THURSDAY MAY IB. 1897. OIG :! i) i; C ) i. THE ARGUS. DAILY AND WEEKLY. LOCAL BRIEFS Miss Ella Stith has returned from a visit to relatives at Mt. Olive. Mr. Ceeil M. Jordan, of Kinston, is in the city visiting his friend Mr. J. Wash Bizzell. Mrs. B. M. Powell, who has been visiting Mrs. Goo. S. Pritchard, has returned to her home at Varrenton. The nickel-plated Victor bicycle in front of the jewelry shop of Mr. R. A. Creech, is admired by all who pass that way. It is of the latest . pattern, and is something to be de sired by lovers of the "silent steeds of steel." A friend suggests that we adorn our houses with the Ten Command ments and other good mottoes. 'We amend by recommending that they be hung on the walls of our hearts, that our lives may be adorned by them. On account of her continued bad health, Mrs. V. M. Thompson has decided to discontinue her boarding house on West Centre street and return to her home in the country. Her many friends hope that the change will result in early restora tion to her wonted good health. An increasing interest is being manifested in the services now in vogue at the Presbyterian Church, conducted by the earnest evangelist and lucid Bible expounder Rev. E. W. Oakes. There will be no service, however, to-night. The services to morrow are published in the church directory, elsewhere in this issue. Charity Dunn, the old lady who had her leg cut off by the shifting engine on W. & W. R. R. some days ago, is still at the Emergency Hos pital, where she is receiving every attention needful, but her condition is improving very slowly. At one time since the fearful accident very little hope was entertained for her recovery, but for the past two days she has been more quiet, and the wound shows signs af healing. The Raleigh correspondent of the Wilmington Messenger says in to day's issue ''Dr. George Robinson, of Smithfield, who this week was elected first assistant physician of the Insane Asylum, declines the po sition. The board of directors or trustees met to-day to elect his suc cessor, and chose Dr. Davis, of Beau fort, who was pushed for the place by Representative Carl Duncan, who was here for this purpose." All aboard for Snow Hill through one of the most fertile farming sec tions in the world! Goldsboro must have the road to Snow Hill. It is going somewhere. The people down there are in earnest about it; the fur ther development of that fine coun try demands it, and the only ques tion to be settled is which way will the road go. Goldsboro is able to secure this road, and, what is more, we cannot afford for it to go from Snow Hill to some other point, there by deflecting from our city the pro lific trade of Greene county. I believe that any man can trans . form and transfigure his own na ture, and by a very simple process. Cultivate a profounder acquaintance with yourself, and you will very soon discover capacities of which you are now ignorant. Look within for your comfort and happiness rather than without and you will find that life is assuming an entirely differeut as pect. A study of your own soul will dispose of your doubts and give you a repose, a self-possession, a serenity of temper and a sense of security which can be had in no other way. Faith will fill your days as with in cense, and the consciousness of God's presence will steal over you to strengthen and inspire, --Rev. Geo. Hepworth. The value of advertising cannot be overestimated, as all business men who advertise will cheerfully testify. " This week the large furni ture house of Royall & Borden in this city used their space in the Argus to announce a special sale for a certain chair that they had in stock, and the demand for that chair has far exceeded their expectations The Argus has on its subscription list a class of readers who have money to spend and they peruse its advertising columns before they make their purchases, The person or firm who offers inducements w ill Set the patronage, while those who ave bargains and never advertise them will continue to complain of hard times.

CAUGHT AT LAST. This eastern section of North Carolina is beyond all question the most desirable portion of the State for a home. And North Carolina is the most desirable State in the Union for a home. She has all that could be reasonably required as to soil, "climate, health, morals, education and refinement. The recent storms which deluged the best lands of other States did her no material damage and seldom, if ever, do, except, per haps, the occasional destruction of a few inferior wooden bridges which should never have been built. The political upheaval which is still caus iner the citizens of some other States to be ready tp fly at each other's throat has become a Jote with our oeople, : Religion, education and so cial conventions are being held, the laws are being enforced firmly, but kindly, one man goes to his farm, " another to his merchandise, another to , his work, of whatever ind -all - v cheerful and hopelul ol the - tuture. , Yt e go forward ! -' -" - liut of Varied Tenor, Selected By It he Kditor From Manifold Sources to Site Many Minds, " A wise son niaketh a glad father; but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother." Solomon. A wise son is trained by an intel ligent mingling of love and firm ness. " Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying." Proverbs. . A wise son is instinctively reverent toward his parents. If thou woudst have thy son pos sess wisdom, teach him to abhor bad companions and doubtful literature. A boy who has the right kind of wisdom will attend church and sit in the same pew with his" mother. Avoid the vanity of worldly wis dom. It is a snare and a delusion. The wisdom that cometh from God is a treasure, rich beyond compare. Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? There is more hope of a fool than of him. God's Word.

