Movement For Proposed
MOsely County Report
ed UnfaVOrable

The Senate committee on Counties,
Cities and Towns at a three hours
sitting yesterday heard the argument
on the bills to create the new coun-
ties of Moseley and Avery. The COM
mittee in executive session passed un-
favorably upon the Moseley county
bill and it will go to the table under
| the Senate rules, not to be resurrect-
ed within two years, the advocates of
the measure stating that the move
ment would not be abandoned. This
bill was to form a new county from
portions of Lenoir, Wayne and Greene
counties, to be. twelve by twenty-four
miles in size.
Mr.. James H. Pou, of Raleigh, rep
resenting the advocates of the new
county of Moseley, opened the discus
sion. Whenever a proposition to form
new county comes before the Legis-
| lature, he said, good cause must be
shown therefor. Moseley county, he
said, would be perfectly solvent, able
to meet all it's obligations; it would
| be of the proper size, and would be a
convenient, solvent and populous
county, promoting the interests of
| 10000 citizens of North Carolina. It
would be SO compact in form that to
man called to court would be COM
PEELED to stay away from home at
night. He said he recognised there
was an antipathy for forming new
counties, but asked what could be
said against it, saying the creation of
Moseley county would be treating no
one with injustice. Only one class of
persons are hurt by the creation of a
new county, he declared, being the
which the new one is to be formed.
Mr.. Simeon Wooten, of LAGRANGE
said he moved to that town in 1888
and ever since he had been there riv-
airy between LAGRANGE and Kinston
had existed. The people of the town
thought that Kinston received more
favors and felt that LAGRANGE could
we'll take care of itself. The towI
would be more prosperous and be {
benefit not only to the new county
but to the State. LAGRANGE, he said
5 is fifteen miles from Kinston and tht
3 same distance form Goldsboro ant
5 Snow Hill, the county-seats of Lenoir
Wayne and Greene respectively.
Mr.. H. A. Kornegay, of LAGRANGE
= exhibited a map of the proposed coun
. tty. Because of the convenience i
e would afford the people of the terri
tory affected, he said, the new count,
e should be created. He explained tn

from portions of the three named, al
4 of them distant1y removed from tn
j county-seats. At the present rate o
taxes the new county would have

Goldsboro weekly argus., 1909-02-11
GOLDSBORO is ALL RIGHT.

Some two or three years ago the
Goldsboro Buggy Company leased it's
plant to the Goldsboro Investment
Company at rental of 10 per cent
per annum on it's capital stock. The
Investment Company has operated
the plant SO successfully, that, in ad-
dition to paying the 10 per cent rent
al it has regularly declared a dividend
to it's own stockholders, and this year
this dividend amounts to s per cent,
which means that the operating com-
pany has been able to realize. q divi-
dend of 18 per cent.
When we consider the panic year
and all that it meant to large invest
ed capital, the showing that the Colds
boro Investment Company here makes
is indeed remarkable, as Il 10 alse en-
couraging, in that it means that
Goldsboro is all right.
Mr.. D. r. Kornegay, general man
ager and treasurer of the Goldsbore
Investment Company has, indeed, ev-
cry reason to be gratihed at the sue
cess Of his company, and certainly
have, also, the stockholders of the
Goldsboro Buggy Company.
And when we consider that Colds
boro is admirably located and has sc
many shipping facilities in its number
of competing railroads, it is safe to
predict that the future of our city as
a great manufacturing center is as
sured.

That Goldsboro is going to have q
strong base ball team the coming

team, of course. We had the best
team in the league last season, and

OF the best team in the league.
Have you looked in at the enpo

fer Clerk nj This PeinA

In the march of progress and de-
Go1dsboro our city continues to
achieve and hold those features that
belong to populous business centers.
In the wake of the building of the
new union passenger station and the
DETECTING of the trains through the
beautiful valley to the west of the
city, came the prospecting for and
now the laying of an electric street
car system, that is to subserve the
convenience of the citizens of Colds
boro and the public at large who shall
visit our city.
With the near approach Of the oc-
cupancy of the new station comes the
appointment of a U. 8. Mail transfer
clerk, who will have charge at the
station Of receiving and dispatehing
all mail destined to this point or sub
joct to transfer heRe.

