It is the best administered town in the State. Its present Board of Aldermen work together in perfect harmony such as has not .been so characteristic of any previous Board. Unity of purpose and that' purpose the achievements of a Greater Golds boro patriotic perseverance In prog ress, and the impartial adminstration of the city's affairs have been distinc tive features of their service so that we have had no unseemly wrangles and no delays in the city's develop ment. The record of Goldsboro's marvel- ous growth under their administration shows that that they have not been drones, and the fact that they have reduced our tax rate while yet giving U3 such splendid public Improve ments, with a handsome treasury Bur plus, shows that they have not been spendthrifts. I ! Would it not be suicidal for a big prosperous business concern, with big plans for greater development under way, to deliver itself over to new and inexperienced -management? Why then change our splendid Board of Aldermen who have done and who are doing so much for Golds boro? And who work together for the city's uplift and progress jso har moniously? ! f If one of them or any of them are worthy of renomination they are each and all equally so, for there has been no retarding friction in thelrj deliber ations, j I therefore nominate the personnel of the present Board of Aldermen for the consideration of my fellow citizens in the coming Democratic primary and I do so with their consent, as follows: t 1 First Ward Clarence W.

The Acme Theatre Has Arranged an Extraordinary Program of Pic tures For April 9th. ' The management of the Acme has been fortunate in booking for next Friday Mary Pickford in Channing Pollock's greatest story "Such a-Little Queen, as picturized by the Famous Players Picture Company in five reels of motion pictures. f I twill be remembered that Miss Pickford recently won fche Ladles World Popularity contest,' thus mak ing her the most popular screen play er today. It is said that she receives a weekly salary of $2,500 to appear in one subject amonth. As a special added attraction they will repeat by request the photo scenes made of last years County Com mencement exercises. As no doubt the theatre will be crowded the man agement urges all j who possibly can to attend the early shows. I ; It is also announced by the manage ment that on Saturday, April 10th, the first installment of the highly 'recom mended serial picture entitled "The Exploits o ifEjaine)' featuring our daring heroine of the "Perils of Pau line", Miss Pearl White and the man agement authorizes us to say that af ter you have seen ; the first five epi sodes of this series and you are not satisfied, or feel that it is worthless your money will be refunded box office. at the AS WE WERE SAYING This would be a much bette world if people would only finish everything that they start. Don't argue. Did you ever hear an argument that was anything more or less than a flock of unnecessary con versation? If a woman ha3 enough spoons to entertain without running around and borrowing some, she always imagines that she is a little better than her neighbors. j .

BICKETT EXONERATED Editor Argus: -Justice should be the prevailing principle In politics, as well as other activities. j Some days ago, in conversation with Hon. T. W. Bickett in Raleigh, he casually remarked that he hoped all the folks in my county were for him for Governor. In reply I stated that I jwas not so sure about it, that while he had strong friends in my section, his chances were being very much j hurt by reports that he had treated Judge Cooke very unjustly, by pleading the statute of limitations to a suit on a! surety note in which he was inter ested as a defendant and attorney, and that to be perfectly frank with him he had fallen in my estimation on ac count of it. I told him I had made up my mind to speak to him about it at the first opportunity, a3 I wanted to be just to him. 1 Mr. Bickett stated in reply that he had heard of the re ports. That he did not deem it seemly to enter into a defense of himself, but would send me a statement approved by Attorneys for Judge Cooke showing his connection with the case. This statement I have just received, and to my mind fully exonerates Mr. Bick ett from any charges of unfair deal ing in the matter. I give below Mr. Bickett's letter to me and enclosure from Clerk of Court of Franklin county: Raleigh, N. C, April 2, 1915. Col. John D. Laneston. Goldsboro. N. C.

Teague, who Is now in the race for the Mayorship of our city, especially in view of the fact that he came among us after he was grown. Mr. ; Teague was born in Randolph county almost thirty years ago. His father, who was a Lieutenant in Co. K., 26th N. C. Regiment and received ajwound in the Battle of the Wilder ness from which he never completely recovered, w-as a medical doctor and engaged in tho practice until his death, when S. F., his third son, was nine years old. ' The Doctor was one of the old-fashioned country kind who charged but little and collected less, and, therefore, he left his family no wealth to mention. His wife, Who still survives, was an energetic woman, and she put the smaller children to work in a cotton mill and got the oldest boy in a railroad office to learn telegra phy. When S. F. was 15 years old he left the cotton mill and studied teleg raphy: under his oldest brother, who in the meantime had become an effic ient telegraph operator, and within four months after beginning the study j of telegraphy S. F. had mastered the; art and was given a responsible posi-! This Space will contain Teague Campaign Items each day. LOCAL KKIBFl. Everybody iget f-eady for County Commencement.

