GOLDSBORO WOMAN'S CLUB.
A New Departure for Goldsboro, But One
That Promises to Infuse New Enterprise
and Progress in the Community.
(By Our Special Reporter.)
Daily Argus of Friday,
She walketh veiled and sleeping,
For she knoweth not her power;
She oheyeth but the pleading
Of her heart, and the high leading
Of her soul, unto this hour.
Slow advancing, halting, creeping,
Comes the Woman to the hour!
She waliieth veiled and sleeping,
For she knoweth not her power.
''-. - C.P. Stetson.
Tho called women's meeting for
yesterday afternoon took place at
the Opera Huuso, and was largely
attended and resulted in the or
ganization of tbe Goldsboro
Woman's Club, consitting of fifty
charter members.
Mrs. C. P. Stetson and Mrs.
R. Gotten presided, and each in
her own peculiarly happy manner,
explained to the audience the object
of such a club, which is, briefly
peaking, that the membsrs are to
abcr for the general improvement
of our town. The special lines of
work were not decided upon, as the
time was limited, but they will
most likely follow in the footsteps
of a well known successful Penn
sylvania woman's club, and adopt
such departments as these: The
lome, Education, Literature,
Philanthropy, and probably
others.
Mrs. Cotten pointed out the
ifference between men's and
women's clubs, which are almost
iametrically opposite. Men seek
Inbs for rest and pleasure, women
for at least mental exertion. Men
go there to read newspapers:
women to read essays and reports,
or to near lectures, ror many
women the club is the most stren
nous part of their lives, for moat
men it is purely pleasant pastime.
By the phrase c'.ub woman we
commonly imply a person particu-
arly busy or useful; the phrase
club man suggests no such associa
tions. Both imply some spending of
. .a
money, out wncre tno woman
spends a dol.'ar on a club, the man
usually spends ten. At both, food
is occasionally served, but with
this difference, that the women's
unch or dinner ia served with
much less expense than the men' p.
So far as the business manage
ment of the club is concerned,
there is every reason to predict a
success, as tho general develop
ment of women in this direction
removes all obstacles irou tnai
quarter.
Mrs Cotten then pertinently
and with humor remarked hat "our
work would not make us un
womanly nor would it take as
out of our sphere." In conclusion,
she urged that an election of offi
cers be made, and acting upon her
good advice the following select
ions were made:
President Mrs. W. K. Hollo-
well.
Vice Fx evident Mrs. F. D.
Swindell.
Recording Secretary Mrs. VV.
S. O'B. Robinson.
Corresponding Secretary Miss
Anna Lswis.
Treasurer Miss Irene Stanley
The president then appointed a
committee to frame the constitution
and by-laws, which are to be re
ported at the next meeting and
voted upon.
Mrs. Cotten and Mrs. Stetson
were both elected honorary mem
bers, and the club wishes to take
this opportunity of expressing its
thanks and appreciation for their
kindness.
They are both such gifted women
that the afternoon was decidedly
. ' i II 1 . a '
entertaining as well as instructive,
and if all future club meetings
prove as attractive and harmon
ious, there will be no absent
members, and steady progress wil
characterize the organization.
The meeting adjourned to . hold
its next session on Friday, the
31st, in the afternoon at half past
three o clock, in the Court House,
A full attendance is desired, not
only of the members but of ai
those desiring membership.

From the day that a young man starts
out to seek his first position to the end of
his business life, his health has a world to
do with his success. Whe.u a young- man
applies to a business man for a position, his
personal appearance has a deal to do with
the oevcome. " Personal appearance" does
not mean drvss alone. It does not mean
exterior cleanliness alone. A young man
may be clean, so far as soap and water will
make him, but be disfigured by unsightly
pimples, eruptions and ulcerations on the
skin. These are due to impurities in the
blood. The blood becomes impure because
it is improperly nourished. Instead of
receiving the life-giving elements of the
feod, it receives the foul emanations ot
indigestion, bilousness and costiveness.
