HENRY BTOUNT AS A LECT
URER

The versatile and inimitabie Henry
Blount, editor of the Wilson Mirror,
which holds a place that is pecul-
iarly smi generis in the journalism
not only of the State hut the nation,
has contracted for series of lectures,
and will open up at Florence, S. G,
on Thursday night Of this week.
In the lecture field we are sure be
will treat his hearers, as he does the
readers of his limpid Mirror, with
flights of poetic fancy and rythmic
word painting as none other can.
Like the poet Cowper he
can clothe the "despised cat
erpillar :" with interest until ii
becomes the gaudy butterfly of be-
witching beauty; he can lay before
yocr fancy the loveliest landscapes
till your vely eyes feast on their order
and beauty; he can paint the sunset
and evening tlntings, in all their
endless variety of shades and colors,
in glowing language; he can lead you
high up into 'sYonder argent fields
above" till you catch the music of
the spheres as they ''sing together in
harmony; but it is in the realm Of
love that Henry Is at home and at
his best-and we would, therefore,
advise the young people of Florence
to go out and hear him, for in case
he should "branch OUT on this sub.
ject he will be sure to max ake'matches, y
for none can so well couch in lans
guage the delight which clings about
the love of young people, the "airy
nothings" which deck it out in robes
of blue and gold, which make the
birds to sing aweeter and the flowers
to blush into deeper beauty as they
pass by and all the air to thrill with
melody and breath with perfume.
The ARGUS wishes our congenial
brother of the Mirror the most emi-
nent success in the lecture field.

More caucusing on the Pubic Print
ing.

A supplemental caucus was held
on the public printing tang!e
Thursday afternoon in the Hall of
the House, and after a two hour
and half session, it was announced
that the sense of the caucns had
taken shape in a resolution to re :
affirm it's former actor. To good
many people this was rather an
Ambiguous resolution, some not
knowing whether it reaffirmed the
action to let the printing to the
lowest bidder, to lot it out to
Messrs. Edwards and Broughton
and E, M, Uzzell ct fifteen per cent
discount on the former price, or to
make Mr.. Joshephus Daniels pub
lie printer minns the bonus. After
patient inquiry, it was ascertained
with reasonable degree of Ger.
tainly that the opinion of the gen.
tlemen of the caucus was that the
resolution meant a re-declaration
that Mr.. Josephus Daniels is it's
choice for public printer upon the
basis of fifteen per cent less than
the former prices. Having thus
settled the mist of uncertainty that
besflogged the public printing at.
mosphere the caucus adjourned.
Some thick headed people who
can't understand anything still
think that the question out to be
sot on again before the business is
finally would up.-Raleigh Neaos.

element tf tie Sonth. With little
less ability than TIE Eamented
Grady, he is more positive, eners
getic and practical. and his selec-
will be widely feit in the new in
epiration it must give to the young
blood of the struggling recon-
structed States. The one trained
practical politician Ct the Cabinet
is Lamont, who is one of the most
sagacious political leaders Of the
country.
The fly in the Cabinet ointment
is Judge Gresham. He is ripe in
experience, stubborn i'll integrity.
and fully sizes up to MS high po-
sition. He is one of the eleventh
hour laborers in the Democratic
vineyard, and for that lie is criti-
cised by many Democrats who res
fuse to learn that the present swift
transitions in politics present new
occasions with new duties. Judge
Gresham cast his first Democratic
vote for Cleveland last fall, but he
is only one Of hundreds OF thons
sands who did the same thing, and
all of them are necessary to sus~
tain The administration they called
into being. Looking at the present
political situation and its probable
drift, Mr.. Cleveland has made no
wiser selection than that OF Judge
Gresham.
Mr.. Carlisle has taken the labor
ing oar ofthe new administration,
and he has made exceptional sac~
rifice to accept the most exacting
duties. He gave up life estate
in the Senate to formulate new
economic policy for the nation. He
is peculiarly fitted for such task,
but even the most capable may
fail in the successful creation OF
new tariff policy for the governs
ment: II be succeeds. he would
be the most hopeful Presidential
candidate in 1896 if he does not
succeed in commanding the APP
proval of the country Tor his new
policy, he must 60 into history as
q failure. He is able. honest, tires
lees and thoroughly familiar with
the tariff, and he starts with every
promise OF success.
Mr.. Bisse.l is personal appoints
ment of devoted friend, bat he
is equal to the duties Of ad ministers
ing the Postal department., Mr..
Morton is an agriculturist with
wholesome practical ideas in that
line, and MIR. Olney is the only
member OF the Cabinet who is
novice in politics, but he is admit
tedly one of the ablest lawyers Of
the land.
The Cleveland Ca binet is busa
iness Cabinet first OF all, and it Is
not in any degree accidental that
it is Sc. 1t was obviously intended
by the President that his Cabinet
and his administration should COM
mand the cordial confidence CT the
great business interests Of the coun-
try from the day it entered Office;
and that has been fully assured in
the selection of his constitutional
advisers. There will be plenty of
politics in the new admintration
when occasion calls for if, t
will be Democratic politict; but it
will! ever be business first and pol-
itics after.-Phild. Times.

