C, THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 3i, ljfl. NO. 64 -f 1 " ! J "U- MEAIJS MUCH FOR US. Goldsboro's Manufacturing Enterprises Interested. A Linegaf Freight and Passenger 'Steamers Opened Between 'Norfolk and European Ports. Goldsboro'8 manufacturing enterpri ses are deeply interested in the open ing of a line of freight steamers be tween Norfolk and European ports.for it means much everything for the development of foreign trade for those factories already established and flour ishing here, and will be the strongest possible inducement to bring here large capital seeking advantageous indus trial investment. So that Goldsboro enters the new year as upon a new era bright with promise, if our people will but get together to avail themselves of the great opportunities that are im pending and foreshadowed. The Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch speaks of the first vessel of the new line as follows: "Yesterday was indeed a red letter day in Norfolk's calendar - for on that day came in the Norwegian steamer Texas, Captain Pedersen, command ing, and a regular freight and passen ger steamship line between this port and Europe became an established fact. "For many, many years it has been the dream of the people of this section to secure such resuljut until the Tex as came, all efforts were vain. There are of course many freighters wSoh load here tor the other side and bring freight here, but never before has a steamer brought passengers from across the big sea. "The Texas brought three passengers for Norfolk, American seamen return ing home and has some fourteen others aboard, destined for Havana and Vera Cruz, Mexico. She brought on her maiden voyage 155 tons of freight for Norfolk and a considerable lot for ports at which she will touch later. "She is a new steel ship with capac ity of some 5,000 tone, and is finely fit ted for first class, second class and steerage passengers. She is larger than the steamers of the Old Dominion line, and although not a racer, can make the run from this port to Norway in about two weeks, which is fast enough for reasonable people. "She lies at .Lambert's Point mer chandise pier today discharging cargo and will later coal and will proceed to morrow for Havana, "Vera Cruz, Gal veston, Norfolk, England and Cbris tiania. "She is consigned to the United States Shipping Company, Norfolk. "The two other steamers which the G. M. Bryde interest has built for this trade will follow the Texas, and it is xpected that a ship will come here every six weaks oroftener. It was ex plained that the line must get business here if it is to continue to operate and the first voyage will entail great loss upon the eompany for the reason - that the port charges are as. heavy this voy age as they would be were the steamer loaded to capacity. "It is hoped ttiat the railway lines reaching Norlolk may give their aid to ward building up the business and it is known that there is plenty of freight to be had here il the railways are minded to give it to the new line. The port, too; is excellently located for the gath ' enng nere oi a considerable passenger traffic, of persons who want good, safe, but not extravagant accommodations. "It is anticipated that .when the tact that the steamers are lo sail between NortolK, Cuba, Mexico, Galveston and England and Norway shall be adver tised, then not only a good . freight but also a large passenger trad will be se cured." OUR INLAND WATERWAY. Distinguished Party Left Norfolk Yesterday Morning for Beau fort, N. C. Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch. Several of the officers and prominent men of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways' Association yesterday morning about 11 o'clock on the yachts Mercury, at tached to the United States Engineer's office at Wilmington, N. C, and Mc Gregor, attached to the Engineer's of fice here, left for a tour ol inspection of the inland waterway, now in the course of construction near Beaufort, N.C. In the party are several distinguish ed men, among whom are Congress man J. Hampton Moore, ol Philadel phia, president of the Waterways' As soeiation; Congressman John H. Small, of North Carolina; Addison B. Burke, of Philadelphia, seoretary of the asso ciation; Edgar C. Snyder, of Washing ton, D. C; Colonel Fred A. Olds, of Raleigh, N. C; Captain Earl I. Brown, U. S. Engineering Corps,, and Major Joseph E. Kuhn, in charge of the En gineer's office here. Beaufort will probably be reached some ' time tonight inasmuch as the small craft will make but little 'speed through the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal. Photographs of the progress made in the betterment of the waterways will be taken and a thorough inspection made of the work. Several days will be consumed in the tour. It is not likely that the party will re turn to Norfolk, but leave Beaufort by rail for Philadelphia. Congressman Moore, Mr. Burke and Mr. Snyder arrived In Norfolk yester day morning by way of the Norfolk & Washington Steamboat Company. Before leaving Congressman Small said that the work is progressing rap idly in the southern end of the water way, but there still remains about five miles of solid ground to be cut away before it is complete. The points to be visited by the party include Roanoke Island ' and Adams Creek, where the canal vill empty into the Neuse river.' - TILL THE RESUR RECTION MORN. Remains of Lacy Shannon Baxter Laid to lest Tuesday In Willow Dale. The remains of the late Mrs. Liicy Shannon Baxter, beloved young wife of Mr. W. I. Baxter, accompanied by her heart broken husband, brother Jack and other relatives and a number of devoted friends from Wilmington, arrived at noon Tuesday, and were met at the depot by a large concourse of our citizens with all of whom she was a personal favorite, and who are deep ly grieved at her all-too-untimely death. From the depot the remains wert borne to St. Stephen's Episcopal ohuroh, where the solemn services were conducted by Rev. W, E. Cox, rector of the church she attended in Wil mington, - and the hymns rendered were favorites of the lamented de ceased, the old pipe organ - being used, instead or the new, as it was this organ she played when organist of St. Stephen', prior to her moving to Wil mington. The church was thronged with sorrowing friends, and the teem ing floral tributes, both from friends here and in Wilmington were most beautiful and touching. The remains were interred beside her late mother in beautiful Willow Dale, the following friends of her youth and school days acting as pall bearers: Messrs. Edgar Bain, Richard Spicer, C. J. Griswold, Paul Yelver ton, George Freeman and Dr. E. C. Viton. . . ; - EUREKA HAPPENINGS. HELD FOR COURT. Committed To Jail.

