A TIMELY QUESTION.
Is GOIdsbOrO Doing Anything On This
Line.
Line.

That there is a general shifting of To-
enterprises is abundantly evidenced in
numerous ways.
Every Industrial agent of the rail-
ways OF the South and all trade organ
izations are busy answering inquiries
from all over the country.
This condition of affairs is due to an
adoption to modern requirements labor
conditions and superior transportation
facilities.
The village or town suited to any
plant in days gone by is in no way fit
ted to compete with modern manufac-
turing enterprises located at more fav-
orable points, particularly when hos
are situated neal deep water, where va
rious items of raw material have to be
transported, it is as cas- and cheap to
bring them to a supreme point or some
great harbor, where the product can be
shipped by rail or water to foreign or
domestic centers, as it is to haul to any
interior city.
When a plant gets out of date and is
forced to modernize it's economies, it
Immediately seeks a place hat combin-
es the greatest number of advantages
adapted to their wants. This system
of investigation is getting tie be well
nigh universal, and those cities which
possess such adjuncts to successful
manufacturing, and take the pains to
make them known, are likely to reap
the greatest benefits from their efforts.
Much rivalry is thus excited and the
contest is one of the most interesting
features of these extraordinary times.
Is Goldsboro doing her whole duty
along this line? This is a question
about which we should like to be fully
posted. Of one thing we are absolute
ly sure, those most desirable new in
dustries cannot be secured by merely
writing letters, no matter how efficient
may be the writer of those representa-
tons.
What is needed is cooperation of all
interested, personal presentation Of adj
vantages and judicious advertising.

Without warming the powder mills,

hundred men, and ofthese se~venty-five
were at work when the first explosion
occurred in the press mill. In quick
succession the glazing mill, the two
coming mills, and the powder magazine
blew up, followed by the cap mill. In
the magazine, situated several hundred
yards from the mills, were stored forty
thousand kegs of powder. When it
blew up the conclusion was felt nearly
Awo hundred miles away.
That the death list is not far greater
as due to the fact that the people of the
town had left their houses at the first
explosion and were not in them when
abe explosion of the forty thousand
kegs of powder in the magazine hurled
9heir homes to pieces and scattered

DlSPENSARY MOOTED.
An InOppOftune and lll-AdViSed Fac
tiOndI Movement.

The following is the wording of a pa
lures to the voters of our city. and the
ARGUS endorses every line of it and
hopes that it will be sufficiently signed
tt accomplish the purpose for which it
was prepared:
1.-THE undersigned are Informed that
a petition is being circulated for the
purpose of securing an election in
Goldsboro on the subject of the estab-
lishment of a d~ispensary. We hope
our citizens will not commit themselves
to this movement by signing this petit
ion. We think it probable that not
the requisite number disqualified voters
will sign. We are, sure, however, that
in no contingency will the citizens of
Goldsboro vote for the establishment
of a dispensary. We think we know
the sentiment of the people of this
community on hat subject. We re-
gard the movement as doomed to GER
tain failure. The only effect of calling
such an election would be TO plunge
h community into a contest causing
friction and~drawing away the atten-
ton of our citizens from those matters
in which we are united, and the accom-
plishment of which would greatly adj
vance the best interests of our city"
Just now, when the whole South is
overwhelmingly prohibition and our
State is approaching absolute State
prohibition, it is worse than fool
ish for our people to consider tor a
moment taking a step towards whis-
key-and whiskey in it's worst com
munity form, a dispensary.

ordinary man can generally whistle any

one who can put the eight notes of the

have a simple melody and an easy rhythm
