Secretary Root and General Miles Make the Ad dresses The Centennial Exercises Close. West Point, N. Y., June 12 The centennial celebration of the West Point Military Academy was ended today with the presentation of dip lomas to the graduating class. The weather was fine and the ceremony took place out of doors on that part of the parade grounds known as "Cavalry Plain." An open tent over a platform had been erected for the speakers and officials and stand ing at the front of the platform President Roosevelt presented each new officer with his diploma. It was expected the President would make a tew remarks, but he simply shook hands with each cadet. On the platform besides the Presi dent were General Horace Porter, General Miles, Secretary Root, Sec retary Moody, the Chinese Minister Wu Ting Fang, Senator Pettus and others. The speakers were General Dick, lor the Board of Visitors; Secretary Root for the Government and Gen eral Miles for the army. The Secretary told how an old of ficer in the late war happened to come under the command of a young volunteer officer and yet continued to do his duty without giving any sign of the feelings he must have had as an old and faithful soldier. "His conduct attracd attention and the President," said the speaker, "had already picked him out to lead the American army to Pekin, General A. R. Chaffee. It was be- because he ruled his own spirit that the President thought he could take a city." General Miles' remarks today were chiefly those of an older to younger officers and referred almost wholly -to the business of war. He said there were supreme moments in the life of a soldier, and when an of ficer knows he is doing just what the enemy thinks he is not, and when he feels one more victory has been added to American glory. General Miles was loudly cheered and ap plauded when he arose to speak. LIST OF LETTERS Remaining in Postoffice, Golds boro, Wayne County, N. C, June 12, 1902. MEN'S LIST. B F. Brewington, T.

A Goldsboro Boy Writes of the Closing Exercises of This Flourishing School. Dover, N. C, June 9, 1902. Editor Goldsboro Argus : Dear Sir : Knowing your sincere interest in all matters pertaining to that great subject education, I beg just a small pace in your valuable pages to publicly praise the partici pants in the commencement exer cises of Dover High School, which took place Thursday and Friday nights of last week. It is a great pleasure indeed for me to state truth fully that not a single mistake was made throughout the exercises on either night. For this praise is due to the efforts of Prof L. L. Hargrave and his esteemed wife, who, since they have been in Dover, have worked exceedingly hard for the ad vancement of the young people along educational lines. The session of Dover High School, closing last Friday night, was quite a successful one, and a still more successful one is hoped for and ex pected next year. The musical part of the exercises deserves special mention, and the young ladies who took part in this showed much talent both in piano and vocal music. Also the small children showed that they were trained carefully in their drills and separate recitations. On Friday night lectures were de livered by two gentlemen who are deeply interested in the education of the children of North Carolina, as well as every other State. These gentlemen were Hon. S. M. Brinson, of Newbern, Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction of Craven county, and the other was Rev. T. C. Coggins, President of the Atlantic Christian College of Wilson. At the close of the exercises Prof. Hargrave arose and after speaking in high terms of Dover, its people and his pupils, stated that he had been requested to announce that at the close of the next session of Dover- High School, two gold medals would be awarded to the two pupils, one in the primary and one in the ad vanced department, who received the highest percentage in all studies; general deportment and attendance to be considered. As soon as the applause could be quieted Dr. Cog gins arose and made a donation much to be appreciated, which was a free scholarship for one year in the Atlantic Christian College for the pupil standing the best examinations and receiving the highest percentage in all studies. Our esteemed townsman Mr. G. V. .Richardson, then arose and in fitting words thanked Dr. Coggins on behalf of the Dover people for his srenerous donation. This closed the exercises and the audience dis persed for their homes. Under the inducements put forward and with Prof. Hargrave at the helm, we bespeak a very successful session, beginning September 10. 1902, for Dover High School. .Leslie Johxsojc Its quality influences the selling price. , Profitable fruit growing insured only when enough actual is in the fertilizer. - Neither quantity nor good quality possible without Potash.

