Oub young friend Mr. Clayton
Outlaw, who has been visiting his
parents and home in this city,
after an absence of two years, has
returned to Salisbury, where he
is engaged in business for him
self. "We are glad to know that
he is prospering. He deserves
success.
The indications are bright all
along the line, and N growing
brighter, that Goldsboro will have
an immense tobacco trade next
season. The farmers everywhere
throughout this section, for 50
miles around, are realizing by
comparison of returns that Golds
boro led the State as the best to
bacco market last season, and
they are coming here with their
golden leaf next season. We
should be ready for the rush.
Our business men should see to
it that Goldsboro has more prize
houses and at once.
The death of Elder J. T. Edg
erton, of Pikeville, whose critical
illness was referred to in Fri
day's Abgus, occurred Saturday
at 7 o'clock. He was a Godly
man, greatly beloved by all who
knew him, and his death will be
-sincerely mourned, not only in
his own community, but through
out his widespread, acquaintance.
To his bereaved family the Abgus
extends its sincerest condolence.
The funeral was held from his
late Jhome in Pikeville Sunday
afternoon at 1 o'clock, and the
interment was made in the
Benjamin Aycock family burying
ground, about two miles distant.
Accidents happen all through
life and some are of a very se
rious nature, but the sad mishap
that befell the little 4-year-old
son of Mr. Harris Richardson on
last Wednesday is the most ap
palling and heart rending of the
saddest. Mr. Richardson lives
near Fremont and hauls pine logs
to. a saw mill. On the.day men
tioned he had his little son with
him on the large log carriage as
he was making a return trip with
a heavy load. A sudden jar of
the cart in running over a root
caused the child to fall to the
ground with his head in the rut
just in front of the large wheel
that was grinding the earth un
der its broad tire and weighty
load. - Before the team could be
stopped the top part of the head
from just over the ear, reaching
around the forehead, was severed
from the body and mashed flat.
,The father was alone and had to
gather up the" remains and carry
them home and place the dead
child in its mother's arms.

through the
TARIFF LESSON.
The market price of wheat has
declined nearly twenty cents a
bushel since the election of Mc
Kinley to the Presidency. If
wheat had advanced in price, the
farmers would now be told by the
political organs and orators that
the farmers were reaping the be
neficent fruits of promised pro
tection, but as the price has
steadily declined for several
months, and as the decline has
been heaviest since
of the new tariff bill
House, proposing largely increas
ed mock duties on agricultural
products which we do not im
port, they are silent.
It is quite time that the farm
ers of the country should under
stand that the tariff has no more
to do with the price of wheat than
the rise and ' fall of the- tide.
Wheat commands a high price
when the production is not equal
to the demand, and it commands
a low price when there are good
crops- throughout the wheat
growing world. These variations
m the price of wheat are not af
fected in the slightest degree by
a high or low tariff, and if all ag
ricultural products were admitted
ree the farmers would not suffer
to the extent of
with all our
products we practically buy none
of other countries, while selling
argely to them.

There has been a spirited con
test among the younger bicycle
riders of the city for the bicycle
lamp pnz'3 offered by Messrs.
Smith & Yelverton, through the
columns of The Argus, for the
best written advertisement set-

