C THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15. 1900. NO 19 , -i -1 ft 3 n 3 , ft 4 HRTIONRL SUNSHINE CUB A BRANCH CLUB IS ORGAN IZED IN GOLDSBORO. Mrs. S. S. Spier Elected jPresident Tlie 'Rambler" is Solicited to Join : He Will Be With the Cluh in Spirit and Pen, But Not in Person, as His "Incog." Must Be Maintained. Goldsboro is nothing if she is not progressive. Every day the prevalence of this spirit is made manifest in ur midst, and under its inspiring impulses "we go for ward." The latest acquisition of pro gress, and one that is fraught with great opportunities for the ad vancement of Goldsboro, is the organization here yesterday of a branch of the "National Sunshine Club," the object and purposes of which are, as its name suggests, the dispensing of sunshine into everyrday life the speaking of kindly and cheering words and the doing of gentle, generous dteis; and, of course, the abstaining from all uncharitablene? s, or harsh criticism as you live and move and converse with your associates in the community; and the pushing of your town along. And of this branch club, Mrs. S. S. Spier has been eelected President, than whom a better selection could hardly baye been made, for she is the embodiment of all tnat is good, atd charitable, and genera ous and public-spirited in her daily life among ue. And of this club "The Ram bler ' has been asked to become a member. A note to that effect, addressed to him in care of the Argus, was received tbis morn ing, couched in such generous words of comp'iment of the sun- shine that his former writings shed into the lives of Argus readers, that it must have, indeed, been written by aa ideal member of the "Sunthine Club," and so per suasive is it that, while we freely join in spirit aod pen, and shall strive to be in thi3 regard a full fledged member, we sre almost persuaded to tend in our name to be voted on. But, no; it must v go in and be voted on ss dimply "The Rambler," as for many reasons be must remain 'ncosr. And now, beloved for we be gin right here and now to sustain my earnest desire that any dis and advance the cause of the club sensions in our party may be won't you join the "Sunshine speedily healed. I trust the spirit Ciub"? Lay aside all bitterness and resentments and send your name in; for you know the Good Book says, "Hatred stirreth up strifes; but love covereth all sin." Indeed, love of kindness is the inspiration and the stay of all the virtues and all the hsppi ncss that touch ouir lives in this mundane sphere; it is the parent of every worthy trait of charac ter, and without it even gentle manners so essential to all the children of earth who are not eav ages are not always possible. "Whoso is a lover of kindness forgets self always and forgets others never. "He was good to me, he was," sobbed lonely Little Joe, the only watcher by the graveside of the Stranger, And that is a cry that thrills the world's heart forever. Somebody is good to somebody every hour, every moment, and somebody's heart is touched by the tenderest force known to hu manity. Somebody has been good to you, my beloved. Haven't you wandered low in the deeps of great sorrow and felt there the touch of a faithful hand? Haven'c you at some time fallen far, beat en down by some great we'ght of spiritual unrest, when there came to you one little word of kindness and good cheer? Haven't you staggered blindly, with your heart breaking behind tripple barred gates of grief against which you beat as helpless as a broken-winged bird upon the black front of storm, and all the joys of life closed from you. when there came to you some lover of kindness whose whisper lifted you in love and placed you in sunny and smiling garden of happiness? Haven't you felt that all ot life that was dear had pass ed from yoa never to return, when suddenly one word en wrapped you in the glorious folds of superlative human bliss? Ah, my beloved, there was somebody good to somebody and somebody learned anew that the most precious treasures of this life are words of loving kindness. "Kind words are more than coronets," and simple faith more than all the splendor of earthly greatness. And kind words are so simple of speech tnat they flourish as white blossoms rest upon the unrippling waves of gardens that are green smiling in the sunlight of heaven. Speak words of kindness, do deeds of kindness, and all your days shall be blessed upon the earth my beloved. Come, now, wont you send your name in and become a mem ber and embody in our everyday life the purposes of the "Sun shine Club"? EXCHANGE OF COURTESIES. "Durham, November 7. "Hon. P. M. Simmons. "Accept my heartiest congrat ulationa. In all your efforts to promote the welfare of North Carolina and the Democratic party, I pledge my loyal sup port. "J. S. Carr." "Raleigb, Nov. 7. "General J.

Surely nothing shall be left undone on my part to ac complish this much to be dei sired result. 'P. M. Simmons." What it Cost Carr. A newspaper correspondent writing from Raleigh says is said that the primary "It cost Gen. Carr something $50,000. That looks like a large figure, but his liberality is well known. One of his friends told me he believed his campaign in Wake cost him $1,600, while some per sons put the sum as high as $2,- 500. I mm KFNTUGKY MORE TROUBLE BREWING IN THE BLUE GRASS STATE.

Mandamus proceedings are be- mg instituted all over tne orate to force Goebel county boards to count rejected bll )ts.

The insanity of the campaign should be dismissed at once. No voter is wholly depraved because of his vote. Swords, revolvers and bayonets have fallen into disuse in war, and only the cannon and the magazine rifle remain. Out of 325,000 voters in Chicago, 200,000 are of foreign birth, and this makes the city an uncertain political quantity at all times. Those who are possessed with the fear that American writers of fiction ar9 on the wane need only to refer beck a few days and get hold of one of Chairman Jones forecasts. Mr. McKinley will please bear in mind that he has voluntarily taken the responsibility off of Providence, and is, therefore, in honor bound to give us good crops for the next four years. Democaats will be willing to listen to men, like David B. Hill, who put their shoulders to the wheel and pushed, but not to the fellows who stood off and threw rocks in the road. In Kentucky Beckham and Yerkes met and took a drink together. The courteous remark of the Governor I of North Carolina to the Governor of South Carolina is not the worst thing in politics. A fairer and simpler way of set tling political contests in Kentucky would be for the opposing candi dates to walk off ten paces and shoot it out. This would not leave the result so often in doubt. The Vermont Legislature, which is now in session, is about to consid er a bill which provides for the ne gotiation of a loan of $10,000,000 ihe entire sum to be expended on the improvement of the highways of the Green Mountain State during the next two years. Vermont's debt is now about $334,000. Dr. Harper, of the Standard Oil University, has called down the pro fessor who advanced Rokefeller and Hetty Green several numbers be yond Shakespeare and Sappho, and he also rebuked the professor who uses slang, but the particular idiot who denounces public schools is still at large. Colonel John M. Brooke, who de signed the ram Merrimac and thus revolutionized marine warfare, is still living at Lexington, professor emeritus of physics in the Virginia Military Institute. He is now seventy-nine years old, but is still vigorous and walks from his resi decce on the outskirts of the city to the postoffice at tne same hour every morning. Switzerland's universities are still the most popular educational insti tutions in Europe for women stu dents from all parts of the world. Of 850 students at the University of Zurich 218 are women. One hundred and twenty of these are studying medicine, 58 philosophy 21 natural science and 11 jurisprudence. Only 18 are of Swiss nationality. Ninety- seven are Russians, 29 are Americans and 29 are Germans. Will the party profit by the blun ders of 1896 repeated in 1900? If so it will pull itself together, will get I rid of free silverism and the mana- I gers who are responsible for it, re - write an old-fashioned Democratic platform, and invite all the Demo- rofo fn onma Ttoot and Tpovlr n : ii .j.-.j. - . getner in me interest oi xvemocracy. If this shall be done, tne .Democratic party will go on to victory. If it in sists on the policy which; it has pur sued during the past two campaigns it will continue to fail, and sooner or later must degenerate and die. Lord Lansdowne, who is slated for the head of the British Foreign Office, appears to have been born to the purple. He has been in public life about thirty years, and during that time has been a Lord of the Treasury, Undersecretary of War, Undersecretary of India, Governor General of Canada, Governor Gen eral of India, and since 1895 Secre tary of War, and yet he is rated a man of moderate talents and is tremendously unpopular with the people. It has been successfully demon strated not only that horses and mules can be transported to the Philippines, but that a majority of them arrive there in a better condi tion than when they were loaded on the Western coast of the United States. Having reached the Philip pines, experience nas snown they stand the climate as well as that of