The Enterprise Lumber Com.
pany of this city is appropriately
named, as its past record has
shown It has long been one of
leading industries of Goldsboro,

Neuse river shat we're brought in
RATS to the company's boon at
old Waynesboro and transported
up to the mill over their own
railroad. This traffic has been
carried to such an extent by the
land owners up the river that the
company will have to look else
where for its supply Of timber.
And in view of this fact they
have gone a distance of fourteen
miles up the Smithfeld railroad
and have commenced to build a
railroad Of their own out into the
pine forests of Johnston county.
The work of surveying and
grading this road has very near
ly been completed, and this
morning their locomotive used
on the road from the river to this
city was sent out on the Smiths
field line to haul the material for
track laying. This new field for
supply will not leave their line
running into this city idle. They
have another locomotive that is
now being fitted up to do the
work of hauling the logs from
the river up town.
This company has aver beer
one of the industries of which
Goldsboro was proud. Sawmil
men from all parts of the South
have come to this city to visit the
plant and copy the many improv.

ing and handling lumber. Mncf
of the success attained by the
company is due to it's progressive

with lumber business and is notl

REMARKABLE CASE.

dispatch published Wednesday told
Of Helen Kellar, deaf mute. having
passed the Harvard examination. Hers
is one of the most remarkable cases on
record, and it wonderfully illustrates
the capacities of senses that lie more or
less dormant in the cases of all ordi-
nary persons. When an infant she
lost both sight and hearing and for a
number of years no effort was made to
teach her anything. When she was
about seven, her education was under
taken by woman who had followed
the profession of teaching such unfor-
tunates. The child soon learned to
understand what it was sought to COM
municate to her. Later on she learned
to articulate, this being accomplished
through study of the functions of the
organs of speech
Not only did she learn to use her
own language, but mastered French
and German so thoroughly that she
speaks them like a native Frenchmen
have said that her accent is so perfect
that they would suppose she had grown
up in Paris. All this was attained by
having the operations of speech ex-
planned and by touching the throat
and lips of her teacher when the latter
was speaking.
1t became Miss Kellar's ambition TO
enter upon a literary career, and she
enters Harvard Annex to fit herself for
that field of work. At lectures her
teacher Sits beside her and, by manual
biography upon the palm OF the hand,
communicates what the professor says.
In this way she derives as much bene-
fit as those who can see and hear. On
deed, she is more benefited than an
average bright student, for her mind
has been so delicately trained in the
processes by which she has acquired
an education without the use Of the
common faculties that her powers of
perception are quickened far beyond
the ordinary.
The case suggests the thought that
the average person misses much of the
possibilities of life by failure to utilize
the faculties with which he has been
endowed. He educates his senses so
far as is necessary to get along COM
fortably in the world and there he
stops, neither knowing nor caring ABOUT
those possibilities which lie beyond the
beaten path of routine existence.
Though man is almost god in his
sphere, equipped with attributes that
might make him master of everything
that would contribute to the higher en-
joyment of life, he is too generally
willing to run his career upon plane
very little higher than that upon which
brute creation moves.

THE Salt Lake Herald Of this
Thursday morning, referring to the
presence in this city of several distin-
guished Republican senators, says

Our morning contemporary, in its

50 many distinguished Republican SEN

prominent Republican, in the course of

THE TRANsvAAL GOLD DEPOSITS.

DR.. George f. Becker, geologist at
tached to the United States Geological
survey, has just returned to Washing
ton from the Transvaal region, where
he has been making some mining in
vestigations for a private company.
He says he cannot divulge the results
of his own study but is free to say that
the reports made to the English gov
eminent concerning the amount of
gold in South Africa are not exagger-
ated, and that the gold deposits in the
TransvaaI republic are the largest ever
seen.

The Sherman law is Objectionable,
because it directs the purchase of sill
yer instead of providing for the free
coinage of silver. Purchase means
price; price means commodity. and the
treatment of silver as a commodity
means its degradation from its intrin-
sic rank as a money metal. Gold has
free coinage. and hence it has no price

THE SOLDIER IN THE CANVASS.

Ore OF the stock arguments of the
Republicans is made TO the pensioners.
Proceeding upon the assumption that
free coinage would give. us a dollar
worth only fifty cents, they raise their
hands in horror and fairly Shrek con-
deulnation Of the proposed "infamy.,
They are painfully solicitous for the
welfare of the old soldier and plead
with him TO vote against the free coin
age candidate. They seem to think
the. people viii overlook the fact that
the old soldier is profoundly concerned
for the welfare Of the country that ne
fought to preserve; and they hope by
trick Of argument, to catch his vote
on the score of self-interest
The old soldiers understand that the
basis of the appeal is false; and they
further understand that viewed even
from the standpoint of personal in
terest. the free coinage programme is
one that they should support. since
their prosperity depends upon the same
conditions that make or unmake the
prosperity OF all other classes.

WHAT MIR. BRYAN WOULD DO.

IN the last month of Harrison's adj
ministration the debt of the United
States was S5S5, OF, 100. On July l last
the debt had amounted to SS47 1858, $50,
an increase of S2e2. 346, 100. Bryan is so
busy with his paramount issue that he
never mentions these figures, or what
ne would do to remedy them if he were
president.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
We cannot pretend to say what Mr..
Bryan would do, if he We're elected
president, to remedy this state of at
fairs. but it is absolutely certain that
he would not issue Understanding
bonds 10 keep up a gold reserve that
had become the sport and plaything Of
4 bond-buying syndicate. It is certain
that if Mr. Bryan We're president and
concerted raids were made upon the
treasury for the purpose of reducing
its gold reserve and forcing a bond is
sue TO build it up again, be would ex-
ercise his constitutional right to re-
deem government obligations in silver.
Had this right been exercised by those
having control of the nations finances
something more than two hundred and
siscsrgliilions of increased national in
debtedtess would not have accrued.
But this is policy which the Globe
Democrat disapproves while it APP
proves Mr.. Cleveland's bond issuing
policy. The balance of the increased
national indebtedness is due to deficits
in the revenue. Honors are about
evenly divided between the Mckinley
bin and the Wilson German bill in pro-
ducing them
To remedy this state of affairs Mr..
Bryan would most probably recon-
mend the enactment of such legislation
as would produce sufficient revenue to
prevent any deficits. He would also.
we Relieve. recommend an amendment
to the constitution giving to congress
power to enact such an income tax law
as was incorporated in the Wilson Cor
man bill and which was declared IN
constitutional by the supreme court
by a bare majority of one. which one
was Justice Shiras. who changed his.
mind on the question.
II elected, Mr. Bryan win be pre-
pared TO meet the problem above sug-
gested as well as any others that may
come along.
