That has been settled by obser vation; the sword is being converted steadily into plowshares, while the pen still retains its mission and moulds and forms uublic orinion and senti ment. Your pen, Mr. Editor, has ever maintained that "we've sot the Best Town in the State" and, that "We Go Forward" and so we do, thongh at times hindered by citcumstances. And whv should we not go forward? Certainly is Goldsboro possessed oi (JllT Only Living EX'PfeSident 1$ "SfiVenty- superior advantages over any town in GROVER CLEVELAND'S BIRTHDAY. at least, and earth as her Eastern North Carolina, with the best people on citizens.

(Special to The Argus.) Princeton, N. J., March 18. Grever Cleveland, the only living ex-Presi dent of the United States, is seventy I ono years old today. Though he. has tions, and my evidenceis that wehavejliva in practical retirement since he caueht "the spirit," and want it, must " the White Mouse, more .nan ten h.rftit. and arettnow tready to make years ago, Mr. Cleveland has not by nrnttiARt. and I any means been forgotten by his ror- Goidsboro the best, (the most prosperous town in the State, and every face you meet on the street pro. claims it. Another evidence of a Greater Golds boro is our people seen beginning to recognize that as one hand washes the other, likewise does each individual's prosperity depend on the welfare of his neighbor. Withlsuch a spirit our on ward march is assured, and our pros perity none can thwart. With that spirit.Uet us look around us and see what we Joan do to help our neighbor and by. so doing help our selves, and let us convert our spirit into deeds. Let our first effortslbe to recognize the true merit of our possessions and patronize our home industries We have within our midst manufac turers of merit who have established a reputation on theirjwaresjby shipping them to other States, and yet are poorly patronized at home. Let us recoenize the true merit of our products and say Goldsboro cotton goods, Goldsboro hosiery, Goldsboro lumber. Goldsboroi brick, Goldsboro farm implements, Goldsbory machin ery, Goldsboro buggies, Goldsboro fur niture, Goldsboro mattresses, Goldsboro rice, Goldsboro sash, doors and blinds and anything manufactured within our midst, should haveSour first con sideration and" be good enough for us Then our manufacturers payrolls will soon be doubled. Spend your money with our Golds boro merchants, instead ol being bam boozled into sending your money to foreign "mail order" houses which will result, in ninety-nine cases out of 100, in less goods for more money and additionali express charges and lalse promises. iDo this and your mer chants will soon have laborers brick layers and carpenters busy on their pay roll. And, too, let ua get our farmer brother closer to us by building uood permanent roads and steel bridges. When this is done a distance of 15 miles will appear but a short pleasant drive. I am satisfied, that with the advantages Goldsboro offers to the . farmers as a produce market and shipping point, together with the advantages as a buying point, our town will be daily crowded with our country brethern, who will recognize the advantage in coming to Goldsboro and be as glad to come as we are to re ceive them. With such spirit at work, and with the building of an Electrie street Hail way, affording, also, electric motor power tor small manufacturing enter prises, the treee of prosperity will soon take deeper root and shoot forth its branches fruitful of yet other advan - tages that we reckon not of at present. SUBSCRIBER. OAOTOELIAt Ettnfb Th8 Kind Yob Haw Always Bought rascal: bg . iohmC , JV'-srW mer political associates, ms personal friends and his legion of admirers This was evidenced today by the re- oeipt of countless letters and messages of congratulation at the Cleveland home in this city. The felicitous greet ings came from all sections of the conn try and from men and women in all walks of life and all shades of political belief. Mr. Cleveland will take no part in the coming Presidential campaign His intentions in this regard have been made plain to friends who have ap proached him on the subject. The anti-Bryan element among the Demo crats of New Jersey would like to have had Mr. Cleveland go to the Denver convention as a delegate from this State. Old-line Democrats In New York and throughout the East were ready to support the plan, but Mr Cleveland could not be persuaded to give his consent. It is possible that the events of the coming campaign may so shape themselves as to bring from the ex-President a tormal state ment setting forth his views on the questions at issue, but he has given his friends to understand that so far as any public appearance or speech-mak ing goes he must be counted out. Whenever the subject is broached Mr. Cleveland does not hesitate to reit erate his determination to resist all temptations to return to publio life, He has steadfastly taken the position that any