A SAD HOME
The Angel of Death Has Made Frequent
.-'.-:. visits of Late. '
Mr. Troy Howell, of the Ar
rington : bridge .section of this
County, was Jn 5 the city M onday
looking sad and forlorn. Within
the last two weeks affliction's hand
has been laid heavily upon his
family and the angel pf death has
been a. frequent visitor , at his
home.
His first sorrow was the loss of
his young babe, and before the
cold, clammy clods had settled on
its coflin the spirit of his next
youngest child had winged; its
way to the Heavenly mansions,
and then his heart that had been
so suddenly wrung with grief,
was well nigh broken when the
wife of his bosom was taken
from him. .,
All this is inexpressibly sad,
and is almost beyond human en
durance, but it is feared that the
end is not yet. He has two more
little brighteyed children at
home that he bad thought was
left to console iiim, but, sad .to
say, they, too, have been stricken
with fever, and unless relief
comfts soon they will join the new
made family on the other shore.

present with their "weed"

are intent on catching the
swift sounds that are issuing
forth from the auctioner's mouth.
The brawny countenances of the
planters are either made glad or
sad as the highest bid is finally
called out and the crowd moves
on to the next pile. The whole

thought to have bee a all that
was ready for the market within

have sold tobacco elsewhere say
that the prices on this market
are equal to, and in some ins
stances in advance of other
markets in the State. Twenty
dollars was the highest figures
reached at the sales to-day.
The recent arrival of several
more buyers on this market has
made competition more brisk and
the planter is made the beneficiary.

Dear Argus : Of? A i
Id your columns recently we
read au article copied from Zion"s
Landmark in which the editor
answers an inquirer in regard to
the f much mooted question of
Sanctificatioa,' and, I suppose,"
in so doing he' has "conferred a
very great favor upon many of
his readers.
Iq reply, the "editor "says":'" "1
meV one of these men recently
who told me that if a man com
mitted one single sin after he be
came a child of God, he was
thrown back where he was be
fore he became a Christian, and
that) it was impossible for a man
toserve two mastersGod and
the devil."
Tne truth of this, if under
stand the editor, he admits, and
attempts to evade its force by
quoting two other passages of
Scripturr, viz : I John1 i: 18, "If
we say that we have no sin, we
deceive ourselves, and. the truth
s not in us," and Eccl. vii:20.
For there is not a just man upon
earth, that doeth good, and sin-
neth'not." These texts do not
answer the question satisfactory
to any honest inquirer alter
truth. They only describe man
apart from the grace of God in
Christ. He says "God has a
sanctified, people. Heb. x:14."
but it is God that sanctifies, Jude
1. There is no ability in man to
sanctify himself as these men
claim JV A A A
This is a mistake. I have heard
scores oi'inem testily, ana l
never heard one of them claim
anything of the sort. "They give
God all the glory.
"He says that to be sanctified or
preserved blameless -v unto: the
coming of the Lord Jesus, is a
wonderful deliverance form evil,"
etc.,; ''yet such would say they
are sinners to tne ena oi nie.
What strange reasoning. Sup i
pose a man was oace profane,
repents, and for ten years has not
uttered a profane word, should
continue to avow himself pro-
fane, I ask would he not be a liar?
Her might say he once was pro
fane, but not now so withthe
thief and the drunkard.
If Paul was a sinner to the end
of his life, he was not a Christian
at the end, and hence could not
receive the crown of life which
he said was laid up for him.
Whatever Job, Isaiah, Daniel,
Paul and John thought of them
selves as men, does Eider.; Gold
believe they were unholy men as
individuals? David said in the
86th Psalm, 2iverse: "Preserve
my soul for I am holy." Did he
lie because he professed to be
holy?
Sin is generated in the heart
of n.an not in the head. God
demands only the heart, because
out of it are the issues of life
and death. Honest mistakes are
not sins. We can never rise above
mistake in this world. Sin and
holiness are antagonistic. "With
out holiness no man shall see the
Lord" Heb. xii: li. "Blessed
are the pure in heart" Matt, y :8.
Are none pure?
I submit this proposition with
out fear of successful contradic
tion: If the grace of God in
Christ Jesus cannot save me from
all sin in ! this1 life then it is a
farce and a failure--not if it has
not saved me, but if it cannot." I
am" sick the doctor prescribes
a medicine that will cure me if I
take it, but I refuse to take it
and die, who is to blame, myself,
the doctor, or the medicine?

