The Union INDUCES in still fur
Their modification of Ament'e. attack
upon Miss Nellie Moore this morning
by saying that il TIE ARGUS had not
given the superintendent . dig il
would not have drawn any FIRE. Per-
haps the idea does not strike the
Union and its worthy educational
contributor that The ARGUS is not
directing its course with view TO
meeting the wishes or sentiments of
the Union or the superintendent. 1t
might be added for the information
OF both, however. that in view Of the
fact that it was THE ARGUS entirely
and not Miss Moore. as is now ad-
mitted by The morning paper, that
made comments on the superin.
tendent in connection with the in
terview, that the superintendent
ungallant references to Miss Moore
were as oat Of place MS they were I'M
becoming an individual occupying q
sphere in life where above ali others
he should know some Of the attri-
butes Of gentleman.
Witness this remark for o paper
that expects public indulgence, much
less public support of its position
"Mr. Ament had no contention with
what Miss Moore is reported to have
said. 1t was what the ARGUS said In
connection with the quoted wsrds
that Mr.. Ament took conception to-"
1t was The ARGUS then that MIR.
Ament was taking issue with when
he alluded to "this lady Moses" and
it was The ARGUS he made reference
to in the silly punning at the close
of the letter. This is indeed quite
refreshing; amazingly so.
The Unions denial about Amept
writing articles appearing in its col
ums which have been passed off as
original is not unexpected. but there
is such thing as more convincing
proof than the morning papers de-
NAL.

Work for the Grand Jury,

Circuit Clerk Gamble is in confer
ence at Cambridge today with Judge
Hiram Bigelow with reference to the
advisability of recalling the grand
jury to act on the cases accu mu late
since May,'so that they can be dis
posed of at the adjourned session of
the circuit to be held beginning Mon
day. July 6. None of the prisoners
indicted at the last term have been
given an opportunity for trial yet.
owing to the crowded condition Of
court affairs. Since adjournment
there have been several offenders
bound over. And it was thought q
good idea to give them and the
county the benefit Of the coming spe-
cial session instead of waiting until
the Septem Der term.

TOO MUCH JOHNSON.
The Union Editors School
Election Attempt.
SEEKS TO SPRING A HEw TICKET.

Proposes ON the Quiet the Names OF Two
Respected Citizens whom He woula
Lite to Use In Behalf Of Mr. Amsnt,
bat - Intellectual.
The editor of the Union has car
ried the school election out of the
sanctum and has undertaken q
campaign of ersonal nature in be-
half of Ament. Notwithstanding
the repeated assertions on the psft
Of the morning paper that it had no
part in the present school contro.
7ersy other than to see fair play,
alike to Mr.. Ament and to the
teachers. and despite the fact that
the names of Messrs. C. b. Marshall
and &. A. donaldson were accepted
by it as invulnerable and as good
candidates, its editor was about yes
terday attempting to secure the sig
natures Of citizens to . petition ask
ing DR.. j. w. Stewart and +. c.
Denkmann to become candidates.
The undertaking did not meet with
much encouragement, not that those
approached were lacking in appre-
citation Of the gentlemen Mr.. John
son sought to use, but because the
policy involved was tinctured with
'.too much johnson" and the attempt
too patent.
The fact OF the matter is there is
NO occasion for the personal act of
the editor of the Union in a contro-
versy where the issue is 60 well de-
fined and understood, aud in which
two candidates have already au-
nouncsd themselves and have been ac-
cepted. And, where there is so much
a, stake where the public mind is SO
thoroughly well settled. but one con-
struction could be placed on the
meaning Of an opposition effort.
Neither Are Candidates.
1t is doubtless in realization OF
this that both the gentlemen whom
Mr.. johnson would like to run have
declared without expressing them
selves on the impending question
that they are not candidates.
Each was conversed with by a repre-
sentative of THE ARGUS this morn
ing. and the response in each in
stance is given:
DIR. j. w. Stewart: Il am not q
candidate. Any way that my name
has been suggested in this connec-
ton is wholly unauthorized. 1 am
not candidate; this is positive"
+. c. Denkmann: II am not q
candidate under any circumstances.
This is the fact of the matter"
This last little effort on the part
OF the Uoion caps the climax. The
next time it wants candidates to 20
before the public in its behalf it will
do well to ask their consent first. In
the meantime the public may posi-
bly, excuse its editor on the theory
that he, too, has fallen completely
under the boosted hypnotic influence
OF the captivating Ament.

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages and that is catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure now known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being II constitutional disease,
requires constitutional treatment
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mucu-
Gus surfaces of the system, thereby de-
stroying the foundation of the disease and
giving the patient strength by building
up the constitution and assisting nature
in doing it's work. The proprietors have
so.much faith in its curative powers that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails TO cure. Send for list OF

wHITEsIDE's CONCEPTION.

One of the most talked of actors on the
American stage to-day is Mr.. Walker
; Whiteside, who will appear at the Acati-
envy Friday, September IS, in Hamlet.
Each quarter of Il century since the Bard
of Avon penncd his matchless lines seems
to have furnished a master for their in
depreciation. There is but little doubt
that Walker Whiteside is the pl e. eminent
figure in this line of the present period
With the passing away of Booth, Barrett
and Mccullough, it seemed to many del
vers into the almost limitless scope of
Shakespearean thought that the present
would fail to find any person gifted for
pre- eminent delineation OF the master
pieces which all but breathed and lived
with the genius of Shakespeare. The
coming of Mr.. Whiteside is regarded by
hundreds of thousands of people as in the
nature of gift of the Creator. Although
he began modestly, but short time
elapsed until it was learned that the age
was to be honored with the presence of a
person who, in youth, appearance, pro-
fundity of conception and tlexibility OF
expression, was thoroughly fitted to carve
in almost matchless lines the subjects of
Shakespeare's pen. His Hamlet is SUI
perb creation. His Richelieu is drawn in
cunning outlines. His Shylock is crafty,
avaricious and yet generous statue that
grows upon the - beholders, who are
amazed at the originality of the delinea-
ton. His Richard III is none the less a
masterpiece With such an actor cover
ing the above characters in-the space of
one week, with the assistance of every
thing that could lend to perfect per-
formance, it would be surprising if the
intellect of Roanoke did not, during these
appearances, testify by presence in this
entry of the genius who, at n compare
lively early period of life, has been ena-
bled to step to the very front of Americas
actors of tragedy.
