A PRACTICAL QUESTION.


For the first ten months of the cur-
rent fiscal year the export of manu-
featured goods, according to reports
recently sent out from Washington,
exceeded in value the exports for
the corresponding period last fiscal
year by nineteen million dollars.
This means that the manufactur-
ers of the United States are able at
the present abnormal cost of manu-
facture to sell their products in for
eign markets in competition. with
foreign manufacturers.
Why, then, is it necessary for the
protection of American manufactur
Ers against foreign competition at
home for the government to levy a
high tariff tax on foreign imports?
The American citizens reads and
thinks for himself, and he is asking
himself this Interes ing question. 1t
is a question that will be asked time
and again during the present cam
paign, provided only the Democrats
take an honest stand for tariff re-
torn, and it is a question that the
Republicans must face and answer to
the satisfaction of the vote rs, or the
Republicans will be turned out OF
office and Democrats put in. It is a
glorious opportunity for the national
Democracy.

IMPORTANT PROPOSITION.
Mr.. Law Wants to Lease Electric
Light Plant, and Asks For
Franchise For Gas Plant.

Mr.. A. R.. Law, General Manager
of the Consolidated Railway & Light
Company, of Philadelphia, was in
the city yesterday and to-day. Mr..
Law is pleased with G%olGsboro and
has made a proposition to the COM
mittee appointed by the Board of
Aldermen, for the lease of the cleo
trio light plant owned by the city,
and for a franchise for a gas plant
for furnishing gas for lighting, heat
ing and power. This committee,
composed of the Board of Public
Works and Finance Committee of
The Board of Aldermen, will meet
Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock.
This is an exceedingly important
matter for Goldsboro Our citizens
are anxious for the establishment of
a gas plant and for the lease of the
electric light plant, provided, of
course that reasonable terms can be
made by the city.
A gas plant for Goldsboro would
really mean a great deal. In the first
place the establishment of such a
plant would cause the investment of
considerable capital, the operation of
the plant would give employment to
a number of people, and the very
fact of having such a plant for fur
nishing light, power and heat would
be another strong inducement for
people to settle in Goldsboro.
We know that the Board of Alder
men, having as they do the best in
terests of the city at heart, will give
most careful consideration to this
proposition.

Lots Of Votes Coming In
Big Gains Made By the Leaders In The Popular
Lady Employe Contest During the Last Seqen DAYS.

With the exception of Miss Daisy
Sullivan OF Florence, whose friends,
for some reason. have not sent in any
votes during the past week. all OF the
candidates in THr RECORDS prize con-
test have made = big gain since our
last issue a total OF consid erably over
IL 600 votes having been sent in during
that period.
The biggest actual gain has been
made by Miss Yard, although her in
crease over Miss Moss may be represent
ed by the fingers on one hand, and has
been in some respects less notable than
the gain made by Miss Linkins, who
has added nearly 5000 votes to her list
during the week. There has been no
change in the relative standing of the
candidates since the last issue of the
REcoRp, although through lnadverten-
cy to credit Miss Finley with some
thing like 1900 votes last week il ap-
pears that her gain has proportionate-
ly greater than that OF her competitors.
The difference in the standing OF the
five young ladies is so small that It
may easily be shifted by little extra
endeavor on the part of the friends of
either OF them, and 1t would be brave
result of the balloting for the next
seven days.

Damage Suits Are Filed.

Three damage suits were filed in
the United States circuit court on
Monday aggregating total of $4,000.
s. NJ. Henderson asks for $4,000
damages from the Cudahy Packing
company at Kansas City for the death
OF his daughter, who received injuries
while in the employ of the company
which caused her death. Her hair
was caught in the machine at which
she was working and her scalp was
torn from her head. W. B. Reaburn
wants $40. 900 from the Metropolitan
Street Car company for injuries re-
eeived on a car on which he was en-
pIoyed as motorman. The car left the
track while crossing a trestle. Carl
tanker sued the same concern for
$4,000. While riding on a crowded
car last June he claims that he was
forced to keep his arm outside of a
window. His hand struck against a
pole and was severely mutilated.

Talking 1t Over.

Washington, Nov. 29.-The assistant
attorney general for the interior de-

a conference here today with the at
torney generals of Colorado and Kan
sas in connection with the suit of Kan
sas pending in the United States SUI
preme court against Colorado involv-
ing the question of riparian rights to
the waters of the Arkansas river. The
United States government has inter-
vened in the suit and the conference
is for the purpose of coming to a
proper understanding of the extent of
the governments land interests along
that water shed, thereby removing
from the controversy between the two
states this feature of the case.

THEY ARE WORRIED.
Colorado Capitalists Trying to Stir
Up Sentiment in Kansas.

It is being freely talked that private
capital is being employed to defeat
Kansas in the Kansas-Colorado litiga-
ton over the water rights of the Ar
kansas river.
As the story goes wealthy private
Colorado corporations, backed by mill
lions and millions of capital. are lined
up in an effort to prevent justice for
Kansas A victory for Kansas will af-
feet the Colorado Fuel and Iron COM
pany, the big private irrigation COM
panieS which are amassing fortunes
from water rents from those who use
water from the bitches supplied from
the Arkansas river, and the beet sugar
magnates and others.
The legislature of Colorado appro-
priated sum of $4,000 to be used in
defending the case. The legislature of
Kansas appropriated the sum of
$4,000 The money in both states is
now practically exhausted, and the
legislatures in each state will be asked
TOR additional appropriations to con-
fanue the litigation this winter.
1t has been charged that interests
in Colorado which will be most seri-
ously affected by an adverse decision
are not sparing any expense in their
ment to the case among those most
vitality interested in the matter in
Kansas
z<Agents of the Colorado interests
have been at work in western Kansas
in an effort to pacify those who are
most actively engaged in fighting for
the rights of Kansas
These agents have tried to create
the impression among the people of
western Kansas that the litigation
could not result beneficially to them.
That it is a move upon the part of the
people farther down the Arkansas
river to appropriate the water and that
the people of western Kansas could
not benefit from a decision for Kansas
In the case.
It is now quite generally believed
that the wealthy Colorado corpora
tons are making a quiet campaign
among the members of the Kansas
legislature in an effort to shut off any
further state aid in the case, and to
prevent any legislation favorable to
the prosecution of the case.
All the evidence gathered so far has
been favorable TO the contention of
the state of Kansas in the contro-
versy, and the Colorado people are be-
coming alarmed for the safety of the
contention of existing easy conditions
The United States government has
taken cogniZance of the importance of
the questions involved and further in
vesttgations will have the co-opera-
ton of the government officials.
