Rheumatism is a condition of the

doctors, and it is a popularity that
those who once have it are sure to al

time to time. The reason of this is
that the doctors are only able to give
temporary relief, but cannot rid the
system of the disease permanently.

PIKEVILLE, D 81


DEAR ARGUS; Now that we
have had a good season of rain
our farmers are busy setting out
tobacco,
Mrs. J. W. Aycock. of the FIRES
mont section, is in town or a visit
to her parents Elder and Mrs. J.
T.. Edgertor.
Mrs. and Mrs. W. H. Edger-
ton. of Kenly, were ia this sec
ton Sunday, on a visit to the
latter's parents.
Mr.. J. P. Smith, of your city,
spent Sunday at his old home
here.
Misses Emma Howell and Ber-
tina Hodgin, of the Salem Church
section, were visiting among US
Sunday.
For several weeks Mr.. John
G. Smith, living near here, has
been troubled with a wild hog
roofing up his corn and doing
other damage in his field. He
had frequently tried in various
ways to capture the hog but
without avail, he being SO wild
that no one could get near him.
Early last Wednesday night Mr.
Smiths son Lonnie took his gun
and went out into the field where
he had previously put some corn
and concealed himself. Soon the
hog came up and began TO eat,
when Lonnie fired three shots at
him in rapid succession aud
brought him down, and after be-
ing dressed he tipped the beam
at 155 pounds. We learn that the
hog belonged to a widow lady
near Fremont, and he had been
gone so long that he bad become
perfectly wild.
Mr.. r. E. Baton, of Wilson,
was in town Sunday visiting his
friends.
Misses Fife Holland, Della
Edgerton and Sallie Merritt, OF

WILL HISTORY REPEAT
ITSELF?

In 1860, when the first truly
representative National Republi-
can Convention met in Chicago to
nominate a candidate for P1esi-
dent, two-thirds of the delegates
were either instructed or commit
ted to the nomination of William
H. Seward. He was regarded as
the founder of the Republican
party, as its greatest leader, as its
ablest administrator and as the
man who was not only entitled to
the highest honors of the party,
but who could discharge the duties
of the Presidency in the broadest
craftsmanship, Indeed, until with
IN a short time before the meeting
Of the convention no other name
was seriously discussed than that
of Seward. Chase had the in
dorsement of Ohio, Cameron of
Pennsylvania, and Bates of Mis-
souri,, but they were all regarded
as purely ornamental candidates.
Seward was defeated in the
Chicago Convention of 1850 solely
because he was deemed unavaila-
bic. The American sentiment
was then very strong in a number
of the pivotal States, especially in
Pennsylvania and Indiana, which
then elected Governors in October
and would determine the national
contest. In both of those States
the American organization was
atrong. It's principles were re
garded by thousands of followers
as vital, and they were opposed to
Seward because when Governor of
New York he had recommended a
division of the school fund between
the Catholics and Protestants of
the State. Althouuh Seward wasl
the choice of three-fourths of the
Republicans of the country, he
was finally set aside as unavailable
because he was a~ggressively OPP
posed 10 the American organiza-
ton of that day.
Mckinley, Of Ohio, lacks much
Of the general popularity and much
more Of the intellectual force of
Seward, but he is admittedly in the
lead thus far in the Presidential
race. Two months ago his nomi-
nation seemed inevitable, but with
in the last few weeks the McKin-
ley tidal wave has been halted and
it has been done by the organized
American sentiment of the coun-
just as was the Seward tide in
1890. The American movement
of to day is quite as aggressive
against Mckinley as it was against
while Mckinley is vastly
weaker both in popular strength
and in leadership than was Sc
ward. Many delegates elected for
him with the aid of the A. P. A.
organization are now either openly
or secretly against him, and it
seems more than probable that the
either connected or SYM
with the organization,
will hold the balance of power in
the St. Louis Convention. If so,
Mckinley will be defeated and
history will again repeat itself.

