A scientific explanation of that tired feeling is forthcoming at last, and the explanation has excited a great deal of interest. For quite a number of years we have noticed on the part of certain members of every community, noi only here in the South, but through out the country, a- constitutional, re pugnance toward 'work. Their ver sion of-the national anthem was "Please go 'way and let me sleep." It lias affected all grades and ranks. Even men of native ability have been infected by it. You would find one of them giving the Almighty Advice which he deemed of great worth; His wife took in sewing To keep things a-going While he superintended the earth. I fin. the humbler ranks, where there i". -was bo' visible means ; of support, the L law . has occasionally intervened, and "'with the refinement of cruelty com pelled these. people to go to the rock : pile: r Over in Africa the tsetse fly is said to be responsible for the sleeping sickness, but in this country we were ' unable to account for it. But it has all been made clear now. . Tit's the hookworm. Now, the hoookworm, with a fishing ixod at the end, has undoubtedly been ; responsible for a great deal . of this "distaste for work. The inviting bank of a stream on a warm summer day was well calculated to make any man "rest and loaf his soul." In., fact, whole, organizations have been formed to keep one another in countenance, and as a sort of bond of mutual pro jection, while' this particular hook worm, speared on the hook and dang ling in the stream, wrought its hyp notic influence. v But the scientists Inform us that this is a different sort of hookworm from the one they have discovered in the people of ' the South. There are ten thousand victims in this State. . 1 f we had been asked right quick we would have said' that the number was greater than. that. , Just as the excitement was begin ning to spread, after the discovery of the real nature of the disease, Mr. Rockefeller came forward to pour oil on the troubled waters. . . He has promised to give a million dollars to the cause of exterminating the disease. ' "We do not desire to be flippant on the subject of the hookworm, although we must: insist that it is hardly re sponsible for all the antipathy to en ergetic effort which is found here and there in every section of the country. We are Quite prepared to say, in fact, that there Is no more of this indispo sition here in the South than there is elsewhere. But so far as the real dis ease and the real hookworm is con cerned, we are very grateful to Mr. Rockefeller. The million dollars, properly dis tributed, may do a great deal of good. It will circulate and percolate through professional and business 'channels - and in that way . at least will stimu late industry and activity in spite of the hookworm. - "" " , v So, going or coming, the evil -: bound to be eradicated. Wts are thankful for the million. is Muskrats Expect Hard Winter. Morocco, Ind., Nov. 1. Old hunters, who claim to be skilled in the ways of wild animals in .relation to, the weather, predict an , exceptionally hard winter. They have examined the architecture of muskrat houses, noted the unusually large quantity of honey laid up by bees and the. store of nuts gathered .by1 squirrels--all indicating, they say, a long, cold winter.

Wilmington High School Defeats Oar High School 6 to 0. In their second game of the season our high school football team was de feated Saturday by Wilmington high school team by a close margin. The score was 6 to 0 in favor of the Wil mington team. . The game was played in Wilmington and the field being so very sandy add ed to the good playing of the Wilming ton team, and made.it impossible for Goldsboro to score against them. The game was called, at 3:3QJ and two twenty-minute halves were play ed, with an intermission of fifteen minutes. . Wilmington won in the toss, and Goldsborq received the kick-oft. During this half Goldsboro outplayed Wilmington altogether, keeping the ball in Wilmington's territory the greater portion of the half. Neither team scored anything in this half, and it ended Goldsboro 0, Wilmington 0. The second half began with Golds boro kicking oft to Wilmington. Wil mington fumbled- the ball. In the first ten minutes of play there were numerous punts by both teams. In this half Wilmington did better work than in that of the first. But Golds boro gained a considerable amount of territory by the numerous line plunges of our fullback Rackley. And And also by Ring's good work in "re gaining punts. About the middle of the half, when the ball was down in Wilmington's territory, and on about their7 forty yard line, they scored a touchdown. A forward pass was made from Wil mington's quarterback to their left end. Davis, who passed Goldsboro's right end, fullback and quarterback, came nearer to Goldsboro's quarter back than to anyone else, who ought have stopped him, but did not do so. Davis also made the free kick. The game continued with the ball mostly in the possession of Goldsboro, who had not given up the game, but was trying hard to win, or