1t has been proposed that as q test
and mark of Goldsboro's civic pride
our merchants decorate their places OF
business next week in honor OF the
State convention of the Daughters OF
the Confederacy and the cause they

There is no more dangerous disease
to the fabric ct the body polite than
the night riding evil. It is one of the
worst of all the forms anarchy takes,
and where it has been allowed to be-
come infectious it has proven fright
fully destructive to property interests,
as we'll as a barrier to moral and ma
terial progress. If the night rider evil
threatens to take a foothold in any
part of this State it should be attack ed
vigorously by the law, and the mos;
drastic remedies adopted to stamp it
out in the beginning.
Already theleffects of these bright,
crisp fall days are manifesting them
selves in the quickening Of people s
steps, the spirited movements of the
business man Rand in the hustle and
hustle on everykside. A new, invigor-
ating season has come to inspire men
to greater efforts WITH the expectation
of greater rewards. O The dull period is
over, the busy time just beginning.
