HATCH BROS. EXCURSION.

HATCH BROS. EXCURSION.
Daily Argus of Saturday.
The excursion of Hatch Bros.
from Mount Olive to Wilmington,
Southport and out to sea, yester-
day, was a success in every par
ticular and more than met the ex-
pectation of the managers.
Notwithstanding the threaten
ing weather, quite number went
from this city on the Shoofy
and joined a large party from
Mount Olive, the starting point.
They continued to add passen-
gers at every station until the
last one was reached, and it was
estimated that at least five hun
dred were on board when they
arrived at Wilmington.
The train pulled down to the
water dock on arrival in Whining
ton, where the beautiful steamer
wilmington was in waiting to
take on it's load of human freight,
and was already filed with an
excursion party from Concord
that preceded this one few days
ago.
A fine string band was aboard,
which rendered superb music, and
added much to the delight Of the
occasion.
A delightful breeze was blow
ing, the sail on the Cape Fear
was grand, amid the magnificent
scenery surrounding, and this
part of the trip was especially en-
joyed by all on board.
At the landing near Caroline
Beach, a small party took the
Sea Coast train for the surf, ano
twice as many got on board the
boat, of the Concord excursion
party, which still swelled the al
ready large crowd.
At Southport, which is thirty
| miles from Wilmington, and ;
three hours ride, another cargo
| was discharged, and the balanc,
was taken ten miles out to sea
This part of the program was no
SO well enjoyed by some, judging
from the humor of one of th
passengers who threatened t.
throw boy overboa ard for sight
ing him to a large piece of ia
meat.
| It is estimated that at leas
800 passengers were on board.
| The excursion throughout wa
well managed, and the manager
did everything in their power fo
the comfort and convenience c
their patrons. The best of orde
prevailed, no drfnkig or swearin
on the train, and the entire part
expressed themselves as bein
delighted with the managemer
} and the trip.

With the situation in Craven

ton Of local government, OF the

when the banker has less voice
in ordering city improvements
than his wood sawyer, and the
farmer less control over his tax

white man be anything less than
a white man and rise up, declare
and work and strive until this

SATURDAY SERMON.
For Sunday PerusaI and Every Day
Guidance,

Suf1icientunt the day.-Matthew,
vi, 81.
Life is made up of innumerable'
present moments" and if you
attend to the duty or bear the
burdens Of each one as it comes
without borrowing trouble from
either the past or the future you
are in the best possible spiritual
condition.
We needlessly add to our load
the memory of outlived sorrows
or the anticipation of sorrows to
come and make life harder to
bear
When Jesus declared that
Sufficient unto the day is the
evil thereof" He proclaimed a
philosophy Of well being which
after fifty generations OF con-
tinuous progress we still fail
to comprehend.
We have discovered almost
everything else, but do not even
yet know how to live at our best
or to make the most of our cir
cumstances. We can make pre-
parations to go to heaven. but do
not know how to bring heaven,
down to our earthly homes, And
yet that is the chief object which
true religion has in view.
When you see at distance the
evils which threaten and which
will come upon you next went Or
next mouth, your imagination
gives them the proportions Of
giants. If you could ley aside all
thought Of them and simply live
in each day, doing each days
duty and bearing each days
burden as cheerfully as possible,
you would find when these
dreaded evils come either that
Iyou are stronger than you
Thought to bear then or that
they are smaller than you ex-
pected them to be.
If we were really to believe that
this is Gods world and that we
are Gods children, if we could
tcenvince ourselves that there is {
| Providence IN the affairs of lift
and that the statement that as oul
day is SO shall our strength be il
mot poetic fiction, but a practi,
cal fact, we could then enjoy 1
degree of repose to which we ar,
now strangers.