GOLDSBORO'S NEW BANK.
1t is Now a Reality and Will Soon
Be Ready For Business

Be Ready For Business
G%olds5oro's new bank, to be
known as "The National Bank of
Goldsboro," completed its organ
ization to>day and is now one Of
Goldsboro's established institu-
tions.
The stockholders met at the
Mayors Office at 1 o'clock. The
meeting was presided over by
Mr.. W. T. Dortch, and Mr.. M. j.
Best acted Us secretary. After
reading TIE plan of organization
and the articles of Incorporation,
the meeting proceeded to bust
ness and elected the following
board of directors: Messrs- Geo
G.. Royal, K. E. Bizzeil, M. j.
Best, Thos. Edmundson, Geo A.
Norwood, Jr., and DR.. J. F.
Miller, all of this city, E.. J.Hol.,
of Smithfeld, j. w Norwood, of
Wilmington, and HI. E. News
berry, of Magnolia.
After some open discussion be-
fore the stockholders, as to loca
ton and some other Incidental
affairs, the meeting adjourned,
and the Board of Directors con-
vened for the purpose Of elacting
a president. vice-presidea ut, cash
Ter, etc., and for completing the
arrangements preliminary to
opening the bank for business.
The Board of Directors elected
Mr. Geo. A. Norwood, Jr.,presi-
dent; Mr.. NJ. J. Best, vice-presi-
dent; and Mr.. Leslie G. Souther-
land, cashier.
This is a great stride for Colds
boro along the high road of prog
ress she now enjoys. No more
substantial evidence of her pres
emit prosperity aud bright future
as existing at home and seen by
the world abroad could be offer
ed than that banking capital
seeks here a field for investment
and on a permanent basis, such
as is required under the national
banking law.
The ARGUS wishes the new
bank a full measure of pros
perity.

GREATER NEW YORK AGAIN.

The General Assembly of New
York has passed the greater New
York bill over the yetoes of May
or Strong, of New York, and
Mayor Muster, of Brooklyn, and
it is the general belief that Gov
ernor Morton will approve the
measure, which will make it a
law. The bill, if it becomes a law,
will be effective January 1, 1898.
1t provides that all of the munich
pal corporations within the coun-
ties of Kings and Richmond, in
Guiding Brooklyn, Long Island
City, the towns of Newton, Flush
ing and Jamaica, and part of the
town of Hampstead, are to be
consolidated with New York City.
The commission which is cree
ated by the bill is to prepare and
transmit to the Legislature on or
before February 1, 1897, a char
ter or bills providing for the gov
eminent of the great new city.
The commission must complete its
work within the prescribed time,
for on March 1, 1897, it must 90
out of existence. On this com
mission will be Andrew II. Green,
the father of the Great New York
scheme and the president of the
old Greater New York Commits
sion; the Mayors of New York,
Brooklyn and Long Island City,
the State Engineer and State Sur
veyor, the Attorney-General and
nine other persons to be appointed
by the Governor and confirmed by
The Senate. At the general cleo
ton in November, 1898, the May
or and other municipal officers for
the consolidated city will be
elected.
Carroll D. Wright, United States
Commissioner of Labor, in charge
of the eleventh census, in a letter
to the New York World, says
that census experts have made an
estimate, based on the eensuses of
1875, 1880, 1890 and 1892, but
making due allowance for the diff
ferent s. of the year at which
these censuses were taken, which
shows that the territory embraced
in the Greater New York will be
about g, 43o, 900 January 1. 1898.
This will make New York easily
the second largest city in the
world.
1t remains to be seen whether
the consolidated cities can be gov
erned better as one than separate
ly. Corruption in municipal af-
fairs has become so common in
great cities that the wisdom of the
consolidation, from a moral point
of view, appears doubtful, to say
the least.

THE LOWER LIMBS.

For the development of the

close together. Raise up on the
balls Of the feet, near the toes,
as high as you can. This moye~
ment develops the muscles in the
calf of the leg.
For the upper and thigh mus
cles, stand straight and carry
each limb in succession straight
before you, as near parallel to
the floor aid at right angles to
the body as possible. Next carry
toe limb off to the side, striving
to obtain the same position.
Shake your head around a few
times swing your arms around
in a circle, Then stand up, try
and touch your toes without
bending your knees, and you
have exercised the main muscles
of your body with the loss of but
little Of your time.
OF course, before you dress
you will run over your body with
a wet sponge ard dry off by rub

Then take your two chairs,
turn them around SO the seats
will be opposite each other, set
yourself on the floor between
them, put the palms of your
hands on the edge of the seat,
and thus raise and lower your
body by the muscles Of your
arms, keeping if possible rigid
from the waist down and work
parallel to the floor.
If at first this should be too
hard for you, make the same
movements, only instead of Sit
on the floor start in a kneel-
ing position. After going
through with this stand up
with the arms extended in

them with a quick movement, in
