DIED OF HYDROPHOBIA. Bitten by Mad Dog: Nine Weeks Ago, Mr. Jim Koonce, of" Dover, Developes Case of Rabies. Kinston Free Press. Mr. James Koonce, aged 21 years, son of Mr. John Koonce, died yes terday evening at his home near Dover, oi hydrophobia, developed from the bite of a mad dog nine weeks ago. His death was attended with all the horrors which have been pic tured of this awful derangement and was most pitiable. The patient was so violent at times that it was nec essary to bind him to prevent his at tacking persons around his bed. In fact it is stated that several received scratches on the hands and somg fears are entertained that the germs was transferred from the afflicted man by reason of mucous ar.d saliva being on his hands: Mr. Koonce was bitten by the dog while on the public road, nine weeks ago, and afterwards helped to kill the brute, which was thought to have been mad. About a week ago Mr. Koonce remarked to some of his friends that he felt that he had hydrophobia and soon the symptoms became alarming. -Not being finan cially able to go to Pasteur Institute for treatment, a physician was called in, but he knew after diagnosing his case that it was hopeless. . The awful disease developed rap idly and the patient would toss and rave when the "spells" struck him, and showed every sign of intense suffering. He had rational moments nearly up to the last. The good people of Dover made up a purse to defray the expense ef the physician's services, but the young doctor, who is one of Kins ton's most successful practitioners, refused all renumeration and kindly contributed his services free of charge. The case is interesting in that it is probably the first bona fide case of hydrophobia in this section for many years. If the preachers would attend a term of Wayne criminal court, they would be convinced that their is need of missionary work a little bit nearer home than China or Africa. COSTS NOTHING UNLESS CURED. A Fair Otter made By J. H. Hill & Son to All Slitters from Ca- ' tarrli. J. H. Hill A Son are selling Hy omeiona plan that has caused consid erable talk among their customers The plan is different from that fol lowed by other remedies, but the remedy itself is different also. This treatment for the cure of catarrh has such an unusual record of cures to its credit that J. H. Hill & Son offer to refund the money if it does not give the desired benefit. This is certainly one of the fairest offers that can be made and any one who has catarrh and does not take advantage of it is doing himself or herself and injus tice. The Hyoraei treatment consists of a small hard rubber inhaler that can be carried in the vest pocket or purse, a medicine dropper and a bottle of Hyomei. The complete treatment costs but $1.00 and as the inhaler will last a lifetime the medicine is very inexpensive. Many people who have used it write that for the good Hyomei has done them they would willingly pay thousands of dollars. Extra bottles of. Hyomei can be procured for use with the inhaler at 50c. Do not suffer any longer with tickling, smartinjg, burning, eye- watering troubles that afflict those who have catarrh. Hyomei will cure you, but if. you should not find it adapted to your , case, J. H. Hill A Bon will return your money. ARGUMENT IS BEGUN. A Verdict is Not Expected in the White Brothers Case Before Wednesday. Salisbury, N. C, Sept. 12. The evidence in the White brothers' mur der trial, which has been in progress here since last Thursday, was con cluded to-day when argument by the counsel began. The opening speech was made by Judge Mont gomery, of Concord, for the defense, who laid down the law in the case. He was followed by T. C. Linn, Esq., of Salisbury, of course for the State. Others who will speak for the defense are Senator Lee S. Overman and Hon. C. B. Watson,, of Winston- j Salem. Capt. RWB. Glenn will close j the argument in behalf bf the State. A verdict is not expected before Wednesday. The trial of the White brothers has attracted perhaps more attention and larger crowds than any murder case heard in this section of the State for ten years. All parties connected with the case on either side are prominent and well 'known in this part of North Carol infc. TAK HEELS PLAY TOUGH. Some of the First Regiment Loot Stores in Reidsville. "Reidsville, N. C, Sept. 12, 1904. When the train loaded with-the First Regiment North Carolina sol diers stopped here this morning en route home from the army manoeu vers at Manassas, several of the men left the car and proceeded to lot some of the nearby stores. Ed. Mil lers place entered and something' over one hundred dollars worth of goods taken by the crowd of toughs. Wm. Young's saloon was not over looked during the line of march, and that concern's stock of intoxicants was greatly reduced. Other mer chants had enough forethought to lock up theirplace-j of business and stay away until the soldiers, took their departure. Mayor Watt says he will notify Governor Aycock: and put in a claim for damages. The other soldiers were quite orderly, none giving Reidsville any trouble save the North Carolinians. Democratic Speaking. Hon. Richard N. Hackett, will address the people at the following times and places: Smithfield, September 21. Dunn, September 22. Goldsboro, Septem ber 23, at night.

