Conductor Will Coble, who was assaulted and robbed on tho streets of Goldsboro Sunday night, an account of which was published exclusively in The Re cord yesterday, arrived in the city atO.;r last iiijht on his reg ular run from Goldsboro. The story as printed in"" yesterday's Kecord was substantially what Capt. Coble says of his experi ence. Ho says ho was walking along: tho street leading to the Odd Fellows' Orphanage about 8 o'clock when a white man stepp ed up beside him and slapping him on the shoulder, told him he would walk down street with him. They hud not proceeded far when the man grappled with Capt. Coble and a negro came from behind and hit him on the neck with a club of some kind, staggering him. ' He was reliev ed of his watch, a purse contain ing $18 and a good pistol. A considerable scrimmage ensued, in which Capt. Coble received several cuts in his clothing with a knife. Fortunately, the Made did not xnetrate his flesh. He was stabbed once on bis left hand. Coble is confident he would know the men if he were to see them again and is of the opinion that they went from here to Goldsboro with him Sunday. Coble returned to Goldsboro this morning on his regular run. Greensboro Kecord. Jennie Smith started out in New York the other day to buy a pair of shoes.

Tburo are omo of tu who at times becotno weary, despondent, base or lired by reason of the tread miil, tho disappointments, the pleas ures of the routine of existence, and who, in the petulance of the tno tneot, express a distaste to livine any longer, but as rule most of the vast majority of humans, including the diesatisfiud ones, if confronted with chance to shuttle off without pain or without crime, would say j "Hold on; there are a few more things in this continuous show we would like to see before making our exit." The poverty-stricken one would like to see the part of the play that shows him how to get rich, the sick how to get well, the lean how to grow corpulent, the ugly how to become good-locking and i he bald headed how to grow hair. It is a case of "man is never but al ways to be bleet." The old, among even the ones we road about as Laving lived in three centuries, are in no hurry to quit the game. They may have sound ed the depths of pleasure and pain, scon friends and kindred carted to the silent city ; they may be almost in the state of Jacques described io the seven ages, "sans eyes, sans teeth, sans smell, sans everything," bnt thiy are not yet sans cariosity. They want to ride io an air ship to some far away country and back ; they want to get passage by wirehss telegraphy from across the Atlantic, they want to wait and find out who will tie the next President. There is so much doing these days that meet of us are averse to lotting go onr hold. This is not so much because life is not worth living, per haps, as because we are afraid some thing new, something strange and startling will happen and we won't be on deck to experience the thrill of a novel censalion, a wonderful in vention, a phenomenal discovery. When there was nothing doing, like there "used tor wne," people didn't feel near as much reluctance about dying aa they do in these busy times that keep all hands guessing what will happen next. Tho Kantss City Times. Net'roes Leaving Greensboro. . About 75 negroes left here Mon day for Stonega, V,, to work on the construction of a new railroad. Within the past twelve months it is estimated that several hundred negro have tef t this place to work on railroads in Virginia aud in West Virginia coal mine. Many of tin m did not find condition so rosy as tlirty had been pictured Ld return ed at the firet opportunity. On ac count of the emigration of large numbers of negroes, and the re moval of roaoy ether from the country districts to the towns, farm labor in this county is scarce. The scarcity is felt to soch an extent that it is said, in some inslancoe, farmers will not pat oat a full crop. But it is not only farm labor that is scarce.

