Art That Pays.

Some years ago young man came
to New York from the west with high
aspirations about becoming an artist, "

"He had been praised without stint
in his own community and led to be-
lieve that the metropolis was the proper
field in which to display his talents and
secure remunerative recognition.

| times after his locating there. He was
! as proud as Lucifer and kept a stiff up
per lip when asked how he was getting
on, but noticed that his confidence and
enthusiasm were pretty much assumed.
After awhile he dropped out of my
sight, and l saw nothing of him for
three years He was sleek and prosper
GUS looking, and 1 was glad to see that
he had evidently caught on. Remarked
that art appeared to be agreeing with
him. He colored up and looked discon-
certed for moment, and then he laugh
ed and told me his story.
"He said he had stuck to landscape
and genre work until he had no more
money to buy canvas or paint, but no
customers had ever reached him. He
was in despair when he happened to see
an advertisement Offering a prize for
the best design for wall paper. He
pawned his overcoat for few dollars
and procured some materials and went
to work on design. He submitted it
in person before it was fairly dry, and
it Immediately struck the fancy of the
advertiser, who was wall paper man.

viii sustain e45, 7ee, 900 Persons.

Have you any idea Of the number OF
persons that the United States would
sustain without iovercrowding the popu-
lation or even going beyond the limit
of density now shown by the state of
Rhode Island? The last census of the
pygmy state just gives it a population OF
5000 The area of the state in square
miles is only /, 1850. Thus we find that
there is an average of 31S persons on
every square mile of her territory. We
can best illustrate the sustaining capac-
ity of the whole of the United States
and of the other states by making some
comparisons. The state of Texas has an
area of 800, 7S0 square miles, and were
it equally as densely populated as Lit
tie Rhody" would comfortably sustain
population of SO, 523, 62S inhabitants
Ia greater number of persons than the
whole country is expected to have In
the year 1900. Scatter people all over
the whole land from theAtlantic to the
Pacific and from the gulf to the Brit
ish possessions as thicl1ly as they are
now in Rhode Island, and we would
have 945, 700, 300 inhabitants, instead
of an insignificant 90, 600, 900. In other
words, il the United States could be
peopled to their utmost sustaining ca
pacity, we could take care of nearly
of the present population OF

WHATS THE MATTEK?

If any reader of THE ARGUS
has visited the court house dur
ing this court they have doubt
less felt that something very Sc
riOus was the matter.
Probably no court since the
war has surpassed this in the
multitude that have attended and
the enormous State docket. We
had thought our people were
improving. we do not now think
they are nor lawless. We are
impressed with one thing: there
are many cases sent to court
that magistrates ought not to
permit to pass the meshes of
their court. This sending of
cases to court that are without
necessary evidence to convict is
a source of great expense to the
county. The woods are filled
with magistrates now, the effect
will be to make a record, and the
record will convince economical
people of an expensive expert
lment.
Another Objectionable feature
is the juries that are often made
up in a court room; the Sheriff
is compelled to take such as are
at land, the professional
juror" is in bis place and by his
looks and sparkling eyes says,
Here Lam, take me''.a and usually
he takes a pleasure in prolopg-
ing the verdict. Would it not
be a good idea if the courts were
to instruct the Sheriff to go out
and select the best men he could
find to make up the jury. One
trouble is that mos. men who
would make good jurors are not
willing to serve on the jury and
they ask the court to excuse
them. When one such will serve
he stands a good chance to
'stand aside.
One thing is certain. If the
October court and the January
court approach this term in ex-
pense it will deplete the county
treasury worse than freshets
that sweep the river bridges
away.
People want small taxes, but
if courts cost like this one, we
can make up minds to pay
high taxes, enlarge the jail for
increasing business, and cause
county script to equal the low
value of the days Of reconstruc-
ton. OBSERVER.

LET THE DEMAND BE PROMPTLY MET
Daily Argus, Sept. II

Daily Argus, Sept. II
At length Goldsboro's great
Tobacco Warehouse has had it's
opening. To-day witnessed the
momentous event, and the result
was a revelation to all. To our
fellow citizens it. was marvellous:
to our farmer friends it was as
founding. All day yesterday;
all night last night, and all day
to-day wagons and carts have
been rolling in from the country
for miles and miles loaded with
the golden leaf, and the most
conservative estimate of the
amount of tobacco Oh this market
to-day is $50, 900 pounds. No
such ''break" as ever been known
before in the State for any one
day. The auction sale opened
at 1876 o'clock with 100, $50
pounds on the floor, and this
was not more than a third of
what was waiting in wagons and
carts in the wings of the build
ing and in every livery stable,
warehouse and convenient shell
ter in the city. Old tobacco
warehouse men and buyers say
they have never witne. ssed sach
a scene.
The sales moved off lively and
have kept up with vigorous COM
petion all day and are still being
pushed with undated zeal at
the hour Of going to press.
The quality Of the leaf varies,
as might be expected in so large
a quantity and from such wide
spread territory Of growth, and
the prices vary in proportion.
Those who have sold on other
markets or who have been at the
opening sales Of other ware
houses throughout the country,
say that the prices paid here to-
day are right up to every thing
that could reasonably be ex~
pected.
One great drawback has been
the immense quantity-the rush
for the opening day, which is al
ways a dreaded occasion for ev-
cry new warehouse-especiall
when it is the first and only
warehouse in "a town. Another
great drawback-and this is a
vital need that should be imme>
diately NETS the absence of
"prize houses" for receiving the
leaf, and where it can be put in
merchantable condition, from the
floors of the sale warehouse. We
hope that some of our sagacious
business men who realize this
necessity will get together at
once and give Goldsboro n or
two-several prize houses at All
early day. This will insure IT,
permanent and interested pres
ence on our market of regular
buyers and the success of Colds
boro as a tobacco market.
1t is now assured that Colds
0oro will go steadily forward as a
tobacco market and grow in com
-nercial importance under the
impetus of this new avenue of
Industrial enterprise that is open
ing up so invitingly to the farms
r Of this section.
What we need is to realize the
advantages to be derived from
this industry and the RESPONSE
bility that rests upon US to meet
every requirement promptly.
The immense crowds that
thronged the city to-day show
what widespread and lively in.
terest the farmers are taking in
Goldsboro's effort to build up a
tobacco market of her own. Let
US take courage, therefore, and
go forward with the enterprise.