The reason that Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery is the best remedy for
disorders of this description is that it goes
right to first causes. It give a man an
appetite " like a horse." It facilitates the
flow of digestive juices. It corrects all
disorders of the digestion, and makes til's
assimilation of the life-giving element?
of the food perfect. It invigorates the
liver. It purifies and enriches the blood.
It makes the muscles strong and active.
It tones and steadies the nerves. It makes
a youag man look as he should strong of
body, alert of brain and clean and whole
some of skin. Medicine dealers sell it,
and have nothing "just as good."
" I had eczema in its worst form,'. writes
Austin Ramsey. Esq., of Saltillo, Huntingdon
Co., Pa. "I tried three doctors but got no re
lief. I thought it would set me wild, it itched
aud burned so badly. The neighbors thought I
would never be cured. I took your 1 Golden
Nfedical Discovery and am now well."

' Manila, P. I., )
February 10th, 1899. )
My Dear Fathek: Everything is
comparatiuely quiet here now, and
while we are awaiting the boom of
the signal gun which will announce
the attack to-night of the whole
Filipino forces, under the supervis
ion of Aguinaldo, who has now taken
the field in person, I will endeavor to
give you an account of what has
happened here prior to, and since the
4th of February. Of course you
know, every one knows by now of
the fight we have had with the
natives, and the signal success of the
American arms. A few days ago.
belore the light commenced, you
couldn't hear anything but "home,
home: when are we going home?"
Now you can't hear home mentioned,
and I think there is not one man in
a thousand who would go now, were
he handed his discharge this minute
I, for one, am anxious to stay and
see it out, and certainly wouldn't
take mine until the trouble is over.
We Lave been expecting trouble for
some time, as the natives have been
spoiling for a fight, and insulting our
men whenever they met them . We
had orders to pay no attention to
them, and let them start the trouble
if any was to be made. This of
course made them more uppish than
ever, and they finally came to the
conclusion that we could not be
made to fight, declaring that "one
Filipino could whip five Americans."
'Tis needless to say they have
reached a somewhat different con
elusion ere this. They had made up
a song about us, which they sang
every time they passed one of our
men, and to say that that particular
man was mad, would be putting it
mildly. He just simply boiled over,
The chorus of it runs something like
this: -
Filipino mueho brave
Americanons mucho malo,
Euste no carre combatte.
"Filipinos very good,
Americans very bad, no good.
And don't care to fight,"
Our men deserve great credit for
the self-control they showed and
there is not an incident on record to
show that they fired, except when
ordered or attacked. We all thought
they were mostly wind, "or talking
through their hats" in other words.
and had made up our minds to be
sent back home, without a scrap.
when - something happened about
three weeks ago, which caused us
to change our minds and look out for
squalls. Private Schmidt of Co. K,
1st South Dakota Regiment, while
on guard at Sangalaug outpost.
halted two natives, who when chal
lenged informed him they were
friends and were told to advance,
just before they reached him, he
turned nis DacK on them to resume
his beat, when they made a murder
ous attack on him with daggers, cut
ting him badly in several places,
Nothing daunted, however, the brave
fellow Ikept his presence of mind,
knocked one of them down, shot and
killed the other instantly, and before
the one he had knocked down could
get up aed go fifty yards, he had re
loaded his old Springfield and killed
him, too. There are some wonderful
shots among these Western regiments, and he
undoubtedly must be one of them. : We could
stand theirinsults and taunts all right, but we
could stand no such treachery as that, and
orders were then given to halt all natives
three times and to shoot to kill provided they
didn't stop. This, to use the expression of one
of the boys in our corps, "brought on the big
show," and Saturday, February 4th, at about
19:15 p. m., the ball opened in dead earnest.
One of the Nebraska boys halted a native, who
refused to stop, and fired on him, whereupon
the native beat a retreat back to the block
house, and baeked by a company of natives re
turned again and poured a volley into them.
