W, E."Best, of Greene county, was in the city Saturday, and reports the farmers of his section busy. There was considerable cots ton for sale on this market to- day. The price of the fleecy stas pie is lookiDg up. The court-yard with its nicely laid off walks and unbroken covering of green grass presents a beautiful and Spring like ap pearence. The English sparrows? that abound throughout our city, are busy these days building nests another unfailiog indication of the approach of Spring. A 6ung man, converted in Mr. Moody's meeting in London, left his job at the theater, because he said a Christian had no business in a theater. A friend upbraided him for thus endangering the lomfort of his wife and children, He replied;"Can I not trust the Lord to pay eighteen shillings a week?" The very next day he was offered and accepted a res pectable position at twenty shiU lings. Mr. R. A. Creech, the pro prietor of the elegant jewelry es tablishment on West Centre street, opposite the Hotel Kennon, was among the first persons in this city to adopt the use of the bicycle, and has been for years a constant rider of the celebrated "Victor" and "Crescent" makes. He is now the sole agent for Wayne county of these splendid wheels and they can be seen at any time at bis place of business. Within the past twelve months Mr. Ed. L. Edmundson, the real estate broker, hai consummated twenty-one extensive real estate deals in our midst. Friday he closecLa sale to Mr. A. J. Harrell of sixteen town lots on Denmark street, over on the hills of Eastern Goldsboro. This shows that not only has Mr. Edmundson been rightly named "The Hustler" by the Argus, but also that Golds boro is pushing steadily forward. Mr. Edmundson is himself pos sessed of valuable real estate that he has acquired by his energy and fine business capacity, and is both reliable and responsible for all business entrusted to his manage ment. He has tact and experi ence, and persons desiring to buy or sell will find in him a valuable .man for furthering their tions. Absolutely Pure.

Many a man has missed some of his richest blessings because when he asked for them he fail ed to believe Gcd would grant his prayer. There are thousands who be lieve God can and will save their souls who don't believe He -will save their property or pieserve their body. Why so many Christians fail to secure a fullness of blessings when all things are at their dis posal for the asking, is an un solvable mystery. Private Secretary Alexander and Senator Hyatt Come to Blows. Wilmington Star. Raleigh, N. C, Feb. 23 In! the House to-day the bill to amend the charter of Wilmington came up, providing that the peo pie of each ward shall elect an alderman and the Governor to appoint one for each ward; and that the aldermen shall elect the mayor. ; Sutton, of New Hanover, sid there was nothing objectionable in the bill to any man; that he had scores of letters from citi zens ask'ng that the bill pass. Ward wanted the part, explain ed as to tne appointment of aldermen by the Governor. Sutton, said as the city was now divided It was- imDossible to elect a Republican board of aldermen; that Republicans were in the majority, and that no alderman would be- appointed who was objectionable to the majority of Republicans atd opuhsts. Walteis asked Democrats to vote for this bill, though it was absolutely undemocratic, un re publican Hud unpopulistic: that it made the Governor absolute Czar of Wilmington and that he was willing to put the control of the city of Wilmington in Gov' ernor Russell's hands for the next four years. He said he thought it better to support this bill than to risk a bill which gave control of the city to the propertyless. Hancock said the Governor did not make the appointments, but that Republicans would send mm tne names. St, James says: "Ye have not, because ye ask not." When a man's prayers are answered he can make up mind it is his own fault, and God's. not his not God has never repudiated a promise since the day of crea tion. Many people fail to recognize the answer Gcd sends to their prayers because He doesn't send hem in some extraordinary way. - God always uses the simplest way to answer every prayer. He does nothing for show. It, is written: "Ye ask, and re ceive not, because ye ask amiss, tnat ye may consume it upon your lusts. An old negro by the name of Quinnie Dunn, in Greene county grew tired of evading the strong arm of the law, whichhe had done successfully for the past three years, and created quite a sensa tion in the little county seat of Snow Hill Monday morning by walking boldly up to the Court house and, delivering himself to the Sheriff, just as the present term of the Superior Court was about to convene. About tbree yearsj ago be drew a pistol from his pocket and killed a colored boy in his employ, who had spok en in a di-raspectful manner when ordered to do ,;ome work. Dunn is a very industrious old darkey and by frugality and economy had accumulated con siderable wealth and when he . came in town Monday morning his bond of $2,000 was subscribe ed for in less time than it took to write it out, and he was once more at liberty to assume the l te of a civilian. Daily Argus of Feb. 24. A quiet but pretty home wed ding occurred to-day at 12:30 o'clock at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Erastus Edwards in this city, when their beautiful and ac complished daughter Mjss Mary, was married to Mr. Oscar L Thompson, Rev. F. W. Farries performing the ceremony. The bridal, attendants were Air. John M. Thompson and Miss Lula Ed wards, 'Mr. W. M. Smith and Miss Bettie Thompson. At the reception last night at the home of the bride's parents were assembled a number of relatives and friends, and there was displayed a galaxy of beautiful and valuable brida. presents that bore the names of hosts of friends who wish for the happy couple happiness and pros perily always. J. he bride and greom left -to-day on. the 1:30 train for their future home in Burke, S. C, where the gallant groom has been . prentably em ployed as a mechanic for severa months past.

