They were strolling together up the hill, When the winds came blowing merry and chill; And it blew the curls a frolicsome race All over the happy, peach-colored face. Till scoldine: and laushing, she tied them in Under her beautiful dimpled chiu. O western wind, do you think it was fair To play such tricks with her floating hair? To gladly, gleefully do your best To blow her against the young man's breast, Where he had gladly folded her in, And kissed her mouth and dimpled chin?

Chicago Saturday Evening Herald' New York's Democracy. New York, Oct. 5. An inti mate friend of Senator David B. Hill, in discussing the apparent lethargy m Democratic circles, explains the situation thus: "Up to noon today it was by no means settled that either Senator Hill or Congressman Lockwood would accept the nominations the otate convention had con ferred upon them. L.ach was willing to yield to some other Democrat if the right man was chosen. At no time since the Convention adjourned has either one of these candidates ex pressed willingness to accept the nomination, and at all times they were perfectly willing to retire m favor of a Democrat who would conciliate and unite the party. Not till to-day, when wheu Jeige Gaynor declined the honor Senator Hill w7ished to impose upon him, of taking the nomination for Governor, was it determined that Hill would lead the ticket. Had Gaynor accepted, Hill would have retired and taken the stump for him and the rest of the ticket. senator mil s hrst speech in the campaign will be made at Utica, October 16th, and his last November 3 at Elmira, where, for the last thirteen years he has annually wound up the cam paign Bkooklyn, N. Y., Oct. 5. Wm. J. Gaynor this evening wrote a letter to the Hon. J. W Hinckley, Chairman of the Dem ocratic State Committee, declin ing the nomination conferred upon him by the Democratic party to run on their ticket for Judge of the Court of Appeals. In his letter Mr. Gaynor says "The reason which I publicly as signed for not wishing to become the nominee tor Governor pre eludes me from accepting an other place on the ticket, as may be seen by recurring to them, and I am therefore constrained to decline the nomination forjudge of the (Jourt ot Appeals, as grateful as I feel for it, and as much as I should like to hold a place of so much usefulness.

BUTLER BEARDED lie Is Met By Simmons at Jordan's Store and Pealed to the Quick and Held up Naked to the Odium of all Fair-Minded Men: Popu lists Ashamed of their Supercil ious Leader. The meeting at Jordan's store Thursday between Hon. F. M. Simmons and Mr. Marion Butler was a Waterloo to the arrogan t In 1 -rr -ro r r lnolny on1 lio f fX.lt 1 ; t tn v,;c wnr.o J. IU V VAC liW UV,VlilLV l;v I the fearful castration he there received from that great cham pion qf Democracy Hon. F. M. Simmons. This meeting at Jor don's store had been heralded for weeks in advance as ;the great est gathering of Populists this whole section including Samp son, Jonnston, yy ayne ana part of Duplin counties had known since the party was organized. and the Pops had made so much giration over it, and they make so much fuss anyway, like those bull f rogs that Bob. Glenn told us about, that we really had ex pected hundreds upon hundreds to be present on this "gala day" of the Pons to greet their great! bearded chieftain "Mary Ann.' But, bless your soul, after they had come and come and come, and they were all sized up wo found that the "Mountain "had labored and brought forth" abov 200 Pops: these with some thing over 100 Democrats formed the audience to greet the bearded chieftain aforesaid at Jordan's store. Butler and Dr. J. E. Person caine together and found Hon. F. M. Simmons duly on hand to re ply, as he thought and as all thought, the Populists included to Mr. Butler. But the latter, true to his nefarious practices and un fair mode of proceed ure, refused to make the first speech, and de.