Forney, of the Marine Corps, will preside at the court-martial to try Major Littletod W. T. Waller and Lieut. John II. A. Day, of the Ma rine Corps, March 17th next, on the charge of executing natives of the Island of Saniar without trial. The charges specify that Major Waller and Lieut. Day killed three native stevedores on the streets of Lasey, Island of Samar, without trial. These stevedores were among those who accompanied the disastrous ex pedition of Major Waller and a de tachment of marines to the interior of Samar last December. It is claimed the stevedores muti nied and proceeded to the foothills, where they dug camotes (a variety of sweet'potato), and that they later concealed and refused to turn them over to the Americans, saying that when the marines died of hunger they would have a good supply of arms and ammunition. Sympathy is expressed for Major Waller, who, at that time, was suf fering from mental and physical strain. Liet. Day apparently obeyed Major Waller's orders.

When the Burgomaster Company arrived here Tuesday from Wilming ton on their way to Raleigh the train stopped in front of the Hotel Kennon at the usual stopping place. The company thought the train had been stopped at the place mentioned for their benefit so they could get dinner in time to leave for Raleigh. They naturally wished to know where they would have to get on the train and they asked a police officer where the depot was. The officer pointed to the ground under their feet and to the sky above, saying "this is all the depot we have." The company seemed much sur prised and just a little disgusted. They did not understand why it is that a town of the size and import ance of Goldsboro cannot have a de pot. ARRESTED ON THE TRAIN The Groom of a 13 -Year-Old Bride Has His Happiness Mo mentarily Interrupted. Hardy Matthews, the cotton fac tory operative 26 years old, who mar ried Mamie Lassiter, 13 years old, was arrested by the sheriff Monday afternoon after he and his young bride had boarded the train for Fay ette ville, where they were going to work in a cotton factory. The arrest was made at the instigation of the girl's parents, who were indignant at the marriage on account of the ten der age of the bride. The case was carried before Justice Hugh Humph rey and after much contention the groom was permitted to pay the costs and to keep his bride. The matter has been amicably adjusted and, the happy couple are now basking in the sunlight of each other's smiles. PICK-UP'S. Senator Hoar is on another war path.

' For nine long years I suffered from chronic diarrhoea, which weakened me down greatly My weight went, from 162 pounds to 87 pounds. I got so I could not do any work, but could sit up a little. For twelve months I lived on Bweet milk and bread. If I ate anything else it would start the bowel trouble, from four to ten times a day. My doctor said I wouH never get well, I might get better but that trouble would always be my weak point when I would take cold. Seeing Mrs. Joe Person's advertisements on the South Boston bridge, I wrote to Mrs. Pe son and stated my case. She said she did not think there was any doubt of her Remedy curing me. So I commenced it, and soon I could eat anything I wanted except but termilk. I took 22 bottles, which made a perfect cure of me, and I gradually regained my weight until I again weighed 168 pounds. It was seven years ago Bince I was cured, and am now perfectly well. I had a baby that was born with a bowel trouble, which nothing could reach. He was born in May and in July he had a bad boil which he suffered from for six months. I didn't know Mrs Person's Remedy could be used on so young a baby, so I wrote to Mrs. Person and she advised its use Before he had taken a bottle the bowel trouble was cured and also the boil, which the doctor said threaten ed to be a serious trouble as it was so obstinate and lasted so long, i MBS. W. N. WARREN. STORY ABOUT DUFFERTN. How flue Famona British Diplomat Renewed an Old Acquaintance. When governor general of Canada, the late Lord Dufferin visited Wash ington and was banqueted at the White House by the president of the United States, says the Belfast North ern Whig. During the evening one of the president's guests, accosting the governor general, asked to be permitted the honor of renewing an old acquaint ance. "With pleasure," si. id Lord Dufferin, whose memory for faces was excellent, trying hard to locate the per sonality of the "old acquaintance," but without success. "I don't wonder your excellency has forgotten me," said the American, interpreting rightly his lord ship's inquiring gaze. "It is so very long ago since we met." . "How long?" inquired Lord Dufferin. "Some thirty five years," coolly, replied the stranger. "Thirty-five years!" exclaimed the gov ernor general in surprise. "Why, I was a little boy then." "I was a little boy myself," said the American, "but perhaps a brief story will help you to remember me." "I shall be delighted to hear it," returned courtly Lord Duf ferin. "Thirty-five years ago," proceeded the stranger, "the youthful heir to a north of Ireland estate while walking in his father's demesne met a country lad of about his own age and told him quite mildly, but still with the author itative air of youth, that he was tres passing; that he had no right there. Ignorant of the heir's identity, the country boy replied in the accent of the County Down, 'A hae as guid a recht as y'sel, anyway.' The young autocrat resented the impertinence of the young peasant. The dispute between them grew heated, and at last the argument beloved of all schoolboys .of all grades was resorted to. They fought. The peasant proved rather the handier f the pair, and the young nobleman" "Why, that was myself!" interrupted Lord Dufferin, laughing. "I remember the incident clearly. The boy's name was Young. He was the son of a ten ant on my father's estate. I told him he was trespassing. He questioned my right to interfere. At last I challenged him. He responded with cheerful alac rity. We fought, and he gave me a tre mendous thrashing. But what Is the application of your story? Surely you cannot be that hard fisted County Down lad?" "Governor Young," inter posed the president, addressing the American, "I am delighted to .find that you and Lord Dufferin are already known to each other." "Yes," said Governor Young; "his excellency and myself were talking over our first mer ry meeting thirty-five years ago in Clandeboye demesne." And during the remainder of his stay in Canada Lord Dufferin had no more welcome guest at Government House in Ottawa than the governor of Ohio. THEORY TO PROLONG LIFE. Illinois Man Claims to Do It by Will Power. That prolonging human life is possi ble through the proper employment of one's will power is being put to a prac tical test by S. V. Keller of Medora, 111., who, despite his seventy-one years, walks with the elasticity and dash of an athlete, knows no ills and expects to pass the century mark of time. Mr. Keller is one of the pioneer edu cators of Macoupin county and is known widely as an advanced thinker and a man of remarkable mentality. He has made a diligent study of the mind and claims many things for it in its power over matter. He now ad vances the theory that it is in truth the elixir of life, the power that restores youth to age, the secret of longevity. It is within the power of any one, he claims, to exercise this force if there is a sufficient understanding of the principle and an intelligent applica tion thereof. From twenty to thirty years may be added to one's life there by, he maintains. To illustrate his own rejuvenation Mr. Keller the other day in the pres ence of a St. Louis Republic repre sentative flaunted his legs and arms with the nimbleness and perfect ease of a ballet dancer. "See!" he exclaim ed, starting off sprightly across a room. "My legs are as free and easy as a child's. I am younger than I was thir ty years ago." ' War on Ragtime Music. Chicago musicians of the higher class those who have engagements with the Thomas orchestra, theater orches tras and concert companies are dis cussing a plan of forming a new organ ization and seceding from the Chicago Federation of Musicians, says the Chi cago Journal. The reason is the feel ing that inferior musicians who play for dances and for money rather than art's sake make np the body of the federation. The others want some dis tinction between the men who play ragtime and think it is music and those Who are called upon to interpret the difficult compositions of Wagner, Ver di, Mascagni and Gounod. There are 2,000 union musicians In Chicago, and of these 400 or 500 are said to be In sympathy with the mctT.ement.

