WE GO FORWARD.

[wEgE--
The expansion of the United
States in sill branches of industry
is well, aud, it would appear, au-
thoritatively illustrated in a pub
LEGATION recently issued by the
Bureau of Statistics of the Treas
ury Department. The phenomen-
al progress Can not well be COM
pretended unless we settle our
selves 10 a calm consideration of
the facts.
Since 1866 we have increased
our yield of wheat nearly four
fold and u yield of co n has
more than doubled. Il 1900 the
production of cotton was sixty
t'mes larger than il 1900. In
1901 we raised more than els 1t
times a. much wouI as 10 1910, in
] sri e Of tie deserted hills III Yer
mont and the passlag # Ohio.
We are producing n arly 100
times as much pig srontsln 1880,
| 125 times as mucl petroleum as
in 1850, and ninety tim s AS much
coal as in 1850.
Such figures are calculated 10
make the reflective man d zzy, and
they are only a few which might
be compiled to show the trium.
plant progress of industry. Since
1900 our exports have increased
t~ enty-foId and our imports near
ly ten-fo d. Our rti'ways carried
ne4rly four times IS much freight
a mile in 1900 as in 1882, the ton
mile rate falling in the meantime
from one cent and a quarter to
about three-fourths of a cent. To
this development there is no end
Immediately in SIGHT. While there
tavs been temporary ba ksets, and
there will be such again, the gem
eral gain is steady and rapid. W.
have not yet begun to sound the
limits of our riches and resources.
There is still great wealth beyond
in undiscovered mines, in arid
lands which await the irrigation
! aud in opportunities which have
never been utilized. TIE future
of the country should fill every
American with hope and conf
dence, for our commercial su-
premacy is secure.

WOMAN FARMER.

In these latter days women
have not only entered more
largely than ever before into bus
mess and professional life, but
have achieved remarkable suo-
cess in lines of effort that narrow
minded men until recently sup
posed them incapable of pursus1
ing probably. The old idea that
women are not capable Of coping
with practical problems has. re-.
csived so many. contradictions in
actual experience that it may be
fairly said 30 be effectively .diss
posed of now.
Miss Minns Eshleman, of Cali
fornia,. would be an interesting
witness for these narrow the
cries OF woman's possibilities to
examine. 4
This woman bought in 1887
586 acres of land near Fresno,
Cal. It had been hardly improv-
ed at all and it's present condition
is due entirely to the efforts OF
Miss Eshleman.
BY persistent and ingenious
effort she has brought the condi-
ton Of all the land she originally
purchased up to a very high
standard, has increased her hold.
ings largely and improved them
to a like degree of excellence.
She planted grapes, peaches ,ap-
ricots, prunes and other fruits
and her orchards have proved
very profitable.
Some years ago she establish.
ed a dairy and by keeping it up
in the most approved style has
made 1t produce famous. One of
her latest enterprises is a large
cannery built and equipped
out of the profits of her orchards
and dairy. Besides she is going
more largely every year into the
raising of blooded cattle and
horses.
She is credited with having
discovered and perfected a new
system of eliminating all dis
agreeable odor of grass and other
COW feed from her butter, which
is in steady demand ct higher
prices than are paid for the aver
age article. It took the gold
medal over all competitors at the
California State fair to years ago
and she has also won the gold
medal for the farm showing the
greatest variety and best average
quality of products at the State
fair. One of the trophies OF this
remarkable woman was bestowed
for the excellence of the olive
Oil. made on her own farm.
She has refuaed S175, 900 for
her property. It has o cost one
sixth Of that sum and it's value is
steadily increasing.
Among all the wonderful ex.
hlbits that California can make
we doubt if any is more admir-
able than this woman and the re-
suits of her genius and industry.

PART ~.
WYANDOTTES.

