Goldsboro, N. c., July 24-Mr. e. w.
Cox had a small fire at his residence night
before last which escaped notice be-
cause the fire alarm was not turned in.
A. lamp exploded and the burning oil
ruined the furniture in the room and
destroyed the wall paper. Mr.. Cox was at
hcme at the time and his prompt work
in extinguishing the flames prevented a
serious fire.
At the mass meeting in the opera house
last night, called by the Antl-Saloon
League to discuss the holding Of an cleo
ton on the prohibition question, 1t was
decided to circulate a petition for the
required number of names to be presented
to the city aldermen, which IS one-third
of the registered voters, and then ask
the aldermen to call an election within
thirty days afterward. There was a gen.
eral discussion of the subject among those
present.
State Councillor Geo. e. Hood, accom-
panied by delegation from the lodge IN
this city, went down to Mt. OllVe yester-
day afternoon and installed the officers for
a new lodge Of the Junior Order OF Cni-

STAY IN NORTH CAROLINA.

The editor of this paper, in an address
before the Summer Normal School at the
A. and M. College last week, sought to
show why young Norm Carohnians ought
to turn a deaf ear to the temptation to
20 away from the State. The next day a
young teacher of good education said that
several months ago, he had almost
decided to go to California, and asked the
editor what he thought of the prospects in
California, if, in spite of inducements at
home, a young man was determined to go
West. Because there may be readers of
this paper suffering with the Western
fever" we quote below the views OF Mr..
Spainhour, a citizen of Forsyth county,
who went to California last February. At
ter few months residence in that State
Mr.. Spainhour writes to the Winston Re.
publican and gives his experience in Cali
fornia. 1t is from one who followed his
inclination and tried the Pacific slope aid
likes it, but the writer points out the rea-
son why no young man who wants a home
should go to that State. We quote:
Eyes, repeat, this is a fine country
and delightful climate and the man that
has a home here is all rignt, but if without
a home, it is hard for him to get one, for
have not found any land that can be
bought for less than three hundred dollars
per acre, and if there is any Improvement
it is much higher There are home-seek-
ers coming here every day, more or less,
and l find by talking with them that a
great many are disappointed, not because
they don't hike this country but because
they find it impossible to secure homes
here have talked with men from every
one of the States between the Mississippi
River and the Rocky Mountains, and they
all say that all of the desirable land has
been taken up and the great West is full.

advice to young men to go West is no long
ger in order, but should be changed to Go
South, young man. go South, for it is my
honest opinion that the cheap lands of the
South will soon be the home-seeker's only

A SPLENDID RESPONSE.
high Point Contributes Generously for the
States Exhibit at st. Louis.
Especial to News and observer.)

Especial to News and Obseryer)
High Point. N. c., July 24.-Twcnty-
hundred dollars subscription to the States
exhibit at the st. Louis Exposition in
about twenty-five minutes, was the result
of meeting of our manufacturers with
Mr. F. b Arendell. one of the Governors
representatives. held at the Ellwood Hotel
last night.
1t was a meeting of business men on
matter that appealed to their bust
ness interest as well as their State pride.
The meeting was made up Of such men
as j. Elwood Cox, DR.. Bradshaw, the
SHOWS, the Kirklands. Mr.. Gurley, the
Tates, the Reagans. Mr.. Long. Mr.. Bridg-
ers, Mr.. Frazier, the Wrenns and others of
like enterprise and public spiritedness and
with such men as these it took but a
few minutes TO get down to business.
The plans and purpose of the Cover
nor and the department were briefly dis
cussed. They were heartily endorsed by
every man present. and in few moments
the total amount above specified was sub
scribed and there are still other equally
enterprising High Pointers to hear from.
1t is believed that High Points total
contribution to the exposition fund will
amount to three thousand dollars. That
il way we've got of doing things Every
body knows that High Point is the storm
centre of hardwood products of the most
handsome design and finish, and these peo-
pie have to deal with the outside world
and are shipping their products into every
section of the Union. They are shipping
from the High Point factories thirty to
forty car loads OF their products every
twenty-four hours and they are naturally
roadmnded. enterprising and liberal in
their views, Hundreds of our folks are
going to see that great worlds display
that is to be spread out in the North
western metropolis next year, and they de-
sire to see the best commonwealth in the
Union and the best people in the world
with its varied resources and magnificent
products properly installed among the
/ splendor of that great worlds show. These
High Point folks appreciate the Governor
efforts and they show their appreciation
in the substantial manner indicated.
Let the other cities and towns in The
State do likewise, and when we 90 e
the st. Louis Exposition we will not have
to bow our head In shame because thu
Legislature had so much else to do tina
it could not look after this matter az far,
reaching Importance.
MIR. Arendell stated while in High Poin
that judging from the willingness of TIN
industrial and patriotic forces of tn
State to cooperate in the movemen
which had been indicated in the canvas
so lar made there was but httl
doubt that the State exhibit at 81
r Louis would be one of the features Of tn
occasion.
