There are, however. many kinds OF fur

half of them may be said to waste fuel and
to create vexatious disappointments and
unsatisfactory results. Ono reason for this
is the way the space in the furnace is ar
ranged, not being in proportion to the
pipes, and the latter cannot get sufficient
air to properly warm the room it enters
because one or two pipes where the air can
travel with the least resistance get most
of it, and so the furnace is failure Two

In the selection of suitable heating ap-

count. In American homes the care of the
heater largely devolves upon the hired
help, and as this sort of help is seldom of
a high order IN the engineering line it is
important that the apparatus selected be
one that is easy to manage and not liable
TO get out of order by neglect, and that

quested by several to write it up
for the ARGUS, aud though IN

ance was present of eye ladies

to be present on such occasions,

The banner came about two
o'clock, and was placed upon in
spection. On one side was this
omtto: "When Democrats rule,
white women have protection" It
was very lovely, made of finest
silk, by Democratic ladies', and
others of that ilk, and upon each
side thereof were notices written

Russia In Manchuria and France
in Tonquin are e~ndeavorIng tC
shut out through high tariffs and
other restrictions all other nations:
and the "open door" policy to be
applied to the Philippines has q
similar look. 1t is to be the open
door, not of a worlds trade, but
Of the tariff and shop building bar
ons of the country. Tariff rates
are to ba established in the Philip
pines that all will pay alike, in
Guiding the exporters of the coun-
try, and Philippine good will pay
duties il the ports Of this country
as they heretofore have done. This
is done to prevent the undermin-
ing of Dingleyism, which must be
preserved though the republic fall.
The sugar trust, the tobacco
trust, and a dozen other trusts
must be protected, else Mr.. Mark
Hanna's next levy for campaign
purposes would be sadly les
sened. The campaign purse and
the purses of the various trusts
stand or fall together.
1t is difficult to see how a diff
ferent tariff can BE- imposed-how
any tariff at all can be imposed
in the Philippines against Ameri-
can goods--without violating the
constitution. That instrument
casually remarks 'that all duties,
imposts and excuses shall be uni
form throughout the United
States" But what is the constitu-
ton. when the interests Of the
trusts and the siza of the cams
paign fund are involved?
The administration has decided
that Porto Rico is a part of the
United States, and this decision
must of course be extended to
the Philippines. This decision
becomes necessary in order to
enforce our medieval, Anticipated
aud barbaric navigation laws.
These laws say that a Canadian
vessel shall not call at Mobile
al d pick up a ton of Alabama
coal for the Porto Rican markets.
When this rule is extended to
the Philippines, as of course It
must be, we will present to the
world a very fine muddle cons
sistins Of open doors, and laws
first enforced by Mediterranean
pirates, and shipping acts that
even backward Spain would be
ashamed of-all, mind you, for
the protection Of home trusts |

His hide is too tough for shoe

grunts under your bedroom till
you cannot go to sleep. He eats
more corn, makes more noise

G. r.. r. Yesterday Afternoon.
Daily ARGUS, Wednesday,
An unknown negro was found
dead on the A. & n. r. r., near
Boston, yesterday afternoon. He
was discovered by another negro
just as the incoming freight was
nearing the scene. The negro
who found the dead man waved
the freight down and the conduc-
tor had the man removed from
the track. The conductor says
the dead man was not cold when
he found him and that when the
train started moving off he saw
two negroes emerge from the
bushes and go down the railroad.
On the arrival of the freight
train in this city the authorities
at Newbern gave DR.. Thos. Hill,
the coroner, permission to use
the engine and go to the scene
with a jury and bring the dead
negro back to this city last night.
DR.. Hill held an inquest this
morning and examined such Wit
nesses as were available, who all
testified that two negroes were
seen to go down the railroad, fols
lowed by the negro who was
killed. The latter wore new
clothes when seen last by the
witnesses, but when found dead he
was dressed ia the ragged garb
Of one CT the two negroes who
were together. All three of the
negroes we're unknown to the
witnesses aud it is the sense of
the c%ororner's jury that the negro
came to his death by a blow on
the head with a brick in the
hands of an unknown person,
supposed to be one Of the two
negroes seen on the railroad,

A Condensed Chronicling of a
Weeks Happenings.

Weeks happenings.
We are glad to see our genial
friend Nh. Toby Howell out
again after a weeks sickness.
Mr.. and Mrs, Ed Gurley spent
Saturday night and Sunday in the
neighborhood visiting ralatiyes.
Mr.. Clarence Peacock, from
your city, is visiting MI. J. G.
Thompson, on a hunting expedi-
ton.
The recent rains not only stops
ped farming operations, but have
put the river on the largest boom
it has been on in some time.
The roads are in a terrible con-,
dition now, especially where they
have been recently worked. In
some places they are almost i'm
passabie.
Quite a number Of people in
this community were disappoiut-
ed last Sunday in being prevented
from attending the Masonic fu-
neral Of Mr.. Holland, over the
river.
We understand the new Board
of County Commissioners stopped
the work on the roads, and the
question 0 agitating the minds
of the tax payers is, what will
become of the road money.
Miss Rosa Holt, the efficient
teacher at Walter, desires the
young people to meet at the
school room next Friday night
for the purpose of organizing a
literary club. Let every one at
tend.
We do not want to give anyone
offense. but it is very trying to
ones religious scouples to have
hogs destroy from one to two
barrels Of corn after it is pulled
down, and we nope we will not
be forced 70 register any, ga
word 10 the wise"
We entertain nc fears of not
having meat in the smoke house
now, as Mrs. k wound up her
rabbit gum and put it in the gar
den and was rewarded by a nice
fat ''Bre'r Rabbit" the first day.
A few more will carry US over
till fish begin 10 getripe and then
we are safe. The Lord will pro-
vide.
The monotony was relieved
last Friday night by an old fash
Toned candy stew given at DR..
and Mrs. Crawford's by the young
men of the community. There
was music, but no dancing, and
every one seemed to greatly en-
JOY the occasion, especially the
delicious candy, of which there
was an abundance.
Our esteemed editor boasts of
'the best town in the State" and
we proudly claim one of the best
communities. Our neighbors are
clever, law-abiding citizens, with
as high regard for morality and
uprightness as you find anywhere,
and we do not think there a be
found a more moral, temperate
set OF young men, or a more ami
able, and attractive set Of young
ladies than those who lend their
charms to this community.
