GOLDSBORO, N. C, August 15, 1907.
PflESEM AND FUTURE.
There is folly in the pessimistic idea
or nrediction that business is on the
decline, when it is shown that the
railroads of this country are hauling
more freight than they did a year ago;"
that the people are buying more, and
the mills and mines are producing
more.
Iu the United States the home de
mand is enormous. Tins country pro
duces 40 per cent ot the world's iron
and 42 per cent of its steel, but this
does not meet the bomedemand. There
wit $740,000,000 of manufactures ex
ported last fiscal year, of which iron
mi'l .-teel furnished a considerable part,
').! nor withstanding the expansion in
the n.tmt)er and the capacity of the
iro iiiid steel works ot the country
t.in.v ire unable to supply all the or
ders which tLey recei ve, and foreign
lumaces and mills aie being drawn
upon, thus establishing a large import
list of these goods.
Not many y-ars ago the United
K'-sU'S wns third or fourth in the list in
-o.ii. i t and steel production, while
iud.-y tire in tlie lead.
The aggregate value of the agricul
tural products of this country in 190(3
mi- y $7,000,000,000, which was
li-:td ot any two countries in the
world.
1 ee tacts and figures speak most
wiciviraijiiialy for the future of our eii
tire country, but especially for this
Southland of ours for it is this
SHction to which the eyes of the finan-
eiai -iitaitutaiui ing ana consuming
world are i);-in turned.
Tbeieis only one tiling lacking to
bring about an immediate consumma
tion oft lie hjippy conditions hoped for
and certain to come to the south and
that is labor. The field is here, but the
ialoi'rs are too few. The farms, the
mills nd othe lai.or employing: enter
prises are calling loudly for labor, and
the only solution is the encourage
ment of immigration. The call for
"help" all along the line is loud and
persisted.

Electricians of Chicago Join
Telegraphers.
Still Demanding Eight Hiurs as a Day's
Service and Fifteen Per Cent.
Wage Increase.
I (By Special Wire to the Argus.)
Chicago, Aug. 17 The Electricians
here have joined in the telegraphers'
strike, being ordered out this morning
as the result of some complications and
on account of general sympathy with
the strikers. Other trades unions are
today threatening to follow.
President Small this morning issued
a statement giving what he. says are
two necessary essentials tOj win viz.'
the raising of a two million dollar fund
in sixty days, which has been started
to sustain the strikers; and the getting
away from keys of every operator not
working under contract.
With this accomplished he says that
their demand for 8 hours a day service
and 15 per cent increase must be com
plied with.

Atlantic City, Aug 14, 1907.
Editor Argus.
Dear sir:
I will go up to Philadelphia tomorrow,
so you may discontinue my Argus.
One bates to leave here. The weather
is delightful, the surf bathing superb,'
and I am freeto say there is only one
Atlantic City in the world.
Yours truly,

Col. Redding Greatly Pleased With
fne Spirit Manifested in" The
Farmers' Institute.
Raleigh News and Observer.
Col. K. J. Redding, long director of
the Experiment Station in Georgia, and
well known agricultural writer and
lecturer, spent yesterday in llaleigh.
He has been in this State since the 17th
of July, speaking once or twice every
day at Farmers' Institutes in various
parts of the State. He is greatly pleas
ed, witu tue spirit ot progress ana co-1
operation manifested by the North
Carolina farmers. "I wish we had the
same spirit in Georgia," he said last
night, "tor it is an inspiration to all
who are interested in agricultural de
velopment."
Col. Redding had just returned from
Jonesboro where he attended a Farm
ers' Institute. He said that over 200
farmers, intelligent and progressive,
were present and it was a meeting that
did him much good. He says it means
better farming for that country.
Col. Redding left in the afternoon for
Kinston and other points in Eastern
North Carolina. The series of insti-
utes will close at Enfield, when Col.
Redding will join his wife at Norfolk.
He is the superintendent of the Geor
gia Building at the Jamestown Exposition.

VISITORS FROM AFRICA.
Lieutenant-Governor of Ala
bama Denounces Fed
eral Judge.
But Gray is Not a Lawyer Neither Is
He Conversant With the Sworn
Duties of a JudgeHe
is Simply a Pol
itician. (Special to the Argus.)
Montgomery, Aug. 16. Lieut.-Gov-
ernor Henry Gray, who, in the absence
of Governor Comer from the State, is
"sitting on the lid" in the executive
office in the capacity of Governor, to
day gives out an interview in which he
criticises' and scores Judge Jones, of
the federal court, in severest language
for issuing the restraining order re
ported in these dispatches yesterday,
and which enjoins State and County
officials of Alabama from serving pen
al processes on the L. & N. railway em
ployees pending a settlement of the
contested new rate law in that State.
Acting Governor Gray among other
things declares that no such drastic or
outrageous order as that issued by
Judge Jones ever emanted from the
Bench even in reconstruction times,
and that federal Judges are responsible
to no one, neither God nor man, being
appointed for life.and are indifferent to
the popular will or public censure.
Mr. Gray is not a lawyer nor con
versant with tfie sworn duties of fed
eral Judges, who are presumed to be,
in the conscientious discharge of their
duties, just what Lit. Gov. Gray, the
politician, charges as a fault indiffer
ent to the popular will or public cen
sure. That is why, in thewisdom ot
the constitution, they are appointed
for life, that they may be responsible
to no one for their official acts.
