In Memoriam.

Died. of consumption. at hel
home in Goldsboro. N. c., Dec,
9th 1895. Sudie A. Grady, wife
of Ed. Grady, daughter of Ste
phen and Ann Kornegay, of
Daplin county. She was a frai
and fragil child, full of ambition,
developing into a noble enegetie
woman, a true and devoted wife,
a tender and loving mother, E
kind and congenial friend and E
member of the Presbyterian
church.
Her remains were inferred ir
the family burying ground be-
side her sainted mother. She
leaves a husband and two chill
dren and a large circle of friends
and relatives to moan her depar
ture.
Not for the dead in Christ we weep,
Their sorrows row are DER;
The sea is calm, the tempest past,
On that eternal shore.
Their peace is sealed, her rest is sure
Within that better home;
Awhile we weep, and linger here,
Then follow to the tomb.

TaImage Causes Trouble.

Washington. Jan, 3.-Rev. DIR.
Talmage wants to preach oftener.
He was engaged to preach on
Sunday evenings for the First
Presbyterian Church, and by his
contract he eau preach only once
a week. He says that unless the
First Church will let him preach
on Sunday mornings he will ac>
cept invitations to preach at
other churches for their morning
services.
This oratorical anxiety on the
part of DR.. Talmage has caused a
ruct1on in the church, and the
Washington Presbytery has been
called in special session to decide
the matter. The two other
preachers, DR.. Sunderland anG
Mr.. Allen, want to have then
turns on Sunday mornings, but
DR.. Talmage wants to do all the
talking and he seems irrepressi-
BILE.

PLATT FOR MORTON.
He Regards New FORKS Governor
as the Strongest Candidate.

New York, J January 2.
T c. Piatt said to~day con
corning the reports this morn:
ling as to Governor Morton's
candidacy for the Presidency:
Governor Morton has con-
scented to enter the race, and his
friends will now go to work for
+, kin a. t.ong the line, He will
not make any formal statement
himself, but he has told his
friends that he is candidate
From the information [ have I
am confident that the Governor
will be nominated at the St.
Souls convention. [ regard him
as the strongest candidate in the
race.
Governor Morton's great
strength as a candidate lies in
the fact that he will have united
delegation from New York State
working for him, and he is pop
ular all over the country. He
will not have to overcome anv
factional or sectional opposi-
ton"
Mr.. Platt said he had not
heard from Senator Quay since
Governor Morton consented to
run, and was therefore unable to
say how the Pennsylvania dele
cation will vote. He said he had
not heard any discussion of the
probable candidate for Vice
President Gu the ticket with
Morton. There is an impression
among Republican politicians
that Mr.. Platt will personally
direct the preliminary canvass of
Governor Morton, and that Sen
ator Quay with the Pennsylvania
delegation Will soon fall into line
for the Governor.
DIR. Chauncey Mr.. Depew was
seen in his Office in the Grand
Central depot this morning. and
in speaking of Governor Morton
as a candidate said Governor
Morton will be the Presidential
of the New York dele
cation. I be1ieve that all fac
tions will agree upon his cleo
ton. The Governor has con
sented to allow his name TO be
used. Not only will the New
York delegates to the st. Louis
vote solidly for the
Governor. but he will receive
the Endorsement of many other
States, and possibly Pennsylva-
MIA.
"There has been some talk of
General Tracy as a candidate, but
General Tracy is not in the race.
He is one of those who have
urged Governor Morton to be a

NOTES..

Experience with Prolific Cotton
Grower has demonstrated that for
raising bright tobacco there is
nothing better.
Select the fertilizer that is best
suited for tobacco and then get
the best you can buy. A poor
grade is worse than none at all.
The longer tobacco is ploughed
the latest plants will be in ripen
ing. Early and thorough culti-
vation is important.
Don't be discouraged if your
crop was not a success the first
year. Experience comes high,
but in the long run it is best for
us.
Read carefully the reading mat
ter in this book on the culture of
tobacco-fully understand every
detail before you begin and then
YOU will make no mistake.
Don't rush Ia the tobocco bus
mess thinking that in a large crop
there is more money. Plant less
and make it better and you will
be better satisfied with the result.
The Goldsboro Tobacco Ware
house Company are determined to
make the Goldsboro market the
finest in the State. They will aid
you in any way they can. Any
information will be cheerfully
furnished.

Can Hog Cholera be: chfedP

Before answering this question
DIR. Salmon, chief of the United
States bureau of animal industry
says that it is necessary to re-
member that there has never been
discovered remedy for a single
one of the infectious diseases of
man or animal which will cure
every individual attack. A large
number of tests were made by the
department, and for long time
it was doubtful whether any rem
edy or combination of remedies
could be made which would pro-
duce any marked effect in lessen
ing the ravages of swine diseases.
The experiments of the last year,
however, indicate that treatments,
if properly applied, may be sue
cessful. A number of formulas
have been developed and used in
the field with good results. The
most effective is the following
Wood charcoal, 1 fb, sulphur, ]
fb sodium chloride, 2 lbs; So
dunn bicarbonate, 2 lbs, sodium
hyposulphite, 2 TBS; sodium sui
phate, l fb, antimony sulphide,
| l 10. These ingredients must be
Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1896-01-09
completely pulverized and thor
oughly mixed.
The dose is a large tablespoonful

completely pulverized and thor
oughly mixed.
The dose is a large tablespoonful
for each two hundred pounds of
hog, and is to be given once daily.
When hogs are effected do not
feed corn alone, but at least once
a day give a soft feed, made by
mixing bran and middlings, or
middlings and corn meal, or
ground oats and grain, or crushed
wheat with hot water, and then
stir in this the proper quantity of
the medicine. Hogs are fond of
this medicine. 1t increases their
appetite, and when they once taste
of the food with which it has been
mixed, they will eat it when moth
ing else would tempt them. Very
sick animals, that cannot eat the
feed, should be drenched with the
medicine shaken up with water.
In our experiments, hogs that
were So sick that they would eat
nothing have commenced after re-
ceiving a dose of the remedy, and
steadily improved until they ap-
peared perfectly well.
This medicine may also be used
as a preventive of swine diseases,
and for this purpose should be
put in the feed of the whole herd,
care being taken that each animal
receives its proper share. In cases
where it has been given fair
trial, it has apparently cured most
of the animals which were sick,
and has stopped the progress of
the disease in the herd. 1t also APP
pears to be an excellent appetizer.

