Superintendents of Southern Cotton Oil Company Goldsboro Iistrict Make Manifest Their Appre ciation of Retiring Chief. Daily Argus, Tuesday. An incident took place in this city last night which while in the nature of an absolute surprise to the one chiefly interested was well matured and carried out without the slightest hitch by the promoters of the pleas ant affair. Some weeks ago Mr. Frank K. Borden, whose individual milling, farming and banking interests have eome to require his entire time, ten dered his resignation as manager for the Southern Cotton Oil Company of the Goldsboro District, embracing a number of important oil and fertili zer mills. The company was loath to accept his resignation, but there was no alternative, and consequently his younger brother Mr. E. B. Bor den, Jr., who has long been associat ed with the company, was named as his successor. But regret at parting with Mr. Borden was not confined to those who constitute the company proper, f but it was, if anything, even greater 7yith the employees of the company n Mr. Borden's own district, with i wlforn he came in more frequent and jeloser contact and who had learned to know him at his real worth. And - so yesterday afternoon, in accordance j j. with a concerted appointment among I? themselves, they began to assemble in this city upon incoming trains from all over the territory, and a re quest was sent to Mr. F. K. Borden inviting him to come to the manager's office at 8 o'clock yesterday even ing; and when Mr. Borden came, at the above hour, he was confronted and cordially greeted by the follow ing , managers, book-keepers and superintendents of the mills of the Southern Cotton Oil Company in the territory of the Goldsboro District over which he had presided: Messrs. J. W. Ashburn, Tarboro; N. E. Edgerto, W. H. Call, M. F. Nordon, Selma; J. D. Dawes, J. I. Morgan, Wilson; J. A. Moore, E. M. Davenport, Fayetteville; J. H. Westbrook, J. P. Shearin, J. S. Hoard, Bocky Mount; F. J. Daw son, Conetoe; P. Bowen, "Wallace; E. B. Borden, Jr., W. K. Stanley, L. B. Poole, Geo. B. Bynum and H. E. King, C. F. Taylor, Goldsboro. The purpose of the gathering was not long in doubt with Mr. Borden, who was taken completely by sur prise. Conspicuous in the room stood a magnificent parlor cabinet, a glit t. tering "thing of beauty" under the brilliant electric lights, superbly de signed, handsomely carved and richly mounted. This Mr. J. W. Ashburn, of the Tarbopo mill, who acted as spokesman, presented to Mr. Borden in words that gave sin cere expression to the sentiment that prompted the lovely gitt. lie was followed by Mr. N. E. Edgerton, of the Selma mill; and then in fitting words, brief but earnestly and elo quently spoken, Mr. Borden gave . expression to his appreciation of their friendship, of which he had al ways been sensible, of their gener ous gift, and of his abiding regret at having to retire from active associa tion with them, but, he assured them, he would ever be interested in and alive to their affairs and hap piness. As the Argus man listened to him, and knowing him from our boyhood together, we felt that no honor was ever more worthily be stowed, nor was ever a loving testi monial accepted by a man with a kinder heart and a nobler nature than Frank K, Borden, whose gen erous hand, in a most modest way, has been busy with the doing of good deeds since he first entered within the portals of his young man hood. In the business world, with saga cious perception of the laws of trade, full of energy and enterprise seasoned with godd judgment, all crowned with absolute honesty and fair dealing with every man, success has come to him, and in the prime of his life he is engaged in large farming opera tions, is vice president of that grand old institution the Bank of Wayne, and has in hand the management of the two large cotton mills of the Bor den Manufacturing Company, which give employment to many hands men, women and children thereby prospering the whole community. No wonder the Southern Cotton Oil Company deeply regretted to ac cept the resignation of Mr. Borden as manager of a large territory, with many important mills, and no won der the large number of intelligent and congenial men subordinate to him desired to give substantial ex pression to their appreciation and love for the man whose pleasure it has always been to do justly by them and to promote tir happiness and prosperity. A silver plate within the cabinet bears the following inscription: "F. K. BOBDEN From Managers, Book-Keepers and Super intendents Southern' Cotton Oil Company, Golds boro District. August 22, 1904."

FOIEYSKIMEYCUIS ESakes KItinsya and Bladder BlnM Flit K THIS MORNING. Four Buildings Completely de stroyed and Other Iam utfe Ione. Monday's Daily Argus. The alarm of fire turned in from box 01, this afternoon at 1:15 o'clock was occasioned by the burning of four small wooden buildings about one block north of the Felt Mattress factory. The fire originated in a house be longing to Jeff Hawkins, a black smith, who works for Mr. Don Scott. How it caught is not known, but it is said that one of Hawkins children spilt some kerosene oil on the floor which became ignited. It had been burning some time before discovered and had gained such headway that it was almost impossible to do any thing with it. At the place where the fire origi nated the houses are very thick, and soon another caught fire. By this time the heat from the burning buildings, together with the scorching rays of the sun, was some thing awful, and it was almost im possible to stai.d anywhere infight ing distance of the fire. Notwith standing the intensity of "the heat our brave firemen and a number of citizens rushed in and fought the flames to the best of their ability, with the perspiration streaming from, their brows and not & dry thread on their , backs, but 'they were power -yuufangaou wcsZyti account of not. having enough"' hosed to reach from the hydrant to the fire owing- to the distance, and a weak water pressure. The only thing lelt for them to do was to prevent the. flames from spreading, which they succeeded in doing. It was a terrible fire and at one time it looked as if the whole block would b-e completely wiped out, but the fact that it was unusually calm at that time was all that prevented a heavy loss. The first house burned, as stated above, belonged to Jeff Hawkins, and was ' completely destroyed to gether with all his furniture and house fixtures. The next house to catch on fire be longed to Isaac McLamb and this was completely destroyed with all its contents. Both of the above houses we:e owned by negroes, and'they had no insurance. ...'-"' The next two 'houses burned be: longed to Mr. Fred Parker and were occupied by John Carson and Wiley Clark, cofbred, and were insured for about two thirds of their value. These two families also lost nearly everything they had. , Each of the above' families had nice -gardens, which were ruined. . Besides other damage done, not reported, a nice field of cotton be longing to Mr. Andrew Mooring, near where the fire originated was badly damaged by being.scqrched by the fire and trampled under foot. The entire loss will amount to about $2,000. - There is no questioning the fact that Goldsboro has the best citizens, and the bravest fire companies in the State. While this fire occurred out side of the fire limits, yet our fire companies, and citizens generally re sponded to a finish at the peril of their lives, for it was a dangerous adventure, owing to the intensity of the heat arid they deserve credit "and thanks for their brvery. Colored Graded School. . The Goldsboro colored graded school will open Monday, week August 29th, for the term. The early opening is due to. the fact that the scfiool -closeg earlier than the white school in the spring, to give the children opportunity to pick peas and other early truck. The pffincipalRev. G. Dillard, urges the parents to send their child- jren prbmptly on the opening day. COTTON CKOl Will Break Record. Reports Re ceived at Census Rnreaii In dicate that 11K:$ Returns Will be Kxceeded. Washington, Aug. 17. Reports received at the census bureau indi cate that the cotton crop for the pres ent year will be the largest in the history of the United States, exceed -infi the returns for 1902, when more thrn 9,000,000 bales were produced.
