THE OLD VETERANS ENJOY
CAMP LIFE.
Mr. J. M. Hollowell Tells of the
Good Time the Old "Boys"
Had While In Camp,
Also About the
Deserters.
Editok Akgtts: Instead of the
annual dinner as has been their cus
tom, the Thos. Ruffin Camp of Con
federate Veterans decided this year
to spend a day or two in camp.
Col. W. H. Smith had arranged
for reduced rates on the A. & N. C.
R. R. and secured the use of tents
just vacated by the Second Regiment
of State Guards at Camp Rodman
near Morehead City. So last Thurs
day evening about forty of the old
boys with some of their son8 took
the train for camp.
It was a right lively crowd of the
old "grays" and a good deal of fun
and amusement was had on the way
the old darkey Annanias Lewis
carried the battle flag.
We reached camp about dark, se
lected tents, secured blankets from
Sergeant Pike, ate supper and gath
ered around the tents talking over
old war times, until time to retire.
Col. Smith left Tom Jones in charge
of camp and Henry King to look
after the comfort of the old fellows.
Henry did his duty well, but his
was a hard job.
It was this way, the old fellows
after a vacation of thirty eight years
could not sleep well under tents.
They would get up and walk in their
sleep, wander about over camp, get
entangled in the tent ropes and have
to be extricated, lose their tent and
have to be led back to it. I did not
rest - well myself, notwithstanding
there was plenty of straw in the tent,
and it lay comfortable, yet, I was
restless, I seemed to feel the absence
of something. I would catch myself
throwing my hand out feeling for
something that was missing, possibly,
it was for my gun. . At any rate the
next time I go in camp I think I
will carry a gun.
Next morning we went down and
saw a haul of seine made, bought the
fish and had them fresh for break
fast. v We were then informed that
we would have to give up the tents
as they were needed at Greensboro.
So after another fish dinner we broke
camp, accepted an invitation from
Commodore Deb Holt to go aboard
his boat and he very kindly took us
up to Morehead City where the even
was very pleasantly spent until time
to take the train back to Goldsboro.
Somefew remained over until Sat
urday. We had only two deserters on the
outing. These were Comrades Berry
Parks and Britton Scott. When the
train stopped at the eamp for us. to
get off, Berry and Brit stood - on the
rear of the car listening for the sound
of fox hounds and as they did not
hpax anv thev hid back in tne car
nnd went on to Morehead and took
the first train back to goldsboro.
Though it proved a very short en
ampment, yet it was a very pleas
ant one and the old "boys" all ap
peared to enjoy it. Col. Smith did
all he could to make the trip pleas
ant, and Joe Bryan and Tom Kelley
handled the grub department finely
All regretted the absence of Adjutan
A. B. Hollowell, who is always fore
most in everything that will give aid
and comfort to the olcl veterans.

JOYABLE
I
N. C. STATE GUARD.
Major John Newton, of. the U. S.
Army, In His Report to the .
War Department, Speaks
Very Highly of Our
Slate Guard.
The report of Major John Newton,
of the Sixteenth Infantry, TJ. S. A.,
who, with Col. T. H. Bain, of the
Governor's staff, inspected the North
Carolina Regiments, had the follow
ing complimentary paragraph in
his report to the War Department:
"Taken as a whole, the National
Guard of North Carolina is a good,
earnest body of men. Their drill,
manual of arms, military appearance
and discipline is crude.' Being in
separate companies, and not having
advantage of encampments so they
can be brought in contact with other
organizations, most captains interpret
their drill regulations differently
The maintenance and discipline of
the National Guard of North Caro
lina seems to rest wholly with the
captains. The citizens of the differ
ent towns are very much interested
in their welfare, and in some cases
contribute money to their support.
The people of the State place great
dependence on the National Guard.
In case of riots and disturbances,
they are often called out, and report
promptly. In fact, there seems to be
great rivalry as' to which company
can get to the designated point first."
CURE FOR HAY FEVER.
J. H. Hill & Son Say Hyomei Will
i
Give Relief Sold Under j
Guarantee.
The season for hay fever is almost
at hand andmany people feel that
they will be obliged to leave town in
order to avoid tie sneezing, watery
eyes and other annoying symptoms
of this disagreeable summer disease.
J. H. Hill & Son .wish us to an
nounce that when Hyomei is used,
either as a preventive or cure, there
will be no hay fever. They advise
the use of Hyomei daily for two or
three weeks before the usual time for
the annual appearance of hay fever.
In this way the attack will be pre
vented. If, however, the preventive
treatment was not started soon
enough and the disease comes on, use
Hyomei six or seven times daily and
also rub Hyomei Balm thoroughly
into the nostrils both morninsr and
night. This treatment will relieve
at once and give a speedy and per
manent cure.
Hyomei actually brings into your
own ' nome, a climate niiea with
ozone and healing balsams, the same
air that one breaths at the White
Mountains or other health resorts.
There is no stomach dosing when
Hyomei is used. It is Nature's own
method for curing all diseases of the
respiratory organs, and is breathed
through a neat pocket inhaler that
accompanies every ot, so that the
medicated air reaches the minutest
air cells, killing all gsta$ and eooth
ing and healing the irrigated mucous
membrane. v-
It is the one treatment for hay
fever where Hill & Son, guarantee to
refund the money if it riot give
satisfaction. All who are gnbjef t to
hay lever should begin use at
once so as to prevent the disease.

