OUR HOME TALENT.

The presentation Of 1.-The
Deacon" at the Messenger Opera
House Monday evening by a
complement of home talent was
greeted by a large and elite
audience who, from the rising of
the curtain to the closing act,
were charmed beyond expression
not only by the clean, crisp, run
of the play, the humorous by
plays and ridiculous situations,
but also by the absolutely per
feet manner in which the mem
bers of the company sustained
their respective parts. A re-
gular, "old-time." regulation
theatrical company could not
have done better-and, in fact,
our ''home TALENT in this in
stance left the best of travelling
companies that come this way in
the shade, and a very dense
shade at that. The wonder of
the audience grew from the open
ing to the conclusion that our
own folks could do so we'll; but
IN this instance as on all other
occasions, Goldsboro talent
showed itself to be equal to any
emergency. Where each indi-
vidual member did so well-did
perfectly, it would be tedious to
particularize.
The following was the cast of
characters
Deacon Thornton, Mrs. Thornton's
b~rother-in-law, with a passion for
lemonade with a stick in tit. r.
Robinson.
George Graef, Mrs. Thornton's neph-
ew-H. B. Parker.
George Darrah, alias Matt Wheeler
L. W. Humphrey.
james Reed, a friend of Darrah's-
Parson Brownlow-J. G. Sizer.
PEDRO, an organ grinder-Lyndon
Humphrey.
Pete, Mrs. Thornton's servant-G. G..
Royal.
Billy. the Deacon's boy-Frederick
Mcdonald.
Mrs. Thornton-Miss Winnie Hicks. !
Helen, her daughter-Miss Barbara Is
Miss Amelia Fawcett, Mrs. Thornton,s
maiden sister-Miss Hattie Spier.
Mrs. Darrah, George Darrah's wife
Miss Caddie Fulghum.
Nellie her child-Miss Selene Dortch.
Daisy. Mrs. Thornton's servant-Miss
Julia Castex.
It is to be hoped that with
such fattering manifestations of
what our young people are ca
pable of accomplishing as at
tended the presentation of 1.-THE
Deacon they will oftener give
the public the benefit of their
histrionic talent,

Shot Dead.

BALTIMORE, June 11.-There
was an exciting scene in an ice
cream saloon on Mosher street
this morning, resulting in the
death Of VIM. Green. Francis
T. Bowers is locked up at the

between the men, ending with
the demand that Green marry
the girl. Upon his refusal Bow

LET THEM AT IT.

Now that Mr.. Cleveland has
promoted Olney to Secretary of
State and called in a new man
for encouragement, there is an
opportunity for the administra-
ton to redeem it's pledges to the
people, in the matter Of abolish
ing the oppressive and growing
trust.
Mr.. Olney, a great and noted
corporation lawyer was in sym
pathy with trusts, and could not,
without stultifying himself, pro-
ceed against them as was strong
ly promised in the Democratic
platform. Being big and honest
and bralny, apart from a perso-
nal friend of the president, it
would not have done to deposed
Olney, and thus the trusts have
had full sway, unmolested and
undisturbed.
Now that Judge Harmon, al
though a corporation lawyer,
has accepted the position of
and the
President knowing the demands
OF the people concerning the
regulation of trusts, The ARGUS
hopefully predicts that a new
programme will be adopted and
the defiant attituoe of the trusts.
feeling secure under Olney, will
be materially changed.
The American people want
trusts regulatiyed only. They
do not want them abolished, but
sense and common JUS
ticessuggests and urge that CEN
rallied capital has too long held
sway.