This must have been the signal to begin the
attack, for from this the firing became general,
and like a flash of gun powder extended from
one end of the line to the other. I was on duty
at Major General Anderson's when the fun
started, having been sent there to relieve a
man who wauted to get off for a few hours. No
sooner had the firing started, however, than he
came running back to his post, when I grabbed
my hat and ran as rapidly as I could back to
my quarters to report to my command, onlj to
find them gone, and no one there but the
guard. Stopping just long enough to ask
which way Capt, Russet's detachment was, I
started out again to find him. When I struck
the Escalta, the main business street of Manila,
found every thing in confusion. Soldiers who
had been out on pass were hurrying here and
there to join their commands. Citizens were
seeking places of shelter and safety, and pan
demonium reignedsupreme. I never saw such
sight in my life, and never expect to again.
Capt. Russel was out at the Montana outpost.
fully four miles from our quarters, so in order
to make time and reach him as quickly as
possible, I planted myself in the middle of the
road and determined to impress into service
the first rig that came my way. I had not long
to wait, in a minute a carriage swept toward
me. I grabbed the horses by their bridle bits.
shoved my revolver into the face of the driver,
and in a flash had bundled its two occupants
into the middle of the road and was off. I
found Capt. Russel in a few minutes, reported,
and in a second was hard at work. The Mon
tana outpost was driven back by a superior
force and had fallen back on the old cemetery
when I reached there, but shortly after I ar
rived were reinforced by another company
nd were steadily regaining their lost position,
They regained it a few minutes later, and not
withstanding the fact they had cut our wires
in twenty different places, we soon fixed it.
and in a very few minutes had re-established
communication with headquarters. I have
often wondered when hearing you speak of the
last war of what I should do, and how I should
feel under fire. I have found out, and I think
the man who goes In and comes out, for the
first time, with breath enough left in his body
to tell of his experience, tells the biggest lie of
his life when he sas the sensations he ex
perienced were pleasant ones. When I say
this, I mean of course, for the first few rnin-
tes, say an half hour. I know that for the
first twenty minutes I was in, and heard the
sharp ping of the Mauser and the whir of
the Remington bullets, (you can easily dis
tinguish them as they whistle around you.) I
thought every man in Aguinaldo's army had a
personal grudge against me, and I dare say
that I thought more to the square inch of that
little place called Goldsboro than I ever did
before in my life. I didn't mind it so much
afterwards, and though we were under fire for
the greater part of eighteen hours on a stretch
we did our work as calmly and cooly as If it
were an every day occasion. Every organiza
tion did nobly, including the signal corps, and
while we are not a State organization, coming
we do, from every part of the union, and
want to be heard of as much as the rest of the
troops, still we heve the satisfaction of know
ing that our work was not the least. important
of the lot, and our corps has been highly com
mended by the commanding general ! the
eighth army corps. The duties of the signal
corps, as you well know, are to keep the com
mands in close touch with each other, so at
any time of day or night the commandin g offi
cials may know what is going on. We 'lid it
and did it to perfection. Not only the army
knew what to do, when to do, and how to do
but the navy as well, and from the time the
battle started up until the present we have
kept them thoroughly posted. Lieut. Bailey
to whose detachment I belong, kept them
posted as to the movements of the left wing
Capt. Russel, with whom I served the first two
days, looked after the centre, and Lieutenant
Gardner the right wing, which extended along
the beach, and to the navy. It was the latter
