Goldsboro, n c., July 21.-Goldsboro

cal fraternity of the town. DR.. Robert
Miller. who has for sine time filled d
position in the Atlantic Coast Line hos,

the superintendent of the Eastern Hos
pital.
In a farming section, such as which
GOldsboro is the center of, the subject
of crops is usually one of great inter-
est in times, but in such years
as this, when the crops are better than
they have been for a decade, there is
very little outside Of politics but the
the crops to talk about. People who
are in a position to know what they ara
talking about say that the cotton crop
t1y year will be the largest yer raised
in Wayne county. Not My is the cot
ton crop the largest, but all other crops
are in fine condition and with good sea
sons from this time on until the har-
vest the farmer will be the most indie

ton does not sell for more than fifteen
cents a pound.
The usual time for a municipal cleo

LOUbet Had the Best OF 1t.

While the king Of Italy was show
ing President Loubet e Rome re-
Gently the two made it q point to be
extremely democratic, but the result
was not invariably all that could have
been desired, says the Pittsburg Dis
patch. For instance. while driving
in the Corso, or when the king and
president stopped to see any of the
sights of the Eternal City, the popu-
lation came very near them, so that
on occasions not only what the royal
party was saying was overheard, but
vice versa.
At the Roman forum, where the
king and president went to see the
excavations, the royal party was dis
turbed by an Italian and Frenchman
arguing with such animation that they
EVIDENTLY forgot in whose presence
overheard, such as:
Il tell you h king Isl"
mo, what nonsense! The president
is quite three inches taller"
mo, no; watch and o will see
that it is his tall hat which makes the
difference!"
why, the king Is a pigmy. and"
But at this point somebody coughed
and the men were forcibly reminded
where they were. The king, however,
feeling for the embarrassment OF those
present; as the words were loud, said
with a smile to N. Loubet:
II think that our countryman IS
right and hat you have a little the
best of it."
NJ. Loubet smiled and said: 1T Is
surprising what an importance is at
tached to inches In this world"

Yours very truly,
A Hint to Parents.

Complaints concerning the bad boys
Of Richmond continue to come in, but
bad boys are not confined to Richmond.
Similar complaints have been lodged in
the newspapers Of other cities, and the
Chicago Tribune mas recently said a
word in behalf of those who object 10
the presence of boys in flats, in behal
Of property owners who object to rent
ing their houses to families with chit
dren. The Chicago paper refers to the
badly raised boy rs the american
plague" and declares that there is a
universal protest against the "disre-
spectful, disobedient, unmannerly brat,
who is treated by his parents as if he
were an independent householder, and
who treats the rest of the world as if
he were a combination of absolute mon
afchy, prerogatived to despOtism n
an irresponsible maniac privileged to
caprice" The remedy" adds our con-
temporary, lis in the hands Of the par
erts. No one cares o many children
he brings into the world. Everyone
cares how he brings those children up
in the world. Let him allow them the
merry making, which is the right of
childhood, burt let him deny them the
outlawry which is the bane of flathood.
Then he will find landlords who will
not want to ook over his stock of birth
certificates"
The old rule was that children should
be seen and not heard. 1t was a harsh
rule. but it was better than the moi-
ern rule. which exalts children above
their elders. If the old rule was unjust
20 the child, the modern rule is more
so. If children are brought up to be
rude and pert, and inconsiderate of the
feelings and tights of others, how can it
be expected that they will be polite and
genteel and considerable when they are
grown? If parents bring up their chii-
dren in such a way as to make them
a nuisance, they cannot expect other
wise than that a demand will spring up
that the nuisance be abated.-Times-

His Letter Read at Tammany Fourth

New York, July 4-'wholesome
American sentiment which demands
fairness and equality in sharing the
blessings Of our popular government"
was urged in a letter from former Pres
ident Grover Cleveland which was read
at h annual fourth OF July celebration

letter was as follows:
princeton. n. J., June IS. 1904.
Dear Sir: I regret that my depart
ure today for my summer vacation, and
plans I have made for its enjoyment,
make il impossible for me to join the
Tammany Society in its celebration of
the coming anniversary OF American
Independence. It seems to me that
present social and political conditions
warn all patriotic Americans that there
timents and disposition in which the
Declaration of Independence had it's
origin, which made it the foundation
Of a great nation and in which is found
the promises OF its perpetuity.
The intent OF that instrument was
not only TO declare the equality of man,
but to decree its maintenance and the
NV
only our peoples freedom from a gov
which lacked their consent but
also their lasting freedom in political
thought and action.
Nc one can be so blind as not to see
that in these days of grasping and con-
Stunning badness in the pursuit OF
wealth, with its consequent indifference
TO political duty, there is danger that
our social and industrial equality will
be destroyed and our political indie
pendence made the sport Of dema-
gogues
The celebration of Independence Day
should above all things be directed to-
wards a resistance to those tendencies
and to the promotion of a wholesome
American sentiment which demands
fairness and equality in sharing the
blessings of our popular government.
and unfettered independence and eff
fectiveness in the exercises Of political
rights.
Nor should it be forgotten that the
fathers Of the republic delivered the
results of their work u~nreservedly to
the care and management Of all the
people. Nothing can therefore be more
startling or can indicate a greater re-
lance by designing hypocracy upon
popular democracy than impudent as

Probably the most e~ignticaut feature
Iof the financial situation in this country
lat the present time Is the increased
demand for bonds OF recognized char
lacter. both in Wall street and In other
american financial centerx II will be
trecailed that during that rather re-
Imarkable period of financial depression
(which reached its most acute stage last
september, the bond market was almost
las weak as the stock market. The dis
iastrous awakening from the wild era
tof promotion and speculation OF the
two years preceding had sickened the
investigating public OF oud almost as
much as OF stocks. People who had
lbeen caught in industrial bubbles Of
the steel" copper" and 'interna-
sional mercantile marine" type had
been forced to sell what could be sold
lat even a considerable concession in
lprice in order to make good losses in
llow-grade stocks which could not De
lsold at any price Last summer it was
frequently reported from Wall street
that even bonds Of the best class could
lcidedly lower than those generally
lquoted on the stock exchange.
Wall street is probably supposed TO
lact as a gauge of the nations prosper
lity. Last year the New York Stock
Exchange went a little ahead of the
lgame, and started a period of depres-
sion on its own account. Today Wall
street is very much more optimistic
than it was twelve months g In the
slight let-up in the prosperity which
lis in evidence in some parts of the
country today is seen a natural result
of Wall streets period OF panic and re-
morse of about a year ago. On account
lof the difficulty which. many railroads
Experienced in floating new loans dur

ideal Of work in the way Of new con-
lstruction and repair which would now
lbe under way on railroads all over the
UNITED States was either postponed OF

was a let-up in the demand for iron and
Isteel. which in III was followed, In
lsome parts of the country, by a slight
Fraction in other lines Of business from

Wall street seems to have recovered

lsess at any one time. Judging from the

belief that the recent period Of finan-

of the tunnel. distinctly heard for the
first time the faint sounds of the
blasting and drilling in the southern

breaking if the difficulty now en-
countered should prove to be insur-
mountable.
It will take at least three months
more to pierce the remaining 200
yards of the tunnel under the present
conditions, but it is feared that in the
middle Of the mountain, which has
nearly been reached there exists d
molten mass, signs of which are evi-
dent. The obstacle may, perhaps,
prove insurmountable, as the temper
ature will be doubled, making it i'm
possible for human beings to work.

mastered nothing definite can be FORE
told. 4 Swiss expert who recently
