HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common water glass
with urine and let it stand twentyfour
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
a diseased condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too fire.
quent desire to urinate or pain in the
back, is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge SO
often expressed, that Dr.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney rem
edy fultills every wish in relieving
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, blad-
der and every part of the urinary pas
sages. 1t corrects inability to hold
urine and scalding pain in passing it,
or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that un-
pleasant necessity of being compelled
to get up many times during the night
to urinate The mild and the extraor-
dinary effect of Swamp Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for it's
wonderful cures of the most distressing
cases. Ii you need medicine you
should have the best. Sold by drug
gists, price so cts and 81. For a sam
pie bottle and pamphlet, both sent free
by mail, ment on the ARGUS and send

mer & Co, Binghamton, N, Y. The

John Bull Fires His Guns.

Nassau, F. P. April 2.-The
British cruiser Partridge, Capt.
Van Ingen commanding, reports
that on Sunday last she fired on
a suspicious vessel that resem>
bled the old filibuster Bermuda.
The Partridge started on cruise
on March 25, and early on Suns
day she sighted the steamship,
which she at first thought was a
West Indian fruiter. The vessel
refused to show her colors, and
the Partridge fired two blank
shots and then solid shot at the
steamship. The range was too
long for the shot to be effective,
and the Partridge started in pur.
suit. The cruiser beng the Slows
er vessel, the suspicious steam
ship escaped.
The Partridge returned to
Walting's Island to look after a
schooner that was with the steam
ship. but she, too, escaped. 1t is
supposed that the vessels were q
part of a tilibustering expedition
that started from Nassau fol
Cuba. The Partridge will leave
again to-day for another search
after them.

Mysterious Light in the Sky

Kansas City, Mo, April. g.
The mysterious light that has
been seen in the sky in several
parts Of the West during the
past few weeks appeared above
Kansas City early this evening,
and soon the whole population
was watching it.
The light is as great as that
produced by twenty stars, white.
clear, and steady. and may be
seen at long distance. It is be
lieved that it is produced by a
powerful search light set in an
airship. It is directed toward
the earth, and is travelling east
at the rate of sixty miles an
hour.
The appearance of the light
caused great excitement 1t
soon became known throughout
the city that 1t could be seen.
People hurried to the house tops,
the streets, and the public
squares. The sidewalks were
crowded with people craning
their necks to watch the light.
The passengers on the street
railways caught the infection
and soon were hanging out the
car windows to watch the light.
1t has been reported from q
number of places west Of here
that this strange light had ap-
peared in the heavens. 1t was
first seen on the Pacific coast
about five months ago. In the
places where it was first sighted
it caused a religious sensation,
many of the more ignorant peo-
pie believing that the end of the
world had come.

THE ESOUTH'S OPPORTUNITY

Mr.. G. P. Huntington, presi-
dent or the Southern Pacific
Railroad Co.. in the course of a
recent letter to the editor of the
Baltimore Manufacturers Record
in which he touched on the diss
position of some southern legiss
latures to enact laws hostile to
corporations of all kinks, said:
l do think, however, that the
people of the South have for a
long lime been standing in their
own light and are largely re-
sponsible for the retardment Of
their own prosperity from which
they have sufieraa. Capital is
tinid, because its use is always
attended with the natural risk of
errors of judgment and emer>
gencies of the times. When to
this risk is added the dangers
threatened by legislatures which
turn a cold shoulder to capital,
or perhaps evince hostility to it
by their open efforts to curtails
its independence, attack it's
security and practically cons
fiscate the property represented
by it, what wonder is it that men
who would like to develop with
their money the resources which
await their energy, enterprise
and thrift shring from the has
ards and decline to place thems
selves in the power of those who,
by their actions, seem to show
only desire to hamper and des.
troy them?
The South of to-day is a great
empire of industry lying fallow,
as it were, for the lack of seed.
There is plenty of money in the
country, and it is casting about
for profitable employment. The
Middle West has welcomed it.,
and grown fat on its utilization
in numberless channels of trade,
commerce and manufacture, Let
the South be hospitaole to her
guest, and show him that, while
within her borders. he is safe,
and her advance in everything g
that goes to build up country
and make it great Will be marve-
lously repaid and permanently
assure.

CARNIVAL OF KOMMERCE.
An Entertainment in Which All
the Business Houses and In
dustria Enterprises Will BE
PersOnified.

