SOLVED.

Mr.. Bob Edwards has at last
solved the anti-spitting ordinance
problem which the Board of Alder
men passed some time ago, and
which has given him III small
amount of inconvenience. Bob is a
gentleman of leisure as Wellas means
and he often finds time to occupy
the chairs which the furniture peo-
pie set on the sidewalk for display.
It often caused him no end Of trouble
to have to get up out of his seat to
walk to the curb stone and spit in
the gutter. In doing this he often
lost his seat. Some bystander who
had gotten tired standing would fall
into the chair. This morning Bob
walked into a furniture store on
Walnut street and purchased a mum
of spittoons which he distributed at
various points along the sidewalk as
to be CONVENIENT when needed, not
only for himself, but all others who
find it announcement to comply with
the law against splitting on the side
walk.

DOG DAYS ARE ENDED.

Cooler nights have come, now that
the dog days have ended. Sirius, the
dog star, rises h~eliacally about July
/, and passes from sight on August
IL. These are the dog days in which
torridity reigns. The ancients as
cribed the great heat which occurs
between July l and August II to the
dog star, and far be it from us to be-
little or ven question the wisdom of
the ancients.
The SUI is moving back towards
the equator, speaking from our
earthly point Of view, and the dog
star is no longer visible, and there Is
hope that cooler and more lifegiving
weather will return. Cooler nights
will in due time be supplemented
with cooler days, and all can enter
tain the hope thai the spells Of in
tense heat will become brief and
briefer.
Thissection has rarely experienced
a hotter or dryer summer, and now
that a change for thebetter is plainly
coming all can takecourage. All can
take up their respective tasks with
renewed energy, determined to dc
their best to push Goldsboro along,
while they better their fortunes
and go forward.

LUCKY STRIKE.
Two Goldsboro Gentlemen Who
Have Struck a Fortune.

Messrs. VIII Smith and E. B.Bor-
den Jr. have returned from Florida,
where they went to inspect real es-
tate which they own together. From
the report Mr.. Smith makes of their
visit it is evident that these gentle
men have struck something better
than a gold mine.
Just below the surface of an 80
acre piece of land which they own in
Citrus county, Florida, lies thousands
upon thousands of tons of phosphate
rock for which they have been of
fered IS cents per ton. To make as
surance doubly sure while they were
on the spot they went below the sur
face in several places and found the
rock in great abundance. On the
lands adjacent to their property
shafts are being sunk and the rock
is being mined and shipped in cargo
lots OF vessels to Europe.
Messrs: Smith and Borden have
sold an option on their land for 3d.
900 a year for ten years, and this
amount is paid if there is not
a pound of the rock mined, which
shows that prospectors who are on
the scene have great confidence both
in the quality and the quantity OF
the phosphate. If the prospectors
go to work, which theyhave already
done, and dig up the material the
$4,000 will be appropriated to the
payment of the rock at the rate of So
cents per ton.
Mr.. Smith is very enthusiastic
over his good fortune. He is conf
dent that the yield ofphosphate rock
will net him and Mr.. Borden not
less than SOC, 900 and possibly $780,.
900. Both r receiving the congrat-
ulations of their friends over their
holdings which promise such hand
some returns.

AN EXCITING TIME.
A Runaway Holds High Carnival
On Our Streets at Noon Friday.

A white man named Saunderson,
driving two mules hitched to a Wag-|
on, created right much excitement
on the streets Friday about l o'clock.
1t was while the tobacco sales were
going on, when there were hundreds
of people on the street and vehicles
were lined up on either side Of the
street. Mr.. Saunderson had come to
the city with a load of tobacco. He
lives down in Sampson county. He
had unloaded his tobacco and was
crossing the railroad at the Walnut
street crossing when his mules be-
came frightened at an approaching
train. a. He began pulling on the
mules, both of which were fine
imals, and soon both bits snapped in
two about the same time. This left
the driver with nothing to control
the frightened mules but the head
stalls. When they found they could
run the mules put out at good speed
down Walnut street. AT the post
Office corner the team was turned up
John street, which they kept for
two blocks and turned to the left up
Ash street for one block to Centre
street. At this point the crowd was
following as best they could and was
growing in numbers. Again Walnut
street was reached soon and the
mules were turned in and passed the
| postofice corner for the second time
| and took up John street. This time
J! they did not go far. The driver pull
ed them to one side and a into a
cart and buggy, both of which were
damaged considerably. The mules
and wagon were not damaged in the
least and neither was the driver in
iured. An immense crowd swarmed
around the scene and helped the
frightened driver to eXtricate his
mules and wagon from the smash
up. The cart was the property OF
! Mr.. Jno, F. Switzerland and was
torn to pieces, while the buggy be
longed to Mr.. Rand Smith and was
not injured SO much. In passing the
postofie corner the second time,
when the mules were going at full
speed, the buggy ofJudge WIS. OBJ.
Robinson was standing near the cor
ner and was only missed by a hairs
breadth by the heavy wheels of the
wagon. Judge Robinson was sitting
in his buggy at the time. 1t is con-
sidered very fortunate that such lit
tie damage was done. 1t was the
most exciting scene witnessed on the
streets of Goldsboro for some time.
A number of vehicles came neal
being struck by the flying mules and
wagon and in one or two instances
pedestrians barely escaped.
The runaway stopped the tobacco
sales and merchants, clerks and
everybody rushed to the street ex.
pecting to see somebody killed
which did not happen.

