blessed era of our history pre-
ceding what is called ''the crime
of 1873" For many years before
that act there was not to be
found in this country a silver
dollar except such as were held
as curiosities or in coin cOllec-
tions. Only about 5000, 900 of
them had been coined since the
foundation of the government.
The hundreds Of millions of sill
yer that have been put into Cir
culation since 1.-The crime of 1879
are the money Of the rich and the
poor alike and as good as gold
because the country has rejected
the counsels and refused to adopt
the policy Of the silver monomet-
allists.
A pleasant reception was given
by Mr.. and Mrs. j. F. Dobson at
their hospitable home on William
street, Friday evening, compli-
mentary to their son Mr., John
B. Dobson and young bride, who
are spending a few days here be-
fore proceeding further North,
to Washington and New York, on
their bridal trip. Mr.. Dobson is a
Goldsboro boy who has, like many
others of our boys, won distinc-
ton abroad. He is engaged with
the Western Union Telegraph
Company at Augusta, and his
fair young bride, nee Miss Fife
Leckie, is a neice of Superinten-
dent Bremen, of the Third Dis
trict, W. U. T. Co. The reception
in their honor Friday evening
was an enjoyable occasion and
they were the recipients Of many
cordial good wishes for their
happiness and prosperity.
The ARGUS does not believe
it safe to organize silver lea
CUES or gold league or any other
sort of leagues inside of the Dem
ocratic party, except upon is
sues clearly endorsed by the
previous action of some authority
of the party. The members of
the Democratic party are divided
on the question Of free silver
coinage, badly divided, and it
only makes the division worse
for those who favor either side
of the question to organize lea
CUES for the purpose of carrying
their side but it will provoke the
antagonism of those who differ
with them on the coinage question
and the harmony of those who at
present constitute the Democratic
party is worth more than the al
lance of some few outsiders who
will accept only that part of the
Democratic platform which they
expect to be made favoring free
silver.
The ARGUS is glad to note the
forthcoming at an early day Of a
new magazine that promises to
be Of peculiar interest, pride and
profit to the South. It will be
published from Washington, D.
c., which will give it more re-
sources to draw from direct than
are afforded anywhere else in
the nation. It is to be called
1.-The Southern Literary Messen-
ger" similar to a magazine that
was published in the South be-
fore the war. The magazine will
start under favorable auspices.
The now well-known Southern
writer, Mrs. Trueheart Buck,
will be the editress and proprie-
tor We shall look for it's coming
with anticipation of a real treat
and permanent benefit.
On next Monday week the city
election will be held for Mayor
and Aldermen. It is of the most
vital importance that GoldsborC
remain solidly and triumphantly
Democratic. The loss of Colds
boro to the Democracy in the
coming city election would near
the loss of the county in the next
general election. It behooves
every good Democrat, therefore.
whether he got his personal
choice for mayor or not.
to stand firmly by the party or
ganization and the principles o.

crat see to it this week that his
name is duly registered, under
the new registration law, and lie
him talk and work for the city
nominees Of Democracy until the
polls close on the evening o

t THE concert last evening b,
. the Graded School children wa
much enjoyed by a large and APP
preciative audience. The dane
: ing of the minuet by the children
u of the first grade was a beauti
ful and difficult performance
most artistically and graceful,
done. Also the little girls in tn
!. flag drill acquitted themselve
, well, marching, counter-march
ing, saluting, and charging wit
the precision of veterans, an
with far greater grace and beau
!. ty. The violin solos and duet
y were creditable to the youns
ladies and fattering to thei
teacher. There was not a tam
!. piece on the programme, or on
that was not enthusiastically re-
ceived. For the success of tn
entertainment credit is due Mr.:
