O'Clock Solicitor Jones Fuller in Gull

Twill take all the week. So far tn

UNION STATION NOTES.
The ssFirsts' i'm Connection With the
Opening of the New Station Today.

Opening of the New Station Today.
On the first day of April the new
station was occupied.
The first to buy a ticket from the
agent in the new union passenger sta
ton today was Mr.. J. c.. Arlington,
cling man, and The Argus man as he
witnessed it was told by Mr.. AIRING
ton that on the first day of April for
ty four years ago he was captured and
held a prisoner of war for some weeks
after the surrender of Lee, and that
he little thought then that he would
live to see his home again, much less
to live so long and see such develop
ment in the South as is characteristic
today of the land he fongnt for SO gal
lantly.
The first engineer to enter the new
station with the first regular passen-
ger train today was Mr.. John Donlan,
formerly of Wilmington, now of Rocky
Mount, and who, by the way, was a
collegemate of the editt5I: of The Argus
in the years before either Of us was
twenty y-one.'
The first engine was No. 267.
The first conductor was that always
observant,t courteous and competent
popular favorite, Capt. Edgar L. Hart
who seemed to be just as happy over
the new depot as any Goldsborean.
The first Goldsboro citizens to buy
tickets and ride on the first outgoing
train were Messrs. e. B. Dewey, M. T
Dickinson and Col. A. G.. Davis.
And there you are.

EXCUSE OUR BLUSHES.
From Thursdays Daily.


Mr. Editor: At the opening up of
the new union passenger depot today,
while the assembled multitude, COLI
posed of all conditions of society lis
tened with rapt attention and viewed
with civic pride the imposing struc-
ture that they had gathered together
to christen, it was a sight to make the
heart glad to see Joe Robinson" as
he is affectionately known and called,
standing up there on the temporary
forum with outstretched palms and
melodious voice, telling his audience
of what the public and progressive
spirited people have accomplished. 1t
was there in all it's grandeur as an
object lessen. 1t was the realization
of what it cost Joe Robinson years
of hard labor and continual agita
tion to accomplish and it was meet
that he should be present on such an
auspicious occasion and that his voice
should be the first to be raised in pro-
claiming a full fruition of hope long
delayed. Nothing but the love which
he has for his people, the pride which
abides in his bosom for the proud rec
ord which Goldsboro has made and the
hope which he entertains for it's fu-
ture, could have urged him on through
all these years of ceaseless toll, when
the ship oftentimes seemed nearing
!, the breakers, to finally convince oul
people that he was right and that ht
knew their needs better than they. The
, crowd that went down to the depot to
day were as much delighted to Sc,
and hear Col. Robinson as they wer'
to view the magnificent structure.

dinner, when blessing waS asked by
Lev. j. Gilmer Buskie, % the finish,
we have never seen a more orderly,
good natured and highly genteel
crowd assembled. Indeed, from start
to close The Argus is proud of our
wayne county farmers as they ap-
peared and conducted themselves in
the presence of our distinguished VS.
itors today.
In addition to the gentlemen above
named as making talks, there are also
here, demonstrating to the farmers in
the seed corn tests, Messrs. c. B. Will
liams, of the experiment department,
and ]. s. Berges, of the soil test de-
partment. And also, as an encourag-
ing visitor, Mr.. K. w. Barnes, of the
State Agricultural Board.
Prize Winner.
After a careful and thoroughly dis
eliminating examination of every pile
of corn, which proved most instruc-
tive and satisfactory, and which con-
sumed the entire afternoon unit, sun
set, it was found that the corn dis
played by our good friend, Mr.. Icha-
bod Grant, of New Hope, best met all
the tests, and that of Mr.. Geo. NJ. War
rick, of Grantham, came second
Mr.. Grant was therefore awarded
the prize of $3.50 in gold, which was
indeed a distinction to be proud of, for
certainly was there not an inferior
quality OF set., corn in the entire great
display.
Mr.. Grant said that his corn was
the same that he has been planting
the same that he has been growing
for the past fifty years. Good for old
Wayne county.

Procession of School Children More Than Mile Long,
Headed By the Goldsboro Cornet Band: Thous
ands of Citizens Throng the Streets and
Participate Joyousy in the Open
ing of the New Station.

From Thursdays Daily.
Well, really, now what's the use OF
trying to tell everybody all about it,
when everybody was there ito see,
and everybody knows what great
day this has been in Goldsboro and for
Goldsboro-this First day of April,
1909.
Goldsboro has done herself proud
on many occasions-always "sizes-up"
creditably when incumbent public du-
ty requires; but today our people
eclipsed all former popular demon
strations, and from 1880 to IL: :3G
o'clock there was such tidal wave of
civic enthusiasm surging through our
streets as to leave no uncertainty
whatever as to the interest all classes
of our citizens take in the new union
passenger station and what it means
for Goldsboro-for the Greater Colds
boro of the near future.
Our own people had demonstrated
to them today, in prideful panorama
of living truth, in the long array of
marching school children, two abreast
we are a city in childhood popula-
ton alone, such as even the most op-
timistic of us had not so realized be-
fore. And that great army of chill
dren mean the future of Goldsboro-
the manhood and the womanhood who,
coming up from our peerless city pub
lie schools, make the Goldsboro of the
Go11 1rI1o
sured But why should we wait for
their coming to mans estate to bare
their arms in the effort for and the
achieving of the Greater Goldsborc
that we are so capable of creating in
our own time and enjoying for our
selves? Do we need further object
lesson than we had today? Let us
from this day and date-this First day
of April, 1909-get together and pull
together and build and enjoy while
we yet can that Greater Goldsbort
that The Argus talks so much about
And we talk about it in all sincerit.
;and faith-faith in it's realization; jus
as we have talked about for years an
had faith in the realization of tn
splendid Union Passenger Station il
the formal opening of which today ou
people so joyously and proudly par
ticipated by the thousands-and tn
many thousands.
Opportunities for community deve
opment-for the achievement of Great
er Goldsboro-are at hand alread
and others even more inviting al
trending hitherward. Shall we sit 81
pinely in the dwarfing shadow of miOI
selfishness and let the oppOrtunitie
at hand die and those that are to fo
low pass us by, while like childre
sitting in the market-place," apart, v
pipe to on another, instead of gettir
together and getting busy. Let's r
solve today-now! and the tomorro
of Goldsboro will be the dawning
