Goldsboro. n. c., March 21.-Rain to-
day prevented the first game of base
ball scheduled to take place in this city
this season. One week ago the Junior
Base Ball team of this city went to
Kinston and were defeated by a score
of 6 to 3 by the Juniors Of that town,
and the home boys intended to redeem
their reputation today. The kinston
BOWS arrived on time his morning and
the battle would have been ought to
a finish if the weather had been pro-
pitious. The Goldsboro boys are very
desirious of administering a dose of de-
feat which had been carefully COM
pounded.
The meeting of farmers in the court
house in this city for the purpose OF
organization was postponed on account
Of the rain which prevented the farm
ers from coming to town. A call for
another meeting at a later date will
O be published.
Colonel w. T. Dortch, of the Colds
boro bar, has returned to the city from
Kinston, where he represents the de-
IendanI III the recent SHoollAS @Cidpe

reporter Colonel Dortch said that he
now has five capital cases on hand in
different sections of the state.
Right much anxiety is felt by truck
ers Of this section over the early bloom
ing of the pea crop. The very moderate
weather has caused peas to bloom q
week earlier than usual. which would
work to the advantage of the trucker:
if such weather should continue, blu
in case of a freeze. which there is ever!
reason to believe will come n which
usually come at a later period. the PEI
! crop would be almost a total failure.

which will go with the sale. These
will have to be overhauled and many
more added. The first thing will be the
appointment by the president OF the
seven commissioners, who, together
with himself, will nave charge of the
work.
When we get to work the first step
will be what might be called a general

sanitary work for the protection Of the
health and ives of the people who will
be employed on the isthmus. There

along the whole line to make it posi-

effort will be made to exterminate hin
O. induce him to shift his quarters
during the period of construction Of

granted that the Central American
mosquito carries in his system a!

TUESDAY,. MARCH a..
WHAT WILL THE president DO'

What will President Roosevelt do
now about the Cuban reciprocity
treaty? One of his chief reasons Tor
calling the senate in extraordinary ses-
sion was that this treaty might De
ratified before the expiration OF the
time limit. which is April 1st. Ihls
was one of his pet schemes. He has
been determined ever since he has
been president that We should nave a
reciprocity treaty with the young re-
public. When the term of the t1fty-
seventh congress expired without us
confirmation by the senate he called
that body in executive session for the
next day for the purpose of acting on
this and the ana treaty. He car
ried his point as to the latter. II mas
been ratified. 1t is true the senate
also ratified the Cuban reciprocity, but
after adding to it such as
postponed it's going into effect until
next December unless there is an ex-
ira legislative session of congress-
that is. of 10Th Gus In q clause
added TO the treaty the senate declared
IQdI liz ldlISA oAAONAN
when approved of by the congress,
which means. of course, that the con-
sent of the house of representatives Is
also necessary. The second section OF
the treaty, nevertheless, provides tnat
there n be an exchange of ratlfca-
lions before March 31st n that the
treaty shall go into effect ten days

shall not be effective until after the
house of representatives approves 1t
The time for notifications expires
March 31st
The state department seems to be
bewildered by these conflicting proVls,
ions. The general impression, upor
what study the department official:
this limited time, is that the treat!
has been defeated.
1t is strange that none of the friend
OF the treaty discovered this IN
consistency before it was too late t
correct it. The fact that it was s.
worded probably had a good deal t
do with the ease with which 1t wa