Richard Williams Knjoyed tlte Fruits of His Pilferlne For a While, But His Sins Found Him Out, A young negro by the name of Richard Williams, who is well-known as a loafer about town, is now in jail, charged with being implicated in the robbery of Saturday night, when about $200 was taken from the safe of Baker, Isler & Co. The arrest of Williams was not for this ciime, but for another of a sim ilar nature, and the circumstances surrounding the whole shows what vigilance our efficient police force always keep on criminals. Some time ago, Mr. V . L. Ed wards, the veteran oyster dealer, had small sum of money, about $18, stolen from his place of business, on East Centre street, and as Williams was a regular loafer about his res taurant, he was tne individual on whom Mr. Edwards at once placed his suspicion. But there was noth mg to confirm this suspicion until one day this week, when Williams made a display of new cl6thing and perched himself on a brand-new bicycle. This made Mr. Edwards be lieve his suspicions were correct, and he accordingly secured the services of an officer with a search warrant and proceeded to the late residence of Williams, m Little Washington, Nothing was found there; but some of the neighbors informed Williams as to the action of the police, and he fled from the city on his new bicycle If he had stayed at home he would not now be m jail, as the search at his premises revealed nothing of im portance. But his action in leaving made the police desirous of gettm possession of his person, end this desire was increased when it was learned that Williams had purchased the bicycle from the hardware estab lishment of Mr. W. H. Huggins and paid $45 in cash for it. So mfornia tion was sent out and he was cap tured by the authorities at Princeton and brought to this city. un nis arrival nere ne told that a brother had sent him the money with which to purchase the bicycle, but since his confinement in jail he has confessed to telling a falsehood in this regard, and says that he got the money irom Ned Williams, a negro man wno occasionally nils a position as brakeman on the WT. & W. R. R. He also says that Ned Williams told him that he got the money across the way on - baturday night and gave it to him for safe keeping. The police are now on the alert for Ned V llliams, but it is thought that Richard will confess to taking part in the robbery before the trial. He was arrested for one offense and will no doubt be convicted of a greater one. Ail criminals may expect to ex piate their crime when it is com mitted within the jurisdiction of our excellent police force, The late Robert Louis Stevenson had a harmy way oi applying re ligion to life and showing how it should work in practice.- Talking one day to the children at a school in Samoa about the parable of the talents, he told "them- there were three they all possessed tongues, that thev must use to be cheerful and make those happy who were round them. Faces, that they must keep as bright as a new shilling, so that they might shine like lamps in their homes. Hands, that they must keep employed in useful work cheer fully done : and if they spent their lives in doing these things for the good of others, they might be told at last : "Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of the least of these, ye did it unto Me." lit DREADED CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURES ' .

Cheney & Co., Props ., Toledo,' fiTBOia uyaruggists oc. Mb. Editor: In your issue of May 6th appeared a card from H. L. Grant, in which he makes an effort to reply to a speech I made at a meeting a few nights after the Dem ocratic convention which nominated the Mayor. Mr. Grant is misinformed as to the facts of which he writes. The meeting was not a meeting to consider the holding of a local option election in the city, but was for the purpose of helping to get out a good ticket for Aldermen for the late elec tion. Some parties were advocating an independent ticket and my speech was in opposition to the course of those who proposed to act outside the Democratic party, and warning them that there was no reform to be found among the enemies of De mocracy, as our' only hope for good government was in the good people of our community abiding by the Democrats' promises. I said in my speech that we could not trust the Republicans: for in the last Legisla ture the people were not faithfully represented. That while I did not know Mr. Grant s record ot my own knowledge, yet I was told " by men who said they contributed money for the purpose of buying up his in fluence to kill the Dispensary bill that he himself had introduced, the details of which I will not got into now. I was then speaking as a citi zen to hold our people together for the common good. I repeated the statements I had heard, and so ex plained, and I would not have re peated them if I had not believed .they were true. Two men told me to-day that they contributed money with the understanding it would be used to buy off Mr. Grant; and such talk has not been uncommon since the Legislature adjourned. I don't say he did take a bribe. I don't know. But anybody is at liberty to inquire, and they will find that I have not spoken of hearing so very new a story. I wonder if he denies telling two of our best citizens that he was offered a roll of money in Raleigh to kill the bill? Did he expose the would-be briber ? Did he resent the insult, if he considered it an i nsult? Would not any decent citizen have consid ered it an insult by an offer to bribe them? He admits that "there is an un written history about the failure of that bill, which m time may be made public, when the truth will not re flect upon the Senator from Wayne." Why should there be an unwritten history about any bill which so much concerns the people of Goldsboro? If he is not a party to this unwrit ten history, why conseal his knowl edge from the public? Is not this the time they should know ? He is not on trial for bribery, and why shall he wait to throw the burden of proot on others to show his skirts unclean. when he is innocent i W hy not en lighten the people he pretended to represent ? He is the Senator from v ayne ana owes tne people nere an accounting for his conduct. He in troduced and caused to be passed through the Senate this important nieasure, when he did not even men tion it in the campaign previous to the election ; and under the slim pre text to enforce it, he gets through the Senate, on the brink of the close of the session, an obnoxious police commission bill that stunk in the nostrils of every decent citizen who loves local government; . and, too. without giving our people a chance to even consider it, or be heard be fore the committee oi either house. (Jan a benator who will so.misrepre sent his people, be above suspicion? And while I don't know about the bribe, I cannot easily ; exclude from my mmd such things as 1 hear, and I feel it my duty to warn the people I live amongst not to follow the party that follows him. I had no axe to grind, and was not a candidate for ofhee when 1 made that speech, but was only asking my friends to stand to the party I love and not join its enemies, tor l believe we stand for our neighbor s good, for our country, for humanity and for God. In his referring to his past polit ical record of twenty-five years, he must have been indirectly talking to his friends away from home, as his record is well known here, and not favorably judged by a forgiving and magnanimous people ; but when the unwritten history . of that bill shall have the opportune time to make cor rect history, I hope our people !' will have one charge1 less against- a man that they have tried to think some thing of. i , D.

