One of the highest metallurgi
cal authorities of England, Mr.
Jeremiah Head, who visited the
South in 1SU0 and again in 1S9A,
has just made a report on the
"Iron Industry of Birmingham,
A la. , with special reference to a
possible competition therefrom in
British markets," to the British
Iron and Steel Institute. The
main points or this . report
iresent a very strong showing for
the South. Mr. Head admits the
ibility of Alabama to produce
iron at a much lower cost than
England, and that, notwith
standing all that has been accom
plished, the iron trade of the
Southern States is yet in it 5 in
fancy as compared with its fu
tare. He believes that there is
great prosperity in store for the
iron and steel interest of the
South, but he thinks that the
growth of this business will more
ikely injure the Northern and
Western iron trade than create
serious competition with thng-
land. It is a striking commen
tary upon the South's position
that the British Iron and Steel
Institute should fiad it necessary
to secure such a report and to
carefully discuss the possible
dauger of Southern competition.

In full to witness this excellent

a cause that every North. Caro
linian should feel aa interest in.
Probably no one in the South is
more familiar with the gold-min
ing interests of that section than
Mr. Wilkes, of the Mecklenburg
Iron Works, of Charlotte. This
company has for j-ears made a
specialty of gold-mining machin
ery, and controls the Theiss
chlorination system, which has
proved such a success at the Haile
mine and elscAvhere. The careful
conservatism ot Air. v HKes in
regard to gold matters adds value
to an interview in the Atlanta
Constitution, in which he said:
We have had more inquires in
toe last tew months than ever
before. There is no question
about the interest in ieorgia
gold properties, and we look for
great development in that line.
Prospectors are dropping in
all the time. A great many have
come here from Cripple Oreek
in the last ijjsw months, and all
declare that if some of theseGeor-
gia properties were in the West,
they would be valued at millions.
All that is needed to bring the
North Georgia mines to the at
tention of the world is plenty of
capital to work them and show
that they pay. The pay ore n
here in the ground in abundant
quantities, enough to keep the
largest plants busy for 200 years.
In the case of many property
owneis, they have not. the money
to do any thinff more than to go
down a few feet. From $1000 to
10.000 ousht to be spent in de
veloping a mine. Then if the
pay ore is there in quantity the
owner can command a good price
for it.
These .statements are confii med
as though the South is about to
have a very marked increase in
gold-mining.
A Comprehensive Review of it Horn els of

The following is the eloquent
oration of Prof. G. T. Win&tuu,
president of the State University,
recently delivered at the com
mencement exercises of the
Goldsboro Graded School in the
Messeuger Opera House in this
city:
The Goldsboro Schools are not yet 21
yea-3 old, but they are old enough to
have grandchildren The clilltlrou of
tbe tirst children of the school are witu
us to-ui"-ht, as pupiis of ihe Goldsboro
Schools; so thai we have entered such
an asio of respectability as to have
grand children to command.
The best known Ihintr in North Caro
lina is the Goldsboro school. If you
should go to Liexinjfton or Ashoville
and conuuet au examination out in the
country and ask, Where 'S GoldsooivV
the reply would be somewhat liko the
one made by a New England child on
having the question presented to nim,
Where is io-ton.-"' answered: '-lt io a
town in the United States, not far from
Harvard Universit y." 1 think a boy,
in reply to Where is Goldsboro? would
say: it is a lowu not far from the
Golds ooro Graded School. Applause..!
And one of the best known minys in
North Carolina iathe GoldsboroGi aded
School. Vou would probably lind more
people outside of the borders iif the
State who ha l heard of the Goldsboro
Graded School than who had heard ot
any other thing- in North Carolina.
A place is always known by tee best
thing it has, and it is no wonder that
the county o' Wayne and the town of
Goldsboro has the best known school.
And no wonder that the State of North
Carolina is Known by the Goldsboro
school, and, therefore, it was no idle
eiicouium to say the best exhibit North
Carolina could send to the Chicago ex
position would be the lioldsboro Gi adeu
school on wheels. Applause.
i. am asked to speak to a ou to-niirht
on the Goldsboro school. Its influence
has been far-reaching in many in
stances. It has established many great
irutns, which our people, not oniy in
North Ccirolina, but jjeuerally through
out the South, have doubled lor two
centuries: It has established the great
truth of co-operation: a power which
hus nut been met in tne South, but has
made u'.i its gveatneos in the North, it
is true that ilie power has been applied
here in the direction of education.
Now, the lileof the Goldsboro schools
has eatabii-hed, First, that you receive

contributed towards the support of the
institution, it is not a mere matter of
numbers. It is not a mere matter that
the entire community has the ennob
ling lnlluence of training; that the char
acter of that instruction is better than
the character of any instruction given
in this county. Tne blade of public
education is clearer and sharper than
it was when wielded by private hands.

in Goldsboro, by . the tax levied, not
only a hign plane of education, but
witn better results than anywhere in
North Carolina. This is not theoi-e ical,
out nas oeen tested oy pupils who have
gone to other universities; so that
actual test speaks for the merits of the
school. Anu yet there is not an indi