OUR TOBAGGO MARKET,
THE OPENING SALES TO-DAY
NOT LARGE.
60,000 Pounds On the Floors of Our
Three "Warehouses: Prices
Low But Farmers More
Cheerful Than the .
Warehousemen.
Goldsboro tobacco market opened
for the season Monday, and all three
of our large sales warehouses were
busy from an early hour receiving
and placing the yellow staple on
their floors; but the aggregate re
ceipts did not exceed sixty thousand
pounds, and the quality was . by no
means the best. In fact, it has not
been a favorable year for the grow
ing of tobacco, and those who have
Succeeded best with the cultivation
of the weed still will have but in
ferior staple. This is general all over
the country, and added to this the
universal depression in the prices
offered for the weed makes the out
look for profitable returns to the
farmer by no means encouraging.
The prices that prevailed on our
market Monday run from 2 cts. to 9
cents per pound lor tobacco that sold
last season at just double that
amount.
This is no surprise, however, to
the farmers, who were told or fore- j
told last season that the prices
would be low this year. Just what
the cause is we are unable to say
definitely. Some say it is due to a
combine on the part of the American
Tobacco Company and the Imperial
Tobacco Company, which two con
trol the entire manufactured pro
duct; while it is also stated and
probably with truth, that the over
production of the weed for the past
several years has created such a
congestion of the rough product,
that it will require three years.
without another leaf grown, to man
ufacture and work up the present
stock on hand.
Be all this as it may, the fact re
mains that prices are low and the
outlook is not favorable; and while
the farmers seem to accept the situ
ation with their usual cheerful phil
osophy the warehouse men are de
pressed and unhappy.
At all events, the priees paid on
the Goldsboro market Monday were
the best we have yet seen recorded
of any opening day on any market
this season.

I GO FORWARD.
FORTY-FOUR PEOPLE PAY
, ON THEIR INCOME.
This Is the Number Given In By
Tax Payers of Wayne County,
Only Three of Whom
- Were Outside of
Goldsboro.
It is the general comment of travel
ling men who visit Goldsboro regu
larly that we have one of the most
substantial towns in tie country.
The character and credit of the busi
ness men is the very best, while the
reputation; skill and ability of our
professional men is known to the
people of the whole State and it is a
source of pride to every citizen of
our progressive city.
The citizenship of our city is com
posed for the most part of people
who were born and raised here and
who are not only proud of their
birth place, but who take a pride in
everything that would be of benefit
to the town. With such a class of
residents tke town is compelled to go
forward. An index to the general
progress of the city was discovered
while glancing over the tax listing
figures in the office of . the Register
of Deeds when the reporter found
that forty-four people in Wayne
county gave in taxes on their in
comes, uniy tnree oi tnese are out
side the city c.f Goldsboro and they
were in Nahunta township. The
amounts range all the way from $200
to $3,711. The three largest on the
ist are Messrs. C. B. Aycock, $3,000;
F. K. Borden, $3,000 and W. T.
Dortch, $3,711, from which it can be
seen that Mr. Dortch leads the list
by over $700. In listing income tax
the lister is allowed $1,000 exemption
and office expenses on all incomes
not otherwise taxed. The large num
ber who gave in taxes on their in
comes in Goldsboro, a city of 8,000
inhabitants, is an indication of the
hrift, prosperity and substantial
growth of the city and would doubt-
ess compare favorably with any
town in the State of the same popu
lation.'

done them, that we are more thor
oughly convinced than ever that
there is but little risk to us in selling
Mi-o-na under this guarantee.
The demand for Mi-o-na is increas

Your readers can bee that they run
no risk whatever in buying Mi-o na.

