Blount, near Snow Hill, was de stroyed by fireFriday night.the or igin, of which is unknown. Mr. Jno. A. King reopened his restaurant over the saloon of Mr. J. M. Granthem on Monday night. He will keep this season the same splendid bill of fare that made .his iectaurant so popular with the public last season. The Old Goldsboro Tobacco Warehouse had a big sale Thurs day. Most of their tobacco came from Duplin county and all weut away delighted with the price. The general average price in this large sule was 7 ctnls. Mr. X. H. StantoD, the bicycle dealer and repairer, is constantly increasing his business. He is an expert with a wheel aud knows just what to do with one out of re pair. He has a number of new wheels which he is offering at re duced prices. Hod. F. M. Simmons was iu here between trains Saturday, re turning frcm Km ton, where he defsuded Messrs.

The enrollment fct the white Graded School dow numbers more than 700, the largest in the history of the school. This is the most popular institution in Goldsboro and under the competent and pro gressive superintendency of Prof. J. 1. Foust its popularity is con stantly increasing. That Goldsboro is the best cot ton market in the State all the year round is a fact that has long eince been ettstblishtd in the cx perience tf tuoe who fetli coilon. Cotton brought readily 6 cents in Goldsboro Friday the best price paid anywhere, and right abreast of New York. The city and township tax col lectors of Goldsboro and all along the line of the A. & N. C. K. R. have been restrained from collect ing taxes due by that road under an order issued by judge Simoctjn, of the U. S. District Court, and served by Deputy Marshal Dr. Perkins. Sheriff Scott left last week with two negro convicts for the State prison at Raleigh, one go ing for three years and the other for five years, both convicted at the recent term of Superior Court of larceny. The Albino, Mamie Fisher, was carried off too, to the penitentiary for three years. 'She was also con victed of larceny. The case of Mr. W. D. C. Rich ardson against the W. & VV. R. Li. terminated on Wednesday occu pying the time cf t'ae Court for two days. On mot ion by the defendant to dismiss'' the suit 'for lack of evidence, His honor Judge Moore granted the motion and the plain tiff took aa. appeal, to. the -Su preme Court. Every inch of ground was contested by - berth' sides with great ability, . ,. , Messrs Edge-ton & Hollowell, the proprietors of themagnificent brick sale stables adjoining the AR0US oihee, have' just received a car load of the celebrated Auburn Wagons, which are on display at beiE stables. They are beauties and are much admired by those who nse such, articles. They are indispensable on the farm and last longer and run lighter than any make on the market. , ; 1 . Mr. Horace E. King left Fri Jay for Richmond, Va., where he goes to accept a position with the w.ell -known and reliable Richmond Lo comotive Works. His duties will . 'be to deliver locomotives to pur chasers and put them, in satisfac tory operation at their destination. It would be hard for tta Rich mond Locomotive Works to have selected a more competent . "aan for this work, as Mr. King is re puted, and holds the confidence of all who know him, as being one iho most thorcugh locomotive engineers and machinists in the country. A gentleman from the country informs the Argus that the county road leading out from this city to the covered bridge across Neuse river is in very bad condition. This is oce of the prominent roads leading in to the city andthe proper authorities should see to it that the road is kept in good condition at this time of the year, when the farmers are bringing their produce to market. The Argus takes pleasure in referring to the success of Mr. F. B. Edmundson. "The Hustler' in the mercantile business, be cause he has secured his large and constantly increasing trade by having recourse at all times to the columns of this paper, as he says himself. During the course of his business career, his name and business has been con stantly before the people of this section and to-day F. B. Ed- muDSOQ and general merchandise are inseparable in -the minds of the trading public. The management cf the State Penetsntiary under the fusion crowd is a burning shame, and the treatment of the eonvicts, as de tailed in the evidence before the committee, is horrible to think of. In the campaign last year, Demo cratic speakers from the moun tains to the sea proclaimed the troth, and uo greater truth came from the lipg of man, that unless redeemed from radical fusion rule, the bid State with her history and her memories would be ruined and ruined forever. Bat with all the short comings of the party in power, no one dreamed that with in the bounds of North Carolina helpless human beings, God's creatures, were suffering and be ing punished as the witnesses de clare the State convicts suffered and were punished. It is a blot, 3 eg, nore than a blot, it is a black page in te annals of North- Car olina. Let the matter be carefully, patiently investigated and let the heartless, pittiless, cowardly men who so brutally treated friendless convicts suffer the full penalty of the law. The Democratic party is tut Low cf th buic. LT. GULICK'S KECK L ITS. Twenty-Four nliated for the First Ten Days. Daily Argus, Thursday last. The ten days in which Lt. J. W.

