TIE TIDE OF IMMIGRATION.
adge Pritchard Apprehensive Of Gem
ing Conditions.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 30.-Speaking
tonight at a church banquet, United
States Circuit Judge Jeter C. Pritch-
ard, of North Carolina, declared that
he verify believes the time will come
when an attempt will be made to
overthrow our present form of gov
ernment unless something is done to
stem the current Of opposition which
is now steadily rising"
''But," he added, eff we as church
members will only do our duty and
teach the men of whatever nationality
the relation that they sustain to each
other and to society, the great calam-
ity can be avoided"
The judge was discussing immigra-
ton. While many of the new people
coming in, he said, are worthy of con
fidence, yet the majority are totally
unfit to assume the responsibilities cf
an American citizen.

The Supply of Beef.

The beef eaters and the cattle pro-
ducers of the country are warranted
in disputing as the explanation of
higher prices the assertion that the
supply does not keep up with the
growth of population. That statement
Is not borne out by the facts as pre-
sented by the Department of Agricul-
ture. Even ii the old range states.
which supply only 10 per cent. of the
livestock Of the country, more cattle
are raised than ever before. Here are
some pertinent facts: In 1900 there
were 43,902,414 head of cattle in the
country On January 1, 1909, there
were 71,O99,000. In the leading cattle
producing states of the West the value
of the cattle has increased, according
to the departments census, from 1900
to 1903 as follows: In Arizona, s2,O0O.-

Local Passenger Train Smashed Up
Entering Petersburg Yesterday.

Petersburg, Va, Nov. 30,-Just as
local passenger train No. 81, which
runs between Richmond, Va, and
Rocky Mount, n. c., entered this city.
northbound, about noon today, on a
down grade at the Mount Airy yards,
it ran into an open switch and the To-

and scrap iron. The engine was over
turned, after running a distance OF
over hundred yards on sidetrack
The engineer, J. w. McAlister, of
Manchester, Va, who stuck to his
post, was instantly killed, being
caught under the engine, and the ne
gro fireman, who was slightly injured,
escaped death by jumping from the
cab. Mail Clerk H. N. Craven, of
Washington, D. c. suffers with
sprained back. A wrecking party
soon opened the track to traffic.
The passenger cars all remained on
the main line, and none OF the pas
sengers, though severely shocked,
were injured. The train was in
charge of Conductor John Gotten, The
coroner held an inquest.

Story of Plot to Assassinate Rockefel-

Cleveland, O., Nov 30.-WithoLt
guard, John D. Rockefeller. and his
party drove from his Forest Hill home
to the station this afternoon and took
train for New York.
Following the story of the plot te
assassinate the president of the Stan
dard Oil Company told to the police
today by Sawyer Smith, of Minerva
o., the Cleveland police stood ready
to furnish an escort if demanded b.
Rockefeller. The aged millionaire
however, appeared devoid of anxiety
over his safety. The only unusual
move he made was to direct his chauf-
feur to take circuitous route to the
station.
The police chiefs in Cleveland and
East Cleveland are endeavoring to
trace the alleged plotters whose de
scriptions were given by the Minerya
man. The Rockefeller home was un-
der guard all Monday night but today
under the direction Of Rockefeller, the
guard was withdrawn.

get what is coming to US whether we
kill or kidnap him. Bill and the other
fellow have plenty of money and are
willing to pay well for putting him out
of the way"
Smith reported the matter to the
Canton chief of police and on his rec
ommendation called on Chief Stam-
berger, of East Cleveland, with whom
he went to see Rockefeller. Smith TOLD

BUDGET rs HELD UP By UPPER
HOUSE OF PARLIAMENT
Majority Is Large One-Finance Bill
VIII Be Referred to the PeO-
pie of the Country.

London, Nov. 30-The Marquis o.
Lansdowne's amendment to the budget
was carried by vote of $50 to rs.
The amendment in effect declares that
the Lords should not vote on the mea-
sure until the country has had an op-
portunity to vote on it..
Lord Curzon, Conservative, former
Viceroy of India, opened the debate on
the finance bill this evening. He sup
ported the amendment of the Marquis
of Lansdowne in strong speech. He
appealed to the leaderships not to SUR
render their position. If they did, he
said, nothing would stand between the
people and the House of Commons.
Lord Curzon strongly deprecated the
suggestion that this country, whose
constitution is our glory and the Won
der of the world, should accept a
single chamber system like Bulgaria
or Greece. He agreed that the country
might be on the eve of great and mo-
mentous struggle, which might lead to
a reform of the House Of Lords, but
he contended that they should not
shrink from a struggle which would
give the country a second chamber
with the strength which had been de-
MED to themselves.
The obsequies of the budget were
of the most magnificent description.
Tie scenes in the upper house this
vening were worthy of a great his
eric occasion. There were no vacant
ats in the galleries reserved for
eresses. and the distinguished
angers gallery and the commons
Iies were crowded.
The peers, as they took their seats,
we're solemn and serious and seemed
lowed under the weight Of enormous
responsibility.

EARLY CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.
There Are Great Many Things to Be
Said I'm Its Behalf.