American that has been call ed to the Presidency has received the highest honor in the gift of the Ameri can people and that to accept any othex public office or to mix in politios would not only be selfish, but anti-climax. At .seventy -one years of age Mr Cleveland is still in the enjoyment ot pretty good health, thanks to his fish ing and hunting trips and other forms ol outdoor enjoyment. In magazine articles, in his conversation or his lectures to the students ol Princeton all the old power and clearness thought are there. MOST INTEREST ING CAPTURE. Chance Sight and Arrest of a Noted Fugitive Who Has Been Shadow ed All Over Eu rope and Asia. A Detective Familiar With CrimM's Picture Glanced Him Coming Out of a Saloon in San Francisca Today and Nabbed Him. (Special to the Aegtjs.) San Francisco, Mareh 19. J. Ed ward Boeck, a New York jeweler, and posing some time in spectacular light as the prospective dictator of the Chi nese empire, etc., and who skipped from New York last May, after being indicted for the larceny of hall a mil lion dollars ol jewelry and unpaid duties, has been arrested here. During the last ten months detect ives all over the world have been hunt- ine Boeck. He has been trailed over Europe and Asia without sucoess, and his arrest here was a mere chanee. A detective who had long carried his picture recognized the features the moment he saw the man coming out of a saloon. After confessing his identity he to day declared that he had been living in China tor nearly a year, and was now in America only a visit, expecting to return to China in a few days. This is the most interesting capture in police circles in years. HUMMEL RELEASED. Broken in Health, He Will Seek at One a Warmer European Climate. (Special to The Akgtjs.) New York, March 19. When the notorious orook lawyer, Abe Hummel was released from the pen this morn ing, he sneaked into a waiting automo bile and was driven to a hiding place, So-oalled friends have proposed "banquet" Saturday night, for the per son whom District-Attorney Jerome made out about the meanest man in New York, but a member ol his family says that before then he will be on his way to a warmer European oountryfor his health, which, if not improved JOHN D.

King, the financial agent who three months ago was reputed to be worth several million dollars and who today is a fugtive from justice, with three warrants issued for his arrest, is in London. While his agents and friends were issuing statements that he was in New York raising i'undsand in confinement in a Southern sanitarium, the financier quietly gathered up all of the available cash and negotiable papers in his office, amounting to $50,000, and sail ed for Liverpool on the Cunard liner Etruria February 22. From Liverpool he went at once to a second rate Lon don hotel, where he was recognized by a Boston business man, with whom he had been associated for years. The police here were notified and steps will be taken at once to bring King back. of SUCCEEDS EVANS. Rear-Admiral Charles S. Sperry to Com mand the Fleet. Washington, Mareh 18. Rear-Ad mirax (jnaries h. sperry will be com mander-in-chief of the Atlantic battle ship fleet when it leaves San Francisco in June to encircle the globe. This im portant detail was decided on by Pres i ient Roosevelt and his cabint yester day. Rear-Admiral Evans, on his personal request, will be relieved of the com mand at the conclusion of the big naval review at San Francisco May 8. The admiral considers that this is comple tion of the work be was assigned to do take the Atlantis fleet to the Paeifio coast. Admiral Evans retires in Au gust. To Rear-Admiral Thomas comes the honor ot commanding the fleet on its visit to Puget Sound, and until the homeward journey begins. He has been second in command during the voyage and will be retired in October. These retirements make possible two promotions to the grade of rear-admiral and these are to be filled by the advance ment of Captains Seaton and Richard Wainwright, who will command re spectively the third and fourth squad rons of the fleet and Rear-Admiral Heir Presumptive to One of the Largest Fortunes in the World, Is Two Tears Old Today. (Special to the Abotjs.) New York, March 21 John D. Rockefeller III, heir presumptive to one of the largest fortunes in the world, is two years old today. From all accounts he is a fine, healthy, blue- eyed youngster, who is just beginning to take a lively interest in what goes on about him. He is the idol not only of his parents, but also of the grand children in the McCormick and the Strong families, but these young per sons, who are destined to be tremend ously wealthy, will have meagre for tunes compared with Jonn D. the third. The heir to millions is being brought up in accordance with the traditions of the Rockefeller family, which, in other words, means that the follies and foibles of the sons of many millionaires of today will be tabooed. The youngster