PYTHIAN BAZAAR.
Centuries ago, in the ancient city
! of Syracuse, Senator Damon incurr
ed the displeasure of the Kling, and
was condemned to death. Among
the soldiers of the Kinar, there was
i
one Py thias, a lover of the fair Ca
lantbea, and also a friend to the Sen
ator.
By some means this soldier learn
ed of the trouble of his friend the
Senator, and hastening to the King's
court, he offered himself as a hostage
lor his friend, that he might have a
few short hours to see his wife and
child, before the headsman and his
axe were called into service. His
offer was accepted; he was placed in
the dungeon, and the Senator allow
ed to depart. In due time a shout
by the populace announced thy re
turn of the Senator, when the sold
ier and friend was released.
This event flung out upon life's
drama the silken banner bearing
the motto Friendship. The noble
order of Knights of Pythias, bearing
aloft this banner, was born in the
city of Washington on the nineteenth
of February 1868, with Justice H.
Rathbone at its head, and now num
bers over half million brave and val
iant knights.
About four years later, Ruffin
LodgeNo. 6 unfurled their tri-colored
banner in our fair city, and during
these years of labor and love, for suf
fering humanity, has grown to be
one of the strongest fraternal orders
in our midst.
This order will, the first week in
November, hold a Pythian Bazaar,
iu which we hope and expect every i
Pythian to have a part. -
We ask the lawyers and doctors,
merchants and farmers, manufactur
ers and mechanics, and especiatly
the ladies (the fair Calantheas of our
Gem City) to aid us in this work by
their friendship and their support
in our undertaking to raise funds for
the purpose of building a Pythian
Castle Hall.

THERE 1M i LEASE.
OF THE ATLANTIC & NORTH

Governor Charles B. Aycock Puts
An Abrupt End to All .
Negotiations.
-V"
Raleigh Post.
" Governor Aycock gave out the
statement yesterday afternoon that
there will be no J ease of the Atlantic
and North Caroltna Railroad. ;,v
Asked for a more detailed state
ment, he said there was nothing else
to it. That Mr. W. W. Mills and
his associate, Mr. H. L. Finlayson,
through whom the two propositions
to lease tame, called on him during
the day and he (the governor) in
formed them that he would not
further consider the proposition, and
the negotiations were at an end.
Other than this the Governor had
no statement to make. He said there
would be no consideration of the
propositions at the approaching ses
sion of the directors at Newbern.
Mr. W. W. Mills was seen by a
Post writer and asked iu regard to
the situation. He said . all he could
say was that negotiations for a lease
were entirely off. He had called on
the Governor and been told that
there would be no further considera
tion of his propositions to lease. He
said that from conversations he has
had with the Governor be is confi
dent the chief executive personally
favors leasing the road, but that for
two or three reasons he is constrain
ed to exercise the perogative he has
and put an end to the negotiations.
GOVERNMENT COTTON RE
PORT. x
Washington, D. C, Sept. 22.
Except in portions of the Eastern
Districts of the cotton belt Where cot
ton picking has been interrupted by
rains, the weather conditions have
been very favorable for gathering
crops and this work has progressed
rapidly.
The prevalence of rust, shedding
and boll worms is widespread, and
the boll weevil in Texas continues
destructive, although there is prema
ture opening in South Carolina. Ru&t
in Georgia and shedding in Alabama
have been somewhat checked.
Heavy rains have injured the sta
ple in Georgia, South Carolina and
Florida.
Cotton is opening rapidly in all
districts. The outlook for a top crop
is not promising.

Cure Catarrh By Nature's Own
Method Evety Breath of
Hyomei Brings Relief.
Nearly every one who has catarrh
knows how foolish it i3 to try and
cure it by drugging the stomach.
Temporary relief may be given, but
a cure seldom comes.
Until recently your physician
would have said the only way to cure
catarrh would be to have a change
of climate; but now with Hyomei
you can carry a health giving climate
in your vest pocket and by breath
ing it a few minutes four times a day
soon cure yourself.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but $1.00 and consists of an inhaler
that can be carried in the vest pock
et, a medicine dropper and a bottle
of Hyomei. The inhaler lasts a life
time, and if one bottle does not cure,
an extra bottle of Hyomei can be ob
tained for 50 cents. It is the most
economical of all remedies advertised
for the cure of catarrh, and is the
only one that follow nature in her
method of treating diseases of the
respiratory organs. .'