at least tie it. But time was soon up with the ball in the centre of the field. Wilmington, 6; Goldsboro.O. Although our team did not come out victorious in this game, they should be given credit for their good work, j In this game our team was J"made weaker by the absence of our half back, two substitute backs were used. We have not had a coach this year, and what our team has done,, they accomplished by their own hard work. On the other hand the Wilmington team has been coached by their super intendent, Mr. Siegel, who two years ago was one of Carolina's ablest play ers. In this game both teams were about evenly matched in weight, and we think that Goldsboro outplayed Wilmington during the entire game. And we also believe that in another game" with Wilmington on a harder field, the : results will be altogether different from that of Saturday." : The line-up of the teams was as fol lows: " - ' : ' Goldsboro G, Dortch,-; centre; B. Denmark, left guard ; Rf Watkins, left tackle;- D. Butler, right tackle; B. Dewey, left end; C. King, right end;. T. Rackley, fullback; C. Britt, left halfback; T. Daniel, quarterback; L.

GIDDENS DEAD Brave Confederate Soldier, Good Citizen and Godly Man. Goldsboro's Oldest Merchant in Con tinuous Business and in Tears Falls on Sleep This Morn ing at Ten o'Clock. Monday's Daily ArgusI . Shortly after ten o'clock this morn ing the news went over the city that Mr. Lewis D. Giddens was dead, and the tidings carried sadness to indeed every heart in Goldsboro, where Mr. Giddens had - lived from his , young manhood, and where he had not only made a success in life in material things, but far more than that, by his upright daily walk and conversation had won the respect and-confidence of people, of more than two genera tions. - I Mr. Giddens was . born In Wayne county September 9, 1835, and moved to Goldsboro in 1858. When the Civil War came, he : enlisted in Company E, Twentieth North . Carolina volun teers, and served through . the entire four years of conflict, ; - A good soldier, he was devoted to the cause in defense of-' which he freely tendered his life, and its mem ories were always cherished by him through all the after years. In 1856 he married Miss. Margaret Ireland, of Sampson county and eight children were horn to that marriage, all of whom, "with their mother, sur vive. Thesa are Mrs. R. E. Weaver, of Greensboro; Mrs. J. Weyland Jones, of Wilson; Mr. I D. Giddens, "Jr., of Wilson; Mr. J. Frank Giddens, of Morehead City; Mrs. M. I Sinoot, of Salisbury, and Mr .R. I. Giddens, Miss Mary Emma Giddens and Miss Josie Giddens, of this city, and in his de clining years their loving ministry un to his failing healthwas both a com fort and blessing to him. . ; Mr. Giddens was a good man, and at life's close, when it can be said of "any man that he was a good man, the life of that man was a real success. Of modest and retiring disposition, of strict integrity, of heroic courage, of blameless life, hS has gone to his long home rejoicing in the promises that fail not, for his faith ever looked up to Himi to see whose face Is the joy of the elect. Mr. Giddens is survived also by one brother, Mr. , H. B. Giddens, of Clin ton, and one sister, Mrs. -Robert Thornton, near Newton Grove, besides a wide circle of near relatives. To : the -' devoted wife and children the sympathy of all our people goes out with inexpressible tenderness. The funeral will be held from the home on William street south, tomor row afternoon at four o'clock, con ducted 'by Rev. E. H. Davis, pastor of St, Paul M. E. Church, of which de ceased was a devoted member, and at the request of the family Rev. J. Gil mer Buskie, rector of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, will assist.' DEFENDANT 95 TEARS OLD. Veteran of Mexicon and Civil Wars Discharged by Judge. Bloomsburg,, Pa., Nov. 1. That a man is never too old to get into trou ble was . again illustrated in the Co lumbia county court when William Moser, aged ninety-five years and looking very day of his age, a vete ran of both the Mexican and Civil wars, who declares with' pride that he was the only surviving member of the 'Danville Guards," who fought in the first named war, was tried before Judge Evans on a surety of the peace charge. Mrs. Clara Ball, of Pine township, a neighbor, accused him of threatening to burn her house and throwing stones at her home. The veteran had Mrs. Ball arrested on the charge of threat ening to kill him. Their homes, it de veloped, were but six feet apart, and Moser was a tenant of Mrs. Ball. Judge Evans told the litigants that they were both, top old to get, mixed up in court and directed them to go back home and live peaceably. : Botanical Garden 180JTears Old. Philadelphia, Nov. 1. The first bo tanical garden -in America was estab lished near Philadelphia about 1730 by John Bartram, a Quaker, who was also the .first native American botan ist. It is still flourishing and is now a Philadelphia park. A tourist, hotel on top of Mount Mc Kinley will be an International ne cessity next summer, : -Even Senator Aldrich .