PROBING hIiE DISASTER
1t Is Said Financial Loss will Not Amount

Inspector ]. T. Evans, who has been
in the mine almost continuously since
the explosion, was joined here last night
by Chief Roderick, of the bureau of
mine inspection. Mr.. Evans entered in
to a full report of MS investigation. He
said; 'Mr. Roderick can hardly credit
my description of the condition Of the
mine after such a dreadful calamity.
1t is wonderful that there should have
been such havoc in loss of life with
such a small explosion. There was
very little rock brought down by the
force of the explosion. A number of
doors were blown open and some
boards knocked off, but the cost of re-
pairs will be insignificant, not more
than s25 I should say" Il will have
to take a look over the mine" inter-
rupted Chief Roderick, doubtfully.

viously reported among the dead is
alive. When the explosion came he was
standing beside a car far in the mine.
The force of the explosion knocked
him over and he fell unconscious into
the bed of the car. This saved his life.
The gas accumulated in the top of the
heading and did not reach low enough
TO catch him. Gradually air worked
fits way into him and slowly he re-
vived. Hours after the explosion he
was found sitting upright on the side
Of the car, wondering what had hap

possible and placed in the hands of
doctors. The boy has but one leg.
One Of the volunteer reseuers who
came out with this load of dead stated
that fire was raging in parts OF the
mine that would take some time to
quell. Most of those who were brought
out alive had saved themselves by
crawling into a chamber and turning a
valve on the compressed air pipe line
which runs along the entry. One man
was found dead with his hands
clutched so tightly about a monkey
wrench that it could not be removed.

BYRNE DESIRES TO SEE
TWO SENATOR'S ELECTED
Ills Advocacy Of J. Edward AddiekS
at This Time Does Not Cause
Any Surprise

District Attorney William Michael
Byrne published I'm the Morning News
today a letter In which he reviews the
political situation in Delaware.
The position Mr.. Byrne assumes IS
not novel While it will be remem-
bered that he was appointed United
States District Attorney for Delaware
at the instance OF Colonel DUPONT, yet
he has been in sympathy with the Ad-
dicks movement ever since the last Ma
Itional Convention.
While laying stress upon the asser-
ton that he is a Regular Republican,
Alr. Byrne expresses the opinion that it
were better to accept Addicks as one
lof the United States senators from
Delaware. rather than allow the State
TO send Democrats TO Washington to
join with Rawlins. with Patterson and
with Carmack I'm their assaults on
American progress"
In alluding TO Colonel Dupont. Mr.
lByrne says:
MY choice as TO one OF them IS well
known. I believe now. as I long be-
lheved. that the interests Of Delaware
and the nation would be best served
by the election to the Senate of a man
lwho in his student days was at the
head of his class at West Point. who
in early manhood served his country
with conspicuous ability on the battle
/ fields of the civil war. who later dis
played his capacity in the commercial
enterprises Of his country. and who is
a member of a family, who. in these
days of grave unrest in our Industrial
life, gave the other day a conspicuous
proof of how their highminded policies
have preserved for a century a spirit
Of concord between American labor
and capital"
The District Attorney goes on to say
that If 10000 Delaware Republicans,
for reasons satisfactory to themselves,
desire that Mr. Addicks should be one
of the senators. lit is not good morals
OF good politics to brand 10000 Of our
fellow w-countrymen whose votes are
necessary for Republican supremacy
as corrupt and venal men. when their
characters and their positions in the
community are known 10 contribute to
the stability OF our institutions"