will find in his father a most excellent example of a million aire who prefers the simple life to the pleasures of high society. In his tastes, his everyday habits, his pleasures and his beliefs, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., is a most striking contrast to the or dinary son of a millionaire father. Possessed of a fortune which would enable him to gratify any extravagant wish, which would enable him to pay half a million a year for a yacht and think it no waste, to support a racing stable or to buy a princely estate, he wants none of them. To his mind it is pleasanter to work dally, to live quiet ly at home and to devote much of his time to religion and charity. ! Mrs. John D. Rockefeller, who was Miss Abby . Aldrich, daughter of Sen ator Aldrich of Rhode Island, shares her husband's tastes. Notwithstand ing the wealth and social prominenee to which she has been' accustomed all her life, Mrs. Aldrich oares nothing for sooiety and its frivolities. She is pretty and attractive and could easily shine should she care to enter the lists. But her interests are in oppo site directions. She has advanced ideas about education and is a student of literature. She is interested in practical charity and much prefers to investigate and relieve a genuine case of distress than to spend an afternoon with a dressmaker talking about the fit of a gown. From this it must not be imagined that she does not dress well, for she does. But she cares for dress only as a woman of her station who has no infatuation for society should care for it. It is not a passion with her and does not distract her mind from the larger1 'problems of life, of which she is an earnest student. Young Mrs, Rockefeller is not par ticularly fond of outdoor sports, al though she shares her husband's love for horses.

Moore, Be Favors the Electric Street Bail- way Franchise and Hopes, Through It, to Bealize Those Things Tbat Will Assuredly Achieve and Most Speedily Greater Goldsboro. To the Editor of the A Rous: In your daily issue of March 14 you had an article, under the head "Panic Statistics in the Years 1873 and 1393. 1 read that article very carefully and I hardly agree with same. If we didn't have but 38,000,000 peo pie in 1873, there surely were not as many idle people in the large cities as we must expect to have at this time. with a population of 87,000,000 people We are surely going to have more peo ple out ot employment than we had either in 1873 or 1893 If this dull season keeps on, and I'd like to give you the following reasons: You know, for the last ten years, we have had the most prosperous times in this country we have ever had. Differ ent kinds of manufactories have been working day and night and they sold their product from one to two years ahead. There was hardly a man any. where who believed that it would come to a standstill, all at once, as it did. Today the mills are overstocked with manufactured goods. Jobbers and con verters are not placing orders ahead. They are just buying what they are compelled to have for a season's needs. Our farmers are still holding their cotton for higher prices, and a geat many of them are not settling their ac counts. In the meantime, they are pre paring to plant as large cotton crops as they did last year, and with favorable weather they will surely make as much eotton as they did last year. If the de mand for cotton goods is not greater, they will have to sell their cotton about the neighborhood of eight cents. They are also going to increase the tobaceo crop a great deal, expecting to get as big price as they did last year. I am not sure, but it seems reasonable to me, the Trust the American Tobaoco Company which is being prosecuted by the government on the one hand and knowing there is a big crop being raised, will decline to pay such a fancy price as they did iast year for tobacco. Our farmers will hold their eotton and tobacco again, and while thus wait ing for the high prices, that will not come, will defer paying their accounts, which they ought to pay, therefore, we are going to have a holdup in busi ness next fall. Under this condition, which seems to confront us, we surely ought to look for something tor our town. We ought to establish more small industries giv ing employment to dependent women and children, so they can earn living wages and spend money every week day with our merchants; and by doing this we can increase our wage-earning population and make'the town self-sustaining and not have to depend entirely on the farmers' trade. Of course, the farmers' trade ought to be appreciated and they ought to be accsmmodated in every way, and I approve the good road movement for giving them better facilities for coming to Goldsboro, but, under, all circumstances, we ought to build our town first. We have a movement now on foot for an electric street railway, which, I think, would be a big thing for Golds boro. I further believe that we would