Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1894-08-16

Armory Hall Thursday night,
and the largely attended and
brilliant german last night, are
said by all who attended to be
equal to any social event of the
kind Goldsboro has ever known.
The young ladies and gentlemen
in dancing attendance-both Wis
itors and home folks-looked
their best, and the chaperones
and spectators lent enfivenment
to the enjoyable occasion. The
splendid Raleigh band furnished
the dance music.
A VISIT yesterday to the mann
mott, triple store of Messrs. I'll.
We'll & Bros, revealed an array
of large goods boxes and a bevy
of clerks busy handling dry
! goods. shoes, clothing, &c. At
first sight we thought they were
receiving and unpacking goods,
but upon closer observation and
' consequent enquiry we found
that the firm were shipping out
! goods to wholesale customers in
a number of surrounding towns,
to fill orders recently taken by
their travelling salesman, Capt.
w. II. Hollowell. This old and
reliable firm have built up here
in Goldsboro u wholesale trade
that reaches even beyond the
borders of our State in every di-
rection, and which is increasing
in volume constantly. as the mer-
chants of other places come to
realize that they can buy from
this firm entire stocks of goods,
of every description, at even
better figures than they can make
the same purchases at the
! North-besides a great saw
ing in freight. We go forward.
ONE of the most brilliant So
cial events of the summer was
held Thursday night in the Ar
mory hall of the Goldsboro Rifles
for the benefit of the Bentons-
vile Monumental fund. A good
crowd of ladies and gentlemen
participated in a very brilliant
german led by Mr. NJ. r. Howard,
tof Newbern, with Miss Rena Bur
well, of Raleigh. The young
people were chaperoned by Mr..
and Mrs. G. w. Granger.

THE commission, composed of
Carroll D. Wright, John D..
Herman and Nicholas E. Worth
ington. appointed by the Presi-
dent under the provisions of the
O'Neil arbitration law to investi-
gate the late Pullman strike, be-
gan it's work Wednesday. The
plan outlined by the commission
is to hear the labor leaders first,
and in accordance with this de-
termination the first witness
examined was Vice-President
Howard. of the American Rail
way Union. It is understood that
Debs and Sovereign and any
other labor leaders who care
to testify will be given a hearing
in due order, after which the
railway officials will be heard
Perhaps some business men
whose ordinary transactions
were brought to a standstill by
the senseless boycott will be
asked to tell what they know
about the effect of the striking
of men who have no grievance
against their employers. Oh
course, the commission have nc
power to decide things; they car
only hear testimony and report
to Congress; but the investi
cation may furnish the public
some interesting inside infor
nation about the ordering o.
fstrikes and boycotts by labor
leaders who are we'll paid for do
ing everything but work.
