Green Feed For Hogs.

The pig thrives on green food. It is in fact it's natural diet, for in a wild state 1t rarely comes across unlimited grain. Even when it finds patch of wild rice 1t has to extract the grain from the ear, and this is slow process, which, however. rarely presents itself. Grass Is seldom consumed with better chance of profit than when eaten by in pig sows, while all pigs keep in better health when 1t forms part of the diet Pastures are far too rarely utilized for pig growing.

The ARGUS bulletins that have
been posted daily in front of j. r.

its many patrons, is the same as the
big daily papers Of Wilmington, Ra-

This clearly shows to the people the
great interest this paper takes in it's
Mt. Olive patrons. It should be ap-
preciated, and Judging from the in
terest the numerous crowds mani
fest in reading the bulletins, we be-
lieye they do. If you will send i'll
your names as regular subscribers,
we will know that you appreciate the

Mr.. O. E. Franklin, manager of
Dr.. L. p. Aaron & Co.'S drug store,
has offered his professional services
to the United States Navy. Secreta-
ry Long answered his enquiries and
sent application blanks &c, notify
ing him to hold himself in readiness
subject to call for examination. Mr..
Franklin formally filed his applica-
ton, properly signed on return mail
of Tuesday. So it seems we may yet
have Mt. Olive representative in
the great United States Navy that is
now crowning itself with glory by
wiping from the face of the seas the
great historical Armada of Spain
that has been SO much dreaded by
all nations, and which made small
nations tremble when they would
uphold principle and right. In Mr..
Franklin we believe Uncle Sam will
have secured a valuable addition, as
he is competent, brave and fearless.

MEXICO OUTLAW.

The ARGUS was pleased to receive
a call to-day from our old friend Mr..
Lewis Outlaw, of Outlaws Bridge,
Duplin county, who has long been
designated in that community OF
numerous Outlaws, as "Mexico Out
law a title which he won on the
field of battle in Mexico more than
half a century ago.
Mr.. Outlaw is now past 10 years
of age, but is still hale and hearty,
drives the long road to Goldsboro
alone every three months to draw
his Mexican pension, and attends to
all his farming operations as vigor
ously as he has been accustomed to
for years.
The old gentleman was in much
more cheerful mood to-day than we
have observed him to be on his reg
ular visits for the past several years,
and the of his joyfulness he
stated was that his county, almost
to a man, has returned to its old
time Democratic m%oorings. And
"Uncle Lewis says he feels ten
years younger already and expects
to feel 20 years younger when his
county goes Democratic at the polls
next fall.

Sunday is usually a good day
for rumors and there was Just
enough of possibility in the vague
reports of a laval battle that
came from Hayti to make the
bulletin boards centres of eager
attention. But those who were
looking for another piece Of Sun
day news to match that OF
Dewey's victory were disappoint-
ed.
While the Navy Department
has given out no information
about the position of the fleet,
the indications are that Sampson
has gone by the Windward Pass
sage to Santiago. where the
Spanish fleet is said to be, and il
|Cervera shall remain in the har-
Dor. there will be little chance of
his ever getting out. It wouli
not be possible, however, for
Sampson to initiate Dewey by
sailing in and engaging the ene~
my. The harbor of Santiago is
small, with a very narrow els
trance, easily defended by mines,
aud much preliminary lombard
ment would probably be required
before an attempt were made to
enter it. On the other hand it can
be very easily blockaded and the
enemy's feet thus rendered S
less.
Cervera may not wait to be
blockaded, but should he slip
away he would haye to seek
some other port, and a safe ref
uge Is not easy to find. While he
is apparently fighting for time,
a fleet that is kept moving far
away from its base of supplies
must be constantly losing in eff
cheney and there seems no prob
ability that he can prolong the
game of hide and seek till rein
forcements reach him. It is not
unlikely that a day or two may
bring US some stirring news and
in the meantime we must expect
all manner Of rumors.

nese cruiser arriving here this
morning from Manila reports thai
the captain of the Spanish revenue
cutter recently captured by
Dewey, and who made his escape
to the shore, is to be shot for fail
ure to return the American fire.
The cruiser further reports that
Admiral Montijo, who commanded
the Spanish fleet in the recent
battle there, is to be courtmartialed
on the charge of cowardice.
Dewey is said to be in complete
control of Cavite and improving
its sanitary condition. He has
granted German and British mer.
chants permission to move from
Manila to Cavite, and has ordered
houses to be placed at their dis
posal.
All food supplies are becoming
scarce at Manila, and the Spanish
volunteers are threatening to seize
the stores of the city because their
pay is not forthcoming from the
Spanish authorities.
GERMAN CONSUL THREATENS.
A report by way of Shanghai
says that the German Consul al
Manila attempted to land provis-
ions from German ships, but was
commanded by Dewey to desist.
The Consul then held a conference
with the General of the Spanish
army in the Philippines, and after
wards notified Dewey that he
would land the provisions over his
protest, and, if necessary, would
call in the assistance of two Ger
man war boats in the harbor.
Dewey promptly replied to the
Consul that he would sink anv
ship that attempted to violate his
order, and he communicated this
also to the German cruisers.
The Germans and Spaniards are
holding frequent and friendly con-
ferences, but those provisions have
not yet been landed.
1t is said that the Spaniards are
expecting reenforcements.
