Alitor Lltlzens Should Foster This Organization That is so Cap able of Accomplishing a Greater Goltfsboro When Given fall Opportunity. - The intelligent observation of saga cious business men and the gratifying experience of progressive commnni ties in the realisation dfsubstantial de velopment and permanent prosperity through the medium of popularly fost ered Building and Loan Associations have brought this comparatively mod ern engine ol community progress into general recognition, and every com munity that would be prosperous fails to achieve the .highest results if it does nnt fnistfir a local Building and Loan Association. A Building and Loan Association is for its stockholders and the upbuild- itiet of itscitv. No man who resides out ot the city in which the associa tions operate is given the privilege oi hflfiomincr a member for the real ob ject is not to make one man or a dozen men rich, but to aid every man or wo man in the community to save money or to buy a home. Doing this not only helps the individual, but helps the town. There are very few men vrpo cannot carry irom five to a dozen shares of stock in a Building and Loan Associa tion. It costs only 25 cents a week for each share and at the end of six and a half years, or thereabouts, the holder can draw out his money with interest at 4 or 6 per cent, as the case may be. It he so desires, he may build himself a home with the money he has paid in, and he saves that money that he other wise would pay rent with. Theoretically and praetically, Build ing and Loan Associations are good things. The Building and Loan Asso ciations ol Charlotte have been a great factor in making that city what it is. We are told that even newsboys of that town are carrying Bhares, along with the great corporations, and the youth ot that city are being encourag ed to become moneyed men. The men at the head of our Building and Loan Association are the best busi ness men of the city. They are not in the business for money for them selves every member, though he car ries only one share, is on a par with tke man who has three hundred. The money paid in is judiciously handled xor the investors and returned with in terest. A very little effort is required ot a member. He is asked to keep up his payments, and if he is unable to do this, he does net lose his money. A IJuilding and Loan Association is a community-of-interest affair. It is realy a good thing. Every man and woman in Goldsboro should hold stock to the extent of their capacity. To-Day's Passing Events Boiled Down For Bosy Readers. (By special wire to The Argus.) iraflPHEVIIItS.

Constable, Secretary. Ministerial Union of Goldsboro.N. C. March 2, 1908. To the Authorities and Citizens of Goldsboro: We feel it to be our duty to call atten tion to the violation of the Prohibition Laws of our city. These violations have become so open and daring as to be a stench in the nostrils ot decency and we are constrained to express ourselves on this subject and to direct a . . WT - A. i i.t - vour minas to mis iaci. waat is iuo m atter that these violators cannot be arraigned and made to answer at the bar of justice and a stop put to the iniquitous traffic? Are we afraid, or is ot manhood and sense of obligation as citizens of this Commonwealth so perverted that we pass these things by unnoticed and allow this evil to flaunt itself in our very faces. Surely we have been asleep too long. Awake thou that sleepest and realize the conditions as they have fastened themselves upon us. Why do our authorities have an eye to only one side of thi evil? Why only watch the Negro and the suspicious character who comes into our town with a quart or a gallon? When there are eighteen places in our midst who have United States .permits for the sale of liquor, and who are oarrying on their business in violation of the will of the people as expressed in recent Prohibition elections. Ye who sit in authority in Goldsboro, unto whom the enforcement the law is entrusted sit up ana take notice, tor it seems ye have been unable to findSthese places though someof them be almost under the shadow of our stately City Hall We append here to a list of those wh have United States permits to sell liquor and are thus defying the wishes of the people and violating our law. This list f firms and individuals is taken from the list of those who have been granted these permits for the Eafct rn Revenue District of N. C, and as published in the Raleigh News & Observer of Wednesday, Feb. 26, 1908. According to oar Statute Law the possession of such a permit or license is prima facie evidence of the tact that they are dealers. We call upon our authorities to look into this matter, ascertain the facts, do all in their pow er to arrest the violators of our law and put a stop to the reign ot blind tigers and licensed shops in our midst, assuring them of oar sympathy and readiness to give them our moral sup port in this work.

