CRAIffS LEAD
INCREASES.
He Led in Saturday's Voting.
The Seven Counties, Including Davie,
Which Have Held Primaries
Since the Last Recerd, In
crease the Lead of the
Yiung Man From the
WesUndall of these
Counties are in
Neutral Ter
ritory. Charlott Observer.
Six counties held primaries Satur
day all ofthem in neutral territory.
Those voting represent 44 convention
rotes, including Davie county, which
hold its primary Thursday, and of these
Mr, Craig received 21.31;.Mr. Kitchin,
15.81, and Mr. Home, 6.78.
Mr. Craig's lead is 61.43, while at the
same period last week it was 56.04; a
gain of over five votes.
Of the votes given from the seven
new counties included in the tabulat
ed statement five are estimates, but
they are from the Jcounty chairmen
and based on careful estimates, which
are aDD-roximately correct. Lincoln
county, which was scheduled to hold
primaries Saturday, did not pass upon
the gubernatorial candidates and it is
understood that that county's dele
gates to the State convention will go
uninstructed.
Thus far 58 counties have voted, in
eluding Rowan and Hertford, whse
delegates were uninstructed, and 40
counties remain to be heard from. Mr
Craig's friends are jubilant over yes
terday's results, feeling assured that
their candidate will keep up the pace
he has maintained froml the start,
with a possible interruption next Sat
nrday when the rest of the Fifth dis
trict counties will be heard from. The
interruption, however, will be only
temporary.

IMPORTANT BILLS LEFT OVER
The Adjournment ef Congress Leaves
a Number of Important Mea
sures High and Dry.
(Special to the Argus.)
Washington, May 23. The adiourn
m ent of congress leaves a number of
important legislative measures that
were not acted upon, the number being
so great, in fact, that' many persons
are inclined to regard the sixtieth con
gress as a "do-nothing" one.
One oi the mest important measures
enacted was the child labor law for the
District ot Columbia, which may well
be taken as a model for all similar
legislation throughout the country.
The session also served to secure to
labor the liability of employers, in
sured the continuance of the Hepburn
rate law, stopped race track gambling
in the National capital, and passed sev
eral other measures which are equally
meritorious.
A partial list of the more important
bills that have been put over tor anoth
er session includes the bill for publi
city in connection with campaign con
tributions, some ten or fifteen anti-in
junction bills, reduction of tariff on
products of Philippines, the Adminis
tration bill to amend the Sherman
anti-trust law, removal of the duty on
wood pulp and print paper, prohibi
tion in the district of Columbia, to
make Porto Ricans citizens of the
United States, the Appalachian-V hite
Mountains forest reserve bill, bill to
provide for the United States to own
its own embassies, swamp land recla
mation bill, revision of copyright laws,
establishment of Federal- grain in
speetion, and retirement of superan
nuated Federal clerks.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was supposed to be in
curable. For a groat many years doctors pro
aouiited it a local disease and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with
4ocal treatment, pronounced it incurable. Sei
. ence has it oven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease end therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. J. Cheney & Co.. Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. It is taken
uterBBliy in doses from 10 drops tt a teespoon
ail. It acts directly on the blood and mucous
Surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for cir
culars and testimonials.

cut m mm prices.
..The largestj jobbers in cotton goods
in the West, Marshall Field fe Co., are
responsible for the latest cut in cotton
labrias. They say the cotton mills have
been demanding prices not justified by
the price of labor and raw cotton, and
they have therefore reduced prices to
a point 35 per cent, below those which
were current before the panic occurred
in October. The Marshall Fild firm
had been persistent bears all winter.
but their latest cat outdoes all previous
efforts in that direction.
Some of the New York houses are,
however, endeavoring to maintain
prices, and possibly the Chicago cut of
35 per cent, will not become fully estab
lished. It is really based on low-priced
cotton, and spotcotton is worth 11 cents,
and the tendency is upward. The Chi
cago firm's policy seems to be based on
the price of contracts in New York,
which has distant relation only to the
real price of real eotton. A cotton bag
will soon be a novelty in New York,
and Marshall Field fe Co. should look
for quotations of. eotton in the land of
cotton itself. They sell goods freely in
the South, and they should not appear
so strenuously on the bear side of the
South' great staple.
POLITICS AND POLITICIANS.
Ambitions and Prospects of Men
Strutting and Fretting Their
jHour on the Stage.
(Special to The Aegtjs.)
Washington, D. C, May 26.
Senator Johnston, of Alabama.favors
the nomination of Governor Johnson,
of Minnesota, as the Democratic can
didate for the Presidency.
Former Governor Edwin Warfield,
of Maryland, says a national Demo
cratic ticket headed by Governor
Johnson, of Minnesota, and Governor
Folk, of Missouri, would sweep the
country at the November elections.
Governor Charles M. Floyd, of New
Hampshire, predicts that the Demo
cratic convention at Denver next July
will name William J. Bryan, of Ne
braska, for President and John A,
Johnson, of Minnesota, for Vice Pres
ident.
Ruth Bryan Leavitt, daughter of
Vil4iam J. Bryan, will, it is said, take
the stump in Colorado, Wyoming and
other Western States, and will make
political speeches in favor of her
father, if he is nominated for the Pres
idency.
Henry F. Staple, candidate for the
Democratic nomination for gov
ernor of Missouri, is opposed to State
wide prohibition. He declares that it
is forcing some communities to a thing
which they by a vote of their people
have declared against, and that conse
quently it is undemocratic and un
American.
Certain leaders of the temperance
movement in Pennsylvania declare
that the next gubernatorial campaign
will be waged on a local option issue,
and that State Treasurer William H
Berry will be the candidate of the
forces opposed to the nomination oi the
saloon in Pennsylvania politics.
Political signs in Texas point to the
re-election of Governor Campbell for
anotner term. He succeeded in main
taining an attitude of neutrality in the
recent fight on Senator Bailey and it is
not likely that either faction in the
Democratic ranks will seriously op
pose him for another term.
NOT A CANDIDATE.
To the Editor ot Argxjs:
Dear Sir: I regret very much that
business matters prevented me from
being present Saturday at the assem
bling of the Democratic county conven
tion. If I had been there I should have
asked the convention not to endorse
me for delegate-at-large to the Denver
convention. I greatly appreciate the
consideration shown me by the con
vention in this endorsement, but I am
riot a candidate for the place nor shall
I be. My brother, R. F. Aycock, is a
candidate for Corporation Commis
sioner, and there are many men in
North Carolina, unobtrusive but earn.
est Democrats, who have done "much
service for the cause of Democracy, and
whose labors have been unrewarded,
who would be delighted with the honor
of going to the Denver convention. It
would be ungracious 1 in me, who have
been honored by my party beyond my
deserts, to stand in the way of these
gentlemen.
Very truly yours,
C. B. AYCOCK.

