A sOLILOQUIzED soLILOQUY

Were inclined to write book,
Regardless of the pains it took,
On fusion leg Station,
I'd sit down by some babbiing brook
: nd over North Carolina look,
And view her situation in Imagination
I'd scan the source from whence it came,
Regardless of the sin and shame
To our Stale and nation.
How nobly ~ it has worked for fame
A6d richly got tall the same
For vituperation.
I'd review the laws enacted in 1886
The little done at Raleigh
By the Rep-Populistic hive
That made Butler Senator.
= To ''save our State" and nation.
And Pritchard was an help meet''
In the cooperation.
And so the tide moved on till 1897,
And Butler reigned at Washington,
That money making heaven
And Pr tchard S Jeter
Desired to be repeater"
And thus succeed himself,
But Ma arv Ann" did his utmost
To lay IN on tn" shelf,
For Pritchard was said to be so full of
gold-bugism,
That Butler didn't like it, in his
fanaticism.
And vowed he would defeat him in his
For ''Jeter" as a Populist was rot
worth cent,
And Butler wanted Thompson. to make
himself content
Then 'came the tug of war,
As Ex-Governor Carr
Was superceded by one Daniel Russell
Who had mighty russell
With the makers of our laws,''
Who did not pause
In their folly while in Raleigh
To tear things out of their sockets
And put money in their pockets.
Then, to the adherence
OF one Abbott Lawrence,
A jobber in the House
Who couldn t be still as a mouse,
For, as enrolling clerk,
He must come and go with jerk,
And he vowed he'd work like Turk,
And even go to prison
Before he'd take any niger in his IN, "
For which he WIS detested
And he had his bosses arrested.
Oh what deluded delusion,
What profusion of etfuslons.
What a confused confusion of fusions,
Resulting from this fusion,
In our grand and noble State
1t Is TOO sad to relate
The laws which they create.
The Infamous infaruy of the Senator
from wayne
Shows that he is only work n for gain,
In which he merely takes it for
Granted
That his Goldsboro people are highly
enchanted
By the manly ~ course he has beer

But it is only trouble he is brewing;
1t is great pity he is so witty,
| Trying to boss this noble city:
In this he is sadly, sorely mistaken,
And may he ever remain fosaken
By those in whom he trusted,
And be forever politically busted.
And now they have adjourned
And to their homes returned,
A lesson they have learned
That to avoid scenes dramatic

Are anti-Democratic,

Before the next election,

But as things now exist,

Then by the hook of u crook

WE BEG TO DIFFER.

AS seen elsewhere in this issue,
the New York Suns Washington
correspondent reports Senator
Ransom as saying, that the situa-
ton in North Carolina is every
discouraging;;'' that ''the party is
in very bad shape, and the out
look is not bright for the Democ-
racy."
The ARGUS begs to differ with
our distinguished friend, the Sen
ator, and is at loss to divine from
what source he derived his lugu-
brious opinion. He certainly can
not haye arrived at it from the
stand and course of the Demo
cratic contingent in the late Gen
eral Assembly; for in that body
in both branches-the Democracy
was practically united and their
position impregnable, and they
came out of that Heterogeneous
cenclave of ''pie swappers'' with
the banner of Democracy full higE
advanced, and unfurled for glo-
rious victory in the next cam-
paign.
Perhaps the Senator has been
reading after those newspapers in
North Carolina that are having d
great deal to say at this time
! about government by injunc
tion," and intimating, if they are
not counselling, aiding and abet-
ting, government by revolution,
anarchy and communism,
1t would really be interesting
for the Senator to give to the pub
lie at this time the facts and
sources from which he arrived al
the opinion expressed by him to
the reporter of the New York
Sun, if, indeed, he is correctly
reported therein.
In the meantime, as ever, THE
ARGUS stands by the Democratic
administrations of the past in
North Caroline, without fear Of
government by Injunction OF
government by revolution, ane
looks confidently to the return Of
the State in the next election te
government by Democracy, which
was overthrown in North Carroll
ma, not by the people for princi'
pies sake, but by combination,
without principle, for pelf and
pie.

