Guilty of No Wrong B u t Considers v Comfort of Aged and Invalid Mother. (Special Wire to the Argus) Raleigh, N. C, July 20. Convicted by the jury of Wake Superior court of violating the law by sell ing tickets tor the Southern Rail- way, . passenger agent, - T E.-Green yesterday chose to pay a nominal-fine in lieu of running the risk of such sen tence as the court might impose upon him. . . The southern Railway, his principal, was then fined by Judge Long the sum of thirty thousand dollars and an exe cution ordered to issue. Mr.; Green, who had previously re fused to give bond, and actually per mitted himself to be pui in jail for one night, and who was still in the custody of the court, was told by Judge long that he had the option, either to- obey the court and promise to refrain in the future from selling tickets at the illegal rate or of continuing in the attitude d'f defiance and disobedience to the-court, i 4, After consultation, Mr. Green' an nouneed through an attorney that the fact that he had an aged mother in a delicate condition of health constrained him to pay the nominal fine of $5 and take the obligation to discontinue sales at the illegal rate although he did not consider that he -had committed any wrong or crime. In pronouncing sentence of $30,000 fine upon the Southern, Judge Long stated that the time had come when there was a parting of the ways; that the situation he had faced was, first, to obey his oath and the law of the land; second, to smother his conscience and forget his duty or fail to perform it; or, third, to resign as a judge of the Su perior Court of North Carolina. He had taken the first course. The defendant, Southern Railway, had put itself in an attitude of studied defiance to law and had sought to deprive the State courts of their jurisdiction. The sentence having been imposed, the counsel for the Southern stated that, under the rule, they had ten days in which to give notice of appeal, but made no move actually to appeal to the Supreme Court. The recourse of the Southern Rail way, as talked upon the streets, is that it will now apply to Judge Pritchard ior an injunction against the carrying out of the order of the court by the sheriff of Wake county. The matter rests in the future. It now looks as though the State has won the preliminary fight and that the forum through which the" right" of the State to proceed under the rate bill will have been found and its decision ob tained before, reasonably, the pending litigation before Judge Pritchard' shall have scarcely left the hands ot the spe cial master. , !n .... Green by promising to bey Judge Long's order not to sell anymore tick ets at excess rate has divorced himself from his job. 'Whether the Southern will care for him in another position is not know, and Green refuses to talk. The appeal to the Supreme Court will be taken up at the September term. At Asheville today Judge Pritchard is continuing the hearing s of, the .habeas corpus case1 of Wilson and -Ward. I Judge Long today adjourned Wake Superior Court for the term, .and things' are now quiet and lonely around the court house, by comparison with the scenes of the past few days.. . ROASTED ALIVE. " FARMERS' INSTITUTE To Be Held in Wayne County at Pow ell's Springs, August 12th, and at Woodland, August 13th. Institute for Women. The annual Farmers' Institute for Wayne county will be held at Powell's Springs, Monday, August 12th, and at Woodland, Tuesday, August 13th, 1907. There.will be two or three speakers present from the State Department of Agriculture in addition to the local speakers. These institutes are for a free and in formal discussion ot .every-day tarm problems, and no farmer can attend and take part in these discussions without receiving more than enough benefit to pay for the time spent, Xo attempt will be made at this meet ing to lay down hard and fast rules by which any man should run his farm, but improved farming methods will be discussed and. the reasons why these methods are better than many of those now practiced will be given. We are assured that no speaker will recom mend anything he has not himself done and that dozens of farmers in this part of the State are not also doing at this time. Do not forget the date of this meet ing, Powell's Springs, Monday, August 12th; Woodland, Tuesday, August 12th, 1907 and see that your neighbors know of it and attend. ; ' f In connection with the regular an- nual 'Farmer's .'Institute, for Wayne county, to be held at the above named places, there will also be held a meet ing for the Women from the farms. 6ne'or two - women speakers will be present from the State Department; ot Agriculture and these will be assisted by , the men conducting the men's - in stitute. As this meeting will be held on the same day and at the same place as the Farmer's Institute, a joint meet ing of the men and women may be ar ranged for the afternoon. The women have even greater and more perplexing problems in the homes than the men have on the farms. Why should they not come together and dis cuss these problems and get inspira tion and help in solving them? We have heard of no woman attend ing such an institute who did not be- come interested. WHY NOT G0LDSB0R0? TO POOR, THAT'S ALL Henry A. Page Enters Protest and Explains. Horrible Electrocution In Obio To day. Special to The Aegtjs. Columbus, July 19. The electrocu tion of Henry White here this morning, for the murder of Marshall Basere, was a most horrible and sickening affair. Twice the electric current failed to kill the condemned