ltion of mind which can truly b
called religious. If you feel tha

The Board of Trustees of the
Goldsboro Public schools met last
Saturday and after due considera-
tion of all applications, Mr.. r. e.
Coker, formerly of Darlington, S.
c., was elected principal of the
white Graded school to succeed
Prof. Sharp, resigned.
While boring a well Thursday
afternoon on the farm of Mr.. D..
B. Borden, the workmen were
delighted to find the water gush-
ing forth. from the pipe and
spouting in a bold stream five
fee5 above the ground. This is
the first artesian we'll ever found
IN this section. The water is pure
and cold. Mr.. Borden's farm is on
the edge of the city, and no doubt
artesian wells can be found in
various parts of the neighbor-
hood.
Out of regard for the United
States, as a Rome dispatch puts
it, the italian Government has
given Colombia eight months
time to settle the Cerruti claim
and Cartagena will not be bonn
barded. Regard for the United
States is likely to be influential
in international dealings here
after. And it is agreeable to
known that in extending our
domain into the eastern hemis-
phere we have not abandoned our
care for the western. The Span
ish-American countries are some
times embarrassing wards, but it
is tradition that we will not let
them be bullied and in this case
a hint from Mr.. Day that Italy
had better not go too fast appears
to have been sufficient.
The attention of Gov. Russell,
Commander~iusChief of "the col
cred lroops.' is called to the
seeming laxity of discipline that
prevails ia their regard. During
all the time the white troops
were quartered in Raleigh it was
The rarest thing to see one of
thgm-much less dozens of them
travelling on the cars or loiter-
ing around railroad stations. But
there is hardly a day that from
several to q score or more Of ne
gros soldiers are not seenGon our
streets aud mbering the rail-
road cars. What is the reason of
This? We have the right to en-
quire, and the tax payers who
carry the burden of these negro
soldiers pay have the right to
know; but Gov Russell may res
ply by asking US if we ever
stuffed a ballot box-which we
have never done.

at a great Democratic rally, and
it is estimated that $500 people
were present. The Newbern
Journal says that it was the best
speech ever heard in Craven

and aroused the great crowd that
nearly if not quite every one

How WAR ia DEcLARED.-The feelings of
unrest and excitement in New York, Balti-
more, Washington. and The seaboard cities
and the apprehension of war with Spain have
caused inquiry as to what would be the pre-
liminary steps before hostilities would act.
ually begin between the two nations.
The power to declare war is vested by the
Constitution Of the United States in the two
houses of Congress acting concurrenlly.
Bancroft, the historian says:
This regulation is where the spirit of re-
publicanism exercised its h,lmanest influ-
ence. The world had been retarded in civil
ization, impoverished and laid waste by wars
of the personal ambition of its Kings. The
convention in the interest of peace entrusted
tho power to declare war, not to the execu-
tive, but to the deliberate decision of the
two branches of the Legislature, each Of them
having a negative on the other, and the
executive retaining his negative on them
both"
Until within a short time past there has
been little apprehension of war between
Spain and the United States and neither
country has been actively preparing for it.
1t will, therefore, be the policy of both to
delay the matter as long as possible. AS
much time as can be used up in diplomatic
negotiation will be so used, and at the same
time the delay will be utilized 10 prepare for
the inevitable When it shall be clearly
seen in this country, and when Congress is
con WINGED that peace without dishonor and
humiliation is no longer possible, bill for.
mulating declaration of war against His
Most Catholic Majesty King Alfonso XII,
will be introduced. This may be debated
for while, but should it pass 1t would I'M

The latter would then issue his proclama.
ton reciting the action Of Congress and
warning all enemies Of the United States and
all Spanish vessels in our port to leave the
country within designated time. Simulta-
ueously with the issuance of the Presidents
proclamation the Spanish Minister would be
given his passports, and the Secretary OF
State would issue to him under the great seal
of the United States safe conduct out OF
the country for himself, his attendants and
his and their property. Should the Spanish
Government anticipate such action by the
United States and itself declare war against
this Government, no act of Congress would
be necessary. As WAS the case with Mexico
in that event joint resolution by the two
houses recognizing the existence of hostili.
ties between the two nations would be all
that would be necessary In such a case
Spain would undoubtedly be prepared to
follow up her declaration by some decisive
