DE- The German War Vessel Saves the Haitien Gun Boat's Crew But Sends Her to The Bottom. Berlin. SeDt. 8. The marine min istry has given out the following of ficial report of the sinking of the Firminist gunboat Crete-a-Pierrot: "Captain Eckerman, of the Pan ther, had received orders to capture the piratical gunboat Crete-a-Pier-rot. The Panther went there from Port au Prince to Gouaives, where it completely surprised the Crete-a-Pierrot. The German commandant sent the following ultimatum: Strike your colors within fifteen minutes and disembark from your ship without undertaking any de fensive measures whatever, other wise an immediate attack will fol low.' "The Panther had already cleared for action. The Crete-a-Pierrot haul ed down her flag within che allotted time and the crew disembarked.The Panther then intended to take the Crete-a-Pierrot in tow, but an ex plosion of her powder magazine soon occurred, which was evidently af fected by the Crete-a-Pierrot's crew. The explosion destroyed her stern and set the vessel on fire, rendering taking her in tow impossible, espec ially as further explosions followed. As this was regarded as a hostile act, and as the guns afore were still in condition, the Panther's captain caused the forward magazine to be rxTloried throlerh a cannonade. Af ter this was exploded the Crete-a- i Pierrot broke up and sank. The ad miral was on board with the rebels. "Gonaives is in the hands ot the rebels." It was announced from Cape Hai tien September 3 that the German steamei Markomanni, Captain Nan sen, belonging to the Hamburg-Am. erican Packet Company, having on board arms and ammunition sent by the provisional government to Cape Haitien, had been stopped Septem ber 2 by the Firminist .gunboat Crete-a-Pierrot, at the entrance to the harbor of Cape Haitien, and that armed forces sent on board the stea m er from the gunboat took possession of the war munitions in spite of the protestations of CapL Hansen and the German consul. The seizure of the Markomanni has been characterized as an act of . piracy. But a dispatch from Berlin dated September 6, said German government circles did not take a tragi; view of the seizure oi the Ger man vessel, but that satisfaction would be demanded.

Editor Argus: As our conven tion draws near the interest of voters naturally centers upon the selection of candidates for the several offices. Wayne county is fortunate in pos sessing so eligible a corps of aspirants and it is a matter of congratulation that her prosperity is assured who ever shall be the lucky nominees. Nevertheless, as a' choice must be made, it is well to consider carefully the qualifications of gentlemen who will come before us andj make our selections after due deliberation. And, as there is no more impor tant office within cur gift than that of our County Commissioners, I re spectfully suggest the name of Mr. Charles F. Herring, for the reason that he has served us acceptably in that capacity for the past two years, possesses intimate knowledge of the couuty's needs, and while liberal and progressive in his views, is ever mindful of her interest. Many useful and needed improve ments have been accomplished dur ing his term, and his county pride will keep him always interested in her advancement while maintaining a watchful eye upon her resources. Messrs. J. P. Smith and Elijah Edwards have been his zealous co laborers, and if re-elected would con tinue to deserve well of their fellow citizens. Mr. Smith declines longer to serve and I do not know that Mr. Edwards desires renomination. In event that he also withdraws I would suggest the name of Wm. Holmes or J. M. Edgerton, either of whom would prove a worthy successor. In Mr. Smith's place M. T. John son or D. D. Peele would bring to the discharge of his duties much val uable experience of the public af fairs. As I have said, the office of Coun ty Commissioners is of great respon- sibility, demanding .the best business j from giving her any musical lnstruc management within our command, I lion. Her genius is evidently in- and in presenting the name of Mr. Herring I feel assured that his long experience as Clerk of our Superior Court ,his present service as Com missioner, and practical knowledge as a successful farmer and merchant furnishes ample guaranty that his conduct of the office will be alike creditable to himself and of material advantage to our county. "THERE IS A REMEDY." President Roosevelt Believes That Pennsylvania Can Settle the Strike. Philadelphia, Sept. 5. The Rec ord to-morrow will print an inter view on the coal strike with Presi dent Roosevelt, who passed through this city to-day on his way to Wash- ington. The President is quoted as follows: - . "I am grieved beyond measure at the difficulty in Pennsylvania and other coal producing States over the wage and kindred questions." "What remedy is at hand?" he was asked. "There is a remedy," said the President. "Do you mean that the govern ment f the United States can inter fere other than as a law-preserving body?" . "No." replied the President em phatically. "What can he done?" was then asked. - "I would refer you to the men at the head of the Republican party, who are in control of affairs in the State of Pennsylvania. 1 am sure that their conservative opinions of the difficulties rampant will ulti mately result in an amicable settle ment of this great 7 question. Of course politics do not enter into the mining problem, yet I sincerely hope that the Republican principles, which are framed alike for high and. low. will level tne problem to an equity."

