. j -i - - i , 'i , i : i 1 '.-1 'mil STiLL LEADS'THE WORLD. IS THE GOLDSBORO NO FIRST WINNER. Eclipse a Close Second, and Both Beat Their Own World's Best Records, Which They Have Held for Sev eral Years. WE ARE IT. Like victorious warriors return ing from the field of battle the Golds boro firemen returned Aug. 13 Irona Durham, where they had added new laurels. They have returned loaded down with fresh honors to receive the applause of their own people, without which the honors would be of small account. The Firemen's State Association and the large crowd of visitors as well as the peo ple of Durham have had many kind things to say ot the Goldsboro fire men, ali of which is sineerely appre ciated not only by the firemen, but by every citizen of the "Gem City." If there is an organization in Golds boro of which the people are more proud than another it is the fire de partment. Every citizen is vieing with each other in their efforts to do honor to the champions of the world, for such they are since they have lowered the world's record in the horse hose reel races. It was not enough that the firemen should lower all records as they have done before, but they have lowered their own unbeaten record, which shows what practice and proficiency can accomplish. If possible, the people of Goldsboro are more proud of their excellent volun teer fire department than ever be fore. Goldsboro Co. No. 1 lowered al records and made the race in SO and 4-5 seconds, while the Eclipse Com pany came next with a new record of 31 seconds. When this message was received the Salisbury company was the next lowest at 36 seconds. Goldsboro people have long known that we have the oest volunteer fire department in the world and the time made in the last races "goes to substantiate that claim. There is - no record where any company ever made such time by 3 seconds. mi f4 . -i t - ine uroiasooro nremen are no strangers in the State Firemen's As sociation. For six years they have entered every-tournament and have contended successfully for first honors in the horse hose reel races. There fore when they went to Durham this time the other contestants had. little hope of winning in the most promi nent and most exciting race of the . t -w V v . - wnoie tournament, vv nen the ap pointed fime for the races came off all eyes were turned on the Golds boro contestants and when they came down the track with all the speed that their fast horses could com mand and the couplings were made to the hydrant and nozzle, with all the skill that practice could bring to bear the vast multitude of spectators had witnessed a scene unequalled in the history of the world. When the figures were placed on the blackboard the spectators gave vent to their en thusiasm with wild shouts of joy and lusty cheers. Pandemonium reigned for several minutes, during which time the members of the winning team were taken up bodily and carried about on the shoulders of their admirers. Thirty and four-fifth seconds is a very short time, but that is all that was required for the No. 1 company of this city to drive their horse 200 yards, lay 200 feet of hose, attach one end to the nyarant j;ana a nozzle to the other end?andj3how, water. The Eclipse Company of this city, which has won firstmoney on sev eral accasions, only lost the race by one-fifth of a second. There are honors enough to go around. - r an i m BP$gW fm f A SAD DEATH. Former GoMsboro Lady Passes . A. tVity in Georgia. The Fort Valley (Ua.) Leader, of August' 6th, contains the following notice that Will be read. with sincere!. regret ly runny in this city and county her former home: "Mrs. Annie Eliza Jones, wife of our young friend Willie H. Jones, died at their country home five miles from town, on July 24, and her re mains were laid to rest in Oak Lawn cemetery in this city. "Mrs. Jones was born March 17, 1872, in Goldsboro, N. C, and waa married Nov. 5, 1895, at Rock Hill, S. C, to Mr. W. II. Jones, of Fort Valley, Ga. She died July 24th, 1903, of rheumatism of the heart. Her brief married life was a happy one. She leaves four little children, two girls and two boys. She has also two brothers and two sisters, who survive her, Richard Jones and Mrs. M. D. Gurly of Chadbourne, N. C, Harvey Jones of Hobgood, N. C.,and Mrs. W. E. Holmes of Goldsboro, N. C. "Mrs. Jones was a lovely woman with a noble Christian character. She was a loving, faithful wife, good, sweet mother, and a devoted sister and friend. "No death in our community has drawn out the heart sympathy of our people more than that of this good young woman, both for the kind husband and the four little orphans that she leaves with us. "Mrs. Jones was a member of the Methodist church from her girlhood, and that she lived a faithful Chris tian life was clearly and unmistak ably evidenced in the hour of death." SHAMROCK AND RELIANCE. The trial trips of the contestants are ended, and the time remaining before the races will be employed in getting challenger and defender in the best possible form in tuning up, in other words. The races will be sailed on August 20, 22 and 25, and on following Thursdays, Saturdays and Tuesdays, if necessary. The winner of three races will take or hold the Cup, that has remained in this country quite fifty years. It is a three-out of-five race. The new cup hunter is conceded to be the best that Designer Fife has designed, and competent and close observing yachtsmen who have watched the daily spins of the chal lenger with, her predecessor do not hesitate to say that the race will be close and doubtful. It is conceded that the Shamrock III has a good opportunity to win. The betting is at odds of 10 to 7 on the Reliance, and this alone-shows that confidence in the American boat is not extreme. The danger always i3 that races off Sandy Hook in August are apt to be drifting matches in winds tantaliz ingly light. Such a race i3 dull be yond comparison, and no doubt there will be drifting matches before the races are ended. The yachts are not by any means small affairs. They are 90 feet long, being a good deal larger than the ship that Columbus crossed the sea in. and a thousand f - times finer. PAPAL DEMOCRACY. For the masses of mankind a sym pathetic chord is struck in the notes concerning the humble origin and lowly family ties of the new pope. The papacy has always been an es sential democratic institution. Questions of birth and breeding, even if they ever entered into the selection of the incumbent for the chair o St. Peter, appear to play no part therein nowadays. Here is a good man who has arisen from far down toward the base of the social HLi i. ami in mi linn a n i n i nnJ ; 14.
