G~oldsboro, N. c., July 1.-One of
the most extensively p~atronized and
delightful performances by home tai
lent took place in the Messenger opera
house last night. when Echoes From
Operas" was rendered for the benefit
Iof n organ fund Of the Episcopal
Ichurch. The cast of characters was
made up from one hundred and fifty
lof our most talented young ladies and
gentlemen The players received fire.
quent and hearty applause from the
barge and fashionable audience pres
Ient. Some of those who deserve spe-
Icial mention are Mrs. DR.. Williams
ISpicer, Mrs. Rudolph Skalowski, of
ESpartanburg. S. c.: Miss Bessie Ed
wards. Mrs. Eli Epstein and Messrs.
Irwin Porter, Edwin Lee, Doyle Priv
lett and A. s. Johnson. Each and
everyone acquitted themselves so as
Ito reflect credit upon themselves and
upon their instructor, Mr.. ]. s. At
IkinSon The play was n great success
Eand simply goes to show what Colds
Iboro talent can do when an effort is
made to show IT,.
The condition of crops was never
better at this time of year in Wayne
county than now. The small as we'll
las the large farmer is very much elat-
led at the prospects for one OF the
largest harvests for years. The sea-
sons have been almost perfect, and
with anything like good weather from
this time on, the farmer will be indie
pendent next fall, provided the price
lof his products is what it should be.
There is very little tobacco planted in
the county, but all lands suited for
cotton nave been cultivated with the
Ifieecy staple. The low price of tobac-
co last fall, together with the high
Iprice of cotton, has induced the far
mer to neglect tobacco and devote his
land and energies to the cultivation of
cotton.
The absence of a passenger depot in
IG~oldsboro is one of the most conspic-
luous things noticed by the travelling
public. There is nc town in the state
THAT has more convenient schedules
Tor better railroad facilities, and the
lonly thing lacking to make the service
complete is a passenger depot. The
present i'll arrangement, whereby pas
lsengers ave to alight from trains in
the middle of the street, on railroad
tracks with trains moving in opposite
directions, is going to result in the
death of some unsuspecting traveller,
land then the railroads will have &C
lpay out enough money to build a de-
lpot. After some one gets killed, then
the railroads will build the depot, but
lit will be too late to save that limo
Icent persons life. The cost of a pas
lsenger depot to the three railroads
fcentering here would fall very lightly
lon each one. There is not a day tina
Ipasses that there are not hairbreadtf
escapes from a horrible death.

WORKING FOR PARKER.
New York Leaders Perfecting Plans
for Destruction of Tammany's OPP
position

Utica. N. Y, July 1.-Former Senator
David B. Hill, former Lieutenant Gov
.ernor William F. Sheehan, Jacob A.
Garter, Eliot Danforth and other adj
to Chief Judge A. B. Parker,
while enroute to the Democratic ma
.tional convention, are perfecting plans
for a complete destruction of Tamma-
opposition to their candidate.
Senator Hill protested to believe to-
night that Judge Parker would be
Nominated on the second ballot if not
|on the first, and that the nomination.
would be effected on Friday. 1t vas
that Mr.. Sheehan carries in his
pocket foul proxies Of national COM
mitteemen, who cannot be present at
1.-THE meeting scheduled early in the
week, and that he expects to use them
in perfecting the temporary ~organiZa-
tion in favor of Judge Parker This
will be a great advantage gained, for
the seating temporarily of delegates
from contesting states favorable to
Judge Parker will give them the nam
ling of members of committee on Gre
ldentials who will make h permanent
vote controlling the delegation.
The death of the National COMMITTEE
man from Nevada, it was learned to-
day, also removed a vote against Judge
lParker's friends on temporary organi-
cation.

ker. is on the train going to the con-
lvention in hopes of seeing ner father

Did Not Mcet Expectations.

The Seaboard railroad did not meet
the expectations of Northampton peo-
pie in that it failed to give reduced
rates 10 the Greensboro convention
from points in this county and from
Weldon. A party of min applied to
the agent at Gumberry for tickets an
hour before train time. but were in
formed that none had been furnished
the Gumberry agent. The agent was
then requested to telegraph to Weldon
and have the nine tickets made out
by the arrival of the train at that
point. At Garysburg several more
delegates got board without tickets
expecting TO get them at Weldon. but
none could he had at Weldon, so the
party, numbering about twenty. left
the Seaboard and went by the Coast
Line in order to get the benefit OF the
reduced rate. but were greatly incon-
venienced on the return trip by not
making connections at Weldon with
the Seaboard train. We hope the Sea-
board people will treat Us better II
time. They advertised to give reduced
rate.-Roanoke Chowan Times.

PROJECTED by Rain.

When Senator Dryden, of New Jer-
sey wasa young mar he experimented
for a time with fire insurance before
embarking permanently in life fnsur-
ance.