which kept in touch with the navy as well as
the army, and signalled the Charleston the
whereabouts of the insurgents and the range,
With Lieut. Gordon there was a gallant son of
old North Carolina, of whom I shall speak
later. Towards day break on Sunday morning
the 5th, the Mon tana's had advanced as far as
practicable, and as onr wire there was in good
order and working smoothly, we were ordered
to report to the Kansas outpost, at Malabon car
sheds and look after the wire there. It was at
this point the hottest engagement of the first
two days took place and 'twas there that I first
saw the effective use of artillery in war. The
20th Kansas, Col . Funston, had engaged a large
body of the enemy there, and they were having
a pretty hard time of it, when the Utah Light
Artillery came running up, took its position
on a little knoll and from there hurled death
and destruction into the ranks of the enemy,
Shells are the thing to inspire the souls of men
with terror, and it took but a few doses of this
kind of medicine to make them break and fall
in every direction. This was an advantage we
were not slow to follow up, and after giving
the men a few minutes breathing spell, the
order was given to advance. Gen. McArthur
had instructed Capt. Russel that as soon as the
advance was ordered, he was to make arrange
ments to signal the Charleston, so she could
protect the advance with her guns. The min
ute the order was received Capt. Russel turned
to one of our detachment, "Youngl" "Yes,
sir." "Present my compliments to Lieutenant
Gordon, give him this message, and say that
Gen. McArthur wishes these orders carried out
immediately." "Yes, sir," A salute and he
was gone, In order to get this message to
Lieut. Gordon, he had to cross a place of nearly
half a mile In length, with virtually no pro
tection, and in full view of the enemy. He did
it, and did it successfully, and a few minutes
afterwards the deep-toned roars of the Charles
ton's guns followed by the unearthly screams
of the shells as they flew over our heads, bore
eloquent testimony to that effect. There was
one chance in a thousand he would come out
unharmed, but notwithstanding the fact that
he went under a heavy cross fire from the
enemy he came oat untouched, and has proven
to the world that other States have their
Hobson's as well as Alabama. I sent you his
picture about three weeks ago. His name is
Hirschell B. Young, of Shelby, N. C. He has
made a record that the corps IsTproud of. his
people will be proud of, and one that the
veterans of the grand old State of North Caro
lina, and North Carolina, herself, may well be
proud of. There are only eight Southern men
out of the fifty-five in our corps, "and It gives
me A thrill of pardonable pride when I think
the man who carried off the honors of the day
and was the most highly commended of them
all, was a Southern man and a North Caro
linian to boot. ..
. Please don't think for a minute that I am
trying to disparage the boys from the North,
I certainly don't mean to. They all did nobly
and bravely and Capt Russel has just cause to
be proud of his corps. I was with Captain
Russel when he gave Yonng his order. After
he had gone Capt. Russel turned to me and
said, "I don't think Young relished that com
mission much." I said "may be not, Blr, but
you wUl see he carries it out." He looked at
me and said, "Why 1" My reply was, "Because
North Carolina bleeds that kind, sir." Capt,

Corporal, hut I knew what North Carolina did
in the last wai. and I judged, and judged cor
rectly, that she would do as much in this one
when it came to a pinch. All of our officers
deserve great credit, for the part they took in
the battle, they showed themselves brave and
competent men ; and having the confidence and
respect of the men, could and did lead them to
well earned success, bout six o'clock at
ight, Sunday, the fifth, the wire was reported
down between the Kansas outpost and the
Captain of the Ports office, and I was ordered
to go there, ask for help and repair it. When
I got there I found the wire was working O. K
and started back again to report to my com
mand, when the Captain of the Port, Lieut.
