Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1895-09-12
ANNOUNCEMENT. a

THE ARGUS has undergone
many and varied vicisSitudeS and
mutations, Of oWnerships, poll
cies and other experiences with
in the past three months, until It
has come again under the control
of the undersigned, who resumes
the harness, unexpectedly to him,
but with no less sincerity Of pur
pose and cOnStancy OF Intention
than characterized the course OF
The ARGUS from its foundation,
III April. 1888, till he retired
from the paper on the first OF
last J une.
The rocks Of adversity over
which The ARGUS has passed
during the Iapslng weeks OF the
past few months served but to
show the force OF the current
upon which the paper moves and
the depths Of its foundations in
the esteem anel confidence OF the
people Of this community. When
1t Was III the throeS OF travail, its
political enemies hereabOutS re-
joiced exceeding much over its
anticipated dissolution, and some
OF them went SO far as to rush
anonymously into print, unable
to retain the bile CT their hatred
or restrain the viIliany Of their
Joy. These SkuIkIng towards
could almost smell the flesh pots
Of political patrlmOny and official
revelry, between which and
whom The ARGUS has stood as
a barrier OF bautIe for Democratic
supremacy and the triumph OF
right, unyleiding and insurmount-
abIe. 70 these and their poIiti-
cal ilk The ARGUS has no quarter
TO offer and against them is en-
listed for the war with as sturdy
a nerve as Of yore. For those OF
our own political household Who,
through personal motives or an
tlpathles, have expressed them
selves adversely, we have simply
the philosophical injunction of
"Davy'' Crockett; BE sure
you're right, then go ahead, " for
we have no fear Of the truth and
constantly endeavor to do the
right.
In coming again to the helm of
HE ARGUS, We find more to in
spire city pride and encourage
industrial effort than ever before
in the history of Goldsboro. The
bug bear Of city debt that was
vaunted in the early spring has
vanished like a morning must be-
fore the approaching footsteps
of clOudlesS noon, and the
sound business methods that per
wade our municipal administra-
| tiOn have reaSSured the commun-
| ity and the public that we've
got the best town i'll the State. >
Our several brick yards and
numerous manufacturing enter
prises have been busy all sum
mer and anticipate long run Of
profitable output, not limited by
time nor circumscribed by terri
tory; while our magnificent cot
ton factory, which, heretofore,
through lack Of sagacious busi-
ness management or cOmmen-
surate operating capital, has
been more or less idle, has al
length passed into the ownership
Of corporation that has in
vested a large sum Of money il
the enterprise and will soor
equip it throughout with new
and the very latest improved ma
chinery and run it TO its fulleS
capacity, and even enlarge 1t, i.
necessary, SO that not only oul
farmer friends may hope for F;
better cotton market III Colds
borO than ever before, but the
idle labor Of the community MAY
expect profitable and steady en-
ployment when this mill starts
up under its new regime. Then
there is the Tobacco Warehouse
an altogether new enterprise
that is the all absorbing centre O
interest for the city and tha
"opens for business next week. 1t
construction marks the dawnin,
Of a new era for Goldsboro'
progress. Its mammoth capacit,
; is indicative Of the great golde
gulf f-stream that will soon begi
to flow in upon it's floors from tn
prolific fields of this fertile sec
ton, bathing our city in climat
of wealth heretofore undreame
/ Of and merging all our people
, city and country alike, in con
mon fellowship Of interest tha
will be readily recognized an
that cannot but result in a bette
I feeling among all classes, and
: leveling of whatever barrier
: may have existed heretofore, i
2 fact or in fancy, to retard ou
I advancement as one common pee
pie with common interests and
common destiny.
Such is the prospect that favor
+ Goldsboro with inviting promis
c at this time. Let US each an
5 all do our full duty one to ti
r other, with unity of desire fo
n general advancement. and gre;
e indeed will be Goldshoro in tt
