several bets, which ranged in vas
rious ways, some being that Sim
mons would get a majority of
1900, and others being that Carr
would get less than 500 in the

ties who risked collateral on 1000
majority had a close call.

The Tarboro Southerner in re-
porting a game of football played
in this city last Tuesday between
the Goldsboro and Tarboro team,
in which the score was 5 to 0 in
favor of Tarboro, goes a little
out of its way to hold up the
Goldsboro team to ridicule, and
charge them with unfair tactics.
The Goldsboro boys wish to re-
flute this charge emphatically
and state that they will meet the
Tarboro team on any grounds in
the State, at any time, and give
them a chance to make good
their boasts.
"Greaey Row" is sustaining its
reputation for being a eden of
iniquity." For the past several
months this unhappy locality has
been much in evidence at the
Mayors court from time to time.
Saturday night a negro man run
amuck with a loaded pistol and
three or four white boys we're
shot. but none seriously. Another,
John Cobb, was cut on the head
and face by a negro named John
Henry Atkinson. And there were
other disturbances of a less serious
nature.
Last Thursday, Herbert Arnold,
employed at the sale stables of
Messrs. Edgerton & Hollowell,
received a severe shock and was
br used considerably by being
thrown from a road cart, to which
was hitched an unbroken young

The young man was stunned by
the fall and was unconscious for
some time, but no bones were
broken.
We notice from a New York
paper that in Western New York
one farmer sold eight thousand
barrels of apples from his or
chard. Can we not raise apples
al a profit in this section of the
State? Some years ago it was
said that tobacco could not be
grown at a profit in Eastern
North Carolina. To-day Eastern
Carolina is the tobacco centre of
the State. Many thousands of dol
lars are spent every year for
apples in GOldsbOro.
Sunday afternoon while Les
lie, the young son of MI. and
, Mrs. J. j. Street, was putting the
family horse in the stable the
horse kicked the young man end
, inflicted a large flesh wound over
the right eye. The wound was at
first thought to be serious, but
medical attention revealed the fact
= that no serious consequences need
, be feared. The meny friends OF
, the young man and of the family
will be glad to learn that he lie
restipg we'll to-day and that he
will soon be out again.
