news of the North Carolina con
tingent in Atlanta and is profuse
in his praise of the courtesy and
hospitality of the Atlanta people.
He saw all the Goldsboro boys
down there and reports them all
we'll and is proud of every one
of them.
MIR. T. W. Sprinkle, of Pilot
Mountain, one of TIE cleverest
''traveling men" who make regu-
lar rounds to this city, was here
Tuesday, and tool@his first les
son on bicycle lecomotion. When
we last saw him the sheriff had
him in charge = simply as a
friend. however, showing him
the way back to the inhabited
parts of the city. The wheel had
run away with him and lost
him, and the sheriff had found
him.
QUITE a large herd of fine,
full grown young beefcattle were
paraded through our streets
Tuesday afternoon by Messrs.
Sam Cohen & Son, of the city
market, and will be served to
their customers on and after
this morning. They were raised
and fattened by Mr.. Robert Kor-
negay, of Mt. Olive, and we're
fed for fattening almost entirely
on the cattle feed produced by
the Goldsboro Oil Mills, which
is Of recent discovery, and has
surpassed all other feeds, both
in rapidity OF fattening and in
satisfactory results.
The average European obser-
yer thinks we are constantly at
the mercy of mobs and insurrec-
tionary forces because we have
such a small standing army, but
as a matter OF fact we do not need
a large standing army as a de
Tense against disOrderly elements.
We have other and better means
Of protection. The spirit Of the
people is on the side Of the laws,
and the constituted authorizes are
invested with ample power for
emergency. There are times
when society is alarmingly men
aced by unlawful movements, but
they are always defeated and do
not long disturb the general
tranquility. See?
The triumph of the Presidents
friends in Alabama is another
proof that the people stand by
Cleveland. The Cleveland pro
gram of tariff reform and honest
money is given a popular en-
dOrsement ia the home Of Pugh
and Morgan. No two Senators
have been more conspicu-
Gus in the fight against the
Cleveland policy or more bitter
in denouncing the Cleveland
IDEAS than the two Senators
from Alabama: and yet the popu-
liar feeling in their own State, it
is now plain, was not with them,
but was behind the President in
his effort to reform the tariff anC
to give the people honest money.