The Ministerial Association of this oity in the issue of the Argus yesterday, published an announcement to the cit izens of Goldsboro, in which some very surprising accusations were made un der the headlines "Ministers Heard From." We eelieve that the ministers of Goldsboro have the interests of all the people of this city at heart, and are working for the moral uplift of this community. We believe them all to be Godfearing men, striving with an eye single for the advancement of God's kingdom on the earth, and with a desire to do in Justice to none, but they have made statements in the article above referred to, which are calculated to damage not only our business, but the characters or those connected with it, which we cannot permit to go unchallenged. Because we possess a retail liquor license, for the purpose of selling alco hoi for the benefit of the sick, and to supply our wholesale trade, whioh license we are compelled to have that we may not violate the internal reve nue statute, we ate accused by the Ministerial Association ot running a blind tiger, and of violating the State and oity prohibition laws. What would our physicians do in cases of typhoid fever and other ail inents where it is absolutely necessary to give their patients sponge baths of alcohol if they could not purchase it? Not one drop of whiskey has ever been sold by us, either over the countor or on physician's prescription, since the passage of the Watts' law, and we challenge both the Ministerial Associa ton and others to deny it. We are the only drug concern in Goldsboro who have the right to retail alcohol for medicinal purposes. An ounce of precaution is worth pound of explanation, and we would most respectfully admonish these good men "to be sure they are right, and then go ahead." The prohibition cause is not helped by such onslaughts upon the charac ters ol our citizens and the city admin istration. To substantiate our position before the good people of our community, we quote as follows from their article of yesterday: "Yvnat is the matter that these vio lators cannot beBarraigned and made to answer at the bar of Justice and a stop put to the iniquitous traffic' Why watch the negro and the sus picious character who comes into ou town with a quart or gallon when there are eighteen places in our midst who have United States'1 permits for the sale of liquor, and who are now carry ing on their business in violation o the will of the people as expressed in recent prohibition elections?" We append hereto a list ot those who have United States permits to sell liquor, and are thus defying the wishes of the people and violating our law." We are thus classed with those who are running blind tigers, and who are violating our laws, when by a little in quiry they oould have ascertained why we had this government license, and not hare misrepresented us before the community. The position or those who are connected with this business on th prohibition question is too well known to this commumtv for them to think for one moment that we would be guilty of abusing our privilege, or to shield ourselves behind this license for the purpose of dispensing whiskey. "He who steals my purse, steal trash, but he who robs me of my good name, takes that which net only does n t enrich him, but makes me poor in deed." Yours respectfully, Goldsboro Drug Company., Chas. B. Miller, Pres. & Tres. Goldsboro. N. C, March 7, 1908. "UNCLE JIMMIE" scon End Came This ilornlnq: Funeral Tomorrow Horning From The lome. From Thursday's Daily.

THE CHILDREN LIRE tl KENNEDY'S LAXATIVE COUCH SYRUP DEAD. THE GOODS DELIVERED. FATAL SCHOOL FIRE. Many Children Trampled to Death In Panic this Afternoon. (Special to the Argus.) Cleveland, Ohio, March 4. Fire broke out in the public school building here this afternoon and over one hun dred school children had a fierce fight for their lives. In the panic which ensued scores of children were trampled literally to death. Just how many it is impossi ble to say at this hour. Many are fatally or seriously hurt, and neighboring houses are being con verted into temporary hospitals and morgues. Dear Joe. As per contract, signed, sealed and delivered, whereby I was released, ex. oused and discharged from the labor, ious obligation of furnishing a "spring poem" this season upon the condi tion that I furnish in verse some ecbos f the recent special session of the legislature in performance of my part of said contraot, I hand you the fol. lowing lines and ask a "nol pros" to further proceedings against me; ECHOES OF THE SPECIAL SESSION. I listened to eloquence, logio and wit, To partisan politics a plenty of it, To pathos, poetry, and profanity some, Condemnation ot the past, and judg. ment to come, I listened to some things I did not be lieve. And evidently intended only to de ceive, About passenger rates and freight dis crimination, Poverty of railroads and cost of liti gation, Of the Roosevelt panic and the coun try's condition, Dispensaries, saloons, and State prohibition, Disputed points of law and Supreme Court decisions, To the ayes and noes and calls for divisions, I listened, I trust in meekness, to prayer, I know I listened in disgust to "hot air," I listened to some things not worth a durn, And the wisest thing heard was the motion to adjourn.

The search is still going on at noon, and before the day ends the total num ber of little charred bodies will number fully 200.

As nearly as I can remember, we used eight cakes of Cuticura Soap and three boxes of Cuticura Ointment; but you must take into consideration that hers was an exceptional case, for an old and good doctor said that it was the worst case that had come to him in forty years.
