SoAle years ago when the sugges-
ton was made that the city pass an
ordinance compelling the electric
light company, the telephone and
telegraph companies to paint their
poles on which wires were strung,
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany anticipated the law and had
their poles painted white, which all
will admit added materially to their
appearance. This seemed to satisfy
the Board of Aldermen, for nothing
was ever said about the ordinance in
open meeting. Neither the electric
light nor the telephone companies
made any effort to have their poles
painted, ,and they are the most prom
inent thing on the sidewalks to-day,
rearing their tall heads toward the
skies and looking down upon the
streets with all their frowning ugli-
ness and sombre color. The
electric light poles now belong
to the city, and the admins
tration should take enough pride
in the city's property to have il
make a decent appearance. The
telephone people, as matter o.
pride, should have their property
present pleasing appearance, but il
they will not do SO without, then lei
the Board of Aldermen pass a law
and enforce them to do so.

RANDOM REFLECTIONS.
SUGGESTIONS FOR THE BEN
EFT OF THE CITY.
Railroad Tracks Too High Poles
Should be Painted Centre
Street Will Have to be
Abandoned to Rail
roads and the Man
ufacturers.
ufacturers.

The action of the Board of Alder
men in letting the contract to pave
several blocks of streets in the centre
of the city calls to mind the bad con-
dition of the railroad tracks from
Walnut street north. They are con-
siderably higher than the street level
and will interfere with the correct
paving of these streets. The railroad
tracks from Walnut to Ashe streets
should be put down on level with
the street the same as the tracks be-
tween Chestnut and Walnut streets.
Such change would not only add
to the appearance of the streets but
would make crossing the streets
much easier.
If the railroads are to continue to
run through the principal street of
city they should be put down to con-
form to the convenience of the pub
lie in cases where such convenience
does not interfere with the railroad
traffic. 1t is believed that all the
Board of Aldermen will have to do
is to make this request of the rail-
roads .and the change will be
made. The request should be made
at once SO the tracks can be lowered
before the work of paving the streets
is begun.
Goldsboro weekly argus., 1902-11-13

The machine shops of Dewey
Bros will soon have a spur track
from the Southern Railway run into
their yards and shop, which will be
> great convenience to them in the
manufacture Of tramway locomo-
tfves. an industry for which they
have already earned an enviable re-
mutation. The side track will start
from the South and will cross the
street in front of the property of
Dewey Bros only. Since the firm
has purchased the adjoining Holt
property they will have ample room
for the spur track to enter their
wards. Putting in this track is an
illustration of the fact that if the
railroads are to continue to occupy
Centre street it will only be a ques-
tion Of a few years or probably less
time before that street will be cut
nm with side tracks and spur tracks
for the convenience of manufacturers
and wholesale houses. Inc rail-
roads are now admirably situated for
the convenience of just such institu-
tions. The retail dealers will find
more desirable and convenient ioca-
+ions on other streets and they are
fast finding out the difference. Shop
ners from the country with horses
and buggies are afraid to leave their
teams in front of stores on Centre
street because of the continued pass
ing of trains in each direction. West
and East Centre streets will have to
be abandoned to the railroads and
the manufacturers if the railroads
cannot be induced to run their tracks
around instead of through the city.

Teddy Has Gone Home to Vote.


Brandy, Va, Nov. 3.-The
special train bearing President
Roosevelt and party left here
at 8 30 a. m, for Washington.
The party arrived at the train
in carriages from the home of
Representative Rixey soon after
9 o'clock. On the station plat
form after his arrival, the presi-
dent held an informal recep-
ton. Many Of the residents of
Brandy and vicinity took ad-
vantage of the opportunity to
embrace and shake han ds with
him. The president met prob
ably his only namesake in Vir-
ginia-Teddy Roosevelt FAINT.
Teddy is baby about a year
old and crowed vigorously in
the arms of his proud mother
as the president chucked him
under the chin.
Just before the special train
pulled out President Roosevelt
stepped upon the rear platform
Of his car and in response to the
handclapping from the crowd
thanked the people for their
greeting.
At Remington, in response
to demands of a small concourse
of people, the president, speak
ing from the rear platform of
his car, said:
81 want to say what a very
great pleasure it has been to me
to be here and see your beauti
full country, and to be received
everywhere with characteristic
Virginia hospitality. I had the
good fortune to visit two or
three Of your battlefelds-the
first and second battles of Ma
nassas and Cedar Mountain
and to be shown over them by
men who had worn the blue
and men who had worn the
gray. We are all alike now,
and we can glory alike in the
valor Of each side and the dc
yotion to duty as each side saw
It's duty lApplauoe.)

The State Fair is considered great
success this year, although there will
probably be slight deficit in the
finances. Much credit is due Bishop
Empey, president, whose untiring
labors saved the state a large sum of
money. This year more general in

and excellent exhibits from every part
of the state were on hand.
On the first page Of the Nation Is
the statement that II. Bullen Jr. is
"the logical candidate" for the Sem

that Mr.. Bullen will head the ticket.
On an inside page is the stament that
Mr.. John Hendrickson Is "the logical
candidate in every sense of the word"
and that she will be chosen" The
statements slightly conflict, or else
there are to be two nominees for this
Office.