Had 1t ever occurred to you tha
the most advantageous way in which
to shop during the period which i'm
mediately preceded the Christmas hol
idays is to shop early?
There are great many things to be
said in it's behalf.
In the first place, you stand a bet
ter chance of getting what you want
The stock has not been picked over
You get the first choice of a fine as
sortment of goods, such as come here
The lady next door will not have a
dress which is dead ringer for the
one which you paid forty-f1ve or fifty
dollars for.
But the real point is not so much
your own selfish interest as the fact
that hundreds of men and women who
are engaged in the shops in Goldsboro
are entitled to some kind of considera-
ton. They should be able to enjoy
the holidays also.
And they can do this only if YOU will,
shop early.
We all know what the holiday rush
is. Why not make it less burdensome
this year than it has ever been before +?
You serve your own interests and
those who are "cabbed, cribbed and
confined" by shopping early.
Let the holiday this year be nota-
bic exception from all that have gone
before.

THE BEST VACATION.

The best vacation for all men
everywhere and for all time is that
ordained by God at the creation. A
writer says: cit is neither so long
as to be disastrous to business, nor
so short as to give no relief. It is
not long vacation for summer
time, nor short one in the winter
1t is not one for the master at one
time, nor for the servant at another
time. 1t Is not one for the mistress
to go abroad for weeks and months,
while Biddy must remain day in and
is not optional for the rich and COM
pulsory for the poor. But it is just
such vacation as the Lord of all
might be expected to provide for be-
loved children. 1t does not require
labor for long period to exhaus-
ton; nor does it throw the poor long
out of employment, till they suffer
for want. Six days are exhausting
enough at hard labor. One feels
tired by Saturday night, and needs
a day for vacation. On Monday
morning, if he has rested according
to the commandment, his vigor is
restored. Thus our Heavenly Fa-
Their has provided vacations for all
distributed throughout the year. He
has made these obligatory upon all
alike save in cases of mercy and
great necessity.-Herald and Pres
byter.

FINDING FRIENDS.

when I first came to this town
to live" said a young married wo-
man, 81 met a lady who discussed,
analysed nearly every one I met, re-
hearsed every one I met, rehearsed
everybody's past deeds and character
according to her own dislikes and
estimates. l was foolish enough to
let her words influence me, so that,
1 must confess, was prejudiced this
way and that; and a crooked and
devious path I trod for a time.
Eventually 1 found most of the peo-
pie more kindly and companionable
than she had presented them; some
that she had praised most highly I
found not wholly truthworthy. Now
adays l do not depend upon a socie-
ty guide"
1t is indeed wisdom's way not to
listen too closely to others gratuit-
Gus comments on those you meet as
a stranger, but to depend on find
ing friends everywhere, taking the
best for granted. Equally wise and
kindly is it, except in extreme cases,
to let others go on in the same way,
form their own estimates, find their
own s.-Wellspring.

THE TOUCH OF THE UNSEEN.
AS feels the flower the sun In

But sun and sunlight never see;
So feel l. Thee, o God, my God,
Thy dateless noontide hid from
me.
AS touch the buds the blessed rain,
But rain and rainbow never see;
So touch / Thee in bliss or pain.
Thy far vast rainbow yelled from
me.
Orion, moon and stars and bow,
Amaze a sky unseen by me;
Gods wheeling heaven is there, l
know,
Although It's arch I may not see.
In low estate. I. as the flower,
Have nerves to feel, not eyes to
see;
The subtlest In the conscience Is
Thyself and that which toucheth
Thee.
Forever 1t may be that
More yet shall feel, and shall moi
see:
Above all souls Thy Wilderness rolls
Not visibly, but tangibly.
But flaming heart to rain and ray
Turn l in meekest loyalty;
I breathe and move and live II
Thee,
And drink the ray I cannot see

up. And now there was nothing for
Jack to do but to collect his scattered

that needs to be killed"
Jack started. Had Miss Lucy heard
him talking to himself while ago?

will let you know if I see hin

AS I told you, Jack didn't feel {

THE VALUE OF A DAY.

Sitting down quietly at late hour
of the evening to enjoy treasured
volume" I became so absorbed in
the beautiful thoughts of a favorite
author I did not realize the time
until I was aroused by the sound of
the clock of neighboring church
tower striking the midnight hour.
The day was done! How strange
ly impressive the thought! Many
times in the church, or alone in my
room or with choice friends, had
watched the impressiveness of the
watched out" the old. year and fully
appreciated the impressiveness Of the
occasion; but never before had 1
been 80 deeply conscious of the
value of day and the seriousness
of its close.
Again and again we are reminded
in the Bible of the value of the day
''This is the day which the Lord
hath made; we will rejoice and be
glad in it." "As thy days, SO shall
thy strength be-" "Give us this day
our daily bread" why stand We
all the day idle!" "Son, go work to-
day in my vineyard eff a man
will come after me, let him deny
himself, and take up his cross daily,
and follow me-" The value Of a day
is continually emphasized in the
Word of God.
John Ruskin hung a beautifully
Illuminated motto over his bed. This
motto contained but one word-"To-
day" He desired every morning on
arising to be reminded Of the value
Of the new day. Carlyle writes these
impressive lines:
$50 here hath been dawning another
fair day;
Think, wilt thou let 1t slip useless
away?
Out of eternity this new day is
born;
Into eternity a night will return
How may we live q profitable and
helpful life? Ruskin gives us this
wise counsel: Let every dawn of
morning be to you as the beginning
Of life, and let every setting sun be
to you as the close; let every one of
these snort lives leave its sure rec
ord Of some kindly things done for
others-some goodly strength and
knowledge gained for ourselves" -