Howell spent Saturday and Sunday in your city visiting rel atives. Mr. and Mrs. Ruffin Bailey, from Selma, visited Mr. and Mrs. Isaaa Smith this week. Mr. Temple Woodard, of Prince ton, spent Sunday uight with Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Wells. Mrs. Laura Andrews and daugh ter Miss Clyde, of your city, spent Saturday night and Sunday with Mrs. Geo. Becton Mrs. Douglas Hastings, from Black Creek, and Mrs. Wright Lynch, of near Smithheld, spent last week with their parents Mr. and Mrs.Seth. Dixon. Mrs. Will Crawford spent Monday at Greenleaf with Mrs. H. E. Tripp, whom we are glad to learn is now rapidly recovering from her recent accident. Mr. Ed Gurley and children, of your city, were the guests of Mr.and, Mjs. R. L. Hooks last Sunday. Mr. Gurley is now selling pianos and or pans, and was on his way home from Johnston county. Mr. G. W. Becton, the loss of whose mule is familiar to ARGua readers, spent Wednesday night with Mr. Geo. Becton on his way home with his mule, which he found near Pine Level. He may not have found him had not the hundred eyed Argus looked into so many homes. Toby says if the weather continues the only way he can ever plant corn will be to run ofi his land and drop it, and split out the middles after he lays by his crop. There are a good many of us in the same condition. However, the past two Spring like days have put the farmers to work in earnest, and the lands are being rapidly prepared for seeding. Mr. R. E. Pipkin was out here Monday afternoon, and we have felt somewhat more hopeful since, a 3 he interviewed neighbor Toby Howell, and perhaps he has reconsidered,and going to furnish potatoes anyway. At any rate we are more "calm and serene", and are awaiting develop ments. Bob has many friends here ; who are alwrays glad to see him. A "tramp" in the orchard at Mr. Geo. Pipkin's last Sunday morning, causing much alarm to three of the young ladiers, and causing them to hide in the barn, proved to be a sis ter dressed in some of the boys' clothes, and upon establishing her identity the three so badly fright ened were so well amused that she escaped with but little punishment. The old gin house which has been as familiar a figure here as the old "Great Eastern" in your city; has been torn down by its enterprising owner Mr. Geo. Becton. It has stood there for years, and was built by Dr. Goelet. We first thought Mr. Becton would probably follow suit, and erect a market, city hall etc., like you are going to do. But we learn from him that he will build a pack house for tobacco, and erect one or two dwelling houses and rebuild the one burned. "We go forward" too, don't you see? Kiilikinick.
