Tn tbe Superior Court this afternoon the case of Eugene Scales, tbe negro who entered the bed room of Miss Rebecca Lang&ton seme time ago about 2 o'clock in the morning, the particulars of which are familiar to the readers of theARGUS, was called up for a hearing and the negro submited to a charge cf burglary in the second degree. This turn of the case may seem somewhat strange to the public, but Solicitor Pou informs the Argus that the young lady's father, Mr. Joa. Langston, has called on him and asked that the verdict be what it is, saying that he believed that the negro entered bis bouse through mistake and that he did not wish to se him hung. Solicitor Pou says also that it can be proven that the negro was drunk immediately before and after entering tbe house, and if it were not for these mitgating circumstances, he would put the negro on trial for his Jife. LATER: Since the above was in type Scales has been sentenced tu 20 years in the penitentiary. CAPUDINE CORES HEADACHE, Neura'Qia. Sick Headache. LaGn'DDe Pains.

Men Are Making Money Planting Rir8 Rice Straw is Ya li able. The other day a merchant who had been out of business for sev eral years, and has 'just begun to sell goods again, said that within a few years the methods of mer chandising have greatly changed. This is true, no doubt. But not only have the mer chants adopted new methods, but the farmers have be'en equally active. Successful farming know ing where to plant, how to plant, when to plant, and what to plant, demand as much close thought and reasoning as does any other kind of business for farming is just as much a business as is merchandising or banking. The rapid decline in the price of cotton, rendering the yield on ordinary land below the cost of production, forced all intelligent farmers to the conclusion that they must turn their attention to the cultivation of other crops, and they must adopt the most busi ness-like and economical methods of farm management. Consequent ly, many farmers, whose lands are suitable, began to raise to bacco; others have cultivated strawberries, Irish potatoes, let tuce, and various kinds of track for market. The results, too, have been most gratifying, and not withstanding the hard times a great many farmers are making money, erecting new buildings, and improying their farms. But to our mind, there is open to our farmers of Eastern North Carolina a big field for money making which is being neglected. That is the cultivation of rice. With keen foresight- some men have seen that there is money to be made by planting rice, and last year those who were so fortunate as to have rice to sell were hap- i y, indeed, over the fine prices they received. The high prices are due to several causes. First, on account of its wonderful value as a food, the consumption of rice is rapidly increasing not only in America but all over the world. In the second place, the recent act of Congress placing a duty on rice having largely shut out for eign competition, American rice commands a .much higher price than in former years. Now there are hundreds of thousands of acres of land in Eastern North Carolina unprofitable to cultivate in other crops that vrill produce fine rice. In this connection, we desire io empasize the fact that ric3 can bo grown profitubly on a great deal of high land. We knew a man to plant two acre3 of sour upland in ric?. The season was ocly mod erately favorable, but there was a clear profit on the rice of a little over fifty dollar?, and the straw was carefully stacked and fed to the hois, which did just as well on the rice straw as did his neigh bor's horses on fodder. The same land would not have produced more than three birrdls of corn. In fact, there has gotten to be a regular demand for rice straw t about six dollars per ten. Conse quently m case of a severe drought resulting in partial or complete failure of the rice, the straw itself more than pays all the expenses. Last year many farmers cleared over sixty dollars per ecre on rice. ' The further fact., that the rice crop when harvested both the grain and the forage, can await its own time for market, gives the farmer who plants rice a great ad vantage orer the farmer who plants only tobacco or truck, the latter especially being -ephemeral and mast be sold promptly at whatever price, wnile tobacco, too, must be speedily put on the mar ket after curings Not so with rice. And yetthe detjnand for rice is al ways firm, and it is one of .the few food prod acta that cannot be adulterated. Goldsboro is the centre of a fine farming; section admirably suited for flowing rice, and is the best rice market in the State. Hence our .' surrounding farmers can always be sure of getting here the very best market price for their, rice. Quaint Baying. Tt Is interesting and instructive to read bright and well constructed ad vertisements. Messrs, C, I. Hood & Co., of Sai-saparil'a fame, must have been at a great feast and taken every thing home with, them. They are using a bright select! oa of quaint old sayings and proverbs as the- starters m a series of advertisements, wherein the pro verbs are neatly turned and para phrased to fit the subject matter. The public like this breezy, advertising, as it reminds of othr pr fverbs and opens up discussion. '. PETERSON RENOMINATED. He Will be Goldiboro s Chiel Executive for the Next Two Years. A LAEGE CONVENTION. Daily Argus of Tuesday. The largest conyention of Goldsboro Democrats ever known was held in the Messenger Opera House last night, there being 499 registered votes cast for Mayor, besides a number of spectators who did not vote. Three names wereput in nomi nation for Mayor, Messrs. F. W. Hilker, Jno. H. Hill and J. E. Peterson, the present progressive and popular incumbent. The majority rule was adopted and the convention proceeded to ballot, the name of every voter being recorded by the secretary, and when the ballot was closed and the recorded names counted it was found that 499 had yoted, and when the ballots were can yassed Capt, J. E. Peterson scored 299 The vote was an nounced amid great enthusiasm, and on motion the nomination of Capt. Peterson was declared unaminouf, and in response to vociferous calls that gentleman appeared on the stage, and in graceful language accepted the nomination, and pledged himself to yet greater tfforts for the ad vancement of Goldsboro, which has always progressed under his previous administrations. The large convention that as sembkdjast night indicates the lively interest cur citizens take in the public weal, and is the most gratifying evidence poss:ble that we have a live town which means a progressive town and the large vote and handsome majority by which Copt Peterson was re-nom-inattd is an earnest that the peo ple endorso his public-spirited and progressive administration and wish it continued. That Capt. Peterson will be elected goes with the nomination, and that he will give to Goldsboro a live, fesrhss, fair and progress ive administration is assured. We go forward.

