he is now confined.
THERE are in the signs of the
times good reasons for hopeful
ness and courage. The present
year has been marked by labor
disturbances of exceptional gray
ity, and the spirit of obstinacy
and bitterness manifested by
both labor and capital is
practically unprecedented. The
loss to both employer and en-
ploye, to say nothing of the dam
age done to the intrests of the
country amount to many millions
Of dollars. The probability is
that the worst is over and that
business has begun a course of
improvement that will be steady
and continuous.
THE next great popular
event in the pleasure line
hereabouts is the excursion to
Asheville under the manage
ment of Mr.. r. E. Pipkin,
who has already an estab-
lished reputation and is noted as
a most successful excursion man
ager. He will start for the beauti-
full mountain city on the morning
of July "a, and the fare for the
round trip has been fixed at the
remarkably low price of $3.50.
The best order and care will be
maintained and all who desire to
visit the grandest scenery in the
world will never get a better OPP
pOrtunity.
IT'S all over-that is the race
between the three year old STAN
dard-breds of DR.. NJ. E. Robinson
and Mr.. M. L. Lee, and the lat
ter won the race by considerable
distance. It was trotted yester-
day afternoon at 6 o'clock, each
gentleman doing his own driving,
and in the presence of a vast as
semblage of our citizens, and
everybody enjoyed the friendly
and spirited rivalry. Both horses
are graceful movers and trotted
in good style. They will do
better next time. They need
training. That's all.
The property of the Ne,os and
Observer Co., of Raleigh, passed
into the hands of a receiver
Thursday. The application was
made by the r. F. Morris & Son
Manufacturing Co., of Durham,
and Judge Whitaker appointed
William G. Holman, of Raleigh,
to take the property in hand and
continue the publication until the
day of sale, which has been set
for July 10th. The News ana
Observer is one of the best daily
papers in the State, a staunch
advocate Of Democracy, and has
always been a welcome visitor to
this office. The ARGUS regrets
very much to hear of the as
signment, and hopes that its
publication will not be discon-
tinued.
IT is with peculiar pride and
high satisfaction that we chrOn-
icle the signal distinction that
has just been conferred upon our
townsman Mr.. Geo. W. Dewey,
who has been called to the i'm
portant and responsible position
of Southern Manager of the
great Caledonian Fire Insurance
company, with headquarters in
New York. The salary connected
with this position runs up in the
neighborhood of ten thousand
dollars a year; and in addition to
this handsome stipend Mr. Dewey
can enjoy the equal satisfaction
of knowing that his promotion
is the result of a due recognition
of his personal merit. Our hearty
congratulations, George, and
success to you always.
THE Monroe correspondent OF
the Charlotte Observer, in its is
sue Of yesterday, 1gives the fol
loving item which will be of in
terest to ARGUS readers here in
Goldsboro, where the talent
ed young minister referred to
has many warm friends Last
evening the Baptists here held
a church conference and unan-
imously agreed in calling Rev.
H. G. Moore, Of Winston, to be
come their pastor. He spent q
few days here last week anc
preached two excellent sermons
Sunday and delighted the con
gregation SO much that they de.
sire him to succeed Rev. NJ. A
Adams, who recnctly accepted {
call to Reidsville. He will il
;, all probability accept"
IT may be a good thing for Franc
that the murderer of the Presiden
l was an Italian. The fact affords
safety-valve for national feeling
though to the undeserved discomfort
j., of all resident Italians. It must b
recalled that the only important at
| tempt at political assassination il
France within the memory of thos
: now living if we exclude the will,
, acts ofthe Commune, was also mad
, by Italians. Orsini and his com
comrade, who fired the bombs at Ma
+ poleon ILL.,, were forerunners of tn
: more recent dynamiteurs. Orsin
was an italian revolutionist, who re
garded Napoleon as an obstacle t
Italians liberty. Santo seems to be
revolutionist on general principles
without ven patriotic fervor for hi
excuses, one of those universe
enemies of mankind whose national
ity need not be considered.
