And go it is, when a man sees what
his neighbors are accomplishing, the

Another good thing about q fair is
that it brings together old friends
and acquaintances who but for such
gatherings would not be likely to
see one another for yea rs. 1t thus
fosters a social, kindly spirit and
brightens many lives that are all

There is no class Of people that Is
better entitled to a little relaxation

ed to much credit for the energy

the success that it was. }, ;.-.s

have committed burglary at that

broken into A. j. Esser's saloon at
Reading and touching the till for

MR.. GAME.

MI. Roosevelt is playing politics
again. His insistence upon the con-
frmation of Crum proceeds from
recognition of the importance of the
negro vote in New York and other
pivotal States. The President knows
he has nothing to hope for from the
South, SO feels he can disregard the
feelings and sensibilities of the peo-
pie of this section. He may succeed
in his endeavor to have Crum con-
frmed. Republican members Of the
as the Republican members of the
House. 1t is doubtful, however, if
the game will be as successful po-
litically as Mr.. Roosevelt lmagines.
1t is true there is a considerable ne
gro vote in States whose votes will
determine the election, bat there are
also a number OF white votes in the
States North Of Mason and DixOn's
line who have no sympathy with
negr0philism, and who resent the
Presidents rOUgh-5hod manner OF
riding owe the protests Of Southern
white men. A large number OF
Northern e have no sympathy
with South-baiting. They know
that this is not a benighted region.
They know that the Southern white
man has been upon the whole fail to
the negro. They know the tremend'
Gus problem confronting the people
of the South, and they respect them
for what has been achieved.
Men who have an insight into
Southern affairs will resent the Pres
ident's course, and thus he may lose
more than he will gain by forcing
Crum upon the people Of Charleston
Congress adjourned Thursday ant
refused to confirm Crum's appoint
ment. But the president immedi
ately re-appointed him, in the fac

THE Carnival IS COMING.
1T WILL BE A GRAND MILL
FAIRY AFFAIR.
The Advance Representative Has
Arrived in the City and Begun
Preparations for the Com
ing Event.

Mr.. Paul T.. montgomery, pro-
moter and press agent of the Jones
Carnival Company, arrived yester-
day from Norfolk and began al once
an advertising campaign in the in
terest of the Spring Military Carni-
val, which will be held in Goldsboro
from May 9th to 18th, both dates in
elusive.
This promises to be one of the
most enjoyable amusement enter
prises ever attempted by Goldsboro.
Realizing the merits of the Jones
Carnival Company, the militia OF
this city engaged them for this bene-
Mt and will leave no stone unturned
to make it a success from every
viewpoint.
Since the Jones Company played
in this vicinity there have been add
ed to it five more big attractions, all
of which are new and novel shows of
genuine merit. The company now
have fourteen midway Shows, a fer
ris wheel and two merry-go-rounds,
besides two big free attractions. OF
all the carnival companies touring
the country, none Of them, it is said,
can compare with the Jones Com
pany in point Of variety, cleanliness,
morality and amusement features.
There is absolutely nothing connect
ed with the company which cannot
be witnessed with propriety by any
one, no matter how closely the lines
are drawn against amusement enter
prises. No expense has been spared
by the management to get together
the best features making midways
their business, and the show which
will be held here under the us
pices of the military companies,
promises to be one of the big attrac-
tons of the year.
In connection with the carnival
the young men will hold a Queens
Contest, which promises to be one of
the most interesting features of the
event. The most popular young
lady Of Goldsboro will reignas queen
during carnival week and will have
showers Of attentions rained OIL her
from all sources. Voting places and
the handsome prize will be an
nOunced later.
A souvenir program of the Carni-
val will be COTTON out by MI. Mont
gomery, assisted by some of the
military company and it will be a
memento which will be worth keep
ing.
The Carnival will be held on the
Court House square, beginning Mon
day evening, May 9th, and lasting
until Saturday, May 18th. Don't
forget the dates.

A Wonderful Dam.

II. Rider Haggard writes to the Lon
don Mail that the great Nile dam at
Assouan is "a work of which the build
ers of the pyramids would have been
proud The massive granite wall
which forms the dam is over 1000
yards in length and crosses the Nile
from side to side. On the crest of it.
2G feet wide. runs a tramway. along
which the visitor seated on a rough
trolley, is propelled at speed by Arabs
Thence to the north he sees a great
extent of shining rocks. between which
the waters run in channels, and to the
south a vast lake that in some places
attains a depth of nearly 200 feet This
is the reservoir. and ali the weight of
il and of the Nile for the $50 miles or
so that is is held up is pressing against
the wall on which he stands. In this
wall are $50 sluices, worked by ma
chinery, which are sufficient to deal
with every conceivable contingency of
food. The dam and reservoir cost $15,-
900. 900. The flood Nile attains its
height at AssOuan about Sept. ,, when
the average maximum discharge is
SOC. 900, 900 tons per diem. ThencefOrth
il slows down until the following June,
when the average minimum discharge
is $4,000, 900 tons per diem. Now, the
food crop of corn in Upper Egypt.
which is mainly affected by this reser-
voir, is reaped about mid-December,
after which the one-crop land hitherto
lay dormant until the next food. Then
it is that the Assouan dam fulfills its
magnificent purpose. Thus. from June
10 July 10, when the river is natur
ally at its lowest, the hold-up water is
let out gradually through the sluices.
with the result that the normal flow at
that period is doubled.

The Trust Buster,

and labor was especially designated to
investigate the trusts, combines and
corporations, has resigned 10 take up
the labor of chairman of the Republic
an national committee without having
discovered one bad trust After his
arduous labors at trust hunting his
new occupation will feel like child's
play. and his appeals TO trust mag
mates for campaign funds should re-
ceive the greatest consideration and
response When congress some months
ago ordered Secretary CortclyOu to run
down the beef combine TO its lair il
was heralded by the Republican or
gans as the Inauguration of a new era
OF cheaper meat I'm the near future.
But the housewives of the United
States after months of patient waiting
and intense economy find to their dis
may that the beef combine has only n
few days ago raised the price of beef
instead of lowering it,
IL the late Senator Hanna was still
Mt the head of Republican affairs the
conclusion would at once be arrived at
that the beef combine had come
down" handsomely and in return was
TO have free rein TO plumber the beef
buyer. But with such keen trust bust
ers as President Roosevelt and CorteI-
you on the track of the octopus, who
would dare TO hint at such compro-
mise with iniquity?
Yet the uncomfortable fact remains
that the beef combine and the hun
dre,ls OF other combinations are com

secure from publicity or from any ac-
ton the administration may take As

fatality by which the Russians al