Never in the history of automobiling has there : been such a widespread senti ment in favor of good roads as at the present time. . Owners and users of motor cars are not the only ones, how ever, to. whom this fact is clearly ap parent. The farming and the rural communities in all parts' of the coun try are showing an earnest desire for improved methods of highway trans portation. ..- - While it may be too "much to say that the lessons taught by : the last two national good roads conventions have been entirely responsible for this widespread attitude for better roads, it is generally admitted by the "dele gates who attended the convention in Cleveland that the effect of these big meetings has been the means, per haps indirectly in many cases, of stimulating the good roads interest to the important position it occupies today. That this movement for better roads is a national one, which is des tined to - increase is strikingly evi denced by the eagerness of the busi ness men of St. Louis to have the third annual national good roads . conven tion held in their City. The invita tion presented at the recent Cleveland convention by the business men bore the indorsements of Governor Hadly, of Missouri, and Mayor Kriesmann, of St. Louis. Those who extended the invitation showed in a convincing manner the growing demand for better roads not only in their state, but throughout the Middle West, and St. Louis will there fore be the scene of the third annual good roads convention in the early part of October, 1910. Plans" have already been outlined to make this convention more important than the two preceding ones in the practical demonstrations: of road building. Realizing that endurance, combined with reasonable economy, is the pres ent day problem for good roads in most of the suburbs and rural districts of the country, Logan WaUer Page, di rector of the United States office of public roads, ispreparing to send sev eral of his experts to St. Louis and neighboring localities for the purpose of co-operating with the state and county engineers in experimenting with improved methods of construc tion. The object of this work on be half of the government is to show that it is possible to build roads capable of withstanding heavy and continuous traffic without the expenditure of ex cessive sums of money, provided the work is done by engineers of . road construction. THE PROSPERITY SIGNS, The business of this country, so far as the statistics of imports and ex ports go, was never better in its his tory. This country imported last month $120,941,642 worth" of goods, and exported $153,890,409 worth. It never before imported or exported as much. There . is no explanation of these figures, except on the ground that there is more ! business, more work, more to sell and more money to buy with than ever before. The railroads can scarcely find cars enough for daily service, and enor mous orders for . additional equip ment have been placed. All signs point to advancing pros perity and Goldsboro must get its share. - NO SMALL CHANGE IN ALASKA. Use, Residents . Say, Means . Wages, So It Is Barred. Low Chicago, Nov. 1. "No pennies, nick els and dimes go in Alaska," said John Hoover to a reporter. ., When I first went to -that country I saw bartenders look curiously at a dime that some tenderfoot had tossed on the bar and then sweep it off on the floor with their hands. I wondered at this con tempt for real money, and -asked some questions about it, discovering that no one ever took nickels or dimes and that nothing could be bought in the Klondyke for, less than twenty-five cents. ' - - , "Take the ordinary sack , of . tobac co, tor instance, wnicn we get nere for a nickel. There