GOLiDSBORO, JST. C. THURSDAY MAY 6, 1897. NO 17 THE ARGUS. DAILY AND WEEKLY. LOCAL BRIEFS Miss Blanche Best, of Saulston, is visiting the family of Mr. J. P. Smith in this city. Large shipments of peas and strawberries are now boing made daily from this section. Mrs. W. L. Pike, of Pikeville. is i in the city on a visit to her daughter Mrs. E. B. Nelson. It was strongly intimated at the White House yesterday that the "nomination of Dr. Isaac G. Hop kins, of Atlanta, as Minister to Greece, would go to the Senate next week. The President has decided nt to interfere in the case of Joseph Dunlop, proprietor of the Chicago Dispatch who was sentenced to two years, imprisonment for send ing obscene matter through the mails. ' The: Goldsboro Steam Laundry has secured the services of an expert and experienced laundry man, and with its splendidly equipped outfit is now prepared to turn out work in short time and guarantee satisfaction. Mrs. M. P. Johnson has movs ed her cheap cash store from under the " Messenger Opera House to one of the stores on East Centre street recently fitted up by Mr. J. W. Bizzell in the Meehau building, opposite the Goldsboro Book Siore. The actions of the new direc tors and the new superintendents of the insane asylums against the? directors and superintendents now in possession have been decided by the Supreme . Court. All the judges concurred in the , opinion written by Judge Montgomery sustaining the decision of Adams. Judge The plant of the Maryland Steel Company, located at Spar rows Pon'.., will resume opera. tions in full next Monday after an idleness of three years. The work will furnish employment to over 2.000 men. The company has a large amount of work oc hand and it may be necessary to keep the plant going day and night during the Spring and early Summer. Thers have been two bicycle raffles in this city last week. The first one was drawn by Mr. Boaz Hooks, 72 being the lucky num ber, and the other was drawn by Mr. J. O. Royal with number, 65. There is still another that chances are being sold for and it is intended that the drawing shall take place to-night. There are a great many people that are hope ful, but is safe to say that a large majority will be disappointed. One of the colored prisoners in our county jail, who was serving out a brief sentence for assault and battery, filed his way out through one of the - windows some time during last week. He had been permitted to remain in the corri dor, underad vice of the physician, on the ground of illness, and some accomplice from the outside fur nished him with a file. He has not yet been retaken. His many friends will regret to learn that Mr. William Boyette, a son of the late Nathan Boyette, and a prosperous farmer residing a few miles from the city, along the A. & Is. C, Railroad, has be come insane . jus condition is peculiar, in that when reclining in bed his mind seems to be perfectly ound, but as soon as he is an up right position, or walking about, his mind at once begins to wander Mr. Boyette is well known in this community, where he has a host of . warm friends who wish him speedy recovery . At former sessions of the Board of Aldermen the matter of continuing the improvements to the Court house square was dis cussed and some memters were in favor of not making any ap propriation for the coming year The Board of County Commis sioners have expressed a willing ness to Jeiray ball tne expense and put the grounds under the purveyance of -the city. This seems io.be a reasonable proposi tion, and as the city "now has no place to entertain excursion par ties or public place for outdoor gatherings we fail to see why our city fathsrs should withdraw their support from tne improve ments that have been begun. The grounds make a much better ap '- pearance now than last spring and if the plans that Mr. H. B - Parker baa in contemplation are carried out with the help of the city we shall soon have a public gathering place that we will not ; pf ashajned of , Absolutely Pure.

