emphatic objection on the part OF Mr..
Turpin. and II was withdrawn oy the
author.
Mr.. Turpin's motion TO submit Mr..
Patteson's letter To Colonel Jones WAS
then adopted. and definite action VIII be
taken by the committee after the com
mandant OF the regiment has been heard
from.
After the transaction OF some routine
business the committee adjourned.
Action by tn. Military.
meeting Of the non-commissioned Of
fcers and privates of the First regiment,
Virginia Volunteers. infantry. was held IN
the armory last evening. Sergeant }. -
J.. owen was elected chairman In the
absence OF the permanent chairman Ser
geant Gibson was elected Sergeant-at-
arms
The committee appointed 10 draft re-
solutions reported the following.
Whereas. the ordinance concerning the
armory approved February II. 1898, does
unjustly deprive in intent the First regi-
ment. Virginia Volunteers. infantry, Of
the armory erected for them upon the re-
quest OF a large ma iority Of the taX-pay-
ers OF the city Of Richmond, and in which
armory said regiment has a large none
tary interest Therefore be IL
Resolved. That. we tho members OF the
Hrst regiment. Virginia Volunteers. in
fantry ask the city Council TO give our
officers such control OF the armory as
commanders Of military organizations
should have. The regiment cannot at
tend TO its duties without such control.
Resolved. That we the members OF
said regiment greatly deplore the action
Of the City Council In refusing the
altnory. except on special occasions Of
short periods, for the sole use Of said
regiment. as II has greatly crippled the
once strong organization Of 800 unpaid
police.
Resolved. That inasmuch as we have
volunteered our services as soldiers, and
thereby made ourselves liable TO a call
from our homes and business. and after
having spent our money 60 the amount
OF nearly $4,000, we think we have some
rights in the matter. and re DO not think
that the city Council should give up our
home for any purpose without first con-
sulting our board of officers
The resolutions were signed by r. b.
Hickok. CHAPMAN; X. l.. Cardozo, secre-
tary; Sergeant James l.. owen. Sergeant
Henry Colby Sergeant George Wilson,
Corporal J. W. Starke Sergeant William
Gibson. Sergeant William Webb.

position 20 the resolutions, and moved
that they be Sid on the table one week
The resolutions however. We're adopted
only four voting against them. Sergeants
Mills and Fox. Corporal Hardwieke and
Private Manning. all of Company F..
The meeting then adjourned TO meet

Dear Argus:-Mrs. D. T.
Moore, who has been visiting rels
atives here, left Thursday for her
home at Raleigh.
Our genial young friend Nj. W.
S. Smith left Wednesday for Richs
mond where he will spend some
weeks with relatives.
MI. Perry Goodwin, who left
here recently with his feather rem
ovator and located at Magnolia,
was in town last week on a visit.
He is a good looking widower and
there seems to be something here
more attractive to him than feaths
ers, but don't tell that we said SO.
Miss Rose Ezzell who has been
spending some days very pleas
antly with relatives and friends
over Neuse, returned home Friday.
There was a match game OF base
ball played here Saturday evening
between the Plkeville and Fres
mont clubs. After playing nine
innings the score stood 10 for each
club and as it was then night they
could not unite.
Miss Luda Edgerton, of Pinks
ney. was among us Sunday as the
guest of Misses Efie Blow and
Matte Ham.

State Sunday School Convention.
WARSAW, N. O., August 26.


Editor Aryus: / beg you to allow
me space in your excellent paper TO
let your readers know something
about the IntersD enominational
State Sunday School Convention,
held in Greenboro on the %, 80 aud
Oath inst.
The convention was composed of
$40 delegates Of nearly all denomi-
nations in the State. The program
was o. unusual interest, including
nearly every phase of Sunday school
work. and it was most successfully
carried out. No one present could
fail to catch enthusiasm and re-.
ceive good impressions. Many dur
ing the last session of the conven-I
ton expressed themselves as being
truly gratifed that they had the
privilege to attend a Sunday School
Convention of so much interest ard
profit to themselves.
DR., Warden, of Philadelphia, said:
Il have never been III a better cons
vention of the kind" He is one Of
the most forcible speakers it has
ever been my good fortune to listen
to. He paid a very high compll-
ment to the work beng done in this
State as reported by the delegates
from the counties and townships
represented.
The addresses of DR.. Jas. A. War;
den of Philadelphia, DR.. T. II. Law,
of Spartenburg, S. G., Bishop Ron~
thaler, Salem, N. g. and DR.. Crowell,
of Trinity, were of the very highest
order, and were so entertaining and
lnstructing, that none could fail to
be benefited by them. Errors in
teaching by Prof. J. T. Farrell Gras
ham and Isl of maps, charts and
diagrams by Rev. E. E. Murray Me-
bane, were, as it seems, masters of
the subjects they handled aud those
teachers that were present and heard
the splendid lectures could not fail
to go back to their homes better
equipped for the responsible position
