TO SEE THE BIG TREES.
e. A. TAYLOR,
Acting Secretary.

The knights Of the Middle Ages
used to be frequenters of forests and
lovers of the trees that the Druids
once worshiped. All sorts of poems
and plays have been written about
the doings of noble Knights, s'amid
forest glades and bosky dells,'' and
so it is likely to be largely matter
of inherited sentiment that will lure
thousands of Pythian knights to the
big tree groves of California in Au-
gust next. The knights Of Pythias
of the United States and Canada are
going to hold their annual gathering
in San Francisco August 11th-2Oth.
There will be business a plenty to
transact, but after it's over there will
be pleasurings all about the big State
that offers more fun for tourists to
the square mile than any other sec
ton of this round old earth. Trips
to the big trees of Mariposa or Santa
Cruz are planned and such journeys
are the impressive events of a life
time. Pictures will be made on

NOT YET, SONNY.
Go Back and Put on Your Knee
Pants Again.

One of the most conclusive features
of evidence that Goldsboro is the
generally recognized ideal city of
the State is the prevailing sentiment
abroad that if anything comes from
Goldsboro it is all right, and the
generous spirit of rivalry among our
sister towns to get into Goldsboro's
class. For instance, our contempo-
rary, the Wilson Times, has the
following In point:
s'Mr. A. M. Griffith, manager OF
the Interstate Directory Company,
who is taking census of Wilson,
finds,uponits completion that we have
by actual count 1892 people, 3,8O3
whites and 1888 colored. Accord
ing to the same company who took
Goldsboro's and Kinston's census,
GOldsboro has 6,225 and Kinston g.
800. Thus it will be seen that Viii
son is ahead of all the cities in the
East except Wilmington, in point of
population"
The truth is, either Mr.. Griffith
has lost his Hnote book' of his can
vass Of Goldsboro, Or else he is EJol-
lying" our good friend of the Wilson
Times, for the actual published pop
ulation of Goldsboro, according to
Mr.. Grihth's carefully canvassed
figures, is 8,312, This canvass, too,
was made some months ago, and as
few ever die in Goldsboro, or move
away, and we constantly go forward,
it is safe to presume that our popula-
ton now is 100000, against Wilson's
| which is 6.792.

Exercises Close.
Exercises Close.

West Point, n. Y, June II The
centennial celebration of the West
Point Military Academy was ended
today with the presentation of dip
Tomas to the graduating class. The
weather was fine and the ceremony
took place out of doors ON that part
of the parade grounds known as
E'Cavalry Plain" An open tent
over platform had been erected for
the speakers and officials and stand
ing at the front of the platform
President Roosevelt presented each
new officer with his diploma.
1t was expected the President
would make a few remarks, but he
simply shook hands with each cadet.
On the platform besides the Presi-
dent were General Horace Porter,
General Miles, Secretary Root, Sec
retary Moody, the Chinese Minister
Wu Ting Fang, Senator Pettus and
others.
The speakers were General Dick,
for the Board of Visitors; Secretary
Root for the Government and Gen
era1 Miles for the army.
The Secretary told how an old of
ficer in the late war happened to
come under the command of young
volunteer officer and yet continued
to do his duty without giving any
sign of the feelings he must have had
as an old and faithful soldier. ellis
conduct attracted attention and the
President" said the speaker,
chad already picked him out to
lead the American army to Pekin,
General A. R. Chaffee. 1t was be-
because he ruled his own spirit that
the President thought he could take
city"
General Miles remarks today
were chiefly those of an older to
younger officers and referred almost
whollyfo the business Of war. He
said there were supreme moments in
the life of a soldier, and when an Of
fcer knows he is doing just what the
enemy thinks he is not, and when
he feels one more victory has been
added to American glory. General
Miles was loudly cheered and ap-
piauded when he arose to speak.

Rural Delivery.

I have received letter from the
Honorable G. r. Thomas, member
of Congress, saying that special
agent of the Government will be in
Goldsboro during the first or second
week in July, for the purpose of es-
tablishing rural free delivery routes.
This agent will also conduct ex-
aminations for the appointment of
carriers.
A member of Congress has no
powersto appoint these carriers and
they are appointed under the rules
and regulations of the Rural Free
Delivery Service.
Congressman Thomas also writes
me that there are only two applica-
tions on file for Wayne, one from
Goldsboro and one from Mt. Olive,
and that he hopes to establish large
number of these routes in Wayne
County.
1t is important that the people in
the country interested in this matter
should take notice of it and be pre-
pared to make applications for these
routes.
1 will give any assistance that I
can 10 the matter.

