SHOULD LOOK AHEAD.

Under the above heading the Green
vile Reflector commenting editorially
in it's Saturday edition upon the per-
turbation of some of our business men
over the aforesaid city ordinance re-
quiring stationary awnings and over
hanging signs to go, says:
"The business men of Goldsboro
are much exercised over an ordinance
passed by the aldermen requiring the
removal of overhead signs and avn
ing posts from the sidewalks, and are
endeavoring to have the ordinance re-
pealed. The business men are making
mistake in that particular, that is if
Bhey would like for the looks of the
principal streets of the city to be i'm
proved. If such distractions as over
head signs and awning posts are re-
moved, after observing the improved
appearance for time they would
never want to go back to previous
conditions. Thet was the experience
Greenville had. There was a stir here
for time over the removal of side
walk distractions, but they were re-
moved. and the business street looks
so much better that now an express
sion is never heard in favor of putting
the obstructions back"

PEARSON VS.. DUNCAN.
Row Among North Carolina RepubIi-
cans AS Seen by New Yorker.

New York Sun.
1t appears that President Taft's
now famous Greensboro speech, in
which he pretty plainly intimated that
the Southern Republicans in general
and the North Carolina Republicans
in particular were unfit to control
Federal patronage in their respective
states, has not been productive of
pleasant results so far at least as
North Carolina is concerned Every
body, especially the Democrats, rec
ognized in that illumination a well
come and appetizing note, but it be-
gins to look as though Mr.. Taft, hav-
ing released flood Of noble and me-
lodious sentiment upon the situation
has given himself no further concern
and left the old time referees to do
| without serious interference pretty
much what they were doing in the
lush days of Theodore.
The complaints and animadversions
are plentiful, but they convey little
| intelligence to outside ears. It is per
fect1y clear, however, that the North
| CdrOIlna RepuDllCanS, OUTSIDE the SER
| ried ranks of the officeholding and
office distributing coterie, are con-
| vinced that Mr.. Taft's Greensboro ad-
dress amounted to little more than a
gaudy ignis fatuus, and that things
are going on very much as they did
| before he sounded that alluring note.
We have knowledge of the appoint
ment of a few Democrats, one of them
an engaging gentleman who appears
1 to live in Pennsylvania and use North
Carolina chiefly for fox hunting pur-
poses; but it. does not appear that the
old-time, native, rock rooted Republi-
cans of North Carolina have been ran
sacked for available appointees, and
it does appear that the referees, the
ancient authorities that fourished un-
der a former and more bruta1ly can
did dispensation, are holding on and
exercising the same old power and in
fluence.
We are not sure that these protests
will apply in other Southern States
1t is far from clear to us that the row
in North Carolina is representative
but there seems no doubt about il
: there, and if Mr.. Taft ever gets
through with his junketing and settles
down to business he might prof1tably
give moment or two to that partic
ular tangle.

FOOTBALL.
GOIdSbOrO High School Team Defeats
KinstOn.

In their first game of the season
our high school football team defeat
ed Kinstons high school team Satur
day on Kinston's field, by a score OF
6 to O. The score made by touch.
down by Daniel, from which a very
difficult goal was kicked by Rackley.
The game was one hard struggle
both teams being about evenly match
ed in weight and playing ability.
The game began at four o'clock and
consisted of two twenty-minute halves
with an intermission of ten minutes
In the toss Kinston won and selected
their goal, with Goldsboro to kick off
Rackley kicked to their twenty-five
yard line, Kinston fumbled the ball
and King fell on it.
In the third rush Butler was slight
ly injured and was unable to continue
playing. Denmark took Buffers place.
Just one minute before the close of
the last half Daniel, quarterback
went around left end for a twenty
yard dash, and was not tackled until
he was two yards back of Kinston's S
goal line. Rackley made the free kick
which was difficult.
First half, Goldsboro 6, Kinston o.
The second half began with Kinston
receiving the kickoff. This half was
a harder struggle than that of the
first, for Kinston had put in three of
their faculty, who were formerly of
Davidson and V. P. I. football teams.
The playing of King and Spence in
this half should be specially mention
ed. Their tackling on the end made
it impossible for Kinston to gain
around them, and they also made two
forward passes out of three, and that
of Spence was a twenty
dash after receiving the ball.
Three minutes before the close OF
the last half Goldsboro was on about
Kinston's thirty-yard line, but the
constant line plunges of full-back
Rackley carried the ball with in one
yard of Kinston's goal line, when time
was up. Goldsbor 6, Kinston 0.
This was a good game of football
in which both teams showed their
spirit and playing ability.
1t is thought by the manager of this
team that we will be able to play a
game here this week or next. Our
team has already shown that they are
going to play to win. And it is now
up to the citizens of Goldsboro to
come out and help them win.

STORY OF THE CHICAGO FIRE.
New Theory Claims Cow Started the
Blaze by Kicking Over Lamp.

Thirty-seven years ago today Mrs
Moriarity's cow kicked over the lamp
that set fire to Chicago. Before the
fire had been checked more than 49,
900 houses had been destroyed, en-
failing a loss of over $3.50, 100000 and
causing more than 100 fatalities.
With those on the inside, it has
been an open secret for many years
that the fire was the result of terri
Bile error in judgment on the part OF
the authorities. The fire in West Ca
nal street, in what was then the most
lawless element part of the city. The
houses, which were old, were connect
ed by underground passages and 9th
er means Of communication unknown
as to their details to the police. When
criminal was so fortunate as to
gain the refuge of one of these houses
he could rest in comparative security.
When the fire started it seemed too
good an opportunity to let pass and
the word was quietly passed to the
firemen to make bluff fight until the
dive district was wiped out. Unfor-
tunately fierce wind arose, the water
supply failed, and the fire got beyond
control. It burned for more than
three days before it was finally con-
quered.
There can be no question that the
authorities did wrong when they al
lowed the fire to burn, although they
we're doing what they thought would
he for the best interests of the city.
It was their duty to extinguish the
6re as soon as possible. They had no
tight, moral or legal, to pursue the
course they did. Yet 1t is an every
day event In the lives of most people
to be cognizant of some wrongful act
being performed that good may re-
suit And 1t never works out well in
the end.-Cincinnati Tribune.
