DEATH OF MRS. LASSITER.

kilograms we're received
yesterday says the Raleigh News
& Observer, announcing the sad
death at Denver, Colorado,
of Mrs. Ellen Faucett Lassitel !,
of Henderson. Soon after her
arrival in Colorado, whi.her she
had gone for the benefit or her
husbands health, Mrs. Lassiter
was stricken with typhoid
fever, from which attack she
was thought to be convalescing.
when the painful tidings of her
relapse was received. She COM
pleted her education at St.
Mary's in June, and in August
of this year was united in mar
riage to James Fl. Lassiter. Jr..
a prominent young business man
of Henderson. The news will be
a sad shock to her relatives and
school friends who had hardly
ceased congratulatiDg these happy
young people on the bright be-
ginning of their welded life.

South Carolina Tragedy.

Columbia, S. c., Nov. 3O.-A
special to the State from Troy, S.
c., gives intelligence CT a double
tragedy at 'Betheny church, near
there yesterday. 1t seems that
for some time a fued had resulted
between L. j. Williams and J. D.
White, because of political rivalry,
though both belonged to the re-
form faction. The matter was
preached after church yesterday
by j. V. White, a brother, who
cursed Williams. They both
drew pistols and Williams killed
White. J. d, White then cut
Williams with a knife and was
shot down, dying some hours la
Ter. The bodies had not been
removed from the church, which
was in a remote section of the
country, when heard from to-day.
Williams is an ex- member of the
Legislature and a member of the
Board of Control.

WITHOUT A POINT.

The Newbern Chronicle, of
uncertain lease on existence aud
unknown tenets, comes to US this
morning with a maudling jabber
of words that are beyond the
comprehension of any one of
average intelligence, therefore
not to be understood by a don
key"
Here is one of the Chronicles
sentences, in an article the di-
vined purpose of which is to
discuss the recent editorial of
THE ARGUS upon the proposed
lease of the A. & N. G. r. r.:
AS the 'sightless ARGUS remarks fur
Their along that 'tnone of these things
are german to the consideration of
this matter by the court, or even per
missable evidence before that tribu-
this offensive personality, this
little minded slur at the good name
and intentions of a citizen whose in
tegrity, forbearance and true patriot
ism have never been questioned, is only
a miscarriage of some OF that thigh
born conviction" of which the ARGUS
has SO much. We would advise the
ARGUS to again relapse into ''dignified
~silence." 1t is trite as it is true that
even a donkey is dignified whom he is
silent. Wherefore, silence is very be-
coming in many journals.
Now THE ARGUS would simply
say to the Chronicle that it is
impossible to conduct an argu-
ment to a logical conclusion,
even with a sensible adversary,
without a basic point Of common
agreement, and as we are utterly
at a loss to divine just whom,
what or which the Chronicle re-
fers to above, we must ask our
contemporary to specify"
AS to the concluding lines Of
the extract above, we are not
very much acquainted with the
Chronicle, but if its leading edi-
torial OF this morning is . fair
sample of its daily work, it has
written it's own autobiography,
and should therefore yield gracea
fully to it's own advice.

Something to Depend on.

Mr.. James Jones, of the drug firm of
Jones & Son, Cowden, ILL.,, in speak
ing of DR.. Kings New Discovery, says
that last winter his wife was attacked
v it'll LaGrippe. and her s. grew 20
serious that physicians at Cowden and
Pana could do nothing for her. It
seemed to develop into Hasty consump-
ton. Having DR.. Kings New Discov-
cry in store, and selling lots of it, he
took = bottle home, and to the surprise
of all, she began to get better from the
first dose, and half dozen dollar bottles
cured her sound and well. DR.. Kings

A True Maxim.

Nothing succeeds like success, is a
maxim we'll applied to- DR.. Bulls
Cough Syrup, for this famous remedy
succeeds in curing every case of Group,
cough and cold which it undertakes,
and to this alone is due its wonderful
popularity. Mrs. E. w. Richards,
2214 E. Cumberland ST., Philadelphia,
Pa, states II have had DR.. Bulls
Cough Syrup on my bureau for the last
nine years, and have found it certain
and safe cure for Group. I have also
found it eficacious in extreme men,
braneous Group, and would advise all
mothers to use it." DR.. Bulls Cough
Syrup costs only 25 cents, and you
should bear in mind, that substitutes
simply benefit the Dealers purse. In

