MILITARY PRISONERS.
The First Move in Their Release
From Military Custody.

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 1o.-Judge
Thomas E. Matthews in the first Cir
cult Court of Davidson county today
decided that the incarceration OF Thos.
johnson and eight other alleged night
riders from Union county, now in the
Davidson county Jail, arrested by the
military and executive authorities, was
irregular and ordered that further ex-
animation of the nine pending cases be
adjourned until Decem ber End.
This declares the act OF 1898 uncon-
stitutional and the action of the Gov
ernor in holding the prisoners irregu-
lar.
The act of the Legislature involved
is entitled "An act to invest the Gov
ernor of the State with power to repel
invasion and suppress Instructions,
mobs or other ikeiassemblages.'
The section of the constitution of
Tennessee bearing on this point pro-
vides that the Governor shall not call
! out the militia Of the State except in
time OF rebellion or invasion and then
'nly upon authority Of. the Legislature
| Among the IS witnesses who have been
! summoned to give evidence before the
grand jnry at Union City this week
| three of Importance were heard today
The first testimony today was as to the
movements of certain mon who are be-
lieved to have notified the members OF
the upper and lower guage OF the Wal
nut Log raid. The evidence of the
witnesses correspond with that which
has been brought out as to members OF
the gang which killed Captain Quentin

THE GOLDSBOR0
STEAM LAUNDRY
A Plant That is a Credit to The City
And Whose Trade Reaches Over
the Whole State.

There is not in the State more con
modious nor more completely equipped
laundry than is the plant of the Colds
boro Steam Laundry OF this city, and
the superior work it turns out is win
ming it new customers and widening
it's territory of patronage daily. 1t is
not only a credit to the city but to the
measure of Goldsboro's patronage.
Few of our citizens, we take it, real
ize what the Colds boro Steam Laundry
is. They see the commodious plant in
passing, but it requires visit of in
spection to comprehend its magnitude
and it's varied equipment and sanitary
regulations; and the management of
this laundry welcome visitors cordial.
ly and take pleasure and pride in
| showing them through the plant-and
well they may, for it is marvel of in
genuity and scientific perfection in

the cleansing and handling of all arti-
eles committed to themsto laundry.

one may feel perfectly safe in sending
them the finest linens andiIaces, assur-
ed that they viii be carefully Iaunder-
ed without injury, as we'll as their

From a Sanitary standpoint alone
the health of the wearer-the health OF
the family-the satisfaction of know
ing that your clothes given for laundry
do not come in contact with those OF
every phase and condition of humanity
-theGoldsboro Steam Laundry should
command and holdb the patronage
of the white people of this community
for it receives the laundry of no other.

more serious every year, we must con-
Germ ourselves with some means of i'm
provement in our methods of growing
cotton, by which greater results can
be obtained on fewer acres. This de-
mand is upon us, and we must work
out the plan to meet it. Cotton mills
are being built in the South more
rapidly than ever before, indicating
the economy of manufacturing goods
at home.

PROSPERITY is HERE.
Financial and Industrial Affairs are
OF the Very Best.

Much as the majority OF persons out
side of Wall street maybe inclined to-
ward eriticizing thei methods of the
stock traders and the thlmb BILE rigging
in which many of them undoubtedl
upon occasion engage, the thoughtful
must conclude thatl the men in the
street are generally very alert and ap-
prehensive of financial and CONNER
cial conditions prevailing within their
puryiew.
True, they are in Wall astreet occa-
sionally, the haste awithi which the
operators generally are compelled to
act forcing them to move with little
opportunity to reflect before doing so,
tending toward leading them to make
an occasional error, but nevertheless,
they generally are on the right side of
price movements.
They generally also are aware Of
what is doing in the world long before
the majority OF others lare, their range
of vision being wide and ktheir oppor-
tunities for gathering news relating to
current movements affecting financial
and industrial affairs are of the very
best. They heve been very active in
tue street within the recent past and it
begins now to grow clear to the gen.
eral run of men thrt their activity and
the upward trend of prices were war;
ranted and that they foresaw the lift
ing of the financial and industrial
cloud.

civic IMPROVEMENT.
The Practical. - .Side---the financial
Advantage OF a City
Beautiful.

Some of the public-spiritsd, practi-
cal, far-seeing citizens of IGoldsboro,
some months ago, organize a "Civie
Imorovement League and-well-
let's say adjourned; for it's pulse yet
beats, Internationally, as evidenced by
occasional print acknowledgements of
it's hopes of accomplishment. Certain
ly are there great possibilities of ac-
com plishment lying invitingly all
around fer the Civic Improvement
League to lay hold of.
There are two thousand erganiza-
tions in the United States devoted to
the work OF civic Improvement. They
make it their special care to beautify
and adorn every available space and
to bring to bear such influences as they
can to secure aesthetic j. and sanitary
conditions.
1t is a subject of which our people
should not be allowed to lose sight.
We cannot afford to devote ourisentire
attention to tho problems of the i'm
mediate present. By planning for the
|
conditions, number of small parks
and due regard for architectural beauty,
we would ultimately have city Sec
ond to none in the country in poin
of attractiveness.
The commercial return on such in
vestments would surprise those who
have never looked into the question OF
the financial value Of municipal aesths-
tics. We can at least get very clear
idea of the converse Of the proposition
from a single incident: A wealthy
resident of Chicago, who had made
more than million dellars,p moved
away in order to escape the smoke and
dirt which surrounded him. A Chic
ago newspaper estimated at the time
that the absentees who had .pr actically
abandoned Chicago for the same rea-
son represented hundred and fifty
million dollars.

RESTORATION OF
Confidence.
Business Throughout the Vest and
In Nest Sections OF the South
Is Now Good.

"The most marked improvement in
the business situation since the cleo
ton is based on the complete restora-
ton of confidence said a gentleman
of st. Louis. today. There has been a
gradual return of confidence for sew
eral months past, and slow but sure
improvement in business, based on the
big crops, but the feeling that condi-
tions were ready for normal CONNER
cial and industrial activity came only
with the election.
Business throughout the west and
in most sections of the south is now
geod, and the best Of 1t is, everybody
feels sure that the country will center
upon o new ers of high prosperity
early in e0o0.
"Ysars ago financial panics were fol-
lowed by long periods Of depression,
but hnaneiers and business mon in
general predicted early In the present
year that ewing to the snermoas pro-
ductivs capacity Of this country and
tho Increasing demand Of our products
there would be an industrial revival

Miss Alcott's Publ

In speaking of one of Miss Eva M.
Alcott's pupils, who recently took part
in a grand concert in St. Paul, the St.
Paul Dispatch says: "The greater part
of the enthusiasm may be credited to the
solo work of Miss Alma Peterson, a
most promising young vocalist. 1t was
Mendelssohn's Hear My Prayer, with
Miss Peterson carrying the soprano solo.
She has a sweet and pleasing voice of
considerable strength and good quality,
and in her work she fortified the favor
able opinions that had been held of her
abilities as a vocalist. Her rendition of
the quantrain beginning, oh, for the
Wings; the Wings of a Dove was es-
pecially pleasing, the young woman
seeming endowed with the ability to give
full expression to the sentiment set down
in words and musical notes. The ap-
plause was enthusiastic and sustained
and Miss Peterson was compelled to re-
spond with an encore"
