Raleigh is very much mortified at the "reception" tendered the Rowlands on their acquttai Sunday morning. Great crowds met them and covered them with flowers and the News and Observer express great regret. Why? Human nature is by nature kind and the fact that these people, one of whom was a good looking woman, were, ac quitted escaped the noose appealed to them. Truth is the woman caused most of it. Probably a good many congratulated the Rowlands who would not do it again. But Raleigh need not be ashamed; the incident is human that's all. FIRST BEAR HUNT. President and Party Take to The Cane Breaks. (By Special Wire to the Argus.) 1 Stamboul, Oct. 9 President Roose velt and party were up bright and early this morning and started out on a bear hunt. A good day'sisport is anticipated as the weather is fine. The success of Col. Bryan's new book"THE Oii World and Its Ways" gives striking testimony to his hold on the popular mind. It recounts and profusely illustrates his recent journey around the world. It has been issued five months, and we are advised that. in that short period, four large-editions aggregating 41,000 copies have beeii called lor. The reports of agents, which have been submitted to us, would indicate that the demand for it is well nigh spontaneous and univer salthat it exceeds that for any other book published for the subscription trade since the period of "Grant's Memoirs." Col. Bryan's book with like success depends upon no sympa thetic element for its strength. But it has on the part of the people the en during feeling of personal confidence in tbe great moral and intellectual in tegrity of its author. It lhas an equally pronounced ad miration lor his brilliant abilities, and the iuntiring energy that enabled him to cover the world in his noted tour and to photograph and describe it in his . inimitable way. Without of ficial place Col. Bryan ia everywhere regarded, at home and abroad, as a vital force in American affairs. As a student of men and of government, and of governmental conditions, his ob servations and conclusions profoundly interest the people. Hence the great sale of his books, descriptive of men and things seen during his noted tour around the world and through the Na tions. It is vitalized by 251 artistic en gravings, from photographs taken by him or under his supervision, repre senting men, places and things that interested him and that specially in terest every American reader. It is a most unique .presentation of a wonder fully interesting- journey that has caught the attention of the people, and met with great demand. It is sold only through soliciting agents. The Thompson Publishing Company, of St. Louis, Mo., are the fourtunate publishers. The principal feature with Buffalo Bill's Wild West this season is a repro duction of The Battle of Summit Springs, one of the deciding conflicts in the Government's task of subduing the red-skin. Col. Wm. F. Cody ("Buffalo Bill") participated in the original battle on July 11th, 1869, at Summit Springs, near the western bor der of Nebraska. In this battle Chief Tall Bull, who was in command of the renegade Indians, or "Dog Soldiers," as they were called, was shot and kill ed, at a distance of about forty yards, by Buffalo Bill, who shot him from his horse. This important incident will, of course, be reproduced as a part of the realistic mimic battle. Gen. E. A. Carr, who was in command of the gov ernment forces; Gen. E. M. Hayes, Gen. Wm. P. Hall, and other officers who participated in the original battle are still alive and will be impersonated in the battle scene in the Wild West. Incidental to the battle scene will be shown many interesting features of Indian life; the erection of an Indian village will be shown, and incidents of Indian camp-life will be faithfully de picted. The attack by the troops un der Gen. Carr, will constitute a stir ring scene and the rigors of war will be dramatically illustrated. The bat tle of Summit Springs, while the chief feature of the exhibition, will by no means constitute the only scene of western life. There will also be "The Great Train Hold-Up," showing one of many scenes of lawlessness which have followed the westward march of civilization, and there will be a holi day at T-E Ranch, in which scene there will be blended the pleasures and pastimes or tne plainsmen witn tne borrows of an Indian attack upon the whites. The three big scenic features will be ot exceptional interest because of their historic correctness and because of their value as replicas ot scenes taken from an eventful period in our nation's past. The exhibitions of horsemanship by the Rough Rider contingent will form a novel and interesting section of the programme and at every performance Buffalo Bill will be in the saddle di recting the entertainment and partici pating therein. The date of this great attraction's appearance in Goldsboro is Friday of next week October 18. P. Morgan Leads With His Personal Check for One Hundred Thousand Dollars. Special to The Argus.

It manifested itself in patches varying from the size of a pea to that of a silver dollar. The joints of our limbs were most affected. The parts where the skin was tender soon became raw and irritated and we were able to sleep but little because the itch ing got so bad at night. My sister con sulted a physician but he was unable to name the disease and the treatment he prescribed did no good at all. As the warm weather came on we were tor tured worse than ever, the irritated parts causing us to scratch until ttiey would bleed. In August, when it was at its worst, my sister was given a cake of Cuticura Soap. This she tried and it afforded so much relief that I bought the complete treatment, con sisting of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint ment, and Cuticura Pills. This we used according to directions and imme diately the humor began to disappear. I then bought another set and the whole family were cured by these two, the blotches disappearing in ten days. Af ter this we used the Cuticura Pills for ten days more to be sure that the humor had gone to stay. We have not been troubled since and we all think that if it had not been for the Cuticura Reme dies we would have been suffering yet. George W. Brown, 18 Linden St., Rock land, Mass., Jan. 28, 1907." DISFIGURING Humors Eczemas, and Itchings Cured by Cuticura. The agonizing itching and burning of the skin, as in eczema; the frightful scaling, as in psoriasis ; the loss of hair and crusting of scalp, as in scalled head, all demand a remedy of extraordinary virtues to successfully cope with them. That Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Pills are such stands proven by testimonials of remarkable cures when all else has failed. A Single Set often Cures.

Simser, Grant, Ontario, Can., writes : "I had not been well for about fom? years. bad kidney trouble, and, la fact, felt badly nearly all tbe time.