They know that a really good complexion
is a sign of health, and created by Nature.
; There are different ways of imitating a fine
complexion : cosmetics, which deceive no
Doav. bat ruin, tne skin ana make the nsei
look silly and prematurely old ; stimulants
which only give a temporary flash : danger
ous drugs which drive pimply disorders
from the lace oack into the blood. AU
these counterfeit" complexions are un
safe and easily detected. But the genuine,
vnmistakeable, much -admired color and
clearness of health can only be obtained
by clearing all bilious matters and humors
out of the blood.
The first step towards creating a good
complexion by Nature's own method is to
get the blood clear, and the circulation free
and active. There is no complexion so sal
low, muddy or pimply but it will be cleared
and brightened by Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. It is the best natural
complexion-maker on earth. It sends the
fresh glow of real health to the cheeks by
thoroughly clearing all bilious and eruptive
humors out of the blood. It strengthens
tLe digestion and regulates the bowels in
a mild, natural war. It gives brighter color
to the blood, and not only beautifies the
complexion but makes the eyes brighter
and the breath sweeter.
If the bowels be very much constipated,
it will be advisable to take small doses of
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, conjointly
with the use of the " Golden Medical Dis

A Tablet .Discovered in Egypt
Which is Thought to Give Some
Cue to the Pharaoh Whom
Moses Rebelled Against-
New York Sun.
It is well known . that nothing
has more perplexed Egyptolo
gists than the silence of Egyp
tian records regarding the so
journ-(of the children of Israel in
the eastern section of the Nile
delta: i That silence was broken
in February of this year, when
Prof. Flinders Petrie, while en
gaged at Thebes in clearing the
site of the funeral temple of
Merenptah, the son and susces
sor of Barneses It., unearthed a
very large tablet of black gran
ite; bearing a long inscription,
in which mention is made of the
Israelites. In the current num
ber of the Ceutury Magazine the
discoverer himself discusses the
bearing of the inscriptr'on on the
question whatber Merenptah
should be recognized as the Pha
raoh, who, after repeatedly hard
ening bis heart, let the people of
Israel go.
At first sight it seemed diffi
cult to reconcile this inscription
which records an expedition
which took place on the fourth
or nttn year ci Merenptah s
reign (about 1203 B. C.) with the
supposition that the Israelites
were at the time domiciled in the
land of Goshiiah. For in the in
scribed account of the campaign
in fayria, auring wnicn he sub
dued all his enemies, Merenptah
says: t. "The Hittites are quieted;
ravaged is Kanah (near Tyre)
with all violence; taken is Aska-
Ion; seized is Ohesulloth (con-
jecturally identified with the
modern Iksal) Yanvah of the
Syrians (near Tyre) is made as
though it existed not; people of
Israel is spoiled; it hath no seed;
Syria is widowed." This inscrip
tion unquestionably proves that
Merenptah knew the namaof the
Israelites, and that he had at
tacked and . crushed the people
thus called. But from the con
text showing that this occurred
in Syria, in the neighborhood of
Galilee, it seems to follow that
the exodus of the children of
Israel fro 2i Egypt must have
taken place in an earlier reign.
Prof. Petrie, however, clings to
the hypothesis that Merenptah
was Pharaoh of the exodus, and
he undertakes to reconcile it with'
the inscription by the assumption
that "there were Israelites and
Israelites." That is to say, only
a p3rt or the Israelites went
down into Egypt in Joseph's
time; rest remained in Palestine.
He shares the view recently pres
valent that there were traces of
the Israelites in Palestine before
the arrival of the fugitives from
Egypt, and he deems this view
strengthened by the inscription
just discovered. He thinks that
only on this assumption can we
accouut for the silence of the
book of Judges concerning the
repeated invasions of Palestine
by the Egyptians during the
reins of Merenptah and of his
successor, Rameses "III. ; inva
sions which covered a period of
somewhat more than 40 years
and then abruptly ceased.
On the whole, then, Prof.. Re
tries adheres to the generally
received ' opinion that Rameses
II., during his long term of 66
years, was the great oppressor
of : the Israelite sojourners in
Goshen, and that it was his son,
Merenptah, .who, after bearing
successive plagues with a pride
and endurance that seemed in
vincible, eventually consented to
let the children of Israel depart.
It is admitted,' however, that the
mention,1 in the lately discovered
inscription, of the Israelites as
residing in or near Galilee, is
not the only .'difficulty; to be sur
mounted by the advocates of the
popular, theory. There, has as
yet been discovered in inscrip-
ims uo trace ux tuts &iuguum oi
Merenptah being weakened by
the troubles of the exodus. It is
also certain that this King was
not drowned in the Red bea.
There is no sign of disruption
shown in a report by an official
on the eastern frontier, a report
written about 1200 B. C or
three years later : than the - in scription
of which we have been
speaking. The official says that
he has received tribes from Edom
and passed them into Egypt in
order to settle them at Lake Of
Pithom, in the land of Succoth,
where they will colonize and pas
ture their herds. , It is obvious,
as Prof. Petrie admits, -that, had
great trouble with a Semitic race
just passed over, it would not be
likely that a fresh tribe from the
East would be welcomed, y As
matter "of fact, .the Edomites
seem tcA. have .beerA welcome as
useful allies",! therefore, no set!
ous difficulty with the Hebrews
can have ; been in view in the
eighth year of "Merenptah. . "'Of

