We are sorry to learn of the
serious illness of Mr.. Joel
Rhodes O Jimmie, whom we
learn had a yellow chill Satur-
day. His many friends wish him
an early restoration to health.
Whenever We see a young man
walking the railroad leading his
horse, evidently he is under the
magnetic influence of that mex
pressible emotion which comes
in the life Of every young man,
at any rate, we will await devel-
opments.
Everything is "calm and Sc
rene" now, and our community
is busy trying to finish housing
crops before carrying into effect
an unyielding determination to
assist materially in restoring
good government in our dear old
State at the coming election. We
hear news of encouragement on
every hand, and Democracy is
gaining ground every day.
Our club met at Walter school
house last Friday night, and a
good crowd was present. Besides
the usual business, the club was
highly entertained by speeches
from Mayor Peterson and Mr.. II.
B. Parker, from your city. They
both have a host of friends in
our community who are always
glad to hear from them. The
club meets at Pine Forest next
Friday night. Everybody invited
to attend.
Our community was pretty well
represented at the association at,
Nahunta Sunday, aud we we're
informed there was an immense
crowd present. AS we have said
before. we have a high regard
for u Primitive Baptist breth-
rem, and think that in connection
with their numerous commends
able traits Of character, there is
one other, no doubt, which helps
to give them a "conscience void
of offence. "sand that is they are

GREENE COUNTY POLITICS
GOldsbOrO Snow Hill and Eastern
Rail Road.

DdIi hO6u.
Snow Hill, N. c., Oct. II, '9s.
DEAR "JoE ARGUs:"-The
Great Democratic Convention that
assembled in Snow Hill on Oct. 1,
was the largest convention ever
held in this county, and l might
say in any of our sister counties,
although they r considerably
larger. There were at least eleven
or twelve hundred people present
and at least one thousand
participate in the convention
and will this year act with the
white mans party l am indeed
more than glad to see- our Populist
friends returning to their first love.
l don't think there will be any Re-
pubiicans that will return, but
there are enough, white men out.
side of the Republican ranks to
carry old Greene and place her
back in the Democratic column,
where she rightfully belongs.
We will elect the entire ticket
this year by handsome majorities.
The Republican and "annex'
held their primaries on last Sat-
urday. | have been informed that
the Populists barely had enough at
their meetings to hold their con-
vention,
We send our congratulations to
you Wayne county, that we will
join honors after Nov. s, in one
glorious victory.
We are looking forward to the
day, which is not far distant, with
great pleasure when Snow Hill and
Goldsboro will be closer allied
than they r now, connected by
the iron horse. The proposed
Golds5oro Snow Hill and Eastern
Rail Read is no longer a fake but
Is now a sure fact, yet our Colds
boro friends are still ignoring the
fact and we fear will lose the
golden opportunity hat now
awaits them for the little paultry
sum Of a few dollars. Selma,
Plkeville and Fremont, and the
country all along the line have in
deed offered valuable inducements,
Inducements such as the company
have now under consideration and
there will be q charter secured for
this route at once, but I would
rather see this road go to Colds
boro than any other point. Yet if
Goidsboro does not wish it the
company certainly will not force
it on them. I we'll remember a
few years ago, when the short cut
was built, that for a few dollars
Goldsboro was left to mourn her
loss, which she has been doing ever
since.
Now this road would benefit
Goldsboro no little, but if they
lay back on their oars and let it
pass them they will be side
tracked. Again. it would not take
but little effort on the part of
Goldsboro to secure this great
prize. The road will run from
Selma or Goldsboro to Douglas
Bay. at the extreme eastern shore
of Hyde county, on Pamlico
Sound, and will open up one of
the best fish and oyster indus
tries in the State, besides other
great industries, and will run
through one of the best farming
sections Of the State and of which
Goldsboro might be the terminus
If she would.

In the case of George FL. Roston, convict
ed recently in Criminal Court No. of vio-
latlng the pension law, motions for a new
trial and in arrest of judgment were this
afternoon filed by Mr.. Howell Titus, attor-
n"y for the defendant. In asking a new
trial, 1t is set forth that the verdict was
contrary TO the law and to the evidence
and that it was not supported by the
weight of evidence; also that the court
erred in admitting certain testimony in evil
dence and in certain instructions to the
jury.
Inc motion for arrest of judgment con-
talhs statements that the defendant had
the legal right TO challenge peremptoriiy to
certain given members of the jurors of the
regular panel, as allowed in other causes of
leIony; that the indictments are Ambiguous
ana 90 not sufficiently inform the defendant
now to plead thereto; that the indictments
are vague. Indefinite and insufficient in
law; that the defendant should have oeen
allowed fair trial by both white and COL
ored jurors, whose names appeared lpon
the regular panel and that the govern
ment had no legal right to exclude without
cause any one or more coIored persons who
