false key entered the school house here
Sunday night. and smashed the clock,
spilled the ink and spit tobacco juice all
over everything, wrote shameful sen-

themselves as obnoxious as possible, it is
probably the work of large boys, but
there is no clue as to who did it.

BICYCLES for the Park Police,

The advantage of bicycling, long ago
admitted, grows apace. Philadelphia
authorities last season adopted the use OF
the wheel in their park department, and
elsewhere it is a matter of record that
much time has been saved, and otherwise
almost impossible results secured by
using the wheel. Boston intends, as
usual, being at the front in all matters
pertaining tc expediting important bus j.
ness. aud the Park Commissioners of the
city have voted to adopt the bicycle for
the use of the park policemen. An order
for full equipment ofthe famous Col
umbias was placed with the Pope Manu-
featuring Company last week.

In Duplicate.
Gus de Smith came down Harlem av.

SO that it looked as if a drunken barber
had been practicing on it.
"Merciful heaven, Gusw exclaimed
Pete Amsterdam. What did you do to
the barber? You ought to have murdered
him. That was the least you could have
DONE"

Telling Trees by Electricity

Trees are felled by electricity in the
great forests Of Galicia. For cutting
comparatively soft woods the tool is in
the form Of an auger, which is mounted
on a carriage, and is moved to and fro
and revolved at the same time by small
electric motor. As the cut deepens,
wedges are inserted to prevent the rift
from closing, and when the tree is near
ly cut through an ak or handsaw is used
to finish the work. In this way trees are
felled very rapidly and with but little
labor.-London Tit-Bits.

Japan Among the Powers.

The defeat of the Chinese at
Ping Yang explains the bewild-
ering dispatches we have been
getting hitherto. The Japanese
have been making a bewildering
campaign, as bold in plan as it
h is been brilliant in execution.
At the very outset, the de-
struction of the Chinese trans
port cut off reinforcements to
TIE enemy by sea, and they have
kept their fleet moving about so
rapidly and SO mysteriously that
they have driven the opposing
fleet under cover and kept the
Chinese anxious for their home
defenses. Meantime they had
increased their armies in COrea
and had established themselves
near the Chinese frontier to cut
off communication by land.
At length having everything
prepared and the enemy already
at a disadvantage, they moved
with great celebrity and precision
against the Chineee army, in
front, flank and rear, and crushed
it by q single blow.
The whole campaign, as far as
we can estimate it from the mea-
gre information at hand, appears
NapoIeonic. It puts the japanese
in complete possession IN Corea,
and before the Chinese can send
another army against them they
will have time to set up the indie
pendent reformed government
which has been their ostensible
object, with a very good chance
of it's recognition by the outside
powers. In that event China will
i not be able to disturb it.
j Whether the end be thus shortly
attained or not, Japan has al
ready made her mark and has
emerged from Oriental obscurity
as one OF the Powers that here
after must be reckoned with,
And this means much-how nfucf
we can hardly conjecture-in tht
future politics of the world.

Industrial Matters.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 20.-The
MdnuJacturers' Record, in its re-
view of railroad and industrial
matters in the South for the
week says:
The August reports of promi-
nent railway systems in the South
show a gratifying gain in the ag
gregate over the same month of
1898 and as a group they make a
much better display than the
trunk lines, the Northwestern or
the Western groups.
For example, the earnings of
the Chesapeake & Ohio; Kansas
City, Memphis & Birmingham;
L. & N; Memphis & Charleston;
Mobile & Ohio; Nashville, Chat
tanooga & st. Louis: Norfolk &
Western, and Southern Or. & D.
and East Tenn, Va. & Ga.
reached S5.726, 487 last August,
nearly $500, ZOO more than in
August, 1898. Nine of the North
west lines showed an increase of
less than 100000 over August,
1898, while six trunk lines in the
Middle and Eastern States de-
creased over S5OO,OOO, and a
group of twenty other lines in
the Middle and Western States
Western States decreased about
5000, 600. This gain in Southern
earnings is not due to the cotton
movement, for comparatively
little has been shipped by rail as
yet. It is principally caused by
the general increase in business
in the South.
Among the new railroad enter
prises are electric roads in Geor-
gia, Kentucky, West Virginia,
Maryland and Florida, aggregat-
ing nearly go miles, and 20 mile
branch of the Gould system in
Texas.
Throughout the entire South
there is very decided revival in
industrial matters, and this is
especially noticeable in the re-
sumption of work at many con
Germs that have been idle fol
months. There is also decided
increase in the organization Oh
important manufacturing ano
| mining enterprises.