ELDER James Morley. of Pine
Level, who has recently con.
Quoted a series of revival meet

MR.. A r. Williams, of this
county, on Saturday walked into
the jewelry store of Mr.. L. D
Giddens, Jr.. to purchase an en-.
gagement ring. He is now Al
years of age and said this was
the third time he had been to
that store on a similar errand.
This time Miss Mary Eatman OF
Greenleaf. has been selected to
wear the treasure and December
II has been selected as the date
on which the happy climax in
that sentimental drama will
transpire.
THE suction cotton gin of the
Goldsboro Oil Company has
proven a succes so far. 1t was
not the intention of the proprie-
tors to do much work with it this
season and if the expenses of run
ming the plant should be made,
they would be well pleased. 1t
is now thought this much
will be done and more besides.
Next season when the convent
ences and saving of the new
mode for ginning cotton has be-
come known by planters it is ex>
pected that the investment will
be made to pay.
In this issue of The ARGUS APP
pears an announcement, from Re-
publican headquarters, that appli-
cation will be made to the coming
Legislature to change the charter
of the City Of Goldsboro. Just
what changes are to be applied for
remains to be seen; but what
changes will be secured from the
General Assembly is altogether
different. 1t is needless-it would
be unfair land The ARGUS wishes
and strives always to be fair) to
discuss this matter from a stand
point of mere supposition. It
will be time enough when the
"changes'' are proposed to inyes-
tigate and discuss them.
THE two sons and son-in>law
of j. D. Langeton, living near
Pearson's bridge, in this county,
became incensed at a recent mar
risge of their father and dis
guised themselves on Sunday
night and went to his house and
put out all the lights. AS soon
as the lights were out the wife of
Mr.. Langston made her escape
in the darkness and not knowing
who her purSuers were, sought
protection in one Of their homes.
They soon found her and told her
to leave the county in a few
hours. The case was tried be-
fore Justice Broadhurst Tuesday
morning and the three law break
ers are now under bond for
their appearance at court.

According to a celebrated anatsmist
there are upwards of 5000, 600 little
glands in the human stomach. These
glands pour out the digestive juices
which dissolve or digest the food. In.
digestion is want OF juice, weakness OF
glands, need of help to restore the
health of these organs. The best and
most natural help is that given by
Shaker Digestive Cordial. Natural,
because it supplies the materials needed
by the glands to prepare the digestive
juices. Because it strengthens and in
~vigorates the glands and the stomach.

How to Help the Cause.

The New York Times, in dis
cussing the question, what can
the government do for the farm
ers?" e~numerates among others
these three things: First, the
government, says the Times, can
keep down the taxes by care
and economy in appropriations
and by faithful administration.
Second, it can shape the taxes so
that they shall fall Oh the farms
ers and other consumers as
lightly as possible, and SO that
they shall not enable special in>
terests to charge high prices.
Third, it can devise and author
ize a system of sound, safe gen
eral banking by which to the
metallic currency of the country
shall be added a bank-note cur
rency, which will make all
forms of credit safer, simpler,
and easier throughout tho Union.
Then, in arguing for the neces-
sity for a change in our currency
system, the Times says:
Money is (under the present
system) costly and high when it
is most needed in agricultural re-
gions, and IS gathered at the
money centres to stimulate
speculation when it is not so
needed, There is a lack of small,
we'll managed and safe local
banks which can furnish both
currency and credit in the farms
ing districts with a knowledge of
conditions that would make their
operations secured"
We endorse these words as
being eminently true and to the
point. We also endorse the de-
cfaration Of the Times that the
measure set forth above as being
in the power of the government
to take should be taken for the
benefit of the farmers as well as
for that of the general public,
The carrying out of such a
policy would mean a cons
dition of prosperity and con-
tentment in this country such as
it hasSnot known since the war.
But, alas! it is idle to hope for
all these blessings from a Re-
publican administration. "Econ.
omy" is a word unknown in the
Republican vocabulary; ''faith>
full administration" would be vio>
latvie of all Republican prece-
dents, and the chief spokesman
of Mckinley have already served
notice upon the people that pro-
lection will continue to be the
shibboleth of the Republican
party. The most that can be
reasonsonably expected is that
the new administration will rec
conognize that the demand Of the
masses for a change in the eur
rency system change that
will give the relief the Times
suggests-is one that the party
will ignore at its peril.-Rich.