i "1 4-t 11 J our southern ana outnwestern States, and the mules thrive better than they do in the more varying temperature to be found in America. Never again need a nation hesitate to send along with its advance guard an equal force of horses, or to ask the question, "Can a' horse stand on his legs forty days and land alive?" The student who is watching polit ical currents will turn away from the clumsy and misleading electoral tables to the popular vote, and when this is ascertained in about a week's time, he will compare it with the vote in 1896, and then he will be able to say what the tendency in this country really is. For this purpose he will also need the Debs vote, and all the rest of the eccentric list, In 1896 McKinley received 7,- 107,822 votes. Bryan received, on two tickets. 6,511,073 votes. Out of a total vote of 14,073,285,. McKinley received a clear majority of 284,771. His plurality was 586,747. These are the figures that must be met and studied this year, and we will not know what the drift is, or its extent and scope until we can do this. One curious revelation of the new census is that the center of popula -tion has moved but slightly since ten years ago, and it will require a nicer calculation than is yet possible to determine whether it has moved westward or eastward. For a long period it has been steadily moving westward, and by the last census.it was found to be a little west of south of Greensburg in Indiana. By this census it appears that the states wholly west of the longitude of that point have increased almost precisely the same as the states lying wholly east of it, about 6,000,000 each. The remaining 325,000 increase is in states which tne meridian passes through, and not until the increases in the east and west parts of these are determined, will it be known what and in what direction the change is. It is announced that Bear Admiral Silas Casey, who will soon complete three years of service as Command ant of the League Island Navy Yard, will be transferred to the Pacific coast or to China, and will be sue ceeded by Rear Admiral George W. Sumner, now in charge of the Port Royal Navy Yard. It is not publicly known whether Rear Ad- miral Casey will be assigned as chief of the pacific or Asiatic squadron. Rear Admiral Casey is one of the unknown and unrewarded heroes of the Spanish war. It came when he was on land service after having made a brilliant record at sea, and his duties as Commandant at League Island were vastly more important to the success of the navy in the war than any service that was ren 1 dered by commanders in naval bat- ties. It was his task to fit out a most I imperfectly equipped ,navy for a . I OTfi.

This is the more inter esting as the war was officially closed by Lord Roberts some time ago. It is to be noted also that the Boers escaped and live to fight another day. It is about time to hear from General MacArthur, who also has officially closed his war in the Phil ippines, but occasionally reports a more or less successful battle. The Boers and the Filipinos are alike in one respect, that they don't know when they are beaten. They seem to be alike in another respect also. They want to have a say in the gov ernment of their own land. They are equally unappreciative of the ad vantages of Anglo-Saxon civilization, and duty and destiny require, in each case, that they be properly in structed through the agency of rifle balls. Shooting, unfortunately is a game that two can play at, and both the Boers and the Filipinos are mak ing it costly for their civilizers. Among the uses of war in 'foreign lands is an extended knowledge of geography, and also the introduction of new words into the English lan guage. In the old wars were grafted upon the Anglo-Saxon stem all of its Latin, and in later wars we got Flucher and Wellington, a pattern of footwear; Magenta and Solferino colors used in dress goods, and Kahki, a cloth first made in India and now extensively used by all armies as tropical dress. The Chinese war has not yet made its contribu tion, but the Boer war has been singularly fecund. Kopje is a good rugged word that bids fair to enjoy permanent favor, but one with the finest shades of meaning and widest use is "commandeer," an active, aggressive verb suggesting stretch ing of authority to perform an illegal act. An illustration of its effective use can be had in the Third Con- gressional district, of this State, where the ring "commandeered" the honest vote of the people. The word can easily become an accepted euphemism for things hitherto called by harsher names.
