Be strong and of a good courage -Deuteronomy, xxxi, 6 Nothing is more surprising to tbo careful observer than the qualities of character which are developed by an emergency, like the present war, for example. It seems as though our men are so ablaze with enthusiasm that a decade's growth takes ' place in a month. Courage, that kind of courage which consciously and willingly faces death, is so frequently seen that it has become gloriously and almost awfully monotonous. Each day's history is dotted with deeds of daring like stars in a constellation, and we can scar cely eulogize one man without manifest injustice to others. When all ire heroes even praise becomes dumb. If we are entirely impartial, we must extend the limits of this criticism until., it includes those whom we chII our enemies also. Human nature on fire is the same all the world over. When Wain- ribt received Cervera with warm admiration of his bravery, and of fered deserved praise to one who, after leading a forlorn hope, was forced to surrender, he tacitly ad mitted that under circumstances which naturally provoked it cour-. age is. the common property of mankind. -No matter in what clime a man may be reared, or whether the cause he defends is by us consider ed worthy or not, if he is mo ted by J' a sufficiently strong im pulse he is quickly changed from a pigmy into a giant, and thereaf ter he does a giant's work. We have tens of thousands of giants of this kind in the field, in the camp, behind intrenchments, and for the purpose which we have in view at this moment we are proud of tbe fact that there are also orianta fiipincr fioath nnor a Vina- tile flag. We are proud because we believe that all human beings are capable of extraordinary development un der fostering conditions; that there is a gradeur in. our common na ture which needs only an inciting cause to show itself. Mankind does not appreciate itself. God made men noble," and nobility should run through ev ery phase of life. We ought to be st ow more thought on our high destiny, on the qualities with which we are endowed for its accomplishment. We are dormant, sluggish. in dolent spiritually. Unusual con ditions produce great men. There never was a time when the right men did not step to the front to meet and conquer an exigency. The ability is always there, but it sleeps until it is roughly awak ened by some terrible shock, and then the country is suddenly filled with heroes That inability to oyercome is in you as well as in the man behind earthworks. You are larger, than you think yourself, There is nothing in your experience which cannot be met with a soldier's courage and used in the production of a fine char acter. " We live in the delusion that life is common and ordinary ; that we lack the opportunity to make ourselves really great. And yet there is neither one man nor one "woman in a million who has not an environment to make a hero or a heroine withaL 7. -If your lot is cast in ; poverty, in drudgery,, in inharmony which' hampers and discourages, - amid confining duties that prevent and disturb that is your battlefield, these are your enemies, and 'you must either conquer or surrender. It will never do to find fault with Providence, for perhaps Provi dence has put you where you are with a purpose. So might the sol dier find fault with . his general because he is not where he thinks he ought to be. That soldier's Chronic Dyspepsia Cured. Tj FTEE suffering for nearly thirty years from dyspepsia, Mrs. H. E. Dugdale, wile of a prominent business man of Warsaw, N. Y., writes: "For 28 years, I was a constant sufferer from dyspepsia and a weak stomach. The lightest food produced distress, causing severe pain and the forma tion of gas. No matter how careful of my diet I suffered agonizing pain after eating. I was treated by many physicians and tried numerous remedies without permanent help. Two 'years ago I began taking Dr. Miles' Nerve and Liver Fills and Nervine.' Within a week I commenced improving., and per sisting in the treatment I was soon able to eat what I liked, with no evil effects I keep them at hand and a single dose dispels any old symptoms.

WEARY OF LIFE. Despondent Over Ills Failure to - Secure Work a Young North Caroinian "Kills' Himself. WE GO FORWARD. Contract For Sewerage ' Awsrdtd: Con struction ts Begin In Ten Dayss It -Will Be a Complete System. 200 HANDS TO BE EMPLOYED. At a special meeting of the Board of Aldermen yesterday evening, the sealed bids for the construction of Goldsboro's sys tem of sewerage as designed by engineer J. L. Ludlow and adopt ed by the Board of Aldermen, were opened, readand compared, and the contract was awarded to Guild & Co., of Chattanooga, Tenn. - . There were a number of bids, and interest in the award was spirited. Several personal . repre sentatives ' were present, and among these were Messrs. Guild and McClure, of the successful firm, In addition to winning "the contract, their bid being nearly $2,000 below all other competi tors, these gentlemen have im pressed themselves most favor ably upon our people ' as being both competent and reliable, and they bring with them the highest endorsements of their responsi bility. , ; The work of construction will begin within the next ten days. It will start from the river and be brought up to the city on either side, but no earth will be dug up within the corporate limits until" Fall, in order to obviate any ma larial consequences to our citi zens. " Mr. McClure, who has thor oughly gone over the ground, will superintend the construction, and will: have need from the start 'of some ' 200 hands to dig ' the trenches for the sewer pipes. Mr. J.

