Exum on his plantation in Saulston township Friday. Every township school trustee and eyery district school commit teeman in Wayne County should attend the meeting of these of ciahs called by the Countv Board of bchool Directors for Wednes day, August 30, in this city. Owing to the inclement weather the game of base ball which was to have been played: between the Goldsboro and Mt. Olive teams to-day, has been posponed until next .b riday. Sheriff Scott received notice on Friday to look out for and arrest a colored woman named Nancy Smith, who is wanted in Greene county for shooting and killing white man named Burns, near Jason. A new cash register has been introduced in Goldsboro . which does the work of a cashier and kookkeeper in an accurate manner The mechanism of the machine is simply wonderful.

Blount, of Snow Hill, and neice of Mr. Tins.. Edmund Eon and Mrs. Will Winslow, of this city, occurred August 17, at the home of her father near Snow H'll, after nn illness of 21 weeks. She was a . most amiable "young lady and her untimely death is deeply deplored. The funeral was held on Saturday and the inter ment was made in the family burying ground of her late mother, near Stantbnsburg. It matters not what- the con dition of the weather is; the "Walnut Street Hustler, Mr. F. B. Edmundsop, is always busy during legitimate sales hours, lie keeps for sale something to eat as well as something to wear, and people have to- eat in bad weather as well as. in good. The reason of his success is no secret . He is a firm believer in printer's ink and uses the" columns of the Ajigus continually to tell the people of the bargains he has" to" offer.

WET0LDYQUS0 The Argus is pardonable for heading these remarks as above, for we have persistently urged upan our farmer readers and with some degree of success the wisdonuan advantage of giv ing more attention to the rais ing of cattle, beef, hogs and mut ton for market; and indeed we have been gratified at watching the growth of industry year by year among our farmer " readers in this section, as evidenced by the increasing number of cattle that .are marketed here year in year out. As a pointer of the. times, and as an encouragement and induce ment to our farmer readers along this line, we quote with interest the following from last Wednes - J day's issue of the New York Evening Post: "Not only will housekeepers pay their butchers three cents a pound more for beef this week than they did las, with the pro babilities in favor of their pay mg still more before the cold weather sets in, but prices of some other meats have already gone up, and still other are like ly to follow. Porterhouse steak cannot be bought now in New York less than - from 25 .to 28 cent?, per pound; sirloin is from 18 to 20 cents. The butchers ex pect a stampede for other and cheaper meats, but customers will be disappointed. Pork has gone up. 2f cents a ponnd in the last eight days. Loins ' which.. sold at 8 cents Are now bringing lOi cents. Mutton, as yet, re tains its former price; but when the demand for it increases the butchers assert that here, too, the price must go up. , What is the reason of this upward tendency of prices?" re peated the head of a large firm. in answering the question. There are not cattle enough on the ranges. Theref might be enough to supply meat m .this country f it could be kept here.but the foreign demands, our population grow?, and the cattle do not grow enough in proportion to these demands. ' I foresee still higher prices. Tc-day cattle on Ihoof in the Western markets bring a bigger prise than they did yesterday." This is encouraging to growers of cattle, sheep, and hog?, and every farmer ought to raise more or less of each. ' ; '- - COMMISSIONERS COURT. The Board met in called session, resent, E. A.

MR. Disfranchise The Negro. Richmond Times. Rev. Dr. L. G. BrQughton, southern preacher, has been telling the New York peop some interesting things about the negro. In a recent discourse he said that ; the solution of the negro problem was to be found in the repeal of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments of the Federal Constitution, or words to that effect. That politics was at the bottom of the negro trou hie, nd that if the negro should Da deprived of his right to vote P-til he should be qualified from an educational and moral stand Pint to exercise the privilege of franchise, raue antagonism would soon be extinguished. i.ae jrniiaaeipnia rimes . re views ur. Uroughton's sermon inextenso, and while it does not absolutely commit itaplf t.n h is .w proposition, it does not take issue with him, and concludes Uts article with this significant paragraph ne peopie or tne ortn, since I t C T I 1 . t . i . ttie war have been content to Met the colored people of the gouth wrk fc , Qn . vaa tio but it looks as if ti has come for some united action auu a uuai sebiieiuenii or me pro blem J-ne j lmes nas long since maue up its mind on tnis que !.- llon ana nas Qot nesitated to say Constitution which confer the right of suffrage upon the negro should be forthwith repealed We say this not in any spirit of enmity towards the negro, but in the interest of peace' and law and good government, and in the in terest of both races. From the time that the ballot was put into the hands of the negro until now he has been tool in the hands of designing politicians and has given abun dant proof that he is not qualified to vote. Moreover this light o suffrage has put false notions into his head and has been the primary cause of the clash be tween tne races, if the negro should be disfranchised he would be a better citizen, he would turn his attention away from politics, which has never 'done him any good, but always evil; to better things, he would take altogether a different view of life, and if the hope were held out to him, as should be done, that he would be admitted into the enjoyment of all the rights of citizenship as soon as he should qualify him self, this would be a stimulus to every black man who had the ambition to better his condition. The objection is raised that this would reduce the South's representation in Congress. Be it so." The South 4 would be x so much better off with the negro eliminated from politics that it could well afford to make - the sacrifice of reduced representa tion. - The people of tbe North are fast opening their eyes to the true condition. The -."Republican party 'would be quite willing to rid itself of the incubus of the negro vote, and we believe that if the 'Southern States should with one acqord petition for the repeal of the fourteenth and fif- heenth amendments of tbe Fed Lral Constitution, their petition . . - ' "would be answered.

SUFFERING IN PORTO RICO. General Davis Does Not Reduce His Estimate of Destitute Porto Ricans. Washington, Aug. 19, Secre tary Root made public to -day the following cablegram from General Davis at Jan Juan, under date of August 18: "I suggest that all relief com mittees in States report the cen tral committee, appointed by jou and all funds collected he deposit ed in New York or Washington to its credit, funds to be used at present for purchase of food, clothing, medicine, etc? At least 1,050 tons of food Bhould be shipped weekly until farther no tice. I have now fairly full re ports from whole plans, I can-i not reduce my previous estimate of 100,000 to bo fed or assisted. 1 am starting public works as rap idly as possible and hope soon to get large numbers on self-sustain ing basis . If local committee acts without concert, duplication and waste would be sure to result. Therefore I suggest a central com mittee to regulate this and would give assurance to contributors that donations will be wisely handled. Send all clothing and medicines offered. Fully one-half beans and rice should be shipped in sacks weighing 100 pounds each, for it must get to the inter ior on pack animals. The sack ing material will be used for cloth- ing. Davis."
