Smith sent to this cffise this morning the first pea blooms of the season. They looked green and vigorous and were iu great contrast to the weather. The death of Mrs. Thcs Kii patrick, nee Miss Willie Best, so long connected with f.he Go!ds; boro Bakery, and who was only recently married, occurred last last at their home in Orang& City, Florida. Gen. Riuhard Nelson, of Balti more, whose accident in falling on the ice in that city some weeks ago and breaking his leg we noted at the time, is in the city, on crutches, but his many friends here will be glad to learn that he is steadly improving. Dave Malacbi, a negro man about 20 years of age, was ar rested yesterday in Selma by the chief of police of that town and brought to this city on the latt train and placed in jail by Sheriff Scott. The negro was wanted for house-breaking, an cffense which he committed last week in the Providence section of this coun ty. Daily Argus of Friday last. While the farmers and mer chants alike throughout this sec tion have their money season in the fall, when the cotton and to bacco is being marketed, the bus iness men and planters on the W. & W. R. R south of here, will soon enter upon their money sea son, which comes at this time as a result of their truck crops. The merchants at all the stations along the line are now displaying heavy stocks of goods to tempt the people into whose hands the money will fall first. The farmers buy goods during the year on time that are to be paid for in the Spring just the same as our farm ers buy expecting to pay in the fall. The prospects for their truck crop are said to be unusually bright, and if the prices are all right a prosperous season is in store for everybody. One Minute Cough Cure, cures. That is what it was made for. As the season of the year when pneu monia, la grippe, sore throat, coughs, colds, catarrh, bronchitis and lung troubles are to be guarded against, nothing "is a fine substitute," will "answer the purpose," or is "just as good'' as One Minute Cough Cure. That is the one infallible remedy for all lung, throat or bronchial troubles Insist vigorously upon haying it if "something else" is offered you. J. H. Hill & Son, Goldsboro, and John ft. Smith, Mt. Olive. Big Deal in State Lands. Charlotte, N, C. March 31 I M. Meekins, an E!:za,beth City lawyer, arrived here to day acd made a big deal in Eastern North Carolina lands. K, S. Finch and W,N.

Some persons, either ignorantly or mali ciously, are trying to spread the impression that the "Doctors are forming a trust." Please read carefally : The physicians have not ad vanced the fees for medical atten tion, but have come to a definite understanding among themselves to have fixed rates, so that they themselves and the public may know they are receiving just treatment. The charges of the physicians of Goldsboro that have been adopted and printed on their fee bill are more moderate than in any other city in North Carolina. We have compared them with those from other towns. In many reepects the rates on the fee biil are less than have heretofore been generally charged in this town. Below are the resolutions setting forth the objects of our society. Please read carefully. The Fee Bills are conspicuously placarded in the physicians' offices for the benefit of themselves and the pubr. lie: ''We, the members of the Wayne County Medical Society, appreciating the beneficial results emanating from op-operative or ganization in the development of the various sphere3 of human ac tivity, are impelled in our pres ent purpose to secure the greatest good, to our patrons and at the same lime to protect ourselves from unjust discrimination by the lpity in failing to recognize and promptly meet their obligations to the medical profession, as they would other business relations, creale this fraternal bond for mu tusl protection. "In this organization of the Phy sicians of Wayne County we ere not unmindful as co-laborers cf the high and ennobling incentives to true charity and philanthropy which have eyer characterized the Doctors of all ages. "This Society will embrace in its membership those who are quali fied to enter the North Carolina State Medical Society, and will be governed by the Constitutional and Ethical provisions as embod ied in the American Medical As sociation. "In order to assure a true and faithful observance of the roles and regulations of th.3 Society, and to expose any infraction or violation thereof, it becomes nec essary to appoint a Board of Cen sors whose duty it shall be to in vestigate and report all derelict tions and delinquencies on the part of the membare, and that this Board shall consist of three msm bers, and in each case of derelic tion or non compliance with the by-laws, upon satisfactory evi dence adduced before the Society, he found guilty of accusation pre- ferred shsll be fined at the discre tion of the Society not less than one dollar ncr to exceed fifty dol lars. "lhat each, member may ex change or present a list of delin quent patrons to the Society or to each member, thereof, so that the Society may determine the class and number of non-paying pa trons in cities and rural districts, so that they shall be debarred from professional attention or pay cash when seeking the same. 'That a due appreciation or re ciprocity is essential between Phy sician and patron, and this Society being organized for the essential protection and good of each, vhen professional antagonism to tbe So ciety's best interests is found to embarrass our professional and humane endeavor by our fraternal organization, we resolve to with draw professional courtesy and consultation whenever sought by those thus opposing.! "That this Society, believing that some general rules should be adopted by the Physicians of towns and country relative to the pecuniary acknowledgement from their patients, it should be a point of honor to adhere to these rules with as much uniformity rs vary ing circumstancus will permit. "Kesolved, That the forego ing resolutions be adopted by the Wayne County Medical Society and that tbe same be subscribed toby each member of the Society "Resolved, That our account's for professional services be ren dered every thirty days, unless "special business relations render the samo inopportune or imprac ticable.

