fGoldsboro Argus.)


There were about seventy five
bales of cotton marketed in this city
yesterday from country carts, which
gave to our streets a Fall time ap-
pearance the very height Of the
season, although the temperature
was that of id-Summer, or there
abouts, OF course so large an
amount Of cotton on the market,
putting something over three thou
sand dollars in circulation among
our merchants, from the traders
who sod, made trade immensely
brisk in all lines of commerce, in al
ditiOn to giving rise to the encourag
ing assurance that there is life and
resources among the farmers Of tins
section yet, and that the prospects
for the ensuing year are brighter
than they have been since the war
This IS no vain boast or random
prediction. 1t is not SO long, in the

Give ihc hogs "a Ride.

A Nebraska farmer is quoted in
the Omaha Bee as saying :"When my
hogs become sick and refuse to eat,
instead of dosing them with mcdF
cine, | load few Of them into a
wagon and take them out riding ,
driving pell,mell over the lots and
pastures, seeking the toughest places
can find. After a few such drives
hogs that before refused to cat begin
to feed and get better. | have not
lost a single hog since began this

SPANISH BULL-FIGHTS.

Changes That Are Very Alarming from
the Matador's Point of View.
The modern buf1-fgh tors complain tnat
their art is decaying because the ''atci-
onados" or amateurs, though fond of it,
are themselves revealing the symptoms
of revolution in their tastes that is very
alarming from the bull-fighter's point
of view The chief tendencies of the
day are a growing repugnance to excess
i've cruelty in dispatching bulls and
Lorsla even, and an even greater repug-
Lance to too rash diplays of bravery on
the part of the toreros.
1t is fact that nowadays one never
sees mastiff dogs or wild animals brought
into the ring to bait the bulls, and one
very seldom witnesses the use of Ban
derillas &c fuego"-fre-works darts and
fuses-to goad on to fury dull or tlmld
bull. The half-moon spear is rarely used
to hamstring and disable bull or to
make it easy for his matador to plant
the point of the sword behind its head.
Even the most famous matadOrs are
Missed, hooted and pelted with bottles
and other missiles if they wound and
worry bull too much ere they kill him.
A whole audience sometimes rises to
protest against disabled, bleeding,
panic-stricken, lettering horse being
kept in the ring while his life blood is
pouring out or his entrails trailing on
the sand, because an impresario will not
go to the expense of another steed.
Sand is now promptly cast over the CORY
arena to spare the feelings of spectators
who no longer, like the amateurs of the
DAYS of Cuchares and Pope Hilo, cry
''Brava toro!" when a bull hurls man
into the air or knocks him down. On
the contrary, your nineteenth century
Spaniard spring to his feet, utters cries
or groans of horror and concern, shouts
Enough, enough" or ''Take care, take
care!" even when his favorite toreros are
only slightly endangering their lives in
order to fix the ''ban derillas" or to Stay
their horned adversary.
Old ''aficionados" are am azed to see
the alarm, anxiety and concern now VS.
ible in every part of ring when bull
fighter has been caught and wounded
even not seriously. Net less striking IS
the fact that the women of the middle
classes and of the better working classes
are every year less numerous in the bull
ring at Madrid and in the provinces.
1t is from the lowest and highest ranks
of Spanish society that female amateurs
of the bull-ring are recruited. Then,
again. the more enlightened and better
educated men of the middle classes and
of the bourgeoisie neither go nor take
their wives. They resent it if the bull
fight is still called a national sport, and
they reply it is only such for the masses
and the fast people of the upper classes.

THE VANDERBILT RICHES.
Something About the Institution in Which
They Are Stored.

Something About the Institution in Which
They Are Stored.
There is no better place in which to
see evidences of tangible wealth, belong
ing to women as well as men, than the
Lincoln National Bank. In the glass
partitioned and quite sumptuous room
of the president of that institution, very
busy at a massive and Uttered desk,
sat ex-Postmaster General Thomas L.
James Evidently in his experience
first as postmaster here in New York,
and then as Postmaster General at the
head of our tremendous mail service,
Mr.. James trained his natural abilities
so as to make of himself thorough
paced master of business affairs That
was the Judgment of the late William
Fl, Vandcrhilt anyhow, and subsequently
of ali the other male Nanderbilts, 70"
he was chosen to organize and manage
She VanderbiltS' bank and safe deposit
vaults. This is the fiscal instit1t io4 for
the enormous Vanderbilt properties BE-
sides doing general banking business
for the neighborhood of the Grand Can-
trail depot.
Its massive building contains the tiI,
proof vaults in which the Wand .rtll s
stow away their evidences of the owner
ship of somewhere near to $500, D0n. 900.
Other folks are permitted, by paying for
the privilege, to deposit valuables in
this same safe place. So it Is in the
midst of tremendous wealth that Thomas
L. James is busy all day long, and day
after day. don't know whether he is
himself getting rich or not, but the
financial operations in which he is an
executive factor are big enough to daze
anybody not accustomed to the dazzle Of
gold. Millionaires of both sexes are as
plenty on those premises as paupers in
the poor-house, and the dowagers and
iamsels of extreme riches, too, troop
there to put in or take out money, doc
uments, jewelry, family plate and other
cherished articleS-Cor. Boston Herald.

