is a progressive farmer, as well

The death of Mr. Wiley Davis,

from Johnston county to work in
the cotton factory, occurred las'

exists all over Eastern North Car

The Argus again has the pleas
ure of noting the recognition and

time it is our young friend and
townsman Mr. Willis J. Brogden,
"who recently distinguibhed himself
at the State University. He has
been selected by Mr. Morson to
assist him in his notd and pros

We regret exceedingly to
chronicle the death of Mr. Ban.
Whitley, which occurred last
Thursday, of fever,at his home in
New Hope township. He was a
most estimaole youcg man, abou;
25 years of age; son of Mr. Jesse
Whitley ot this city and a brother
of Mr, John Whitley at Bizzeli

A youDg colored man, who ev
idently knew his game, called a
Maj. Hurtt's residence Thursday
morning and told the maid that
Maj. Hurtt said send his valise
by him. The man doubtless knew
that Mrs. Hurtt was absent from
the city, and that the Major
would not be home 'till evening,
but did not know that the Major
has no valise. He was told this at
the home, and his little gam?
was suspected, but he made off
before he could be identified.

While boring a well Thursday
afternoon on the farm of Mr. E.
B. Borden, the workmen were
delighted to find the water gush
ing forth- from the pipe and
spouting in a bold stream five
fee; above the ground. This is
the first artesian well ever found
in this section. The water is pure
and cold. Mr. Borden's farm is on
the edge of the city, and no doubt
artesian wells can be found in
various parts of the neighbor
hood. Out of regard for the United
States, as 'a Rome dispatch puts
it, the Italian Government has
given Colombia eight months'
time to settle the Cerruti claim
and Cartagena will not be bom
barded. Regard for the United
States is likely to be influential
in international dealings here
after. And it is agreeable to
known that in extending our
domain into the eastern hemis
phere we have not abandoned our.
care for the western. The Spanish-American
countries are some
times embarrassing wards, but it
is a tradition that we will not let
them be bullied and in this case
a hint from Mr. Day that Italy
had better not go too fast appears
to have been sufficient.
The attention of Gov. Russell,
Commalider-iuChief of "the col
ored troops," is called to the
seeming laxity of discipline that
prevails in their regard. During
all the time the white troops
were quartered in Raleigh it was
the rarest thing to see one of
them much less dozens of them
traveling on the cars or loiter
ing around railroad stations. Bui
there is hardly a day that from
several to a score or mote of ne
gro soldiers are not seennon our
streets and encumbering the rail
road cars. What is the reason of
this? We have the right to en
quire, and the tax payers who
carry the burden of these negro
soldiers' pay have the right to
know: but Gov. Russell may re
ply by asking us if we ever
stuffed a ballot box which we
have never done.

does away with the necessity for these try

excursion party from Concord

was discharged, and the balance
was taken - ten miles out to sea.
