NEW YORK. Oct. 5.-Brad-
streets tomorrow, October 9th,
will say; While no radical change
has appeared this week, there
are features of the situation
pointing to continued progress
in the direction of Improvement.
This is true of the country at
large. From the South the most
favorable report comes from
Jacksonville, where wholesale
trade is good and retail trade i'm.
proving. Merchandise is moving
satisfactorily from Savannah,
and from Charleston and Chat
tanooga. Nashville finds encour.
agement in increased bank clear,
ings, although collections have
been disappointing. Business has
been fair at Memphis in dry
goods, shoes and clothing, anG
at Atlanta the volume of trade
has increased ten per cent. in
most leading lines. Improvement
is also shown at Augusta and the
volume of sales of groceries anc
hardware from New Orleans has
increased. Galveston and Bir
mingham reports no changes.

Suit i'll Equity.

WASHINGTON, October 6,-The
request that the recent sale OF
the r. & D. r. r. to the South
ern Railway company be set
aside was argued in Equity
Court No. l to-day be-
fore Justice Cox. This resulted
from the petition of Edward
German, his father, who Was
killed by q train accident in
North Carolina, in 1890. Mr..
German sued for damages and
recovered S14, 500 for the death
Of his father. The road had in
the meanwhile passed into other
hands, and nothing remained to
satisfy the judgment. Mr.. Cor
man contended that the sale hao
been confirmed by the courts
without proper notice.
Mr.. A. S. Worthington ap
peared for Mr.. German and ar
gued that. the sale in equity
should be declared void because
certain creditors were not give1
an opportunity TO present ano
collect their claims on account o-
the hasty proceedings. Thi:
was opposed on the part of Mr.
Francis L. Stetson, of New
York, the lawyer of the South
railway company, and Gen. VIM
H. Payne, of Warrenton, Va
The case was submitted to Judg
Cox, who reserved his opinion

that men amaSs can be made a.
blessing or a curse, according to
the manner in which they are
used. Money is not the end, it
is only the means of usefulness.
Selfish Indulgence or niggardlyI
boarding, or eXtravagant gratiti-
cation debase the character and
make wealth a menace to the
community. The greatness of
nation is sapped by luxury. His
tory is eloquent and convincing
in illustration of this fast, The
prosperous man, if he is a good
citizen, will diffuse through the
community the blessings he has
|received: every philanthropic
work will -ael the touch of his
generous cooperation: every in
dustrial enterprise will have the
nucleus Of his encouragement
and financial support,
Goldsboro is young yet; and
only as she grows and prospers
can the territory around her go
forward, We must not, therefore,
expect an early or speedy accom-
plishment Of the greatest results
desired. But the people Of Colds
boro should do What they can to
help on the good work, by hold
ing up lofty ideals to the young,
by inspiring them to be energetic
and to do good, and be good, in
their day and generation, and to
find their highest happiness in
the exercise of the faculties God
has given them in the promotion
of good government, in the
| furtherance of intellectual and
industrial development and in
loving service to their fellow
men.
These are somewhat of the les
sons THE ARGUS has sought tC
lpromulgate in this community,
and among its readers in general
for the ten years that mark its
existence. 1t has no regrets for
the past; it has no higher purpose

done, maintaining the integrity

is buoyant with hope for itself,
for Goldsboro, for North Caro-

ELIZABETH, CIT

ELIZABETH, O1I OCb. :.
The Democratic party of Cam
den held their primaries on last
Saturday. The nominations for
candidates for the Legislature
and for county offices we're made
by vote at the polls. The candi-
dates for the Legislature were c..
F. Ferebee and Samuel Gregory.
He is a supporter of Jarvis for
the Senate.
Your correspondent attended
the voting precinct at Shiloh
and was there throughout the
day There he ascartained with
absolute certainty that the Pop
ulist party has ceased to ex-
ist in that county. At this pre-
cinct in the lastPresidential cleo
ton the vote was as follows:
138 Democrats, 40 Republicans
and 20 Populists. There were OF
the Populists ten or twelve for
mer Republican, These are safely
back in the Republican party,
whilst many of the Democrat
Pops have returned to the Demo
cratic pan ty.
Fusion did not fuse the Demo
cratic Pops. 1t completely an
nihiliated the Populist party in
Camden for all time Daniel
Squires, the fusion candidate fo1
the Legislature, will not get a
vote from the former Populist OF
that county.
Mr.. Branch spoke at Shiloh
some days ago to q large number
Of people and the universal senti
ment there is, that this speech
was made with telling effect
doing great good for the party
The party is united upon him
and with enthusiasm.

THE LOVE KNOT.

Tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied her raven ringlets in,
But not alone in her silken snare
Did she catch her lovely floating
hair;
For, tying her bonnet under her
chin,
She tied young mans heart with
They were strolling together up the
hill,
When the winds came blowing merry
and chill;
And it blew the curls frolicsome
All over the happy, peach-colored
face.
Till scolding and laughing, she tied
them in
Under her beautiful dimpled chin.
o western wind, do you think it was
fa1r
To play such tricks with her floating
hair?
TO gladly, gleefully do your best
To blow her against the young mans
breast,
Where he had gladly folded her in,
And kissed her mouth and dimpled
chin?
Q Ellery Vane, you little thought
An hour ago, when you besought
This country lass to walk with you,
After the sun had dried the dew,
What terrible danger you'd be in
AS she tied her bonnet under her
chin.

New York 5 Democracy.

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-An init
mate friend of Senator David B.
Hill, in discussing the apparent
lethargy in Democratic circles,
explains the situation thus:
Up to noon today it was by no
means settled that either Senator
Hill or Congressman Lockwood
would accept the nominations
the State convention had con-
ferred upon them. Each was
willing to yield to some other
Democrat if the right man was
chosen. At no time since the
Convention adjourned has either
one of these candidates ex-
pressed Willingness to accept the
nomination, and at all times they
were perfectly willing to retire
in favor of Democrat who
would conciliate and unite the
party. Not till to-day, when
when Judge Gaynor declined the
honor Senator Hill wished to
impose upon him, of taking the
nomination for Governor, was it
determined that Hill would lead
the ticket. Had Gaynor accepted,
Hill would have retired and
taken the stump for him and
the rest of the ticket.
Senator Hills first speech in
the campaign will be made at
Utica, October 10Th, and his last
November 3 at Elmira, where,
for the last thirteen years he
has annually wound up the cam
paign.
BROOKLYN, N. Y, Oct. g.
VIM. ]. Gaynor this evening
wrote a letter to the Hon. J. w
Hinckley, Chairman of the Dem
ocratic State Committee, declin
ing the nomination conferred
upon him by the Democratic
party to run on their ticket fol
Judge of the Court of Appeals.
In his letter Mr.. Gaynor says

signed for not wishing to become

be seen by recurring to them
and l am therefore constrained t.
decline the nomination for Judg
of the Court of Appeals, a
grateful as I feel for it, and a
much as | should like to hold ;
place of so much usefulness.
If l thought that the with
drawal Of my name would injur

try to see some way to allow it t
remain, for his recent develop
ment in the National Senat

lie men Of his day. Between hi1
and his opponent he should, an

HER IRISH BLUE EYES.

Sweet Maggie Magin, she lives on a
hill,
Her fathers farm is next to mine;
| met her oft when | drove to the
mill,
Her hair was like gold in the
bright sunshine.
Away from her now in a foreign land,
Where many a maiden ones con-
stancY tries,
l long for Il touch of hes small
friendly hand,
| sigh for glance of her Irish blue
eyes.
Sweet Maggie MagiIl, when coming
away,
[ ask her to promise my bride she
will be;
She gives me her word, what more
could she say?
That when | come buck she will
marry me.
My heart to her keeping l fondly
surrender,
She of all lassies the treasure and
prize;
Ah. would she were here, so gracious
and tender!
Oh, for one glance of her Irish blue
eyes.

Halifax County.

WELDON, N. c., Oct. 5--The
Republicans held their Conven-
ton yesterday in Halifax. They
did not endorse the Third party
ticket. They nominated for the
Senate one Harris (colored), of
Littletown, for Register; A. p
Robinson (colored) for Clerk
Superior Court; John T. Greg
ory, present incumbent, who
withdrew from the party forty
two years ago. For Treasurer,
they endorsed, the Democrats

not nominate any candidate for

Seventy per cent. Of the peO-
pie in North Carolina are farmers.
They pay less than one third Of
the taxes in the State. That's
what the Democratic party does
for the farmers.
Again: The farmers do not di-
rectly pay one cent for the eXecu-
tive, legislative and judicial de
partment of our State govern
ment. All their taxes go for
the support of schools and for
pensions for the old soldiers.
The following shows the cost of
these three branches:
The Executive Department, s34, 169. So
The Judicial Department, 60, 7l299
The General Assembly, 5,976.9S
Total Cost, S160. S57. 50
OF course this does not include
all the cost, but pays all salaries
of our public officials. Last year
there was collected in special,
privilege and corporation taxes,
from railroads, express compan-
les, insurance companies, banks,
seal tax and fees, S151, $50
almost enough to pay the above
necessary expenses of State gov
ernment.
There are many other reasons
why the thoughtful farmers in
North Carolina will repudiate the
fusion, but these reasons are suf-
ficent to-day.
It is such facts and figures that
destroy the prospects Of fusion,
and keep the industrious and
thoughtful farmers in the ranks
of their own party, and prevent
them following the false gods
which professional office seeking
farmers set up for them to Wor
ship. .-RaIeigh NeaOs- Observer.

