MEMPHIS ASKS FOR AID.
Six Thousand Pauper Refugees
Are Chartered on the City,
and Help from Outside is
Necessary.

Necessary.
Memphis, March 26. To day
the citizens relief committee gave
out an official statement notifying
the outside world that Memphis is
taking care of over six thous md
pauper negro flood refugees and
half as many head of stock This
step was taken in order to
Show that outside aid is necessary.
This morning President Dicken-
son.. of the Little Rock Board of
Trade; arrived with 81, 500, the
amount donated by the citizens of
Little Rock. The Memphis re
lief committee took the sum and
will apply it properly. All le-
wees are reported in good condi-
ton to-day and the general situa>
ton is most encouraging.
Another slight fall in the river
here is noted tonight. The river
at Cairo continues to rise, while at
Paducah it is reported stationary.
Dispatches from all points South
of Memphis show that the Missis-
sippi is rising slowly. The con
tlnued fair weather is a favorable
condition. News received from
all points indicate that the system
of levees is still intact. No more
breaks are reported on the Ar
Arkansas side. All trains are
running out of Memphis on sched-
uIe time with two exceptions.
The members OF the relief COM
mittce, having received the ship
ment of tents from Washington,
have almost completed the ar
ranyements of Camp Congo,
where the colored refugees will be
quartered and provided for as long
rs necessary.
According to the report issued
by the local Weather Bureau at
| St. Louis to~day the river there
will continue to rise and will
reach about % 4 feet by Satur~
day. The Missouri and upper
Mississippi rivers will also con~
tinue to come up, rise of at
least one foot being indicated
from Keokuk south to Hannibal
aud about one half foot from
Hannibal to the mouth Of the
Missouri river by Saturday morn
ing.
For the past twentysfour hours
the following rises have been re
corded; Kansas City and Boone
vile, one foot; Hannibal, $40
foot; Keokuk, Iowa, 6. 10 foot.

The artistic arrangement of the
handsome cartoons and beautiful
placards advertising the world re-
nowned Paine's Celery Compound
in the large show windows of the
drug store of j. II. Hill & Son, at
the Hotel Kennon corner, attracts
the attention of those who have an
eve for the beautiful. Besides
the lovely pictures, on which the
lovers of art may feast their eyes,
the display contains something of
interest to suffering humanity.
The former class will admire the
enchanting scene that is presented
to the view and pass on, while the
latter will read and dwell upon the
wonderful curative powers of this
panacea for great many of the
ills to which the l4uman flesh is
heir.
1t would be like an attempt to
"gild refined gold, or paint the
lily white'' for us to enter into a
disquisition upon the marvellous
curative powers of Paine's Celery
Compound, which is known to the e
millions, but still when its manu-
facturers evidence such public
spirit and broad philanthrophy in
bringing the merits of their medi-
cine right down to the attention,
not only of the reading public, but
of the passing individual, they de
servo to have their efforts in this
regard commended, and this the
ARGUS, on its part, does right
cordially.
There can be no question of the
fact, in the face of the many re
liable statements published from
high authorities in regard to the
merits of Paine's Celery Com
pound, that it IS the highest ac-
QUESTION of scientific research
known to this age. not only as a
curative, but as a preventive as
well, and acting on the old adage
that can ounce of preventive is
worth pound of cure" Paine's
Celery Compound addresses itself
to the wise as we'll as the other
wise.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill boutle or common water glass
with urine aud let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
diseased condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too fre-
quent desire to ufinate or pain in the
back, is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO Do.
There is comfort ia the knowledge so
often EXPRESSED, that DR. Ailmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney rem
ady fulflls every wish IN relieving
pain in the b ack, kidneys, liver, blad-
der and every part of the urinary pas
sages. 1t corrects inability to hold
urine and sealdit G pain in passing it,
or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and oy rcomes that un-
pleasant necessity of being compelled
TO get u . many times during the night
to urinate I he mild ana the extrao1-
binary effect of SW mp Root is soon
realized. It stands the hight.st for its

Civil Service i'm Danger.

Washington. March 26.-There
arc surface and sub surface indi-
cations in political circles to war
rant the prediction that the bill OF
Senator Allen, of Nebraska, pre-
yiding for the repeal of the civil
service law is likely to receive
early consideration by the Con
gress during this extraordinary
session. The views of President
Cleveland are failing into into in
nocuous desuetude since the re-
tirement of that masterful man
from the Chief Executive position.
The Democratic and Populist Ma
tional Conventions denounce the
civil service law, and there are
not more than five Democratic
Senators, nor more than twelve
Democratic Rep esentatiyes, who
are willing to defend the civil ser
vice law under existing condi-
tions. Populist Presidential Can
didate Bryan openly and vigorous
ly assailed the law; and declared
that if elected he would use every
power of his Office to secure the
repeal of the law. The Populists
in both houses of Congress, fully
agree with Mr.. Bryan, and are
ready to vote fol the complete de-
struction of that law, which men
of experience regard as a colossal
humbug and popular delusion,
Senator Allen, of Nebraska, is
man of superior ability and
great force of character. He is a
man of honest life and honest
purpose, and, Populist though he
is, believes that he is right ano
will earnestly press his bill upor
the consideration of the Senate
If vote can be reached upon the
subject the bill will undoubtedly
pass the Senate. La that event il
could be taken up from the Speak
er's table and passed in the House
of Representatives by an almos
unanimous vote.