Imjunel2 A Potash OUR NEW POST OFFICE. Statement of the Method of Securing Sites for Federal Buildings. The following circular-letter from the United States Treasury Depart ment, relating to the proposed site and building for the new post-office in this city, will be found of interest to our readers : ' Treasury Department, Office of the Secretary, Washington, June 10, 1902. In some cases where a public building has been authorized by law a site is donated, but before such do nation can be accepted the govern ment ascertains whether the lot is suitable in all respects for the purpose intended, with clear title, etc. When a site must be purchased, however, proposals to sell the neces sary land are invited by the publica tion in the local paper of an advertise ment which gives the approximate size of the lot required; (being a corner lot feet in the case of the building in your city;) states that the site must be a corner, centrally and conveniently located ; that the venders of the site chosen must fur nish at their own expense all ab stracts, official certifications, evi dences of title, etc., deemed neces sary by the Attorney-General, and must remove any improvements that may be on the land whenever re quired to do so ; and gives such other points as it may be considered neces sary to have covered in the. bids. The proposals are opened on the day set in the advertisement, and as soon as possible an agent of the Depart ment is sent to make a personal ex amination of the properties offered. When his report has been submitted the Department makes the selection, and the proposal of the owner of the and selected is formally accepted, upon tne conditions namea in me advertisement and, further, that the Attorney -General shall give a favora ble opinion as to the validity of the title to the property. Generally, the notice to remove improvements is not given until some time after the purchase has been consummated. When the owners of the land chosen are unable to rmaise srooa voluntary conveyance, or if it is not possible to agree upon a reasonable price for the te selected, the land may be con demned. After the State shall have ceded to the United States exclusive jurisdic tion over the land (if such cession has not already been made), and the title to the site has become vested in the United States, the plans for the building based upon reports from local and Washington officials as to the accommodations necessary to be provided are taken up in due course, the work placed under con tract and the building erected as speedily as the circumstances of the case permit. II. A. Taylor, Acting Secretary. TO SEE THE BIG TREES. The Knights of the Middle Ages used to be frequenters of forests and lovers of the trees that the Druids once worshiped. All sorts of poems and plays have been written about the doings of noble Knights, ''amid forest glades and bosky dells," and so it is likelyto be largely a matter of inherited sentiment that will lure thousands of Pythian Knights to the big tree groves of California in Au gust next. The Knights of Pythias of the United States and Canada are going to hold their annual gathering in San Franscisco August llth-20th. There will . be business a plenty to transact, but after it's over there will be pleasurings all about the big State that offers more fun for tourists to the square mile than any other sec tion of this round Id earth. Trips to the big trees of Mariposa or Santa Cruz are planned and such journeys are the impressive events of a life time. Pictures will be made on memory's pages that can never be effaced. The traveler will say with the poet Wordsworth after such a visit: "One impulse from a vernal wood, May teach you more of man, Of moral evil and of good Than all the sages can." The overland railroads are already quoting absurdly low rates for this 'eross-continent trip, and it is esti mated that fully one hundred thou sand people are going on this Pythian pilgrimage. Rural Delivery. I have received a letter from the Honorable C. It. Thomas, member of Congress, saying that a special agent of the Government will be in Goldsboro during the first or second week in July, for the purpose of es tablishing rural free delivery routes. This agent will also conduct ex aminations for the appointment of carriers. A member of Congress has no powerto appoint these carriers and they are appointed under the rules and regulations of the Rural Free Delivery Service. Congressman Thomas also writes me that there are only two applica tions on file for Wayne, one from Goldsboro and one from Mt. Olive, and that he hopes to establish a large number of these routes in Wayne County. It is important that the people in the country interested in this matter should take notice of it and be pre pared to make applications for these routes. I will give any assistance that I eau m the matter. W. R. ALLEtf, Chm'n of the Executive Comm. For Commissioner. Walter, X. C, June 14, 1902. Editor Argus: I notice in read ing your valuable paper that there is beinjr brought forward names of different gentlemen for the various county offices. I desire to bring be fore the public the name of a gentle man from Fork township for the of fice of County Commissioner. We have not had a member of the board from this section of the county for a number of years; we think we are entitled to one this year. It is generally conceded that the care of the public bridges of the county is one of the most important duties connected with the office. A Commissioner living in this section would be in closer touch with more of the bridges than one living in per haps any other section of the county. The gentleman I wish to see a member of the next board is Mr. G. L. Becton. A man of the highest character, a. true Democrat, possess ing splendid business ability, suc cessful in the management of his own affairs, courteous and kind to all, a man in whose hands the county business would be entirely safe at all times.

RECITAL. By the Pupils of Mrs. A. B. Free man's Music Class Last Night. The recital by the pupils of Mrs. A. B. Freeman's music class, given in her parlor last night, in the pres ence of their parents and a limited number of invited friends, was a most enjoyable occasion, and one that gave peculiar pleasure and pride to the parents of the pupils them selves and must have been most grat ifying to their excellent teacher, for certainly did pupils never acquit themselves more creditably. The program was an elaborate one, owing to the very large number of pupils, and every piece was rendered with faultless precision and splendid ex pression. At the conclusion of the programme the prize winners were announced for the three grades, and had been determined by the most careful marking, and after a final instrumen tal contest on Friday last. The first grade prize was won by little Miss Eunice Freeman, the bright little daughter of Mrs. Siddie Freeman, and grand-daughter of Mrs. Hannah Freeman. The prize for the second grade resulted in a draw between Miss Judith Edwards, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Edwards, and Miss Clara Lee Stevens, daughter of Mr. B. L. Stevens, of Mt. Olive, and in the draw was won by little Miss -H.awaras. xne tnira grade prize was also a draw between Miss Bessie Edwards, daughter of Mr. and Mrs J. W. Edwards, Miss Annie Den mark, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W A. Denmark, and Miss Mayme Ed wards, daughter of Mr. and Mrs Jos. Edwards, -and resulted in favor of Miss Bessie Edwards.

One of the most conclusive features of evidence that Goldsboro is the generally recognized ideal city of the State is the prevailing sentiment abroad that if anything comes from Goldsboro it is all right, and - the generous spirit of rivalry among our sister towns to set into Goldsboro' s class. For instance, our contempo rary, the Wilson Times, has the following in point: "Mr. A. M. Griffith, manager oi the Interstate Directory Company, who is taking a census of Wilson, findsuponJits completion that we have by actual count 6,792 people, 3,803 whites and 2,989 colored. Accord ing to the same company who took Goldsboro's and Kinston's census, Goldsboro has 6,225 and Kinston 6, 300. Thus it will be seen that Wil son is ahead of all the cities in the East except Wilmington, in point of population." The truth is, either Mr. Griffith has lost his "note book" of his can vass of Goldsboro, or else he is "jol lying" our good friend of the Wilson Times, for the actual published pop ulation of Goldsboro, according to Mr. Griffith's carefully canvassed figures, is 8,312, This canvass, too, was made some months ago, and as few ever die in Goldsboro, or move away, and we constantly go forward, it is safe to presume that our popula tion now Is 10,000, against Wilson's which is 6,792.
