this season. Editor Poe will leave here
in November for trip south. TO secure
some special matter for use in
southern number OF Walter A Pages
beautiful monthly magazine ''The
Worlds Work" Mr. Poe does not
know to what state he will go.
Your correspondent had chat with
Mr.. William Moncure, well known as
a builder OF railways in this state
and others, and is now arranging TO
build the Bladen and Northern railway
The builders will be the Indian Lake
Lumber Company which has secured
from fifty million to one hundred mii-
lion feet OF standing timber, nearly all
long-leaf and great deal Of Ii IN Vir-
ginia, in Bladen county. Mr.. Moncure
says it is the best body OF standing
timber he has yet seen in North Caro-
lima. Work on the road will very
probably begin in December. The part
now planned is 20 miles in length. TIE
| survey has not yet been made. He says
it may go forty Or fifty miles. II will
not be merely a lumber road but will
| be built On good style and will handle
| passenger and freight business All the
| main details have been arranged. the
charter obtained, and the necessary
money secured. Free labor will prob
| ably be employed.

The fight in regard to the union
passenger station at Goldsboro has
certainly been a curious one. Up to
about 1872 the station. which was
large shed and which had been built
a good many years before the war
stood in the middle of the street about
in front of where the hotel Kennon
now is. It was burned about 1872
and since then the depot has been
practically the street itself, to the very
great discomfort of the travelling
public, though their waiting rooms,
merely rented store buildings near by.
The railways were pulled and hauled
about the depot for a while. They
wanted to build it at the old place, but
LHeTG WAS d h1Ch. OO 1t CdllC oUOu1
that one faction wanted it built at the
old place, another further northward
several blocks and third at the head
of Walnut street, which is on the
west side of the town. II was at the
latter point that the Corporation
commission ordered it built. The
board of aldermen did not appeal but
five of the nine aldermen made a pro-
test against this location. Some citi-
Zens did appeal, and so the case came
before the supreme court, which has
now found against these citizens and
in favor of the corporation commission
and incidentally the railways also.
Heretofore the railways had sliced
Goldsboro in half. but now they will
come in on the side. It must be re-
membered that Goldsboro was very
small place when the Wilmington and
Weldon railway was built and cut no
figure as a town, the old town and
county seat having been Waynesboro
on the Neuse river, about a mile away,
The travelling public will certainly feel
unbounded delight that Goldsboro is
at last to have union station for the
discomforts have been many. The
new station will be quite a handsome
one and will be built Jointly by the At
| lantic Coast Line. Southern and At
lantic and North Carolina railways.
The corporation commission has full
| power to order the construction OF
such stations, to fix the site, and the
railways have all the power they want
toe ondemn land and change their
| route into such towns.

SOUTHERN'S MACHINISTS
Leaving Salisbury-Refuse to Arbi.
trate-New WoISmen Arriving.

No 33 from the narth, this morning
brought in two carloads of machinists
from New York They were heavily
guarded and were met here by T. A.
Haney, a detective of the Southern,
and were marched to the shops, where
they were registered 1t is not certain
what number Of men came, though it
is thought it ranges from 60 to 90.
They were an anxious lot, and when
there were few jeers from the un-
thinking of the machinists, they turn
ed their heads away. 1t is certain
there will be no attempt at violence.
It is said that the Southern has ple n
ty Of men and those who came today
will about half supply the vacancies.
Many Of the machinists here are
preparing to leave Salisbury and
Spencer, since the refusal of the stri-
kers to submit the issues to arbitra-
ton and the intention of the Southern
to employ new men.
The maehinists give as their reason
for not ar5itrating the argument that
they offered this course while they
were appealing for higher wages and
their committee was in Washington
Then, they s1lege, the road would not

Mammoth Lemon.