reunsrentbee, gave me an urgent message for
Captain Lawrence, another one of our officers
delivered it safely and had an idea that my
day's work was done, and was congratulating
myself on coming safely out of the battle and
preparing for a snooze, when Capt. Lawrence
called me, told me to saddle a fresh horse, and
report to him immediately. I did so, when
was handed a large signal lantern and told
to carry it to the Kansas outpost, where they
had neglected to send one. Can't say that
iked it much, but orders are orders, sol took
Jt and started out. The lantern was a very
heavy one weighing at least seventy-five
pounds. I had nothing tostiap it on with, and
had so carry it in my haud for fear of breaking
it. This was a very hard job, but I managed it
K. by resting one end of it on my stirrup
and holding with my right hand, while rien
ing with my left. I made tha first two miles
all right, and feared nothing while going
through the lighted part of the city, but after
that for the next mile and a half I had to go
through a native street, not lighted at all, and
my thoughts were anything else but gay, I can
tell you. Went the first three or four hundred
yards, however, without anything happening
and was beginning to feel somewhat more
cheerful, when "ping, ping!" a Mauser came
whistling over my head and my spirits im
mediately sank to zero again. They had fired
on me from one of the native shacks. I was in
quandary and didn't know what to do. Both
hands were engaged, I could not fight, and if I
ran the horse, there was dangi r of breaking
the lantern. A few paces further on three more
shots'camein rapid succession, one of them so
close that my horse shied and came near throw
ing me. This then decided me, and clapping
the spurs to him I made the next half mile, as
if the devil himself were after me I got there
all right, and for a wonder did not break the
lantern. Well, I guess you a"re tired of hear
ing about the signal corps, so I shall tell you
now about the only Southern organization ,on
the island. The First Tennessee Regiment
Col. Smith in command, put up an elegant
fight at Paco. This was one of the insurgents
trongest positions and it took the hardest kind
of fighting for the Tennessee and Fourteenth
infantry boys to dislodge them. They could
stand everything except the rebel yell, how
ever, but when the Tennessee charged and
gave them that, 'twas more than human flesh
and blood could stand, so they had to retreat.

HOPE FOR AN DREE.
There are still those Profess
sor Nordenskjold among the
number who do not believe that
the aeronaut Andree and his two
companions have perished. In
deed, Professor Nordenskjold is
said to express the utmost cons
fide nee in their return. At any
rate, systematic search for the
missing voyagers is to be con-,
tinued, acd to that end the Dan
ish captain Brun has abandoned
his independent rescue expedi
tion to the east coast of Green
laud, which, it is thought pros
bablp, wss reached by Andree,
and has j ,iaed the Nathorst ex
prditior, which is organizing to
prcsscuts search in that quarter.
Professor Nathorst will start
wish a strong steam whaler in
June, and endeavor to force a
passage through the icebarriers
oq the coast of East Greenland,
near ihe most northern point
reached by the German Polar ex
pedition Cape Bismarck. He
will then try to push northward.
ither by sledges or boats. Is is
not proposed to winter in the
region, but it may be necessary
to do so. The enterprise is guar
antced by the offer of a Nor
wegian merchant, Herr Hammer,
of Cnristiania, to eauin the
steam whaler Recla for the ex
pedition.
Professor Nathorst thinks that
iuming Andree did reach the
most northern pare of the East
Greenland coast, it is not impos
sible that the rest of the time
available for travelling in 1897
and the summer of 1898 was ins
sufficient to allow him to make
he Danish Government settle
ment and the Herrnhut Mission,
established four years ago in the
most northerly Colony of the
Eskimos, at Angmagsalik, in
sixtysix degrees north. But he
argues that the fiords, which run
deep inland, with their plentiful
fauna and musk oxen, encourage
the hope that Andree and his
companions would be able to sup
port themselves.
As encouraging further the
hope that Andree and his com
panions may still be alive, it may
also be stated that the aeronauts,
anticipating that their balloon
might fail to bear them to within
riking distance of civilization
or seme Arctic station, had pro
vided themselves with equipment
for travelling over the ice. and
with provisions for a consider
a'le stay in the frczen zone. The
balloon left Danes Island, July
11, 1897, acd although the voyage
was made on the theory that it
would be carried across the pole
and to civilization within a very
short time, and the gas supply
only admitted of its being kept
floating for a limited period,
Andrea- was not overconfident
than his theory would work out.
At the same time he was not
alarmed at the prospect of its
not doing so, and had full con
fidence in his other resources.
When on the eve of his departure
from the island he was asked
when news of Lim might be ex
pected, he replied: "At least not
before three months, and one
year, perhaps two year?, may
elapse before you hear from us,
but you may one day be surprised
by news of our arrival some
where." Andree's companions
were Nils Strindberg and Knut
H. P. Fraenkel.
