Facts Sustain this Pecan of Progress.
Several days ago The ARGUS
published that letters of incOr-
poration had been issued to the
Standard Manufacturing Com
pany Of this city. but we refrain
ed from comment, awaiting the
full organization Of the company.
This has nov been perfected,
as follows: President, Nathan
O'Berry; Sect'y and Business
Manager, S. S. Hardison, Vice
President, J. a. Westbrook;
Treasurer, Charles Dewey; Sup
erintendent. Fred G. Overman:
Directors, N. OBerry, j. F.
Switzerland, G. Dewey, F. c.
Overman and E. B. Borden, Jr.
The company will occupy with
its new plant the commodious
and admirably appointed brick
buildings recently vacated by the
Goldsboro Lumber Company, on
moving to Dover, and will pro
ceed at once to equip the build
ings with q full line of the latest
improved machinery for the man
ufacture of barrels, crates, bas-
kets and every description Of
package used for the shipment
of fruit, truck, eggs, etc.
The company Will manufacture,
also, all kinds Of veneering out
puts, such as ara used IN the man
ufactura of furniture and other
articles Of wood work, too numer-
Gus for mention.
It is we'll and cheering to note
that this enterprise will call for
quite a large supply Of skilled
labor, which always commands
good prices, aud it will turn to
use and profit, a class Of timber
heretofore uncalledf or and prac-
tically worthless.
So that, viewed from all
standpoints, the STANDARD Man
ufacturing Company" is both
a boon and a boom to GoldsbOro,
and we hail its organization with
high hopes and inexpressible
pleasure.
AS to its destinies, a glance at
the names Of the men who con
stitute its incorporators and di-
rect its movements, gives assur-
ance Of it's success, for they
know no other word, and are
ripe, prudent, courageous, popu-
lar business men.
Those who are to have direct
supervision Of the enterprise are
peculiarly fitted by long expe-
rience and competent sagacity
for the duty, The president,
Mr.. n. O'Berry, who is also
president Of the Enterprise Lum-
Der Company of this city, that
has grown to mammoth proper
tons and knows no ''shut-downs'
nor cessations the year round, SO
overrun is it with orders, Mr..
Station S. Harrison, the business
manager, a man Of indomitable
energy and superb business quail
ifications, and Mr.. Fred c.. Over
man. whose knowledge of timber
and familiarity with machinery is
unsurpassed, are al, as it we're ito
the manner born" in this pecu-
liar line Of industry, and there
fore it is that we may with rea-
son look to the STANDARD Manu-
featuring Company" to at once
assume a front rank in the enter
prises of it's line and enjoy a
widespread and lucrative patron
age.
Success and long years of
prosperity to the STANDARD
Manufacturing Company"
We go forward.

The Judiciary Committe of the
Texas House of Representatives
has reported favorably a bill
making train robbery punishable
by death, and the indications are
that it will become a law, as it
should be. AS the Norfolk Led
ger says, men who stop a train
load of passengers, and threaten
the crew with immediate death
unless their demands are acceded
to, are as much assasoins as those
who lie in wait and murder for
any other cause. The only diff
ference is that in one case con-
ditjons are offered and in the
other they are not. The Ma
tional House OF Representatives
has also recently taken action
along the same lines, but will
consider a crime of this kind to
be murder only when some one
is killed.-Neither law is likely
to stamp out the evil, but those
who engage in such business will
most likely prefer to operate in
some other State than Texas. if
the proposed bill becomes a law.