Ludlow, the . well known engineer, whose competent services the city has secured, will supervise the entire construction to see that every requirement of the contract is fully complied with. ;- - ' ' This ; makes a most" important epoch in . Goldsboro's history, liom which we may expect to date the beginning of greater progress than we have yet known. It's easy to get onto the curves of a bow-legged all pitcher, By Telegraph to The Argus. Philadelphia, July 23. Tired of a fruitless search for employment and weary of life, a young man,, supposed to be Lu ther Sanders, of. Beaufort, N, C, committed suicide by inhaling gas at the boarding house of Mrs. Krauss, 241 North Sixth street, yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Krauss says the young man secured board en Wednesday stating that he would take a room for a few days only, as he was en tirely out of funds, and worn out looking for work. "His non-ap pearance at supper, yesterday af ternoon caused Mrs. Krauss to go to her border's room", where a strong odor of gas denoted that everything was not right. Hurriedly summoning Patrol man Clay, of the Fifth and Race streets police station, the two forced an entrance. Stretched at full length upon the floor, entirely nude, lay Sandprs, his face livid and a long rubber tube extending from the gas jet to his mouth. Life was extinct, and an examina tion showed that the key holes and cracks had been carefully stuffed to preclude any possibility of the gas escaping. The only thing on the dead man's person was a let ter, dated Beaufort, N. C. , March 20, 1896, and telling whoever it might concern that the bearer was Luther Sanders, a young man, who, born and raised in Beaufort, had decided to go out into the world and seek his for tune among strangers. ' The epistle, which was signed by .Mayor Dayis, the Register of Deeds and a score of prominent business and professional men of Beaufort, went on to say that any kindness shown to Sanders would be appreciated by" the signers. i ' - - - - .. The body of the' unfortunate young man is at the Morgue, and unless claimed will be laid away a'orside those who ..sleep their last sleep in Potter's Field. When a young mata asks a father for hfs daughter's hand in marriage, if the father is a wise one, he thinks of one thing equal ly as important as the young man's morals,, social and business standing and intelli gence. A young man who suffers from ill health has no right to marry until his health is restored. To do so is to commit a crime against the human race. While all diseases may not be directly inherited, the constitu tional tendency to acquire them is inher ited. If a man is a consumptive, the chances are that his children will have weak, undersized lungs, and a predisposi tion to acquire the same disease. The young man who suffers from bron chitis, weak lungs, spitting of blood or any disease of the air-passages which, if neg lected leads up to consumption, may take Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery with almost absolute assurance of recovery. It cures o3 per cent, of all cases when taken in time. . It soothes and heals the delicate and sensitive tissues of the air-passages and lungs, checks the cough, facilitates expect oration, drives out all impurities and dis ease germs from the tainted blood and builds new and healthy tissues. Mr. John G. Born, of 4020 Liberty Ave.. Pitts burgh, Pa., writes : "Some thirty months aeo I said to my wife, 1 1 don't want to keep anything from you, I must tell you I am in the last stage of consumption.' In December 1856 1 commenced takine Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. I could then only speak in whispers. I hare taken thirteen bottles, and can say with truth I am greatly benefited. People are surprised to hear me speak. 1 can halloo, and my voice has not been as pood in eight years. My stomach was never in better condition.

Santiago, July 23.-iThe letter alleged to have been written by by General Garcia to General Shafter complaining of the treat ment accorded the Cuban army and advising Shafter of Garcia's withdrawal, turns out to have been writton by a newspaper corres pondent connected with the staff of Gen. Castillo, and it is not probable that Garcia has even seen the letter, The authorities here have just been advised that the actual open ing of commerce with Santiago as an open American port was start ed this morning in New York with the sailing of the steamer Phila delphia, of theWard Line,forthis port. It is stated that the departure was attended with great demon strations on the part of shipping and commercial circles. The ship carries a full complement of pas sengers and food, and is expected to reach this port Monday. Gen. Toral has notified his troops that on the 24th, in accord ance with terms of surrender, the first division of his army will leave for Spain on transports of the Spanish Atlantic Line, which has secured the contract from the American government. -The coin pany has notified Toral that their ships in West Indian waters will be sent at once to Santiago, but it is not thought that any of the ships can reach here by to-morrow, " Orders have been issued by Gen.

A well-defined rumor, which cannot, however, be traced to an authori tative source, was on everybody's lips here to-day to the effect that Admiral Cervera had expressed a determination not to return to his native country at the close of hos tilities betweeu the United States and .Spain. It is said that the Admiral has decided to take up his residence in Boston, whither he will repair with his son, Lieu tenant Cervera, who i3 also a prisoner here, as soon as peace is declared.

This taint in tbe blood naturally drifts into Consumption.
