THE ARGUS.
DAILY AND WEEKLY.
LOCAL BRIEFS.
Everything goes 'till the
Gorton's Minstrels, which have
the boards of the Messenger
Opera House on the 13th of this
monin.
New subscribers to the daily
and weekly Argus are rolling in
rapidly. The Argus invites
your consideration as an adver
tising medium, reaching the
homes of the thrifty and bring
ing sure returns.
The death of Mrs. Thos. Mc
Gee, who has been critically ill
for some time, occurred Tues
day morning at her home in Mt.
Olive. The bereaved husband
will have the sincere sympathy
of many friends in this city in
his irreparable loss.
The sudden death of Miss
Peninah Rose, sister of our good
friends Frank, Rufe and Joe
Rose is reported from thei home
in F6rk township. She was 57
years of age and was beloved by
all who knew her. Her death
was due to apoplexy.
And now Mr. Jno. M. Gran
tham comes to the front and de
mands the chronio for the lar
gest turnips yet grown in this
vicinity, and unless larger om
than have yet been reported
to this office are forth-coming.
he will take the laurel for this
year.
We regret to chronicle the
death of little Nellie, the in-
teresting 2 year old daughier of
Mr. and Mrs. B. L. Stevens, of
' Grantham township, which oc
curred at tLeir home last Friday.
The funeral was held on Sunday
and the interment made in the
family burying ground, ou the
plantation of Mr. J. A. Stevens.
It is well with the child.
It is truly commendable in the
W. & W. authorities that they
have increased their published
reward to $500 for the apprehen
sion of the culprit who attempt
ed to wreck the Shoo fly train
near this city last Friday night.
The Board of County Commis
sioners at their meeting to-day,
also did a commendable act in
offering a reward of $50 for ihe
same thing.
The laying of the corner stone
of the Davis Monument will take
place in Richmond in May next,
at the time of the aunual meet
ing of United Confederate Vete
rans. The citizens of Richmond
are now making arrangements to
care for the large number of
Veterans that will attend. It
will be a great day. The Golds
boro Rifles will be on hand to
represent. Goldsboro on the mem
orable and immortal occasion.
It was a real pleasure to his
many friends here to greet in the
city Wednesday Mr. Walter Peter
son, of the Atlantic Coast Lane,
with headquarters in Wilming
ton, who with his young bride,
returning from a bridal trip to
the Atlanta Exposition, stopped
over to spend Thanksgiving with
his parents, Capt. and Mrs. J. E
Peterson. The Argus wishes
the happy young couple long
life and abundant joy and pros
perity always.
As the result of Saturday's
cooking contest between the lit
tle girls of the city and county
under 14 years of age, on the re,
nowned Bucks cook stove at Mr.
W. H. Huggins' hardware store,
little Miss Helen Pittman, the 6
year old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. S. Pittman.i of this city,
won the prize a beautiful little
nickleplated Bucks stove. The
little girls were only known by
numbers, and the several lady
judges, who carefully inspected
all the numerous piles of biss
cuits and awarded the paize, were
as much surprised as was little
Helen delighted when she
the smallest girl in the
crowd responded to the prize
member. Every one of the
numerous visitors who inspected
the cooking exhibit was thor
oughly impressed with the supe
rior merit of the "Bucks," and
in no feature of the exhibit were
the winning merits of this excel
lent stove so manifest as in the
operations of these little girls,
whose bircuit were par excel
lence.
Attempt was made Friday night
by some unknown parties to
wreck the "Shoofly" train from
Wilmington, just beyond the city
limits. The spikes and side
plates were removed from one of
the rails, and if the train had
come upon it a wreck would
surely have followed; but fortu
natelv a colored man, who fires
for the Enterprise Lumber Com
pany, near by, observed
the work going on, and
making his way around the
place, flagged the train with
lightwooa torcn oeiore it ap
proached the danger spot. The
private car of Mr. Harry Wal
ters, with that gentleman on
board, was attached to the train,
and on arriving here Mr. Walters
telegraphed to the penitentiary
farm,near Weldon.for the State's
trained dogs, which arrived here
about 4 o clock this morning on
special train, and were at once put
upon the trail: out,unioituoaiejy,
many circumstances prevented
their running it successfully. At
this writing nothing has beetf
definitely accomplished toward
apprehending the culprits. The
C. L. authorities offer five
hundred dollars reward for the
discovery of those who attempted
the wreck.
