ROVU BKlwa POWDER CO., NEW YORK. OUR LOCAL OPTIC. The notorious Third N. C.Reg iment, colord vounteers, has been mustered out of service. Hence the appearance of several neg roes around town in "soldier clothes." roe cattle trade that seeks a market in Goldsboro because it is the best town in the Statej now comes here for more than a hundred miles in all directions. We go forward. The many friends in this city and throughout the wide terria tory 'of her acquaintance will be indeed glad to larn that Mrs. Hilda Dawson, who has been so critically ill for several weks, at he home of her daughter Mrs. Johu Slaughter in this city, is now greatly oetter and steadily mproving. Messrs. Griffin & Brooks the shingle manufacturers, who have a well appointed plant on Neuse river adjacent to this city, sold last week to the Chesapeake Lumber Company, of Norfolk, 2, 500,000 cypress shingles, amount ing to more than $9,U00. These shingles are to be delivered at the option of the manufacturers. JThis order, coming as it - does trom a company of such magni tude, speaks well for the quality of the goods these gent'emen are manufacturing, and the Augus is glad to note the success they are meeting with. The police made an important arrest here la&t week. A negro named Frank Williams offered a valuable lot of jewelry for sale at a store near the fish market. The case looked suspicious and the keeper of the store came down and acquainted the police with the cir cumstances. The negro was at once arrested and locked up. He made some kind of a statement r-bout finding the box of jewelry, but it has been learned since that he is just from the penitentiary, where he served a ten years' sen tence for stealing an overcoat. He has two accomplices, which the police hope to capture. It is sur mised that a jewelry store in some other town has been robbed. There appears elsewhere in this issue the semiannual state ment of the Bank of Wayne, which, in its volume of business &Ld rounded aggregation of cap ital, is a gratifying and satisfy ing evidence of Goldsboro's con tinued steady progress and ever wideningcommercial importance. In fact, what a city accomplishes in development and progress is best measured by its banking exhibits, and a comparison of the statement of the Bank of Wayne published to-day with that published in the Argus on the first of February 1898 shows an increase of deposits over last years' statement ot -nearly one hundred thousand dollars. We doubt if any other bank in the State has made such progress in the fiscal year, just closed. There fore Goldsboro is the best town ;n the State and still goes for ward. Ten Regiments Relieved. Washington, Feb. 1. Orders were issued to-day fnr the mus--t9r out of the following regiments: First Maryland, at Augusta, Ga.; Third Mississippi, at Alba: ny, GaL Eighth Pennsylvania, at Augusta, Ga.; Thirteenth Penn sylvania, at Augusta, Ga.; Four teenth Pennsylvania, at Summer yille, S, C.y Fourth' Texas, at San Antonio, Texas, Fourth "Wiscon sin, at Anniston, Ala.; . Seventh Volunteers, at Macon, Ga., Eighth Volunteers, at Chickamauga, Tenn.; Tenth Volunteers', at Ma con, Ga. - As a result of the muster out, the "War Department will aban don all winter camps in the South except those at Augusta, Ga., and Greenville, S. d, and at these camps the remainder of the tolunteera will, be concentrated) THE SUFFRAGE BILL. : The Democracy Is a Unit on the Measure. Friday's Raleigh News-Observer. The Democratic joint caucus de cided last night to submit the con- 1 1 stitutional amendment to the peo f pie. The following resolution, draft ed by Judge Connor, was passed by the caucus: "Resolved, That it is the sense of the Democratic caucus to sub j mit a constitutional amendment on the subject Of suffrage to a vote of the people of the next general election." The vote on this resolution was by a separate roll call, the Senate ycting first. Every Senator pres ent voted for the resolution. The House voted at the completion of the Senate roll call. More than the requisite three fifths of the total membership of each house voted for the resolu tion. This settles two questions defin itely: A constitutional araendmpnt will be submitted. It will be submitted at the gen eral election in 1900. As to the nature of the amend ment nothing was determined at the caucus last night beyond the general fact that it will be sub stantially the same as thsit sub mitted by the committee and printed ia this paper on last Sun day. Some minor changes will prob ably be .made, but they will effect details only and fwill n no -wise change the nature and scope of the amendment. There may be some changes of dates. The caucus will meet again to night to perfect the amendment and formally adopt it. The reso lution of last night settled all but the mere form of voting. There was no opposition to the adoption of the amendment, and the caucus was harmonious throughout. There was a free m- terchange of opinions, the keene st interest being manifested. It is expected that the amend ment, after receiving the final stamp of approval to-night, will be submitted to tie House within the next few days, and it is not improbable that it will pass both houses within the week. Some of the finest speeches of the session were rn ade in the cau cus, and the amendment and pos sible developments -were fully dis cuBSed. Among those who spoke were Senators Glenn, Eaves and Bryan and Representatives Davis, of Havwood: Leather wood, of Swain; Council, of Catawba; Mc Lean, of Harnett, and Judge Con nor, of Wilson. SEPARATE CAB BIXT,, The sub-committee appointed to draft a bill providing separate ears for the races will have the bill ready to submit to full com mittee this, afternoon. The '.sub committee agreed as to the main features of the bill raad Senator Jerome was asked to draft it. Maj. w. "A. Guthrie appeared in behalf of the Lynchbvrg and Dur ham Railroad, Capt. Renn, m the interest of railway conductors and Mr. Henry Miller for the South ern, and had -a hearing before the sub-committee. The earnings of roads will be made the basis of accommodations required, CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND . . MENTS. - Four Sections Adopted Last ;, Night. Saturday's News-Observer. The Democratic caucus of the Legislature last night adopted the following resolution, offered by . Senator Travis: Resolved, That this General Assembly should finish its duties by the 25th of February, ancfc on that day to adjourn to a day here after to be agreed upon," The constitutional amendment PfOBH He!" : in her Cupid ds in ' wom some an's ear, i thatlime cornea woman's duty to rice before she answers. She should think once for herself, and once for the man who has chosen her for his life companion. If she is suffering: from a torturing', drag ging weakness or disease so prevalent with her sex, she has no right to answer "Yes ". until her health is restored. If she does, she will be wretched and ill herself and her home will be an unhappy one. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a scientific remedy that cures all weakness, disease, disorder and derangement of the delicate and im portant feminine organs. It is not a " cure all," but a medicine devised to correct this one class of disorders and no other. It has accomplished its purpose in tens of thousands of cases, as is shown by tens of thousands of testimonials of the grateful patients themselves. It imparts vigor and virility to the entire womanly organism, and is the best of all nerve tonics and re storatives. It fits for wifehood and mother hood. It transforms weak, nervous, de spondent invalids into healthy, happy women. " I was so weak I could scarcely walk about the house," writes Mrs. Mattie Scrugjrs, of Alien's Creek, Amherst Co., Va. " Was reduced to a mere skeleton. I was never free from paiu in the back and head and could not sleep at night. I bought three bottles of Dr. Pierce'a Favorite Prescription and ' Golden Medical Dis covery' and two vials of 'Pleasant Pellets.' After taking these six weeks I felt like a new person : slept well and gained in flesh. I am doing all my own housework and we have nine in the taimly." Linuy.