One Hundred Miles an Hour.

Sir Edwin Watkins has, on behalf Of
the Metropolitan Railway Company,
offered the manager of the Water rail-
way piece of ground near London, on
which to lay down line two miles in
length. We shall, therefore, soon have
an opportunity to try what, if the &C
counts are true, must be the very poetry
of motion. The carriages run on skates
or slides, but between the slide and the
rail is forced film of water, which pre-
vents all jolting, humping and shaking,
and, in fact, makes the carriages skim
along as boat does on the sea. Then.
too, the pace is hundred miles an hour.
If the new railroad is really practicable
for long distances all England will be a
suburb of London, and Surrey will be
saved from becoming a chess-board,
covered with what the auctioneers call
villa residences standing in their own
three acres and half of park-like
grounds" A hundred miles an hour
would make Bath as accessible as Bright
on is now, while Manchester could be
reached in an hour and fifty minu tes.-

Think Twice Before Picking the stray
Thread from Ais Coat

Think Twice Before Picking the STRAY
Thread from Ais Coat.
The drummer always brings the latest
trick. Here it is;
Take a spool of white basting cotton.
Drop it into your inside coat pocket and,
threading needle with it, pass it up
through the shoulder of your coat.
Leave the end an inch or so long on the
outside of your coat and take off the
needle. Four men out of five will try
to pick that whole thread off your shout
der, and will pull on the spool until it
actually does seem as though your
clothes are all hastings, and that they
were unraveling not only your clothes,
but yourself.

Foot by foot it unrolled. Half glancing
around l saw a mana total stranger
yanking at that thread. His face was
scarlet. He had pulled out about ten
yards and was now hauling in hand over
hand. He didn't dare to stop because
he had decorated my back and the
whole aisle with basting cotton. He
hardly dared to go ahead, for he
didn't know what portion of my
domestic interior economy he was
trifing with. Rip! Rip! went the
thread. Hand over hand he yanked
it in. The aisle was full of it. Fol

he above his breath. | sat perfectly
still and ran the spool while he pulled.
How I wanted to yell. 1 never saw any
thing in my life half so funny. The
whole section of the house got on TO it.
They didn't know whether to laugh at
me or him, and some looked on amazed
at the spectacle. At last the stranger
behind me gave one frantic rip and
yanked out about eleven yards on one
bunch, and as the cotton got twisted
around his watch chain, over his eye
glasses, in his very hair, and filled his
lap, 1 turned around and, producing the
spool from my pocket, said: 1 am very
much obliged for your interest and very
sorry that l misled you. You see that L

me and then at the spool. He changed

crowd caught on a big laugh went up

Claudian, and the gentleman who had
intended to pull that thread off joined
in the laugh and said: / will square

4 LONE REGULATOR.
How the Lottery Business Was Discontin-
ued at Dodge City, Kan.


ued at Dodge City, Kan.
Nowadays Eastern municipal rule Is
so bound in by law and hedged about by
ordinance and charter that the authorl-
ties are but part of the machine itself,
directed by and not directing. once In
awhile we get Mayor Gleason, VINO,
axe in hand, heads his forces to demol-
ish the distractions of railroad corpo-
ration; or an Alexander Shepherd, who
in a single night rips up usurping rail-
road track and lays a granite pavement
where the rails had lain. But those
days are about done, methinks.
Larry Deger, marshal of Dodge City,
Kan. was one of that type. Dodge City
was at all times rough town. But Mas
terson and his gang rode it rough-shod.
1t was useless to interfere with them 50
long as they ran a straight game, but
let any crookedness develop and Mar
shall Deger was after the guilty ones.
A crowd of sharpers opened place
near the depot where they ran lottery.
They had a stock of watches, jewelry,
revolvers, silver, and so forth. The
railroad men. cowboys and square
heads" as the Scandinavians were
called, were roped in to trying the lot
terry. A long box of envelopes were
shown. each one containing a number,
which number was supposed to draw
some of the articles temptingly dis

slider ever drew prize of any value.

them off with nominal fine, and they
Immediately resumed business. One
day he walked in with drawn revolver.
''This sure-thing game has been run
ming long enough, said he. I've told
you fellows to skip town half dozen
times"
He put one of his big arms under the
showcase and picked it up.
'I'll kill every man that draws gum
he remarked as he started to the street.
They knew him, and though they swore
considerable, not a gambler touched his
pistol. Arriving in the middle of the
street Deger dropped his load, and then,
throwing his $50 pounds of flesh and
bone on the case, danced wild Berser-
kir war-dance on it until its contents
were destroyed. Then he returned to
the room, kicked down all the fixtures,
drove out the sharpers, locked the door
as he went out and put the key in his
pocket.
Now, if you want to sue me-" said
he, ego ahead. | am a man of sub
stance, and will pay any Judgment you
can get"
The sharpers tried to get the gamblers
to mob the marshal, but his draw" and
tremendous strength were too well
known, and Deger ruled the roost.-
