GOLDSBORO, N. C, JUNE 20 1907 LIMIT IN FIENDISH IRIME. THE CASE THICKENS. . According to reports trom Roekwood, Term., two men have confessed having attempted to wreck a passenger train. on the Southern railway last Tuesday for the purpose of robbing the dead. While the attempt did not succeed, it appears that the fiends placed dynamite on the track on a trestle one hundred feet high. It is scarcely possible to conceive of a more horrible crime that of deliberately blowing up a whole passenger train on a high trestle. Had the plot succeeded no doubt most of the passengers would have been in stantly killed or seriousiy injured, and many of them terribly mangled. And this diabolical plan was attempted solely tor robbery. The thing is horri ble to contemplate. v It these two men did plan the work, as stated, they both deserve to be ex ecuted, whether or not anybody was killed or injured. There should be no place in this country for any man who would attempt a crime of this sort. He should be put where it will never be possible for him to do so again: this, in the interest of public safety, if nothing else. The Rowland's Committed to Jail Without Bail ItLEGRAPHiC BREVITIES Vice-President Fairbanks says he did not say in his speech at Chatta nooga that the late (General Wheeler told the late President McKinley that he (Wheeler) fought against the United States flag under a mask. That settles it, even if General Wheeler did not need vindication. Mr. E. H. Harriman is reported to have purchased another railroad. At least he got possession of it, and the former stockholders will probably have to grit their teeth and make the best of the deal. No doubt a source of humiliation to the respectable citizens ot San Francis co is the contemplation of its chiet magistrate transacting the municipal ity's business from behind prison bars. Then again it appears that Mayor Schmitz, of San Francisco, got at least a part of what was coming to him. Even in a city steeped in corruption, a notorious gralter is apt to come to griel sooner or later. Defendants' Attomsys Preparing 'to Sue Out a Writ of Habeas Corpus, In the Hope of Securing Adrnis sion to Bail. By special wire to The Argus. Raleigh, N. C, June 18. The Row lands' lawyers today are preparing to take the case before some Supreme or Superior Court Judge on a writ of Habeas corpus, hoping thereby to secure release from jail ot both doctor Rowland and wife, whose commitment last night by the coroner astounded the people here, many of whom expected that both would be released. The cornor's hearing was entirely exparte and defendants had no show to introduce evidence, nor even to cross examine the State's witnesses. There was evidence enough to show probable cause, and that was all the coroner needed to hold the Rowlands, but this may not be strong enough to convict either on trial betore a jury. Delightful Dance. One of the largest attended and de lightful dances of the season was given at the City Hall last night compliment ary to the visiting young ladies. The following couples attended: Jake Mayerberg with Miss Mabel Howell, Mac Wilson with Miss Grace Butler, Frank Creech with Miss Blanche King, Faank Castex with Miss Clara Porter, Dick Whitakr (of Kinston) with Miss Edgerton, of Genoa, Raton Slaughter with Miss Bessie Edwards, Edgar Bein with Miss Ellen Kirby, William Smitti with Miss Grace South erland, Robert Parrott with Miss La Rogue, ot Kinston, Leslie Hummel with Miss Paris, ot Rocky Mount, Adam Davis with Miss Douglas Hill, of Durham, Charlie Weill (of Rocking ham) with Miss Beatrice Schwab, Geo.

Are the Japs hunting for trouble in bunches? It is reported that Walter Wellman will be ready to sail for the pole about August 15. Meantime he might get busy on his explanations ot why he didn't get there. Philadelphia is promised filtered wa ter in a few weeks. That city has for years been almost as badly in need ot filtered water as of disinfected public morals. William Dean Howells' statement that it is a crime for poets to accept pay for their poems suggests that a good many chronic bards would make more by accepting pay not to write. Those Central American countries appear to have formed the habit of go ing to war almost any day before breakfast to get up an appetite. $100IRewara, $100.

