New York. Jan. 22.-The feature
OF the news from Kingston, jamaica.
is the declination OF Sir James Alex
ander Swettenham, the governor of
Jamaica. TO accept American aid and
the departure in consequence OF the
American warships under command of
Rear Admiral Davis. A dispatch
from Santiago stated that the cruiser
Marietta, which arrived Tuesday
night at Santiago from Guantanamo
had sighted Davis ships making for
Guantanamo Sunday afternoon. on
cial dispatches on the American re-
bun should soon be forthcoming.
Swettenhams action appears not to
have met the views Of the people and
the city officials OF Kingston.
II is reported that the city council
met after the incident became known
promptly disapproved the English
governors action, and not only sent
a letter of regret 10 Rear Admiral
Davis. but asked him TO reconsider
his decision TO leave and remain with
the American ships as every aid was
stu urgently needed.
Davis replied that he had no al
Tentative but ~ go I'm accordance
with the desire OF the constituted au-
thoritles.
English newspaper comment on the
incident 10 unanimous In regretting
the occurrence and In expressing the
hope that the good relations existing
between the United States and Great
Britain will not be endangered there
by.
No official American comment had
been for Incoming up 10 an early hour
today. inasmuch as the American
government had NOT been officially in
formed OF Swettenham's action. Gov
ernor Swettenham's explanation OF
his course and the outcome OF the in
cident are awaited everywhere with
keen interest.

The Latest in Wireless.

A recent telegram that the
wireless telegraph station at Point
Iona, which is just across the bay from
San Diego, Cal, and the site of the
greatest philosophical colony in Amer
lea, caught a wireless message which
was being sent to Pensacola from
Washington, later caught up by Wash
ington itself, and then distinctly fol-
lowed the winged words which were
being sent by the battleship Connect
cut, stationed at the time in New York
harbor.
While we have not followed the re-
cord Of distances Over which similar
messages have been sentby the wireless
system in the past, this appears to be
about the farthest that they have been
transmitted over lam and establishes
a new record for this marvel of the in
ventor's mind. We have become so
accustomed to accept as a matter of
course such performances as that of the
present week that we rarely stop to
consider how really remark able they
| are.
1t has not been so long since peo-
pie read and relished the joke about
the unsophisticated Indian who sat on
the note he was carrying, together with
a store of provisions, because he had
found by previous experience that the
note a given him away as to the pro
visions he appropriated to his own use

THE VALUE OF GOOD ROADS.

One of the statistical experts Of the
federal department of agriculture has
recently been gathering information as
to the average cost of hauling crops
of the south to market, and incidentally
has gathered a great deal of interesting
data bearing on this subject.s ---z--@ =
The facts and figures are interesting
in themselves, but they are particularly
so as throwing light upon the impera-
tive Importance of a system Of good
roads for this section of h country.
Information has been gathered from
sos counties throughout the South At
lantic and South Central group Of
states.
1t is gratifying to note that of these
two groups the South Atlantic states
make decidedly the better showing.
1t is shown by the statistics from the
entire number of counties reporting
that the average load is 1,7O2 pounds,
which is carried 11.8 miles to the near
est market, on an average of one round
trip a day, at a cost of $2.76 per load,
or about 10 cents per hundred.
But the essential point in all this is
that if the south had a better system OF
roads, SO that she could carry heavier
loads along the highways or make more
frequent trips in the course of a day,
she would reduce thecost of rural trans
portation materially.
1T would be by no means impossible
to double the present average, either
by increase in the size of the loads OF
the frequency OF the trips, if the roads
were in a condition to warrant it.
On the cotton crop alone this would
effect a saving for this year Of nearly
SIS, 900, 900. If the cost of carrying a
bale of cotton to market could be re-
duced from 80 cents to 40 cents, such
would be the magnificent total saved
this year on that crop alone.
And what a splendid system Of roads
we could inaugurate with that amount
purpose. Fifty millions in ten years
would give US a net work of highways
which would compare favorably with
those of the most progressive countries
of the world.
This saving would be On one croI
alone, and there are a thousand pur
poses to which such roads are devoted
1t would make general communication
easier, and would do away with tn
sitting isolation in which the farmer,
of the south have lived SO long.
Aided by the extension and supper
of the rural free delivery the south in
few years would be literally trans
formed. AS a mere matter of dollar
and cents it should be. taken up an
carried through, and at the same tim
we would be contributing immeasur
ably to the culture and refinement whicl
} make country life an ideal existence.