In furtherance of the plan for
the establishment of an Emer
gency Hospital and Dispensary
fox the poor, referred to in The
Argus, some time ago. Dr. W.J.
Jones, Jr., and Rev. F. W. Far-
ries appeared before the County
Commissioners on last Monday,
and submitted a practical plan
for the attainment of these de
sirable ends. After hearing the
above named gentlemen the com
missioners unanimously appoint
ed a committee to whom the
whole matter was referred for
consideration, and to act with
any similar committee that may
be appointed by the City
Board of Alderman and by
the .Ladies Benevolent So
ciety. Kow that this matter
has been started it is exceeding
ly desirable, in the interest of
suffering humanity and for the
credit of our progressive citv.
that every one should use his
power and influence to push it
forward to a successful comple
tion. The highest authority has
said, "the poor "ye have always
with you," and His blessing
rest upon those who are their
helpers. This committee is to
report to an adjourned meeting
of tho Board two weeks from
M or. day.

Saturday's break of tobacco on
the floor of our mammoth ware
house was not out of the ordi
nary as to quality and prices;
but. it has been suggested thai
some or the prices paid, and
which can be taken as a criterion,
would be of interest to the gen

THE EINS1EIN CLOTHING COMPANY.
Their Great Closing Out Sale.
It will be a source of exceed
ing regret to many in this com
m unity and throughout the sev
eral contiguous surrounding
counties that the well-known
Einstein Clothing Company, of
this city, is closing out its en
tire stock with the view of a
change in business.
The name of Einstein has been
so long associated with the mer
cantile history of Goldsboro that
our people have come to look up
on it as a fixture, ana will be
loath to see it depart from the
briskly competitive trade of our
progressive city.
Away back in the early yeai s
of Goldsboro long before the
war the now venerable and
highly esteemed Moses Einstein
was one of the town's pioneer
merchants, and through all the
rolling years he has been able to
number his friends by the scores,
not alone for his honorable busi
ness dealings and congenial dis
position and cheerful accomoda
tions; but also for his manifold,
charities to needy humanity, un
ostentatious but always freely
giyen and far-reaching. In the
course of the years and business
mutations he was succeeded by
his son Sol, who is now at the
head of the Einstein Clothing
Company, which, under his ac
tive management has won wide
spread favor with the trading
public; and that the company is
now closing out its immense
stock with the view of retiring
from business is as much re
gretted by The Argus, of which
it has always been a generous
j advertising patron, as by the
'public generally who favor
Goldsboro with their trade.

Fremont, N. C, Dec. 2.
Mr. Editor:
I am glad to see you are back
in the editorial chair, and hope
you win nil it with honor to your
self and the good of the people
at large.
These are eventful times. On
the great questions which occu
py us. we all look for some de
cisive movement of public opin
ion. - As l wish that, movement
to be free, intelligent and unbi
ased the true manifestation of
the public will I desire to pre
pare the (country for another as
sault, which I perceive will be
made on popular prejudice an
other attempt to obscure distinct
views ot the public good; to
overwhelm all patriotism and all
enlightened self interest, by loud
cries against false -danger, and
oy exciting tne passions or one
class against another. I am not
mistaken in the omen. I see the
magazine from whence the weap
ons ot this warfare are t3 be
drawn. I already hear the din of
the hammering ot arms, prepar
atory to the combat. They may
be such arms, perhaps, as reason
and justice, and honest patriot
ism cannot resist. Every effort
at resistance, it is possible, may
be feeble and powerless, but for
one I shall make an effort an
effort to be begun now and to be
carried on and continued with
untiring zeal till the end of the
contest comes.
I see in those vehicles which
carry to the people sentiments
from high places, plain declara
tions that the present controa
versy is but a strife between one
part of the community atid an
other. 1 hear it boasted as the
unfailing security the solid
ground, never to be shaken, on
which recent measures rest that
the poor naturally hate the rich.
I know that under the shade of
the Capitol, among men sent
there to devise means for the
public safety and the public good,
it was vaunted forth as ma;ter of
boast, and triumph, that one cause
existed powerful enough to sup
port everything and to defend
everything, and that was the
natural hatred of the poor to the
rich.
I pronounce the author of such
sentiment to beguiity of attempt
ing a detestable fraud on the
community; a double fraud a
fraud which is to cheat men out
of their property and out of the
earnings of their 'labor, by first
cheating them out of their uu
derstaudiug.