Readers of the Abgus in Golds boro and throughout this section, where the paaents are so well khown and have many relatives and friends, will be both interested in the follow ing, which we clip from the Balti more Sun of la-t Saturday: - "To see a tot of four yoars, whose tiny feet extend only a short wy be low the piano seat of a piano stool, calmly playing "Maryland, My Maryland," is not an everyday sight, but the friends of little Ruth Farmer, daughter of Mr. and W. S. Farmer, 2410 Madison Mrs. aven- ue, have listened to that stirring mel ody executed by such a mite. "Little Ruth, who is a veritable baby in every other respect, has for the past year exhibited a most unus ual aptitude for mdsic. When 3 years old she suddenly, without pre liminary musical training, begarT to play simple melodies, and now can reproduce any harmony which she has once acquired mentally. "Ruth is ignorant of all musical notes and has still to be lifted to the piano stool, but once there she suc cessfully plays almost anything she has heard and which her tiny hands can compass. To all simp e airs she adds a perfectly correct Dass, and if the melody has grace notes or minor notes, sharps or flats, they are intro duced in eorrect time and place. She crosses her tiny hands when the bass carries the air to the treble with ap parently perfect ease, and when her little melodies have been executed drops her head baby fashion on the keyboard and shows a smiling row of pearly little teeth. -"The child is wholly unaffected and unconscious of her genius, and so far her parents have wisely refrained herited. Through her mother, who was a Miis Taylor, of North Caro- ina, he is related to ex-Gov.Robert Taylor, of Tennessee, whose musical genius is well known.

Editor Argus: Wayne county has so many good men who are as pirants for the office of Register of Deeds that a mistake will not be made whoever is nominated for that o ffice by the county convention, but the many friends of Mr. W. G. Britt point with pride to his career in life as a ehristain, a citizen, a business man, and as a Democrat', and say to j the Democracy of Wayne county that Mr. Britt would make a worthy successor to the most popular Regis ter of Deeds Wayne county has ever had. Mr. Britt was born in Grantham's tewnship, and grew to manhood there. He is the son of the late Moses Britt, than whom no better farmer, citizen, or ehristain gentleman ever lived in that section of the county, a man honored and loved by all who knew him; always taking the lead in those things which tend towards the betterment of mankind. Wm. G. Britt's course in life has been consis tent with the training he received while he labored with his father on his farm ' during his boyhood and young manhood. Mr. Britt's course in life is to be admired by every one. ie receivea nis preparation for college by diligent study while i i . j on his father's farm. After taking a course in college he taught several terms at Falling Creek Academy. We next find him a successful mer chant in the city of Goldsboro. The firm of Hood & Britt was known all over the county, and will be long remembered by its customers on ac count of the many courtesies and favors shown them by the proprie tors. But the firm failed not because of the business incapacity of the head of the firm, but on account of cir cumstances over which they had no control. At this point in his life we see the true characterof the man who desires to be Register of Deeds of Wayne county. Mr. Britt surrender ed all to his creditors, even to the very roof over his head. The term of "office seeker" can not be applied to Mr. 1 Britt, for he has never . before sought political preferment, but all his life he has been a Democrat and worked for the success of his party. The Democracy of Wayne county can nominate no better man for Register of Deeds than Wm. G. Britt. E. T. Atkinson.

On the 25th day of August I sent a specimen of city water taken from one of the city taps after it had been filtered, to the Biologist at A. & M. College for analysis. I have this day received his report which is as follows, viz: "The water contains Bacteria of sewage and putrefactive groups. The water is polluted, though not badly. If source cannot be improved, would boil water until after copious rains wash the water shed clean." All consumers of city water should boil it for 5 minutes to kill all bac teria. Below I append "Notes on Drinking Water" which should in terest the public. W. II. II. Cobb, Chairman Board of Health of the City. NOTES ON DRINKING- WATER. 1. The diseases most "often trans mitted by polluted drinking water are typhoid fever, cholera, spotted fever, dysentery and acute intestinal colic. 2. A pure and reliable water sup ply is the first requisite for continued good health. Shallow, open wells are very dangerous. The dug well is now obsolete, and should be, whenever practicable, abandoned for the driven or bored well. These wells have a casting of galvanized iron. They should never be less than 70 feet deep. 3. Where dug wells are continued in use a pump should be used rather than a bucket. The platform over the well should be water-tight. The casing of stone or hard brick should extend at least 2 feet above the level of the ground. It should be covered w.'th good cement inside and out. 4. Rain or surface water should not flow towards a well from a stable, pig pen, or any such place. None of these should be located, nor should kitchen or chamber slops be deposited on the ground within 150 feet of any well or spring. 5. Dug wells should be pumped or bailed dry and all sediment down to original bottom removed at least once a year. The inside of casing should be carefully examined and all cracks filled with cement or mortar of good quality. 9. The use of cistern or rain wa ter for drining is not safe in locali ties where the English sparrow or the common pigeon abound. These birds defile roofs with their excre ment and also carry thereupon pol- lutted material such as straw, rags and waste paper. 7. The use of patent household filters is not recommended unless they can be and are frequently and thoroughly cleaned and disinfected by boiling. 8. When a water is suspected of being polluted before using it should be heated to 170 F. for 10 minutes, or boiled for 3 minutes. These tem peratures for the times given are fatal to all known pathogenic bac teria. The 'flat' ' taste of boiled wa ter can be removed by pouring the water a few times from one vessel into another held 2 or 3 feet below. Gerald McCarthy, Biologist. WOMEN AND JEWELS.