BASEBALL TICKETS.
Opportunity Offered Young Ladies to
Win Season Ticket.
The tickets to the opening baseball
game were received from the printer
this morning, and quite a number of
young ladies have begun to sell them.
The committee who are looking after
the distribution of the tiekets are un
able to guess just who wish to enter the
race and on this account would be glad
for the young ladies wishing to begin
work to 'phone Mr. Paul Borden or
Mr. Herman Weil and tiekets will be
promptly furnished them.
The two young ladies who sell the
greatest number of tickets to the open
ing game will each receive a season
ticket, good at all games played in
Goldsboro during the season.
The ladies who enter this contest not
only stand a chance of getting free ad
mission to all games but at the same
time are helping the Athletie Association.
A STATEMENT.
In looking over the records of the
High School for the last two years, I
find that an error in the ninth grade
records gave the Weil prize for the girls
to the wrong person. I made the error
last year in finding the averages for the
year, and those averages were accepted
this year as correct and were not ex
amined again. The correction of the
error gives the prize to Miss Eunice
Edmundson instead of Miss Nellie
Witherington by 1-63 of a point, and
the prize has been re-awarded accord
ingly. , "
This statement is made in justice to
all persons concerned. I regret very
deeply, for the sake of both young
ladies, that the error should have been
made.
W. C. RANKIN,
Principal High School.
In this connection the Argus is
pleased to note the very gracious and
cordial spirit with which Miss Nellie
Witherington yielded the prize to Miss
Eunice Edmundson upon the fraction
al error as above, and the latter has
presented the 820 in gold to the Library
of the High School to be expended in
the purchase of new books, which is
indeed very generous.

One of the Important Duties of Physicians and
the Well-informed of the World
is to learn as to the relative standing and reliability-" of the leading manufactur
ers of medicinal agents, as the most eminent physicians are the most careful as to
the uniform quality and perfect purity of remedies prescribed by them, and it is well
known to physicians and the "Well-Informed generally that the California Fig Sj-rup
Co., by reason of its correct methods and perfect equipment and the ethical character of
its product has attained to the high standing in scientific and commercial circles which
is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore, that the name of the
Company has become a guarantee of the excellence of its remedy.
TRUTH AND QUALITY
appeal to 1the Well-Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent suc
cess and creditable standing, therefore we wish to call the attention of all who would
enjoy good health, with its blessings, to the fact that it involves the question of right
living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best each hour
of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute
to that end and the use of medicines dispensed with generally to great advantage, but
as in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the
proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present
truthfully the subject and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy which has won
the appoval of physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the Well-Informed because
of the excellence of the combination, known to all, and the original method of manufac
ture, which is known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only.
This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of
Syrup of Figs and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of
family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well
known to physicians and the Well-informed of the world to be the best of natural
laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of
Senna as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtless it will alwa3rs be
called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs and to get its beneficial effects always
note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co.
plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for Syrup of
Figs or by the full name Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna as-Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig S3Trup
Co. and the same heretofore known by the name Syrup of Figs which has given
satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout
the United States in original packages of one size only, the regular price of which
is fifty cents per bottle.
Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Company, filed with the
Secretary of Agriculture, at Washington, D. C, that the' remedy is not adulterated or
misbranded within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act, June 30th, 1906.
