Goldsboro, N. c., November 19.-The
first automobile to strike this city was
paraded through the streets this morn
ing by Mr.. w. J. Matthews, the en-
gineer at the State hospital. The ma
chine attracted considerable attention
from the horses as we'll as the people.
The motive power is steam n it
leaves a cloud of steam in its wake.
Others of different pattern are expect
ed to soon make their appearance.
The police are looking for a negro
who has beer selling a small black
stone which he claimed would enable
the possessor to perform miracles. He
disposed of a number of the rocks to
persons who had such little sense to
buy them. One old negro who paid
1925 for the magic stone reported to
the mayor that the stone would not do
it's work and the mayor has instructed
the police to look out for this coon of
the Hoodoo variety whose name is
Jim Allen.

PRITCHARD THEN AND NOW.

Only a few weeks ago President
Roosevelt while on a trip to the west
went out Of his way on the return jour
Hey to pay a visit to his dear friend
Pfitchard in his mountain home in
western North Carolina. He was the
guest Of the senator at Asheville where
a grand reception was given him, with
Pritchard as master of ceremonies. the
best-beloyed Of the president in all this
southland. his adviser and his confidant.
Then it was that the schemes were be-
ing laid and the plans marked out for
forcing the negro out Of the republican
party in this and other southern states.
The president seemed nightly pleased
with the idea. While admitting that he
did not know much about the political
situation at the south. he had full conf
dence in his friend and taunch supper
ter and gave him carte blanche to pro-
coed as he thought best in the move
ment for a white republican party. He
was so much pleased with the idea that
he m the senator to Oyster
Bay to further talk the matter over.
Even then all was serene. Booker
Washington. Clarkson and the negro
bishops a not been heard from. but
they soon put in an appearance. No
body knows except those present wha
occurred at that famous White house
conference. 1t is enough that the ne
groes come ava smiling and in a short
while the leader of the lily white w
ment in Alabama is dismissed from Of
Pritchard is no longer in favor.
Pritchard goes to Washington. but does
not go neal the White house. There is
no invitation now to lunch with the
president The latter leaves the city
without a word to his former ally and
supporter.
The scene again shifts to the noun
tains of western North Carolina. Again
the president is on his return to the
City Of Washington and his route takes
him by the home OF the senator. But
there is to be no stop. no reception. with
the senator the central figure in doing
honor to the chief magistrate of the
land. As the train speeds by the town
of Marshall the president will have a
glimpse of the portico Of the senator's
law office from which the latter's friend
in. a political speech put in nomination
II. A. Hanna for the presidency in 1904
and the thoughts that will arise in him
will soften the disappointment of the
fruitless pear built in the jungles of
Mississippi. The Pritchard of yester-
day. the dispenser of federal patronage
throughout all the south, with bright
hopes OF becoming famous as the Moses
OF his party who shall lead it out Of
Egyptian darkness in the south, re-
warded by his president for his services

A ~PRoTECTIONIsT VICTORY.

The st. Paul Globe, a leading demo-
cratic newspaper of Minnesota declares
h a the results Of the late election for
members of congress was a protection

agrees with The Globe in a lengthy edi-
torial on the subject. The Post says
that how true this contention of The
Globe is may be seen in the returns
from the leading manufacturing states
Of the cas- and in the old northwest.
The Post takes Indiana as a fair exam

Until some years after the war issues
ceased to be available for winning re-
publican victories. the Indiana republi-
cans discussed the tariff question very
gingerly in their platforms. 'Incidel l.

all the world, being. as 1t is. sitn
in the beautiful valley of the French
Broad river and surrounded by som-
of the prettiest and grandest mountain
scenery in the land.

The Battery Park is located IN an
elevated point almost in the center Of
the city. 1 never have seen anywhere
a hotel more delightfully."- situated.
From it some of the most noted Jul

among which is Mount Pisgah, which
stands high above other mountains

Among the many improvements of
this up-to-date, progressive, beautiful
mountain city, is the new county court

kind in the south.

the office of the Asheville Citizen,
which is now under the able manage

Merritt's management The Citizen has
greatly improved and its circulation
much increased. On about December

That is a new use 10 which a man in
Jail at Greensboro wishes to put the
writ Of habeas corpus. Instead OF in
yoking its aid to get himself out of
prison he wishes by its means to have
the law bring his wife to jail in order
that she may administer To his com
forts. This is especially hrazen as he is
in jail on a charge of attempting to kill
her. He wants her forced by law to
visit him every day in his confinement.

Portuondo was a speech made the day
before by a fellow congressman in
which he uttered many words of
praise and commentator of his gov
This aroused his anger be-
You'd all control and he proceeded to
pour out the walls of his wrath upon
the heads of the American people.
While all Cubans are not followers
of Senior P%ortuondo, there are many
citizens of that island who are in SYM
pathy with him in his hostility to-
ward the United States, and the indi-
cations are that this sentiment is
growing. The failure of congress at
the last session to pass the Cuban re-
%ciprocity bill and thereby grant these
people some relief from their Distress
ing financial conditions has done much
to increase this unfriendly feeling to-
ward us. Congress refused this aid
because a few American concerns
would thereby have their immense
profits cut down. This was enough to
put a check on the, increasing trade
England and Germany an opportunity
to strengthen their hold commercially
on Cuba, instead of having the bulk
of her trade, which they formerly en-
joyed, diverted to the United States.
This was short sighted policy on the
part of our lawmakers and an error
that cannot easily be remedied. Still,
with all this it furnishes no excuse
for such display of ingratitude and
hatred as hat of Senior P]ortuondo.

Another visitors match was ar
ranged by the officers of the Interstate
Shoot yesterday. The Morning News
indicated that a meeting of the officers
would be held for this purpose, as the
Charleston companies were anxious
that some contest be fixed that would
lend them a better chance of landing a
prize.
The new match is to be known as the
"Visitors' Regimental Match" and is
to be open to teams of ten from regi-
ments, unassigned batallions, COM
panies or batteries outside of Georgia
The shooting will be only at 200 yards
The first prize will be SIS, the second
$50 and the third SIS. 1t is expected
that many visiting teams will be en-
tered.
Letters received from officers by
Capt. Coney indicate that there is to
be no lack of teams. Adjt. Gen. w
w Brandon of Alabama writes that he
will write a personal letter to every
command in Alabama, urging that it
send a team.
Two of the Birmingham companies
have combined for the construction of
range near that place. They are en-
thusiastic over sending their teams.
Capt. Coney expects to go to
Charleston tomorrow, where he will
give the officers a talk on behalf of the
shoot. This will be the last of the ex-
petitions he will make, as he believes
his time can be better employed in
keeping in touch with those he has al
ready met by correspondence.
Capt. Coney yesterday took up the
matter of the trip of the Hornets Net
Rifles of Charlotte with the Southern
Railway. 1t is expected that a prop
osition will be made the company to
take an excursion trip to Savannah
during the shoot instead of going to
Norfolk. The captain of the company
expressed himself to Capt Ae,oney as
favoring a trip to Savannah, rather
than to Norfolk.
