Bodenhaowr today at th e great lad sale in East Goldsboro at prices ranging Irom 35 to $400, A lot was sold every two minutes to the highest bidder, regardless of the price. Bidding was rapid and snappy, show ing a large demand foruhe property that will be a great residential section upon the completion of the trolley line. Men from far and near were present and scrambled to place a bid especial -y at the sale of the lots on Royali and Norwood avenues. Many ladies pur chased lots, atid were glad of the op portunity. This great Jland sale will long be re membered in the real estate history of Ooldsboro as a(J Red Letter Day, and on which means much for the future growth ot our enterprising city. Early that morning persons were eonveyed by hack and automobiles to the "Landslide", and promptly at 11 o'clock Mr. K. T. Oliver delivered the opening shot of this great auction hat- BLOODTHIRSTY.

BRYAfy BREST ED Texas Game Warden liets Atler Eim For Shooting Ducks. William Jennings Bryan fell inte the hands of a game warden of Texas on Wednesday when he and three other hunters were arrested at Lake Sur prise, the famous game preserve el Banker Moody, ol Galveston, in Cham bers county. Bryan, Moody, and two friends were charged with having violated the state game law by killing more than 25 fowls each. The laws limit the num ber of ducks to be killed by one per son to 25 in 24 hours. More than 150 dead ducks testified to the work of the.four men up to the time the game warden appeared. Then it was sworn that Bryan had really killed but a fewcanvass-backs.- Moody and the other two himrods pleaded guilty and accepted the penalty, tho fine being $25 each. tie. Than Col.

At 1 p. m, 60 lots had been said at an average price of $125. A rush was made for tickets to secure a chance on the free lot. - A small boy was selected from the crowd to diw the coupons and Milford Ay- cock, ot Pikeville, was the holder of the tacky pasteboard. At the conclu sion of the sale, late this afternoon, a bag -of silver money was scattered mong the crowd. This sale demonstrates that "We Go Forward,1" and that Goldsboro is rap idly advancing in line of the great city of Eastern North Carolina. The read iness with which these lots were pur chased speaks more for Goldsboro than anything else. Where men have their money -invested, there will they locate. T. C. Gardner was the winner of the $10 gold piece, which was chanced off, The second $10 gold peice was won by Mr. Sutton. Two more lots were given away late this afternoon. Reflections of Uncle Ezra.

There is Something More in Truth Than Mere Fact. "I was glad to read the remarks of the noted rabbi, Dr. Hirsh, of Chicago, in which he ridiculed those who would rob childhood of its illusions concern ing Santa Claus," said a prominent citizen. "Parents are blind," declared the rabbi, "to take away from their children's lives the charm of expecta tion." And never were truer words spoken. From time to time cranks and Pharisaical persons., and a few men and women of little minds, start a protest agai-ust Santa Claus, but the heart of the great mass is right, and old Santa will remain to brigtften life to the end of time. There is something more in truth than mere fact, as ad intelligent, right minded people know, and to disillus ion little boys and girls who hang up their stockings would be not only heartless, but would add not a whit to moral truth.

The earnest efforts now being made by the citizens of Charlotte to get their town out ot the old islipsliod, petty politics, style of eovernaien, is to be i highly commended and to be watched with great interest bv other North Carolina towns, practically allof which needs an injection ot swme life-giving virus. Charlotte has taught us many good things, and if she can now take the lead in a real revolutionary relorm j of municipal government her example! will be. a benefit to the whole State. Wo shall watch Charlotte's effort with great interest, and could the voice of this paper be heard it would be lifted to implore the people -of that good eity to rise to tlieir opportunities in this thing, lay aside the small matters of rtisagreement, ad shew beyond doubt that the people of a community an rise in patriotic devotion to the public wel fare and civie duty high enough to drown all, personal selfishness and lit tleness. Such example would bo an in spiration. There are just two things that make town government a farce. One is the selfishness of a tew people who aro out to get all rdvantago they can. Tbe other is the indifference or supinese of the great majority oi the people.