' The contest was restricted to
riders of the 'Eagle" under 17
years of acre, and the editor has
had a "real interesting" time of
it reading and re-reading the
various advertisements sent in;
and while we would be glad to
award every one of them a prize.
we bave but, one to award.
The winning advertisement
appears in this issue of the
Argcs, in form and wording
just as it was seat in, ana is by
Miss Mary Scott Munroe.
Little MUses Hannah Dewey
and Kosaline "smith deserve es
pecial mention for the merit of
tbeir advertisements.
We deem it due Masters Hardy
Robinson and Fred Swindell to
sav that -they would have been
a
great
farthing,-
as
agricultural
During last summer and .fall
the failure of the "wheat crop in
several of the wheat producing
sections of the old world caused
an extraordinary demand for the
surplus wheat m this country,
and the price advanced until it
reached nearly double the lowest
figure at wlrich it sold during the
year. It was solely caused by
the inexorable law of supply and
demand. .
gn countries weie short
in wheat and needed it for bread,
while this country had a large
surplus crop and it commanded a
much higher price because there
was not the usual competition
from foreign countries. The ex
traordinary demand abroad has
been supplied and wheat has fallen
in price, even with increased tariff
duties""fh sight, solely because
the supply is now more -nearly
equal to the demand than it was
six months ago.
The agricultural interests are
the backbone of the industries of
this countrv. When they are
prosperous the country must nec
essarily be prosperous; when they
are not prosperous the country
must suffer in svmpathy with
them, and there is no wilder a de
lusion than that the price of
wheat can be regulated either up
or down by tariff legislation. The
only possible effect that tariff
laws could have upon the farmer
would be by excessive tariff duties
imposed by this government upon
the products of other govern
ments, and thus1 cause retaliatory
taxes upon the products of our
fields.
In other words, the farmer has
evervthing to lose bv high tariff
duties which tax .the farmers
more than any other particular
class, while he has everything to
gain by modrae tariff duties which
give equal opportunity to all
classes and conditions without
overtaxing any. The lesson of
to-day must be most conclusive
with all intelligent farmers that
there can be no increase in the
market price of agricultural, pro
ducts by legislation at Washing
ton.
COLLEGE'S $540,000 MISSING I
Funds of tlie University of Hli
nois Can't Be Found.
Chicago, April 9. Endowment
bonds to the value of $100,000
belonging to the University, of
Illinois are missing. '1 hey were
intrusted to C. W. Spalding,
President of the Globe Savings
Bank, which closed on lasf Mon
day, Mr. Spalding was Treas
urer of the University, and held
over $110,000 in cash and $100,
000 in endowmert bonds.
A secret session of the trustees
of the university was held yester-J
dy at the Sherman House. This
session was called to hear the re
port of a sub committee appointed
yesterday to communicate with
Mr. Spalding and secure some
definite information as to the cash
funds intrusteu to him as Treas
urer of the board, and to obtain
assurance, if possible, that then
dowment bonds given into his keep
ing are safe.
The trustees remained in ses
sion for nearly three houi s. It
is learned from an authoritative
source that the situation is most
serious for the University . Mr.
Spalding could not be found.
President F. M. McKay of the
Board of Trustees admitted that
the board is absolutely in the dark
so far as the $100,000 endowment
bonds are concerned. Of this
amount $200,000 worth of bonds
arejsaid to be negotiable, while
he remainder are stamped in such
a manner as to make it next to
impossibl.3 to hypothecate them.
The only information that could
be gleaned from the trustees after
the rneeting to-day was the assur
ance that not all of the $140,000
cash funds was in the hands of
Mr, Spalding when the Globe
Saving Bank faile or is involved
in the failure.
A special meeting of the uni
versity trustees will be held on
next Tuesday. Rumors have
reached the ears of the trustees
that Mr. Spalding's personal bond
is practically worthless. He is
under a bond of $600,000,but in
quiries made at mercantile agencies
do not lift the clouds. Mr. Spald
ing was appointed Treasurer of
the Board of Trustees at the'
solicitation of ex-Gov. Altgeld
soon after the latter was elected.

Greenville, Miss., April 9.
Eyery day now brings some tale
of woe from the overflowed
region.
When the levee at Mound Land
ing broke, a family of a mother
and s'x children were overtaken
by the waters, and before they
cou'd reach a place of safety four
of the children were caught by the
furiously rushing current, and
washed away almost in the twinkl
ing of a eye. Who these people
were was not learned in the con
fusion of the -night . It is bel'eved
the mother and the other two
children were taken care of.
The railroad bridges across the
m?.in streams in the county are go
ing fast. An iron bridge across
the Bogue on the Valley route was
washed away yesterday. There
were some hundred and fifty cattle
and horses upon it at the time.
The Southern bridges on the Bogue
have also been washed away. '
The Yazoo river is running up
stream from its mouth nearly to
Greenwood, on account of high
stage of water at Yicksburg. Here
to day the river is stationary.
The river report just received
tosday is anything but encourging,
and there is but little hope of
relief from the present condition
for five weeks at least.
Little Rock. Ark., April 9.
Governor Jones to-day received
a letter from people at Island
Seventy-three, White river, in
which it is said that the people
are in imminent danger of per
ishing. The inhabitants are on
house tops, on rafts and all man
ner of . floats and are. entirely
without food. There are said to
be thirly-five families around
the island, and the letter states
that unless they receive imme
diate succor they will certainly
die. One family near the island
has just lost six children in -the
flood. Another letter from L. U
Blackburn, inspector of Laconia
tevee district, gives a graphic
description of the sufferings of
the victims of the flood' in that
district and urges.-the govern
ment to help render them assist
ance. At Dawson's lauding 125
people are destitute, .40 at Ave
new. 50 or 60 at Ferguson land
ing, 150 at'Minor Knowlton, 150
at Henrico and 200 at Laconia.
The appeals were referred to the
relief committee.
Love in the Scale.
" How much does the baby
weigh" is only another way
of asking-, "Is he healthy and
strong?" When a baby is
welcomed into the world with
loving- care and forethought,
his chances of health and
strength are increased a hundred-fold.
A prospective mother cannot begirt too
early to look after her own health and phys
ical condition. This is sure to be reflected
in the baby. Any weakness or nervous de
pression, or lack of vigor on the mother's
part should be overcome early during the
expectant time by the use of Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription, which promotes the
perfect health and strength of the organism
specially concerned in motherhood.
It makes the coming of baby absolutely
safe and comparatively free from pain ; ren
ders the mother strong and cheerful, and
transmits healthy constitutional vigor to
the child.
No other medicine in the world has been
such an unqualified blessing to mothers and
their children. It is the one positive spe
cific for all weak and diseased conditions
of the feminine organism. It is the only
medicine of its kind devised for this one
purpose by a trained and educated special
ist in this particular field.
Mrs. F. B. Cannings, of No. 4320 Humphrey St.,
St. I,ouis, Mo., writes : " I am now a happy
mother of a fine, healthy baby ffirl. Feel that
your ' Favorite Prescription ' and little 'Pellets'
nave done tne more good than anything I have
ever taken. Three months previous to my con
finement I began using your medicine. I took
three bottles of the ' Prescription. Conse
quences were I was onlv in labor forty-five min
utes. With my first baby I suffered 18 hours,
then had to lose him. He was very delicate and
Only lived 12 hours". For two years I suffered
untold agony, and had two miscarriages. The
'Favorite Prescription ' saved both my child and
myself. My baby is not 3ret three weeks old and
I do not think I ver felt better in my life."