PROHIBITION IN CONCORD.
What a Leading Citizen of that
Town Has to Say on Its Opera
tion There.
Editor Argus: Will you kindly
publish the following letter, one
from Mr. W. R. Odell of Concord
well known in manufacturing cir
cles: and one from Mr. E. G. Mosely
of Danville, a "Leaf Tobacco Deal
er." These letters show very conclu
sively the helpful effect of prohibi
tion on the material interest of a
place. t Yours truly,
F. D. Swindell
Concord, N. C, Sept. 17, 1903.
Rev. F. D. Swindell,
Goldsboro, N. C.
Dear Brother: Your esteemed
favor of the loth inst., to hand.
For some years after the saloons
were abolished in Concord there was
no increase in taxation. Since1 that
time, however, we have installed
electrie lights, water works, and
established public schools, and of
course this naturally increased taxes.
We have also macadamized streets,
cement sidewalks in all the business
portion of town, and the population
has more than doubled. Our rate of
taxation is 1-20.
We have built a city hall costing
about $15,000; graded schools $25,
000; -water works $100,000; and we
do not know of a business man in
our city, or any who pay taxes, that
want saloons -even high licensed
saloons. , ' V ..
Si far as managing the help in the
factories is concerned, there is no
comparison. We had more trouble
when we were working 150 opera
tives with saloons than we have now
with 1,200 operatives without sa
loons. Previous to the abolition of
saloons we had no Building & Loan
Associations. We have two of these
now in successful operation, and
more of our people own their homes
than ever before. The people who
formerly drank are saving money
and purchasing homes. Business
has increased in this town very
much, and taking away saloons ha3
never hurt business. When we had
saloons you scarcely could see a lady
on the streets at night or on Satur
days, and now the ladies have no
hesitancy in going on the streets day
or night.
So far as I am concerned I have
never seen a place for a saloon yet.
The town or city that abolishes sa
loons, and puts public sentiment be
hind it to see that the law is rigidly
enforced, will grow and prosper. This
has been the experience of Concord.
Yours truly,
W. R. OdEkl.
p. s. I find that in 1886 the tax
able property of this town was $463,
716. This was the year prohibition
went in effect. . Our amount thia
year, is $2,132,610.
Yours truly,
W. R. ODEIiL.

Dear Sir: When you can buy
paint for less than Devoe; don't;
save your money.
Mr. Aaron Higgins, Plalnfield, N.
J., always used 15 gallons of paint
for his house; Devoe took 11.
Mr. Ezra Rathmell, Williams

took 6.
Mr. Burt Young, Girard, Pa., al
ways used a gallon for certain
rooms; took half as much Devoe.
Mr. Nathaniel Barber, Canton, N.
Y., .bought 12 Devoe; used lees than
6.
You can always buy paint for less

THE NINTH CRUSADE.
Is there to be a ninth crusade of
Christian soldiery against the Turks?
A few months ago the question
would have been absurd enough.
But now, in view of the plans which
are being considered by Knights
Templars at Chicago, the inquiry
bids fair to be answered in the affirm
ative. The Knights Templars of the
United States number something
more than 50,000. Only a certain
proportion, of course, would go to
Bulgaria in the event of the forma
tion of a military league. But this
organization, should it decide on
such a movement, could furnish a
very formidable force. It is safe to
say that the Templars of America
and Europe could put at least 100,
000 men in the field against the infi
dels. Such a crusade would be scarcely
inferior in numbers, and markedly
superior in other respects, to any of
the eight principal movements for
the recovery of Jerusalem from the
Saracens. The first crusade, which
was undertaken in 1096 and which
was led by Godfrey de Bouillon and
other nobles, comprised, about 100,
000 men. It was the most success
ful of the crusades. The second,
which was led by Conrad III,of Ger
many, and Louis VII, of France, in
1147, was stronger in numbers but :
poorly organized. The third, by
Frederick Barbarossa, of Germany,
and Richard Coeur de Lion, of Eng
land, was less imposing and almost I
wholly ineffective. The fourth cru- j
sade, which was undertaken in 1210,
on a tremendous scale, frittered itself
away in j etty feuds and dissensions.
The last four of the crubades were
relatively unimportant.
It is not remarkable that
Knights Templars, who trace
origin of their order back to
Latin kingdom of Jerusalem,
the
the
the
and
whose oath requires them "to fight
the enemy of Christ, even unto
death," should be deeply moved by
the news of the Macedonia massacres
and should plan a movement against
the Moslem oppressors. Time alone
can show whether y the agitation of
this crusade is to be taken seriously.
But it is certainly an interesting ex
ample of historical recurrence; and
it may yet be a determining factor
in the eastern situation.

WHAT IS WEALTH?
What makes a man rich, a con
temjorary asks without answering
the question. Some n?eu ar poor
on$100,000,others with$l .000,000 are
afraid of the poor house, while some
more fortunately eonstitJited are
"passing rich on fifty pounds a
year."
Rockefeller with all of his millions
is still a poor man. His money buys
a certain amount of clothes. He can
only wear so much. A man on an
income of one-thousandth part of his
can dress as well. His money pro
vides him a bed, a downy couch with
beautiful adornments, but it cannot
pnrchase soothing slumber. The
millionaire rises many a morning
from a restless night and envies the
man who sleeps on corn shucks. His
table groans with the luxuries ot the
season and the reputed rich man
groans with dyspepsia. He would
exchange his millions for the stom
ach of a farm hand.
If half of what is told of Rockefel
ler is true, instead of being rich he
is poverty-stricken in those things
which are worth vliiag for.Kis hair
and eyebrows both have fallen out
and he is a nervous, physical wreck.
Of what account are millions to him?
What constitutes wealth? Good
health, a happy home, enough to
provide for the reasonable wants of
those dependent upon us, and con
tentment with what we have. These
constitute wealth.
RACE PREJUDICE.
Recently in BrooIvu, ou a lare,
new building, the Iri.;h laborer"; em
ployed there struck when Italians
were employed. A sufficient numT
ber of Italians couhi not be found to
take the strikers' p!ac 3 and negroes
were then employed.
Now the Italians and Irish have
joined hands and are doing thir ut
most to have the negroes excluded
from the building. So there is race
prejudice even in Brooklyn.