- - . i r ... maniwa tnat ivir. aimmons speait first. Mr. Simmons, although thus It with in the outset. did not act ugly, but readily took the lead, after making known to Mr. Butler his protest at being thus taken advantage of at a sneaking where the Democrats had been challenged to meet the chief of the Pops. Butler m his speech following Mr. Simmons, tried to deny that the 1'ops had challenged the Democrats; but Mr. W. C. Muuroe, who was on the scene "called him down"' on this point and had the following oflcial notice, which was posted in the neighborhood read: NOTICE. Marioa Butlor and Dr. J. E. Per son will speak at Jordon's Store on Thursday Oct. 4th 18!M at 12 o'clock M. If the Demoerates will oring out a Speaker an equal division of time will be given them. By order of Ex. Com. P. P, Then calling Con a leading Pop ulist in the audience Mr. Munroe said, "How about it, Mr. God win ; isn't that a challenge to the Democracy?" and Mr. Godwin admitted that it was. In his opening speech Mr. Simmons made a splendid pres entation of tbe grandure of the Democratic party; -of its achieve ments for the masses and ot its clearly demarked purposes to accomplish even greater things for their relief. He made a hne imnression on our people. It was a good speech, with no mud- slinging. He wrounded no man s feelings, and held the absolute attention of the entire audience. Butler's reply to Mr. Simmons wras unworthy of any gentleman, much less a man rosmg as and seeking to be a leader of of the people. It was simply mud-slinging at the Democratic party and brow beating, without a single aspersion upon the re publican party, from beginning to end. It is impossible to give even an impression of his speech, for it was an hour and a half of as near nothing as I ever heard; and his windy assertions without facts to sustain them, and his clownish faces and repulsive dis tortions of his mouth were so tfirvronorhlv Hisornstino' that, some I o-j o o - of his followers were actually L.i nf him and left, the stand. The fact of the matter is Simmons made such a speech and his argument and facts were so uncontrovertible that Butler was thoroughly routed to begin with; so much so that when he took the stand he looked more like a man be reft of reason than a great leadei of men which he is not. - In fact, if Main's circus was only coming on the loth of November instead of October, he misrht get a position as clown, for1 the elec tion would then be over and his present occupation will be gone in his twenty minutes reioin aer Mr. oimmons literally uayeu I , , . -. . . ,. -i Butler and held him up naked to the contumely, of the audience. i It was a fearful castigation the more fearful because it was true. He showed up Butler's political quiets pain, cures diarrhoea and wind record: hbw he had put CovJcolic, allays foverishness, destroys ifoyr at tVit masthead nf hi Ta- iLaxr at tne masineaa oi nis p DoTc oornwith n Tnnstpr l" J CZ t" "iTt I at the torj how m two weeks he had taken both Carr tand the rooster down and put Pat Exum's name up but with out a rooster. Butler talked i about the '"odious" election laws of North Carolina. Simmons showed that he (Butler) had been a member of the Legislature since those laws were in vogue and asked him why he had not then introduced some bill, or res olution or even made a speech in that body against ijiese laws which he is now denouncing? Butler was dam as an oyster. Democracv held her own priori- ously through her peerless chain . f , . - t - ,1 P.ion Simmons, and from the way the Populists listened to him and were impressed by the wrords and demeanor of the two speakers in contrast, we may surely expect good results in November. Ajax. Grantham's N. C. Oct. 5. Why Fusion Won't Fuse. A wTeek or so ago we quoted the wise reasons given by honest Ransom Gulley, a sensible and practical farmer, why he would remain true to the Democratic party, and give a deaf ear to the Populists. Yesterday we gave the reasons why intelligent neg roes wouldn't support the fusion movement. Let us giye a few reasons to-day why hundreds of good, honest farmers in North Carolina will now follow their visionary leaders iuto the land of nowhere. When the Republicans were in power in North Carolina, virtu ally all the taxation was levied on real estate. Personal property paid little; corporations paid nothing. Under Democratic rule, there has come a t change. Tax ation has been reduced from 80 cents on the 100 to 22 cents on the 100. The total taxes collected in North Carolina last year Was $1,- ayo.cvjy. 1 6. This amount was collected as follows: On lands outside town lots . .5 2. 