THE GOOD OF TO-DAY.

Of better days that mortals sing
When all were happy as the spring;
When none knew want or discontent
No back by selfishness was bent,
When hearts were pure and heads
were sound;
When not grumbler could be
found
If folk were wiser, better then,
Pray tell us where it was and when
For brighter days let mortals sigh,
And hope TOR fortune by and by
Prosperity to fill the Lard.
With plenty strewn on every hand
When all men shall be wise and good
Bound up in one grand brother.
But point out now some of the mer
Who are to be contented then.
'Tis in the future or the past
Ambitious man must live at last.
He looks behind or hopes before,
Despiring all his present store;
Forgets all blessings of to-day,
And follows fancy far away.
What man has not he magnifies,
And pleasure with possession dies.

Odd Fellows.

CHATTANOOGA. Tenn, Sept.
21.-Upon the resumption OF
business in the Sovereign Grand
Lodge this morning, the report
of the Committee on Patriarch's
Militant was taken up. Repre-
sentative RiXey,' of Missouri,
sought to amend the report by
making all members of the Scar
let Degree eligible for admission
into the Patriarch's Militant, but
the report was defeated.
The preamble and resolutions
from New York touching the
status of aged members whose
lodges are defunct, were reported
on and adopted.
The foreign relations Of the
Order are reported in fine condi
ton, and $500 was donated to ex
tend the work in Europe.
The report of the committee
adverse to allowing lodges the
privilege of making minimum
benefit of 81 per week for ;
limited time and to increase it tt
50 afterwards, was laid over fo,
another year.
The Judiciary Committee re
ported that the support of tn
widows and the maintenance o
the orphans of deceased Od'
Fellows is not a charity but
legal obligation, and that in th
discharge of this sacred duty
Grand Lodge has full power t
make reasonable and necessar

eign Grand Lodge, I. o. O. F.,

morning at 9 o'clock.
The report of the committee

finitely.
The law requiring a canton tax

Nicaragua AdviceS.

New ORLEANS, Sept. 20.-The
steamer John Wilson arrived this
afternoon from Bluefelds. On
board the steamer was Capt.
James Brown, agent of Oteri
Line at Bluefields, who has re-
turned to the State for short
while. Capt Brown said to a re-
porter by the steamer Gussie.
The Nicaraguans are pursuing
the even tenor of their way and
are administering the govern
ment of the reservation accord
ing to their own way of thinking.
Business in the town of Blue
fields is very dull and there does
not appear to be much chance for
revival of trade. The banana
planters are shipping nearly the
same quantity of fruit, but the
demand is not as g pod as it might
be for the season of the year.
The disturbed condition Of things
in the reservation for the past
several months has destroyed
the confidence of the foreigners
in nearly everything connected
with the country and it is useless
to expect much progress until all
danger of more internal dislup-
tions is over.
The U. S. war ship Marble
head. which has been lying off
the bluffs, has gone to Port
Dimon. She carried back the
two Americans, Sim hampton
and Captain Miltbanks, who had
been carried to the country from
Costa Rica by the British ship
Mohawk. Captain O'Neil, of the
/ Marblehead, had taken the two
men to Bluefields, with the in
5ention of seeing them tried, al
their own request, for the crimes
), which the Nicaraguan Commls
sioners have laid at their doors,
but both Maddris and Cabesas
still have supreme control of af
fairs in Rluefelds, would no
grant permission for the men tt

low them to be taken ashore.

DISTINGUISHED DEMOCRATS

lArgus Specially
RALEIGH, Sept. 20.

