THE GLASS OF TINE.

Some Thoughts and Suggestions
Written Out and Linked To-
gether For the Encourage
ment Of Those Who Have
Made New Year
Resolutions.
Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1904-01-07

smOte on the chords with might;
Smote the chord of Self, that, tremb-
ling, past'd in music out OF sight.
Beloved, if you have made resolu-
tions for the New Year, let your pur-
pose be to abide by them to-day
looking not to Tomorrow; but let it be
to-day, to-day, to-day, as the days
come and 90. And with each day
your strength will grow, self Will
disappear and the joy of living be-
come more and more unalioyed.
For, as suggested in the little poem
that heads this philippe, golden mo-
ments, of joy forever flow from the
fragile glass of time held in loves
glowing hands of warmth and faith.
Broken may be the glass at the
sounding OF any hour, but whilst it
CLEANS in the red glow of life it shall
give forth the treasure of joys against
which foods of unrest may beat
vainly, and the Ice-rain of grief be
powerless to reach and chill and Kill.
In joy the glass is swelling high
and ever higher, wiidand ever wilder,
cleaning and flashing and quIverlng
a great lovebeam of the human
heart, swung as yielding incense be-
fore the altar of human faIin and
constancy and alteration, the most
blessed of all Of hunlanity's offerings
TO its faithful here upon the earth.
Fair faith, with angel hands, is
uplifting, uphOlding and swinging
the frall vessel Of this worlds sweet
est stores, and mankind looks and
longs for the happiness buliued i'll
dreams asleep aud prayers awane
through the long wa.;ing IL the ss.:.>-
tuary Of young nope grown old II
hoping.
So the moments run themselves in
] golden sands whilst we live rightly
and be glad that the legiors OF doubt
and discord and unrest go sweeping
unheeded by to join all the children
| of earth who Will not so live, anu
who Will not seek joy along the quiet
ways where blow the blossoms Of
devotion and faithfulness, the uu-
searchable and unpul chasable riches
| of hearts that are true. And 50 glide
the glad moments into giadder hours,
gladdest days, and we care not how
swiftly we speed Or whi:her bound,
save that 1t be ours TO reach some
happy valley in the land of the leal.
And for every n who is true there
is a happy valley somewhere, some
time to be reached, where the chill
dren Of laughter and happiness meet
and kiss each other, and wandering
amongst flowers lair wonder all day
long that love and life and the world
are so s~uperlatively beautiful.
It is not for us to ask what shall
be brought by Tomorrow, for to-
morrow may not come. 1t is to-day,
forever to-day, with all hearts that
are young and all that are true.
Spirits of goodness and truth and
love were not created to grow old.
and cannot age through days of grief.
In the warp of time, in the loom of
sorrow, are wrinkles woven, but
neither time nor sadness may shrink
the heart that is faithful.
And the spirit Of youth shall not
pass from any man or any woman
youthfu!ness; who would hesr
though all the ways of life the whit.

Love took up the glass of Time, and
turn'd it in his glowing hands;

"My mother was troubled with

AN APPEAL TO HISTORY.

That was a happy comparison made
by Col. Watterson in his speech at the
EDITORS dinner between the Democra-
tic oligarcy of Pierce's day and Buch-
anan's day and the Republican. oil
garch under Roosevelt.
After forty three years of but
twice broken dominion, said the elo-
quent Louisville journalist, ''this
party oligarchism is proceeding with
as high hand under Theodore
Roosevelt as after but little longer
dominion the Democratic party pro-
ceeded under Pierce and Buchanan,
and from the same cause.-the belief
that it has the world in a sling and
may do as it pleases. " Col. Waiter
sou has understated the case rather
than overstated it. The new Republi-
can oligarchy has powers which even
that arrogant Democratic oligrachy
would hardly have dared to grasp.
TO be sure, James Buchanan could
shake his finger under the nose of
Stephen A. Douglas and remind him
that no Senator who offered from an
Administration of his choice had ever
escaped being crushed, but he could
not drive Douglas into line He could
warn Douglas to remember the fate of
Rives and Tallmadge, but he could
elicit only the reminder that ''Gen.
jackson is dead.
To-day there is not Republican
Senator that would break with the
Administration. With the Speaker
and the Committee ON Rules dominat-
ing the House, with coterie of half
dozen members ruling the Senate,
and both these coteries of parliament
tary despots working hand in glove
with the President, a condition of
personal government has been reached
never before known to the history of
the United States.
Mr.. Roosevelt did not build up this
machine. But he has controlled it
more absolutely than any of his pre-
decessors in office ever dreamed OF do
ing. He is his party, his party is
the Government, the world is in a
sling, and they believe as Col. Wat
terson says, that they may do with it
what they please.

