C, Jan. 31. The de termination of President Roosevelt to appoint a nefro surveyor of customs at i Cincinnati to succeed Amor Smith, Jr., ! former mayor ot the eUy, has aroused amused interest among Southern Dem ocrats in Congress. It is understood that the President will nominate Ralph Tyler, of Colum bus, for the place. In this way he will work revenge on Senator Foraker, who has so faithfully espoused the cause of the blacks during the discussion of the Brownsville a Hair in the Senate. The Ohio Senator has been looking for a candidate lor this job for some weeks, out he had not the slightest idea of recommending a negro, despite the fact that the normal 50,000 Republican majority in Ohio represent the total of .the colored vote cast in that State. It is interesting to hear the com- ments of Northern Republicans with respect to this appointment. They de clare that the President is trying to force a carpet-bag negro on the people of Ohio. They talk under their breath, for they know it will never do to defeat , the confirmation of a negro appointed to a 5,000 job on the recommendation - of Booker Washington. Southern Senators, in discussing the . matter today said that if the Browns ville agitation resulted in nothing more, it will accomplish good if it in duces the President te extend the ap pointment ot negro office-holders to the North. Senator Tillman expressed his vigor- - ous approval of the appointment. "I wish the President would name a dozen in as many cities of the North, and give these long-distance negro sympathizers ' a chance to accord the negro the 'fair play' that they prescribe so liberally for Southern people." days.

Three satisfactory talesmen were found to re place the excused jurors, so that when the rapidly shifting situation underwent a survey at tne close ot tne clay tnere were again eleven men in the jury box; the same number that had been seated at the close of yesterday's session. Rumors were current tonight that the end ot the jury changes is not yet in sight and that further chapters may be added to what has already become an unprecedented record in criminal procedure in New York city.

The many irientls of Hon. Edwin Kerr, of Clinton, will regret to learn that he met with an accident yester day afternoon in which his leg was broken. He came to Raleigh Tuesday on business of a legal nature, and was stopping at the Capitol Inn. Yester day afternoon about two o'clock he started down stairs at the hotel and when near the bottom of the stairway, he fell, breaking both bones of the left leg just above the ankle. Rev. F. Pope, proprietor of the hotel, heard a noise on the stairway and went down to find Mr. Kerr in a sitting posture, but helpless. Mr. Pope 'phoned at once for an ambu lance, and the injured man was taken quickly to the Rex Hospital, where Drs. J. R. Rogers and II. A. Royster were called and set the bones. He was getting along well last night. He had intended to leave for his home on east bound train at 5:39. Train Plunges Into River. Raleigh, Feb. 1. The Seaboard Air Line bridge over the Roanoke river near Norlina, N. C, gave way this after noon undera double-hearder freight train bound South from Richmond. Both locomotives and 12 freight,, cars dropped into the river. Engineer Curtis Constable, whose home was Union HillN. J., was so badly injured that he died while being brought to this city. Fireman Riggan was killed. The ' bridge is a complete wreck. Several days will be required to repair it.