they cannot sell it for a quarter., hardly, so they make it two for a quarter, but will not sell one for fifteen cents. ". ''It is common r cause among those people up there. They do . not want nickels and dimesintroduced, for . in traduction Lof small .change would mean lower wages and lower prices Ordinary shovellers get $4 or $5 a day now and other labor is paid in propor tion" - , -A news item tells of . a ' man - who shunned office. You never ; can tell what will happen. One may even ex J pect public officers to sbun salary. " OUTRUNS OTHER BOATS Rest of Fleet Reaches Vicks barg Behind Time. Banquet In Honor of the President a Feature of Yicksburg Ylsit Gov ernors and. Congressmen Make Trip by Bail. Vicksburg, Miss,, Oct 28. President Taft arrived at Vicksburg tonight at 9:40 o'clock on the lighthouse tend er Oleander. Of the proud fleet of gorgeously decorated vessels that pointed their prows out of St. Louis at five o'clock on Monday afternoon only two were in sight when Presi dent Taft landed and gave himself in to the hands of an enthusiastic but sadly, disappointed local committee. He received a joyous welcome from several hundred faithful watchers at the water front. The steamer Erastus Wells, origi nally set apart for members of the Cabinet who are now on board the Oleander and the Illinois bearing a delegation from Illinois docked to night soon after the President had landed. The St Paul, which started out with half the governors of the United States, on board, and the Quincy .which started with Speaker Cannon and a large array of Senators and Repre sentatives as passengers, were among the slower vessels that were nowhere to be seen during the President's stay in Vicksburg. The governors and congressmen de barked at Greenville today and came to Vicksburg this afternoon by train. They will board their boats again to night for the run to Natchez. The schedule of the river trip has gone all topieces and although it is planned now to have the President wait outside of New Orleans on Sat urday until most of the boats can oin him there, the chances are that this scheme will have to be abandon ed, if Mr. Taft is to set foot in the Crescent City during daylight In making up the schedule of the trip it is said the maximum speed of the fast boats and the slow boats was added together and an average speed struck for all. President Taft tried to remain with the fleet as long as possible. On that account he was three hours late at Memphis and two hours late at Mel ena. Governors Noel, of Mississippi, and Sanders, of Louisiana, were taken on board the Oleander last night in or der that they might be with the Pres ident at his stops in those states. The people of Vicksburg, one of the great strongholds of the Confederacy, made great plans for entertaining the President - Jackson, Miss., Oct 28. At a con ference between ' municipal officers, members of the citizens committee and a representative of the United States secret service, today it was. de cided to eliminate the afternoon call at the State Capitol, one of the plan ned features of President Taft's slx teen-hour; visit to Jackson next Mon day. The visit to the Capitol was elimi nated after explaining that the Presi dent will he unable to deliver more than one open air address. It was de cided that the fair grounds would be the place for his address. Vicksburg, Miss., Oct 28. The gov ernors, congressmen ana corespona ents, who temporarily abandoned, the steamers St Paul and Quincy today at Greenville, .Miss., arrived here by special train late this afternoon and will take part' in. the reception and banquet for President Taft tonight The President is due to arrive on the Oleander at nine o'clock.

