In MemOrianl.

Silas Woodard Cox, M, D.,
most worthy member of the
Wayne County Medical Society,
was born on Neuse river, Wayne
county, N. c., on the 7th day of
September 1851, and died on the
18th day of May, 1895 of Chronic
Castro Enteritis. DR.. Cox re
ceived liberal, classical and
mathematical education at Guil>
ford college, of this State, and at
Elom 0College, Indiana. After
leaving these institutions of learn
ing he taught school at several
places in this county and after
wards studied medicine under DR..
Geo. L. Kirby as preceptor, and
graduated from jefferson Medical
College in March 1881. DR.. Cox
was s very meek, quiet and mod
est gentleman and was -singularly
free from the worldly ambitions
that stir and disturb the minds of
most men. But he had, never
theless, high ideals OF life; and /
never knew man more loyal to
convictions or more faithful and
conscientious in the discharge of
duty. Quietly and unobtrusively,
in imitation of the Great Physi-
clan, he "went about doing good"
and spent his life among the peo
pie and scenes of his childhood,
administering to the afflicted in a
large measure without pecuniary
reward, but nevertheless faith
fully and with the tenderness of
the Christian Physician.
DR.. Cox was student through
out his comparatively short life.
He read much of current medical
literature and was also familiar
with many Of the popular authors
in general literature. There are
few among us who appreciated the
literary tastes and culture of our
deceased brother, because he was
so modest that only now and then
he permitted the world to witness
the scintillations of the gems of
thought that lay embedded in his
brain. His highest tribute lies
in the statement that those who
knew him best in the several rela-
tons of life, as friend, citizen and
physician, appreciated and loved
him most,
DIR. Cox was an elder in the
ssSociety of Friends,' and like
Timothy of the Gospel he ''knew
the Scripture from Child His
life was a beautiful unfolding of
their teachings and a forcible IL
lustration of their influence upon
human life and character. No
lofty shaft may mark his resting
place, nor "pealing anthems swell
their notes of praise; but in the
hearts of those to whom he min
istered his memory will live, and
the pdor of his quiet, useful life
will be as ssointment poured
forth. - j. f. MILLER,
Golasboro. N. G., Oct. 80, 90.

forcible and eloquent of utterance;
the other awkward in his move
ments, indistinct, and hesitating
in his utterance, discriminating
in emphasis, and possessed of a
harsh voice and a wearisome
drawl; is there any question as to
which of the two would be Sc
lected to conduct the case?
The saying is as old as Quin-
tilian, that a poor discourse we'll
delivered will have better effect
than a good discourse poorly de-
livered, and that one who has a
good discourse and a good deliv-
cry has everything in his favor.
Emerson even goes so far as to
say: "What is said is the least
part of an oration. It is the
attitude taken, the unmistakable
sign, ever SO casually given, in
tone of voice, or manner, or
word that greater spirit speaks
from you than is spoken to in
him.
Beecher says of the cultivated
voice, that it s'is like an orchestra.
1t ranges high, intermediate, or
low unconsciously to him who
uses it, and men listen quite un-
aware that they have been be-
witched out of their weariness by
the charms of a voice not arti-
fetal but made by assiduous
training to be his second nature" ,"

ELOCUTION AS AN ART.
Its Value and Importance Can
Scarcely be Realized.

Apropos of the opening in this
city of an elocution class by Miss
Amy Stevens, graduate of dis
tinction, the ARGUS would i'm
press upon its readers-especially
parents and the young, the i'm
portance of Elocution and be-
speak all possible encouragement
to Miss Stevens in her laudable
undertaking, which cannot but
prove of great value to the COM
munity if properly taken advant
age of.
The value of the study of
spoken language can scarcely be
overatcd. The human voice is a
great power among men. 1t
is human nature to want to hear
truth presented in the most inter
esting and, it may be, the most
vivid manner; and although the
daily papers have become the me-
dunn of conveying to the masses
current news and general infor-
nation, it is still the province of
the public speaker TO convince
men and move them to action.
This can be done through the liv-
ing voice and manner, by which
only, says Humboldt, "sthe speaker
is able to breathe, as it were. his
own soul into the souls of his
hearers -
Another and not less interest
ing use to which the vocal low
ers may be put, and which is a
source of public instruction and
pleasure, is the Interpretation, by
means of good reading, of the
masterpieces of literature. This
need not be confined to the de-
mands of the general public for
entertainment. What higher or
purer qualification can there be in
the home or social circle than the
artistic reading of some beautiful
piece of literature! This exercise
is not only profitable to the lis
tener but more so to the reader,
for he cannot give an intelligent
Interpretation of language with
out first understanding it himself.
A splendid illustration Of this
will be found in another column of
this issue of the ARGUs-in Julian
Hawthorne's fine description of
Bryan's power and Inspiration as
an orator.
Then far more desirable than
either of the points mentioned,
because it is universal, is vocal
accomplishment in conversation !.
There is no one who is not pleased
with voice of pure vocality, of
good melody, of discriminating
tone color, and of other elements
that add to pleasing vocal effects.
Let us see how in a public or
professional way the cultivated
voice and manner are a source of
great power and profit to the pos
SCISSOR. Suppose one has an inn
portant case to be decided in the
courts-one in which vast prop
erty interests or even lives are al
stake, and let as suppose that in
looking for an advocate he hap

1t has been announced that / am
endeavoring to secure for Colds
boro series of first-class enter
tainmenfs in the interest of our
school library. There are two

BILE. we wish to derive some funds
for our library. We are greatly
in need of more books for the
children to read, and we have no
means OF purchasing these books
except by some arrangement of
this sort

following: Swedish Quartette

Boston's favorite humorist, Ed
ward p. Elliott, the leading i'm
personator of highclass plays.
Mr.. Elliott is a monologue artist
with few equals. Last but not
least the ssBoston Star Concert
Company"
1 can not afford to engage the
above talent without some assur j.,
ance that enough tickets will be
taken to pay the actual cost of
bringing them to Goldsboro and
hence have adopted the plan of
selling season tickets in advance.
A great many have already sub
scribed to these tickets, but there
are many others whom i have not
been able to see. Tho cost of a
season ticket is two dollars @. O0).
This will admit the holder to the
five entertainments including re-
served seats.
The season tickets will be for
sale next week only. After that
time the regular price of Is cents
will be charged for each admission.
If any one would desire to avail
himself of this reduction by Sc
curing season ticket he can do

the next week or by dropping a
postal in the postofice, giving
name and number of tickets de-