Th handsOmest fruit in the way of a
lemon ever seen in this Office was
given us Saturday by Mr. w. D. Bar
ringer. This fruit was grown by Mrs.
Barringer on a small tree which she
keeps in a small tub. The lemon
weighs one and one quarter pounds
and is a beauty. Nine lemons, all
near this size, nOae weighing less than
a pound, have been plucked from the
tree this season. Mr.. Barringer says
they make the finest kind of lemon
ade. The specimen given to the Ga
zette certainly is beauty.-Gastonia

lieutenants, has been adopted by Mr..

The democratic party is not afraid

How IN Tell Age Of Horses.

The popular idea that the age OF q
horse can always be told by looking at
his teeth, says a veterinary surgeon, Is
not entirely correct After the eighth
year the horse has no more new teeth,
70 that the tooth method Is useless for
telling the nge of b horse which Is more
than Syears old. AS soon as the set OF
teeth is complete, however, a wrinkle
begins to appear on the upper edge OF
the lower eyelid, and a new wrinkle ia
added each year, so that to get at the
age of a horse over 8 years old you
must figure the teeth plus the wrinkles

THE KITCHEN RANGE.
How TO EconHrriz= on the Use Of
Coai--6 aiding Fires.

How TO EconGuiz= on the Use 81
Contributing Fires.
One Of the most fruitful sources OF
household waste and extravaganza is
the coal bin, and tons Of fuel are used
where a single one would give the
same results. Open drafts and a range
full to the covers Of glowing Goals not
only burn q needless amount Of coal,
but burn out the range at the same
time. A shovelful Of coal or sufficient
to lightly cover the fire will accom-
plish as much as half scuttleful, ex.
cepting in the increase Of the coal
mans trade.
For O small range nut coal Is best;
for a large one, small egg coal Red
ash coal makes q hotter fire, with
fewer cinders, than the white ash, and
the latter burns more slowly. For
these reasons an equal mixture Of the
two is a wise economy. The ashes
taken from the fire should never be
throwp into the can until they are
sifted. The cinders thus obtained can
be used on the fire at times when the
greatest heat is not needed. But they
should always be added after the fresh
coal Is we'll aglow.
A third Of a cupful Of kerosene with
which to saturate the kindling and
coal before putting it in the range
will facilitate the housemaid's morn
ing work, whether OF not the fire has
been kept overnight. Kerosene should
never, however, be poured directly into
O. stove, either from the cup or can.
The best way is to lay the wood on
a shovel and cover it there with the
oil and then add e sprinkling to q
shoyelful Of coal. Many housekeepers
insure their kitchens against accident
from this cause by leaving part OF
cupful of oil for the servants use and
locking the rest in the storeroom.
A handful Of sugar will revive an
expiring fire as quickly as will kero-
sene, but happy the housewife Whose
maid is ignorant Of the fact This ac
counts in many cases for the rapid dis
appearance Of the kitchen sugar sup

With striped stockings thrust Wlthln,
Lie just beside my chair.
Ofyery homely fabric they,
A hole In each toe;
They might have cost, when they were ne"
Some fifty cents or 30.
And vet this little, worn out pair
Than Ali the lew eled sandals are

This mot,led leather, cracked with use,
Is satin IN my sight,
These little tarnished butto1s shine
With all diamonds light.

You shall not flnd me there
So rarely made, 80 richly wrought,
So glorious pair.
And why? Because they tell OF her,
Now sound asleep above.
Whose form is moving beauty, ana
Whose heart is beating love.
They tell me OF her merry laugh,
Her rich whol.-hearted glee;
Her gentleness, her Innocence,
And IN liant purity.
They tell me that her wavering steps
Will long demand my AID;
For the old road OF human life
Is very roughly laid.
High bills and swift descents abound,
And, on 80 rude way,
Eeet thrt can wear these coverings
Would surely 60 astrsy.
Sweet little girl be mine the task
Thy feeble steps to tend!
To be thy guide, thy counselor.
Thy playmate and thy friend.
And when my steps shall faltering grow,
And thine be firm and strong,
Thy strength shall lead my tottering age
In cheerful peace along!
