slight strain and would soon be well,

THE r

To Wilmington. Wrightsville and Ocean
View Beach ON Wednesday June FL.
The public usually read an an
nouncement of an excursion with
pleasure. It affords an opportu-
nifty for those with limited means
to visit places of interest as well
as places of amusement. Thesub-
ject of this notice, which is an ex-
cursiou by Messrs. G. B. & B. FL.
Hatch, the famous excursion
managers, to the seacoast on the
81 of June. contains more than
ordinary interest for the, people
of Goldsboro, from the fact that
these gentlemen in charge of the
affair are we'll known to our peos
pile, and during the many years
they have been running excur-
sions, there has never occurred
an incident on their trips to mar
the pleasure of a single guest.
Women and children feel perfect
tly safe with them,as they adver-
tise for and carry white people
only, and only white people of
good character.
Everything points to a sues
cessful elimination of the affair
Even the date is propitious com
ing as it does, during the mid
summer holidays, and will result
no doubt in the bigge est event of
the kind which will take Llace
during the present season.
Those who have seen the ocean
want to see it again. 1t grows in
interest aud loses none Of it's
many charms. Those who have
never seen 1t are anxious to stand
on it's wave-washed shores and
gaze at the snowy pillows on its
ever restless bosom and drink in
the llfe.giving breezes waited a
multitude of miles from foreign
shores, The scene is indescrib-
able. Here nature dons it's loves
lest robes and appears in all it's
exquisite beauty and grandeur.
This excursion is now the
topic with pleasure seekers and
those who love and admire the
grand and sublime in nature.
In fact, that this Hatch Bros
excursion is ample guarantee,
that the best of order will pre-
vail, and those who contemplate
making a trip to the seacoast dur
ing the present season could not
avail themselves of a better op~
portunity than will be presented
when the excursion leaves here
for the ocean on the morning Of
the 21st of June.

THE PoSF-OFFICE REMOVAL.
A PIECE OF POLITICAL JOB.
Berry,
Word Has Come Down That 1t is to BE
Community Not Consulted.

1t will be q general surprise to
the people of this community to
learn that it is at present a settled
fact that the Goldsboro Post Office
is to be moved back to the Law
Building, from which 1t was
moved under President Harrison's
administration, at the solicitation
of the community, and upon the
Recommendation of one or more
Post Office Inspectors, and the
then Republican Postmaster, exc
sheriff Jno. r, Smith, now Com
missioner of Agriculture of the
State.
The Law Building is by con-
struction in every way unsuitable
for a post Office, it is a long, mar
row, dark, damp, gloomy strucs
ture, without windows or ventila
ton, and there was hardly a day
when the post Office was former
ly located therein that lamps
were not in use to enable the
post master and his clerks to
distribute the mails and perform
the clerical work of the Office.
On account Of it's imperfect
ventilation, damp atmosphere,
vitiated air, darkness and abso-
lutte lack of sunshine, the post
master and his clerks were al.
ways complaining of that stirred
feeling" that does not come from
overwork, but from the lack Of
pure air and wholesome sunshine,
and as neither of these could be
secured the postmaster and his
clerks were only too glad to haye
the government move the Office
to It's present location, where it
is not only we'll ventilated and
lighted, but where it is alike
contiguous to the railroads and
the business centre of the city,
and approachable with impunity
by ladies and children from
every direction, and where
the community as a whole
would most earnestly de-
sire it to remain if their wishes
were consulted or their conven-
fences regarded in it's removal.
But with this administration it
seems that the people-though
they be legion-are not preferred
over the politicians, however few
the latter be, when the personal
ends of party adherents are to be
subserved: and SO, upon the re-
commentator of Senator Pritch-
ard and Col. Jas. E. Boyd, who
know nothing whatever of the To-
cations of this city or the wishes
of our people, backed up by the
partisan report CT a post-ofice in-
spector,, the report of former in
spectors, and the action Of the
Harrison administration, and the
overwhelming petition of our COM
munity, and the absolute unitness
of the Law Building for a post
Office, are all to be overruled, and
the post-ofice remanded to that
building for ten long years. This
is the decree, and it has been
worked up quietly and seems to
be absolute. But it cannot go in
to effect until after August 1, as
the lease of Judge Faircloth to
the bar-room which has occupied
the building for the past two years
does not expire until that date,

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUT OF FIGs, manufactured. BY the
CALIFORNIA FIa SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is h one perfect strengthening laxa-
Give, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.