The South's Part in the Grant Parade. "Dixie !" It always brings a cheer, but in the great parade in New - York Tuesday on the occasion of the dedication of the Grant mauso leum, the stirring Southern air was not cheered, but the New York Sun's word for it ''one mighty yell went up and kept up until the band ceased to play." It is noticeable that in that great pageant, in which thousands of military figures had gathered to pay homage to the great military leader of the Union army, the Confederates played as gallant and as prominent a part as any, and though but little over a quarter of a century has elapsed since the surrender was made, the men of the South, guests on this occasion. were accorded every courtesy that a united people could bestow upon the members of one great family. No strife ! No di vision ! No sectionalism ! Generals Gordon and Longslreet were there. They were as prom inently in the parade as the sur viving members of the old staff to the heroe to whose memory a fit ting tribute was paid, and when General Gordon, the commander inchief of the Confederate veter ans, feelingly placed a wreath upon the tomb of his old enemy in war, a great shout burst forth that evidenced stronger than words of eulogv, that "Old Glory" is to day the flag of a united states a united people. It was left indeed for the Southern"! military company to make the most splendid show en the occasion, and the New York papers take delight in awarding the honor. And old Virginia, the home of Lee and the scene of the greatest conflicts, was the Stat to sen! this company. I, was well that the Richmond Blues, with their white plumes erect on their helmets and streaming up into the air, their horses mowing in admirably controlled lines, should receive such a plaudit. It was their band that first played the air so dear to every Southern heart, and the favor with which it was received by che men of both armies, must be gratifying to all lovers of peace. J. A. H.

There are the strongest raa sons in the world for making the assertion that the South will at no distant day wrest the su premacy from the long-sstablph-ed Northern centres as -an iron and steel producing section. These who recall the early days of Birmingham will remember that Northern iron manufactur ers were wont to make light of the claims that the new aspirant for this branch of trade was able to munufacture iron cheaper than the North could produce it, but this delusion has beno dis pelled long since. To-day South ern iron is a potent factor in the markets of the world, and its in creased consumption has been brought about not alone from the fact that it can be sold more cheaply, but because in trinsicaU ly it is metal suited to the diver sified uses to which it has been put.

Don't monkey with the weather bu reau lever, You might get the thing out of gear, And instead of the , old-fashion sea sons . . We might have winter all the year. Often it ain't just as we want it, But we could not improve it if we vould, We cannot make a change by legis ' lation, , And injunctions wont do any good. We've got to take it just as we find Signs will show when winter-time is gone. When 'tis safe to take oft' jour flan nel And put your slippers and dusters on; When bull-bats begin to fly at even in cr And the martins begin to mate and sing, Yoh can refuse to pay past due coal bills, This is safe,, for it will soon be Spring. AVhen lightning bugs appear by the millions. And turn on their incandescent lights. When bed-bugs leave their winter quarters. And the mosquito sings all the night, When Major Bass gets his fishing tackle ' And Sam Draper goes to digging bait, And the- Aldermanic bee gets to buz zing, Spring is coming at a might- lively gait. When you find a might- lazy feeling Just creeping all up and down you back. And your knees feel real weak and trembly And your joints feel awful loose and slack, When ihat tired feeling gets hold upon you, And you feel just played out, so to speak. Symptoms show you have Spring fever, And your bitters are a long ways too weak. J. M. H. Goldsboro, N. C, April 28, '97.

Quicke, of Ottawa, Canada, arrived in this citjr about two weeks' ago, bear iug with him a letter of introduc tion to Rev. F. W. Farries, pas tor of the Presbyterian church, and Mr. Farries made him his guest. The object of Mr. Quicke's visit South was two fold: he came for his health and to join the Presbytery; he having been iu Canada a minister ,of the Re- fromed Episcopal church. He was in feeble health when he came, but preached two sermons, moron ing and evening in the Presbys terian church on Easter Sunday. The following week he went up to Wilson with Mr. Farries, and connected himself with the Pres bytery. While in Wilson he was taken ill with accute gastritis and was with difficulty removed to Mr. Farries, home in this city, where every attention that skill ed physicians and soiictous nurses could bestow was accord ed him; but he grew gradually worse and this morning he died. Dr. W. R. Bell, of Ottawa, a friendaad former parishoner of Mr. Quicke's, in answer to a telegram sent some days ago by the deceased, arrived yesterday afternoon to see him and was with him in his last moments. Mr. Quicke was an English, man by birth, and quite a young man, but his sudden and sinking illness probably prevented his leaving any information of his antecedents or relatives, and Dr. Bell only knew him as a pastor, consequently his remains will be interred iu Willow Dale, in this city, until his parents, or other relatives or friends can be learn ed of 5nd communicated with. Though a stranger in our midst his death is deeply regret ted, but He to whose service his me was consecrattd is too wise to make, a mistake and doeth all things well. , " orn Is a vigorous feeder and re sponds well to liberal fertiliza tion.