Walters said after this he was compelled to vote atrainst the bill. Debate was cut off. Duffy, in explaining his vote, said Sutton's action in calling the previous question was not only cowardly but was against the professed principles of the Republicans, Parker, of Wayne, said "local self government" was the slogan of the Republican and Populists in the last campaign, but that this bill overturned all this. He said Sutton had given the sole reason for the bill, "pie," that is, to turn out Democrats and put in Republicans. button, of Cumberland, said Goy. Russell was not the author or promoter of the bill; that the Governor had so told him. Sutton, of New Haaover, said it was too late to redistrict the wards of Wilmington, and that this was the only way to keep the Democrats from controlling the city for two years. Young said the maionty of the people were determined to rule the State; that the 100,000 negro voters demanded that they be given equal rights in the holding of elections. He said there was no anion of negroes and the whites. Spruill said he was elected, on Republican doctrines and there fore voted no.

Bryan, of Chatham, spoke fiercely against the appropria tion. He was put under cross fire. Lusk said he was always on the opposite side from Bryan be. cause he then felt sure he was right. Bryan raised a great laugh by crying out, "How were you on the Senatorial election?" Lusk retorted by saying, "Where were you, were you with me?" "No, you were with me," said Bryan. Lusk then asked Bryan where his party was on this question, it it had not tabooed and kicked him out of its caucus. This caused a big laugh at Bryan's expense, Lusk scored Bryan for trying to sneak through the antUappro priation bill two years ago. Bryan denied this, but McKenzie and several others confirmed Lusk's statement. Bryan- de manded the yeas and nays. Lusk said. "We are all proud to go on recoid."