The Tobacco Staple.

Tobacco was one of the first
crops grown in this country, more
than hundred and fifty years be-
fore the national government was
organized, and was exported reg
ularly from the first. With it
wives were purchased by the early
immigrants, and later their daugh-
ters were lowered with its pro
ceeds. 1t is still great crop of
North Carolina, as well as of Vir-
ginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and
Maryland, for manufacture and
export; while the production OF
cigar leaf is monopolized by the
Connecticut Valley, three coun-
ties in Pennsylvania, three coun-
ties in New York and few in
| Wisconsin and other States. It was
a great crop fifty-years ago, the
official record making the product
219, 163, 319 pounds, while the
export Of leaf tobacco in 1910 was
119, 484 hogsheads, valued al
SO, $50, 957. The exports of 1seel
81 were, leaf tobacco, 236, 969,
$50 pounds valued at $40, no.
Gil; stems and trimmings, II,
263, o19 pounds valued at 1892,
848. There were also exports OF
manufactured tobacco and cigars
to the value of 81, 1856, ,713. This
is product that cannot increase
in the same ratio as population.
Europe produces as much to
bacco as America, restricts cElti
vation, and controls Importation,
manufacture and sale. Our pro
Educt gives variety and is superior
in strength and flavor, and is i'm
ported by Europe under these
limitations and cannot be ha6
without them. Now we manu-
facture and consume more thar
we sell, and this disproportior
will increase unless the habit of its
use shall greatly decline.

EMIGRATION TO THE SOUTH.
What is eoldsboro Going to do About it.

1
| 1t is no longer westward but
southwark that the star of em>
pire takes its way. AS set forth
in the Times-derald yesterday
the march of emigration is maxi
] ing a wide sweep toward the
| Glilder climates Of the South and
men and women are fleeing from
regioMs of eight and nine months
winter to a more equable zone
They are beginning to discover
that it IS a waste of energy and
money to spend, more than one
half Of their earnings and two
thirds of their timein the mere
effort to keep warm and comfort
able when they may have that
condition for nothing.
That this impulse was bound
to come just as soon as the South
ern States recovered from the
effects of the war and became ac-
custOmed to new channels of bus
mess and labor has long been
foreseen. The progressive South
erners have themselves been alert
to bring about this better day,
and their spirit has been mani
tested, not only in the success of
the Atlanta Exposition, but in
the vast industries that have
prospered at Birmingham, at
Chattanooga, at Knoxville and
other notable points in the
South.
The people understand also
that the negro problem, if not
settled, is in progress of settles
nent, and that it is at least no
longer a source of irritation.
Hence that barrier is thrown
down, and there is no deterrent
cause to bar the overflow of hu-
manlty from the buster and more
active hives of the world.
And this is all the South needs
"a teeming population-to de
velop its vast natural resources,
to dot it with towns and cities, to
make it laugh with fruitful har-
vest and a material prosperity
such as few cuntries have en-
joyed.
And with this prosperity comes
the better feeling, North and
South, that grows out of homo
geneity OF purpose and pursuits.
When the great dailies of Chi
cago admit these facts, which
THE ARGUS has long proclaimed,
no one can question that the
movement from the West to the
South is assumingnationali impor-
tance. Sothward the star of en-
pire takes its way, and here
wealth will be created as never
before!
What is Goidsboro and this
section doing to attract and Sc
cure their share Of this desira-
BILE population and consequent
upbuilding?

The above will be no surprise
in this State to those who know
Butler best. Aside from its pure
ly burlesque features, it is a true
pen picture of the man. We re-
member we'll the first time we
ever gazed upon Butler in the
capacity of public man: (per-
sonally we had known him for
several years: lit was in the
Democratic legislative caucus to
nominate the first State Railroad
Commission, he being at that
time Democratic State Senator
from Sampson county. He took
the floor Of the caucus to nomi-
nate a member of the commits
sion, The crowd listened with
patience to his ''spread eagle"
per oration; then he got down to
a eulogy of his candidate, which
was punctuated every now and
then with the repetition of ''a
man that is" so and so. This
kept up until the patience Of his
audience was sorely taxed; then
some one called out, name your
man.. Butler continued, "a man
that is" so and so; another voice
called out, '' who is he?" Butler
continued, ''a man that is" so
and so; then a voice cried out.
''sit down";but Butler continued,
"a man" &C. Then the crowd
spontaneously yelled "sit down."
But, instead, Butler walked the
aisle and beat the air with his
arms like wind mill, red in the
face as a turkey gobbler's gills,
and tried to talk that great crowd
out of countenance and into sill
ence; but they continued to yell,
"put him OUT, until he finally
sank exhausted into his seat, and
to this day who his candidate was
is unknown.
Those, throughout the State,
who were present in that caucus
know that we have not overs
drawn the picture. They all had
forced upon them then the con-
viction that Butler was pigmy.
And now in the halls Of nation
al legislation he is rafting
around in the great Ransom s
seat-to the shame and confusion
of the patriotic citizens of oul
still grand old Commonwealth