AKE YOU LITERARY?
Perhaps You Would Enjoy a Few
Moments With and a Few
Facts about Longfellow.
The study of authors, their
writings and personalities, is aN
ways more or less interesting
and instructive. But perhaps the
most geuerally read and beloved
author is our own great Ameri
can poet Longfell w.
As a poet Longfellow is char
acterized by tenderness and depth
of feeling, to the expression of
which the picturesque and grace
ful simplicity of his language
often imparts an iadescribable
charm. His poetry appeals to
those sentiments common to all
mankind, to persons of ever
rank and of every clime.
The poet was twice married,
and '"Hyperion." according to a
pleasing legend, was written to
win the heart of her who became
his secoud wife. Her death, as
many know, was pathetic. She
had been diverting her children
by making figures on the floor
with melting sealing-wax, when
her dress took fire, and she was
fatally injured by the flames. It
is said that a week after the event
the puet appeared on" the streets
so changed as to excite the sur
prise as well as the pity f his
friends. Age seemed to have
cone on in a day. Many years
afterward, in rtftrence to this
event, he wrote the "Cross in
the Snow." He used to take a
few choice friends into the room
where her portrait hung, and
turn aside to weep, saying: "That
was my dear wife."

of style passes for ailiuemce ot

Longfellow used to tell a very
amusing story of a man, a per"
feet stranger, who once rushed
up to him somewhere and de
manded the privilege 01 shaliing
his hand, with this inviting an
nouncement : "Mr. Longfellow,
sir, I am one of the few men who
ever read your 'Hiawatha' all
through!"
I think nothing impressed me
more in Longfellow than his un
forced and genial toleration of
differences of opinion. Yet I
have h?ard men say in the States
that he was not tolerant except
where literature and art were
concerned. Justin McCarthy in

the Greeks were irregular troops

this is the case it may result in
open hostilities between the two

fighting was proceeding vigor

regular troops among the
Greeks, fighting along the whole

ANOTHER OBJECT LESSON
Hie Pupils of tbe Sixth Grade of Our
Graded School Visit It and Write
About It.
Some weeks ago Superintendent
Foust, vvho is ever active and al
ways sagacious in . his efforts to
give the children of our City
Schools practical education, took
the pupils of the Sixth Grade on
a visit of inspection to the cotton
mills, and had them afterwards to
write an account of what they
saw.
There are some forty in the
elass, and every one wrqte an ac
count of his or -her trip. It was
a tedious task to make a selection
from among so many for publica
tion, but after a careful review,
we have selected the two below as
probably the best :
When our grade made a visit to
the Cotton Mills, the Superinten
dent was kind enough to take us
around and show us the machinery
which they used. As he ex
plained the work of each machine,
and told its name, we gained much
useful information.
First we were taken to a ma
chine called the opener. This is
used for tearing to pieces the cot
ton. -
From the opener the cotton is
carried to the second floor by
means of air and put into the lap
per. The lapper canies" on the
same process - as the opener, and
also puts the cotton on Jarge
wpoden rolls, and prepares, it for
handling.
The next machine, which is
called the carder, is a very inter
csting one. ly means of it the
cotton is carded and put into a
round shape about the size of one's
wrist .
The draft, or stretcher, carries
on the same process of stretching
the cotton as the carder. When the
cotton comes out of the draft, the
rolls are about the size of a child's
thumb. It is then -put into a ma
chine called the slubber, which
makes it still smaller and begins
to twist it" a little . Our attention
was then called to the speeder, so
called because it runs so fast.
While in it the cotton becomes
much tighter, and when we next
saw it, ifc- was on spools. The
spinner is uscd'to make the cotton
into thread. After the cotton is
spun into thread, it is put on dif
ferent ppools by a machine called
the spooler. Before the threads
are made into cloth, they have to
be starcned so as to make the cloth
smoother. After leaving the
spooler, it is put into the warping
machine, and then into the slasher,
or starcher, to be starched.
After the threads are starched,
they are ready for making cloth,
so they are put into the loom.
When the threads are finished,
there are two kinds. One kind is
twisted hard for the warp, and
the other, which is somewhat looser,
is used for the filling.
When the cloth leaves the loom,
I suppose most of the people
would think it finished, but it is
not. It has to be carried to the
finishing machine, which gets all
the wrinkles out, and then it is
carried to the folding machine to
be folded. Next it is stamped,
and then bailed, which is the last
process it has to go through .
W e learned that our cotton has
to go through sixteen different
machines before made ready for
sale. -
The Superintendent made him
self so agreeable and explained
everything so plainly that our les
son at the Cotton Mills proved a
very interesting one as well as in
structive.
Walter Dakdex.
On Wednesdav, March 10 th,
our class of boys were taken to
the Cotton Mill by our Superin
tendent J. I. Foust and our teacher
Miss Ada Blair. .
When we arrived at the mill
Mr. Smith, the Superintendent.
carried us through and explained