The Wyandotte is another of
the general purpose f owls and is
rated next to the Plymouth Rock
From the first it sprang into pop
ular favor and has continued SO
to the present time. It's origin is
comparatively recent, dating
back less than thirty years, It
came originally from the Dark
Brahma, Silver Spangled Hams
burg, and the Breda, a French
fowl.
Not a few authorities say
that Wyandottes have Cochin
blood TX them, from the fact that
their ancestors produced single
combs and feathered legs.
For general purposes the Wy
andottes haye proved a success,
being of medium size. weighing
on an average a pound less than
the Plymouth Rocks, hardy of
constitution, and prolific layers.
They are easily cared for aud
bear confinement we'll. For table
purposes they are Of superior
worth, their flesh is sweet, juicy
and tender, making excellent
broilers and ~roasters.
AS layers, they are among the
best, averaging from twelve to
fourteen dCzen a year, and as
winter layers they do we'll under
ordinary circumstances.
There are five varieties Of the
Wyandotte breed. audit is only
a matter of opinion as regards a
choice Of the best. The general
characteristics are the same in
all, the difference in color Of
plumsge being the only disting.
suishing mark.
The Silver-laced Wyandotte is
of a silvery.white plumage, with
regularly marked white lacing
on breast. and a generous distri-
button of white and black
throughout the entire body. The
cock has a silvery-white head,
rose comb, silver hackle, with 9
black stripe down the centre Of
each feather; silvery.white back
saddle same as hackle; breas'
black with white centse; tai
black; wings half black and hal
white,. or rather black, edged
with white, when wing is folded
there should be a well-de6net
bar across the wing; shanks anc
toes RICH yellow, free from feath
,ering. The hen. of the SILVER
laced variety is marked similarly
to the male, excepting the bacl
and wing, which are whittier ii
male than in female. The breas
<of the female is Of much impor
7tance in breeding good birds: th'
facing should oe large and dis
tinct. and the white centers o
each feather from black or brow
pencillDg.

Another instance of the result
of carrying concealed weapons is

man, 20 years of age, this morn
ing at Fremont, in consequence
of a pistol shot in the side, re-
ceived last night ON the road
about four miles from the town,

Mr. ThOs. r. FOust, Brother OF
the Retiring Superinten-
dent Elected.
Daily Argus of Friday.
The Board of Trustees of the
Goldsboro Public Schools met
last ri hit, and after a careful can
vass of the several aspirants for
the position of superintendent of
the schools, mads vacant by the
resignation of superintendent J. L.
Foust, who goes to the faculty OF
the Greensboro State Normal,
elected Mr.. Thos. R. Foust, d
brother of the retiring supernn-
tendent, who has most saiiefsctor-
lily filed a similar position for
several years over the Public
Schools of Newborn, N. @.
The administration of our
schools byMr. J. J..Feust, during
the period of years that he has
been their superintendent, has
been SO uniformly satisfactory to
Trustees, patrons, teachers and
pupils, that the Board. of Trus.
tees, in selecting his successor,
had in mind the man who could
nearest fill his place, and in his
brother, Mr.. 7. r. Foust, they
have, doubtless, found the right
man.
He will come to the euperinten.
dency of our schools with the full
sympathy of our entire commun.
ity and we have no doubt that the
Goldsboro Schools under his adj
ministration will continue to stand
unexcelled for scholarship any
where in the country.

THE WATERMELON CASES..
q i {
The Jury Gives E. H
Parker a Verdict.
And the Other Nine Cases Will
? be Covered by the Same
} f. Rr1liur. s5