THE AMERICAN SOLDIER. The reports from the Philip pines of the service of our troops thereare of a nature to cause every American heart to swell with pride. There has not been one act of cowardice nor a step of retreat and good generalship has been supported by a soldiery whose couragp, patience and fighting would make the honor page of any country stand more glorious ly forth in its history. The campaign in the East has, however, peculiar qualities which commend those who are engaged in it to the hearts of their count rymen. To-day, and for the past few weeks, it is being fought chiefly by the citizen soldiers, not one of whom has until within a few months seen a shot fired in battle, and they are all conduct ing themselves with the precis ion of regular troops and of vet erans. raKetne list oi Killed ana wounded, whose fearful length is printed from day to day. Thoy are from the volunteers, the boys from the plow, tbe clerks from the stores, and officers who had only until within less than a year looked upon soldiery as a military picnic, a playtime period for ar Qory drills and dances, a matter of uniform and flirtation. Bnt back of this existed th8 real sols dier's spirit, the fighting capacity which belonged to the Old Guard, thearmies of Marlborough, Crom well and Frederick the Great, Being called upon to exhibit it they have responded with such splendid courage that the nation which sent them-iorth begins to realizs the potentiality of the race and to know that it is a peos pie of strength in war as in the other channels through which it has attained grandeur. Not one child dies where ten formerly died from croup. People have learned the value of One Minute Cough Cure and use it for severe lung and throat troubles, it immediately stops cough ing.

A startling incident, of which Mr. John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject, is narrated by him as follows: "I was in a most dreadful condition, My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite gradually growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. Fortunately, a friend advised 'Electric Bitters';' and to my great joy and surprise, the first bottle made a decided improvement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they saved my life, and robbed the grave of another victim." No one should fail to try them. Only 50cts. a bottle, at J.'. H, Hill & Son's drug store, "What Shall nan Give ? The " solemq question cornea home to almosj every man some period iq his career. "What will you give in ex, change fos your life ? " 1 is like that other solemn question about the soul. Tust as an honest man feels that nothing of earthly value can be weighed against his soul so a man who has one, friend to love him knows that life is too precious to be bartered awav for am bition, or money, or pride. But men are slow to believe that over work sometimes kills; a man hates to ad mit that his health ever needs any particu lar care. He feels miserable and "out of sorts" but tries to "bluff it off" until he gets flat on his back, unable to do a stroke of work. He becomes obliged to spend no Bd of money for doctors and even at that can hardly save his life. How much more sensible, and in the end how much cheaper at the first signs of phy sical weakness to write to Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y., and obtain, free of charge, the ad vice of a skilled and educated physician who has a wider reputation for the success ful treatment of chronic diseases than any other physician in this country. In a letter to Dr. Pierce, Mr. J. W. Brittin, of Clinton, Dewitt Co., Ills., (P. O. Box 475), writes: " For over a year I was troubled with liver com plaint. Had no appetite, could keep nothing on my stomach, and had severe pains in my stomach and bowels. I doctored with home doctors but did not obtain relief until a friend advised me to take Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. 1 began taking it at once and after taking four bottles I think myself cured, as I Can eat anything I want and my food never hurts me."

