DANCED WITH A PRINCE
DIES A MATCH PED
DLER.
ROwena Peyton, Former Belle
of Famous Virginia Family

Dying in SqualOr.
Atlanta, Ga, January TN: :ss
Rowena Peyton, who danced with
Prince of Wales now King Edward
VII, at the historic ball, Civ in
his honor when he visited New
York, half a century ago, is dying,
after spending the last years of her
life as match peddler In the streets
of Atlanta. She Is a defendant of
the Peytons of Virginls, and re-
lative of John Randolph Of Roanoke.
Fortune was not kind to the Pey-
tons. They lost their property and
Rowena was left penniless. She came
to Atlanta without ostentation and
met her fate with smile, no word
of complaint ever passing her lips.
She purchased a little stock of
matches and started out, her sweet
voice for the first time taking up the
cry 80 familiar to the ears of Allan
ia; "Matches, Matches; who'll buy.'
The belle of departed day and
generation had become the odd char
acter of q city's streets, the "old
match woman"
Two weeks ago she was stricken
with mortal illness. In looking
through her effects newspaper clip
pings and letters were found which
told the story of her life.

PURIFICATION OF POLL
TICS.

Governor Jeiks has consented to
become a part of the national move
ment having for its object the publi-
city of campaign contributions and
expenditures. The organization OF
which he has thus become MEM
Der is to meet in Washington on
January II for the purpose of pro-
noting publicity that would put
an end to corporate and other dis
graceful contributions to campaign
funds. Perry Belmont Of New York
is leading tnat movement.
a BalmonL publicity bill has al
ready been presented to the New
York legislature by Senator. Brack-
EFT, republican, of Saratoga. This
bill, if it become law, will compel
the publication of contributions to
and expenditures by campaign COM
mitlees, and it will prohibit all cor
porations for contributing TO and ex-
penditures by complain committees,
and il Will prohibit all corportions
contributing to campaign comnittees,
organizations or candidates. Senator
Bracket thinks contribution by a
corporation should be made agroand
Tor the revocation of its chatter.
The Bracket bill also provides
that any justice of the court of origi-
ual jurisctlon ON the petition of the
attorney general, a district attorney,
any candidate or any ten electors,
must hold an inquest TO inquire into
alleged violations or failure to COM
ply with IT'S provisions. It provides
a fine Or imprisonment, or both. for
hose adjudged guilty of aiding in
v. Violations of its provisions.
Pubic sentiment in New Yolk
ruas strongly in favor of the publ
city bill, and the Belmont bill is re.
garded as being both practical and
uon. partisan. Its passage is antici-
pated. In any previous year itwouid
have been stealthily squeiched, but
publicsentiment is in condition that
forbids pigeonholing this year.
N "A similar bill will no doubt be
prepared by the Belmont national
to be laid before Con.
gress, and other bills will be laid be-
fore the legislatures of the various
states as fast as they assemble. All
will be based on publicity, which is
correctly regarded as an ade quate

GRAT GALA WEEK.
Merchants Association Deter
mine Upon a Special Trade
Week For Early Spring.

Week For Early Spring.
The Goldsboro Merchants Associa-
ton is live institution in our midst
and it is getting right down to busi-
ness with a spirit that means great
things for Goldsboro's trade in plac-
ing our city's advantages as trade
centre before the people at large
through practical experience.
At the Associations meeting this
week it was decided to hold Trade
Week here in April, opening on
Monday April and ending on
April ii, inclusive, on which occa-
sion the merchants will establish
special sales in all lines of saleable
goods that will be unprecedented in
our city's history. And in addition
to the attractlveness of these sales
the Association proposes to provide
a series of attractions that will be
both entertaining and instructive, as
a side line for those who may desire
to avail themselves of such attrac-
tions upon this occasion. To this
end an engagement has been effect
ed with the Pierce Amusement
for this Trade Week,
April 914, and the fact that this
of itself bears the reputa-
tion of being the most attractive in
the high character of its amusements
and the most reputable on the road,
besides being presented and super
vised by the Merchants Associa-
ton of Goldsboro, should carry the
assurance-as it will-to the public
generally that this Trade Week in
Goldsboro is going to be gala oc-
cassion of the highest possible meri
and one that all can patronize and
enjoy without the slightest misgiv-
ing of single marring feature or
incident.

PROSPERITY AHEAD.
COncensus of Opinion That it is
to be Unprecedented: Colds
bOrO Right in the Midst of
NO. 7s

Not even the pessimists are ready
to predict any reversal in production,
transportation or trade in the first
half of the current year. All concede
that its first six months will be
highly prosperous, emulating the
best months of 1906.
And Goldsboro is right in the
midst of the procession-in fact, we
occupy the center of the stage, and
can improve the situation wonder-
fully if we be alert to lay hold of the
passing opportunities and make
them subservent to the irresistible
strength of united purpose and in
telligent effort for the accomplish
ment of Greater Goldsboro.
The activity of the second half of
the year can not be foretOld or
foreseen, because it will be governed
by the crop prospects that will be-
gin to become manifest by the first
day of July. At that time the output
of the wheat crop will become
and shrewd observers will
have an opinion as to The corn and
cotton crops of the Year.
Assuming, however, that its aggre-
gate of farm products will equal
those of the present year no prophet
is needed to foretell the maintenance
Of prosperity to its very close. This
would follow as matter beyond
doubt or question.
In the meanwhile, railroad cons
struciOn will go on at an almost
unprecedented rate, and 80 will the
industries, notably tnose OF iron and
steel. The railroads Will be crowded
with traffic, the banks with custom-
ers, and the factories will be unable
to fill orders.
Ifspeculation at home can be kep9
within bounds, and no great disaster
occurs in Russia, the chances largely
are that Prosperity with big z
will stay with us to the last days OF
the year.
Let us all get together and pull
together tor Greater uoIdsboro.
