UP-TO-DATE AND HOVEL ADVERTISING METUODS ADOPTED BY THE ENTERPRISING BOUSE OF WILLIAMS' DURG STORE. That Goldsboro is fast becoming metropolitan in the methods of adver tising used by our merchants to call the buying public's attention to the many splendid values which they are joffering, also tjhat the wide-awake Williams' Drug Store are keeping up with and just a little ahead of the times in an advertising respect Is again practically demonstrated by what is perhaps the most elaborate system of advertising ever attempted by any business house in this section, namely: the giving away of the beauti ful Claxton Player Piano which is now on exhibition at their store. This piano retails at $600.00 each, guaranteed for ten years. The prin cipal points of superiority of this cele brated Claxton piano over any other of this class of instruments lie in the three strings in unison with over strung bas3, the splendidly pitched scale and true sounding board which give the Claxton that rich, deep, even tone so much admired. . In a recent interview with Mr. Wil liams regarding this decided innova tion in advertising, he stated: "We have been enjoying the patronage and confidence of the buyers of this com munity for some time now and by always trying to keep our stocks com plete the saying that 'You can get it at Williams' has become a household expression. In giving away this piano we are actuated by a double purpose, to show our appreciation of the pat ronage of our friends during the past, also to encourag enew trade and to bring the many splendid values we are now showing in all lines to the atten tion of every buyer in this territory. The plan we are using in giving away this piano Is equitable and fair to all, simply this, every person bying one dollar's worth of anything in our store will receive a coupon good for 100 votes. The person returning to us on February 1st, 1915, the largest number of votes will be given the piano abso lutely free of all -Cost. No favors will be shown. Our reputation for 'square dealing' assures our customers of that fact." : This six hundred ' dollar Claxton Player Plan is surely a present worth having and we predict a very "merry race" for votes during the next few months. Williams Drug Store are surely to be congratulated upon their broad minded methods and "Trade Getter" advertising system. The Argus will issue orders on the Williams Drug Store for vote3 on all subscriptions, advertising : and job printing. W. G. Smith, census ......... 2.40 R. B. Peele, census ........... 4.80 J. R.

Emperor William opened the Imperial Parliament today with a speech from the throne. He said In part: "The world has been a witness of the indefatigable manner in which we stood in the front rank in the endeav or to save Europe from a war between the great powers. The greatest perils due to events In the Balkans appeared to have been overcome, but then the assassination of my friend, the Arch duke Francis Ferdinand, opened up a great abyss. "My ally, Emperor Francis-Joseph, was compelled to take up arms to pro tect his Empire against the dangerous agitation in a neighboring State. 'In pursuing its interests the Rus sian empire stepped in the way of Austria-Hungary. 'Not only our duty as an ally called us to the side of Austria-Hungary, but the great task wa3 cast upon us to protect our position against unfriend ly forces. "It was with a heavy heart I was conlpelled to mobilize my army. The Russian government, giving way to an insatiable nationalism, has stepped to the side of a State which, through a criminal act had brought about the ca lamity of this war. That France also placed herself on the side of our op ponent was not surprising to us. "The present situation arose, from not temporary conflicts of internation al or diplomatic combinations, but is the result of ill-will existing for years IMPENDING CRISIS Every citizen in Goldsboro is personally interested in the Impending crisis in our street car situation. Really, Goldsboro, characterized as it is by a distinctive development and marvelous progress and a most inviting future, cannot afford to permit ita street car service to cease. The committee having the matter in stock holders and the Goldsboro public speaks for itself: -T'-i DEAR SIR: At a meeting of the subscribers, to Company, held in the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce Monday night, August 3rd, Mr. J.

He stated also that he would sell Street Railway Company, if our people The meeting not being able to consider decisively the proposition of Mr. Livers, decided to iesue this call for a joint meeting of the subscribers of stock and every citizen of Goldsboro interested, to be held in the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce at 8:30 o'clock Wednesday night, August 5th, 1914, to discuss the maintenance of the It is very important that you attend of our citizens with you, that are not Will reyive vour disordering your m deadly bile from bad after effects caused by Calomel or j r. tivos rji " jj w B4.vrt. vr UIS OSWUI IIK.9 SaitS.

"My Government and, above all, my chancellor, tried until the last moment to prevent the worst happening. "In enforced self-defense, with clear conscience and clean hands we grasp the sword. "To the reoples and races of the German Empire my appeal goes forth to stand together fraternally with onr allies in defense of that which we have created In peaful work. "Following the example of our fore fathers, firm and faithful earnest and chivalrous, humble before our God and ready to fight when in face of the ene my, let us confide ourselves to the ev erlasting Almighty, who will strength en our defense and conduct it to a good end." At the conclusion of his speech from the throne, the Emperor addressed the deputies directly, saying: ."Gentlemen: You have read what I said to my people the other day from the balcony of my castle. I repeat now that I no longer know any parties. I know only Germans and in order to testify that you are firmly resolved without distinction of party to sand by my side through danger and death I call upon the leaders of the different parties In this house to come forward and lay hands in mine as a pledge." charge have issued to prospective in general the following call, which Goldsboro, N.