his august mother by visiting
the Whitsuntide exhibition Of

that the Princes action melted
the Queen to send him a long

AS TO A CHI

Since assuming the entire
management of the ARGUS
have consulted my own inter
tests and the interests of the
town and the towns people. ]
believe in absolute business
methods. To run a morning daily
here, is a proposition which re-
turns to the business Office will
not justify. In fact I contem-
plated the discontinuance of the
morning paper Or rather a daily
paper, and thought that a semi
weekly would perhaps answer
and meet all the demands. But
upon consultation with several
business men who personally
came to me with a view of So
Letting me not to discontinue
the daily publication, I have con-
|cluded that a live, crisp and
|sprightly evening paper will bet
ter meet the wants, needs and
demands of this people. So be,
ginning tomorrow, June -, the
ARGUS will appear each evening
at 5 o'clock, and will contain be-
sides the news summary of the
worlds doings, a brief resume of
the local happenings of the city.
The price will be reduced to
$500 year, payable quarterly
in advance, or 40 cts. per month,
and I hope and believe that at
this price, an evening paper.
will give the.ARGUs an increased
support, and assure it's perma-
nency beyond a doubt. The
town cannot afford to allow it's
paper to suspend. and
meeting the citizens as I do with
a cut in price, to $500 a year,
I am confident the list will be
increased and thus give better
inducements to advertisers.
With the public spirit which
there is in Goldsboro it is IN
necessary for ne to dwell upon
the necessity of a liberal support
to a live daily, such as I propose
conducting.
With this brief announcement
which will put at rest all other
rumors, l respectfully solicit a
continuance of past patronage
and also request all interested in
the towns development and well
fare to call and enroll their
names on the subscription list, !
and also to come in and be num-
.ered among my advertising
patrons.
The weekly edition, now in.
;reasing it's circulation, will still
remain the advertising medium

Proposed New Cotton Factory
Shall we Have it?

U
The fact that we are in the
midst of hard times, and scarcity
money, is no sufficient plea tha-
we cannot erect the factory anC
put the wheels in motion. In
point of fact this condition of af-
fairs is a strong reason why the
factory should be built. The
day Of experiment has long since
passed as to the desirability OF
cotton factories as a direct
paying enterprise to those who
invest their funds in them, and
Indirectly they are of manifold
advantage to the community at
large. The South has ever
been almost exclusively an agri-
cultural section, and we are poor
while our Northern neighbors
have been chiefly a manufacture
ing people; and they are rich.
This statement carries it's own
convincing argument in favor of
factories. We haye object les
sons nearer home in our own
section that impress the truth
of the statement that a manufac-
turing community is a prosper
Gus community. The town that is
dependent for it's commercial
prosperity upon the agricultural
community surrounding it
can never be other than a small
country town, dragging it's
slow length along" We must
have within our gates the condi,
tons of existence, growth and
development of our immediate sur
roundings, and our enlargement
thus secured will attract a wild
ening circle of trade from farm
and Preside, and an era of pros
perry will dawn upon US hitherto
unknown.
AT Henrietta, in the lower part
of Rutherford county there is a
large cotton factory and a popu-
lation of 2, 100 people. One mile
distant a still larger factory is
being erected, and the two towns
will be united in one municipal
ity and it is confidently predicted
that in less than five years there
Will be a populat ion Of five
thousand people. And yet seven
years ago a primeyal forest oc-
cupied the site Of Henrietta.
More than this: the most pros
porous counties aud towns of
North and South Carolina to-day
are those where the hum of ma
chinery is heard and the poor
are furnished renumera1ive en-
pigment. A volume. might be
written on the subject, but l
will not further trespass on your
columns, but to say-Let every
man and women in our commun-
ity, who can spare SO cents per
week take one or more shares in
the Alma Cotton Factory. The
investment will pay better than
Savings bank. Doubtless a
number of our county friends
would invest if the subject is
properly presented to them, for
they are none the less interested
than the citizens of the town. A
home demand for their cotton
will be made, and a better mar
ket for their products of the
farm, dairy and poultry yard
would be furnished.
Then let everybody who can,, aid,
little come to the res
cue, and soon there will he not
only one, but two, and in the flu
ture even more cotton factories
in our community to consume
the raw material of our fields and
furnish employment and make
self supporting the poor in our
midst.

Oxford Ledger: It is said that
% North Carolina horses will be

has made such a splendid repu-
tation as a Judge in the 18th dis
trict, has completed the circuit
and is at home where he will re-

proved himself to be the most
progressive Judge that has pres
sided over the courts of the 18th

On Monday, Mr.. AL Rem
was hauling some scantling to

James Rem, Jr., son of Chief

the mules became frightened and
ran away, throwing the occu-

lumber on them. Jimmie Rem
was badly hurt, receiving a deep
cut on one of his legs and one
side of his face was bruiSedto a
considerable extent. Nearly the.
whole load fell upon him, but.
fortunately some of the scantling
in falling out crossed each
other. which no doubt saved the
little fellows life.