820. 6:$ uei-ses 18,74'J.IW Mules l(i,127.()8 Cattle 12.263.34 Hosts. 3. 74(5.10 933. Kt r?:!,04S.'J8 5 1,07'.). 06 Sheep Farming- utensils Household, furniture. etc . Total paid by farmers W22.494.05 Leaving- collected from all other sources 'J7:, 405,0 Seventy per cent, of the peo ple in North Carolina are farmers. They pay less than one-third of the taxes in the State. That's what the Democratic party does for the farmers. Again: The farmers do not di rectly pay one cent for the execu tive, legislative and judicial de partment of our State govern ment. All their taxes go lor the support of schools and for pensions for the old soldiers. The following shows the cost of these three branches: The Executive Department, 14.109.58 The Judicial Department, C.O,712.0'.t The General Assembly, fi.".J76.l.S Total Cost, $li;0.S.7.3-3 Of course this does not include all the cost, but pays all salaries of our public officials. Last year there was collected in special, privilege and corporation taxes, from railroads, express compan ies, insurance compauies, banks, seal tax and fees, $151,083.12 almost enough to pay the above necessary expenses of State gov ernment. There are many other reasons why the thoughtrul farmers m North Carolina will repudiate the fusion, but these reasons are suf- ficent to-day. - It is such facts and figures that destroy the prospects of fusion, and keep the industrious and thoughtful farmers in the ranks of their own "party, and prevent them following the false gods which professional office seeking farmers set up for them to wor ship. llalcigh At7.s--Observer. A Solid Foundation. Washington, October 3. -The recent heavy storm on the At lantic coast demonstrated the gratifying fact that a stable bot tom has been found off Diamond Shoals, Cape Hatteras, N. C. Some time ago on borings made by the Tight house board of the treasury, temporary pilings were driven down at this point. The receut storm did not budge them and if suchtemporary work can withstand such a furious storm, the belief is entertained that per manent piles will remain secure, by means of which a solid foun dation can be made upon which to erect a lisrht-house. which is so badly needed on ous coast. this danger- CASTOIlf A ia truly a marveloe thing for children.

The Democratic party of Cam den held their primaries on last Saturday. The nominations for candidates for the Legislature and for county offices were made by vote at the polls. The candi dates for the Legislature wTere C. F. Ferebef and Samuel Gregory. He is a supporter of Jarvis for the Senate. Your correspondent attended the voting precinct at Shiloh and was there throughout" the day. There he ascartained with absolute certainty that the Pop ulist party has ceased to ex ist in that county. At this pre cinct in the lastPresidential elec tion the vote was as follows: 1158 -Democrats, 40 Republicans and 70 Populists. There were of the Populists teu or twelve for mer Republican.' These are safely back m the Republican party, whilst many of the Democrat Poj)s have returned to the Demo cratic pai ty. Fusion did not fuse the Demo cratic Pops. It completely an- nihuiated the 1'opulist party in Camden for all time. Daniel Squires, the fusion candidate for the legislature, will not get a vote from the former Populist of that county. Mr. Branch spoke at Shiloh some days ago to a large number of people and the universal senti ment there .is, that this speech was made with telling efiect doing great good for the party The party is united upon him and with enthusiasm.