It shall not be till the last mo
ment of my existence; it shall be
only wheu I am drawn to the
verge of oblivion, wheu I shall
cease to have respect or affec
tion for anything on earth, that
I will believe the people capable
of being effectually deluded, ca
joled and driven about in herds
by such abominable frauds as
this. If they shah sink to that
point; if they so far cease to be
men men who love liberty and
hate tyranny.men who are proud
of their ancestry as to weekly
yield to such pretenses and such
clamor, they will be slaves
already; slaves to their own pas
sions; slaves to the fraud and
knavery of pretended friends.
They will deserve to be blotted
out of the record of freedom
They ought not to dishonor the
cause of self government by at
tempting to exercise it. They
ought to keep their unworthy
hands off of republican liberty if
they are capable of being the
victims of artifice so shallow, of
tricks so stale, so threabare, so
often praticed, so much worn out
on serfs and slaves, and the vic
tims, too, of wicked and nefa
rious designs so thinly cloaked
designs deep in purpose and in
wickedness, but shallow in their
pretenses.
Mr. Editor, I admonish the
people against the objects of
outcries like these. I admonish
every industrious laborer in the
country to be on his guard
against such delusions. I tell
him of the attempt to piay on his
passions against his interest and
to prevail on him in the name
of libtrty to destroy all the fruits
of liberty, in the name of patriot
ism to injure and afflict his coun
try, and in the name of his own
independence to destroy that
very independence and make him
a beggar and a slave. Has he a.
dollar, he is advised to do that
which will destroy half its value.
Has he hands to labor, let him
rather fold them and sit still
than be pushed on by fraud and
artifice to do what will render
his labor useless and hopeless.
The very man, of all others.
who has the deepest interest in a
sound currency and who suffers
most oy mischievous legislation
in money matters is tne man
who earns his daily bread by his
daily toil. What can the labor
inn
ing man noarar preying on no
body, he becomes the prey of
all. His property is m his hands,
His reliance, his fund, his prow
ductive freehold, his all, is his
labor. Whether he work on his
own small capital or another's,
his living is still earned by his
industry. And when the money
of the country becomes depre
ciatea or debased, whether it . is
adulterated coin or paper without
credit, that industry is robbed of
its reward. He then labors for
a country whose laws cheat him
out of his bread.
- Whoever attempts under what
ever popular cry to shake the
stability of the public currency
and bring on distress in money
matters, stabs the working man's
interest to the heart.

Cape May. Dec. 1
Eariy this morning the Coid
Spriug life saving crew discover
ed a two-masted steamer wfc.ll
down in ihe water a few miles off
shore to the eastward. Her move
ments indicated a desire to com
municate with the shore. Just
before the steamer arrived in the
otting a tug, thought by the surf
men to be tne Active, steamed in
near the 6cfati pier, landed lour
large yawiboats and hurried
away. Soon after the strange
visitor steamed up near the pier,
landed her pilot, Jerry E.dridgv;,
and received the lour yawis left
there by the tug. Tney were
taken off to the steamer by a
shore boat manned by four ex
pert watermen. Thy had been
engaged to do the job by four
strange men, who embarked ou
the waiting vessel, which, as soon
as she hoisted her boats on board
shaped her course to the south
eastward and was soon out of
sight.
No one seems to know the
name of tbe steamer. Pilot Eld
ridge was seen at his hotel, and
ne replied in answer to a query
tKat he had nothing to say as to
m name ui ms late cnarge or
her character.
Keeper Sooy, nf Cold Spring
Station, when he noticed the
boats landing at the ocean pier
at such an unusual hour hasten
ed to the spot to see that the rev
enue laws were not violated, he
being ex officio a Custom House
inspector. He saw the four men
who embarked, and says they
were dressed like gentlemen, one
of them looking like a foreigner.
He wore a wide-brimmed soft
hat. 1 he steamer is regarded as
the Horsa, which cleared yester
day at Philadelphia.
A swarthy Cuban, who was on
the strand this morning, watched
the steamer until she disappear
ed below the Southern horizon.
He let fall later some words
which leads to the belief that the
steamer took in arms and ammu
nition last night off the Cape
May shore from a mysterious
schooner which could be plainly
seen all night under the bright
beams of a full moon by the surf
men of Cold Spring Station.
The report is that the heavy
yawls which the 'craft took from
here will be loaded with warlike
stores trom her hold, manned
and set adrift in the Moua pas