Centre streets, where the trains still
arrive; but when the new station, al
the West end of Walnut street is oc-
cupied he will have a spacious room
for storing the mail between trains
and desk for keeping his register.
Inaeed, we go forward.

CHARLIE KING DEAD.
The White Winged Messenger
Was Indeed an Angel
of Mercy.
The Little Hero was Conscious to the
End and Spoke Words OF Cheer
and Courage to His Heart
broken Parents, Assuring
Them That he Vas Not
Afraid to Die and
Asking Them Not
TO GrieYe.
From Tuesdays Daily

L
Death came to little Charlie King
at o'clock yesterday evening, as
white winged messenger of mercy, for
the little boy had been SO fearfully
injured, that recovery was impossible,
and to live even for a day meant ex-
quisite pain, whereas he passed away
under the painless shock, before re-
action came.
Charlie King was a universal fav-
orite in the city with all who knew
him-with children and grown up
people alike, and at the graded school,
where he was one of the brightest pu-
pills and where his record, as super
intendent Woltz said this morning,
was without a flaw, the SORROW of the
| whole school, faculty and children
alike, is SO intense that it is tragic.
In the mereifully brief hours be-
tween the accident and his death, he
was perfectly conscious, and Sc
thoroughly self-possessed, and loving
ly considerate of his heart broken
parents, that he was truly sublime. He
pleaded with his parents not to grieve
and assured them, with perfect COM
posure, that he was not afraid to die
and his sublime courage W@s indeed
a Godsend to them, sustaing them as
nothing else cou1d-and he knew it
as he passed out beyond earth's sight
A hero? Yes, such heroism as can on
ly come from God. May this thought
this truth comfort them in this dark
est hour they have ever known in life
for they have never before had {
child to die, and as they yield to Hin
who is too wise to err and too loving
to be unkind, they will find solace il
resignation and healing balm in the
contrite prayer, 'The Lord hath Civ
en- and the Lord hath taken away
blessed be the name of the Lord
The funeral will be held from th'
home tomorrow morning at Il
Eo'clOck.

the people rule he said, ought to OBJ
tain in this instance, the bill provid-
ing for an election on the question.
Capt. ]. E. Peterson, of Goldsboro,
said the Legislatures of North Caro-
lima had always been careful and pru-
dent in the organization of new coun-
ties, and he believed this Legislature
would exercise the same wisdom.
There is less necessity for this new
county, he declared, than there is for
any other place in the State.
Mr.. A. T. UZze11, Of Wayne county,
saw no necessity for new county
between Goldsboro and Kinston. He
was in the territory proposed for the
new county, and stated there was
less necessity for the new county than
any other ever proposed in the State.
He declared that only a few persons
in LAGRANGE desired the new county,
hoping by it to have the value of their
property enchanced.
Col, A. C. Davis. of Goldsboro, de-
clared he believed no measure was
ever proposed to the Legislature that
had so little merit.
Mr. L. V. Morrill,, of Snow Hill, con-
cluded in behalf of the advocates of
the bill. He presented a petition
signed by "between six hundred and
seven hundred of the best white peo-
| lpe living in North Carolina who, he
said, live in the territory affected by
no Uyhn
Greene, Lenoir and Wayne were all in
one county, called Dobbs county, but
as the population increased a large
portion was cut off and Wayne was
formed and it was sub-divided again,
Lenoir and Greene being formed A
able, just and necessary. The forma-
tion of Moseley county, he argued,
would not injure either Goldsboro or
Kinston, Wayne or Lenoir. 1t could
mot increase the taxes of either Le-
noir or Wayne, and would leave
Wayne still larger than fifty counties
in the State and Lenoir as large as it
ought to be. The bill just proposed
Ito take off enough Of Greene county,
he said, to make the line straight.
He said the new county would pro-
mote every interest Of the citizens in
it's territory and would not act dele
teriously upon citizens in the other
territory. AS Lagrange is the COM
mercial and agricultural center of
that territory, it ought also,the speak
er argued, to be made the political
center, so that the people might come
!, there and settle their public business
If Moseley county should be formed
he said, the new county would as
sumo it's pro-rata share of the debt OF
the old counties.
, At 500 the committee went into ex-
ecutive session in which an unfavor-
able action was taken on the bill.
Mr.. Pou stated that this did no
mean the death of the movement but
> simply postponement for two years
