The Exhibit of Misunderstanding Machine
! Next Door to the Post Office: 1t is a
Marvel of Beauty and a Joy Forever.
The weather has been so very
rainy and altogether disagree
able of late that we presume
the ladies of our city have hardly
thought it worth the candle"
! to visit the beautiful display in
the Singer Sewing Machine office,
next door to the post office, men
ton of which was made in THE
ARGUS several days ago; but the
weather promises TO be fair this
week and the ladies' will enioy
the exhibit the more by reason
of the fine weather, and none
should fail to visit the exhibit.
for its like has never before been
seen in Goldsboro.
Not only are the articles on
display of rare design, exquisite
beauty and marvellous handiwork,
but the arrangement of the ex-
hibit is most pleasing indeed,
and shows that the hand of
master genius and the eye of a
born artist have been at work
here.
There are curtains-and such
curtains; curtains of the most
delicate fabrics, in Roman work;
the famous Worlds Fair Prize
curtains, the Identical curtains
that so many thousands of visit
Ors to that great exposition
gazed upon in enchanted wonder
ment, and which were awarded
the prize: there are massive
mail cloth curtains worked in
rope silk; then there are soft
black Brussels net curtains
worked with Chinese magnolias
and swallows in fight so perfect
that all but life is there, and
which the Japanese might envy.
In other lines of work-in
fact, in every line of house dec

specimens of the most beautiful
workmanship abound on every
hand. While in the realm Of
experimental genius there are
works that surpass oil paintings
in delicate shadings, soft expires
slons and in the perfect forging
OF the handwriting Of nature:
chief among these are a maginti-
cent dog head" Hector copied
from Landseer's famous paint

thing we have been writing
about-is done in silk stitch on
the Singer Sewing Machine.
The exhibit is IN charge of
Mrs. M. A. Anderson, from the
central Office in Richmond, and
who does the work on the ma
chine right before your eyes and
can reproduce almost any article
of the exhibit. She is most graci-
Gus in answering all questions,
not only of the loquacious news
paper man, but of all visitors.
The display will remain open
for the current week, and the
ladies are especially invited, and
Mrs. Anderson will take pleasure
in giving instructions free to all
ladies' having or desiring to buy
a Singer machine.

S13O, 900 interest on the State
debt. The receipts on the 1862, :
900, 900 of property are figured at
1915, 900, but it is believed that
the new assessment will show a
depreciation in value Of 20 or 25
per cent. This will bring the
receipts on property down to
$3.50, 600. Included in this is the
$3.50, 900 in the State treasury.
This depreciation will, it is be
lieved, make the amount for the
school tax and the general tax
about the same as heretofore not
withstanding the increased rate.

DOWN ON THE NEGRO.

Several large hotels in New
York and Chicago which have
hitherto employed negro walters
and servants have discharged
them and filled their places with
white men.
Had such thing been done in
this section it would have been
proclaimed as a Southern out
rage by that element in the
North which either does not un-
derstand the race question in the
South or persists in lying alb
| it.
In nearly every Southern hotel
negroes only are employed as SER
wants and thousands of them are
thus enabled to earn a good liv-
ing. Still the negroes employed
IN hotels represent only a small
per cent. of the negroes who are
engaged in gainful occupations
in the South. They are employed
in almost every branch of indus
try. They are carpenters, brick
layers, stone masons and me-
chanics.
It would be hard to muster a
corporal's guard Of negroes who
are similarly engaged in the
cities OF the North, though there
are many thousands Of negroes
IN those cities.
The trades are closed against
them and service in hotels has
been one of the few means of
honest livelihood left the negro
in the north.
The recent action of some of
the largest hotels in that section
indicates that the time is fast
coming when the North will no
longer consider negroes fit to be
hotel servants.
The negro agitators of race
strife in the South arr dangerous
only because Of the ignorance of
those to whom they appeal.
1t the masses of our negroes
knew the facts they would thank
God that they live in the South
and would be quite convinced
that they have faircr treatment
anu better opportunities here
than they could find anywhere
else in the world.
What the negro in the South
needs most to learn is to stay in
the South, think for himself and
vote the Democratic ticket.
The late Fusion combine in
North Carolina between the
Republicans and Populists should
teach the negro, that so far as
political emolument goes he is
mot in it at all, save in minor
capacities, political hewers of
wood and drawers of water, while
his white political brothers in
the Fusion combine, that foisted
themselves into power on his
vote, both Reps and Pops, have
scooped all the fat offices in
sight.
The Democratic party in North
Carolina has given to the negro,
through legislation, good schools,
wholesome laws, asylums for the
care of their deaf, dumb, blind
and imbecile, and guaranteed to
them, as to the whites, the same
protection, the same life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness.
The negro should at this time
seriously study the situation and
trend Of sentiment as to his race
IN the Republican North and in
the Democratic South, and give
to that party his vote which is
composed of the people who are
his best friends-the Southern
Democracy.

THE REVENUE ACT.
The Rate of Taxation Increased Four

The Rate of Taxation Increased Four
Cents ON Every 500.
AS finally adopted the Revenue
Act makes the State tax "a cents
instead of % cents, as fixed by
the last General Assembly. The
school tax is 18 cents; it was 16
cents in 1893'94. The pension
tax is 81 cents, the same as
heretofore. The total is 454
cents on every 800 value of real
and personal property in the
State. It was 415 cents in 1892
'94, and 43 cents in 1891 -'92.
Expenditures for the next two
years are estimated at 1895, 900,
or some $75, 900 more than for
1898 '94. This includes not only
appropriations made by the Gen
eral Assembly, but the expenses

Without doubt w. w. Taylor. the de-

has been within this vicinity. Several
witnesses reported late last night that
a man answering his description had
been seen twenty miles north Of this
city, near his old home. Close investi-

that he was undoubtedly here. but has
since departed. one Of his relatives
positively affirms that Taylor is in this

receive the reward offered for the APP

UN M ASKING.
Protectionist Parti~ans showing Their
Hand In the Senate.


The recent appearance of solid re-
publican vote in the senate for the
sugar trust-the unanimous republican
vote against the proposed removal of
the trusts differential protective sub
>idy Of rs Of cent and of the very
harmful discriminating duty of 40 of
a cent on sugar from Germany-was at
first rather diseoncer.ing to the lead
ing journals Of the party. which had
been dcnouncing the trust and urging
that both of these duties should be re-
pealed. But they quickly regained
their partisan self-possession. and
while some have framed ingenious de-
fen>es for the sugar trust senator's,
Others rely upon the doctrine that the
republicans in the senate can do no
wrong.
All this would be amusing il the ac-
ton which these journals now com
mend had not confirmed the trusts
power 10 collect from the consumers Of
sugar between 5000 900 and $1,000 900
per annum by means OF the duty of \
of a cent pound. and il il had not at
the same time intensified the CONNER
cial hostility Of Germany and invited
additional and still more injurious and
retaliatory attacks upon our export
trade with that country. the value Of
which has been in the ncighbcrhood of
100000, 900 year. When these facts
are considered. the defense Of the sugar
trust alliance and the sugar trust vote
in the senate. by the republican
press. should not promote hilarity or
gayety in the mind If any honest and
patriotic citizen.
The presidents urgent recommenda-
ton in his message that these two du-
ties should be repealed was regarded
with much favor by the republican
press. II was heartily approved bY