A BUSINESS CAREER

1t is interesting to the average
citizen to watch the growth OF
mercantile enterprises in Colds
boro and to notice to what posi-
bilities they can attain when CON
Quoted on basis of fair dealing
and without false representation.
It is true that the public are not
looking for values without an aC
equate exchange, and the person
or firm who advertises to give you
goods at an unreasonably low
price will either fail in business OF
s trying to deceive syou, and
sooner or later the public will de-
tect this superficial show.
1t is the man whose statement
can be relied on and whose prices
are alike just to himself and the
purchaser that always succeeds in
business.
Such methods have character
lied the business career of Mr..
Sam. j. Cohencius, the popular
clothing and gents furnishing
dealer, at Odd Fellows corner,
who, some twelve years ago,
launched out for himself on the
venturesome sea Of trade in this
city, with at first, a modest stock
at a small stand on Walnut street.
From the beginning the growth
of his business has been continu>
al and he has from time to time
made additions of different lines
and now the trading public. who
hold hiu in high esteem and who
unreservedly bestow their conf
dence upon him, will learn with
pleasure that he has added a no.
ton department that is presided
over by Misses Bessie Gardner
aod Katie Derr, two popular
young ladies who are we'll &C.
quainted with the trade.
This is only one of the many
instances that could be cited OF
the thrift of mercantile enter
priSes in Goldsboro that have
been conducted along similar
lines, and perhaps no townir the
State can boast of as many large
and flourishing business houses
that have sprung from mere
shops. While their ponderous
growth has in some degree been
the result of the energy and en-
terprise of their owners, yet the
keynote to the success they
nave attained is the fair dealing
and the integrity of the represen-
tations made to the public.

Brigham Young. native of
Vermont, born in 1901, was about
four years older than Smith, and
[ am sorry to say, was educated
in the Baptist church, joined the
Mormons at Kirthland. Ohio, in
1882, entered the % nistry in
said church three years later; was
elected president and prophet Of
the church as Smiths successor.
He at once sought new quarters
for his people, and ia 1847 they
settled in the Salt Lake Valley,
then Mexican Territory, now
Utah. They soon built the great
city, known as Salt Lake City.
In 1S49 Young called conven
ton Of his church and framed a
constitution ard organic ID a
State, which he called Desert.
Congress refused t, admit the
new State. but organized The ter>
ritory Of Utah. and appointed
Young Governor.
Conflicts soon arose between
Young and the Federal Govern

were expelled. but Young still
showed a determination to con-

Mountain Meadow they we've
halted. The strangers held them
at bay for five days. Finally, two
Mormons, John D. Lee and Isaac
Haight, induced them to lay
their arm! down, assuring them
that they should not be hurt.
They were led by Lee and Haight
to mob of Indians arranged by
the Mormons and 1923 of the
strangers were murdered. The
scheme was kept a secret for II
years; but in 1876 it leaked out,
and the Government investigated
the matter. Lee was arres' ed.
tried, and on March 23rd, 1877,
was executed.
In 1862 Congress enacted laws
against polygamy, but Young
and his followers did not notice
it. They defied the United States
officers, when they would come
over to execute the laws. Young
would march out armed forces
against them. In 1882 Congress
passed strict laws against poly
gamy.
During the next eight years
1 100 polygamists were arrested,
tried and punished During this
time the Mormons did every
thing they could to resist the
law. Finally, in 1890 the Nor

of the United States, and not
practice polygamy any more.

There is no standing still in
nature or religion. Everything
is in motion, everything is pro
crossing.
There isn't a man in the world
who has seuse enough to be ac-
countable to God, but can under
stand enough of the Bible to work
out his own salvation in fear and
trembling.
In the great warfare with sin
God needs men who are not afraid
or ashamed to show their colors
You can't find from cover to
cover of your Bible a place where
God ever used coward or a dis
couraged man.
Sin cannot prevail against that
man who stands in the strength of
his God and is guided by His
word.
During the one hundred and
ten years of Johns life he never
lost his faith or his courage,
therefore was God able to make a
leader of him.
Joshua had faith to take God at
His word and courage to 60 for
ward in the exercise of his faith
his life was success.
Find preacher who lacks
courage and you will find death in
his church.
The trouble with American people
is not that we are stingy, but that
we do not know how to give.
Giving for a purpose and with 8
purpose makes giving success
and a pleasure.