Bailey was dead. Mrs. Bailey was MfrVs Mary Yelverton; ' was born and reared near here. She- was , much loved by all who knew her. She leaves a devoted husband and eight children, seven sons and one daughter, two brothers and tour sisters, and a host of relatives and friends. Mrs. Bailey was 47 years, 8 months and 20 days old. She was married in November 1881. She has been a loyal and faith ful member of the Methodist church at Eureka for 16 years. xSe was truly a good woman, and will be sadly missed. Our sympathy goes out tothe bereaved family r especially, ters. MUNICIPAL GRA An American city wholly tree from graft would be a city in which the Amerfcan city dweller did his whole duty as a cltizeh. No American city is equipped with an electorate of that sort. The average urban voter neg lects his public duties and the profes sional politician steps in and the reign f graft is soon inaugurated. Of late San Francisco has led the cities of graft, its legislature and its executive head being alike corrupt. The Ruef-Schmitz trials have driven out its grafters,' but in the course of time they will return, for the Ameri can oity dweller will not do his duty. Pittsburg now steps into the lime light, and. pretty soon it will be some other city. All are .lull of graft be cause the voter neglects his civic du ties, thereby bringing on himself addi tional burdens, for all graft in the end is taken from the pockets of tax pay ers every dollar of it. In Pittsburg no franchise of value was put through the city council with out paying the grafters their respective tolls. In one case $45,000 was divided among 60 councilmen. Seven coun oilmen and two bank officials have been arrested because the German Na tional bank handed over $17,500 in rder to become a city depository. The evidence is ample and n doubt they will be punished. But will it do much good? The Pittsburg man who neglected his civic duties is the one who should be miu- ished, for he made possible the situa tion in his city. He alone did it, in the last analysis. The true and real and efficient remedy cannot be readily devised. The man who does not vote should be punished in some manner the man who is not alert when munici pal questions are before ttie p- eple. The problem is a difficult one, and thus far the Americau people have not been equal to its solution.

Nov. 15.j 1908: ow THE KING OF DIAMONDS HAS LICENSE TAKEN AWAY. Alleged Bogus Gem Man Rails at Newspapers, BURLINGTON, IA.. Nov, 14. For some time past newspapers in Iowa cities have been re porting the operations of a man whom they called "The King of Diamonds." It appears that there was nothing criminalin his operations, which consisted in selling ''phoney diamonds, but his methods of procedure were not exactly according to the rules. He usually drops into a job bing house and tells of meeting such and such a representative of the house on the road and sell ing him a diamond, to be delivered at the store. He explains that the diamond is only an imita tion, and offers to sell anybody else around the place the satre thing. Thus he works up an in terest and usually succeeds in selling some of his glassware. Mr. Jack of Diamonds dropped into City Auditor Norton 's office one morning and secured a license to sell his wares. He had only been out a short time, however, until Chief of Polic Hiltz learned of him. Calling in the peddler, he relieved him of his license and gave him back the money he had paid for it. As the man had committed no crime he was released. He was bitter against the newspapers for injuring his business. If yon want to wear a simulation diamond, to the ordinary observer almost like unto a gem of the purest ray serene, a fitting substitute for the genuine; or if yon want to make money, don't wait ACT TO-DAY. as this advertisement may not appear, nor this nnusual and extraordinary op portunity occur, again.