TIE trial jury Frid-y alters
noon IN the case Of q. H.. Parker
against the Atlantic Coast Line,
rendered a verdict for $l64 in
favor of the plaintiff. This case
was interesting because it estab-
'Iiehed a ruling for nine other cares
Of like character. It had been
agreed among counsel that the
findings of the jury in this case
should govern the Others and the
case occupied the time Of the
court for two days.
e. Fl. Parker was suing for the
loss of a car load Of watermelons
in July, 1901. The car was ship.
ped from Dudley in this county
on the Oath of July and was de-
layed on the Pennsylvania rails
road for some days. When it did
reach New York the melons did
not sell for enough to pay the
freight charges. In making their
verdict yesterday the jury esti-
mated the cost OF melons at what
they would have sold for had
they reached New York at the
expected time. This estimate
is to apply to the nine other
cases in the same way. They
are entitled to recover the
amount for which their truck
would have sold had it reached
the market on schedule time.
In view of the fact that there
are several thousand car loads of
truck shipped annually over the
Atlantic Coast Line, the above
decision will be important in
the future. Mr.. r. E. Pipkin, one
of the oldest and possibly the
largest truck shippers in this sec
ton, was the first to Institute
proceedings against the railroads
to recover damages for delay in
transportation. His case was de-
cided in his favor last year and
the cases which came up in Su-
perior Court here last week
would never have been heard Of
had Mr.. Pipkin failed in his suit.

Cathcart lasted four months in Massa-
cheusetts and finally succeeded and the
other eleven states followed on the same
line.
Baptists were imprisoned in several
counties in Virginia because Of their OPP
position to the state church.
In the great revolution Of 1I7s Baptists
were first to oppose the British yoke.
Only one Baptist preacher was found
among the Tories, Morgan Edwards. and
that was on account OF relatives on the
other side. All the Baptist preachers
in London, save two, were in sympathy
number that were banished from this
country on account of their disloyalty
to the country in the revolution. not
Baptist was found among them.
President Washington commended
Rev. John Gano and others tor the part
they took in that great struggle for lib
erty. Baptists were generally opposed to
the negro slavery and passed resolutions
forbldding the extension or existence
of slavery in several states. Several
Baptist preachers openly opposed slavery
and one association in Kentucky was
divided on the question many years be-
fore the civil war. A Baptist commenced
the publication of a paper advocating the
abolition of slavery in 1882. President
Lincolns parents were Baptists and he
said he owed all he was 70 his good
mother.
Colored Baptist preachers were ordain-
ed to preach the gospel in the first quar-
ter of the nineteenth century and
Lot Cary. a colored preacher, was sent
to Liberia as missionary in 4S22: anoth-
er was sent from the north TO Georgia In

OBJECTS TO ADVICE
FROM Mr.. CLEVELAND

To the Editor of The Journal:
I ask space TO protest against the per-
sistent stress laid by certain Democratic
newspapers on the utterances of Grover
Cleveland, ex-president. to Democrats.
To the rank and file this seems fatuous.
They know him as one, who, nominally
a Democrat, was raised from obscurity
to position OF trust and honor by the party
and who, while enjoying this position, en-
ployed every means to disrupt the party
and rave treacherously aid and comfort
to the enemy.
Anyone, who takes the trouble to COM
pare them, will find the platform Of 1895
in accord with every platform put forth by
the Democra party as well as with the
doctrines OF Jefferson. when he so signally
defeated the Federalist centralizers.
Cleveland's treachery, therefore, was
w.-lout extenuation.
To cite his views, as guide to Dem
ocracy, . about as wise as 1t would have
been for Washington to have tried to In
spirit his y.ar-worn heroes at Va.Iey Forge
by some appeai from Benedict Arnold.

A QUESTION AS TO
STATE SOVEREIGNTY

To the Editor Of The Journal
desire to PROFOUND a question to you
and your readers, and hope that it will
be answered without any equivocation. II
Is the following:
Has the southern wing of the Demo
cratic party discarded the doctrine OF
state sovereignty? I know that General
Hancock, in his letter of acceptance as a
candidate for president of the United
States. said that secession was killed SO
dead and buried so deep that 1t would
never again be resurrected. But re-
member that the papers and leading poll
ticians OF the south made no comment on
that part of the letter OF General Han
cock. Respectfully.