An exceedingly interesting at
traction is coming. and rare
treat is in store for the people of
Goldsboro.
On the 10Th of this month the
"Karuival Of Kommerce" will be
held. 1t will be for the benefit
of theLadies Benevolent Society,
and will be an occasion long to
be remem bered.
Every thing is new and attrac-
tive, and those who are to take
part in it and who are connected
with it in any way, are tak~
ing hold with great activity,
and the "KarnivM of Kommerce"
promises to be the biggest
attraction of the season. The very
worthy cause for which it is to be
held should of itself draw large
crowds, but none need to fear in
the least but what they will get the
full worth of their money and
many times over
j. w. Miller, assisted by the
ladies of Goldsboro, is getting il
up, and we have no hesitancy IN
saying that it will prove a big
success.

Farm Life.

The Norfolk Virginian thinks
that young men who abandon
farm life for that Of the cities
under the impression that for
tunes or even a better living can
be had there than on the fa1 10,
make a mistake. MANY young
man, says the Vlrginian. ''gives
up a good home in the country
for city life, only TO discover
sooner or later that the move was
a false one, and the trouble is
that the mistake is discovered at
time when it is 100 late to amend
it. Still, the practice goes on.
and the numbers who abandon
the farm to try their fortunes in
the cities increases yearly"
There is much in this worthy
of the consideration of the young
man residing on a farm, who
contemplates removing to city.
Farm life is not one Of ease, We
know, and it cannot be denied
that farming in the present day
is not very remunerative. But ii
is a serious question how far the
decline of profits in farming is
due to stripping our farms of the
intelligent labor, the Industry,
and the energy that are repre-
sented in the young men who
have left them and flocked to the
cities.

When mans stomach is out of order,
and his digestion don't work; when his liver
gets to be sluggish and won't clear the bile
out of his blood it is time for him to look
out for himself. He gets no nourishrnent
out of his food. His blood gets thicker and
thicker with impurities. His nerves get irri-
tated. He loses energy and fighting force.
He may say, Il can stand it, 1 will feel
better tomorrow" but the chances are he
will feel worse tomorrow and worse still
next day. He Ought to put himself right at
once. He needs DR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. 1t is made for just this condition.
1t rouses up the digestive and nutrltve
from the food all the nutritious elements
and transform them into rich, nourishing

The S ates and Trusts.

The New York Journal of
Commerce is of the opinion that
one of the results of the decision
of the Supreme Court in the
Trans Missouri Freight Asso>
citation case will be the af1irma-
ton of the Texas antistrust law.
This law was held to be uncon~
stitutioLal by Judge Swayne, of
the United States District Court.
on the ground that it did not
discriminate between combina~
tions that were injurious and
those that were innocent and
useful.
In the Trans Missouri Freight
Association case Justice Peck
ham held that the validity Of the
national anti~trust act was not
affected by its inclusion o. COM
binations that were not oppres-
sive or extortionate. The inf err
ence is that should the Texas act
be affirmed, the doors would be
opened for the States to "act eff
fectively" in the matter of trusts,
as suggested in MIR. Cleveland's S
last annual message to Congress-,
It will be remembered that Mr..
Cleveland questioned whether
the evils of trusts and monopo-
lies could ''oe adequately treated
through Federal action unless
they seek directly and purposely
to include in their objects trans~
portation or intercourse betwee
States or between the Uni. Ed
States and foreign countries, F"
but, he added, even though it
might be found that Federal au-
thority was not broad enough to
fully reach the case, there could
be no doubt Of the power of the
several States to apply the rem>
edy.
On the other hand, there were
many who DOUBTED the power of
the States to ''act effectively" in
the premises. They agreed with
Mr.. Cleveland that the complex
character Of our government, Oh
rather that of the Constitution,
while making Federal authority
lsupreme within it's sphere, has
carefully limited that sphere by
metes and bounds" But they
could not agree with him in the
further statement that those
metes and bounds could not be
transgressed, for the simple rea'
son that as a practical fact, they
haye been frequently t-ansgress
ed through government by in
Junction" However, the appli'
cation of the decision of the
Supreme Court in the Freigh
Association case to the Texas &C
would seem to sustain the gist O
Mr.. Cleveland's contention. A
the least, it appears to be poin
gained for the several States il
the direction of encouragin
needed State legislation in thi
matter. This we say without es
saying to pass upon the merits
of the Texas law, which. if
shall be affirmed and proves on
erous, unjust, and oppressive
will, in default Of relief 'bein:
afforded in the State courts, prob
ably, like most other bad laws
repeal itself. But even should tn
Texas act not be affrmed-evel
should Judge Swayne's objec-
: tions be sustained-J ustice Peck
ham has, we take it, laid dow
: general broad grounds tina
should encourage the States t
test their powers to legislate in
: telligently and fairly touchin
. trusts, monopolies, ana comoin
: ations-Richmond Dispatch.