If you have kidney trouble, yon can gee quicK reuei Dy taking Bomi'i Batons, Only 25c, a box at druggists Students at A. & M. College Re volt: a Pretty Howdy Do. The news come3 from Raleigh this morning that the students of the State- Agricultural and Mechanical College have refused to obey the rules, to do any work, go to the city withont permsssion, and threaten to leave the college unless the Faculty accedes to the demands of the stu dent. , Well, now, really, is this not a most beautiful, a most lovely how dy do? iThe students' "demand" what shall be done and what shall not be done. Thse students know more than the faculty. The general impression is that young men and boys go off to Col lege to receive instruction from ex perienced and learned men. The new, regulations are reason able and right, and should be en forced at any cost. If there is any giving in or com promising on the part of the college authorities the future of the college will be one of disaster. The fact is, there should be a re turn to the old paths. Insubordina tion and defiance of authority go un punished in many homes, discipline is at a discount in most of the com mon schools, and by the time young America goes to college, be is ripe for revolts, and other things of like character. Every good citizen deeply regrets the trouble at the A. & M. College. Cur young men tore the hopeof the State. Unless they learn how to obey, they will be unfit to command. While the boys are clearly in the wrong, we sympathize with them, for it is hard to do right all the time, j The manly thing for them to do is to acknowledge they are wrong, ask forgiveness, and return to work. j One of the saddest things in life is j to see a young man make a serious, a fatal mistake just as he is about to entM' the door-way of manhood, witu ail of its duties and 'responsi bilities. ' A WARNING TO MOTHERS. By Ruth Penn in the Ladies Home Journal. Many a mother can speak from cruel experience of the danger or death brought to her children through the thoughtlessness or indif ference of other parents. Contagious diseases are spread, by carelessness or ignorance of proper precautions, to an extent hardly realized, which nevertheless threatens the physical welfare ot our children on every side; and carelessness in the spread of disease is nothing short of criminal. Traveling witji children is not safe, because they are constantly ex posed to some form of disease. One can hardly enter a car without hear ing the dreaded whooping cough, or coming in contact with sick children or infected clothing. Mothers take journeys with children having meao- les, whooping cough and scarlet fever. They allow their children, just recovering from this last disease, to go out among their playmates while still in the "peeling" stagf;. Boarding-school after boarding school is suspended on account of scarlet fever, clothing having been brought from infected homes. Schools might caution patrons through their catalogues againstsend ing pupils with infected clothing; health certificates might be required Of people taking Children into public places; physicians might require patients kept at home until all dan ger is over, and by all these means combined the danger of spreading" diseases would be lessened; but an effectual remedy would be the adop tion of the Golden Rule by mothers themselves. There are mothers who will thoughtlessly take children with contagious diseases to visit their neighbors; send them to church and to school; carry them into cars, and off to summer resorts, and into any public place, spreading death and destruction as they go. And then they wonder that so large a propor tion of chiliren die in infancy or Childhood. A Big Insurance Deal, Golds boro Parties Interested. Richmond News Leader. A charter has been granted to the D. R. Midyette Company (Incorpor ated), of this city, to conduct here a Southern agency of the Fidelity Mu tual Life Insurance Company. The capital stock, which has been paid in, is $100,0Q0. The concern will be the Southern headquarters of the Fidelity Mutual Life Insurance Company of Philadel phia, Pa., and all business relating to the corporation throughout the South will be handled in this city. The offices of the company will be located in the building now occupied by the American National Bank. The concern has purchased all the office fixtures of the bank, and will have an up-to-date office. The officers for the first year are: D. R. Midyette, president; C. G. Wallace, secretary and treasurer. The above and Eugene Col well, Jr., and Carroll' H. Jones are the direc tors. Mr. Midyette has been manager for the Fidelity Mutual Life Insur ance Company, in this city, lor more than twenty years. i Mr. Colwell, one of the directors, was formerly manager of the Greens boro Life Annuity Company at Greensboro, i. C., and C. H. Jones, up to a short while ago, was the general agent of the Fidelity Mutual Life Insurance Company in the state of South Carolina. C. G. Wallace, the secretary-treasurer of the new company, was form erly general agent in North Carolina for the Fidelity Mutual Life Insur ance company. This company is said to be con ducting the largest life insurance business