Died, at his home in Wayne coun ty, on Monday night, March-27th, after a long and painful illness, Mr. Dock Hookp, in the 65th year of his age. For many loDg and weary month? he was the victim of Bufferings that were intense and beyond tbe power cf language to express, and which only powerful remedies could barely alleviate, yet a'l these were borne with a patience that seemed almost an gelic. " -To all of us, life, even with its toils, struggles, disappointed hopes and ambition?, is sweet, and to him, in his old age, with so many bright anticipations to be filled, it must have been very dear, yet he saw, without a murmur of complaint against this dispensa tion of his Saviour, the grim shadows of the valley of death closing around him and blotting out from his sight all his cherished visions of earthly happiness. That the end would be soon he believed and with the "peace which pass- eth all understanding" ho resign edly accepted the fact and looked beyond tho ftoeting shores of earth to joy unending in a man sion not made by hands. His own dim life had taught him this : Thai life shall live forevermore, Else earih ii darkness at the core, And dust and ashes all that is. - It was his happiness to know that relatives, friends and stran gers ministered unceasingly with tender and kindly hands to his wants in his last days end scothed as far as in them lay his pangs of suffering, and he evinced the deep est gratilu le for the 'untiring ef forts of his physicians t) afford him the relief which it was beyond mediccl ekill to give. Surrounded by his wife and a few of his chi'dren, he passed peacefully into rest, and on Tues day, the 28 ih in&tant, hfs mortal remains were consianed to the grave, toe iuneral services being conducted by bis spiritual adviser, Rev. Dr. F. D. Swindell. The dead rest well. At moon less midnight or matin prime, they lift not up their covering verdure, Suns may rise and moons may set for him in vain, but we know there .is a home biyond this earth where his long enduring suffering will receive its reward, where goodness is eternal and where the rosas never die.

GOVERNOR STEPHENS O ' His Family Joins Him in Sincere Praise of Paine's Celery Compound. Lon V.Stephens is the first native born Governor of Missouri; neighr boring Kentucky has furnished the rest. As chief executive of the State of Missouri his policy is business-like, economical and progressive. Gov. Stephens frankly and freely recommends Paine's celery com pound. He has been greatly bene fited by it, and whenever there is Bickness in his family Paine's celery compound is the remedy that is used. As a wituess to the wonderful ef ficacy of this remedy, especially in spring, the experience of the Chief executive of the State told in the following letter cannot be slighting ly passed over. Executive Department, State of Missouri, Jefferson City, Feb. 8, 1899. Gentlemen: I have used Paine's celery com pound, keep it in my house for fam ily use, and. find it a splendid rem edy. LON V. STEPHENS. Why is Paine's celery compound to-day the most successful spring remedy in the world? It is so wonderfully successful simply because it accomplishes in every instance exactly what is claim Organdy weather. It's time to be thinking about your Summer clothes NOW, if you'want to get the pick of the whole stock. We have an abundance of cool fabrics in our wash goods stock, but to-day we will fell you about only two. Pina Organdy. This is a sheer, finely woven cloth, stamped in most pleasing combinations of colorings, in the most delicate of French patterns. " Several of our customers have asked us if the price were not 2$ cents. They are only Ej See for yourself if they are not worth 25 c. Dotted Swiss Mull - Another cool fabric, woven with dots of ' yarious shapes and sizes. Besides, the whole cloth has colored figurings of the newest designs. The price of this is also 1 5c H.WeilBBros ed for it. And of what other remedy can that be said? Every form of nervous trouble, whether localized in the muscles, heart, brain, or in the nerves them -selves, is cured to stay cured by Paine's celery compound. Every kind and degree of impoverishment of the system is overcome by this greatest of all invigorators after other remedies have shown no bene ficial effect. It is the spring remedy vouched for by physicians, teachers and well read, well informed men and women in every part of the country. People are everywhere dying of exhausted nervous energy or drag ging out their lives in pain and dis comfort, because of sleeplessness, nervousness find fagged-out brains. The objective point of Paine's celery compound in successfully curing such nervous troubles is to feed the nerves, build up the wasted brain parts, nourish the tissues and in crease the constructive capacity of the blood. Health and renewed life to all the nervous tissues thus takes the place of the lethargy and the de bility of disease, when Paine's celery compound is employed. No one will need to be told that Paine's celery compound does its best work now as spring comes on. These early spring days encourage getting well. Nervous diseases are less stubborn and debility yields more quickly now than at any other time. It will astonish every one who knows Paine's celery compound on ly by hear-say, to try it now and to see the change from a yellow, sallow complexion to a fresh, healthy colorj headaches will wholly cease: sleep will refresh and the mind grow clear. By means of this great modern rem edy the liver that has been sluggish all winter becomes active, and bil ious attacks and poisonous head aches and the diseases akin to rheu matism which are its result, are cut short. If it were possible to make a house-to-house canvass of families where Paine's celery compound is being used during these early spring days, an overwhelming amount of evidence would appear showing the implicit confidence that is placed in the greatest of all spring remedies! and the enormous number of people who are being cured of some form of nervous troubles, sleeplessness indigestion, headaches, neuralgia heart troubles or a general "run down" condition.