Washington, October 6, The renuest that the recent sale of the R. & D. R. R. to tbe South ern Railway company be set aside was argued in Equity Court No. 1 to day be fore Justice Cox. This resulted from the petition of Edward Gorman, his father, who was killed by a train, accident in North Carolina, in 1890. Mr. Gorman sued for damages and recovered $14,500 for the death or his lather. The road had m the meanwhile passed into other hands, and nothing remained to satisfy the judgment. Mr. Gor man contended that the sale had been confirmed by the courts without proper notice. Mr. A. S. Worthington ap peared for Mr. Gorman and ar gued that! the sale in equity should be declared void because certain creditors were not given an opportunity to present and collect their clains on account of the hasty proceedings. This was opposed on the part of Mr. Francis L. Stetson, of New York, the lawyer of the South railway company, and Gen. Wm H. Payne, of Warrenton, Va The case was submitted to Judge Cox, who reserved his opinion Victims of the Stornl. Jacksonville, Fla., October 4. A special from Key West says that fifty dead bodies, vie tims of the wrecks occurmg on the reefs during the recent storm, have been washed ashore on the islands. The dead are evidently sailors from the ves sels destroyed, although the length of time which has elapsed since the storm has rendered the bodies Unidentifiable throujrh de composition. The probabilities are that many more of these ghastlv evidences of the hurri cane's f urv will be brought , to light in a few days. Washington, Oct. 4. The Treasury gold reserve is only a few - thousand dollars below the $60,000,000 mark to-day, having gained $1,000,000 in the past two days. . It is now $8,000,000 above the lowest point reached in the Summer. - . HER HUSH BLUE EYES. Sweet Maggie Magill, she lives on a hill, Her father's farm is next to mine; I met her oft when I drove to the mill, Her hair was like gold in the bright sunshine. Away from her now in a foreign land, Where many a maiden one's con stancy tries, I long for a touch of he 2, small friendly hand, I sigh for a glance of her Irish blue eyes. Sweet Maggie Magill, when coining away, I ask her to promise my bride she will be; one gives me lier word, what more could she say? That when I come h ick she will marry me. My heart to her 'keeping I fondly surrender, She of all lassies the treasure and prize; Ah! would she were here, so gracious and render: Oh, for one glance of her Irish blue eyes! Edward S. Creamer. Business Improving. Baltimore, October 4. Spe cial reports to the Manufacturers Hecord from all parts of the South, show that the general improve ment in business previously noted continues, and that the situation as a whole is almost uni versally reported as very prom ising. There is a decided in crease m industrial matters, and in railroad mtests quite a number of important combina tions are forming, calculated to have a material influence upon the development of the South At a meeting of the Southern Railway Company's stockholders it was stated that $5,000,000 would be expended in general betterments and improvements along that system. President ngalls, of the Cincinnati & Ohio, has reported that extensive lm provements, including a large de pot at Richmond, would be made at an aggregate cost of about 2,000,000. Plans have been an nounced for the extension of a railroad through Arkansas into the Indian Territory, with con nections that will reach some im portant coal fields. A number of electric railway projects have been announced, as well as some short steam roads for opening up mineral and timber lands. Among the new industrial and financial enterprises reported for the week are: A $200,000 mining and manufacturing company and a $35,000 enlargement of a cotton mill in Georgia; a $20,000 tobacco manufacturing company, a $10, -000 lumber company, a $100,000 telephone company, and a quarry ing company and water works in Virginia; at Bridgeport, Ala., a large railroad grain elevator will be built; at Jacksonville, Ala., an extensive cotton-seed oil mill has been organized; an $8,000 ice factory, a $20,000 lumber mill and electric works in Florida; a $28,000 tobacco factory, an $8,000 ice factory, a $2o,000 cotton mill company in Mississippi; a cotton mill, electric light plant, gold mining operations and the en largement of two cotton mills in North Carolina; a flour mill, coal mine, wood-works plant and paint mill in Tennessee. Hank clear ings and railroad earnings con tinue to show a largre increase over corresponding time of last year, r rom an parts ox tne ooutn there is reported a considerable increase in the inquiries from outside for mineral, timber and agricultural lands. Democrats Elated, Springfield, III., Oct. 4. James A. Crawford, State Presi dent of the United Mine Workers of America, the Populist nominee in this, the 1 th district for (Jon gress, has signed a contract to work for