man, who writhed in agony. . . .N :.: The third time the current was al lowed to remain on until the body was rtually roasted. . ' In a Signed Statement He takes lssse With Governor Aycock as to tfee "Smaller Reads." . (By special;wire to The Argus.) Raleigh, N. C, July 20. In a signed communication in the Evening Times, of this city, this afternoon, Henry A. Page, president of the Aberdeen fc Ashboro Railway, says that Governor Ayeock's statement In his argument to the jury, in the Green case yesterday, that the smaller roads . are peaceably obeying the law, is misleading. ,"That the smaller roads are peace ably obeying the law is due to the fact," saysMY. Page,' "that they are too poor to bear the heavy expense of fighting the new act." - f.j : VThat certainly is so in the case of the Aberdeen & Ashboro road;,"- says Mr. Page, and then in a forceful man ner, k characteristic of all his public writings, he makes an earnest protest against the confiscatory ; rate legisla tion. .'. 'r ' nJ?-"' A A Good Complexion. "Every young person should be im pressed with the truth that a good complexion depends upon pure blood and a healthy condition of the stom ach. It cannot be secured by the use of . outward ; applications. Hood's SarsapariUa gives a good complexion and a fair skin because it makes the blood rich and pure and tones and regulates, the 'stomach. Pimples, blackheads and all similar eruptions which so disfigure ; the face are promptly removed by Hood's Sarsa pariUa which thoroughly -eradicates 11 foul taints Jfrom the blood. When it ..takes a man a long time to wink it is a sign that he has had too much. ' Fight Is On For the Head Offices of a New Insurance Company. The Charlotte News of yesterday con tains the follewing, that it seems to us should awaken interest and action here: "It is very evident that the most prom nent cities of the state are going to "make a strong fight to secure the head offices or the Merchants' Fire Insurance Company, which Mr. J. Frank Flowers, of this city, has undertaken to organize among the retail merchants of North Carolina. The Chamber of Commerce of Greensboro, has already advised as to what must be done to secure the headquarters of the company. Winston Salem is pressing her claim, also. Char lptte has better chances, however, than either of the other two cities and it is altogether up to the business people of the city to determine whether they want the head offices or not. . "It would mean an investment of $100,000 to $150,000, and is worth striv ing after. The city which gives the company the most business will De the city that gets the prize. .The Queen City being the best in the state ought to lay hold the proposition with vigor in order to uphold her claim to superi ority." There you are! What is Goldsboro going to do about it? No city in the State is so advantage ously located as Goldsboro for the head office of the above and similar enter prises. 10 ' MARCH650 MILES The Schedule Allows Forty- fourvDays Fcr the TTrip 30 Marching .

ItlvQuld be awful hard on the butrs andthings if nobotly'kept gardens for inem. r -, It is officially announced that the Southern Railway Company will at once purchase fifty new locomotives, seventy-five passenger coaches, four dining cars, six combination mail and baggage cars, six combination passen ger and baggage cars and two hundred cabooses. ' The general purpose in view in or dering this new equipment is the strengthening of the passenger and freight service of the railway. The new coaches are to be of the most ap proved modern type. It is the purpose ot the company in ordering these coaches not only to supply immediate needs, but, in a measure, to anticipate future needs. The fifty locomotives will be of the lighter type and for service on lines not now requiring the heavy type of engine now in use on some of the main lines. The 200 new caboose cars are neces sary to supply a need which has grown out of the rapid increase in freight train serviee the cabooses now in service not being sufficieut in number to prop erly equip freight trains. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. Probably the Best Way to Remedy the Nuisance Would Be To Com mence With the Parents. "That's what makes me remain a bachelor," said a man seated at a table in a popular restaurant. "That young ster has kept those two women and the man busy attending to his wants, and the little chatter-box has been running tue whole conversation to suit himself. "It used to be a proverb that 'little boys should be seen, not heard,' but now the little boy is seen, heard and felt and always to the annoyance of everyone but his proud parents. There's nothing in the world I like bet ter than a well behaved child, but that species is fast disappearing and in its stead we find the precocious little imp aged 4 or 5, the terror oi visitors. "Much as I detest sueli children, I cannot forget that it is not altogether their fault. They have never been taught better, they have been allowed to grow up without a vestige of paren tal control; ill-reared ill-mannered and willful to the last degree. Parents seem to forget that their children are reflections of themselves, with this dif ference that the parents are able to hide their bad manners in public but the children are sure to sfcow theirs. Pro bably the best way to remedy the nuis ance would be to commence with the parents and give them a few lessons in the art of rearing children so that they won't be the bane ot life to men like men." ; ' ' - , !'- - ' The United States.

