Citizens oi Clay ton have organized a company with a capital of $75,000 to build a cotton milL Superintendent W. C. Stron ach, of the Soldiers' Home at Raleigh, says there are 60 appli cants for admission who 'cannot be received, owing to the failure of the legislature to provide for their maintenance. A shame: ' At Durham Judge Moore reu dered a decision that saw mill men are not liable to tax as lum ber dealers. He held that alum ber dealer, under the laws, was one who bought and sold luaber and not saw mill men, who are manufacturers. 1 Senator Pritchard has intro duced a resolution thatthepresi dent be authorized to amxint as an additional cadet at the Naval Academy.

Mr. M. V . Barefoot was here one day last week and sold two bales of cotton which he raised on one acre. I He sold them to Mr, J. B. Hudson at 7b cents per pound, the two bales amounting to 169.12. The seed from the two bales if sold : would bring ten to eleven ' dollars, making about $80.00 worth raised on one acre. Smithfield Herald. The State superintendent of education recently made inqui ries of the mayors of towns as to educational matters. ' A reply fromflhe mayor of Halifax is in teresting. The mayor says the town has 800 people, ao special tax for school and has never con templated the establishment of a public school. The mayor con cludes by saying: ,This town is finished. ' State Treasurer Worth has de cided to pay immediately the $100,000 appropriation to the public schools. He will- notify all sheriffs who have not settled their State taxes to pay over to their school fund the amount of appropriation apportioned and they will be credited therewith. Eighteen sheriffs have settled and the apportionment 'to these counties will, therefore, be paid direct from the treasury., . The fisheries of North Caroli na give employment to more than 10,000 persons, and yield an annual product valued at more than a million dollars. One per cent, of that sum, or $10,000 is appropriated annually by the Legislature for the purpose of employing a fish commissioner, and provide him with assistants and means to protect the fishery interests of the State and devel- op-uvsm,'- . .. . . - ' . - Ex-Sheriff James H. Graham was in the city today and inform ed The Argus of a singular and serious accident at his home Sat urday morning. His 8-year-old byby armed with only a broom straw inflicted an injury to its mother thatveame near being fatal. The mother was lying on the bed resting while tho child kept after her to get up, to which pleading she paid" no attention. Finally the little one became enraged and got a . short broom straw and stabbed its mother in the ear. t The pain was so se vere from the wound, from which the blood flowed freely, that medical attention was summoned at once. Although the danger is thought to be over today, yet Mrs. Grant is still in the bed from the loss of blood. Golds boro Argus: Persistency Wins Persistency is characteristic of men who have accomplished anything great. They may lack in some other particular, may have many weaknesses and ec centricities, but the quality of persistance is never absent in a successful man. No matter what opposition he- meets or what discouragements overtake him, he is always persistent. Drudererv cannot disgust him. He will persist, no matter what comes or what goes; it is a part of his nature; he could almost as easily stop breathing. It is not so much brilliancy of intellect or fertility of resource as persist ency of effort, constancy of pur pose, that gives success. Per sistency always inspires confl dence. Everybody believes in the man who persists. He may meet ; misfortune, sorrows and reverses, but everybody believes that he will ultimately triumph, because they know there is no keeping him down. "Does he keep at it is he persisteut?" This is the question which the world asks a man. . Hiven a man with a small ability " will often succeed if he has the quality of persistence, w here a genius without it would fail. Success. Good! Let's Have It. The Senate branch of the South Carolina Legislature has Eassed a broad tire bill, and it is elieved that it will be passed by the House and signed by the governor. This bill prohibits the sale of wagons with narrow tires after January, 1901, but the use of such wagons may continue until January, 1904. In 'the meantime persons, who use the broad tire are to . be exempted from road duty and commutation tax. The bill provides for pains and penalties for violation. Such legislation is so clearly in the interest of frood roads that it is a wonder that it is not on the Statue book of every State. Charlotte Observer.- Robbed the Grave.

This country is now tho great est iron producer in the world, the output last year being 13,- 500,000 tons, to about 10,000,000 tons for Great Britain and about W. H. Stallimrs. Rnnblioa- postmaster at Augusta, Ga., has been "expelled ' irom me xte publican party by negroes be cause he refused to appoint a negro man named Wimberly as asistant postmaster. The grand jury of Bibb coun ty, Ga., in their presentment urged the legislature to submi to tho people a constitutional amendment establishing the whipping post in Georgia for misdemeanants under the age of 16 years.

The -state assembly of Vir ginia adopted a resolution invit ing "Hon.

Senator Butler, chairman of the national executive committee of the People's party, has is siind n, r.all tor a meeting of that committee to be held in Lincoln, Neb.. Mondav. Feb. 9.

The execu tive committee consists of three members from each State. , f The House of the South Caro lina Legislature has passed a bill requiring all persons who get married to first obtain a mar riage license. Tho bill provides that the license be issued by the judge of probate in the county in which the marriage is to oe sol emnized, for which a fee of 25 cents shall be charged. Hereto fore no marriage license has been required in bouth Carolina. The farmers of Greenwood, S. C.r met last week in a mass meetinsr and adootod resolutions. in which the president of the Farme's Alliance concurred, de claring that 'the prices of ferti lizers are being advanced arbi trarily through the influence of a trust." and appealing to tne farmers of all the cotton states to meet at their court houses on the first : Monday in February, ' 'and pledge themselves not to purchase fertilizers at more than 10 per cent, advance over lasi year's prices." vThe Virginia Carolina Uhemicai company a month or more ago announced a ise in the price of fertilizers, which it claimed was necessitat ed by the increased prices of py rites and brimstone and the scarcity of phosphate rock. The company, through its officers, stoutly deny that it is a trust. A Significant Movom:nV. At the annual meeting of tins Pennsylvania Editorial A.s;o;.t . tion at Harrisburg on Wednes day last it was unanimously, ro solved: That if trusts are honestly or ganized to reduce expenses, and consequetly the cost of products, they should depond on their owi business capacity, hot upon pro tection glvbi to them by the gov ernment;' and tbat CongreAa ought to repeal such tariff duties as seem to protect the trusts" in their extortionate charges. The immediate occasion for this movement is the exorbitant price of printing paper, the pro duction and sale of which are controlled by a gigantic trust under cover of the tariff. Small as are the duties on nrjuting paper in comparison A the protective rates in most sched ules of the Dingley act, they are high enough to defeat foreign competition and enable the com bination of manufacturers to dic tate their own terms. In conse quence of the operations of this monopoly the cost of printing paper has been steadily 'rising until it has become a heavy bur den to publishers. - One newspa per in the interior of the State (The Kittanning Tribune) has announced an advance in the price of its yearly subscription, and others will be obliged to fol low the example unless, a repeal of the duties on paper should de stroy the power of the monopo ly. Canada alone would be able to supply this country with im mense quantities of paper at reasonable cost if the restraints upon importation should be re moved. Philadelphia Record. Newspaper Etiquette. Parties wishing to enter the "priSti ng office at this season should be governed by the fol lowing rules: Advance to the inner door and give three dis tinct raps or kick thedoordown.

The editor will grasp your hand and the bill and pressing it will say: "You bet!" After giving him the news concerning your locality you will be permitted to retire with a receipt for an obli gation properly discharged. , Marcus (Iowa) News. Think of Rockefeller worth his SI 50.000.000 nosins as a dis interested and impartial witness in behair oi tne excellence oi trusts.
