GONE FOREVER.

Ten years ago an Allen county ,Kans.
farmer put his initials on a dollar bill.
The next day he went to the nearest t
town and spent it with a merchant.
Before the year was out he got the
dollar back. Four times in six years
the dollar came back to him for pro-
duce, and three times he heard of it in
the pockets of his neigh bors. The last
time he got it back was four years ago.
He sent it to mail-order house. He
has never seen that dollar since, and
never will. That dollar bill will never
pay any more school or road tax for
him, will never build or brighton any
Of the homes of the community. He
sent it entirely out of the realm of
usefulness to himself and to his neigh
bors when he sent it to the nail ord er
house. The moral is plain.

MIR. ED PORTER DEAD.
End Came at 8 o'clsck This Morning
Funeral Tomorrow Afternoon.

From Fridays Daily.
After many weeks of fhersic battle for
recovery, but with cheerful counten-
ance for his fell adversary, Mr.. Ed. II.
Porter,in the 50th year of his age," fell
on Sleep this morning at 8 O'Clock, at
his home on North James street, and,
indeed, the white-pinioned messenger
came as an angel of relief, bringing
healing in his wings-the aIchymy Of
Immortality.
Mr.. Porter has been a resident of
Goldsboro for fully 80 years, coming
here with his brother-in-law, Mr.. Mil
ton Harding, now of Asheville, in the
architect and building business, when
he was barely 21, and he has resided
here ever since, holding the cordial ss-
TEEN Of all who knew him and wealth
of abiding love from his personal
friends, and these mourn today his un-
nelly death with a sorrow that is the
sincere tribute of their affection.
Marrying the sw eetheart of his youth
in his Virginia home, at Portsmouth, he
brought her here, where she readily
won the hearts of all our people, and to
their happy wedlock three children
were born, two sons, Messrs. Erwin
and G rit, and one daughter, Miss Glare,
and these with their devoted mother
survive him, and in their great bereav-
ment have the tenderest sympathy of
the loyal-hearted people of Colds
boro.
Mr.. Porter is also survived by a
brother, Mr.. Frank Porter, of Will
mington, and by another-not a
brother, but who loved him as such
his business partner, Mr.. w. II. Gsd-
win. whose devotion to him through
all his illness-apd through all the
years of their business association
was beautiful.
Mr.. Porter was a highly esteemed
member of the Odd Fellows, the
Knights of Pythias and the Elks, and
under the auspices of these fraternal
orders conjointly, the funeral will be
held from the home tomorrow after
noon at O'Clock.

tician CLARK Of the agricultural depart

joysd unprecedented prosperity, and
now the ninth huge harvest is prao-
tically assured; never have there been
nine such years. years Of big yields

they explain the prosperity that pre-
ceded the panic Of last October, al
though they do not explain away that

last night Chairman Lodge called
the convention to order at ten
O'Clock this morning and briefly
told the delegates to make the balance
of the business as short as possible, to
forget unpleasantnesses, shake hands,
and go home and work for the success
of the ticket.
An all night conference was held by
the New York delegation in an effort
to get together on a candidate from
that state for the second place on the
ticket, and it 10 reported this morning
to haveiresulted in an agreement to
present Mayor James S. Sherman, of
Utica, for the place, particularly as it
has been understood from the outset
that the President wanted a strong
New Yorker to carry the little end of
the Taft ticket; and in the event of
New York's inability to get together
on Cortelyou, whom Roosevelt unques-
tionably favored, the White House

Timothy G. Woodruff, of New York
named James S. Sherman, of . tica, for
Vice President, saying that New York
can be carried by the republicans if
a New York man gets on the ticket.
New York has failed to get first place
in Gov. Hughes, but the Empire State
will be found in the republican column
| if 1t can have second place on the
ticket; otherwise New York stands a
geod chance to hand her 80 slectaral

| Never but once when New York had

State been lost to the republicans and

| Uncle Joe Cannon warmed the crowd
to the highest pitch OF enthusiasm by
saying that Sherman is as we'll quail
fed as any man on earth to take the
place of the Pr esident if the President
should be called away.
Cannon concluded, and it was plainly
seen that the man for whom Woodruff
| and "Uncle Joe'' had let out their
lungs would be nominated, barring
miracles.
Senator Lodge took the floor and
nominated Gov. Cnrtis Guild, of Mas
| sachusetts, Chas. E. Osborn, of Michi-
of New Jersey, named former Gov.
Franklin Murphy.
Gov. Sheldon, of Nebraska, was also
nominated.
Somebody shouted the name OF vice
