NO 18 A i 1 i m ENTERPRISE TO JANTJFACTTJIiE VITKI- FIED BRICK. Messrs. H. Weil & Bros., Have Established a Plant to Manu facture Brick For Street Paving Purposes. Tlie City's Advantage in the Premises. There is r.c thing that Golds born or Go'dsboro people cannot do. Iu ai uvenues of industrial pursuits she stands at the head of the proctssion. As a com munity we are fast learning" the advantage to ba gained in manu facturing what we use and keep- ine cur mony at home instead of sending it to other markets. For seme time the Board of Aldermen buv been buying vit rified brick in Tennessee for street paving purposes. In such a long distance and with such a heavy article as brick the ques tiou of f-e:ght is no small item ot tb expanse. If this freight could be saved the cost of brick would bo greatly reduced and consequently morn of the brick could ba Ki3d for the sane out lay G UOiiv V. It wts with a view of meeting just tucb emergency, there fore, that Messrs. H. Weil & Brr.s , v7ho b ve one of the largest plants for the manufacture of brick to be fouod in the South, began experimenting with, the vitrified brick. Tbey calculated that if such brick could be made at all, they could be made here in Golds boro. We have no orange groves or banana farms and do not make a specialty of growing tropical plants, but with cur variety of soil and flower, ana tree, ana ai most perfect, climatic conditions, we can produce almost any article . on the maiktt to-day lor use amocfir the civilized inhabitants of the world. This is a broad statement, tut it 13 not vision ary." Not only can we produce such ai tides, but we are f&bt doing so. Ona by one new enter prises ' are be ng built for the maiufactoi i af the abundtnee of crude material which lie at our doors. The nev plant for the manu facture of vitrified brick is an addition tc our industrial enter prises which will prove cf much iaiDorta'ct when the city shall have it sued bonds for street im provement, which event will take place in the near future. The brick, which are the eame that are being used for street paving purposes all over the country, can be supplied right here at home at a much less cost than we now have to pay for such brick, be cause of the big saviDg in freight. After demonstrating their abil ity to make such brick Messrs H. Weil & Bros were quick to see the advantage of such a plant for themselyes and also for the city, and have employed exper ienced help and will manufacture the brick on a large scale. THAT JOXFUIi FEELOfG With the exhilarating sense of re newed health and strength and interna! cleanliness which follows the use of Syrup of Figs, is unknown to the few who have not progressed beyond the old-time medicines and the cheap sub stituteB sometimes offered but never accepted by thewell-lnformed, DIVERSIFIED CROPS. Experience Sustains the Wisdom of Wheat. The Argus has Ad vocated Along This lane for Years. - Ever since its first number for well-nigh sixteen years the Argus has persistently advocated with its farmer sealers in these parts diversified crops. Time was when home-grown ha, home-raised m&&t and cattle, homo-made flour, and even meal not to speak of other things were almost unknown hereabouts. It is Otherwise now. And this is the experience all over the South. In a recent is sue the Galveston News eays: "The northern press, having noticed the prosperous condition of the south, will soon begin to inquire the cause of it. The simple J cue,' diversification of crops,' i9 hero mentioned which will greatly reduce the amount of labor ceces sary to ascertain the cause of that prosperity." Our Texas contem- oorarv is eminently correct. The south ia probably the most pros perous part of the country and the reason given by the Galveston News goes far toward explaining tb?t f The very hi.h price of cotton for several years just after the war induced the farmers of the South to adopt the all cot- ton policy, which they continued long after there was any reason in it. But the south is getting away from that expensive policy. Cot ton is and will rema'n the princi pal crop of th;s section, but this will not prevent a great increase in ofier agricultural production here. The most successful farmers in the south ore those who di versify their crops and raise at least a great part of their own supplies. During the last few years there has been in North Carolina and every other southern state a marked increase of food croos and vet the south still de- penas upon tbe west lor a large ...i part of its provisions. We hope to see the day wbe North Carolina will produca every pound of meat and every bushel of corn and oats and everv bale of hay and every bushel of potatoes she needs. North Carolina can do this and it will pay to do it. Some years ago there was an agitation for lacgar wheat pro duetion in this state which his had most beneficent results. The , D v ao4. mw coaraged wheit growing in North Carolina and are filill Dromotinsr i fr liaa Keen tlamnnitrafofl hot W'het can be raisrt profitably in almost everv Dart of this State with records of o?e 49 bushels to the acre. That would be a fine yield of wheat anywhere in the world. We are convinced that the" cul tivation of all food crop3 is to in crease in this stats and with that increase North Oatolma will be- , , come more proBpcroas. The present gratifying and steadily improviag conditions in the south are dne largely to the greater diversification of crops, and the good worfc should be car ried on. Alvord intimates it was the stock market rathei than horse races that did it 1 DM OF PROSPERITY. THE CITY BOND ISSUE TO BE CONSIDERED. A Committee of Aldermen and Citizens Will Take the Sua- jectin Hand and Report their Findings to the Board of Aldermen Daily Argus, Tuesday. The Board of Aldermen met last night with Mayor Peterson iu the chair andAidermen Dewey Draper, Hollowel), Weil, Powell, Creech, Lamb and Hill present. City Clerk Broadhurst read the minutes of the last session, which were adoptod without change. The question of placing an electric light at the corner of Slocumb and Ashe streets, broucht up by Aldermm Draper and also another at the culyert on Park avenue brought up by Alderman Weil, was left to the Street and Light Committee with instructions to report back to the board. Improvements to the head quarters of Goldsboro Fire Co. No. 1, asked for by Driver John King, were ordered made. A motion prevailed to pay for hose which the fire department had purchased. Alderman Weil asked for an appropriation or fciuu to mane much needed improvements to Hermann Park and the appro priation was granted. On a tie yote, with the Mayor ( casting the deciding vote, Mr. JackPulsrhum, the foreman of the street force, was elected to fill an unexDired term on the nolice force. Vice -Tudor re E signed. Alderman Hollowell moved that the grade on the cemetery hill be reduced two feet and that notice be given the water com pany of such intention. Alderman Hill called attention to the neglect of the street sprinkler and said it was left out in the weather without pro- tectiOD) The Board ordered that 1 a shelter be provided nd that I the SDrinkler be kept under shelter when not in usa. Mr. Jos. B. Robinson appear A. ed before the Board in the in terest of the proposea city Dona issue for internal improvements. TTa Kriaf t-omira riat.iVfl , , . , . tuenis, a summary ui wujuu ua appeared in the Argus hereto- fore, and then suggested to the Board that a committee of three s . .