Paris, May 7 ception of the Socialist news papers, the whole press associates -itself with the profound sorrow which has overtaken the upper classes of French society. The papers point out that the ques tion of the responsibility for the fearful fire at the Charity Bazaar must be fixed. They reproach the prefecture of police for not having taken proper precautions. The government has ordered all the subsidized theatres to be clos ed until Saturday, as a mark of respect for the dead. To the list of victims must be added the names of Mile, de Chevaily and the Viscomtesse d' A venal, who have succumbed to the injuries they sustained while escaping from the fire. It is stated that Mile, de L name not given in full, accoiding to custom of French newspapers the daughter of a well-known colonel, visited the Due de Ven- dome, son of the Due d'Alencon, yesterday and repeated a conver sation she had with the late Duchesse d'Alencon just before Vie catastrophe. Mile, de L spoke of the courageous conduct of his royal highness after the fire broke out, and qontinued : I was talking to the Duchesse in front of the stall where I was assisting when I heard a cry of fire, and immediately said to the Duchesse; 'Let us eo, madame; come at once. "The Duchesse replied: 'No, not yet. Let us gave the visitors time to get out.' I saw the crowd rush for the exits and the flames spreading rom hanging to hanging around us, while drops oi burning tar fell upon us. I took the Duchesse by the waist and was dragging her away. I repeated: " 'You must come, madame. I dragged her a few paces; but, with a brusque movement, she released lerself, saying : 'No, I will re; main. As I myself was suffocating, and as the flames had already reached us, I was compelled to abandon her. She stood motion- ess, then took a few steps to ward her stall, her eyes uplifted to heaven, as though seeing vis ions, and that was the last 1 saw of her." The report that the Countess Castellane, formerly Miss Anna Gould, was among the missing, is pure invention. The . Castellanes were not even in the vicinity of the fire. A cable message has been re ceived here from San Francisco, saying that the French colony of that city is deeply moved at the catastrophe which has plunged so many families here into mourning, and expressed condolence with the sufferers. General Meumer, who was so severely burned during the fire at the Charity Bazaar, died at noon to-dav. Only five bodies now re main unidentified. The remains of the Duchesse d'alencon were placed in a coffin this afternoon, m'the presence o: Prince Louis and Prince Ferdin and of Bavaria, Baron Lambert and Colonel De Percival, who signed their names on the sealed coffin. The Due de Vendome, son of the deceased Duchesse, was also present. Other victims whose remains have been identified are Mme De Villeneuve, Mme. Cordoct, Mme. Blinsky, Mme. Cousson, Mme. Gentry, Sister St. Claire and Dr. Eochet Mazure.

Wilmington Star: Tho Southern Baptist Conven tion was convened in the audita rinm of the First Baptist Church at 1 a. m , yesterday. What this meant in a general way the peo ple partly knew in advance, as they could well appreciate the tinge of excitexnt which the presence of a vry large crowd would give the atmosphere. But they never knew until yesterday what it is to watch the p-oceed- mgs or the largest religious body in the world, to look into the faces of the recogn z d represen tatives of a denomination in some respects the most aggressive on the globe, or tj feel the impulse to righteousness i ece ;sarily aroused by intercourse with so many good men and true. At the beginning of the ses sion Ine auunorium was not more than three-fourths filled, and the seats in the gallery were many of them unoccupied.