make no mistake in granting a fran chise and providing through their plant for a day current and fix an economical rate at which they shail furnish it wber by to establish small manufactuing in dustries. I don't mean to question the ability of our city Aldeimen to handle this matter, and I know they will rightly and fully meet the emergency, but I think it would be the best plan for the president of the Chamber of Commerce to call a special meeting of the Chamber as an advisory conference with the com mittee appointed by our mayor, before it makes its report. If we shall get the electric street rail way and the day current, our oity will surely grow, and speedily materialize info a Greater Goldsboro. I doa't see why we should not have the largest town in Eastern North Car olina, as Charlotte is the largest town in Western North Carolina. I hope this day will not be far off, as we always "Go Forward". Foundation of Commercial Growth. To the voters of Raleigh Township, especially the Prohibitionists:: We have voted liquor out of the county on the plea that it hinders the intellectual, moral and financial prog ress of our people. We are going to vote it out of the State for the same reason. One of the foundations of intellectual and moral progress is public schools, and one of the foundations of commer cial growth is good roads. When we voted out the dispensary, we declared that it was a disgrace and an insult to our people to suppose that the educa tion of their children and the building up of their roads depended upon the debauchery of their men with liquor. Shall we make good our declaration? Or shall we make good the declarations of those who advocated the liquor traf fic on the ground of revenues for schools and roads? Can we hesitate a moment about such an issue? Let us stand to our guns, and show that we can have better schools and better roads without the liquor business than with it. The wealth wasted on liquor will now b& saved, and will more than pay the tax required. Let everybody vote for bonds who believes in temperance and in progress based on temperance. Let Raleigh township set the example ot road and school improvement, just as she has already set the example of tem perance. This election is almost as important as the dispensary election; for it will serve to justify that, or con demn it, and thus will produce results of the greatest importance, beyond the mere question of temperance. GEORGE T. WINSTON. MAY YET BE TEDDY. What Senator Lodge Thinks of h&. Prospects (Special to the AfiCtus.1 Washington, March 18. According' to a statement by a close friend of Sen ator Lodge, of Massachusetts, the Sen ator regards the nomination of Presi dent Roosevelt as not improbable. He is quoted as saying that "If they keep hammering at Taft and succeed in defeating his nomination on the first ballot there will be a rush amounting to a landslide to Roosevelt that none can stay." FATHER THOUGHT CHILD TOLD DIE Suffered with Cuban Itch, and Sores Covered Body from Head to Foot Would Claw Himself and Cry All the Time Could Not Be Dressed Mother Advised to Try the Cu tic Lira Remedies. CURED BY CUTICURA AT EXPENSE OF 75c. " My little boy In the Spring of 1901. when only an infant of three months, caught the. Cuban Itch from oneot my neighbor's babies. Bores Drotce out irom his bead to the bot tom of his feet. He would itch and claw himself and cry all the time. He could not sleep day or night. I had to wheel him In his carriage most all the while to keep him still. He could not bear to have his cloth ing touch him, and only a light dress is all he could wear. I can't begin to speak In words the suffering the poor child had to endure. I called on of our best doctors to treat him, and he said he had the Cuban Itch, and his treat ment did not do any good. He seemed to ?et worse. He suf ered so terribly that my (husband said he believed he would have to die. I had almost given ud hone when a lady friend told me to try the Cuticura. Remedies. 8he said she cured her little girl's ear, which was nearly eaten up with the eczema, I got a cake of Cuticura Soap and one box Cuticura Ointment, and I washed him all over with the Cuticura Soap and applied the Cuticura Ointment and he at once fell into a sleep, and he slept with ease for the first time since two- months. When he , awoke I applied it again, and it gave htm much ease, and after three applications the. sores began to dry up and Improvement began to show, and In a few days the hide from thai bottom of his feet and inside of his hands began to peel off. I only used one cake Cuti cura Soap and one box Cuticura Ointment to complete the cure of the dreadful disease, and In just two weeks from the day I commenced to use the Cuticura Remedies my baby was entirely well. The treatment only cost m 76c., and I would have gladly paid $100 if I could not have got It any cheaper. I feel safe in saying that the Cuticura Remedies saved his life.
