This Akgus o'er the people's rights, Doth an eternal vigil keep No soothing' strains of Maia's son, Can lull its hundred eyes to sleep" A ' Vol. XVI GOLDSBORO, N. C. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13.-1900. NO 23 - T 1 - j I : 4 1 1 i I- 1 f GOSSIP (HUE WORLD. ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM DIVERS SOURCES. Hews of the Stage, Social, Politi cal and. Otherwise, Culled. From Our Exchanges. The Ship Subsidy Bill seems to be sailing along tinder a full head of steam. As another evidence that Chicago is the Windy City a big powder house was blown up out there on Monday. The five editors in the Florida Legislature are expected to see that each statutory story is told in the first paragraph. It is to be hoped the nation will be permitted to plunge into the coming century without aiiy further wrang. ling over the date of its commence -xnent. Bishop Potter, in recommending a vigilance committee of 25,000 men to fight against vice in New York, can hardly expect to get that many saints together in Gotham. The Dewey arch has at last served some purpose besides demonstrating to Dewey that heroes should not get married it stopped a pair of runaway horses the other day. Now that Congress has reassem bled the women are throwing bou quets at the new members. A month or so ago the men and boys were throwing eggs and turnips at. them. The Duke of Manchester has de cided that he couldn't stand Willie Waldorf Astor and Dick Croker to gether m England, so he's coming to help Papa Zimmerman to look af ter the coin. Oom Paul Kruger in reflecting over the refusal of the Kaiser to see him may get some consolation by patting himself on the back and murmuring: "Old Baan you done your blamedest?" Another emdemic of shirtwaist men is threatened for next summer Salesmen for furnishing houses now on the road say the demand for t.ViPRft srarments is several times as great as last year. President Kruger is said to have been so surprised at the kaiser's re fusal to meet him that he wept. It is becoming more and more evident that Oom Paul has been gold-bricked by some European Web Davis. General R. A. Alger, ex-Secretary of War, said in Nashville the other day that in the Miles- Eagan contro versy the latter told the truth. He also said that Eagan was one of the voot. fnTnmiRsarv eenerals the war ever had. Congressman Boutelle, of Maine, who has been confined in an asylum for some time past, is improving, but is not sufficiently strong mentally or uhvsically to enable him to partici pate in ihe excitement attending the opening of Congress. ' The poor we have always with us, n.Tid common sense in furnishing relief to the poor is greatly in de mand to prevent the relief from pro moting chronic pauperism. In this difficult field an example of common sense applied to poor relief is worth pages of theoretical advice. V.iss Etta Humphries, of New York, has brought suit against a! dermatologist for $10,000 damages to her nose. She wanted its shape . changed so as to enable her tc ap pear well on the stage, but the der matologist, she alleges, succeeded only in scarring it for life. How fieeting is popular enthusiasm is illustrated Jwith some pathos in the destruction of the triumphal arch erected in New York to com- memorate the triumphs of the navy in the war with Spain. It served, be sure, the temporary purpose for which it was designed and it would have been more dignified to take it dawn at once, rather than leave it to decay. Champion James J. Jeffries indig nantly denies the rumor that he is engaged to be married to Miss Dor othy Drew, the actress,and he thinks that Miss Drew ought, in modesty and propriety, to have denied the rumor, when it was called to her at tention instead of encouraging it. The agent at Charleston, S. C, of the Plant System, has an elephant on his hands. It is a monster ele phant, and neither the Atlantic Coast liine nor the Southern Bail way will take the beast because the car in which he travels is too large to be handled. It is said that the car will not go through the tunnels at Baltimore. A St. Liouis surgeon has 'discov ered a new anaesthetic. While per forming an operation recently he had an attendant pound a piano to the tune of "Because She Made Them Goo-Goo Eyes," "I'm Living Easy," and other similar selections, which had the effect of entirely keeping the patient's mind off of his other troubles. Senator Frye announces the in tention of the ship subsidy crowd to loot the treasury immediately. They intend to press the bill to pas sage at the short session, and there seems to be no way to prevent this heavy raid upon the people's pock ets unless Mr. Pettigrew decides to expend his parting Senatorial breath in talking it to death. The recent death of Cadet Oscar L. Booz. of Bristol, Pa., has brought out before the public a condition of affairs at West Point that should be exhaustively inquired into by a committee of Congress, and the evil corrected by the most stringent leg islation. Many complaints have been given to the public about the brutal ity of hazing at both West Point and Annapolis, and it is quite time that Congress should absolutely elimi nate this brutal feature from our naval and military education. The census returns of Texas pre sent some curious facts. For in stance, Bailey county has but four residents; Cockran has twenty-five; Andrews has thirty-seen; Lynn has seventeen, and Dawson has thirty- six. Twenty-five other counties have populations of less than 500 each Some counties have no running stream within their borders, some are hundreds of miles from a rail road, and others are almost wholly inhabited by prairie dogs, jack rab bits and rattlesnakes. Tom Green county, the largest in the State, is larger than the whole State of Ohio, and has but 6,804 inhabitants. Mrs. John A Powers Mills, aged eighty-two years, has cooked seven ty-five Thanksgiving dinners, says a correspondent writing from Alegha ny, N. Y. She was seven years old when she prepared the first one Mrs. Mills did other useful things besides cook Thanksgiving dinners, for in 1855, when she was Mrs. John A. Powers, she was a physician, and began to practice in the city of Buf falo. But always on Thanksgiving Day she laid aside her professional cares long enough to cook the din ner. On Thursday she entertained a large party of friends besides her own family. ALondon special says: The ques tion of precedence at Washington between Mrs. Dewey and Mrs. Miles was referred to A. P. Burke, editor of Burke's Peerage, who said: "If the irresident iiKes to give prece dence to any other lady in the States than Mrs. Dewy or Mrs. Miles he would be doing nothing wrong, ac cording to our rules, but if Mrs. Dewey were to apply to me lor a personal opinion I should say that, the army being the senior service in America, General Miles' wife takes precedence over Admiral JJewe v s, It is possible she may yet do so, for T Tjf mnrfi amplications from rerub- ) i jcaIls ana radicals than from any to any other class, and more from the states than from England.