Private Secretary to the Governor, - and Senator Hyatt, of Yancey, had a pers aona1 collision on the floor of the Senate this morning in one of the lobby rooms. Several wit nesses state tne riyatt strucK Alexander several blows and denounced him for trying to olfer him a hribe. Senator Hyatt makes the following statement of the affair: "Alexander came to me this morning and began talk- iig to me about the lease ques tion. We had quite a little frmndly talk, lasting a quarter of an hour, and Alexander at tempted to persuade me to vote to annul the lease. 1 explained to him my position by stating that bad received several petitions from my people asking . me to use my influence in favor of the ease, and that as their repre sentative 1 would do as they desired. Alexander then said the Governor was going to take care of his friends, and asked me if I would accept a position if offer ed me 1 told him that, all things considered, I would do so with pleasure, if it as offered in the SI 1 .1 proper manner, iuexanaer tnen left me, and appeared in a good humor In about half an hour he return d to the Senate chamber, and beckoned to me. I left my seat and went to him, , and we walked into one of the rooms in the Senate chamber. On arriv ing there Alexander turnel to me and sau ,that if I would stand by the Governor in the lease question that Governor Russell would appoint me secretary to the Board of Argriculture at a salary of $1,500. As he said this grabbed him by the lapel of the oat with my left hand and struck him on the neck with my right hand, and followed up the blow with several on the chest and shoulders, and told him he was a dirty, contemptible coward to mane me such a proposition and, that I looked upon it as an ins amous insult. 1 was so mad that I would have hurt him badly but for the fact that the Assistant Sergeantat-Arms and Repre sentative Aiken grabbed me and came between us. They asked me what was the matter and I told them that the d d coward had tried to bribe me by offering me a position in the Agricultural Department for my vote on the railroad lease question, l con sidered this offer as a bribe of the lowest order and I resented the insult by striking the cur who made it. 1 consider my honor as a man dearer to me tnan any position the Governor or, his allies can offer me. I denounce the act as a piece of cowardly business and in resenting the inn suit I have done what any ,true North Carolinia citizen would have done. I will rise to-day before the Senate and refer to the matter as a personal privilege and will see if the Governor can offer bribes to members of the Assembly with impunity. I do not come from a district where such acts would be tolerated. ' Secretary Alexander made the following statement of the at fair: "I was speaking to Hyatt about the lease Mil and urging him to vote for the original bill I said it is claimed that Federal patronage is being used to defeat tbe lease bill, it is claimed tnat no man who votes for the bil will be recognized in the distrib ution of Federal patronage. This was the statement I intended to refute when I spoke to - Hyatt and said that the Governor was as able to take care of his friends as the Southern Railway was to take care of theirs', whereupon TAETELE5B MOLL TOM and seemingly to attract atten tion, that I was trying to bribe him. I said it was a lie. that he id not understand or want to understand what I sa'd. He at temptedlo strike me and jumped out ki the crowd and said I want- d to bribe him, to which I reit erated the 'lie.' His friends took him away and there was no fur ther colloquy or controversy. I offered him no position nor prom ised to use my influence for him in any manner, shape or form." I he affair is one of the sensations of the Legislature. Ihe special committee ap pointed on the memorial of the president and direciors of the North Carolina Railroad made a report exonerating them of any suspicion or intimatiou of wrong doing. Senator Grant sent for ward his compromise bi'l, pro- lding for the lease of the North Carolina road for a term of thir ty six years as tbe majority re, port. After a short adjournment the Senate reconvened and Grant's substitute was adopted by a vote 2b to 24. The bill, as amended then passed second and third readings and goes to the House for ratification. Can You Beat It? I Don't Think So.

In the House of Lords today the Marn uis of Salisbury, replying to a question from Lord Durayen, said that as the best means of placing the House in possession of the facts of the moment as re gards Crete, he would read a tel egram sent yesterday evening to the British Ambassadors to the courts of the great powers. It read as follows: "Inform the government tr to which you are accredited that her Majesty's government pur poses to make the following de claration of the policy which they intend to pursue, and which they believe is in accordance with the views of tneir allies: Firstly, the establishment of an administrative autonomy in Crete as a necessary condition for the termination of the inter national occupation. Secondly, that subject to the above conditions. Crete ought. n their ludgment, to remain a portion of the Turkish Empire. Thirdly, that tbe Turks and Greeks should be informed by tbe powers of this resolution. Fourthly, H 1 umey or Ureece should, when required, persist ently refuse to withdraw their military and naval iorces from the island, the powers should impose their decision by force uoon the-state so refusing. The Premier caned especial attention to the words ' when required," adding that it did not mean in the case ot l urKey tnat her troops should be withdrawn immediately. Ou the other hand he explained, the withdrawal of the Turkish troops was a neces sary condition of autonomy Therefore, they would have to withdraw, except so far as they had- been kept in the cases of the Island of Samoa and fcservia, sm- dIv as indication of sovereignty For all effective purposes and in respect of all influences upon the government and daily life of the inhabitants, tne i nrKisn troops would evidently : haye , to be withdrawn when , autonomy - was established.