This section, it will be remem bered, as offered by the commit tee, relates to the capacity of any one to vote whose grandfa ther or father could vote on January 1, 1867. Senator Justice offered an amendment to this section which materially affects the object sought by the committee and sup ported it in a very strong and earnest speech, Pending consider ation of this amendment the cau cus adjourned to meet again to night. The following is the completed portion of the amendment as adopted: "Sec. 2.

Just before adjournment of the ouse yesterday the speaker an nounced the affixing of his signa ture to the following ratified bills in the Senate and House, reciev ed from the Senate a few mo- ments previously: To repeal Chap, 112, Acts 1895, and Chap. 72. Acts 1897, to amend Chap. 108, Acts 1895; providing for election of directors of State Prison Fri day, February 3rd; providing for election of officers of Craven county; to amend Chap. 205, Acts 1893; to repeal Chap. 150, Acts 897, in reference to the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad management; to amend Chap. 65, Acts 1895; to repeal Chap. 491, Acts 1893, and amend Chap. 186, Acts 1885; to amend Chap. 235, Acts 1892; to change the name of Harriston, Pitt county to Ayden; to investigate negro A. & M Col- ege at Greensboro; to amend Chap. 37, Acts 1897; to enable New Hanover county to revise ury lists. YESTERDAY IN THE SENATE. The Senate yesterday made slow progress on the laws relat ing to the Insane and the govern ment of the hospitals. Another effort was made to exclude ine briates, but without success. The section permitting voluntary ap plication by inebriates was strick en out. The principle part of the dis cussion yestesday was upon the question of admitting any one ex cept indigent insane, a compro mise having been reached by Sen ator Travis's substitute. Senator Speight who has the bill m charge and who evidently has given it most careful thought, is standing by the V.U manfully, agreeing- to some amendments and successfully resisting others. The main fight on the bill is ex pected to come to-day, when the sections relating to the criminal and dangerous insane come up. For the second time in the Sen ate the fusionists have been routed by the provisions of their election law of 1895. In each case deeded against them this ses sion, the unlawful registrations cooked their goose without hav ing to go any further into frauds or irregularities. Suffered 20 Years. -HWE8.MABY LEWIS, wile of a promt i W ft nent farmer, and well known by aU T Id residents near Belmont, N. Y,, writes: "For twenty-seven years I had been & constant sufferer from neirous prostra tion, and paid large sums of money for doc tors and advertised remedies without bene fit. 'Three years tisti my condition was ulamMne: the least noise would startle and unnerve me. I yas unable to sleep, bad a number of sinking spells anJ slowly grew wnixsa. I began using Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine and Nerve anrf Li ver Pills. At first the medicine seemed to have no effect, but after taking a few bottles I began to notice a change; I rested better at night, my appe tite hpsran to improve and I rapidly grew better, until now.

DIRECTORS CHOSEN. T we've Good Democrats Were Se'ected by the Legisture Yesterday. Saturday's Raleigh Post. There will now be a genuine reform in the affairs, conduct and management of the penitentiary, or rather the Stale Prison, as the new bill denominates the b;g place of confinement on the west ern outskirts of this city a re formrthat is not spelledJefawm" and ia not a travesty upon the real thing, such as that which the fusionists inaugurated two short years ago and which is said to have already saddled a debt of something lik-1200,000, or at the rate of $100,000 a year, upon the taxpayers of the State. Yesterday the House and Sen ate simultaneously, thoagh separately, elected twelve new directors of the State Prison, in pursuance of the terms of the new law governing the matter. The election took place shortly after noor, for which hour it had been made tbe special order, and twelve good and true and capable men, all Democrats (oce from each mdicial district) were chosen, as fallows: First D strict Bet. j.

BOARD OF INTERNAL IMPROVlfi MENTS. . Mr. Gilliam called attention to the fact that it was understood that the Senate would on Satur. day, February 4th, at 12 noon. proceed to eleot the"" nine members (one from each Con gressional district) of the new board of internal improvements created by the recently passed in the House,bill to that- effect, and that it was therefore desirable that the House set the same time for the same work, etc. It was suggested, however, by Mr. Winston, that no official notice had vet been received from the House of the passage of tbe bill. and so the matter was passed over informally for the time be ing.