WALTER, n. c., June II, 1902.
EDITOR ARGUS:-I notice in read
ing your valuable paper that there
is being brought forward names of
different gentlemen for the various
county offices. L desire to bring be-
fore the public the name of a gentle
man from Fork township for the Of
flee of County Commissioner. We
have not had a member of the board
from this section of the county for a
number of years; we think we are
entitled to one this year.
It is generally conceded that the
care of the public bridges of the
county is one Of the most important
duties connected with the Office. A
Commissioner living in this section
would be in closer touch with more
OF the bridges than one living in per-
haps any other section of the county.
The gentleman I wish to see a
member of the next board is Mr.. G..
L. BectOn. A man of the highest
character, a true Democrat, possess
| ing splendid business ability, sue
cessful in the management Of his
own affairs, courteous and kind to
all, man in whose hands the county
business would be entirely safe at all
times. B. II. SAssER.

EDITOR GonDsBoRo ARGUS:
Dear Sir:-Knowing your sincere
interest in all matters pertaining to
that great subject education, I beg
just small pace in your valuable
pages to publicly praise the partici-
pants in the commencement exer
cises of Dover High School, which
took place Thursday and Friday
nights of last week. 1t is a great
pleasure indeed for me to state truth
fully that not a single mistake was
made throughout the exercises on
either night. For this praise is due
to the efforts of Prof l.. L. Hargrave
and his esteemed wife, who, since
they have been in Dover, have
worked exceedingly hard for the adj
vancement of the young people along
educational lines.
The session Of Dover High School,
closing last Friday night, was quite
a successful one, and a still more
successful one is hoped for and ex-
pected next year.
The musical part of the exercises
deserves special mention, and the
young ladies who took part in this
showed much talent both in piano
and vocal music. Also the small
children showed that they were
trained carefully in their drills and
separate recitations.
On Friday night lectures were de-
livered by two gentlemen who are
deeply interested in the education of
the children of North Carolina, as
well as every other State. These
gentlemen were Hon. S. M. Brinson,
of Newbern, Superintendent Of Pub
the other was Rev. t. G. Coggins,
President of the Atlantic Christian
College of Wilson.
At the close of the exercises Prof.
HargraVe arose and after speaking in
high terms of Dover, its people and
his pupils, stated that he had been
requested to announce that at the
close Of the next session of Dover
High School, two gold medals would
be awarded to the two pupils, one in
the primary and one in the adj
vanced department., who received
the highest percentage in all studies;
general department and attendance
to be considered. AS soon as the
applause could be quieted DR.. Cog
gins arose and made donation
much to be appreciated, which was
a free scholarship for one year in the
Atlantic Christian College for the
pupil standing the best examination
and receiving the highest percentage
| in all studies.
| Our esteemed tOWnsman Mr.. g
| V. Richardson, then arose and il
| fitting words thanked DR.. Coggins ol
behalf of the Dover people for hi
/ generous donation. This closet
the exercises and the audience dis
/ persed for their homes.
Under the inducements put forward
and with Prof. Hargrave at the helm
we bespeak a very successful session
beginning September 10. 1902, fo
Dover High School.

nation can be accepted the govern
ment ascertains whether the lot is
suitable in all respects for the purpose
intended, with clear title, etc.

however, proposals to sell the neces-
sary land are invited by the publica-
ti;on in the local paper of an advertise
ment which gives the approximate

dences of title, ETC., deemed neces-
sary by the Acknowledgement, and

BILE opinion as to the validity of the

notice to remove improvements is
not given until some time after the

mans Music Glass Last Night.

The recital by the pupils of Mrs. |
A. B. Freeman's music class, given |
in her parlor last night, in the pres
ence of their parents and a limited |
number of invited friends, was a |
most enjoyable occasion, and one
that gave peculiar pleasure and pride |
to the parents of the pupils them
selves and must have been most graf |
flying to their excellent teacher, for
certainly did pupils never acquit |
themselves more creditably. The
program was an elaborate one, owing
to the very large number of pupils,
and every piece was rendered with
faultless precision and splendid ex-
preston.

the prize winners were announced

determined by the most careful
marking, and after a final instrument
tai contest on Friday last. The first

daughter of Mrs. Siddie Freeman,
and granddaughter of Mrs. Hannah
Freeman. The prize for the second
grade resulted in draw between
Miss Judith Edwards, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Jos. Edwards, and
Miss Clara Lee Stevens, daughter of
Mr.. B. L. Stevens, of Mt. Olive, and
in the draw was won by little Miss
Edwards. The third grade prize
was also draw between Miss Bessie
Edwards, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
J. w. Edwards, Miss Annie Den
mark, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. w.