Princeton, N. j., March 1S.-It would
require a bushel basket to hold the let
tiers, kilograms and other messages of
congratulation received to-day at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Grover Cleveland
on the occasion Of the SEVENTEEN birth
day of the ex-President. A number of
the felicitous greetings were forwarded
to Mr.. Cleveland, who is now enjoying
his annual spring pleasure trip in the
South, visiting his old friend, Gen. E.
P. Alexander, at Georgetown, S. G. 1t
is to these regular hunting and. fishing
trips that Mr.. Cleveland attributes in
no small measure his robust health at
the age of three score and ten.
It is Interesting to note that OF the
25 men who have served as president
of the United States, eight of h first
twelve who filled the office lived to be
20 years of age or older, while the thir-
teen who followed in the office of chief
executive of the nation there were but
four who lived to the age of 70-Presi-
dents Fillmore, Buchanan, Hayes and
Cleveland. OF the first twelve Presi-
dents John Adams lived to the g Of
90, James Madison died at 3d. Thomas
Jefferson at SO, John Quincy Adams at
SO,and Martin Van Buren, n Andrew
Jackson at the age of 10 and rs, re-

anan, the oldest, died a the age of II.

1t is now % years since Mr.. Cleve-
land first assumed the burdens of the
White House. Only five other Presi-
dents lived so long after theirinaugura-
tons, and these were the two Adamses,
Jefferson, Madison, a Buren, and
Fillmore. No President inauguated in
the past half century, except Mr.. Cleve-
land, has survived his Inauguration for
more than 16 years, which was h re-
cord of Gen. Grant.

A new INVENTION.
One In Which a Number Of
GOldSbOrO Citizens Are
Interested.
Signal Block System For Preventing
Railroad Accidents Tested Near
Richmond and Pronounce
ed Success.

A Der of ARGUS readers in this
city will doubtless be interested in the
following item, which we clip from the
News-Leader, the leading afternoon
paper of Richmond, Va.
Representatives of various railroads
and many prominent business men OF
Richmond gathered at Elba station at
$3.50 O'Clock yesterday afternoon and
ook a special train to a point on The
Richmond, Fredericksburg and Poto-
mac railroad, several miles out of the
city, where the Richmond Signal Com
pany, represented by George w. Lam
caster, had invited them to view the
workings of a single track system of
signals for the prevention of railroad
accidents.
"Signals had been placed at regular
Intervals, and two engines and one
coach representing three trains were
used in making the test.
"Many expert signa1men were pres
ent yesterday, and the signals promptly
responded to every test to which they
WIZ pun ~ UdO SIdtlllcd G1OI vi
those present.
cit is claimed that the signals work
automatically, without the intervention
Of any human agency, and it was sug-
gested by railroad officials present that
a system of such signals be placed on
every track leaving Richmond, in order
that the railroads may have a practical
test of the benefits to be accrued from
thesystem.
"It is claimed by the inventor that
the system, if noticed by trainmen,
will absolutely prevent head-on and
rear-end collisions, and will warn the
engineer when there is danger OF a
broken rail, open switch Or open draw
bridge accident"

in UNITY THERE
IS STRENGTH.
A Community Cannot Pro-
qreSS without Strength.
Unity OF Opinion Must be Backed by
Unity OF Action, Otherwise
There Can be no Pro-
gFeSS NO
Safety.

The trite saying that heads this
article has been recognized as a tunda-
mental truth from time immemor1al.
The experience of man gained by con-
tact with competition along all venue
of human effort proves daily that with
out unity on community interests there
can be no safely demarked lines OF
action-and without action there can be
no progress.
The ARGUS has long and persistently
advocated the need of GoldsborO for a
variety Of manufacturing enterprises
in order that our city may develop in
to Greater Goldsboro and with safety
maintain herself as a populous and
progressive centre of and
osperou community. On this point
there is no division of opinion among
our people. In other words, there is
Unity Of Opinion: But there is a wo-
full lack of Unity of Action-the one
vital essential of progress and perman-
n prosperity.
Along this very line the Wall Street
Journal, a universally recognized
authority in financial and industrial
centres, has this to say in its issue of
Friday last, and we commend lt-not
to the casual notice but to the earnest
consideration of ARGUS readers in this
community:
'For a community as well as for a
country taken as a whole, attention
might we'll be give to the cultivation Of
variety in the products of manufacture.
If reasons were wanting it night be
said that the following would suffice
to commend such a policy to those who
take a comprehensive view Of the
economic advancement.
t'First, a variety of industries is the
best kind of demand for the varieties
of talent which almost every commun-
ity produces in one degree OF develop
ment or another. A place with but one
or two occupations cannot hold all the
talent which grows up there, but must
throw off too much of it's most enter
prising population to find occupation
elsewhere. It is thus undergoing a loss
for the benefit of other places, which
prove to be more attractive to its over
supply of native ability. Variety of
industry gives a choice to talent, and
results in a ~many-sided character in
the industrial attachments of the people
which make up a town, a village, a
city, or a state.
Secondly, a place of numerous in
dustries of different character is not so
likely to suffer depression as one which
is dependent on a single great industry
overshadowing everything else. The
one industry has to run the risk of los
ing its market with the progress of
competition from other quarters. There
have been places which in the course
of a few years have persisted from this
very fact. The people only knew how
to do one thing and when that failed
they had to leave their homes and find
occupation elsewhere. The record of
dead towns in the last twenty-five
years might not be a very large one,
but many tombstones bear the epitaph:
Died From Doing Only One Thing"
