AN impressive object lesson as
to whether it pays to advertise
in The ARGUS was exemplifed
here Friday. The Harris Nickle
Plate show failed to advertise
their coming in THE ARGUS, and,
in consequence, the people-the
great pulsing masses all out
through the country who read
The ARGUS, are not here to-day
thronging the streets to standing
room. How different it will be on
the Both of October, when the
great John Robinson & Frank
Inns combined shows, that adver-
tise SO literally in these columns,
will spread their mammoth can
vass here! The town will hardly
hold the people who will assem-
BILE here on that day. We do not
desire this comment, however,
to be interpreted as detrimental
to the Harris show, which is
highly spoken of by the press of
our State wherever it has exhib-
tied. The advertising agent of
the show simply failed to COM
prehend the Importance Of an
advertisement in the ARGUS and
the show is the loser, in conse-
quence, by the meagre attend
ance upon'the exhibition here to-
day.

EMERGENCY HOSPITAL.

The regular monthly meeting was
held on Monday the 3rd, the follow
ing members of the executive com
mittee being present: the Reverend
Messrs. FAIRIES, John and Mcqueen,
Mrs. E.. B.. Borden and Mrs. Sol
We'll. The latter reported that the
telephone company has kindly prom
ised to place in the Hospital a tele-
phone, without any charge for the
same. The treasurer stated that he
had received, through the chairman,
the sum Of $4,000, the gift of an un-
known friend. Bills were ordered
paid. For Rent, September $1,000;
Matron, So, so; groceries, $5,9s, extra
nurses, So. so; sundries, $1.15; Total
$26.13.
Mesdames Borden, Grant and
We'll were appointed a committee to
devise and carry into effect a plan
for securing subscriptions toward
the support Of the Hospital. The
Rev. MI. Mcqueen, owing to the
fact that he would very soon remove
to another community, offered his
resignation as a member OF the ex-
eeutive committee, and also as Score
tary and Treasurer of the Hospital
whereupon the following resolutions
were introduced and unanimously
adopted
1st. That we accept with regret the
resignation of the Reverend Stewart
Mcqueen as a member of the execu
tive committee of the Emergency
Hospital.
End. That we desire to put on rec

great zeal and great efficiency as 6

Remarkable Corn.

The present seems to be an age
for remarkable growths. A
Western paper says Dempsy
Waggy, a farmer in Madison
County, Ind, has a field of corn
grown from seed found in q mound
of the mound builders, which sci
entists say is from 2 1000 to 5000
years old.
The seed grew into stalks ten to
twelve feet high. Three feet from
the ground palm-like leaves grew
out, resembling cactus leaves. Two
feet aboYe grows the corn. Many
stalks bear six ears, and none les:
than four. This averages 25(
bushels to the acre, a yield that
will excite universal attention.
The husks are heavy, which
break and curl back exposing
firm, yellow-grained ear.
While other corn was suffering
on account of the drought this
year, this prehistoric corr wal
green and healthy.
At present the whole crop viii
be preserved for seed.
Certainly this matter has an i'm
portant bearing upon the corr
| market.

VOTERS OF G%OLDSBORO.
Read. and Reflect.

at has taken a long while to
convince even the most intelli-
gent settlements OF the value OF
scientific sanitation, and in large
cities it is a constant fight to
abate nuisances and compel peo-
pie to observe the ordinary laws
of cleanliness. But in the vii
lagos it is much more. The pop
ulation cannot see the necessity
of the new tangled notions. as
they call them, and any interior
ence of q board of health is an
outrage and impertinence. We
know of villages where the doc
tors have been laboring in vain
for years. n Thus efforts are
ridiculed ** and the fevers,
which would never exist, but for
the uncleanliness, remain.
after awhile the people of
bheSe. small places will see the
Importance OF a different policy.
When they realize it will keep
away all settlers whose presence
would be desirable, and when
they see their property depre>
ciating in value"
The above is an extract taken
from one of the great papers OF
New York--Leslie's Weekly.
Now, does not the above apply
to Goldsboro? A town the size O
Goldsboro needs sewerage to
keep it clean, and thus prevent
disease. We must have a good
health record or Goldsboro will
not grow and prosper. In every
civilized country. the people be-
lieve in sewerage. 1t is no ex-
pertinent. Sewerage is a neces-
| sity for Goldsboro.

Gen. WOOdfOrd's Note.

Madrid, Oct. 9-Premier Sag
asia has declared that the note
addressed to the Duke of Tetuan
by United States Minister Wood
ford, concerning which there has
been SO much speculation as to
its actual purport, was worded in
the most polite terms. The note,
he says. conveyed assurances of
the greatest regard on the part
of the United States for Spain,
and it's purpose was to make in
quiry at what period the Spanish
Government thought they would
be able to bring the war in Cuba
to an end.
Gen. Woodford requested an
answer to his note before the end
of October. upon the pretext that
the United States Government
must report the matter to Con-
gress at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
The Spanish Government,
Senior Sagasta says, will answer
the note before Oct, 25.

JUST FAIRLY BEGUN.

Many Northern newspapers are
commenting on the fact hat dur
ing the past year the cotton mills
of the South bought and consumed
more than a million bales of cots
ton, a thing they had never done
before. The total taking by South
ern spinners in 1s96-97, wero
1,O42, 81 bales, against 1, sO4, $50
bales consumed by Northern spin
ners, out of a total crop of $751;
964 bales.
The growth of the cotton man
ufacturing industry in the South
has been phenomenal. AS late as
1881, the Southern mills took
only 205,OO0 bales of cotton. In
seven years their consumption had
doubled, and in less than seventeen
years it has doubled Eve times,
while the consumption in the
South has increased from 400, 900
bales to 1,O42, GIL bales since
1887, the consumption of North
r mills has increased from l.
ITO, 900 to !, 8O4,6SO in the same
period. The increase in the South
in the past ten years has been in
round figures, 800, 900 bales, to
100, 600 in the North.
But rapid as has been the growth
of this industry in the South, it
has not yet reached by any means
the position it should occupy.
The Charleston News and Cour-
iers says:
This is a good and encour-
aging showing for the South to
be sure, but it is not as good as
it ought to be. All the mills in the
South now consume little more
cotton than could be supplied by
South Carolina in a favorable
season, and considerable less
than is supplied by Texas alone.
1t is true that the South now
absorbs with it's own machinery
more than onesthird of the entire
cotton consumption of America
but all the United States together
manufacture only about a third
of the crop grown in the South
so that the South only manu-
features about a ninth of the
cotton it grows, while the ad-
joining section, which grows
none, manufactures twice as
much. There is nothing in this
situation for US to boast about.
We have been very slow about
using our opportunities, and are
still very far from employing
them as we should The
danger is, indeed, that the
people OF, the South will content
themselves in too large measure
with what they have done and
will not add to their mills in the
next twenty years at the rate
which has marked the past fifteen
years. There are many places
in the South which could build
and operate cotton mills success
fully, but which are making NO
effort to that end.
Texas alone could give en-
ployment to twice as many mills
as there are now in the South
without importing a pound of
cotton, and not one of the prin-
cipal cotton growing states nearly
manufactures its own CROP"
We agree with our Charleston
contemporary that the career OF
the South as a manufacturer OF
cotton has just fairly begun. There
is every lease to expect that the
namber and capacity of cotton
mills in the South will increase
rapidly. The revival of indus
tries of all kinds will benefit the
South fully as much as any other
section and capital will not be sc
slow to take advantage of the ex.
oeptionally fine opportunities of
fered here for the manufacture OF
cotton goods.
