THE A. & N. G.. r. R. Com
pany has declared another 2 per
cent. dividend, payable on and
after October LIST. This is the
| third annual dividend the road
has declared, successfully, under
the sagacious and prudent ad-
ministration of it's aggressive
president Mr.. w. S. Chadwick,
of Beaufort, who was first adj
vanced to that position by the
late lamented Gov. Fowl, re-
tanned by Gov. Holt, and reap
pointed by Gov. Carr,
Mr.. Julius E. Jackson, for
merly of Mingo township, Samp-
son county, but now engaged in
business in Valdosta, Ca, was
in the city yesterday with
his wife and little boy, re-
turning from a sojourn at More
head. They have been out here
on a visit to his venerable par
ents at the old homestead, where
he has not been before in ten
years. He is prospecting in his
Georgia home, but he says that
there is no place like the Old
North State.
THERE was a goodly number
of farmers in the city yesterday
from all sections Of the county.
and every one of them reported
good crops and promising har-
vests in the fall, and Astounding
contentment among the people.
What a great and:priceless bless
ing it is after all that the yield
of mother earth to the tickling
of the plowshare and the sweat
of her toiling sons is not affected
by politics. Hog and hominy
and home bring harmony to
thankful hearts, and good gov
eminent is consequent.
THE readers of The ARGUS will
learn with inexpressible sorrow
of the death of DIR. r. E. Cox,
which occurred at his home at
Fremont, on yesterday morning
at 6.45 o'clock. His funeral will
take place this afternoon. DIR.
Cox was about fifty years old. He
leaves a father and mother and
wife and six children. He was a
man of sterling character, a ply
stefan of great skill, and a citi-
zen whose up%rightness gained
him the confidence of all and the
affections of many. His death is
a great loss to his section and a
sorrow to all who knew him.
PRESIDENT Cleveland in his
recent letter laid out his strength
on the argument in favor of
carrying out the Democratic
promises in regard to free raw
materials. His words on this
head have all the old Cleveland
ring, and appeal powerfully to
the people, whether Congress
heeds them or not. To make
wool free and put protective du-
ties on coal and iron ore he
rightly says would be an "out-
rageous discrimination and vic.
lation of principle" These strong
words will fire the Democratic
heart and stir up indignation
against the few Democratic SEN
ators who are trying by a combi-
nation with the Republicans, tC
make the Democratic party VIC
i, late its campaign pledges.