Oh IN Ex. Com. L. L.

Respectfully,
w. G.. HOLLOWELL,
Chm Ex. Com. Il. T.
If the Populist leaders are not
afraid Of q joint discussion, why
do they not come out like men
and advocate the principles of
then, darty in the presence Of
all the people, when both sides
may be heard at the same time?
But they prefer to sneak around
and make statements and argu-
ments whereby the people may
be IN isled and where no reply
can he made which would show
their. falsity. A great party with
principles and record which
could be defended would seek
! and enjoy public and open dis
| cussiCn, in which its opponents
would share a part, and would
gain the confidence and support
of the people, but no party that
loves the shade and avoids just
discussion can ever haYe the con
fdence of the people of North
Carolina.
Mr.. Hollowell is wise in his
day and generation. We com
mend his discretion. The fusion
ticket would poll a paltering
vote if the whole people could
see and realize, as they would by
a Joint discussion, the utter aban-
donment of principle of which
! their leaders have been guilty in
/ their vain attempt to capture
few offices for themselves, at the
teXpense of the rank and file of
the parties which have trusted
them. They are seeing it now
| every day, and scores of honest
| Populists are turning away from
| the fusion fraud, heart sick and
Disguised at the treachery of
/ their leaders. The truth cannot
be kept from the people, no mat
ter what dark lantern and under
ground methods Mr.. Hollowell
and his committee may resort to,
and on election day they will
regret that they ever heard the
word fusion in the confusion and
shame which will then overtake
them.
I The poor excuse offered by
Mr.. Hollowen falls to the ground
Of it's own weight.
i We ask have you any princi-
| pies which you are not ashamed
to advocate in the open air, where
they can be justly discussed? and
his reply is, we can't discuss be-
cause you didn't appoint us any
poll holders. If the people should,
as they will, fail to elect Mr..
Hollowell and his co-candidates,
we presume on the same reason
: ing they would never feel that
they could ever again address
: the dear people and attempt to
mislead and deceive them, be-
cause the people failed to recog-
die them. Are they ashamed or
afraid to meet the people? If
they were not they would jump
at the chance at public discussion
and not hide themselves behind
a pretended excuse. But enough,
the people are not fools and they
know that no party in Wayne
county for many years has ever
evaded joint discussion, and
they will understand, in spite of
tiimsy excuses, that fusion will
not bear the sunlight.
/ You will not come meet the
t light that your deeds may be re-
: proved, because you love dark
ness rather than light, because
your deeds are evil.'

about the "odious' election laws
of North Carolina. Simmons
showed that he (Butler) had been
a member of the Legislature
since those laws were in vogue
and asked him Why he had not
then introduced some bill, or res
olution or even made a speech in
that body against these laws
which he is now denouncing?
Butler was dunn as an oyster.
Democracy held her own glori-
ously through her peerless cham
pion Simmons, and from the way
the Populists listened to him and
were impressed by the words and
demeanor of the two speakers in
contrast, we may surely expect
good results in November.

Why Fusion Won't Fuse.
A week or so ago we quoted
the wise reasons given by honest
Ransom Gulley, a sensible and
practical farmer, why he would
remain true to the Democratic
party, and give deaf ear to the
Populists Yesterday we gave
the reasons why intelligent neg
roes wouldn't support the fusion

reasons to-day why hundreds OF
good. honest farmers in North
Carolina will now follow THEN
visionary leaders iuto the land OF
nowhere.
When the Republicans were in
power in North Carolina, virtu
ally all the taxation was levied on
real estate. Personal property
paid little; corporations paid
nothing. Under Democratic rule,
there has come a change. Tax
alton has been reduced from sc
cents on the S1O0 to % cents OF
the 800.
The total taxes collected il
North Carolina last year was 81,
395, 999.73. This amount Was

A Solid Foundation.

WASHINGTON, October 3.-The
recent heavy storm on the At
lantic coast demonstrated the
gratifying fact that stable bot
tom has been found off Diamond
Shoals, Cape Hatteras, N. @.
Some time ago on borings made
by the tight house board of the
treasury, temporary pilings were
driven down at this point. The
recent storm did not bulge them
and if suchtemporary work can
withstand such a furious storm,
the belief is entertained that per-
manent piles will remain secure,
by means of which a solid foun-
dation can be made upon which

so badly needed on this danger

DEAR SIR
Yours requesting ii joint canvass re

your party would so treat US as to
warrant us in the belief that we had a
gallant foe to meet. And to such a foe
it would afford me pleasure in extend
ing to its candidates an invitation for
Joint discussions of the issues of the

uals as we'll as by the official acts Of
Democratic members of the Board of
commissioners, that the party that ]
have the honor to speak for in this
county is not recognized as Il political
party. Therefore if you wish Il joint
discussion you had hettor confer with
the Democratic anneX-the straight

think are alone entitled to recognition