Daily Argus of Saturday. On the morrow throughout the Christian world the glad song will' be, Christ is risen from the dead, and men and angels will sing Hal lelujahs to the resurrected Lord. Flower-decked altar?, pealing or gans, glorious Te Deums and worshipping millions, throughout the Christian world, will proclaim the grandest truth ever giren to man, that death has been con quered by the Sun of Gd! On that first Easter day, in far away Judea, the angel who kept watch in the rock-hewn tomb told the story of the resurrection of the body which through the ages has brought comfort to countless millions of . bleeding hearts who mourned their dead. "He is not here; He is risen," has been whispered by the voices of angels to hearts that cried out in agony above newly made graves through the centuries that make up the world's history. To the souls that have been crucified on dark Good Fridays the beautiful story of the Resurrection brings hope and comfort. Because the tomb where the Saviour lay is empty, save for the white-winged angel who guards the sacred spot, Christendom rf joices and keeps the glorious Easter Day. The agony of the cross is past; the silent sleep in the tomb is over; the risen Christ proclaims that 'deatb is swallowed up in victory" and saints on earth and saints above sing hallelujahs to ''Him who hath put all things under His feet, even that last enemy, Death." Easter lilies, like sweet white swinging censers, will carry the story of the Resurection far out upon the winds of heaven; human voices will chant songs of tri umph in God's temples and holy priests will tell of the love and sacrifice of the blessed Saviour for mankind. The beautiful Eas ter Day finds the world eager to listen to the story of the Resur rectiou, whether told in song, in the fragrance of spring, ft jwers or from the lips of priest and pastor. - -. The world is growing better and each Easter Day finds it a step advanced towards tha miU lenium time. ' Those accustomed to welcome Easter with reverent rejoicing, as a day of the highest spiritual significance, aie apt to feel .re gretful, if not resentful, at the apparent secularization of this "queen of feasts,",in the popular observance that has in f ecent years become' so conspicuous. The decoration of the shops, the display of flowers in the streets, tbe Easter emblems., in the win dows, sefcm to cheapen the exalted sentiment of the day. Yet all these things are in a sense a tri bute to the power of the Resur rection, a &ign of theiufluence of the Christian faith even upon the worldly lives of worldly men and women. It is cemmonly sa'd that oar English name for Easter is derived from that of a pagan festival to the goddess of SpriDg; and indeed it is easy to believe that as soon as men began to think at ail they must have as sociated some idea of tbe &uper natural with the reawakening of the earth after the apparent death of winter, - and would naturally set apart a season of thanksgiving to tho unknown Lbeneficence that crowned the coming spring xith fl werf. Then came the Christian church pro claiming the mystery of the R urrection, and all the iuchoate levotions of natural religion were gathered up and mada an act of faith in the triumph of tha risn Lord. THE PEN UETS $10,000. Committee's Warrant Endorsed by Capt Day. Raleigh News acd Observer. The penitentiary appropriation deadlock was broken yesterday. And the public till is this morning -$10,000 poorer because of the break, that amount being paid by State Treasurer Worth to the extcutive committee of the new board. He refused on WtdaesiUy, it will bo remembered, to honor the order of the cornmittep, Messrs, Oiborr, and Travis, for this amount. This refusal he based on the ground that the question of the right to manage the penis tentiary now b.ing in litigation he could not pay out the State's money until officially advised by the court as to who was the proper persoQ to receive it, The failure to get this money made things lock quite serious for thepenitentiary.lt would buy many things this f 10 000 -for many things were needed by the institution and there were no funds with which to purchase If crops were to be raised on the State farms they must first be planted. To do this new stock and farming implements must be obtained, fertilizars must be pur chased and seeds bough'; to say nothing of supplies for the cons viets. The Fusiouists had let th'ngs generally go to wreck and ruin. To repair the damage the L?gis lature had appropriated $50,000. and now because of litigation over the management of the in stitution the appropriation was not available, the State Treasurer not caring ter take any chance on the decision of- th9 Supreme court. The Gordian knot was cut by Captain Day, As the money was to be spent in improvements that must be made, no matter which side won, he yes erday morning endorsed the warrant of the exe cutive committee of tha new board. This done the State Treasurer was relieved of all re sponsibility and he promptly forked over the $10,000. "The .penitentiary ought not to be crippled," said Capt. Day, "and if mules and supplies are to be bought they ought to be bought now. My adyice to the committee now in control is to go on regardless of the pending de cision as if they were going tc fun the institution for all time. I want the penitentiary to be self sustaining. I want it to be sue cessful, no matter whose" hands it's in." - The warrant was signed by "E. L. Travis and W. H. O-sborn, executive committee of the board of directors," , and endorsed by 'W H Day- superintendent of the penitentiary." ' - Mr. Travis left on the noon train for the State farms, to make some further investigation as to the manner in which this money ought to be expended.