Xx)rth Carolina can produce as we said yesterday, a vast deal more than ehr produced last year. We copy the following handy figures from the lUU'tuh i imes: "North Carolina prodawd '20, 790,180 bushels of corn in 1 000, which was worth 116,930.403. She produced 5,900.308 bushels wheat, valued at f 4,887,858. Of oats 5, 048,117 bushels were prodnced, val nel at $2 270,753; 411,287 bushels or rye were produced, worth ?31!j, 578. Of Irish potatoes we produced 1,003,474 bushels at M91.258. Of hay only 170, l 80 tons were produced valued at 11,978,816." North Carolina will never bo inde- pendent until she produces everr thing consumed by her people. It is remarkably adapted to fruit growing, hut not a fiftieth is grown that should ho. IS lie has the gteat est opportunities for fisheries bud oysters, and yet she utilizes but a small part. Then sho has great pos sibilitics and opportunities for en larging manufacturing and io many ways. While doing well cnongh in cotton mills and woolen mills, she has not done ail in that direction, and by a great deal. Khe will do more and more. The present out look for prices may deter to some extent. lint there are other and welcome fields for widening industries. The hietory of wood manufacturing at High Point has been much written about in the North Carolina papers. The success there has attracted at tention both of the north and the south. There are now thirty three furniture factories and othor kinds io a town on the Southern railroad with but 4,500 population. That is quite marvellous truly Think of what has been accomplished withio a few i rears, the beginning of a new xisiness was twenty eight year ago when a V ermont man, W. 11. bnow, began to manufacture "spokes, han dles and shuttle-blocks." He then branched out. The Baltimore Man ufacturers' Record tells of the or ganization of tho first furniture fac tory iu 18H0. The company soon enlarged, doubling the machinery. Others quickly followed. One started in IsitO increased its capital from $15,000 to 3tl,0o0 In a short period. Another started in 1893, with $15,000 capital, increas ed it to $24,000 in 1897, and last year ''added a new warehouse and finishing room three stories high, a two-story cabinet room and a com modious show-room." Another, 4 years old, "doubled its capacity in 1900, added improved machinery, and now has a machinery room 60 by 140 feet, two stories high, and finishing rooms and warehouse 40 by 100 feet, three stories high." "There are other furniture factories, a lumber plant, and establishments which make mantels, tables, chairs, showcases, trunks, spokes, coflius, mattresees, bed springs, lounges aod excelsior, in addition to paint works, machine shops, a tobacco factory, two roller mills and a shirt factory." What a taking story this is of en terprise and common sense and sue- cets. It is a fairy tale of' splendid development on wise lines and well directed energy. WThat has been done once can be done again. Live men in town can make things hum, and fill the air with a new music High Point is a strong object lesson. Wilmington Messenger. Filipinos Surrender. News comes from Manila, of recent date, that one hundred and fifteen oflicer and 2,157 bolomen have surrendered and sworn allegi ance to the United States at Narva can, province of Sonttt I locos. The Americans are active throoghont tho archipelago,- accelerating sur renders. The commissary investigation is progressing. Several important witnesses in the Ueed case have left Manila. Parry Baldwin, Thomas Harris, Fred Macon dry and 11. Schindler, prominent merchants, who are supposed to possess infor mation concerning money paid to commissary otlicers, are detained as witnesses nnder $2,500 bail. Major Noble, adjutant general of the Department ot Visayaa, has re ceived the unconditional surrender of Qaentin Salas and three of his oflicer. All the insorgeuts nnder Salaa will surrender soon. It is claimed this will terminate the In surrection in the island of Pansy. It is estimated that there are 25, 000 lepers io the Philippines and it is planned to isolate all of thorn oo one island. Major Mans, the medi cal inspector ; Captain Abcrn of the Ninth infantry and Captain Quarter master Ilorton, comprising a board of officers appointed to select a suitable island tor the purpose, have visited Pusaxga, Cuillon, Cogayan, Do Jolo and other islands, and have made report, but it has cot yet been acted upon.