THE ELMORE CASE.
It Is of More Than Passing Inter-
est to Lawyers: Some Point
In the Pleadings.
Mr. W. T. Dortch, as attorney, has
received a check for $5,000 from the
Seaboard Air Line Railroad Co. for
Mr. , Henry Elmore, of Mt. Olive,
who was injured while coupling cars
on that road about two ears ago.
The case was tried in the Superior
court, in this city, last Spring was a
year ago, when the jury gave the
plaintiff a verdict. ; An appeal was
taken to the Supreme court, which
tribunal sustained the verdict. Be
sides Mr. Dortch the- plaintiff had
two other able counsel in the person
of Mr. I. F. Dortch and Judge W.
R. Allen, who was then a partner
of Mr. W. T. Dortch. Daily Argus,
July 29.
Our article in Daily Argus July 29,
with reference to the case of Elmore
against the railroad, may be calcu
lated to do an injustice to Mr. Mun
roe, and, perhaps, to other members
of this bar.
The history of the case is unique,
and will justify a recital in detail.
Mr. Elmore was injured while in
the employ of the Seaboard Air
Line at Clarkton, N. C. On the first
trial Elmore was represented by Mr.
I. F. Dortch and Messrs. Allen &
Dortch, and the railroad by Capt. W.
H. Day and Mr. F. A. Daniels. The
case was hotly and ably contested,
and a verdict was rendered in favor
of Elmore for four thousand, five
hundred dollars ($4,500). The rail
road appealed to the Supreme Court,
where. the case was argued by Mr.
W. R. Allen and Mr. I. F. Dortch
for Elmore, and Capt. Day, Hon. J.
B. Batchleor and ex -Judge T. B.
Womack for the railroad.
Mr. I. F. Dortch, who does not
often argue cases in the Supreme
Court, discussed the questions in
volved with so much force and clear
ness that he-elicited the praise of one
of the Justices, at least. The case
was decided in favor of Elmore. The
railroad asked for a rehearing, when
the matter was discussed by Capt.
Day, Hon. J. B. Batchleor, ex-Judge
T. B. Wormack and ex-Chief Jus
tice James E. Shephard for the rail
road, and Mr. W. R. Allen and Mr.
I. F. Dortch for Elmore. The case
was decided against Elmore this
time.
Judge Allen having to retire from
the case on account of having been
elevated to the bench, Mr. W. C.
Munroe was employed by the plain
tiff, who presented to Justice Con
nor a second petition to re-hear. The
petition was ordered to be docketed;
a thing which had not been done in
this State since 1804.
At the second re-hearing In the
Supreme Court, the case was argued
by Mr. Munroe for Mr. Elmore, and
by ex-Chief Justice James E. Shep
hard and ex-Judge T. B. Wormack
for the railway. The case was de
cided on this second re-hearing in
favor of Mr. Elmore and the money
has been paid.
To somewhat paraphrase the re
mark of Schley, there ought to be
sufficient gratification for all.
GONE TO PIECES. :
New Orleans, July 30. The Wash
ington Artillery, the oldest and
strongest military organization in
the southwest, has split and gone to
pieces over the question of the Dick
militia bill and service in the militia.
By a majority of nine, in a large
meeting, the men decided to join the
militia under government auspices.
Colonel Richard, commanding, and
most of the officers left the hall after
the vote was announced and refuse
to abide by it. The artillery is sixty
years old. It served with distinction
in the Mexican .war and furnished
bitter ies to both the Confederate
armies of Virginia and Tennessee,
and has been used in the suppression
of all locol riots and disturbances. It
owns its armory, cannon, guns, etc
Most of the time it has been an inde
pendent military regiment, but for
the past ten or twelve years has been
a member of the state militia;
THE We HOTEL.
IT IS NOW IN FULL BLAST
AND IS FILLED WITH
GUESTS.
Boating, Fishing, Bathing and
Many Other Attractions to
be Found at This Delight
ful Summer Resort at
Morehead City.
The news comes from Morehead
City that the Atlantic Hotel is to re
main open until October 1st. This
will be gratifying intelligence to the
many hundred patrons of this fam
ous summer resort throughout the
South, who have always been com
pelled to leave the hotel during the
month of August heretofore. The
sailing and fishing was never finer
than now and the announcement
that the hotel is to be kept open un
til October the 1st will no doubt
draw a large crowd of people who
enjoy such sports.
There is no question but what the
Hotel has had one of the most pros
perous seasons this year that it has
ever hadj which in a great measure
is due to the vast improvements
which Mr. Jas. A. Bryan has had
made to the property. All the com
forts and conveniences of any first
class hotel can now be enjoyed at
the Atlantic, which, together with
the many s-pocial advantages not to
be found elsewhere makes the hotel
one of the most desirable places on
the Atlantic coast to spend the sum
mer vacation. The pleasure-seeking
puclic have already learned these
advantages, which accounts for the
increased crowds from season to
season.
The manager of the Hotel this sea
son, Mr. Eaale Turner, ,who has had
years of experience as manager of
summer resort hotels, has had much
to do with the success of the hotel.
His capable oversight of all the help
and his training of the help has con
tributed very materially to the ex-'
cellent service which the public has
enjoyed. He is personally popular
with the guests and his cheerful ac
comodations on all occasions keep
the guests feeling as if they were
under great obligations to the splen
did management.
WILL NOT EXPELLED.
Washington, July 31. Midship
man Fry, of North Carolina, will
not be expelled from the naval acad
emy for hurling a glass at a colored
waiter's head. This positive infor
mation came to-day from Superin
tendent Brownson of the naval acad
emy, who stated that he had decided
himself to pass on the ease, without
submitting it to the navy depart
ment for action. Superintendent
Brownson further said that the oi
fense committed bytho midshipman
was a serious infraction of the rules
and called for disciplinary measures,
but was insufficient to Justify the
dismissal of the young aaaa It is
learned that an order will be Issued
severely reprimanding Midshipman .
Fry for his conduct, and ca0 pTm
of punishment will probably be vis
ited upon him. This Will bo $b ejjd
