BASE BALL.

For the second time this season, the
home team and the Doylestown Giants
met in battle array ON the diamond on
the Association grounds in this city on
Thursday last, and the visitors were sim
ply pie for our boys. They met with
their worst defeat in years. They were
out-batted, out.felded and out played at
all points. Eyler, an ex-league and state
league pitcher, was 10 the box for the Wis
itors and he lasted the heavy onslaught
OF our heavy sluggers but six innings,
when he was taken out and Winters, Riv.
erton's crack pitcher, was substituted and
he was pounded in the seventh for six
hits, netting six runs after that, no hits
were made off him. Our boys played ball
from the start and demonstrated TO their
many admirers that they knew the game
to perfection. They played the chit and
run game" that wins every time, and as
for team work, no finer has been seen on
our grounds this season.

The new rule of the State board OF
education requiring all candidates for
county school superintendencies to pass
competitive exam nation for the po-
sition appears to be meeting with
much success. Speaking of an event
of this kind the Newark Sunday Call
says:
The State board of education has
held an examination for the office OF
superintendent of schools of Camden
county. There were ?5 candidates and
all excepting three had school expert
ence. Politicians we're not In it. The
examination was with reference to cx.
perience, general learning, ideas upon
school management and physical and
mental capacity for the kind of work.
The results are said to have demon
strated that the examination plan
would operate most advantageously.
The appointment will be made in Sep
TENDER from list of eigiblcs but the
real gain was made when it was
merely announced that an examina.
ton would be held. That barred out
the wire-puller at the very start. The
politicians have kicked violently, but
they have come to see that the change
is inevitable, and to recognize its mer.
its in spite of themselves.

When any part of the body isn't doing
the work that nature intended ii to do, 1t
puts the whole system out Of tune-out of
harmony. Sickness in one part of the
body is likely to run into all parts Of the
body. When children stand row Of
bricks ON end, they knock the whole row
down by upsetting one brick. That is ex-
actly what happens TO the health when
the bowels fail to perform their proper
function. Constipation makes trouble all
along the line-puts the liver out of or
der, is bad for the kidneys-bad for the
stomach. 1t holds in the body poisonous
matter, and because it cannot go any
place else, it gets into the blood. The
blood carries it all over the system That
makes sluggishness, lassitude, bad breath
and foul taste in the mouth, fills the stom-
ach with gas and causes windy belching,
stops digestion in the stomach, causes
sour stomach, heartburn and headache.

an ana E. M. Hales, aged29 years
and 6 months.
Fell on sleep June q, 1896.
TO those who knew her. she
needs no eulogy, and to others,
let it suffice to say she was not
only a kind and devoted wife and
mother, and only to form her ac~
quaintance to know her, but also
a devoted member of the Free
Will Baptist church, of which she
lived a consistent member for
about nine years. She now sleeps
with her children and others who
have gone before. to await the
resurrection from the dead of all
the sleeping saints who sleep in
Jesus, to receive a crown of life
which the Lord, the righteous
Judge, shall give them at that
day, with all who love His ap.
pearing and kingdom. She was
the mother of 2 children, 4 of
which survive her with their
father and many sympathizing
friends to mourn her loss, which
loss we trust is her gain. May
the Lord comfort them in their
bereavement and guide them by
His spirit to love and obeyHim,
is the prayer of the unworthy
writer. NATHAN HALES.

THE TELLER BOOM.

Now Pat Walsh, of Georgia, r.
B. PEBBLES, of this State, and
other silver Democrats who want
Republican Teller nominated by
the Democratic convention for
President, argue that his nomi-
nation will afford an opportunity
for the Democracy to gather
within its fold the Populists and
free silver Republicans. They do
not seem to take into consider a.
ton the fact that it would at the
same time drive out of the party
thousands and thousands of
sound money Democrats all over
the North. East, South and West,
who would stand by the organi-
zation and support a Democratic
nominee regardless of the plat
forms financial declaration, but
who would feel impelled to withs
draw their support we're a Re-
publican or Populist made the
party's standard bearer. These
Teller boomers are endeavorlng
to deliver the Democratic party
over to the Populists and free
silver Republicans, and thus
complete the work of destruc-
ton which a free silver platform
already threatens to inaugurate.
No true Democrat would feel
bound by a sense of party fealty
to stand by the organization were
a %'ife>long Republican. who has
never voted a Democratic ballot.
and who has not even since his
spectacular bolt from the Repubs
lican convention, pledged himself
to become a Democrat, selected
as the leader. The Teller cham
pions in the Democratic house
hold are evidently drunk with
the free silver craze. They place
the advocacy of free coinage
above all other considerations,
even to the preservation of the
party's life. They are crazed
with silver enthusiasm. If they
succeed in their efforts and nomi-
nate Teller for President, the
ticket thus named will not be
Democratic, and the ties which
bind the party together will be
broken. Overwhelming defeat
and party disintegration will
surely follow.

PRIZE HOUSES.
Ii Meeting Last Night and One Called
For Tonight

The Meeting Last Night and One Called
For Tonight
The mass meeting called for
last night at the Mayors Office
was attended by a number of the
representative business men of
the city, and right much enthusi-
asm was manifested over the
building of more prize houses for
Goldshoro. Mr.. G.. A. Norwood,
president of the National Bank
of this city, was made perman =
ent chairman.
After some little discussion in
dulged in by different gentlemen
present, a subscription list was
handed around and the sum of
81, $50 was subscribed toward the
building of three more prize
houses. AS this sum is INSULT
Gent to erect the buildings con =.
templated a committe consisting
of Messrs. W E. Bc1den,J J. L Bor-
den, F. Fl. Chamberlain and Geo.
a. Norwood was appointed to wait
on the capitalists Of Goldsboro
who were not present last night
and solicit subscriptions this
afternoon that are to be reported
at another public meeting to be
held tonight at the Mayors
Office, $50 o'clock.
It seemed to be the concensus
of opinion of the meeting last
night that six more prize houses
were needed for this city. in or
der 20 complete the essentials for
the first class tobacco market
that it is intended Goldsboro
shall be: and after the amounts
necessary to build the first three
shall have been secured, the
others are to built by individuals
who will be guaranteed a paying
per cent. of interest on their in
vestments.
Such an encouraging outlook
is very gratifying to those who
are interested IN the progress of
our city and substantiates the
claim made by the ARGUS res
cently that Goldsboro is on a
steady boom that is the re-
suit of united effort on the part
of those who possess the means.
The confidence that came near
being destroyed by the stringen-
Icy of the money market has been
restored and all lines of indus-
tries are moving steadily fora
yard.
Let there be a full attendance
at the meetin to night And let
not there be a man with a soul SO
small, a heart so hard and a mind
so m%ercenary that is not suscep-
tible to the philanthropic spirit,
energy and enterprise that
appears so universal among our
people at present.
