The leugthnin' of day:
Night draweth ngh:-My soul and l
Are weary o the way.
Are weary o. the way
Whore Winter wceps for May;
The last. sweet rest
With flowers ABREAST
An that's Lies holidays
We've had our dreams in years gone by
An then our bitter wakin.
And sweet came song, the way along,
Whist the poor heart was breakin
But. weary O the way.
Song thrills no more the May;
The Silence seems
To sing through dreams
or Lies last holiday!
We've had our toll. and orr reward,
A-journeying down the years;
God gave rs Love-an gifts above
And the sweet gift of tears.
But. weary o the way,
We greet the shadows gray,
And thankful rest
With flowers abreast.

rid of these negroes without disrupting

They furnish the great bulk Of the la
bor They are an integral part of south
ern society and are essential to it,
Are they laborers full of shortconings2
Very likely; yet to the marvellous de-
velopment Of the south in the last TWEEN
~ years their labor has been a prime
contribution. Southern agriculture de-
ponds on them. Would there be a $780,
900 600 cotton crop this year if negroes
were not pretty good agricultural la
b0rers? How can the south re very
badly off for labor when it is becOm-

sentiment which viii protect them

another SERIOUS ACCIDENT
ON THE SOUTHERN ROAD
NEAR THIS CITY YES
TERDAY.
Mr.. J. w. Wilkins Dray Was Struck
Near Here Yesterday After
noon, Killing His Horse
and Breaking His
Own Leg.

Mr.. J. w. Wilkins, who operates
a dray wagon on the streets of this
city, had his horse killed on the
Southern Railroad near Little river
bridge last Friday afternoon and had
his left leg broken just above the
ankle. The accident happened at
the crossing at Wells brick yard.
Mr.. Wilkins was going to the
shingle mill of Mr.. A. 7. Griffin.
The train from Raleigh due here at
O'Clock was few minutes behind
time. There was a funeral in prog
ress at the colored cemetery. Mr..
Wilkins had been watching the fu-
neral and did not see the approach
ing train coming through the covered
bridge until it was in a few feet of
him and when he did see it he be-
came excited and got his reins en-
tangled. In trying to pull his horse
from the railroad track he pulled
the wrong rein anu pulleu IHe animal
on the track just in time for the en-
CINE to strike it. The horse was kill
ed instantly and terribly mangled.
The front wheels of the wagon were
smashed and MIR. Wilkins was
thrown to the ground, receiving sew
eral bruises on the head and body,
breaking one bone in his hand and
breaking his left leg.
The train was stopped and passen-
gers helped to put Mr.. Wilkins in a
chair and put him in the baggage
car. He was brought on to the city
and carried to his residence, where
medical aid was summoned.

DEPUTIES A1TACKE ED.
State Troops Are Now Guarding
Prisoner Who is Charged
With the Killing of
His Wife.

Sparta, Wis, June 6.-Two
companies Of the national guard
of this state are now protecting
the Jail here, where Samuel Mot
gomery is confined charged with
the murder of his wife. The jail
was surrounded at 2 o'clock this
morning by mob which has as
sembled to lynch Montgomery.
About a hundred men dashed
toward the rear of the jail.
The deputies on guard fired and
the men stopped. Sheriff Cas-
sells, however, was afraid that
his deputies would not be able
to withstand a serious assault
and appealed for aid to the gov
ernor. Two companies of mi
litia were ordered out, and they
are now On guard here.

HELD IN PRINCETON YES
TERDAY AFTERNOON.
SPEECHES FINE.
Memories of Pleasant RecollectiOns
Came Back to This Reporter
AS He Sat In That
Beautiful Edifice
Yesterday.

By the merest chance this re-
potter happened to be present at the
Methodist church in Princeton Sun
day afternoon to witness the chill
dren's day exercises of the Sunday
School.
The church inside was very hand
somely decorated for the occasion
and every available seat in the neat
and cozy edifice was occupied. Not
only were the townspeopJe present,
but a number of parents and children
from the surrounding country were
present also.
The exercises would have done
credit to any Sunday School in the
country. The children were all neat
ly dressed and their bright faces, as
each appeared in the chancel and re-
cited the lines assigned them, must
have caused the hearts of their pa
rents to swell with pride. The
promptness with which each child
responded to their parts and the
manner in which they delivered
their short recitatIons, both in prose
and poetry, showed that they had re-
ceived excellent training from some
source and reflected the highest
credit, both on the speaker and the
teacher.
AS the reporter sat and watched
the exercises a flood Of pleasant recol-
lections came rolling by. This is the
same church in which we received
our Sunday school training and the
teachers in charge last Sunday were
the same, with one or two exceptions,
that were in charge twenty-five years
ago, a time before the Sunday school
quarterlies, now so popular with
teachers and pupils alike, made their
appearance in this section, if they
were printed al all. In those days
the New Testament, with a thin
cover and miserably printed on COM
mon paper, was the only book that
Sunday school scholar had. We re-
member we'll the hard words which
we could not pronounce and which
often caused the teacher some trouble
to call Alright. The Biblical names
were not divided by hyphens and
with accent marks as they are in the
Te,taments nowadays. But with
such Disadvantages before us the
Sunday school had attractions
enough to draw a crowd and we are
glad to say that we were one of the
crowd. The instruction received and
the impressions then made have
never left us. Often when seated in
more pretentious places of worship
memory steal back to the old church
with its bare benches, plain chancel
rail, neatly adorned altar and modest
organ sitting in one corner-all OF
which is our childhood's ideal place
of worship and will ever remain as
sacred as the words "Mother, Home
and Heaven"

Letter to j. W. Lamb.
Goldsboro, n. G.