- The first machine we-saw was
the opener, where the raw cbtton
is oin to pieces and the trash and
knots are taken out.
From the opener the cotton is
carried to the lapper, which is on
the second floor, by means of
suction.
In the lapper. tne- cotton is

comes out of this in sheets. .
The third machine is the card-

WARNING.
We wish to caution abusers of Simmons
Liver Regulator on a subject of the deepest
interest and importance to th'eir health
perhaps their lives. The sole proprietors
and makers of Simmons Liver Kegulalor
learn that customers are often deceived by
buying and taking some medicine of a
similar appearance or taste, believing it to
be Simmons Liver Regulator We warn -you
that unless the word Regulator is on .
the package or bottle; that it is not Simmons
Liver Regulator. No one else makes, or
ever has made Simmons Liver Regulator, or "
anything cilled Simmons Liver Regulator,
but J. H. Zeilin & Co., and no medicine made
by anyone else is the same. We alone can
put it up7 and we cannot be responsible, if
other medicines represented as the same do
not help you as you are led to expect they
will.C Bear this fact well in mind, if you have
been in the habit of using a medicine which
you supposed to be Simmons Liver Regula
tor, because the name was somewhat like ,
it, and the package did not have the word
Regulator on it, you have been imposed -upon
and have not been taking Simmons
Liver Regulator at all. "3 The Regulator has
been favorably known for many years, and
all who use it know how necessary it is for
Fever and Ague, Bilious Fever, Constipa-
tion, Headache, Dyspepsia, and all disorders
arising from a Diseased .Liver.
We ask you to look for yourselves, and '
see that Simmons Liver Regulator, which
you can readily distinguish by the Red Z
on wrapper, and by our name, is the only
medicine called Simmons Liver Regulator.

er, which stretches the cotton
and makes it ' round, something
like a rope. One .yard of cotton
as it comes from the lapper makes
one hundred yards' after it is
carded.
After the-carder it is taken to
the stretcher and twisted a little
so as to hold it together.
The fifth machine is the slub
ber. In the slubber the cotton
is twisted more firmly, fto
make it stronger aud smaller,
more like thread. It takes six
strands as it comes from the
stretcher to make one strand. as
it comes from the slubber.
After the slubber it is taken to
the speeder, where the thread as
it comes from the - slubber is
twisted very loosely and made
smaller. After the thread comes
from the speeder it, is put on
spools for . the first time.
The spinner, Avhich is the next
machine, makes the cotton into
hard and strong thread and also
makes some thread strongei; than
it does some "others. The strong
er is called the warp, which in
weaving the cloth is run length
wise, while the other, which is the
fillinc.is run crosswise.
The next machine is the spool
er, which puts the thread on very
arge spools.
From the spooler it is put on
the warper where the large spools
(about 100 at a time) are put on
and wound on a large cylinder. ,
Ihe ninth is the slasher, where
is the thread is taken off of one
cylinder and wound on another, it
is starched readv for the loom.
After the slasher it is carried
to the harness,where each thread,
one by one, is put with greatest
care. 1 lie harness is a part ol
the loam.
The eleventh machine is the
loom which makes the cloth.
After the loom the cloth- is
carried to the finishing machine,
where it is dampened and the bad -
places picked out.
Alter the finishing machine it
is carried to the folding machine,
where the cloth is folded into
bolts. '
After it is folded it is stamped -
by a machine.
The last machine is the baling
machine, where the cloth is baled
ready for shipping.