New York Sun. ? t V'W hen I see the deserted .shrines of your forefathers," Count Tolstoi is re ported as saying to a visitor to whom he predicted the downfall of the United States, "I think , it will come more swiftly than the fall of Rome." 4 Perhaps it is unnecessary to point out to Count Tolstoi that one great dif ference between Rome before its fall and the United States of today is that Rome had been cursed with seweral crazy Caesars, notably Caligula and Nero, together with an ignorant iand violent populace, This combination accelerated the destruction of the 'em pire. ) - . S ' In the case of the Uni ted States the populace consists of some ninety mil lions of sovereigns, mostly sane, most ly right sooner or later in their politi cal judgments, and representing the highest average the world ever knew of conservative thought, lntellectua energy and patriotic obedience to law.

On His Release From Prison To-morrow "Anderson" Will be Greeted by His Wife and Three-year-old Daughter. Special to the Argus. Leavenworth, Kansas, July 18. John William January, the modern "Jean Valjean," whose arrest and re turn to prison last spring attracted at tention throughout the country, is to be given his freedom tomorrow, in ac cordance with the terms of the pardon granted by President Roosevelt on the advice of Attorney-General Bona parte. ' It was in 1895 that January was con- water, Ukia., tuat contained, m post office. He was sentenced to five years in : the federal penitentiary at. Fort Leavenworth, from which institution he escaped after serving thmte years. After working through Kansas first as a quarryman and then as a traveling salesman, he went to Kansas City, changed his name to Charles H. An derson, and married. He engaged in several kinds of business, finally be coming proprietor of a restaurant, and was well respected. On April 20 last he was rearrested through information furnished by a former convict who had known him in prison. On the day Anderson was re turned to prison a movement was be gun by the Kansas City newspapers to secure his pardon. Three days latr petitions bearing 20,000 names were forwarded to President Roosevelt. Within another two days a second batch of petitions was sent to Wash ington, bringing the total number of signers to 40,000. Many prominent persons were among those who recom mended a pardon. On the strength of these petitions and the evidence fur nished that Anderson had led an hon-1 est and upright life after his escape from Prison Attorney General Bona parte recommended to the President that the sentence be comminuted to three months from the date of the rearrest and that he be pardoned at the end of that time. On his release from prison tomorrow "Anderson" will be greeted by his wife and three-year-old daughter. He has already announced his inten tion to return to Kansas City and en gage in business.

I had tried doctor after doctor for three months but none helped him. Then I was ad vised to try Cuti- " cura. My drug-, gist said that he could give me a salve that would help him, but I de manded Cuticura Ointment and after using it for a while I was surprised to see an fmprov ment. I treated the sores with Cuticura Ointment on soft bandages after washing with warm water and Cuticura Soap, and gave him the Cuticura Pills. In two weeks he was al most cured, and after the steady use of Cuticura Remedies for two or three months I can now say that I have one of the finesfrboys in town, and I tell all my neighbors that he owes his health to Cuticura. Later my little daughter was all covered with sores on her face and body. I didn't waste much time or money with doctors, as I had done when my boy was sick, but used the Cuticura Remedies on her, and now my little girl is entirely cured. I send you her photo graph to show how she looks after we . used Cuticura.