Aud lis Relation to the 100.000 Appro priation for Public Sctiool. The Superintendent of Public Instruction has issued the follow ing letter to the County Superin tendents of Schools: . k. Dear Sir: - I have had some enquiries as to whether a delay iu sending the census reports to this office inOjtober would affect the apportionment to the counties of the f 100,000 appropriation. . FirsY I will say the census that is now being taken is not to be reported to this office until July, 1900, when your regular annual report4s made. This census you are now tak ing is for the scholastic year 1899 and 1900, which began July 1st, 1899, and will end June 30tb, 1900. You will see on page 45 Pamphlet of School Law, that in January, 1900, we will use as the basis -of apportionment at this time "the school census of the previous scholastic year." ; Therefore the school census of the scholastic year 1898 and 1899 will be used. This census is in cluded in the last annual reports sent to this office in July of the present year. Tbe census should, however, be completed promptly by Octo ber lsf, as required, by law so tha County Boards may know how to apportion the school fund. Speakinp, approximately, will say that you may expect about 16 cants por capita for your school population from the 100,000 appropriation. Yours truly, C. H. Mebaen, Superintendent Public Instruc tion. DBWEI AND BUY A J Hon. F. M. Simmons Talks of Presidential Members. The Nw York World publish es the following: New York," Sept. .17. Hod. F. M.

Goldsboro Should be Represented at the Great Southern Industrial Convention The convention that is to be held at Huntsvillp, Ala., beginning Oct. 10 should surely contain repre sentatives from Goldsboro. It is to be a gathering of -strong men, and the subjacts to be discussed touch the interest of every town in the South every man's pocket for that matter. The convention promises to be a memorable event in the history of Southern Indus tries. The scope in industrial am bition in this section will be cov ered, and every day's discussion will be of deep interest. 'More ca pable and efficient and successful and practical men will, gather at Huotsville in October than have come together at any previous time in the South; for the con vention has grown from a modest beginning to a great event of Dromise to all this section of the country. The great theme at Huntsville will be the upbuilding of the South, and this theme will be con sidered in all its branches and ramifications. The up-building process will be outlined by prac tical men, who know how to do it who are in the work, and who can therefore speak with the knowledge that springs from ex perience. The Gcldsboro Chamber of Commerce should see to it that Goldsboro is fitly represented in this great convention. Goldsboro is capable more capable than any town, in cur knowledge, tf growing into the most populous and prosperous city in the State; but to do this we must let our advantages and su perior merits be known at their full worth abroad. The WorJd's Industrial Activity. American Manufacturer. Economists, political writers and theorists a few years ago wrote essays during a dull period to the effect that the world was suffering from under consump tion, while others held that the curse of overproduction haunted the world. Many believed that the monetary system was to blame, while politicians argued that free trade and protection were each to blame, according to their party affiliations. There has been no change in the financial system; the tariff has not been tampered with; production has increased out of all proportions with past progress, but consumption has out-distanced All this is brought about during a period of war and. rumors of war. The United States - was oh the eve of a boom when the Span ish war, was declared. .The strug gle, in tbe Philippines has not re tarded it any more than the; pre vious conflict . did, England's threatened trouble with the Boer Republic does not retard the rush of trade in the British islea The empire in all its' parts was never so crowded with v evidences of prosperity. FrOm'the Cape of Good Hope to Alexandria Bay, in, Af rica, the rush of commerce is ev idenced, 'India's progress is mar velous., China and Japan and ' the whole Orient are - bending their energies to keep step with the procession. ' " , Russia can be credited with causing much of the bustle and hurry. The development of Si beria is a remarkable work. It will insure a ' continuance of at least two more years of prosper ity for the world in the metal ins dustries. The example set by the United States to the effect that to excel in war a nation' must al so excel in industry and com merce, has changed the politi cal situation of the world.

