The years as they come and go
hold varied experiences for the
newspaper man: some pleasant,
some profitable, some both pleas
ant aud profitable, and some alto
gether otherwise. For fourteen
years the ARGUS has enjoyed the
regular annual visit of MI. Geo.
A. Letford, the courteous and cor
dial and 'sstrlctly business" re-
preventative of the old, popular
and reliable proprietary medicine
house of II. E. Bucklen & Co.,
of Chicago, and his visits are
always of the kind that make
Us glad he came and leave
pleasant anticipations of prompt
quarterly payments to cheer US
through the intervening months.
Mr.. Lelford was in the city to-day
on his regular rounds of the
~"'craft," and, as usual, renewed
the sad" for his house for an
other year, with the gratifying as
surance that it pays them to ad-
vertise in the ARGUS.

rode out to the seat of war where
they found a few of the negroes
still congregated. The Mayor
made a personal appeal to sev>
eral of the better class Of colored
people, who offered to assist him
in restoring order. The mayor
told them that he would be res
sponsible for the soldiers and
that Col. Burgwyn had promised
to put a strong guard on duty to
keep all soldiers away from that
section Of the city. There was no
further trouble, though it was
difficult to get the darkies to
move.
The best colored people of
East Raleigh deprecated the oc-
currence. They stated that a lot
Of worthless characters were res
sponsibIe for it.
The soldiers, it is said. went
to a certain place on Hargett
street, where whiskey could be
purchased on Sunday.
Sunday night a strong provost
guard was thrown over the city
and special officers placed on
duty. There was no disturbance
during the night. An unknown
party rocked a provost guard in
East Raleigh This was the only
incident OF the night.
Saturday night there was a Sc
rious row in the eastern part OF
the city, which was brought on
by some rowdy negroes. This is
what started the fight Sunday
and provoked the bad feeling,
Three privates were ferca!y
attacked by a party Of negroes,
who outnumbered them. One OF
the boys was cut on the cheek
with a knife. Inc wound was al
inch deep and required a sur
geon's attention. The boys say
they we're attacked without
provocation. This occurrence.
when it became known at camp
Sunday enraged the boys.
Several of the ring leaders OF
the mob shat attacked the sol>
diers Sunday evening have beer
arrested and are now confined il
the station house. Warrants ars
out for others. The trial of these
men is set before the mayor this
morning at 10 o'clock.

The Democrats of the 6th Ala.
District have unanimously renom-
mated Gen. Joseph Wheeler as
their representative in Congress.
At the November election he will
be reelected without opposition,
as the anti-D Democrats openly de-
clared their intention not to op-
pose him.
This is as it should be. But
the honor is at best a small one
for a man who has rendered his
country such splendid service both
in wal and in peace. However,
it is the Office General Wheeler
seeks and is the highest gift with
in the power of the people of his
district, and it is his so long as he
desires it.
Aside from the recent display
of his remarkable military genius,
which contributed so much to the
great American victory at Sans
tiago, brought enduring fame to
the gallant Alabamian and shed
luster upon the State which claims
him as his own, General Wheeler
deserves reelection to Congress
because of the excellent record he
has made in that body. He has
watched the interest OF his consti-
tuency with an eagle eye. He has
lost no opportunity to further the
interests OF Alabama and the en-
tire South. He has displayed a
spirit of broad patriotism when
great questions of national i'm
port arose and has always risen
above partisan lines to promote
the nations welfare.
Every eitizeaof his Congress
ional District should regard it
his happy privilege to go to the
polls in November and cast his
ballot for the hero Of Santiago.
The vote by which he IS re-elect-
ed should be the largest in the
history of the district,

N. C. Car Service Association.
Raleigh, N. c., Sept. 10th, 1898.
To all Consigners and Consignees Of
Freight:

Raleigh, N. c., Sept. 10th, 1898.
To all Consigners and Consignees of
Freight:
Serious loss and much inconveni-
ence has been caused, both to the
shippers and Railroad Companies.
by the unnecessary detention of cars
in loading and unloading freight.
Shippers are often unable to procure
cars, tracks are encumbered, and the
speedy movement of freight is i'm
possible under the practices that
have prevailed. The Railroad Com
panies are obliged to correct this
evil, and have issued the notice
printed below.
The system thus established has
been in successful operation in near
ly all of the States in this country
during many years, and with adj
vantageous results to the public, as
well as to the railroads. The amount
charged is not sufficient to compen-
safe the railroads for the use of their
cars and tracks for warehouse pur-
poses and is not collected for the
purpose of revenue, but for the pre-
vention of the detention of cars,
which affects both thepublic and the
transportation lines. The rules will
be enforced without discrimination
by the North Carolina Car Service
Association, which will act for all in
terests alike.
NOTICE.
Notice is hereby given that on and
| after October 1st, 1898, cars not I'M
loaded within forty-eight (48) hours
after arrival, and cars which are not
loaded within forty-eight (48) hours
after being placed in position, shall
be subject to a charge of one dollar
(S1.OO) per day or fraction thereof,
for the detention Of cars and use OF
tracks, Sundays and legal holidays
excepted.

Something Going to Drop.