THE SOUTH IN THE NORTH

That the North realizes the op-
portunities of the South is shown
in the following from an article in
The Press, of Wisconsin
"The Sout is richer far in mats
ural resources than men have yet
realized. She has wealth of sun
and soil, of fruit and forest and
mineral, and it is only necessary
that her tremendous energies shall
be concentrated and directed to
the development of her natural
wealth to astonish the civilized
world.
Capital will go with security
as a condition precedenD wherever
it shall find the richest reward
and that capital is satisfied with
the prospect in The South is made
manifest by the recent removal OF
manufacturing plants from thei1
old fields in the North to newer
and richer fields in the South.
Population and wealth will fol
low them, and it is no wild freak
of fancy that foresees the time
when the relative strength of the
North and South in men an6

Another City Feature Added to
GOldsbOrO: 4 Local Orchestra.

Goldsboro is soon TO nave q
resident orchestra. This an
nouncement will no doubt - read
with pleasure by the genera pub
lie. Ii is an organization that has
been sadly needed fcr mauy
years and one that no CITY the
size OF Goldsboro should be With-
out.
Some few weeks ago when the
announcement was made that
minstrel company was being or
ganized by home talent and that
a performance was scheduled to
take place in the near future,
every body acq tainted with such
things recognized the great sac>
ritice Of time that would be re-
quired from each member of the
company and the drdqous labors
that would be involved in such a
vast undertaking. That the ems
terprise was brought to sue
Cessful climax was demonstrated
on the stage OF the Messenger
Opera House week before last,
when the Company gave two
performance to large audiences
each night. Both performances
would compare favorably with
that Of any similar organization
on the road and showed that the
performers had spent much tine
in preparing something that
would meet the popular approv~
al Of the theatresgoing public.
While a majority Of those who
attended these performances
were well pleased. yet those who
were accustomed to Witnessing
shows of this particular class
could not help but feel
that there was something lacking
to- c mplete the performance,
and now 1t is the object Of the
company to supply this essen
,tial want with a full f4dged ors
chestra.
From the beginning it was the
intention of the Minstrel and
Banjo Club to make the organs
zation permanent and continue tc
give performance once month
with an entire change of pro
gramme, and when the next date
is named the public may expect
to see the orchestra added, with
the following young gentlemen
as participants
Solo Violinist: Brodie Scott.
/ Second Violinist: w. A. Rob
ertson.
Claironet: Fred McDoLa.d.
/ Cornet: w, r. Phillips.

perform the duties encumberet

SATURDAY SERMONS

IF many men would devote
their energies one half as earn>
estly to the performance of duty
as they do in finding some way
to avoid them, how much more
satisfactory their lives would be
10 themselves and to others.
Secret prayer and communion
with God is the never-failing
fountain Of strength and Joy to
CHRISTIAN.
The pastor who enters into the
feelings and circumstances of his
people-being one Of them III
their sorrows as we'll as their
joys-will live in their affections.
Divine grace even in the heart
of the weak and sinful man, is
invincible. Drown it in the wa
ters Of adversely, it rises more
beautiful, as not being drowned,
indeed, but only washed; throw
y
it comes out purer and loses
nothing but the dross. s.-Arch-
bishop Leighton.
The failure Of the church to
care for the poor and the suf-
fering, leaving it for separate
organ z=d charitable enterprises
aud phiianthropic- individuals to
bear almost the entire burden of
this work, has brought about a
sta'e Of affairs very much to be
deplored. The gospel Of hus
manitarianism is praised and
lauded. and the founder of an or
phanage or the builder Of an
asylum receives the encomiums
of the press and people, while
the gospel of crucified and exs
alted Christ is ignored and those
who believe on His nams seldom
receive any special recognition
because Of their religious faith.
Why is this? is the cry of many
Christians and preachers. 1t is
|
onstrate her faith by her works,
s'Faith without works is dead, .
and many a church is to day dy-
ing a suicidal death because she
| leaves this great part OF heI
work in the world to be done by
men outside her walls. A. church
that is active in the administra
ton of charity and relief of bod
lily needs and suffering, is al
ways a live church in all other
ways. A church that fails along
this line is not following Chris
| in "Doing the works of Him
that sent me-" and will surely
fall short of the regard Of
| faithful church. No wonder The
world often condemns the churct
for her faithlessness and speaks
approvingly of mere secular or
gan cations aud orders, that make
it an object to lift up aud care fol
