The A. & n. G. Lease.
Goldsboro Argus.

Goldsboro Argus.
A meeting of the stockholders of
the A. and N. G. r. r. Company Will
be held in New Bern on Thursday of
next week. September l, for the pur-
pose of discussing in common the
matter of a lease of their road, his
Excellency Governor Aycock, whose
province it is to effect a lease, desir-
ing an expression from the private
stockholders in open meeting, at
which the several propositions of lease
filed with him will be made public.
There has been much talk and dis
cusSion Gin newspapers and other
wise) upon this much mooted lease
question, and thereon the position of
the Argus has been positively defined
months ago. We favor a lease of the
road, comprehensively and securely
safeguarded, as already fully out
lined by us in our earliest discussions
of the question.
In the meantime, Mountebanks and
irresponsible adventurers like McBee,
Finch & Co., and railroad corpora
tons, some avoWedly and some in the
back ground, and combinations of in
dividuals. have been plying the Gov
ernor with propositions and reSortlng
to the courts in effort to get possess
sion of this splendid piece of State
rates of rental-or lease-below its
real value. But, honest and fearless
and patriotic public servant ana
sagacious Executive that he is. Gov
ernor Aycock has stood firm for the
peoples best interests and deliberated
with caution upon the situation tina:
confronts him, so that we believe,
he is thoroughly conversant with and
competent to pass upon the facts III

comes to effect lease of the road ii
will be to those men constituting the
latest combination of bidders, who
have more at heart in this affair than
the dollar gain and more at stake
than the success or failure OF the
mere running of the road.
In all his travels up and down
and around the world the vision OF
man has never rested upon a more
beautiful country nor has his feet ever
pressed a more fertile soil than that
of Eastern North Carolina. Its variety
OF productiveness is limitless, its re-
sources are inexhaustible, it's climate
is peerless it's possibilities are mar
vicious and enhancing to contemplate,
it's people are trustful of one another
patriotic, and of progressive spirit
Give it the opportunity of develop

fortuitous lease of the A. and N. &

leader Mr.. Davis had honorabiy
wrought his own way to high station,
and had been all his life IN active af-
fairs as a farmer. railroad man,
lumberman, an operator in coal and
a banker. He came to the Senate with
the kind of practical knowledge
which schooled him to care and use
fulness as a legislator. He steadily
grew in the esteem and confidence of
both sides of the Senate. and when
his party obtained the majority he
was intrusted with the responsible
duty Of the Craftsmanship OF the Com

held the place. While firmly adhering
to his party, he was at all times cour-
teous, and to the business Of the

never obtruded partisan views.

So far North Carolina furnishes
three campaign speakers for Roose-
welt: John Dancy and Fl. b. Cheat
ham, negroes, who go west to talk up
Teddy and social equality and Marian
Butler, the eX-silverite Senator, who
comes to North Carolina to talk up
only the Lord knows what.
Possibly, he hopes, as he talks
Teddy and Booker II. to white folks in
North Carolina to get a rotten egging
so that he may be able to make high
grade campaign expenses.

TREAT FILIPINOS AS YOU TREAT
CUBANS.

Immediately upon the publication
of Judge Parker's speech of accept
ance, the Republicans criticized his
use of the words government
used in connection with the future of
the Philippine Islands as meaning
something less than independence.
Judge Parker's attention having been
called to that criticism by Mr.. John G..
Milburn, who, after reciting the criti-
cism, said: 81 venture to ask you if
am not right in assuming that, self
government as you used the phrase
is identical with independence, politi-
cal and territorial"
Answering that letter, Judge Par
ker says:
Rosemount, Esopus, n. Y, Aug. %.
My Dear Milburn: You are entirely
right in assuming that as | employed
the phrase f-government" it was
intended to be identical with indie
pendence, political and territorial
After noting the criticism referred to
by you, / am still unable to under
stand how it can be said that "a peo-
pie enjoy Self-goVernment, while
another nation may in any degree
whatever control their action. But to
take away all possible opportunity for
conjecture, it shall be made clear in
the letter of acceptance that / am in
hearty accord with that plank in the
Democratic platform which advocates
treating the Filpinos as we did the
Cubans; and L also favor making the
promise to them now to take such ac
ton as soon as it can prudently be
done.
Thanking you for your letter, and
with best wishes for you always, / am,
Very sincerely yours,
ALTON b. PARKER.

Bless YOUR soul. the Watts law is all
right. The good ladies all over the
country are rallying to its support. II
would be a dangerous thing for a man
to go out into the country and talk
about repeating the Watts law. Ihese
good women out in the country don't
want the still-houses. They don't
want their boys to ever see a still
house and the man or set of men who
seek to get votes by advocating still
houses will have no friends among
the good women who have happy

ndeIl Notes.

James Eggert received letter from a
friend in Kansas, last week, who for
warded money for house rent for a
month, and who is probably OH his way
to Hood River. Mr.. Eggert has been
trying to secure a house, but SO far has
failed. There is plentyof room for
tent, SO, come along. The fact is, tent,
ing here will beat housein some places
II there is anything in the signs OF the
times Hood River is destined to furnish
homes for many people during the next
two years.
A series of meetings conducted by
Rev. Dillinger Of the NJ. E. church at
Pine Grove is in progress. The Con-
gregational church at Pine Grove with
Rev. j. l.. Hershner, pastor, recently
organized starts out with about 20 mem
bers, most of whom we're formerly con-
nected with the church at Hood River,
They belong to the best class of people
at Pine Grove, enabling the pastor to
place the work on a good footing at the
beginning. 1t will not be long until a
church building will be erected there.
This is still another evidence OF the
prosperity OF our beautiful valley.
Freight teams are now daily passing
0dell with supplies for the Mount Hood
Lumber Co. with working headquarters
some distance above the Falls. The ex-
tremely, bad condition of the roads above
here necessitates small loads and more
OF them. The force OF men there will
soon reach 200.
Report has it. that @. R. Bone, assist
ed by other parties, will build saw
mill in Dukes valley soon, in order to
get flume lumber for the completion OF
the Bone ditch. This enterprise will
be welcomed, as anything that increases
the pay roll benefits the country.
The school entertainment given here
last Saturday night was the hit of the
season. The drill given by eight young
ladies was especially good and worthy Of
mention. In this drill two important
things were neutrality-suspicious. and
physical culture, both of which are es-
sential to the successful student.
William Ehrck is now shipping out
the remnant of his apple crop, and is
getting $l,75 box for them in Port
land. He has about 1876 boxes yet to
ship. Who says apple growing does not
pay in Hood River?
The latest and most unique adyer-
tisement for Hood River is that last week,
a street hawker in Seattle, was selling
Hood River oranges three for a nickel,
and fresh Hood River eggs at three
cents above the regular market price.
This demonstrates the fact that there is
something in name.
The warming up of politics has nc
effect on the weather. The weather
prophet has it now that we are doomed
to wait untilafter Easter for good wealth

him to quit it and RIGHT aWay.