" The lime has passad, at least for tha present, when we could congratulate ourselves as a na- tion that we are free from tne burden of an immense military establishment such as the great governments of Europe main tain. -' ' ' : yWe. need waste no more sym pathy upon the masses1 of the people of those lands, out of whose hard earnings must be contributed the millions which are required to pay the expenses of militarism. . Even before we went to war with Spain our military expendi tures were considerably larger than those of the governments of Europe, with their huge stand ing armies. 1 he last fiscal year before the war with Spain ended, June 30, 1897, in that year we spent for the army $37,131,918; navy, $34, 972,479; pensions, $141,053,165; tota', $213,157,562. This enorm ous unproductive military ex penditure is to be compared with that of England, $195,535,972; of Germany, $173,800,928; of France, $183,750,766; of Italy, $73,364,526. For England the figures here given refer to the year ended March 31, 1898; for Germany, to 1898-99; for France and Italy, to 1899 years of in creased expenditure. Our war expenditures were far ahead of those of any European nation before we began our ad venturous career of expansion, and now we have distanced the nearest competitor in this line. For the present year our war ap propriations aggregate $273, 764. 118, and it is certain that we will have a very large deficit on this score. - But, it is argued, we have such vast resources that this burden, which would be crushing to other nations, is a mere bagatelle to us, Lat us see about that. We must bring the calculation down to a per capita basis. We have been accustomed to consider Italy as a country shamefully overwhelmed for military pur poses. Italy spends this year on the military account $2 32 for every man, woman and child of her population. This is heavy, but how do we stand? Our expenditure on the military account this year as already pro vided for will be $3.91 for every man, woman and child in the United States, estimating our population at 75,000,000. Germany maintains a standing army of 585,440 mm and a navy almost as large as . ours, and ; yet Germany is spending only $3,33 per capita against our $3,91, .France has a navy surpassed only by" that of England, and a standing army nearly as" large as Germany's. She beats us a little on war expenditur es, her per cap ita being $4.77, but at the present rate we will catch 'and. 'pass her before long. England,, with more territory even on this5 continent than we own, with possessions in every part of the globe, . with a navy larger than r ours and- those of any" otlier two powers put' to gether, and with a monarchical es tablishment whose pin money" . amounts to more than the salaries of our president, ell of tbe cabinet and the i supreme court of the United States, spends' to hold her vast possessions and to keep up her mighty . army and navy, to which she has but recently appro priated $.125,000,000, only $5.13 per capita. ' We ar8 of ten told that the true . American spirit will not permit England to beat us at any thing, and we may soon reach he British standard of warXexpendi tures without having anything like as much to show for them . We are cutting a gay figure in deed. '- v ' Paris, Sept. 21. Dreyfus' par don was published today.

Hon. William O. LoTerlng'a demonstra tion of ThreaCatton Bales Vnroillng Automatically. Boeton Transcript. - Hon. William C. Livering has returned from Europe where he has bean looking after tha inter ests of : the American Cotton Company. He found the spin ners of England and the Contin ent using the Rjuudlap Bale with the greatest satisfaction. They are keenly a'iva to all th2 money saving advantages of the new system. The ease with which the ba'e is ha died in transit and at th mill dei'ghts them. The lo cost of freight and . insurance. th9 immunity from fire in the m:ll and the fact that there are no hoops, wires or metal of any kiai used in baling are features that espec ially appeal to the thrifty Euro pean spinners. Mr. Lovering had the . oppor tunity- to address a meeting of prominent cotton manufacturers of Lancashire on the merits of the Roundlap Bale, and by the courtesy of Messrs. Howard & Bullougb, of Accringtoa,they were invited to witness a demon stration of the running cf three bales of cotton directly on the apron of a scrutcher. NothiLg could have been more perfect or absolutely satisfactory than the working of the cotton in this way. The scrutcher was started with three bales upon the apron and ran off at once without a hitch or interruption. The noise made by the beaters was a steady deep and healthful hum, showing that the machine was doing its work without laboring in th9 least. The lap that was clean and even running, weighing six teen ounces to the yard. The spinners took the great est interest in the demonstration and with one accord expressed their complete satisfaction with the operation. They said that they saw in the new system a great revolution in cotton manu ¬ facturing. They are all anxious to buy the new bale, and are ready to give orders at once. They were surprised and grat ified to see that the scutcher was an ordinary scutcher, such as they were using in all their mills They had been led to think that it required special machinery for the purpose whereas it only re quired a little heavier apron to carry the bales or laps, weight. ing two hundred and sixty pounds eacb.