GoIdsboro, N. c..
Dear Sir: Messrs. Leachman &
Edelin, Grafton, w. Va, had been
selling paint, which they thought
we'll of; and this had occurred:
They had sold a customer Is gal
Ions of it to paint his house. A few
years later, they sold the same man
Devoe lead-and-zinc the same num-
ber of gallons to paint the same
house. He had Z gallons left.
The point of the tale is: IL gallons
Devoe paints an 18-gallon house.
Of course, that isn't all.
Why does IL gallons Devoe go as
far as Is gallons of other paint? Be
cause it is all paint, all true, no
sham, and full measure.
But that isn't all. Devoe lasts
longer. No, no; you haven't got to
wait ten years to find that out. Ten
thousand people know it. We've
got their names. Our agents know
them; they think heap of Devoe.
There's no difficulty in showing
your townspeople what to expect of
Devoe. $40 will paint a SIS house;
and the paint'n last twice as long.
Yours truly,
F, w. DEvOE & Co.,
P. S, Smith & Yelverton sell our
paint.

DEMAND FOR LABORERS.

| With the wholesale introduction
of labor-saving machinery 20 and 80
years ago came a temporary disar-
rangement of the worlds economic
system whereby there seemed to be
| more men than there was work for
them to do. Hence the over-conser-
vative deplored the advent of ma
chinery and pointed out that the
time would come when everybody
! would be thrown out of employment
and all but a favored few would
starve to death.
The absurdity of this view was not
plainly evident until within recent
years, although the wiser prophets
saw in machinery nothing less than
the only true solution of the econo-
mic riddle-the problem of how to
give everybody a plenty when there
is not enough to go round.
Ten years ago we had what was
called "the Army of the Unemploy-
ed" That army is no more. The
unemployed men of to-day are those
who remain in voluntary idleness,
either in obedience to the mandates
of labor unions or for, other causes.
1t is the employer who is clamoring
to-day for workmen, not workmen
who are begging for employment.
All over the globe the cry is for
more men. The industries of the
world have so multiplied and ex-
panded that there are not workers
enough to carry them on. In British
South Africa there is such scarcity
of labor that there is talk of import
ing coolies from China and India.
On the Pacific coast the shortage of
farm labor is so great that agents
are securing the country to find those
who will fill the ranks. The scarcity
of farm labor is not confined to that
section alone, but exists all over the
country. Men have been attracted
to the towns and into the manufac-
turing Industries which have sprung
up so rapidly during the past few
years. The situation is thus COM
mented on by the Chicago Drovers'
Journal:
"There are various reasons given
for this scarcity of farm help, but
there is no doubt that the railroads
are responsible in a measure. Some
Of the roads are employing larger
number of men on construction work
and in their shops, but a much larger
number have been taken to new
farming countries. The Illinois Cen
trail alone has induced thousands of
good healthy farmers to take up the
work in the South, where millions
of acres have been developed and are
now developing, and large number
of people who in past years have
been working for wages are now
down in Mississippi, Louisiana,
Texas, Tennessee and Kentucky,
working on land that will soon be
their own, raising berries, garden
truck, cotton, fine stock and grasses"
ssMen-more men - is the cry
which to-day sounds the keynote of
the economic situation. Such a state
of affairs can have but one climax
a general further increase in the price
Of all kinds of labor.

GOLDSBORO TALENT.
High HOnOrs For Three of Our
Young Citizens at the
Bingham School,
Near MahanR

Near Mebane.
Mr.. Doyle B. Privett, son of the
late B. M. Privett, who for the past
two years has been attending the
Bingham School, near Mebane, has
been rendered and has accepted the
position Of Physical Director and In
structor in the gymnasium for next

time at Bingham this summer when
he will devote himself privately to
the study of history and pedagogy.
We are glad to see such prefer
ments bestowed upon our Goldsboro
young men and bespeak for Mr..
Privett continued success.
We are also pleased to know that
Mr.. Arthur jenkins, son of Capt.
and Mrs. r. c. Jenkins, was distin-
guished in application and popular

GOLDSBORO LIBRARY.
II Is Steadily Growing In Popular
Favor.

The free circulating library insti-
tuted by the Goldsboro Woman's
Club some months ago, and that has
been, indeed, already success be-
yond the first expectations, is now so
generally patronized and its volumes
are so well selected to meet the best
literary taste, as to justify the asser-
tion that the library is no longer an
experiment, but is one of Goldsboro's
established and growing institutions
and certainly is it one of the best
possible factors in the progress of our
community towards "Greater Colds
boro."
All praise to the Woman's Club
for its untiring efforts, answering
purpose and unawed spirit of phil
anthropy which carved its way in
the face of manifold obstacles to the
achievement of success in this under
taking.
The library is open every Friday
morning from 9 o'clock to 1920
o'clock, for the taking out AID re-
turning of books, and on every vol
ume the rules and regulations gov
erning the circulation are printed, so
that every one may understand just
how long book can remain out.
We here give the weekly circula-
tiOn of the library for the past four
months showing a steady Increase
even during the school months-and
it will be greater during the vacation