The Quaker Bridge Question-
Ed. Argus: My attention has
been called to a communication
in the issue of the 11th. signed
"A Tax Payer," and headed
"The Quaker Bridge." The tax
payer, whoever he is, is evi
dently an adyocate of the Toler
bridge, and thinks that
if he could get the Board of Com
missioners to discontinue the
Quaker Bridge, then they could
be indnced to adopt the Toler
bridge.
Now, I have nothing to say
against the commissioners tak
ing the Toler bridge as the
property of the county and
keeping it up with county funds,
if they should think best to do
so. But I do protest against al
lowing the Quaker bridge to go
down. In fact, the County Com
missioners haye no moral right.
if even a legal riht,todo so. Ins
dividuals contributed to the
building of that bridge and the
commissioners - received and
made it a county bridge and now
to allow it to e:o down would be
treating those who contributed
shabbily indeed. Asto"Tax Pay-
's" statement that Mr. Porter
says he worked on the bridge
three days and only one person
crossed the bridge in that time.
That is very natural. Men don't
generally cross" bridges while
they are torn up for repairs.
with planks nailed across ach
end of the bridge and discontin
ued notices stuck up at public
places. Amid all .that, several
were cautioned every hour or
two who were going that way,
that the " bridge was under re
pairs, yet they would hitch their
horses and walk across.
Let Mr. Porter or "tax payer"
go to the bridge when it is pasr
sable and see if there is an hour
in the day that some one does
not pass. "Tax Payer" if he is
acquainted with the three bridges
across Neuse, the Quaker, the
Cox and the Toler, well knows
that crossing continues across
the Quaker long after the other
two are impassible from high
water. Mr. "Tax Payer," re
member whose toes you are
treading on some of the best
citizens the county or even the
State affords. Remember the
situation of Mr. J. B. Edgerton,
who owns laud on each side of
the river, nearly opposite the
Quaker Bridge; Dr. Kennedy,
whose lands and practice ex
tends on both sides of the river
The Quakers who have churches
on both sides of the river and
but a short distance apart via the
Quaker bridge; the Hasstings.
who gin in the neighborhood of
one hundred bales of cotton for
the people on the opposite side
of the river; the Gurleys and
Sassers about the same. Re
member the marl that is carried
across the Quaker bridge from
Mr. Perry Cox's, the corn and
wheat ground at the Jones mill.
Besides, they can purchase a
little tobacco at the mill without
asking your permission to chew
it and a thousand other advan
tages afforded - by the bridge.
Now, Mr. "Tax Payer," we do
not envy you in your high and
lofty position, surrounded by
every necassary of life, but for
humanity s sake, grant us some
of the few meagre privileges for
the taxes we poor country people
pay. - 11. xx. Uoor.