RALEIGH, Sept. 20.
The convention of Democratic
clubs of the State that convened
here to-day is great meeting of
representative Democrats from
all over the State.
The first session of the Con-
vention convened at II o'clock
this morning in the Academy of
Music and the spacious hall was
thronged to accommodate the large
concourse.
In addition to scores of promi-
nent Democrats from all sections
of the State, the following dis
| tinguished men from other States
are present and delivered excel
lent utterances upon Democratic
fealty to the masses, Democratic
achievements and Democratic
aggressiveness: Hon. Chancey F
Black, of Pennsylvania, Presi-
dent of the National Association
of Democratic clubs; Hon. Law
renee Gardner, Secretary of the
National Association of Demo
cratic Clubs; Hon. Chas. H. Man
sour, Assistant Comptroller of
the United States Treasury, and
others, whose names we cannot
obtain.
1t is a great source of pride to
every North Carolinian, while
vieing with one another to do
honor to their distinguished Wis
itors, that the great speech of
the occasion was made this even
ing by that peerless orator,
statesman, patriot, soldier, Dem
ocrat, and North Carolinian, Sen
ator Matt w. Ransom. AS he
swayed that vast multitude by
his matchless oratory and sub
j lime eloquence, and as we looked
out upon that sea of upturned
faces beaaning with enthusiasm
that his portrayal of Democracy
aroused, and as the mighty waves
of their spontaneous applause
rolled up again and again, it was
a convincing evidence Of the truth
of the immortal Vances dying
words. 1t was indeed 1.-The voice
of great multitude, as the sound
of many waters saying" Democ
racy is invincible, Democracy is
immortal.

TIE UNHOLY ALLIANCE.
The Pop Wing Holds Its County
Convention.

The Populist wing of the Re
publican Populist alliance of this
county held its nominating con-
ventlon this city Saturday at
which all the Populists in the
county were present, and the
crowd was by no means as large
as that which attended the Dem
ocratic primary of Goldsboro
township Friday night.
The convention was presided
over by Mr.. Marion Butler and
proceeded to nominate a half
SHELF ticket-the other half
shell to be supplied by the Re
publican wing of the unholy alli-
ance at its convention next We'd
nesday-the names on which had
previously been determined upon
by the machine, and all the con
vention had to do was ocquiesce;
and the same convention of the
Pop wing will convene again
next Thursday to acQAiesce in the
nominations to fill up the other
half shell of the ticket which the
Republican wing will make at it's
convention on Wednesday.
The nominations made yester-
day are W. G. Hollowell for
clerk of Superior Court; DIR. J.
E. Person for the Legislature;
JAS. II. Johnson for Treasurer;
DR.. J. H. Powell for Coroner.
and Elk Gov. G. H. Brogden for
township tax collector. Church
disturber" Maxwell, of Duplin
county. and one Paddison, of Pen
der.County, both Populists, were
endorsed for the State Senate,
and the Republican nominees for
the senatorial district were repu-
dated, which may lead to "con-
fusion" in the campaign.
The fattest offices in the county,
that of Register of Deeds and
Sheriff, together with one mem
Der for the Legislature, have
been scooped by the Republican
wing of the alliance, which fact
recalls the confab between Re-
publican Jno. R. Smith and Pep
ulist j. E. Person some weeks
ago, in which Person remarked:
what we want is reform, :"
whereupon "Jno. r" said: well,
Foxy you give us the offices
and we will give you the Re-
form''-the RAIDS have scooped
the fat offices, and on next We'd
nesday the Republicans will pro
ceed to fill out their half shell OF
the fusion ticket as follows,
Sam, G. Casey for sheriff; Moses
B. Farmer for Register, and Maj.
H. L. Grant for the Legislature.
| Mr.. Abbott L. Swinson intro
| duced a resolution offering the
Republicans only one candidate
on the ticket, that of superior
| Court clerk, and it was promptly
voted down, as it was not in ac
cordance with the machine
bargain, whereupon Mr.. Swinsor
retired from the convention.
There is no principle behint
this molly combination, and it
ticket will be overwhelmirgl,
defeated in November. When
is completed, and given out ca
cticio. next Thursday, we shal
have more to say about it.
