SALEM, Ore. Feb. 6-There are now

Representative Huntington of Wasco

from further participation. This is
the first detection and it is expected to
be followed by others. 1t seems
probable that Oregon will have but
one United States senator for the next
two years, for it is said that the
Mitchell men in the Legislature have
determined to prevent the election of
senator if their man cannot be chosen.

Old Glory to the Front.

Trenton, N. J., August q
Police Sergeant Hiner stopped a
procession of Slavs and Hunga-
rians on their way to a picnic
yesterday and compelled the
marshal to advance the Ameris
can flag from the rear of the line
to the place Of honor in front.
Soon after the procession started
it was noticed that a large blue
silk flag was carried just behind
the band, while the Stars and
Stripes were carried by a tall
man at the rear of the line. TIE
marshal was notified that the
American flag should be put in
front, but he paid no attention to
the warning. Word was then
sent to Police Headquarters, and
Sergeant Hiner stopped the
parade aud told the marshal that
there would probably be trouble
unless the positions of the two
flags were reversed. There was a
conference of the leaders of the
society, and then the marshal
ordered Old Glory to the front
and the parade was continued.
The marshal told the Sergeant
that he didn't know that it made
any difference which flag was in
front.

CAPT. S. ID. PHILLIPS DEAD

Daily Argus last Tuesday.
Just two weeks ago yesterday
the local columns of the ARGUS
contained a brief sketch of the life
of the venerable Capt. Stephen D.
Phillips, who had just rounded up
full four score years, and now, so
soon afterward, we have to chron-
icle with regreth his departure from
this life, which occurred at his
home on West Centre street this
morning.
When quite a young man he
came from his birthplace in Greene
county and made his home near
the w. & w. railroad, where now
stands the beautiful and thriving
city of Goldsboro. He was here
before the town was located and
has seen 1t grow from a mere rail-
road station to its present proud
proportions. While there are
others in our midst who are, per-
haps, older in years than he, still
his citizenship antedates that of
any one living or dead. Since his
coming to the site on which is now
located the city of Goldsboro,
many scenes of peace and plenty,
pestilence and disease, war and
bloodshed have passed before his
vision, and he has participated in
all with pleasure and pain, JOY and
sorrow, bravery and defeat, and
come out of all with clean hands
and a clear conscience. He only
surrendered his life to the One
who gave it.
For more than sixty years he
has been a member Of the Order
of Odd Fellows, and was at his
death the oldest Odd Fellow in
the State, and perhaps the United
States.
He had been an invalid for the
past few years of his life. and
while his death was not unex-
pected, still it will cause deep
anguish to his more intimate
friends and his immediate fans
lily, TO whom he has left the rich
legacy Of a fair name and a long
life of noble deeds.
He was at one time Captain of
the old Goldsboro Rifles, before
the war, and in his honor the flag
is trailing at half-mast over the
armory of the Rifles today.

THE OPENING DAY.

this city. A Large Break and
High Prices.
Daily Argus last Tuesday.

Daily Argus last Tuesday.
To-day witnessed the opening
of the Goldsboro tobacco market
for the season. The date is rath>
er early and the large number of
buyers on the market and the
managers of the different wares
houses we're not expecting the
several thousand pounds of
bright leaf tobacco that came in
from country carts during the
day yesterday. last night and
this morning.
The sale commenced at 10
o'clock this morning and lasted
until 2 o'clock in the afternoon,
The prices paid were far in adj
vance of that contemplated by
the planters aud great surprise
and satisfaction was expressed
by those who had hitherto been
patrons of other markets.
There r several new buyers
on this market this season and
the bidding this morning was the
most spirited that has ever taken
place on our warehouse floors
and was highly amusing to the
large number of spectators press
ent.
If the high prices paid to-day
are a sample of what may be
expected throughout the season
the planters who r patrons of
this market will be literally re-
warded for the production of
their tobacco crops this year.

It is not surprising, then, that
David Prince is succeeding in his

been a success. AS a pupil
of the Goldsboro Graded

there, carrying off all the honors
of that institution that college and

1t was then that MI Prince came
to the staff of the ARGUS, and sub
sequently accepted a position as
travelling correspondent of the
New Orleans Times-D Democrat in
the southwest. But being a true son
of the Old North State, and pa
ltriotic for her up%building, he soon
came back to her domain and ac-
Icepted the position of principal OF
Vine Hill, where he is achieving
Inherited success. He early united
himself with the Goldsboro Mis-.

DEAR AReUs-Rain is badly
needed in some sections.
Well, the watermelon time has
arrived in full blast, and the little
picaninies can sit in the shade
and eat watermelon to their
hearts content.
The people in this section
seem to be very much opposed
to the additional school tax that
was imposed upon the tax-pay-
ers of the State by the late leg
islature. Well, if you want to
hit right next to a mans heart,
and especially d farmers, you
just mention an additional tax of
any kind.
A good number Of people from
this section went on Mr.. r. E.

Baltimore and Washington last
Tuesday, and all anticipated a
fine time.
Mr. Urban Lewis, was in your
city Saturday on business.

liven themselves and get up a
good old neighborhood picnic
and lay aside the busy cares OF
life and enjoy themselves in pleas
ant conversations and feast on
some Of those large and delicious
watermelons that are so numer-
Gus on the "Southside."
Several thousand pounds of
tobacco from this section was
on the Goldsboro market last
Tuesday, at the opening sale, and
our farmers returned home
with smiling faces, much graft

farmers have given special atten-
ton to the art of cultivating the
golden leaf and now as the
harvesting time is upon them
they can look with jovial antici-
patton to the great flood of pros

State, and that The ARGUS can

Mr.. L. r. Rich made business
calls at Goldsboro last Saturday.