M. C- Keefe, of Pitts burg, manager of Willard Coal & Rock Drill Company of Chicago beginning October 15th. The terms of the contract are that Crawford shall resign his post tion as State President of the United Mine Workers of America, and also resign as a candidate of the Pormlist party for Congress This is a bomb shell in the ranks of the Republicans of the dis trict, who have been expecting help from Crawford s candidacy for their candidate, Major James A. Connolly. The Democrats are correspondingly elated and assert with confidence that VJrawiord's withdrawal assures the return of Wm. M. Springer to his seat in the national Legislature. , It will De impossible for the Populists to bring forth a candi date to take Crawford's place, as the time for filling nomination papers with the Secretary of State closes at midnight of the sixth. . ' OUR NEW VOLUME. Daily Argus, 7th. The Akgus enters this morn g upon its twentieth semi-an nual volume, turning the last mile-post in the round of ten full years of daily existence and labor and effort to accomplish the best of everything that is j?ood for mankind in general and its own people in particular. And as we stand this morning on the thres hold of a new volume and feel the pulsing consciousness of duty done, though the task wras often arduous and the obligations any thing but pleasant, we feel that we may be pardoned for expressing- personal gratification over the retrospect. There are many definitions of happiness, but a philosopher has 6aid that its secret is '.'never to let " your energies stagnate"'. Every human being realizes the delight or 'something accom plished, something done"', and this "nipping air" and exhilarat ing fall weather stimulates to ex ertion; m every nore or our brain, in every pulse, in every vein we feel the electric influ euce. We are glad to say good bye to the duties that have been fulfilled, to the volume that is closed: and we are glad, too, to adjust our armor for even a more earnest battle in the future for the duties of our calling as they shall present themselves to be solved. We feel that there has not been a time in the history of the ages when the need and the duties of a fearless, intelligent, equitable press were more pressing and re sponsible for the right instruc tion of the masses and for the supremacy and guidance of that X"arty which advocates and sus tains the principles of the Con stitution and demands and con tends for "equal rights to all special privileges to none"'. The people largely, everywhere, it seems, are departing from the pristine virtue of patriotism, which is the priceless heritage of the American fathers of our iberty, and are straying oft after strange gods and following false leaders who, before their very faces, change their principles(?) almost daily to suit the "trade winds"' of partisan politics. It is the responsible duty of the press, therefore, to exert them selves constantly to school the minds and hearts of the people in the principles of political eth ics and the duty of fealty to those principles. The task is an ar duous one and the difficulties are many; but the men of the press are never so manly as when con tending with difficulties and bat tling for the right. Knights of old who won their spurs by deeds of daring took the vow to fight "for king, for church, for ladyT fair" and good men and true of our own time lead this knightly life of vindication of law, resis tance to wrong and defense of the weak, though they dispense with the pomp and pageantry of the vows of chiyalry; and no where are they found truer, braver or more laborious often unrequited than in the editorial profession: so much so, that they have been likened to the votaries of the chivalry of old and hon ored with the title of "Knights of the Quill". Yes, as a profession, wre have work before us: and here m Goldsboro in Wayne county in this section in the territory of its circulation, The Argus has its full quota. All around is work to be done; work to develop the mind and character and mus cle of our people to the fit and proper solving of the problem of life. There are prizes to be wTon by all who strive in gener ous competition, and we should invite others seeking fields of ef fort to come and compete with us and help build up our waste places and cultivate our fallow lauds. Our section is opulent in resources, healthful in atmos phere, benignant in climate: the inexhaustible fertility of its lands and its teeming forests .ajethe solid foundation upon which the prosperity of our people depends and must eternally rest. The Argus believes in the dignity of labor. Tho riches that men amass can be made a essing or a curse, according to the manner in which they are used: Moi ey is not the end, it is only the means of usefulness. Selfish indulgence or niggardly hoarding, or extravagant gratifi cation debase the character and make wealth a menace to the community. The greatness of a nation is