Card From Mr.. Felt.

To the Editor of the State Journal
I wish to correct certain statements
made in your last issue relative to the
meeting held at Nic6le Plate school
house Monday evening to take into
consideration the prOpriety of being
annexed to the city OF Topeka. Not
solely for the purpose of signing a
remonstrance against the Strip being
taken into the city" The meeting was
open to the public and everybody was
invited to express his sentiments on the
subject. You say that there were
about 80 who attended the meeting
and 20 out of that number signed the
remOnStrance." Twenty mine came for
ward and signed the remonstrance at
that meeting when the opportunity was
given. You say, they admit they are
reaping all the benefits of the city with
out paying city taxes If that ex-
preston was used by anyone present
certainly failed to hear it We do not
admit that we are receiving more ad-
vantages from the city than it receives
from US. We are permitted to patron
ize the business houses and other in
stitutions of the city and pay our mon
ey for what we get. When our child
rem attend the high school, we are re-
uuired to pay their tuition, which is
perfectly right. If We are receiving
many special privileges which we do
not pay for, the city should send in her
bill and we will endeavor to square the
account. We greatly appreciate the
citv of Topeka as a neighbOr but are
not quite ready and willing to be taken
under her fostering care just at pres
ent if We can help it.

THAT ELECTRIC LINE.
Sale of the CarbOndale Line to
Be Closed by Oct. IA.

The sale of the Lawrence & Carbon
dale railroad was this morning post
poned until October IA by H. P Dillon,
special master. This postpOnement took
place in order to permit Willard +.
Winner to complete the arrangements
for the purchase of the bonds outstand-
ing against the property. In purchaS-
ing the bonds, Mr.. Winner becomes
plaintiff in the foreclosure suit, which
is being brought upon the bonds.
On account of other debts the lore
closure proceedings will go on and Mr..
Winner will receive his title to the
property by the masters deed. An
taxes will be paid on the property put
no other debts will be paid
This line is thirty miles long and
never has paid. It has been abandoned
for some time. The station houses
have been removed and the rolling
stock has been pulled off. All that re-
mains of the road is the rails, which
are worth about $22 per thousand for
old iron, or a total of ABOUT $50, goo.
However, Mr.. Winners contract is for
a sum considerably below this amount
The total amount of bonds outstand-
ing, which Mr.. Winner is purchasing,
is $465, 900 with defaulted interest to
the amount of $713, 900, making the total
debt against the property more than
one million dollars.
There were present at the transaction
today H. G. Burt, president of the
road; E. Dickinson, general manager;
J. o. BrinkerhOf, superintendent; C.
Blood Smith, attorney for the bond
holders; H. P. Dillon, master in chan
Gerry
Mr.. Winner will use the roadbed and
iron which he is acquiring by the pur-
chase of these outstanding bonds in the
construction of the electric line which
he has projected from Kansas City to
Topeka, via Lawrence. Mr.. Winner,
who was present at the official gather
ing this morning in Lawrence, says he
will make the electric line go despite
the knocking which is going on against
it.
No time has been set for the begin
ming of work on the proposed line but
it is said that Mr.. Winner hopes to be
in readiness by the early spring, per-
hans before that time

Chicago, August %, 1899.
WHEAT was strictly a bull market
today and the volume of trading was
apparently the only obstacle to a sub
Stantial advance. Liverpool showed
an advance of 1ad. This was the fac
tor at the Immediate opening, but the
situation in the northwest soon at
tracted much attention. Rains were
reported from all parts of the spring
wheat country, with prospects of more.
! The northwest said the situation was
I serious and predicted a material fall
ing off in receipts for several days.

enough to influence trading. Mime
