HARDWARE ASSOCIATION
OPPOSES PARCELS POST,

ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. 15.-The Ma
tional Hardware Association. in con-
vention here. has adopted resolutions
opposing the establishment of a parcels
post system. as it would enable distant
mail-order concerns to compete with
home industry and therefore be a great
detriment to local merchants.
One-cent postage was advocated. 1t
was argued that the Government could
better afford to give the public penny
postage than a parcels post.

Would Save the EIks.

A movement is on foot among the
Elks' lodges throughout the country to
have the United States government es-
tablish an 'E1ks Reserve
The purpose is to prevent the elks
from following the fate of the buffa-
10, which are nearly extinct.
During the past few years this no.
BILE specimen of the antiered tribe has
been ruthlessly slaughtered, and
where once vast herds infested the
forests but few are now seen.
The grand lodge of the Benevolent
Protective Order of Elks is behind the
movement and every lodge in the un-
ION will be requested to pass resolu'
tions and forward them to the con
gressmen and Senators of each state
and congressional district urging
them to use their efforts to have sui
table bill passed providing for a res
ervation where the noble elk will b.
preserved and protected.
| The passing Of the buffalo is regard
ed as a national calamity and ever
effort will be made to prevent the elk
from suffering like fate.

The action affected 15O,OOO.OOO

all National Forests of this country
up to 1907. In the Yukon all water
power rights are granted for only
twenty years and at the expiration of
that time their control reyertsf to the
pubic. The water power question is
now one of the most important and
far reaching before the United States
today. President Diaz, of Mexico. has
a comprehensive knowledge of Forest
ry and understands fully the benefits
, to be gained by it's application. He
i is also deeply interested in the i'm
provement of agricultural methods.
Mexico has few large waterways but
the nation has provided for the ex-
penditure of several million dollars
for the improvement of internal nav
igation.
Recent discussion in the Canadian
parliament of President Roosevelt's
proposal for cooperation for the con-
servation of the natural resources of
the whole continent indicates that the
support of the conservation movement
in the Dominion will be as thoroughly
nonpartisan as it is in the United
States. R. L. Borden, leader of the
! opposition, was as enthusiastic in his
support as Sir Wilfried, the Premier,
who expressed his deepest approval

DEATH OF MR.. L. B. HOLT.
Former Citizen of GOldsbOrO and Old
Confederate Soldier Answers to
Last Roll Call.

The Smithfield Herald, in it's ac-
count of the death of Mr.. Leonidas
Bright Holt, of the Sanders Chapel
section, who died in Raleigh at Rex
Hospital last Saturday afternoon,
pays a tribute to the deceased, it's ar
ticle about him being as follows:
His health had been falling since
December 1st, and about month ago,
he went to the hospital for treatment
and underwent two serious opera
tions. However, these operations did
not produce the desired relief, and
death ended his sufferings and re-
leased the tired spirit from the tene-
ment of clay.
"Nr. Holt was born October z, 1888,
and was ason Of the late Wiley Holt,
who lived near Princeton. He served
in the Confederate Army during the
Civil War, and after the war he made
his home in Wayne county where he
engaged in farming for several years
About twenty years ago he moved to
Goldsboro, for the purpose of educat-
ing his children, where he lived until
four or five years since, when he moY-
ed to his late residence, about six
miles south of Smithfield.
He was married in January, 1869
to Miss Ellen Powell, a daughter OF
tie lateAshley Powell and sister Of
the ex-sheriff; c. S. Powell. To this
union we're born eight children, two
of whom died in infancy. Surviving

FOR MAYOR
The Name of Capt. j. Wash Bizzell
Is Strongly Presented.

Editor ArguS:-
The time is drawing near for the
election of mayor and other city Off
Gals and probably, not within the last
decade, has this event in municipal
affairs been looked upon with as much
Importance as the approaching one.
Without doubt the most important
seemingly not considered SO by
many,) is that of mayor. And without
doubt in this Office are we in need of
a man who may be rightly termed,
"The Man of the Hour" We have just
such a man in the mayoralty race this
time in Captain J. Wash BiszeH. A
successful young business man, a
member of the various trade bodies
of the city, a man thoroughly conver-
SAINT with the city's every need, in
short, a city man in touch with the
city's progress, this is the name that
l want to present for the considera-
ton Of your readers for the position.
of Mayor of Go1dsboro.
Goldsboro has long since taken her
place in the front rank with the most
progressive cities of the state. Colds
| boro Is no longer a village and her
government mus. be conducted along
| lines commensurate with her stand
| ing as city. We need at the head OF
our city government Mayor, not q
mere figure head, but man of good
sound, conservative judgment; not al
extreme reformist, neither the re
verse; not man so matured as to be
an old fogy nor one so young as tc
need and submit to a dictator. We
need mayor who knows the city's
| wants in every way; one who has
grown up with the city, one who has
been successful in his own undertake
ings. A man who is identified with hel
active business interests, a man il
touch with her public institutions, {
man educated in her own schools, {
man who is a Goldsborian from the
| top Of his head to the soles of his feet
a man with possibilities before him
a man whose best energies are no
exhausted, a man who will give hi.
whole and undivided time to the ad
ministration of the city's affairs, sucl
a man is Captain J. Wash Bizzell.