Raleigh Post.
We are not surprised at the re-
fusal Of State Senator AtWater, Of
Chatham, to be led, tied and gag
ged, into the trap set for him by
Thompson and HoIton, engineered
by Billie Bryan. Mr.. Atwater
was present the other night and
sa the very thinly disguised freud
which was perpetrated upon Mr..
Strowd by the representatives, of
Senator Pritchard, through their
agents, Ohio Wilson and Billie
Bryan and the Johnston represcn-
t~ative, Massey. And Jenkins, the
successful candidate of the combi-
nation was as knowing to the whole
matter before the convention as
was Holten, or Duncan or Ohio
Wilson, or the son of the Mar
shall for the Western district.
The Republicans had "fxed'' the
job on Mr. Strowd before the con-
vention, in accordance with the
open declarations OF the RepublI-
cans made months ago, and the
long b~alloting was only permit
ted as a blind, hoping thereby to
fool the Populists, And when
Billie Bryan and Jenkins and their
allies attempt, in f~urtherance OF
the seIl-out, to transfer the whole
PopuIist party of Chatham to the
Republicans at onefell swoop, Mr..
Atwater and those whom he re-
presents, a large majority of the
Populists of the county, kicked,
and kicked manfully, We are not
surprised. They have boldly de-
clared they are not Rpubllcans nor
in sympathy with the present adj
ministration of affairs. No de-
cent citizen can be, Something
will be heard to drop in Chatham
before long.

A GOOD RESOLUTION.
One That Was Suggested by a Good,
 OId-Fashioned Man.

There was once an old man whose life, although he had met with few enemies and had never known poverty, had not been accounted a success in the eyes of many of his contemporaries, for if he had never known poverty, he had been little better acquainted with wealth. He had been a simple man in all his ways, considering no man worse than him. self, however lowly, and no man better than himself, however proud; and so uneventful had been his life that he had never even married. Some say, indeed, that he always carried an old-fashioned picture of an old-fashioned girl in his great pocketbook; but, at least, he never talked of it. and nobody knows if anyone really saw it there. Also, he wrote things for his own amusement-- essays one may be allowed to imagine, but he never published any of these es- says; indeed. he probably burned them conscientiously, for he left none of them amount of money that supplied his wants was as much mystery as why he made no effort to increase it. And vet no man whom I have known was happier or more laughed about or more respected.
 And for my part" this queer old man used to say. q don't believe in these New Years resolutions. If a person would choose out one resolution and en- deavor to keep that one"
 And did you ever try it?"
 "I?" said the queer old man. ''Oh, no; I never made any resolutions. think, ," he would add thoughtfully, q think if I ever had made resolution it would feelings of other people, e."-Boston Budget.

.yo,, max taIe him if you will feed

"You may take him II you VIII iS0u him. was the answer.
 There were little grassy plats along the lake shore. We obtained iong rope and hitched the animal out to grass near our wook-camp shifting him daily from place to place.
 My father consented to allow me the use of the horsepower of our threshlng machine, and by means of two cog wheels from the gear of a broken now ing machine. we connected the "lags shaft with the paddle wheels.
 The contrivance worked we'll beyond expectations: for when Old Star was driven up on the lags and compelled to walk, the paddle wheels revolved ana the boat moved steadily forward. We found, too, that it could be steered with >out much difficulty.
 The idea of a "pout boat" amused everybody immensely. Scores of people came to see it at the wood-lot, and when we took our first load of stove-wood down the lake 10 the village. a laughing crowd collected to cheer and chaff us. No doubt it was an odd rig. Herman steered; I drove Old Star with a stick, for he was lazy brute, and the paddle wheels threw up water tremendously.
 When the weather was calm, about an hour and 20 minutes was needed to run the boat from our wood-camp, at the Squire Frost lot, 10 the lower end of the lake. where we landed our wood. Our usual load was about half cord.
 When the weather was fair, we made the trip daily in the morning. and de- lyered the stovewood to purchasers in the village by means of wheelbarrow. Generally we reached the academy in time 10 be present at the opening eX- ercise at nine o'clock. Our recitations were at II o'clock in the forenoon, and at two or three o'clock in the after noon. We found considerable time for study during the day, and could study a little while making the trip on the lake, and much al our camp at the wood lot during the evening.
 The work we did. preparing the wood, gave us beneficial exercise. We had keen capacities and enjoyed our camp life famously. Burnside came back to us after the first week and was with us during most of the fall. He proved not a very trustworthy partner, how ever. In the following January he gave up study at the academy and went to learn the trade of tinsmith in the vil- Iage.
 He did not remain there long, and dur ing the next five years l think that he learned, or started 10 learn, at least four different trades. All his life. even to this day. he has been trying 10 in- vent something or other. but has never really succeeded. No more can be said of him than that he is one of the nu- merous "msfits' in life. entitled to our charity, no doubt. but not to be eff ciently helped by anybody.
 Stili. Herman and l have often felt that we were under some obligation 10 poor Burnside. since his idea of wind mill boat led us to devise the pout- boat. which enabled us to pursue our studies at the academy for two years. Youths Companion.

 Or how hard It was to part? Do they think. in that far-off city, As they watch his manly tread DO they think of the shower of blessings Invoked on his youthful head?
