THAT is a manly. patriotic and
timely letter of Maj. W. A. Guthrie
that appears in this issue of THE
ARGUS. Tt should be needed by
Third party afiliates. To them it
carries confidence in every line and
open truth on its face. They cannot
with consist ncy refuse to receive it
in good faith, because they have
already, expressed their conception
of Mr.. Gutfrie's integrity and abil-
ity by naming him to a position on
their ticket as a candidate for the
Supreme Court bench-the highest
judicial office in the State. Listen
to his reasoning, friends, and be re-
claimed to the Democratic fold.
WELL! WELT! well!!! Weaver,
the Third party candidate for Presi-
dent of the United States, is lodging
around unheralded in this State, to-
gether with one Mrs. Lease, who is
going around making speeches with
him. They spoke in Fayetteville
Tuesday, although rot previously
booked for that point, and they will
be in Rocky Mount tomorrow. 1t
is said that the old rumor of some
thing that once upon a time broke
loose in Georgia repeated itself down
there last week upon the visit of
Weaver to that State, and that it
got so warm that he had to skeedad-
dle-and that is why he is in North
Carolina so much ahead of time. We
have heard it said that he might,
maybe, speak in Goldsboro.
ONE Ct the colored attendants of the
Eastern Hospital, n ar this city tor
colored insane, lost his life Thursday
at the hands of one of the inmates,
whom it was his duty to watch over,
but instead he reclined himself on a
bench liz the ward, and while in this
position and off his guard, the crazy
inmate approached him and delt
him several blows on the head
rapidly with "a piece Of iron
water or gas pipe, that in some way
he had got possession Of, probably
while being attended about the
grounds. It was an unfortunate
occurrence; but no blame can be at
tache. to the management of the in
stitution, as the duty of the attend
ant was that of a Waterman, and
haying failed therein he paid with
ons life for the laches. Had he been
ha his guard the affair would not
hive happened.
A MELANCHOLY tragedy occur
red the other day on a Hoboken
ferl y-5oat, when one of the passea-
gers entered the ~pllot-hous- and po-
lite,y but firmly Informed the cap
tain thai he was on the wrong course
and should ste. r IN the opposite di-
rection. He was repulsed with so
much rudeness that he left the room
exclaiming: "Great heavens! Have
| paid my two cents and come on
board a boat, only to be toll | to mind
my own business when | offer to
help them out in navigating it:?"
Whereupcn he rushed to the railing
and leaping overheard was swallowed
up by the waves. An examination
of his valise revealed a mass of pub
lished and manuscript letters to var
ious newspapers which !e had been
in the habit of guiding and lnstIuc-
ting gratultously for many years.
His death will be a serious loss to
journalism; but it is some comfort
to know that there are many of his
kind still surviving.
