THE Big CROPS.
Just Think OF it, and be joyful!

We had hardly quit talking about
the wonderful bumper crops of last
year, when a report is issued show
ing that the crops of this year in
many respects far excel them.
All the high-sounding %adjectives
and nearly all possible comparisons
have been exhausted in striving to
make the country comprehend the
immensely of its crops.
It is commonplace to say that the
farmer could pay the national debt
without making any very percepti-
bla hole in the proceeds from his
crops for a single year.
We know by heart that the agri-
cultural eXports-the surplus left
over after all our own needs are sup
plied-have amounted in sixteen
years to more than the value of all
the railroads in the country, and
that if the farmer keeps up the pres
ent rate of production two years
longer he will have produced in ten
years an amount of wealth equal to
half the entire national wealth pre-
viously produced in three centuries.
We know these things thoroughly
and that in neither this nor any
other country, from the time re-
cords were begun, had last years
bumper crops ever been paralleled.
They are p%aralleled now in the July

BRYAN IN BgCKIEGEAM.
Received By King Edward In PFIV8ta
Audience.
Audience.

London, July 26.-William JeD-
nings Bryan, who was introduced by
Ambassador Reid, was received N
private audience by King Edward
at Buckingham palace to-day. The
visit was paid at the kings special
request, his majesty having notified
Mr.. Reid that he desired to meet
Mr.. Bryan. The interview was quite
informal and was marked by the
pleasing cordially which the king is
accustomed to show Americans in
whom he is interested.
Only the king, Mr.. Reid and Mr..
Bryan were present. The converse
ton largely turned On the subject of
peace and the conference of the in
terparliamentary union, with the OBJ
ects of which the king showed him
self thoroughly in accord.
Subsequently the king received
some eighty members Of the inter-
parliamentary union in the throne
room, Congressman Richard Bart
hoIdt, Of Missouri; i. E. Burton, Of
Ohio, and lockwood Hoar, otMassa-
chusetts, representing the American
group. Mr.. Bryan accompanied his
three compatriots at this function,
which was somewhat in the nature
Of q leVee.
At the formal sitting Of the inter
parliamentary union, Mr.. Bryan
moved a vote Of thanks to King
Edward, Premier Campbell-Banner-
man, the government, the house Of
commons, the house of Lords, the
members of the British group Of the
union, and Lord Weardale for their
generous hospitality, constant at
tention and courtesies. 1t was en-
Enthusiastically adopted.

One of the most thoroughly en-
joyable and delightful social func-
tions of the happy vacation days was
the "Bridge" party given Thursday
afternoon by Mrs. George G. Souther-
land at her lovely home on James
street, to Miss Ella Tobias, of Char
lesion, S. c., who is a great favorite
in social circles here.
The spacious verenda was laid
with rugs, and the tables with their
dainty score cards, looked most in
wiling to the enthusiastic players of
the fascinating game. During the
course OF the game, delicious tea
punch was served by Misses Elsie
Dortch, Annie Lamb and Sophie
Jenkins. Mrs. Herman G. Smith
won the prize, a box Of bon bons,
which she presented to the guest OF
honor, Miss Tobias. At the close of

DEATH OF AN OLD CITIZEN.

br, Moses E~inSieIB, Who Loved
G0IdSbCgO and Our People, Pass
! eS Away In Cincinnati; Funeral
and InieFIDeDt TO Take Place
Here.
a telegram received in this city
yesterday evening by relatives here,
brings the sad news of the death of
an old Goldsboro citizen, MI. Moses
Einstein,77 years Of age, who, though
he had in recent years made his
home in Cincinnati, with his mar
ried children, was never absent from
Goldsboro in spirit, and was ever
deeply interested in all that pertain
ed to the town and the happiness Of
it's people. "Mosen Einstein loved
Goldsboro and her people and her
people loved him. He came here in
his young manhood-years ago
and made his home, and he cared
for no other-he knew no other
home, for this was the home of his
heart, the birthplace of bis children,
the field Of his business career. Here
he had achieved success as q mer-
chant, here he had faced adversely
and been overcome by misfortune,
but in it all and through it all he
maintained the confidence and love
Of our people, and this was more to
him than dollars and cents, and in
his declining years he cherished it
as rich legacy to beQueath to his
children and to bless his memory.
In all relations Of life MI. Elm
stein did his full duty as duty con-
fronted him: AS q citizen he was
public-spirited and generous; as a
Democrat he was uncompromising,
and liberal in his contributions for
party needs; as a business man he
was fair and just, and possessed the
confidence of all who traded with
him, as a friend he was cordial, hos
pitable and companionable, as a
husband he was a model; as a father
he made companions of his children,
and following in his footsteps they
will never know dishonor.
Mr.. Einstein came to Goldsboro
before the war and for years con-
Quoted a successful mercantile bust
ness, until his advancing years, his
infirmity of deafness, and reverses
that come with stringent times,
forced him to retire from business.
three sons and n daughter, Messrs.
Levi, Solomon and Simon and Miss
Sarah, all of whom with his beloved
wife survive him, and to these the
heartfelt sympathy of all u people
goes out with inexpressible tender
ness.
Two of Mr.. Einstein's sons,
Messrs. Levi and Sol, having mar
ried in Cincinnati and made their
home there, they prevailed upon
their parents and sister in recent
years to 60 out and live with them,
but, as we have said, Mr.. Einstein
ever lived back here in Goldsboro in
spirit, and, true to his love for the
place, it is here that he is to be bur
led, in compliance with his last re-
quest, and consequently his remains
will be brought here for interment,
and the funeral will be held from
the A. G. l.. train, upon it's arrival,
tomorrow afternoon at $40.