An amendment was offered nririincr tiio Mamr tn thp. nrnnns ed committee as chairman. Aldermen Hill moved the adop tion of the Amendment and sev 6ral expressed their approval of snch a course. Alderman Hill's i - j motion was adopted and the Mayor appointed the following com- j mittee: Aldermen ;J. H. Hill, Sol. Weil and C. Dewey and Messrs. N. O'Berry, J. E. Bob inson, E. B. Borden, Jos. Rosenthal, W. D. Creech and Dr. M. E. Robinson. The reports of the several city officers were read, the pay roll and bills allowed and the Board adjourned. IT IS MC'KIMLEY AGAIN. A Landslide That Is Gen erally Surprising. NO OFFICIAL COUNT NECES SARY TO DETERMINE THE ISSUE Of Who Is to Be President There Is No Doubt About the General Result. The returns from yesterday's presidential election throughout the United States, although not defioiteiy tabulated, are of such general trend to the McKinley side of the combat that there is no doubt that he is to be presi dent for the next four years. It is useless to go into particu lars. The result is as here an nounced and even comment would fall unavailing at this time. The congressional result in North Carolina points to the election ol 8 oui of 9 Congress men, Crawford, in theNinth being probably defeated. Kitchin carriss this district by probably 10,000. While the capitalists are con sidering the profits to be derived from the beven Springs trolly Una project and are figuring on the scheme, the people of Golds boro are busy selecting the route ia which the road shall enter the city. The most popular route selected so far is out Park Av enue, wniie suca details are somewhat premature, it shows that the people are thinking about the matter and such a scheme would be a "consummation devout lyto be wished," An a result of a heated political argument two residents of Muske gon, Mich., made a wager of $35 on the result of the election, one day last week. One of the parties to the btt owed a coal bill of $21. The coal dealers heard of the waeer. trar- nisheed the stakeholder and recov i - I ered the amount of their claim CURKS BLOOD POISON.

Sena torial primary in North Carolina is a regular landslide for Hon.F. M. Simmons. Forgetting all controversies and bickerings let us accept the result with all that his splendid majority of 50,000 portends. It means that the rank and file of the Democracy of the State have risen in their common sense of appreciatiye justice and glad ly given the highest honor in their power to the man who has so fearlessly stood in the fore front of their marshalled hosts and achieved for us victory in the face of lowering defeat by his dauntless daring and invinc ible prowess. In the Senate of the United States North Carolina, in the per son of F. M. Simmons, will have have a Senator that can cope with the bett in that aggregation of intellectual giants, and be peered by none in all that goes to make a a Btatesman ana a patriot. NTH COUNTY'S VOTE I AMERICAN .MANUFACTURES WIN FAVOR ABROAD. Within the Last Two Years TliLs Country Has Given Remark able Evidence of Her Su periority in Industrial Enterprise. Within the last twqjrears there have been some remarkable de monstrations' of the superiority of this country in industrial en terprise and of the steady and rapid extension of our coma merce. A recant io stance is attracting attention in Europe as well as in the United States. An American firm has se cured a contract for $5,000,000 worth of rolling stock for i South African railway. Bids were received from a large num ber of British manufacturers but that of the American com pany was onoxtbird lower than the lowest British bid and the cars will be delivered much ear lier thaa any British concern could agree to supply them. The industrial journals of Eng. lacd are considerably disturbed over this matter and one of them asks the British manufacturers if they intend to let Americans capture the t raie of the coun tries which England has iust conquered and from whose com merce she had expected such big benefits. It will b9 remembared that the British steel manufacturers were made very sore by ihe bestowal upon American bidders of the contracts for the steel bridges and a large part of tha steel rails for the railroad which England began to build in the Soudan soon after Lord Kitchener com pleted the conquest of that re gion. England desired to have that railroad completed as soon as possible and the American contractors won both because they underbid the British and be cause they could guarantee to do the work in much shorter time. The latter consideration was the more important with the British government, It has been proved severalttimes that in competU tion for jfreat railroad contracts the American concerns which un dertake such work can beat all others both in price and time. American locomotiyas are in demand ia all parts of the world and graat quantities of American steel rails have r&sntly been laid on some of the trunk lines in England. Ia the lighter lines of manu facture American enterprise is constantly invading new terri tory. American sewing machines bicycles, agricultural machinery, carpets, shoes and American goods of many other kinds are now sold abroad in quantities far greater than anybody would have dared predict ttm years ago and have become articles of com flion use in many localities where up to a few years ago .they had never been seen. The onward march of Ameri can industry and enterprise is one of the pheaosaojja of the closing year of the nineteenth century. Stops ttoe Cottglt and Works ott the Cold.