" ! ' T. W. BICKETT. Copy of Letter to R. C. Lawrence Lnmberton N. C. Dear Sir: I j have your letter of Nov. 27th, stating that certain reports have been circulated relative tar Mr. T. W. Bickett's connection with; the case of C M. Cooke et als v W. H. Xarborough et als now pending In the court here, j You ask me to give from the records in my office thecon nction of Mr. Bickett with this case and his attitude In regard thereta. It appears from the pleadings on file and matters within my personal knowledge that the suit was brought about two years ago. The defendants are W. H. Yarborough, Dr. R. F. Yar borough, T, W. Bickett, and his . son, William Y. Bickett, a minor. PlaintifEs claim they had to pay cer tain debts, as sureties and otherwise, for Yarborough, Davis & Co., a mer cantile firm which failed about thirty years ago. The firm was composed of W. H. Yarborough, W. K. Davis and R. F. Yarborough. W. K. Davis died in 1901, and R. F. Yarborpugh in 1910, leaving W. II. Yarborough as sole surviving partner. Judgment is prayed against W. H. tion with the L. Railroad ; Company, though he was only 15 years old. He stayed in the employment of the Railroad company, going here and there as his employers reqmired and doing all sorts of railroad work, rang ing from trick operator, to agency and dispatching, until October, 1902, when he entered the sixth grade at Buies Creek Academy; in Harnett county, with a savings account of $U05. t He finished' his preparatory course -iiUhe spring of 1906, having made, during his vacations and spare moments, his expenses ; and after working for the three summer months, he entered the State University in Sept., with slight ly more money than enough to pay his entrance fees. Then for four years he stayed in the University completely on his own resources, which he re plenished at vacations, at Christmas and in the summer by working in a railroad office or byt travelling as a salesman, in addition to doing inci dentally various sorts of work while in college, ranging from the caring for a Drofessors horse to managing a boarding house, from which he got some pay. At the end of the four years he had completed the four years course with credit. He got his diploma and left the University owing less than $200, notwithstanding the fact that four years in college costs from $1,200 to $2,000. ! It was at thi3 juncture that Mr. Teague came to Wayne county, first ter's horn Friday afternoon at 4 o' clock. All members who expect to attend are requested to notify -the hostess. ' j Miss Ludie Grantham, to the pleas ure of all her young friends here, Is at home for tha Efester holidays from St Agnes College, Mt. Washington, Md. . 'j.- The Music Department of the Wo mans Cub will meet in the clubroom tomorrow (Wednesday) morning at 10 o'clock, and a full attendance is urged. Mr. and Mm. E. M. Land are at home again from - Salisbury, where Mrs. Land has been for some weeks an op erative patient in the Stokes Hospital, and is now convalescent, her many friends will be glad to know. Messrs. H. G. Swann, S. C. Patten, and C. A. Adams, Jr., of Durham, who accompanied Mr. Paul Phillips to his home in this city to spend Easter, re turned with him to Durham this af ternoon, where ho is engaged in the moving picture business. Misses Luaile and Gladys Stallings, of Birmingham, Ala who arastudents of Peace Institute, Raleigh, who have been spending ; tb Easter holidays with their aunt Mra. Sam Bridgers on John street, so nth, returned to their studies today, i ; Messrs. McLod & McDonald open ed yesterday at the Crystal for a week's engagement with "A Night In Old HeldlebuTg." The house was fill ed and manor were standing, - With a representative audience of Goldsboro's ladles and, gjenfclemen, and nothing but the highest Jpraise is heard from those Yarborough for debts of said firm al leged to be due plaintiffs, and that a deed from W. H. Yarboror-gh to the other defendants be set aside. (This is set out more fully later.) W. H. Yarborough was adjudged by the court mentally incapable of mak ing a defense for himself, and hi3 son, Dr. R. F. Yarborough, was appointed guardian for him. The guardian in his answer says he has no personal knowledge of the matters complained of, the failure of Yarborough, Davis & Company hap pening when he was ten years old, that he has no means of acquiring knowledge since all parties are dead except his father, who i3 now without memory, and as required By Sec. 361 ' pleads the statute of limitations. This is the case in outline. As to Mr. Bickett's connection with ; it; about eight years ago, Col. W. H. ' Yarborough conveyed the first floor, consisting of four office rooms, of a building on Main street, one-half to his son, Dr. R. F. Yarborough, in fee, and one-half to T. W. Bickett for life, with remainder to hi3 grand son, Wil liam Y. Bickett, Mr. Bickett having married Miss Fannie Yarborough, daughter of Col. W. H. Yarborough. Mr. Bickett's interest is a life inter est in two rooms occupied by him as a law office. The complaint asks that this deed. be set aside. Mr. Bickett in his answer sets out that he knows nothing about the mat ters in controversy between plaintiffs and Col. W. H. Yarborough, that at the time of the failure of Yarborough, Davis & Co., he was a boy thirteen years old living in a distant part of the state and came to this count y thirteen years thereafter; that he had going to Fremont to work in the rail road office there during the summer months of 1910. While there the school board employed him as ' principal of the Fremont schools, which position he held very successfully for one school year. The next year he was employed to fill a similar position in the Schools of Goldsboro. He wa3 engaged in Goldsboro in that capacity for two years. He then resigned to enter- the- University Law- Sohooi-t complete the study of law, which he had been pursuing during some of the summers while engaged in teaching. He passed the Supreme Court exami nation in February, 1914, and came back to Goldsboro to practice, regard ing this place as the only home he has had since he left his mother's home in Randolph county when he was 15 years old. He has, therefore, been a citizen of the county five years and of the town four years. He loves Goldsboro and Wayne county and has selected this as his permanent home, feeling closer to It than to any other place, and wishing to be numbered by all as a willing servant of the people and a devoted citizen of the town. In poli tics he is a Democrat by birth, by en vironment, and by conviction; but he is tolerant of those who differ from Ihlm, expecting of every man only honest thought and the courage to stand by his conclusions.

WILLIAMS' DBU6 STOBE SELLS IT CHEJJPEB had no reason to doubt the right of Col.

But since his title to the office rooms was questioned he offers in his plead ings to convey back to Col. Yarbor ough any interest which he has. The statute of limitations is not pleaded by either Mr. Bickett or his son and copies of their answers are attached. Mr, Bickett does not appear in the case as attorney. The interest of Col. Yarborough (who has since died, Au gust of this year) are being defended by his son Dr. Yarborough, a promi nent physician of this place and a man of high standing.