This week's iisoeof the Southern Tobacco Journal announces that meeting of independent tobacco mannfactnrers will probably be neid in May, to which other mannfac tnrers io all lines will be Invited. This meeting is to formulate plans for starting the Anti Trnst League of America, and arrange to put ac five organizers in every large city in theconntry. State organizations are to bo perfected, and tbrongh each Mate organization county or ganizations will be Arranged, so that every farmer io the I'oited States will have chance to join this one organization which promises turn better prices for Lis products. The plan of the organization will be to form Anti Trust League in every community in this country, each member signing a printed E ledge not to buy ao article made y a trnaf, and as far ss possible not to patronize stores which handle trust-made goods. There wiiFbe no membership foe ; no cost whatever to the members, hach member will bo furnished with literature, giving the names of goods made by trusts in every line of industry, and also a list of goods made by independ ent firms. Each organizstion will have several local addresses deliver ed at regnlar intervals, showing that the only safety for the country and for independence in business is do ing away with trusts. The Southern Tobacco Journal, of this city, which has for several years fought for Independence in tobacco manufacturing,-urging tho passage of laws that would regulate trusts and give chance to independ ent manufacturers, thinks there is now but one remedy left for free dom that "this remedy lies in the organization of the consumers of the country into leagues, pledging them selves to buy nothing that is made by a trust. A movemont is now on foot looking to this end, which move ment has heen suggested by the Journal, and its plan of operations practically adopted. Ktfpecial effort will bo made to en list young men, wago earners and farmers. The Journal adds ; "The movement will cost heavily, bnt plenty of cash will be forthcoming to carry out every detail of this work. In all of the large cities am ple contributions have been offered, and when once the organization is fully nnder way, tho contributions will be largely increased from every ection." Already the meeting promises to be a large one. Winston Sentinel. Wbat Modern Sailors Fear. "Boiler explosions are the termr of the seafaring man," said ao old time deep water captain. "Such a thing is bad enough on dry land, but imagine a cataatrophe of that kind at sea. In ninety-nine case out ot a bunded it means the abso lute wiping out of the craft itself and every soul on board. "The average landsman would be greatly shocked in looking over the maritime records to see how many vessels disappear each year and leave absolute do clew to their fate. They run well np to the hundred mark, and such a mystery is not to be ex plained away by storm, A Chinese typhoon maj swoop down like lightning out of clear sky and tear ship to piece, but some floating wreckage is sure to toll the tale. A boiler explosion, oo the contrary, will blow a hole aa big aa a railroad tannol right through the center of the hull, and the stricken vessel simply goes down like a ihot. There is no time to unfasUo a boat from the davits or cut loose a spar. "Io the opinion of seamen, that is the story of at least 90 per cent of the ship that leave port and are never heard of again. Luckily the modern system of marine boiler in spection is extremely strict and thorough, bnt it is impossible to ab olutcly prevent carelessness and frand, and often enough, no doubt, the fault lie with the engineer. "There is an old story of a drunk en Scotchman who mistook the thermometer for the steam gtge and cned out' the stokers Inause he couldn't get the pressure abovo 60. That yarn will hardly hold water, but I ve seen case almost as bad. I am glad to say, however, that during the past 10 years there has been a steady diminntion otthe number of vessels which "mysteti cutly d sappcar.' - That is doe, be yond all question, to the iucreased stringency of boiler inspection and the greater strict neesot examinations before a license is issued to en gineers.

We hear mnch of war's havoc, of the loss of life, and much ab l made over a battlo in which a fee hundred I've are lost, and yet peo p!o are dying by the thousand every day from disease that are prevent able, and countries ar swept by plagues which carry off millions, plague which are preventable, and yet the death of these million at tract lees attention and crcatis lcfs interest than the death of a few hun dred men ia battle would. Perhaps it is because there is less noiao made by the res per when he stalks in pes tilence than when he docs hi work with cracking rifle and roaring gun. The groater tragedy makes tho leeser noise and passes comparatively un noticed. The following from a Simla, In dia, letter to the London Times will givrt Ao,, idea of the tragedy tho plague and famine have been per forming in that country : "The India census return which have come to hand more than con firm the conjecture that tho Ltlicial estimato ot three quarters of a mil lion as the loesof life due to the dis tress of last year is far short of the mark. In all probability at least 5,000,000 have died in India since 1890 from causes directly due to famine. "Further returns received show that enormous decreases