he would pay for the education of two
of his children if he would send them

ing they hal no one to hulp them with
their lessons, now come to school with
evidence of help help from father,
mother, brother or sister. Indeed this
school is the grandmother and lives to
see her childien being reiioed and cul
tivated. Is there not more desire for
literature and culture in the humble
homes? Is there not greater desire for
this? And is that not due to the
Goldsboro schools? I think it is.
I think we have incontrovertible tes
timony from the teachers of this school
that the same steady improvement is
goicg on that we now see in the intel
lectual liber of this community.
lit very school in New femgland teaches
free hand drawing. All who show pro
liciency can enter the school of design,
where . they invent patterns lor calico
prints, and when they learn what is
tasty and attractive they make it pos
sible for them to be designers and by
heredity from generation to genera
tion. But these things will come. It
s but a question of time. Wo cannot
accomplish eveiything in 15 years.
Never since the world begun is there
any people on the globe that have
hown so remarkable a tower for in
dustries as the Southern pet pie. But
they have only begun the era of pros
perity. Let us extend this idea of puh-
uc co-operation all through the State
and all through the town. Not merely
the towns and villages but the little
towns out in the country. Let us see
every one oi these provided with a
school that runs 8 or 10 month in the
year. In tbe cities let us see the schools
in designing, and wo will see that the
South will take the lead in this work.
Applause, j
This school has not merely it3 les
sons in public co-opera tiou, but it
teaches great truths, home truths, that
it would be well for us to treasure up.
It teaches us the power ol patriotic
sentiment. But for that sentiment the
schools would, never have been estab
lishod.
The Goldsboro Graded Schools were
established mainly bv Mr. Julius A.
Bonitz, a true patriot, wh-j desired to
ound up every community with which
he came in contact. And this com
munity sustained him nobly. A charter
was obtained irow the .Legislature, with
scarcely any opposition. When the
laws were found to be unconstitutional
tne men of this town put their hands in
their pockets. They generously said.
and most humane, that no child, be it
ever so poor, should be excluded from
the school. That spirit has much to do
with the success of this school. And
the next thing in buildine up this school
has been the character of the trustees,
From the readiiig of the history of this
school, they haveeverhadin view only
one idea to secure for the school the
Very best ta ent that was obtainable
anywhere. They were equipped with
excellent teachers and they have sus
tained these teachers in their rules and
regulations; they have supported them
beiore the public, and have given them
authority to manage the rchools as
best and wisest, lo your wise school
board, to their generosity, to their un
selfishness and good comuoa sense is
due the great. influence of that school.
And then to the teachers themselves.
Is there any school anywhere that can
present stronger or .-better known or
more honorable list of teachers, than
the Goldsboro Graded- School? Prof
Moses, who eame to our- State' from
Tennessee, who was an educational en
thusiast, and to whose untiring enerev
and whose love for little children, is
due jnuch the success of the school, and
who impaired his health in its work
and was said to be by s me an educa
tional crank or to be unbalanced on
the subject. Associated with him nr ere
Alderman, Kennedy and Claxton, of
our btate, .Kennedy going to the Dur
ham schools, Aldermen to conduct the
public institutes of North Carolina,
and then going to the State Normal
and Industrial school at Greensboro.
and from there to the State Univer
sity, Claxton going from this school to
the Ashevilo schools and from there to
the State Normal school. And a ladv
who is with us to day a ladv who bv
her instruction of the young, not onl
trains mem in gentleness and moral
culture, but who gives lessons to all
who visits her I need scarcely call the
name of Mrs. Humphrey. Applause.
Miss Garrow is still with the School.
Long may they be here. Bearing out
the simile which we began, may they
be here until they become great grand
mothers. .

and its great power are due to the men
who have governed it. If there is a

An - honorable lit, may it never be
weaker. Applause But the groat
lesson of the school is from thoe that
it teaches. The school. like all vital
organizations, is strong as it is strong,
from within. A school cannot be built
up from the outside. A sc hool must
grow from the inside. It is like a hu
man body, the heart and lungs must be
stiODg in order that it may expand,
andth's school has shown that it is
strong from within. '1 he fharacter of
the boys aud girls that have been to it:
that have gone to other counties, uni
versities and institutions all over the
United States, they have made the rep
utation of the school: they have made
the reputation of the teachers of tbe
school: they have made the influence of
the school. I hope that there will be
brought around this school young la
dies and gentlemen, an elTectiou and
desire to improve it year by year.

EARLY STORE CLOSING.
Something That Will IJonefit Tired Men
and v omeu and ljuys and C.irl?.
In mentioning the necessity for
a half holiday once a week, the
Augus Joes not mean to dictate
to the business men of Goldsboro,
but morel v to surest something
that will benefit its fellow man.
The adoption of these suggestions
io left entirely with those forwhom
they are intended.
Nor in this instance does
the AiiGUS presume to in
terfere w4lh the private
business of any man, but
tbe early closing movement in
the summer time is always a
question of public concern, be
cause hundreds of people are af
fected by it. We have never been
ableto understand why merchants
should ol'iect to general closing
of the stores at an early hour in
the hot seas'n. If all close all
will sell just as much within the
limited time as though all kept
open till sundown. Whenever
shoppers understand that they
cannot make their purchases
after a given heur they will buy
early and at closing time there
will be no customers in the
store.
Another point: In summer
time the weather is so oppres
sive and the hours are so long
that employees break down and
they lack the snap and vim
which is necessary to efficient
work if they do not get an abuns
dance of rest. It is good business,
therefore, for a man to busband
the strength of his employes for
in so doing he is so doing he is
sure to get. better results.This is
from a purely business stand
point, but there is a greater ques
tion involved. Iris the cause of
haminity that appeals and the
Argus takes up the cry of tired
men and women and boys and

Congressman Mahany of New
York is the author of a bill- to
enlarge the locks of the Erie Ca
nal so that torpedo boats may be
able to reach the great lakes
from the Atlantic seaboard. By
the treaty of 1817 both England
and the United States are allow
ed to keep only a single war
ship each on the lakes; but Cana
da has so enlarged the Welland
Canal that formidable vessels o
war can be despatched through
British waters for the destruc
tion of our border cities. Mr.
Mahany's bill provides against
that danger, and if passed, as it
shoald be, it will break one
strong link in the chain of c:"r
cumyallation which England has
drawn around the boundaries of
the United States.