From Wedding Ceremony to Surgical Table. Readers of The Argus in this city, where the" young lady in question is well known, having at times visited her sister here, Mrs. E. C. Brooks, will be Interested in the following, which we copy from this morning's issue of the Greensboro Daily News: "A very unique and-romantic wed ding ceremony was performed yester day morning at St Leo's Hospital, when Dr. John R. Paddison, of Oak Ridge, was united in marriage to Miss Zora Sapp, of Kernersville, by Rev. E. K. McLarty, pastor of West Market Street Methodist Church. "Dr. Paddison and Miss Sapp were to be married on November , 9, but Tuesday he had ' a sudden attack of appendicitis, and after a consultation with his physician an operation was thought necessary and he was brought to this city and carried to St. Leo's. "Knowing that it would be Impossi ble for him to be out in time for the marriage to take place on the 9th, he got Into communication with his bride, the consequence being that she came to this city from her "home and the marriage license was procured and they were married yesterday morning at ten o'clock. "Dr. Paddison is a well-known phy sician throughout the county and is the resident physician at Oak Ridge Institute. Miss Sapp is a popular and accomplished young lady of Kerners ville, an dis a sister of O. L. Sapp, a well-known lawyer of this city. "At three o'clock yesterday after noon Dr. Paddison was operated on for appendicitis and - at a late hour last night his condition was reported to be very satisfactory." A. C. L. RAIWAY BRANCH. Connection to Be Made at Grlfton N. & S. Building Shops at New Bern. New Bern, N. C, Oct 28. For - a year or more it has been currently reported that the A. C. L. Railway would extend their line from Wilming ton to New Bern on to Edwards, N. C, a point on the Washington and Vande- mere line of the A. C. L. Surveyors nave been through this section for several -months surveying and locat Ing the line, but it now seems tha line is to connect at Grifton with the A. C.

The Norfolk & Southern Railway is building a new boiler shop . and con stantly adding to the shops here. For about two years the shop foundry has been closed and no casting done at the shops, but as soon as the new boiler shop is ready for use the foun dry and casting department will be opened again. In the past year much new and modern machinery has been installed in the shops and a large force of men are employed. Just at present two passenger cars are being rebuilt and will be made into dining cars. When the Albemarle bridge is opened dining cars will be put on the day, trains to Norfolk and sleepers on the night train. It, is said that the bridge will be open for traffic about December 10. .

SUMMER jJTHE HEART A Sermon That We Caa All Con and Practise Wilb Profit. The Woman or Man Who Always Car ries Summer in the Heart Fur nishes the Smile of Encour ment the World Needs. Under this caption the Baltimore Sun cites an incident and preaches this little sermon that is good for us all: "Where has the summer gone?" asked a little girl, as she turned from the window where she had been watching the cold rain come down. "Why, my dear, it is right here in our home," responded the mother, as she put her arrn around her child. The fire was glowing brightly on the hearth, the room' was warm and cheerful, and everything was as cozy as you please. But, best of all, there was a smile on the mother's face and a light in her eye that showed that heart. " ' JSral1 No matter how the winds blow or the snow falls, we can have "summer in the heart." The glow'from loving hearts not only makes a house a home, but it lights up the dark places of the lives of those with whom we come in contact and starts a respon sive glow that is contagious. It spreads from one person to another, until its good influence extends to a wide circle. - Some people mourn because they are not able to make friends readily, because they do not possess what they call "the power of attraction." They call it "personal magnetism," "per sonality" and a dozen other names. But the woman or man who always has "summer in his heart" need not worry about "magnetism," for they will win friends on every hand be cause they furnish the smile of en couragement of which all the world stands in need. Dark days come into every life. Sorrows there are that all of us must bear. We have our losses, just as we have our profits. We have our bad days as we have our good ones. But no matter how the storms of the world assail us, we can keep our hearts pure and good and warm. And they will light up and warm our lives as the fire does in the home when out side all is bleak and drear." THE NEW YORK CAMPAIGN, i There Was a General Summing Up of Issues by 800 Speakers Last Night. New York, Oct. 28. In New York municipal election campaign there was a general summing up of issues tonight by the 800 speakers who pre sented the causes of Gaynor, Bannard and Hearst to audiences in every cor ner of New York. , Gaynor, speaking at three places to day, pleaded for greater personal lib erty, the abolition of police "czar ship," and liberality in -the enforce ment of minor laws. Bannard, the Republican candidate, told" seven mass meetings in New York and Brooklyn that he "stood first, last and allHhe time for a busi ness administration." Hearst, the third candidate for may or, was silent tonight, but his follow ers, in ten mass meetings kept the fires burning.' At each meeting a big banner was hung above the stage bearing the words, "Down with the bosses of both parties," furnished the text for the spellbinders. ' He who excuses, accuses. id
