Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1903-10-01

! The election of a bishop coadiutor
for the East Carolina Diocese will
take place in this city, in st. Steph-
ems Episcopal church, on the 7Ih OF
October. There will be over 200
clergy and laymen present to par
ticipate and the congregation are
making extensive preparations to
entertain the delegates.
The farmers r bringing their
cotton to market as fast as they can
pick it out and gin it. John street
Saturday was crowded for several
blocks with carts and wagons tOaded
with the feecy staple. Therecent drop
in the price has caused the planters
to fear further decrease and they are
taking no chances on that score, but
are selling all they ear get ready.
Furniture factories, cotton facto-
ries, agricultural works, oil mills,
mattress factories, lumber mills,
buggy factories and all other rn;,lu-
factories in Goldsboro have u,ade
money. Why would no a sash aud
blind factory pay. Think OF Tie many
thousands of dollars sent away from
Goldsboro within the past three
years for sash, doors, blinds and
other mill works.
The Hon. Stephen Mcintyre, of
the law firm of Mcintyre & Law
renee, of Lumberton, N. c., will adj
dress the people of Goldsboro on the
subject of the abolition of the saloon,
Friday night, October End. The
place will be made known in a later
announcement. Mr.. Mcintyre comes
from a "dry town" and will be pre-
pared to tell of the practical effects
of prohibition. Come out and hear
him.
Mr.. David H. Haley, general
agent of the Sig. Sautelle's big rail
road shows, was in the city to-day
making preparations for the ap..t.5r-
ance of the show in this city ru tue
10th of October. This is a ,le,r at
traction for this part of the cut....ry.
The agent claims. however, th.l 1t
is equal to any show that mas ever
this section. The people alc
hungry for a show and the attraction
will, no doubt, be well patronized.
The broom drill in the tobacco
warehouse last week for the benefit
of the organ fund of the Episcopal
church was a great success and the
promoters realized a handsome sum !
from the undertaking. Capt. Cohen,
Of the Goldsboro Rifles, had Teen
drilling twenty young ladies in the |
manual OF arms, (broOms) for the |!
past month, and they went through
with the commands that night with
a rythm and precision which showed
we'll they had been instructed.
. large crowd was present to witness
performance and the ladies dis !
pensed delightful refreshments.
The Wilmington Messenger con-
tains the following paragraph which !
will be read with interest and the
departure copied with profit by other
counties: "The superior court of
New Hanover county in future will
nave two distinct bibles for witnesses
70 kiss. One set will be for the whites
and the other for the blacks, and this
dea, which is a good one, will be in
lugurated with all new holy books.
The change is made by an order to
hat effect made yesterday by Judgel
Walter HI. Neal, and this order also
for the purchase of six new
'ibles to be used for the purpose
nentioned.n
There RI now tw~enty-one able-i
'odied convicts working on the
Dads in Wayne county, and they
re doing good work, too. Duplin,
'reen and Sampson countiss do not
york their own convicts, and it
GEMS to us that it would be well for
county to endeavor to get
ne cOnvicts from those counties. It
'ould require no additional force to
uard twice the number of convictsl
nat we now have and the expense
feeding twice the number would
ecrease the average cost for feeding
that we now have. The peO-
lie of Wayne county want good
'ads, because they know good roads
ay.