A Bank Clerks Stealings.
WILMINGTON, Feb. 2:

w \ OOs 6c
Peter T, E. Smith, paying teller
of the First National Bank, one o1
the prominent financial institutions
of this city, confessed this after
noon that he is an e,nbezzler to the
amount of $55, 900, and that his
peculations extend over a period
of fifteen years. The confession
was made to President J. P. Win.
chester, of the bank, who immed~
lately had Smith arrested.
He is now in the custody of
Marshal Mehaffey and will be
given a hearing tomorrow morn-
ing in the United States Court.
The affair created tremendous
sensation, as Smith has been con.
nected with the bank for twentyz
five years and is prominent in
business circles. Smith lives in
good style at SIS West Fourth
street and declares that the money
was used on his family. Mr..
Smith has large family who are,
it is said, quite extravagant. When
Mr.. Winchester became president
of the bank, several months ago,
he asked Smith to make a trial
balance, but the latter postponed
it until Mr., Wincheeter became
suspicious.
Two clerks made a balance on
Sunday under Mr.. Winchester's
orders and the shortage was dis
covered. When Bank Examiner
Stone called to-day and asked for
a balance sheet he was told of
Smiths operations and the arrest
followed.

But ills and woes he may not cure

The Work of His Own Hands.

The complimentary drill given
DR.. and Mrs. M, E. Robinson by the
Golosboro Rifles, Co. d. 1st Regi-
ment, on Thursday night, was quite
an enjoyable affair and credit to
the Company.
Their spacious hall was tastefully
decorated with flags and brilliantly
illuminated with electric lights.
Promptly at s o'clock the command
was given to fall in. The company
formed with fortv-two men in line.
The first exel else was the man ual
of arms and company movements.
They were executed with ease, show
ing that the boys had been properly
Instructed by their efficient Captain.
The next thing on the programme
was the competitive drill of fours,
which were constituted as follows:
First -Four:
Pvt. r. A Creech, Corpal L Collins,
L. d. GiddeLsJr. 3 WA. Freeman
Second -Four:
Pvt J.W. Gulick, ,,Jr. Pvt. III. J. Grant
J. G. Derl Cor. J. W. Nash
Third Four:
Pvt F. Tudor Cor. H. Fl. Brown

After going through the several
movements in which commands
were given that could not be exc
cuted the several fours were marched
to the judges stand for the decision,
which was in favor of the first four.
The movements ard manual of all
we're good, bu5 that cf the first four
seemed perfect.
The programme closed With the
competitive individual drlll partici-
pated in by the whole company,
which was the most exciting and
laughaole part of the evenings en-
joyment, the rule being that when a
member commit one error he had to
fall out of ranks and take a seat.
After consid arable time and skillful
maneuvreing on the part of the
company's officers Mr.. R. a. Creech
was left alone in linz and was
declared the winner.
The company was again furmed
and DR.. NJ. E. Robinson was called
upon for speech.
The Doctor responded in all ap-
propriate manner and said that he
fully appreciated the compliment
rendered him aud his wife; that he
had always been proud of the Golds~
boro Rifles from the tim. he saw
them march off to war until now,
and after witnessing the skillful
manner in which they had executed
the commands given them he was
prouder than ever Of them.
