Greensboro, N. C, Feb. ifl.Ther
was a fine audience at emitn uemoruu
Building last night to hear the renowned
lecturer; and school specialist, Hon.
Preston ; Search of California. He
spoke , under the auspices of the city
Graded schools to the graduating class
of the" High School, his subject being
"Face- to Face With Great Ideals."
The city superintendents now in session
here attended in a body. This after
noon the association met at the State
Normal and Industrial College and af
ter hearing elevating addresses from
City Superintendent Crjjwell of High
Point on the teaching of music in the
nublic school and from Superintendent
of Public Instruction J. Y. Joyner on
the system ' of : teaching in the. High
School. Dr. -Search made another ad
mirable talk on graduation work. .
The .officers for the ensuing year
elected were: , President, J. T. Alder
man of Henderson; Vice President, W.
S. Snipes of Winston; Secretary and
Treasurer, I. F. Griffin, Salisbury.
The argument in the Samuel case in
the Federal court did not begin until
the afternoon session yesterday, when
Mr. J. J. Britt of Asheville, made the '
opening speech of two hours for the
prosecution. v
His effort was pronounced by every
body as a very great presentation of
the government's contentions. Judge
Bynum made two hours argument this
morning when court will take a recean
until Monday.
Before the argument began yester
day Judge Boyd on request of attorneys,
allowed eight hours to each side instead
of fcix as had been previously agreed
upon.
There was a very spicy legal argu
ment over the admission of some sup
posedly sensational evidence offered
by the prosecution :n the Samuel s case
which gave an in Cresting glimpse of
the po'itical pha e of it. The defense
hat all along bo n intimating that the
prosecution wi. inspired by the oppon
ents of Congressman Blackburn, but
successfully r jisted the first effort of
the District Attorney to show other
wise.

Special to Journal
Greensboro, Feb. 10. The New York
Motion Exchange was closed today and

account of Lincoln's birthday. The
market is down during the week about
!6 x ints, and after a great display of
freikriet-s during the first part of the
Awck, closes at a recovery from the
(owt t, with a much better feeling
There seems to be less pressure, and
pinnt;ra are more inclined to buy, and
o regard values as cheap enough for
1 6 tune being. It appears that con
tiderabie of the extensive interest who
bought cotton at 12 to 121c a pound oi
fie mista' en ideas of a 9 to 10 million
bale crop, and an impossible consump
tion, have sold out their purchases, and
in some cases have actually gone short
of the market. The reduction in the
price of cotton has not found a similar
concession in yarns and dry goods. We
therefore think there is more reason
for an advance than for further de
clines. Merchants Attention

Ensnaring
Victims.
Steps Should be Taken at Once to
Prevent Further Trouble,
Here in New Bern, as in other cities
and towns, dyspepsia or stomach trou
bles are ensnaring victims in a most
insidious was.
Use Mi-o-na now and soothe the irri
tated walls of the stomach and strength
en the gastric foil cleg so that they
will pour out their daily supply of di
gestive materials with regularity. Then
the headaches, sleeplessness, specks be
fore the eyes, poor appetite, tired feel
ings and nervousness will disappear,
and you can eat what you want at any
time you like.
Just one little tablet out of a 50 cent
box before meals, for a few days, and
you will soon regain perfect health and
strength, and have no fear of indiges
tion or stomach troubles. Ask F. S.
Duffy to show you the guarantee under
which he sells this remedy.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
AT WILMINGTON.
Our Slater City Suffers a Serious Conflagra-J
Hon Entailing a Lou of Nearly
$100,000.
The city of Wilmington was visited
by one of the most destructive fires it
has ever had; the worst since 1886. The
use is unknown but the general devas
tation was due to low piessure from
the water works which prevented ef
fi :ient work by the firemen. The loss
is estimated at between $80,000 and
$100,000 and takes from the business
portion about half a block of stores.
The proprietor of the Willard Bag
and Manufacturing Co. is the son-in-law
of Mr. W. H. Oliver of this city.
Mr. Willard is the heaviest loser ol
ny, the factory being a large three
itory structure. Following is the list
of victims and lossee:
Willard Bag and Manufacturing Co. ,
building, stock and equipment, $45,000.
Mrs. Elizabeth Vollers, building on
Front and also on Dock streets, $15,000