have been recorded in tho districts of the Cen tral Provinces affected by fstnine. Thus Kaipur is 1 1 l,000short ; Chan da, 108,000; Pcttil, 37,0O; Patna, 51,000, and o on, The fgures for tho whole of tho Central Provinces show a decrease of more than one million persons ts compared with 1891. In ordinary circumstances an increase of 1,500,000 might have beeo conhdontly enpected, as ten years ago the growth recorded was will over a million. "Jt Is certain that up to 1890 rho population increased at least in its normal proportions, ss shown by the returns of births and deaths, lint In 1M)0 begrfh that series of lean vears which has worked such dire havoo throughout India." rive millions of human demon sept away, whilo nations arc spend ng millions in couoties, and mil lions in contriving more destructive implements of war, and yet with steam and telegraph the continents aro drawn more closely together than some of the neighloring conn- tries Were a generation ago. If the spirit of humanity influenced the nations of the earth as much as the spirit of greed and grab does, there would be no such horrid stories to write as that of India in the past five years Wilmington Star. Turks Menace Macedonia. A cablegram from London says: Despite the conciliatory tone adopt ed by tho Macedonian revolutionary congress, the Macedonian qnestion presents complication and threaten ing asocets. It travel v concerns the relations between Macedonia and Turkey on the one hand and the re lations between tho Ottoman and Bulgarian governments on the oth er. r.ngiisn ptioiic opinion ib keen ly sympathetic with Macedonian as irat tons, lhe feeling in London is that if Macedonia ia now aban doned to its fate by the European powers, who morally and conven tionally boend themselves io Berlin 23 year ago to protect it, this un happy province must sooner or later fall nnder the ravaging tire and sword of the 80,000 Turkish regular and irregular troops now concen t rated within its boundaries. Such a calamity mivht lead to a widespread conflagration in Europe. The Macedonians have quite as much claim upon European pro tection and redemption as has the on? suffering people of Creto.

Klincr (iates, the Washington scientist, has recently finished a series of experiment which prove that electricity is primarily the cause of all meteorological phenomena. From the calm of a summer's diy lo tho tempestuous storms of the t q ii nox, they are nothing more nor leu than manifestations of electricity. Our world, in c-imrnon with the sun and the other planets, is not only a vast generator of electricity, but is also kept in motion and controlled by electrical forces. ' I proved by experiment," says (iates in Everybody's Mags.ine, "that when an insulated body is re volved before a magnet it produces electrici'y upon itself. Now, the eatth is an insulated body and re volves in an immense magnetic field produced by tho son, the grenl central magnet of onr solar system. The eatth is insulated bocause tie air that envelops it is a nou con ductor, and for that reason the elec tricity generated by the revolution of the earth is not thrown off", but is retained and manifests itself in what we call the weather." "And you say that the rotation ol the earth on its axil is an electrical phcfiomenou aluo t" "Yes; snrh a conclusion is render et! probabl ly my experiments Not only the rotation on its axis, but its revolution, too, about the sun is the result of electricity or electro magtiutic action. We know that the sun rotates on its axis. Now, 1 find by experiment that when a manet rotate it cause magnetic bodies within itsinfluence to revolve about it. Tho nearer they are to the magnet the faster they revolve, and this is precisely what wo obrerve iq the case of the planets. And I have also discovered that a sphere revolving about a magnot turns on its axis. This is due to the fact tiiM the side nearest the matiet is sligh' ly retarded by tho effect of the at traction, and this causes the g!ole to rotate while moving on its or'. it around the magnet. So we see that the sun by its own motion caus's the earth to revolve atiout it, ai d i that this in turn produces the roU tion of the earth on i's bx's, which gives tie nuratmosphericeli c'rieity."

Aycock" recog oiz'j in him a man tqnal to any emergency bnt few of them perhaps are aware that to his other aceom plishmenfa he adds that of being a good cok. The Fremont Visitor givps this : We cslled Sunday afternoon to see the Hon. B. F. Ay cock, whoso ably represented this district in the last Legislature, aud were glad to find his condition greatly improved. His brother, Gov. C. H. Aycck, w at his bed"de, where ho re mained for several days. There is nothing formal or foppish about our Governor. When we left the house the Governor had his coat off and was in the kitchiu preparing a delicate dish of soup for the sick man, unwilling to intrust so im portant a matter lo less skillful hands. We have lung known C. 15. Aycock as one of the ablest lawyer in the State, a platform sjesker without a peer, and art! proud to recognize him as Governor ; but we had not know n before of his no less honorable aee.'tnplihhtncnf, if done well, that of cook. All honor t any man who has the heart in him 1 1 feel for a brother as this little incident shows Gov. Aycock's love for his brother. H vi-rv nun h like tne Winui- iny i f ii llo'.vi I.
