A Democratic Newspaper. GOLDSBORO, N. C. FEB. 2 1897 Entered at the Post Office atGolc boro, N. C as Second-Class Matter. SUBSCRIPTION PRICK: In Advance Weekly Arous, one year PERILS OF JOURNALISM The excitement and variety of journalism render the profession fascinating. Few persons who become members of the fourth estate ever desert it unless they be forced out through their fail ure to keep step in the ever moving procession, which, by the way, goes forward at a ra pid pace. But journalism is not without its perils. To- be so, would be" to detract from it much of the excitement it possesses. The same is true of almost every exciting and fascinating occupa tion. It is especially true of ac tive newspaper work. Never was this better illustrated than in the story of the death of Messrs. Harrison H. Hester and F. B DeBlesine, reporters of the New Orleans Picayune, who now till watery graves at the bottom of the Mississippi river. The river and Harbors Com mittee of the House of Repre sentatives went down the Mis sissippi from New Orleans last Wednesday night preparatory to an inspection of the jetties. There was no room aboard their boat for representatives of the press. The Picayune chartered a yacht for the accommodation of two of its reporters. Boarding the craft shortly after midnight, ired after their day's work, the two newspaper men soon fell asleep. On their way a steamer ran down and sunk the yacht. The crew was saved but the two journalists were lost. These men were martyrs to their duty. Regardless of the dangers surrounding the voyage in a small yacht on a dark night dcwn a big river alive with large craft, they had goue in search of news. As they slumbered the dread messenger of death came and they responded. The story as told by the New Orleans papers is a pathetic one It must impress the uninitiated with the perils of daily journal ism. The dangerous undertake ings which ntwspaper men shoulder and the narrow escapes which they sometimes encounter are often related in print. If all such adventures could be pub lished an interesting book indeed they would make. It's only when they meet with a dire disaster such as befell the two New Or leans reporters that the world is impressed with the risks which news-gathers take in order to keep the public posted on events of the hour. Mb. John "A. Roman, repre. sentative of the Military Order Department of the great firm of Jacob Reed's Sons, Philadelphia, spent Sunday in this city, and went South yesterday. Mr. Ro man is perhaps the best and most favorably known man in his lint in the United States. He is himself a practical tailor . The splendid uni forms of the Sousa band were made by the Reeds, the measures being taken by Mr. Roman and uniform made under his own supervision. He was pleased with his visst to Goldsboro. He was greatly sur prised at the beauty of Willow Dale Cemetery, and deeply im pressed when he read on the Con federate monument 'Eight Hun dred are Buried Here, " and "A generous foe aided in the erection of the monument." An old Union soldier himself, he knows full well of the brave deeds of the boys in gray, and admires, as do all the unprejudiced of the world, the heroism of the Sons of the "South. Pikeville Letter. Dear Argus Mr. Sam Hin nant returned home Sunday from a brief visit to friends in the coun try. Sheriff B. F. Scott was in town a short while Sunday, where his numerous friends are always glad to greet him. . The condition of Elder J. T. Edgerton, " whom we reported seriously ill last week, is said to be a little better at this writing. - Miss Mollie Aycock, one oi Fremont's most charming and popular young ladies, was in town Sunday, on a visit to relatives. ., Capt, J. B. Edgerton, of your city, came up Sunday, in co se quence of the illness of his brothei Elder J. T. Etteerton. Miss Dora Evans, who has been quife sick for some days, is con valescing, we are glad to learn. Mr. S. F. Worrell and bis annd ladv. returned home Sunday afternoon from a pleasant visit to friends in the country. Bv the war. what has become of "Bee," the interesting co; respondent of the Argus? Has she exhausted all the sweetness of Fremont's flowers, or has the re cent cold snap caused her to go into the hive to spend the re mainder of the wintei'? J. F. II . pjkcville, Feb. 2, '97. Fremont Letter. Mr. Editor: Fremont has no intention of being "left," so the combined wave of LaGrippc and matrimcny are sweeping over us. There is sickness in every house; not serious fatal sickness, but nagging, harrassing, quern lous, aching, ill natured sickness that takes all the brightness out ot the present and cuts off all hope of the future. Such is the -form the epidemic takes with us. one of them, we mean. The other furnishes, and adorns with many a mark of af fection, the home to which the bride is to be broughi; hangs pictures, lavs carpets, sets out the array of china, has the pret nest easy chair in a co&y corner, draws down the soft folds of lace curtains, lights the lamps, warms up the apartments and brings in the bride in spite of snow and slee. " But the diviuity who is to pre ment is not so easily cheated into Jury at next term ot court believing January is June, and action ot Judge Kobinson so doeS not make her appear ance until a more convenient season. Still suppers must be had aad so a great frolic ensue, the get ting of supper on the first even ing of house keeping. It is fimsbei at lasc and my lord declares it is fit for a king. Would he know the difference. think you, if not a thing was fit to eat? Somebody has been calculating what a good harvest there, will be for the preacher who ties a knet every week, with a good rouud fee each time. It is esti mated that his "parquisites," al though contingent on the gener osity or the ability of the parties served, will. amount to something, unless the epidemic abates. Bee. Commissioners' Court. News and Observer; State Auditor Ayer has written a: let ter to Lieut. Uovernor tteynoias and Speaker Hileman, calling their attention to the importance of carefully inspecting ail orders for per diem for members and employes before signing them. He points out in this letter sev sral instances in which orders bearing their names haye come to him, which were incorrect and for money that should uot have been paid. Henderson Gold Leaf : The applications for mandamus to com pel the County Commissioners to issue license to sell liquor, were heard before Judge W. S. O'B, Robinson here last Saturday. His Honor decided, after, hearing the counsel for the applicants, that he could not require the Commission ers to issue license until the issues of fact raised by the answers of the Board should be tried by a This would seem to set t rest the idea that the Commissioners were not act ing strictly in accord with the law or that any technicalities were re sorted to to keep from issuing li cense. The liquor men after piv ing notice of appeal withdrew their suits, and will amend their applications and present them in due form at the next meetirg of j the Board, February 1st. Fertilizers !