Savage people; have a superstition that an evil eye may be cast upon a person to bring all sorts oi trouble and mis fortune. That seems like a pretty foolish notion ; but it isn't much worse than some of the notions which civilized people indulge in. One worn out su perstition is the be lief that if a man Inherits weak lungs from his parents he is pretty sure to die of con sumption. The actual fact is that if such a man will only take proper care of himseli he will really be safer from consumption than a careless person who has no inherited weakness. Carelessness is the real evil eye. Carelessness will develop a tendency to consumption in any body. The lungs are composed of very delicate, sensitive tissue, even in the healthiest per son ; that is why they yield so quickly to the attack of tainted blood. If the blood is al lowed to get impure and impoverished, and bile-poisoned, the seeds of consumption will spring up in the best kind of a consti tution. The real consumption-taint is in the blood. Hundreds of cases of so-called "heredi tary" consumption have been completely and permanently rooted out of the syst .a Dy Dr. Jfierce's liolden Medical Discovery, simply because it gives the blood-making glands power to pour a fresh abundant sup ply ot ricn, .red, healthy, blood into tne circulation. This drives out all poisonous and unhealthy germs. It stops the waste of tissue aud tne formation ot morbid deposits; builds up fresh, normal, healthy lung tissue and solid, muscular strength. In all the weakened debilitated conditions which are the forerunners of consumption, Dr. Pierce s Discovery is the most per fect nutritive and streneth-builder. It is assimilated by the weakest stomachs. THE TARILL BILL. Republicans Put the Finishing Touches Upon it for Pre sentation to the Democratic Members of the Committee. Washiugton, April 30. Sen ators Allison and Aldricb spent the day in placing the finishing touches to the Tariff bill. They were the only members of the sub-committee in the eiiy. Tne bill has been completed in all es sential particulars and now only remains to be put in .shape for presentation to the Democrats. The subcommittee is still, how ever, receiving suggestions from other Senators, Messrs. Quay, Penrose, Foraker and Smith be ing among those who called to day. The members of the subcom mittee declined .to reveal the changes agreed upon, even to their Senatorial callers. Indeed, Senators generally are as igno rant of the amendments agreed upon as is the general public, and it is. safe to say that the report, when made, will contain many surprises, The Republican members of the committee are still negotiat ing with the Democratic mem bers to have an understanding as to the time to be consumed in considering the bill in full com mittee, but have not succeeded in securing any dennite agree ment. 1 he Democrats say that the length of time taken in com mittee will depend entirely upon the character of the amend ments. It is understood to be one of the purposes of the Democratic members of the Finance CommiU tee to offer several -amendments and force the vote on them so as to put the Republicans on re cord, and they count upon hav ing the co-operation of Senator Joaes, of Nevada, on some of their propositions. Senator Jones' position ap pears to be that he will demand certain concessions , most of tnem affecting Western interests, and if he does not secure them from the Republicans he will join the Democrats in order to get them, and some at least of the Demos cratic members have indicated a willingness to assist him. The California fruit people are continuing their efforts te secure an advance in fruit rates, and they are hopeful of success. Messrs. M. J, Daniel and H. K. Snow constitute a committee now here in this interest. Tbey have exhibited specimens of such of their oraDges to the commit tee as they do not ship to the custom markets because they are shut out, they say, by European competition. They contend that with a small advance in rates California can supply the entire country with citron fruits. A trial of this plan costs but little and is sure to lead to profitable culture.

