WJe refer to the Goldsboro Night School, which will be located In the Law Building, corner of John and Walnut streets. The purposes of this school are concisely set forth In the recent pros pectus published In these columns, from which we copy as follows: "There should be a reason for all things.

The Argils cordially commends the Goldsboro Night School to all those whose avocations are such that they cannot give their days to study, as well as to any who would go else where to a day school of like charac ter; for certainly are the above facul ty capable of giving full Instruction in the lines of study they have bet forth In their prospectus.

Especially well portrayed was the character of 'Mr. O'Neill,' a sailor. 'The White Slave,' by Mr. T. P. DeGafferelly. The scenic effects in the third act were remarkably true nature. The specialties by little Miss May Blossom Williams are the best child acts ever seen In Savannah and the bright little lady sang her way into the hearts of the audience.

The young lady, who Is in the em ploy of the Jefferson Standard Life nsurance Company, left the office shortly after half past five o'clock yesterday afternoon and up to two clock this morning there had been no information obtainable as to her whereabouts, it being stated that she had not returned to her boarding house. Friends of the young lady and offi cers of the police force made diligent search, and were at the depot late last night looking out for her, but these declined to give out any Information in the matter. Miss Hicks came to Raleigh from Greensboro a'wut six weeks ago and is a greatly esteemed young woman.

ROBERT E. PEARY. o White Man With Peary. .Washington, D. C. September 11. That Commander Peary had with him only his negro body servant, Matt Hensen, and a handful of Esouimaux, when he made the last stage of his Journey toward the pole, and that he had sent back the only remaining white member of the expedition when he reached latitude 87.8 was not known until the first lnstal'ment of his detailed story of his trip was pub lished today. One of the principal arguments mede by the Peary supporters against the acceptance of Dr. Cook's claims to the discoverysof the pole was hia own admission that he was unaccom panied by any white man, end that, aside from the records of his obser vations, the only corroberat've evi dence he could produce would be the testimony of the two Eskimos who were with him on his final dash. Now It appears from Commander Peary's own story that he himself was n a like situation. Aside from the negro Hensen, who had been his "Man Friday" for the past twenty years, his sole companions were four ' Esqui maux. There was no white man with him who can now take the witness stand and testify to the accuracy of his scientific observations above the latitude of 87 degrees and 8 minutes. it is needless to say that this de velopment haB brought great encour agement to the camp of the Cook fol lowers. They are today expressing renewed confidence that when the da ta of the two men are presented to an unprejudiced jury of scientists, Dr. 'ook's word will be accepted with equal credence to that of Commander Peary.
