At a meeting of the Board of Direc-
tors of the Bank of Wayne. held Friday
July 81, 'eS, a semi-annual dividend of
5 per cent was declared or the capital
stock, payable on and after August
9Th, besides passing a >goodly sun to
thea already large surplus and undivid-
ed profits. This. too, in\what, we here
in Galdsboro have heard from the out
side, has been a year of panic, when
the majority of banks elsewhere re-
sorted to scrip payments. The bank S
of Goldsboro have not only maintained
cash payment on all local cheeks and
negotiable paper, but havemade band
some dividends for their stockholders.
This means hat Goldsboro is all right
and, that we do go forward. We've
got the Best Town in the State.

SALARY OF THE GOVERNOR.

To the Editor:-Do the people OF
North Carolina think that they are pay
ing their governor the salary that his
services are worth? We have ten Con
gressmen, each of whom is receiving a
salary Of 81, 500. Do North Carolinians
believe that a Congressman is worth
more than b Governor? No man in
this State who is fit to be Governor is
earning as little annually as the salary
the Chief Executive is paid. North
Carolina is a great State-greatin her
history, great in her resources. She is
rich and prosperous. She is moving
In an abundant present and pressing
forward to a more abundant flu ne.
She should not be prodigaI because lie
is rich. but she cannot afford to be MI
gardly. She should at least be Just to
her chief ruler. No Governor of the
State for many years has been able to
live on the salary that is allowed him.
And this has not been because our gov
ehnors have been eXtravagant or dis
posed to be wasteful with their means.
-Four thousand dollars a year is totally
inadequate compensation for any man
who should be at the head of our State
government. I believe that the man
presented by the western people for
the governorshtp in the recent contest
would have been worth ten thousand
dollars q ear to the State had he been
given the honor, and lam not red
to admit that the gentleman who was
able to defeat him for the nomination
s werth less. I believe that w. w.
Kitchin should be given a salary often
thousand dollars, and I think that the
Legislature to be elected this fall will
be composed OF men who will have the
manhood and pride of State that will
cause them to increase 1t to that figure
before the next Governor is inaugu-
rated.
Very truly yours,
JOHNP. KERR.

General 1T seems incredible that
such things could happen, particular
ly at Fort Hamilton, right under the
eyes of the Inspector General, right
under the shadow of department
headquarters, right under the nose of
the municipal police.
But one fool woman can make
more trouble in an army post than all
the men. We can control the latter,
but we cannot control the woman.

time, and we had to get rid of the

COTTON MARKET

the Afternoon

Business in the local cotton market
yesterday was an example of suspend
ed animation such as is rarely seen at
this season. Buyers were practically
out of the market, and some factors
were without bids OF any kind The
situation is due to the disturbing eff
fects of the election, in large measure.
Transactions were at prices ranging
from SIS to 8 "a cents, basis good
middling The receipts for the day
were Ill bales and the sales &C. Quo
tations are unchanged, though the
market was slightly easier in the af-
ternoon
New York opened unchanged for
December, but to 6 points up for lat
er positions. This was practically the
high for the day Prices worked
lower, with small rally near the
close. But at the last the market
weakened a little, the close being
barely steady, to points below the
last for Tuesday.

DAINTY GIRL FIRES
FURNACE STACK

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. 4.-One of the
prettiest ceremonies that has been
seen in that district for years was
the blowing in of the Soho fur
mace the Oldest stack of the ions &
Laughlin Steel Company, after an
idleness of several months. 1t was
all due to an old superstition among
ironworkers. To insure luck, a pref
ty woman should fire furnace stack
that had been blow out for any cause.
This superstition has resulted in a
custom, and so yesterday the old
stock was fired by beautiful young
woman in manner as charming and
dainty as if she had been hostess at
a social function, instead of in the
presence of a giant soot-begrimed
furnace stock, and with the greater
part of the assemblage made up OF
sturdy millworkers in their shirt
sleeves.
Miss Mildred MacClosky, a daugh-
ter of j. E. MacCloskyy superintend-
ent of the Soho department of the
Jones & Laughlin plant, a recent
graduate of Yassar, and one of Pitts
burg's prettiest young women, per-

so a great shout of good cheer and
approval went up from the onlook-
ers.
Let this be the flaming signal for
the lighting Of the fires of industry
over all the broad land, she exclaim-
ed as she applied the torch.
After the torch had been applied
to the oiled waste and a flame start
ed, furnaceinen came running with
other torches. lighted them with the
sacred fire. and hurried from tower
to tower, firing the materials in the
furnace at d dozen points. The GER
emony was then complete. Nothing
but good luck may be expected at the
furnace now.