Daily Argus, last Thursday. The adjourned March meeting of the citizens of Greene county in the interest of the proposed Snow Hill Railroad, met at the court house in that town yesterday morn ing at 11 o'clock and was called to order by Mr. Geo. M. Lindsay, the chairman, who explained the purpose of the meeting in a thrill ing and public-spirited speech. Messrs. vv . James Jordan, of the Snow Hill Standard, Jos. E. Robinson, of the Goldsboro Argus, and E. A. Darden were elected secretaries. As this was an adjourned meet ing from the March meeting the purpose of which was to bear re ports of committees appointed at the March meeting, the reports of committees were called for . Mr. W. J. Jordan, of the com mittee on subscription to the cap ital stock, read the report of the committee's canvass, calling out every individual subscriber, show ing in the aggregate $6,025. On motion of Capt, Swift Gal loway, any delegates from other counties and towns were requested t come forward and orive their names to the secretary. Messrs. Paul Jones, J. D. Jen kins, S. M. Crisp and H. C. Turnage, of Edgecombe county, and J. E. Cobb, of St. Louis, Messrs. Geo. A. Norwood, Jr., J. VvT. Bizzell, Jos. E. liobinson, Jos. Isaacs and Dennis Cobb, of Goldsboro, reported their names to the secretaries. At this point Chairman Lindsay addressed the meeting in a stirring speech setting forth the advant ages of a railroad for Snow Hill, and urging his people of Greene to seize this opportunity, and by their individual and united efforts secure for their county seat, that has so long been relegated from the marts of trade and the busy inter course of men, a railroad it with the outside world. On motion, those committees of Greece who had been appointed to visit sister towns and solicit aid were called upon to report, Capt. Swift Galloway reported for the committee that visited Greenville. He stated that the visit of the committee to Green vi'le was futile. Mr. John D. Grimsley, of the committee to Goldsboro, reported a large, enthusiastic and encour- affinp; meeting in Goldsboio, and spoke cordially of the reception tho committee met with in that town. Mr. Geo. TV. Sugg, of the com mittee to Kinstou, reported a cordial meeting. Mr. Haywood Edmundson, of the Wilson committee, reported, that he found very little encourage ment at that point. R. S. Davis, of the Greenville committee, who comes from the Farmville section, reported sim ilar to Capt. Galloway, and was enthusiastic on the railroad prb ject. Mr. Faul Jones, representing the Board of Trade of Tarboro, stated that his town was very de sirous of having the railroad go to Tarboro. On the part of the Goldsboro delegation, which was the larg est in attendance, and -which was cordially received by -.the good people of Greene,' Messrs. Joseph ft. Kobinson ana ueo. a. Norwood, Jr., president of the National Bank, addressed the. meeting in behalf of Goldsboro, and their words of encourage ment were received with great enthusiasm The fact that Goldsboro has already taken the lead of other competing towns for this road, by ordering an election for the issuance of bonds to the amount of $15,000 is a great encourage ment to the good people of Greene: and there is no question that Goldsboro made the best showing at vesterday's meeting and offers suDerior and incom- uniting To those living in malarial districts Tutt's Pills are indispensible, they keep the system in perfect order and are an absolute cure for-sick headache, indigestion, malaria, torpid liver, constipa tion and all bilious diseases.

Hoi lowell, telling of the arrival of Spring. The readers of the Argus have come to look for the annual effusion from the pen of our iugenius friend- as regu larly as they do for the season themselves, and now that it has come, all fears of killing frosts and wintry weather will vanish, as has been the case heretofore. Not only does Mr. Hollo wU regale our readers with interest ing lines on the seasons, but his burlesque rhythm on popular subjects are eagey perused and are fast cultivating for him a feeling of affection in the hearts of our citizens. No one who has read his contributions to the col umns of the Argus can deny that they are the product of a genius. HOW TO FIND OUT.
