Two Interesting Questions Causing Dis
cussion-They are Prohibition AMI
Union Depot.
Especial to The Messenger.)

Goldsboro. N. c., October 21.--It
would be a rather difficult question TO
decide which Is interesting GOldsporo
people the most just rOw-a union pas
senger depot or prohibition. If a vote
should be taken on the passenger depot
question. as will be done On the saloon
question. it would be found that the
advocates Of the depot would put their
opponents out Of business at once.
There is to be DC vote on the DEPOT
question, but there are petitions that
are being circulated for names within
will tell the way public sentiment
stands. The petition business was
started by the few people who oppose
the depot and soon a counter petition
was circulated by those who wan to
see GOldsboro get the passenger ac-
commodation to which it is entitled
When the petitions are full they will
be sent to the several railroads center
ing here and then the authorities will
probably take the matter under con-
sideration. If they have not already
done so.
The election On the question of open
saloons is engaging considerable atten-
ton and causing right much discussion
between the parties most interested.
The first speech made against open sa-
looms was delivt red in the First Pap
fist church last Sunday night by Rev.
J. w. Bailey, editor of The Biblical
Recorder. He made d splendid address
and aroused considerable enthusiasm
The next address on the question will
be delivered tomorrow afternoon in st.
Paul's church by Mr.. F. A. Daniels
He is an attractive speaker and will
no doubt draw a large crowd to hear
him. The saloon advocates have not
arranged for any speech making SO
far. They seem to be c%ontented with
the fact that they had a majority CT
the registered voters to sign the peri
ton for an election. There were some
marked off, but if the people vote as
they signed, the open saloon will win.

The Washington Post of Friday con-
tains an editorial, under the above
heading, which gives a synopsis Of the
speeches made by Mr.. Roosevelt in
Richmond and Raleigh. In speaking OF
his u%tterances ON the railway rate
question The Post says:
The railway q aid those
who agree with them-whether on
doctrinal grounds as to the power of
congress. or on grounds of public, pol
icy-are now fully appraised of what
the president will recommend at the
coming session of congress-: and the
rates known that they will have with
them the presidents powerful sup
port. His plan will be strong in the
east. less so in the west. and it will
erhaD be for the south to finally
decide it. His long contemplated visit
to the south is very we'll timed.
No Dresident-nOt even Jackson
when he defled the power of the ma
tional bank-has ever before initiated
a struggle with powers so strong as
those which President Roosevelt now
to a trial of strength before
congress n at the ba of public Opin-
iOn. The fountains of the great deep
of senatorial debate will be opened
when the measure comes before that
body for consideration. and it may be
that the flood will continue much
longer than forty days and forty
nights.
If the presidents success in this
matter depends on the south we think
he may already count ON victory. The
south was with him on this question
be all the more his supporter in this
fight.