" Ible. . nev. Dr. T. N. Ivey, Editor of The Methodist Orqan Rinqs Clear In Behalf of Fair Play and Also Public Courtesy. The Argtts cannot too strongly com mend the following editoral from this week's issue of the Methodist , Chris tain Advocate, published from Raleigh. Its lesson is one that it behooves the preachers to promulgate, and Dr; Ivey has proved himself equal to the task and, that he has the courage of his con victions. Here it is: " 'It used to be in North Carolina that a gentleman was considered a gentle man until he was proven otherwise. Now it seems that a gentleman must take oath that he is one before he has half a chance.' These words in sub stance came a few. evenings ago from the lips of one of North Carolina's most trusted sons. "What evoked the utterance, we do not know. It may have been the spec tacle, witnessed only a few hours be fore, ef a high official, a kindly court eous Christian gentleman appearing before a committee and failing to im press the committee with his truthful ness as to a certain statement made until he had taken the Holy Bible and on it sworn that he was actually tell ing the truth. Or, it may have been the spectacle witnessed only a few min utes before of a certain committeeman expressing his opposition to granting editors of newspapers the privilege of making advertising contracts with rail roads in exchange for transportation, on the ground that editors might lie and cheat in the way of allowing their transportation to be used by those not entitled to the privilege. "Each spectacle was certainly suffici ent to call forth the earnest words quoted. It is that the tone of public confidence ha? been lowered beneath the point at which legitmate trust and lesrtimate watchfulness maintain a healthy balance.. Watchfulness has de generated unto general suspicion, which, green-eyed and rabid, is' raven ing among the men and women form ing the body politic. " 'The flagrant shortcomings and crimes of corporative activity in the last few decades,' you say, '"have brought about this alarming decay in public confidence.' We admit these shortcomings and crimes. Some life in surance companies have proven un worthy of their charters. Banks have failed. Railroads have overridden their privileges. Patriots have proven only politieans, and of a very sorry variety. Honest upright underlings have become degenerate millionaires. But all this has happened in principle since corporate humanity began to ex ercise its faculties, and the world is as good at least today as it was a thousand years ago. We pity the man who honestly thinks otherwise. "We have no more right to argue from a general to a particular in public and private living than in ldgic "Life insurance companies may go wrong, but this does not argue against the legitimacy of the business, and the fact that a life insurance man may not be true and honest. Railroads may plunder and oppress, but this does not mean that every railroad is rotten and that all railroad officials are embodiments of craftiness and extortion. Bank offi cers may defraud, but the fact does not prove that the "salt of the earth" may not be found behind the cashier's win dow. Officials. - national, state and municipal, may prostitute their high position to low political and commer cial purposes, but this does not mean that every man in office is tqjbe re garded as corrupt. Because a man who has gained a great' wealth has made a tyrant or fool of himself is no reason why we should take up and send on the anarchistic cry that every rich man is living on dishonest gains. Because the civic and commercial decalogue differs in the ease of some from the decalogue of Sinai, is no reason why wre should conclude that the whole civic and com mercial world has lost sight of the latter. "Give us a clear eye quick to detect the wrong ; the listening ear ready to catch the false note in private word and pub- THE REST CRITERION. GOOD FOR RICHMOND. Screen Ordinance Effective To-day. Barkeepers Will Be Fined Heavily if the Law is Not Com plied With. Richmond Times Dispatch, Jan. 31. With just twenty-four hours left within which to comply with the pro visions of the Umlauf early closing or dinance, hardly a saloon in the city has yet removed its screens, ground glass, stained glass or other opaque windows, obsuring the view of the in terior of such places of business. Un less this is done by midnight Friday, . every saloon, hotel bar or restaurant and saloon failing to comply with the terms ol the ordinance will become lia ble to a fine of from 100 to 500. It will be the duty of the police to arrest or report every proprietor. The law specifically prescribes that no screen, blind, shutter, curtain, par tition or painted, ground or stained glass window or door, or any other ob- -struction shall be permitted in any place where liquor is sold to be drunk where sold. It will be almost a physical impossi bility for every saloon in the city to make the necessary alterations to com ply with the law within the limited time left. The carpenters and glaziers will have to work overtime to make the various saloons comply with the law by Friday midnight. The ordi- In fact, it has been so long since Golds-J nance was approved by the maj'or De cember 18th, thus allowing six weeks or more within which to comply with its provisions.

Elsewhere in this issue will be found statements of the Bank of Wayne and the National Bank, as called for, re spectively, by the State Corporation Commission and the United States Comptroller of the Currency. These statements, therefore, are not published purposely by these banks, as marking a particular red letter . period in their careers, but simply in response to the official calls. These statements must indeed be most gratifying to every thinking man and public spirited citizen in Golds boro and especially encouraging as to our city's outlook for the year ahead ot us, upon which we have barely en tered ; for such showings at this season ot the year, when money is usually stringent, are unprecedented, and can orily be accounted for on the basis that Goldsboro's trade during the past year was eminently profitable; and. this presumption is further sustained by the fact that there has not been a busi ness failure in the city during the year. boro had even so much as a modest business failure that we cannot now re call the time.