THE MODERN MOTHER has found that her little ones are im proved more by the pleasant Syrup of Figs, when in need of the laxative ef fect of a gentle remedy, than by any other. Gnildren enjoy it and it benefits them. The true remedy, Syrup cf Pigs, is manufactured by the California Fig Syrap company only. dr. CRAWFORD'S LOSS. Barn, Stables, and Stock De- stroyed by Fire. Daily Argus, Saturday. The most distrpssing loss by fire that tbe Argus has had to chronicle for some time occurred last night about 2:30 o'clock. Dr. W. B. Crawford, who lives near the Smithfield railroad in Pork township, lost his barn, stables and stock by fire, together with 13 bales of cotton. In the stables were 3 fine horses and 4 mules belonging to Dr. Crawford aud one very fine horse belonging to Mr. Phil Crawford, of Kinston, who was on a visit to the doctor. In the barn there was a quantity of feed stuff all of which was destroyed. Under adjacent shelters there were three buggies and two wagons together with a modern set of farm implements. Every thing was burned and the only insurance was $500 on the cot ton, which was carried by Mr. R. W. Cratcn of this city. The doctor cannot account for the fire in no way except that possibly there were tramps sleeping under the sheds aid ac- cidentially set the place on fire. His told loss is estimated at $3,- 000. He was in the city to-day and was lenaereu the sincere sympathy of his hosts of friends. While tbe loss is a severe one and would be calculated to dis courage most peopl?, still the doc tor is complacently viewing the catastrophe and with his indom- itable energy will go to work on the rums to build up again what has been destroyed and start life over asrain. eo to speak. He may be assured that there are willing friends who will lend their assist ance and ofier words tion. of consola CHANGE THE RAILROADS. For the railroads centering here to continue zo asscnarge pusseua gers right out on the open tracks with train passing in all direc tions is nothing more cor less than criminal negl gence. Sooner or later the life of some unfortu nate victim is going to be crushed out under toe wheels or a moving train. Every day there are hair breadth eecapos from a horrible death and spectators turn their heads to kep from witnessing such a revolting scene. In no other town in the world the eizj of Goldsboro is such a state of affairs permitted. The ac commodations for passengers are not as good as is to be found at tbe flag stations along tbe line, while the number of passengers to get on and off the trains i3 sev J eral hundred times greater. The remedy for the prevailing bed condition is in erecting a pas senger depot at one end of the city or the other, and place rails road gates at the principal street crossings. This would in a mra? ure solve the problem, but a bet ter pltn would be to have the railroads eo around the city in stead of using the principal street to run their trains through and endanser the lives of psop'e for ever. Cannot the Chamber of Com merce or the Board of Aldermen take the subject up with the rail roads and get some relit f from the present illarrangements and thereby arrest the loss of life which must come if things are al lowed to go on as they are now. GOLDSBORO BUGGY CO. Ane Capital Stock Has Been In- creased to $15,000. i-he Uoldsboro Busrgy Co., which began business in this city some months ago, has had a pros perous career. At the beginning it was evident that the undertak ing must succeed. Tbe need for such an enterprise in Goldsboro had been apparent locec before the organization of the company. Therefore under such favors able auspices it is no wonder that success should crown the efforts of the promoters. That buggies fc and other ve hlc'es of like character could be manufactured in Gcklobcro no one ever doubted, but whether the manufacture of such articles could be made to briug a profic to the investors of capital was the only queslion of c-L-jclura. The record of the Goldsboro Co. for the past few months has left no doubt on that line and now comes a reorgan'zation of the company with more uionev invested and a corresponding in crease of tbe output of the fac tory. The new and eld subscribers to the capital stock met last night in this city and fixed the capital stock at $15,000 and elect ed the following board of direct ors, woo are all men or affairs aud wide busines experience and are well kuown to the public: Messrs. N. O'Berry, W. E.Bor den, D. R. Kornegay, J. P. Souths erland, and Geo. A. Norwood, jr. The election of officers will come up at the first meeting of the board of directors, which will be held at an early day The new organ?zition with more ir flaence aud more money to work ;with cannot fail to do more business and employ more labor, both of which will help Goldsboro and benefit the stock holders. MONUMENT TO AN AXE. Frencli Town to Honor the Mem ory of a Chimpanzee. Paris, Dec. 9. The Municipal Council of Grenoble has voted a large appropriation to erect a bronze status of the f mous chim panzee "Charlemagne," who has ju9t died there. He was brought to Grenoble by Explorer Mar- votte, and for nine yeirs had en joyed the freedom of tbe town, being allowed to enter every home and to help himself to any thing in the vegttible and fruit shops. Charlemagne, who was perfect ly tame, Jre sed like, a laborer, though he preferred to travel on all fours . He used to sit with the card players in the cafes or by the fishermen at the riverbank by the hour, looking to be the wisest and most sedate crony among them. Five years ago be rescued a child who had fallen in a well by going down and climbing back by the be'p of the rc pa and the pro jections of the wall. Nobody was Pnt but the drenched child, I wno toiu tne story. Charlemagne was also a great favorite at the Children's Hospi tal. There he spent hours play ing in the different wards with infinite kindness. His fuDeal was attended by the whole population. The One Day Cold Cure.