Wilson, ef Baltimore, Presiding at the Annual Con ference of Eastern North Carolina. The hosts ot tho Methodist obureb arc encamaed in Durham, where the annual Comerence of Eastern North Carolina is being held in Trinity church, with Bishop A. W. Wilson, ol Baltimore, In the chair. A roll call ot the delegates, showed 139 of tho ISO clerical delegation, and 20 of tbe S6 laymen, present. Rev. E. H. Davis Was appointed, a member of the Com mittee on Conference Relations. The annual sermon was delivered Wednesday night by Rev. W. H Moore, presiding elder oi the Rocking ham district, who took as his theme the narrative of Nicademns, "Jesus I answered ami said unto him, verily, verily I-sny unto you, except a man be born again, he cannot seethe King dom of God." Tfaeie was some debate yesterday morning over the proposition to list each church property separately. Last year an order was passed making it obligatory to make out separate re ports for every church property. If there was one refractory congregation, it went to the credit "or discredit of the pastor whereas the listing ot property altogether would bring up the average so that -ail districts would pass with no discredit to a single church. The first vote yesterday carried the separate list tng proposition, there was a move for reconsideration and by a vote of "72 to 67 tie order was reversed, sfcfc&aJ CENSUS EXTRAVAGANCE. It Is ReasoaaljlyJSafe taSay, Enumerate Us For An Amount Kot Exceeding $1,000,000. Now we are told that it will cost more than fourteen millions of "dollars to enumerate us in the year 19 W.

