al it might mean that and still not destroy the beauty of household worship as a re ligious form and observauc What the Doet meant to say was that the father of the cottage judi ciously sought to find those pas sages of the old, old story which should most earnestly and ine sistibly address themselves to the hearts and minds of his hearers. Burns tells us what he read, one of the most beautiful of all the beautiful things in the Book. But.it is an endless treasure, and the cottager might never exhaust it. For there is no portion or Scripture that will not bear re reading, and those portions which reach sublimity of beauty in thought and expression will bear reading a hundred or a thousaud times. They are immortal. There is another point of view from which to contemplate the admitted ignorance of collegians in this respect. Most of these young men term themselves scis entists. They have nibbled at Darwin and fooled along the edffes of Spencer and Huxley. The stupendous intellectual task of plunging into the deptns or those great thinkers has appalled them, and they have not attempts ed it. Never was the truth of Pope's lines, v A little learning is a dangerous tnmg, Drink deep or taste not the Pierian Spring, more forcibly illustrated than in their cases. They return home to condemn the Bible they have never read, and to earn the con tempt of men who have read both science and revefatoin with a aeal born of a fierce despair and who have found no inherent conflict.

Most of us are striv ing, striving, striving for self. How different was He who went about doing good searching out those in want, in grief and in despair. The world looked on in amazement; but only a few caught up the spirit of the Master, overcame self, forsook all and followed Him. In over coming self those humble mpn became the benefactors of the human race. At the outset the followers of the Saviour had no conception of the influence they were to exert in the world's his tory. They cared uothing about that; their consuming thought was the duty of the hour. 1 This often Easter Day. ! One year ago, there were many voices which sang the glories of the risen Lord that are silent to-day. They have gone to join the army which for six thousand years has been on the march from the scenes of earth. This time last year, to many of them tne sun was as bright and ihe skies as clear as to you and to me. But the flowers of Spring bloom not again for them. Who will be the next to join the ranks and march away? God only knows. Many there are wno now delight in the fra grance of the voices who will never see again the bloomiug of the roses of - leafy June. True, indeed, is it that to-day only is ours. How many people Lave been deceived by that "teaicr row" which never came. To-morrow morning, through out the Christian world wil! echo and re-echo the glorious words, "He is risen." In the great cities to listening thousands the chimes of cathedrals will ring the sweet, joyous notes, "He is risen." On the little church on the peaceful mountain -side, the silvery bell will call to those that dwell on mountain and plain to join the chorus, "He is risen." On the lonely island, in the far-away Pacific, dreaming of home and kindred far, far away, tfce feel ing of sadness will be quickly dispelled, as there enters into the soul of he consecrated mis sionary the words of the greatest and grandest announcement that ever fell upon mortal ears, "He is risen" He is not here." Highest of all in Leavening: Powc:. Latest U. S. Gov't Report ETHICS OF PKOGKESS. A conductor of the Railroad told us that in Southern a recent conversation with a gentleman from Rhode Island, the gentleman his first affect to disdain the Bible, said that he was on his first visit to North Carolina, and that visit had been to him a revelation. The pos sibilities, he said, for develop ment and money-niking in North Carolina are simply wonderful.

Tho one thing necessary is to induce thp North to invest money here. The way to accomplish this is to get the peo ple of New England and tho Middle States to come among us and see for themselves the oppor tunities for investment. These people have money in abundance, and they are naturally anxious to put their money where it will yield a good per cent. Vv hy should our people m Goldsboro not try to get settlers and investors from the North? In vite them to come and investigate. How do they know that we want them? Have they ever received invitations? Why is Georgia the Empire State of the South, and why is Atlanta, by common consent, recog nized as the most promising city in the oouthern btates; It is simply because their own citizens have Worked in harmony, invited strangers among them, treated them with broad-palmed hospital ity when they cume and showed them that under the genial skies of Georgia there is ample room for thousands to establish peaceful, prosperous and happy homes.