in the South, and its busi ness quarters has grown to such pro portions that larger quarters and a larger working force were necessary. Ex-Governor O'Ferrall is attorney for the company. C. G. Wallace, who orgainzed the D. R. Midyette Company, and who is secretary and . treasurer of same, hai made Goldsboro his headquarters for the past eighteen months. Fort Worth, Texas, Sept. 12. The presence of a Russian warship at San Francisco has caused cotton shippers here to take out war risks. Much cotton is shipped from Texas to Japan. Risks are from 10 to 15 cents per bale. FAIREST KIND OF OFFER. If Miona Does not Cure Dysnep sia, Get Your Money Back at J. H. Hill & Son. You run no risk whatever in pur chasing Miona, Nature's cure for dys pepsia. Take it for a month (a 50c box con tains two weeks' treatment) and if it does not help you, bring back the empty boxes to J. II. Hill & Son and they will return your money in ac cordance with the following guaran tee: COUPON. This coupon entitles any reader of the Argus to have the purchase price of Mi-o-na refunded in case it does not increase the weight and cure stomach troubles. We assume all the risk, and Mi-o-na is abso lutely free unless it gives satisfac tion. J. H. Hill & Son. WE TAKE ALL RISK. This is the best time in the whole year to cure dyspepsia. The outdoor life, the lighter diet, the lessened work and worry, all help the cure. One bQt of Mi-o-na now will do more good than longer treatment at other seasons. It is hot an ordinary medicine, but Nature's remedy that cures and restores perfect and lasting health. 1 The strongest evidence that can be offered for the merits of Mi-o-na and its curative virtues is the guarantee under which it is sold by J. H. Hill & Son. They stand ready at all times to refund the price to any ne who has found that it has not ion all that ia claimed for it, Superior Court Notes. Henry Anderson got 12 months on the roads for stealing Capt. J. J. Robinson's chickens. Solicitor Armistead Jones is a vigorous, able prosecutor, but is at all times courteous to all. The Grand Jury is pushing busi ness rapidly and in a business-like way. Capt. J. E. Petersan is fore ma. A number of men were disppointed yesterday. Some of those .men wanted to get off the jury, anil some wanted to get on. The man that swears to his owk hurt is a scarce article in court houses. Perjury is a common crime, but hard to get at. The people of Goldsboro have by, a tremendous majority, said that. Goldsboro shall not have liquor sold in the city. We believe Judge Fur gerson will punish these people who have been convicted of violating the law. The seat3 in the court house are crowded wTith negroes, who love to hear criminal cases tried. On one occasion, the lamented Judge Shipp said: "This is the last case on the criminal side of the docket, the colored folks are discharged for the term." The charge of Judge Furgerson to the grand jury was full of chunks of wisdom. It was as clear as the ring of an ax on a hard wood tree, a clear frosty morning in December. Thia able lawyer and good man is exerting a fine influence all over the State. The office of a Superior Court Judge is a great field for usefulness, and Judge Furgerson is making the most of his great opportunity. Roxy Benson was convicted of sel ling a half pint of corn whiskey. Roxie is a colored damsel, who has been working for Lou Hays, a negro woman who keeps a restaurant, ia the neighborhood in which it is said that blind tigers dwell. A negro man was also convicted for selling whiskey on many occasions, and no doubt a streaked suit of clothes is waiting for him. Louis Johnson , an i ntelligent look ing negro, was tried for stealing a harse and buggy and five hams, from a farmer by the name of Holland, who lives a few miles from Fremont. The smoke house was broken open, buggy and hors? taken from stable, hams carried to Fremont, and horse turned loose. Johnson is a smart negro. A good long term ol eight years on the roads will keep John son away from smoke houses for a while at least. '' Letter to J. W. Winslw. Goldsboro, N. C, : Dear Sir: Have you found-out you can paint a job with fewer gallons Devoe than of anything else, lead-and-oil or anything else? Mr. Floyd Almy, House and Sign Painter, Greenwich, N. Y., found it out three years ago; he writes: "I have used Devoe lead-and-zinc for the past three yeare, and cannot say too much in its favor. I am using it now on a big job that I took by con tract, and it has saved me at least $25 ia the cost of material." Devoe is the strongest paint we know-of; goes furtherest; takes less of it to do your job. Lead-and-oil is pure; lead-and-zinc is stronger; covers more; goes further. Have you found out you can paint a gallon Devoe in less time than a gallon of anything else? That means less time for the job. Less time; less money. Less paint; less money for that; less time, less money for that. Devoe lasts longer; do you mind the less. money for that? You are sure of it. Yours truly, F. W. DEVOE & CO. P. S.Smith and Yelverton, sell oui . paint. - Pink cheeks and golden hair, Blue eyes full ot glee; 5Ch secret of her prettiness, Is Rocky Mountain Tea. " giggfiag Djug Co. a . ?.-.. V4;