About all of value the takingef the census produce da ithe ascertaickmen t of bow many there aro of us. ' Tfao Bu reau, however, has oomo to ooftoct a mass ot statistics in connection with the taking of the census which asre ot no real value to any body. Then a great book is printed which is stale before it is issued and. is read by nobody. It is pretty safe to say that all th mass of the people gained through th taking of the census of 1900 is tli knowledge of how many people therj are in this country. Unless memory is at fault, the population has changec greatly belore this ascertainment by the Census Bureau reached print. At the present rate, the taking of tbr census will cost one-tenth as much as the first estimated cost of digging the Panama Canal. It is almost a useless expense and the great sum spent is practically wasted. It really is it shameful and indefensible waste of the people's substance, against which they should protest. BROWNSVILLE AGAIN Senator Lodge AnRouLces That He Proposes to Speak on the Mat ter Next Wednesday. Washington, Dec. 11. Shortly after the Senate convened yesterday Sena tor Lodge gave notice that he will speak on the Brownsville affray on Wednesday next. On motion of Mr3 LXale,the Senate agreed. Jo adjourn un-; G. Vickers and J . A. Martin. A mc til next Monday, " v tion was made to place Mr. Barnett at .v - Annual Conference of Third Day of Great Convention Filled Wjth Routine Work. Delivered The Social Event was the noon. Given By Trinity College and Trus tees to Conference and Visitors. The morning session of Thursday's conference appeared to the outsider-or the nondescript without event of note, but there was preparation for an in teresting incident until the name ot Rev. W. H. Li. McLaurin was with drawn from the conference. The action was taken by Presiding Elder R. F' Burapass, of the Newton district. Through him the credentials were surrendered and Mr. McLaurin is no longer a member of the Methodist o.lercrv. He did not appear to make protest against the action, though dele gates were here to make testimony in the matter that would have been tried before the conference during its, sess sion here. No suggestion of the differences be tween the pastor and the pastor ate, is made in the settled matter, xi is such a rare occurrence with the Methodist conferences in the State and is noteworthy for that very reason. The session opened yesterday morr- ing with devotions by Rev. J. K. Un derwood. A roll call showed repletea ranks and the delegates still come. Some are alternates who are taking tne places of the regulars occasionally called home and the church is more nearly crowded than ever. Rev. Dr. Li. Li. Nash early in the session moved that there be extended fraternal greet- , ings to the brethren of Wilson in the Baptist state convention and preparing the context, itiwas wired, with unani mous agreement of the body. Rev. C. P. Snow, wno had lost his credentials by fire, asked that they be given ihim again. Rev. W. S. Rone, speaking for Rev. R. D. Daniel, asked the conference to discontinue the rela tions ot Mr. Daniel with the church at his own request. There is nothing against Mr. Daniel and no reason why he may not have resumed relations with the conference had. he chosen to do ao. The first year men were called to be advanced to tho seoond and tho class appearing was composed ot Messrs. N. W. Dargan, H. B.Snonoe.H. K. Lance, Charles B. Vale, W. C. Martin, H. P. Reade, J. J. Booth and W. E. Tretisan. Mr. F. 8. Love, who formerly belonged to this confereneef -has been transferred to the Western North Carolina Coafer ence and is now -holding a pulpit in that division. Two local preachers were nominated deacons and one was elected older. Messrs. Georgo H. Briggs. and O. P. Smith were admitted from the Pro testant Methodist fold and will work under elders orders. The appearance of Rev. Dr. T. N. Ivey, editor of the Christian "Advocate, gave opportunity to hearing an in teresting report concerning the condi tion of the conference organ. Dr. Ivey has bern striving ior the,: 10,000 mark and would perhaps have readied it but for the ruling of the postal departments last spring whereby a subscriber in certain arrearages is dropped from the list. The 10,000 subscribers he be liftves will eotne within a short time. The long delayed question 20, having tQ do with the the character of the ministers, was again brought up and the remaining districts passed as far as the alloted time would allow them to proceed. Rev. R. L. Davis, whose anti saloon league connection is a matter of history in the recent successful fight, was before the conference and heard. He said the election had been won but that the real fight had hardly started. He asked for all the energies of the people in enforcing the law which an tagonists would render a dead letter if possible. He declared that the law of itself could do nothing and that a strong, healthful public sentiment must back it up. The act as it now stands is simply against the sale and manufacturer of the stuff. In answer to question 6, "Who are admitted on trial?" the foilowihg were named: W. A. Stanbury, E. E. Bar- net, 0. B. Culbretb W. J. Watson, T. $1.00 aYear. NO. 71 ethodists, Bishop Wilson Address. . Reception Friday After- the headol the Y. M. C. A. work Chapel Hill. The laymen's movement was given a cusory outline and the story ef its beginning told. It was in a Filth avow nue hotel in New Yerk city, popularly supposed to be a choice I recruiting ground for Old Nick, that some bus. iness men interested in the cause ot missions conceived this plan . tit was inaugurated in 1906 but its first rea work, that which made the public sit up and take notice, to use the old term, was at Chattanooga in 1907. At this convention Mr. w. is. Stubles was elected secretary of the wboleSoutbern Methodist church. Toe other Metho dist conferences rapidly feliinto line and last year in New Bern the move ment was sprung in this State. The laymen of the North Carolina confer ence effected an organization and went to woik with General Julian S. Carr president. A 'ay leader for each, district was appoint d and the results of their labors were brought out yes-, terday. About eighty of the delegates met in the Y. M. C. A. After the secretary, Dr. Lambert, called theJmeetine to or-. der and started it to work, he turned it over to General Cair, the secretary conducting the devotional exercises. Reports indicated fair growth and Gen eral Can's 350 invaluable letters sent out had shown invisible good. There have been issued also 3,500 circulars. The devotion of General Carr to the movement with which he has become so prominently identified has had much, to do with the success of the first real year of work. Everybody who at tended says this has been the finest of tbe church items yet going outforpnb-. lication. The last Inch oi of Methodist space was takenjThurBday night when. Bish op A. W. Wilson addressed tho Sp worth League at Trinity - ebureb and stirred the thousands to their soul depths. There was something masterful u the preacher's words, o One minister in his desoription of it said, "we have been carried nearer heaven than we have been at any time.' That was th feeling of every man whose heart was? pierced and insensate the Methodise must have been who .did . not ,fpiTow him inbis simple style, yet ponderous thought, . Miss Lizzie R. Hancock gwas intio duced to the conference as tho aeersta-ry-treasurer of the conference organi zation of the Epwortb League and read her report. The reeord is that of sixty leagues in this conference, but only thirty were available for presentation to the con ference. The total membership is 1, 894, and the number received into the organization the past year was 636. Sixteen leagues have been organized. The devotional department has been at work. There have been held 613 meeiiugs and 88 cottage prayer meet ings. The conversions in these weie nine ami comrades of quiet hour four teen. These terms are familiar to those of the faith. The charity and help department has practised the re ligion which the Apostle pronounced pure and undefiled. There have been 3,829 visits to the sick and 432 strangers ere ol-jects of those visitations. The good people entered the jails and hos pitals and ministered unto 78. The social event of the Conference was the reception given Friday after noon between the hours of 4 and 5:30 o'clock of Trinity Collegeand the trus tees to the Conference and ministers. The college girls served th re freshments and made the reception a genuine delight. The memorial of Rev. Charles R. Taylor, tbe only memberto die the pas year, was read by Rev. R. L. Davis.