sapped by luxury. His tory is eloquent and convincing in illustrati of this fat. The prosperous man, if he is a good citizen, will diffuse through the community' the blessings he has received: every philanthropic work will I'el the, touch of his generous co-operation: every in dustrial enterprise will have the nucleus of ris encouragement and financial support. Goldsboro is young yet; and only as she grows and prospers can the territory around her go forward. We must not, therefore expect an early or speedy accom plishment of the greatest results desired. But the people of Golds boro should do what they can to help on the good work, by hold 111-, . IV- i lJ LVy L11V J V- f by inspiring them to be energetic and to do good, and be good, in their day and generation, and to find their highest happiness in the exercise of the faculties God has given them in the promotion of good government, in the furtherance of intellectual and industrial development and in loving service to their fellow men. These are somewhat of the les sons I he Argus has sought to promulgate in this community, anil among its readers in genera tor the ten years that mark its existence. It has no regrets for the past; it has no higher purpose for ihe future: it shall do as it has done, maintaining the integrity of its convictions at all times. It is buoyant with hope for itself, for Goldsboro, for North Caro lina, and for the countrv. The Progressive Peanut. The Baltimore San gives the popular peanut this editorial em brace: According to the United States consul atMarseilles, the democrat ic and popular peanut, "which cheers but does not inebriate, per lorras quite a number of valuable oles m thrifty and ingenious France. ' 'The best nuts. " he says. 'yield about fifty per cent, of oil in weight at the nrst crushing, and from twelve to thirteen at the second. The oil is worth in Marseilles from nearly $(J to over Mb per quintal. This oil is .argely devoted to the inanufac ture of white soap. It is also used as food, principally, how ever, on salads and as one of the constituents of margarine. A third use of the oil is for illumi natmg purposes. It is reported to be a very good illuminating fluid. The crushed meal is used as a food for stock and also for fertilizing. The shells alone have no market value." About 300,000,000 pounds of peanuts imported into France last year from India, Argeu tiiia and South Africa. They sold in the Marseilles market for from $2.90 to $6.37 per quintal of 22U.-V pounds. The peanut does not hold up its head as wheat or put on airs, but its versatility seems to be far greater, and some of our Southern grain-growers might find it profitable to give the lowly "goober" a little more prominence in their agricultural operations. improved in iraue. j New York, Oct. 5.

A great party with principles and a record which could be defended would seek and enjoy public aud open dis cussion, in which its opponents would share a part, and would gain the confidence and support of the people, but no party that loves the shade and avoids just discussion can ever haye the con fidence of the people of North Carolina. 31r. Hollowell is wise in his day and generation. We com mend his discretion. The fusiou ticket would poll a paltering vote if the whole people could see and realize, as they would by a joint discussion, the utter aban donment of principle of which their leaders have been guilty in their vain attempt to capture a fewT offices for themselves, at the expense of the rank and file of the parties which have trusted them. They are seeing it now every day, and scores of honest Populists are turning away from the fusion fraud, heart-sick and disgusted at the treachery of their leaders. The truth cannot be kept from the people, no mat ter wrhat dark lantern and under ground methods Mr. Hollowell and his committee may resort to, and on election day they will regret that they ever heard the word fusion in the confusioh and shame which will then, overtake them. The poor excuse offered by Mr. Hollowell falls to tho ground of its own weight. We ask have you any princi ples which you are not ashamed to advocate in the open air,where they can be justly discussed? and his repty is, we can't discuss be cause you didn't appoint us any poll holders. If the people should, as they will, fail to elect Mr. Hollowell and his co-candidates, we presume on the same reason ing they woull never feel that they could ever again address the dear people and attempt to mislead and deceive them, bo cause the people failed to recog dize them. Are they ashamed or afraid to meet the people? If they were not they would ,jump at the chance at public discussion and not hide themselves behind a pretended excuse. But enough, the people are not fools and they know that no party in' Wayne county for fnany years has ever evaded a joint discussion, and they will understand, in spite of flimsy excuses, that fusion will not bear the sunlight.
