Raleigh carrying f We prisoners to the
penitentiary as the results of last
weeks work on the criminal docket
of this county in the Superior court
Those sent up were all colored, as
follows : Steve Daniel, 5 years, per-
Jury; Jno. Rountree, 5 years. larceny;
Jack Palmer 5 years, secret assault;
Alice Cogdell 2 years and Malissa
Simmons, Is months, larceny.
WE publish this morning an able
communication from our good friend
and solid Democratic confrer, Mr.. B.
A. Hallett, of Mount Olive, who
stands square!y with THE ARGUS in
its Interpretation of the duty that the
Democratic party owes to Presiden
Cleveland, whom it has placed at its
head. He is our learder. We should
be his faithful followers if we would
be worthy soldiers and successful
electors.
THE people should not forget
that we are still living under the
hard times protective tarff of the
Republican party. The Democrats
are in power and are working on a
tariff bill that will soon convert
the present Republican panic into
Democratic prosperity. Dun't get
excited, and don't let Republican
ljeers make you forget the real
trouble. The panic is a Republican
curse coming home to roost.
THE ARGUS congratulates right
heartily its esteemed contemporary
the Wilmington Star, which yes
terday begnn it's ftty>third semi
annual vo;une and 9th gear. It
is the Oldest daily newspaper in
North Carolina, and enjoys a hrm
hold upon the esteem and conf
dence of all the people; but not
more SO than it emineutly deserves.
1t looks with hope to the future
and S. eaks words of cheer on the
lcommon outlook. Continued life
and ever increasing prosperity to
the Star.
IN the case Of Byrd VS.. Hudson
and Cox. sounding in damages for
SANDER, which came up from Grams
tham's township and took up the
%ertire attention of the court all last
week, the jury returned their YER
dict yesterday evening, giving the
plaintiff eleven hundred dollars and
all costs. The case was closely con-
tested and contended by opposing
lcounsel, of which there was an i'm
posing array on both sides, conse,
quently it is reasonable to presume
that tt verdict of the Jury is i'm
partial and of due proportion.

NATURES way of getting rid oil

who make these pilgrimages belong
to an old and dying race, a race that
has outlived its purposes apparently
besides that it is a race Of hope

its surroundings and belongings the
