the Greater Goldsboro that the golden

Notwithstanding Senator Aldrich's
party wbip and strong speech and in
terested outside influence, it seems
that of sheer necessity, aside from its
palpable equity, an income tax clause
will be embodied in the new tariff bill
now under senatorial discussion.
Senator Bacon says the Aldrieh bill
as it stands would cause a deficit of
$60,000,000 in the coming fiscal "year.
Mr. Dalzell says it would create a de
ficit larger than the Payne bill by $20,
000,000 to $30,000,000. The Boston
Transcript puts the deficit under It at
$45,000,000, while Senator Rayner
thinks it would exceed $100,000,000.
The sanguine Mr. Aldrich stands alone
In thinking that his bill would keep
receipts up to expenditures.
In obedience to the Democratic cau
cus in the Senate, Senator Bailey
brings forward in this crisis an
lina.
"He was elected to the Senate of
the United States in 1876 and served
three N terms. He made an enviable
record there, where he always stood
for the best interests of the South and
faithfully upheld the traditions of
South Carolina;
"He was a major-general in the
United States army during the Spanish-American
war, and at the end of
that conflict became one of the Cuban
peace commissioners.
"No man in South Carolina was
held in more affectionate esteem, and,
although he had been in failing
health for a long time, his death is a
shock to the large circle of his devoted
friends."

Southern, should it enter the new sta- farmer and storekeeper, who was
tion, would be not mucn more man
$100 on the basis of one-third, as the
other roads are entering it now.
In addition to the expense of the up
town, it was said that every person
buying a Norfolk & Southern ticket
who has to" be transferred is charged
aHd extra 25 cents for transfer, and if
the passenger is transferred from oth
er roads it was stated that they the
roads themselves pay the transfer
charges. If the passenger should have
baggage there would be an extra
transfer charge of 25 cents. Figures
were given by the Norfolk & Southern
showing that there are annually 27,-
000 transfer passengers. The great
i volume of travel from Central and
found dead in his home on the morn
ing of March 24, last.
The jury deliberated but a short
time.
Jealousy was assigned as the mo
tive for the crime in that it was al
leged that Bigford was engaged to
have married a Miss Squires, of Bla
den county, for whose hand the pris
oner was a rival suitor.