THE WAREHOUSE MOVEMENT

Richard H. Edmunds, editor of the
Manufacturer Record, is an earnest
advocate of bonded cotton warehouses,
as proposed by Judge Eugene William
of this city.
Mr. Edmunds points out that capi
tai invested in cotton manufacturing
alone amounts to about two billions of
dollars, which indicates the magnitude
of the cotton industry.
Last years cotton crop sold for
5000, coo, 900, or about double the total
gold output of all the mines of the
world, against $325, 600, coo as the
price of the record crop of 1898, or a
difference CT 1885, 600, 900 to the South
an amount almost equal to the en-
tire capital invested in all the cotton
mills of the United States.
Financially able argues Mr..
Edmunds, "as most of its planters are
now, for the first time, to hold their
cotton, instead of rushing it to market
as soon as picked, they need only the
establishment of suitable carrying
warehouses and adequate banking ia
N; I; t;oc +J,ro,,rbout tl,a Goutb IN ordar
to make it unnecessary to rush their
cotton to market. In this way they
could steady the market, and Instead
of selling the whole crop i'll two or
three months, they could sell as the
market demanded and carry the bal
ance ON warehouses receipts. This
would make impossible of success the
efforts always made by spectators to
break down prices during the summer
and hold them down until cotton is
order that the later advance in price
may inure to the foreign buyers and
speculators. "
The success of the cotton warehouse
movement seems now practically as
sured, it having the hearty endorse
ment of men who understand its inn
portance and on whose judgement the
definite action.
This movement means the cotton |
mill near the cotton field. 1t also |
means a reversal of Texas Democracy |
on the question of asset currency.

Are our multi -millionaires of to-day

Are our multi -millionaires of to-day
so much richer than the rich men of
old? Monte Cristo's fortune, which
was a standard of large means thirty
years ago, says writer in Harper's
Weekly, ''seems very small potatoes
compared with the fortunes of half a
hundred Americans that could easily
be named" but there is little doubt
that in very old times there were rich
er men than there are now. An au-
thority in a Jewish magazine, it
seems, has been looking into the ques.
tion, and has come to some interesting
conclusions. Joseph, for Pharaoh,
got his hands on pretty much all the
ready money there was in his day,
and buried three enormous treasures,
one of which was found by Korah,
whose fortune is according to
modern standards of value-at three
billion dollars. SolomOn's stable is
said to have represented sum the
modern equivalent Of which would be
three or four hundred millions, and
he spent to hundred and fifty millions
on his temple.

NUMBER 29
EDUCATE YOUR CHILDREN.

We wonder how many of the boys
who read this column realize the
value of all education III cold dollars
and cents, to say nothing of the many
other advantages. Statistics show
that the average salary of all educated
man is 81, 900 per year. He works on
ali average of forty years and receives
a total of $40, 600 Tire average wages
of an uneducated man is 81. 80 per day,
and he works 300 days in the year, so
in forty years he earns $4,000. The
educated man gets $40, 600 and the un-
educated $lS, 900 and the s22, 900 diff
ference is the true value of the educa-
tion. To acquire a good education
takes about twelve years of the early
life of a boy, and they are the hap
piest years of his life. In twelve
years tnefe are =, l60 school days and
these days bring to the boys who i'm
prove them, $22, 900, or a little more
than $40 per day for each day spent
in school No boys, for each day
you miss school just charge yourself
up with $40 lost. These are cold
facts gathered from statistics. -Dod-
son Times.
To which of the above classes oh,
fathers and mothers, are you going to
consign your sons, by an insufficient
school term or advantages your son
will be laborer at 81. 80 per day, but
give him full privileges as obtained
from an uptOdate full term school and
you place him in the $40 per day
class. Think seriously of these
things and agitate for mill special
tax for our school revenues.