Miss Pearl Woodard, who has been in Whitakers attending school, return ed home Saturday, where her many friends are glad to see her. Mr. Lawson Neal, who has a position as engineer on the road of the lumber company at Princeton, spent Sunday here with his family. Mr. Henry Hood, of the Mt. Olive section, spent Saturday night and Sun day in our community on business of special interest. The slump in prices of beans has caused our truckers to wear longer faces than usual. But our limited ex perience in trucking has brought us to the conclusion that when one enters the field of trucking he had as well pre pare for anything that comes. He may make on a few shipments and then lose more than he ever made by the market going to pieces, when he has the most goods to deliver. Among the visitors at Ebenezer last Sunday afternoon were Mr. and Mrs. Richard Johnson, of Goldsboro, and Mr. and Mrs. George Johnson, of Macon, Ga., shaking hands with old friends and relatives in their home neighborhood. Since the weather has got ton to be more spring-like, although it is the good old summer time, all but the weather, the crops are looking better and the farmers seem encouraged and are hard at work just as it they were guaranteed a big crop, and a bigger price. They are the most hopeful class of men in the world, anyway, and mostly optimistic in the full sense oi the term. The Children's Day exercises at Eb- ernezer last Sunday afternoon were at tended by the largest gathering of peo ple seen there in some time. The ex ercises were highly entertaining, some of the recitations being ot a class that would reflect credit on older heads, and more carefully trained minds. The singing was, as usual, very good, and the entire programme was one of inter est, calculated to make us feel proud of our community, and stimulate us to still higher and more earnest endeavor in promoting the moral and religions welfare of the hearts of the children, which will insure them both temporal and eternal reward. Capt. J. E. Peterson and son Henry, of your city, were visitors at Ebenezer Sunday, where the genial Capt, in his usual happy style, addressed the vast throng, after the children's exercises were over, which contributed very much to the enjoyment of the occasion. Ha is an entertaining speaker, with a rieart always in accord witli any meas ure which has for its purpose the bet terment of his fellow man, nd especial ly in the advancement ot church and Sunday school work. We were glad to have hime with' us, and feel assured, that his remarks" were not only enjoy ed by all present, but were good, and sown upon good ground. . Mr. . Norman Hood, one of Bill Thompson's neighbors tells it on him, that the hail and continued unfavor able weather had given Bill a pretty bad case of the bines. So much so that he had lost part of his usual jovial and happy disposition. But, on last Friday when the sun shone out, and the weath er warmed up, so as. to make cotton look a little greasy, in plowing near by, he heard something, and upon in vestigation found that the gentle rays of the summer sun, so long delayed, had not only had the desired effect upon growing crops, but also had at tuned Bills lips to sweetest song. Messrs. W. II. Huggins and Geo. Baker, of your city, were out here fish ing last Friday, and when they left the river about three miles above here, their horse walked off and left them, and when le tound he was out of their reach, he ran away and was not stopped till he reached Oak Glenn. Mr. Her bert Howell headed him off, and strange to say, he had not broken the buggy, though running a cart path a good part of tue way and havingturned the buggy over in a gulley, and drag ging it some distance. Herbert says the horse was not hard to stop, in fact, he thinks he was mighty glad some body stopped him, as he was nearly run down. There are numerous mocking birds around our humble home, and every day their sweet notes can be heard from the old apple tree; on the corner . of the barn; or from the old mimosa, which shades the dust of our. sleeping loved ones. And not only in the day time, but also at night, this sweet songster gives forth notes of sweetest melody One night last week in the extreme "wee sraa hours," while a death like stillness hung over sleeping nature, and not a whisper of the slightest zephyr could be heard among the stately oaks, on the old apple tree near the bai n, his little throat was attuned to sweetest minstrelsy, and he seemed to join the myriads of twinkling stars, as they looked down on him from their far away pathway in the skies, in pro claiming, "The Hand that Made us is Divine." if such a scene as this, at such an nour, listening to sueu music from one of naturessweetest minstrels does not appeal to our inmost soul and cause the chords of our hearts affections to vibrate with responsive melody, and draw us nearer to nature's God, we are indeed unfortunate in not being su sceptible to the higher influences which are brought to bear upoir our lives to point us to the higher life. NORFOLK i HJU i It is a pleasure to his many old friends hereabouts to see back here, on a visit to relatives. Mr. Ben Murphey, older brother of Mr. George Murphrey, arid who left here some 12 years ago to make his home in Florida, where he is prospering in fruit and truck growing. The Board of Trustees in session yes terday afternoon decided to locate the new high school building on the corner of Kornegay and Walnut streets. The board purchased an entire square of over four acres, which, when beauti fied, will make one ol the most attrac tive pieces of property in Gqldsboro.
