THE NIGHT SCHOOL

l. is probably not known to the
most of the people of Golds5oro,
that there has recently been in
augurated movement, that has
in it the possibilities of much use
fulness.
For two weeks a night school
has been taught here. OF eighty
names secured as pupils by the
teacher, very few, if any can, or
do, attend the Graded School, be-
cause compelled to work daily
for a living. Over fifty per cent.
of them cannot read the Bible or
write their names. Qaite num-
ber do not know the letters of the
ALPHABET.
The teacher of the night school
only charges the nominal amount
of ten cents per week, and quite a
number whose names have been
taken do not attend because they
do not feel able to pay even that
amount: but would attend if they
could have free tuition. Though
working under great disadvant-
ages, there has been progress
made by tho:e who attend. One
pupil who could not, two weeks
ago, put three figures On the
board correctly, is now working
in fractions. Several of them
have learned to correct simple
sentences when incorrect.
The teacher of this school will
be compelled to give it up, unless
he can receive help outside of the
pupils, as they do not pay enough
to enable him to give his time to
it. Here is chance for some
liberal minded persons to use a
part of their means for the good
of others, proftably.
All of us endorsed Mr.. Aycock
when he said in substance, In his
address at the close of the Graded
School: "We want to see the time
when every child in Goldsboro
shall be in School. This move
ment will help to bring about that
time. A night school will help
to educate some who cannot go to
day school.
What will the rublic spirited
and benevolent people of the "best
town in the S.ate'' do about its

THE WORLDS CHAMPIONS.
THE ECLIPSE COMPANY HAVE
RETURNED WITH LAU-
RELS ON THEIR
HEAD,
The People of G0ldsbOrO Sh uld
Give the Volunteer Fire
men More EncOur-
agement.

All the members of the Eclipse
Fire Company have returned from
Colum bia, S. G.. where they won
the hose wagon race and received
the prizc of $125. 90. When this
company lowered the worlds recn
ord at the tournament in this city
last year, every citizen of Colds
boro who had been proud of the
company before was made to
feel still more, proud, and now that
they have gone outside the bord-
ers of the State and won laurels in
the face of all opposition an dis
advantages the pride of our peo-
pie has reached the superlative de-
gree. They are the champions of
the world and Goldsboro should
give them a royal welcome.
It has been suggested by num-
Der of people to-day and the
ARGUS endorses the suggestion,
that a popular subscription be
taken up to purchase uniforms for
this company and the whole fre
department. At the parade in CO.
lumbla the other day, all COM
panies from South Carolina had
on handsome uniforms and bright
glittering regalia while the Colds
boro Company, the champions of
the world, were dressed IN red
flannel knee pants and white cotton
shirts. Surely there was not a
North Carolinian present who
would not blush at the scene.
There is no money in the business
Of a volunteer fireman and if he
fails to get honors that are due
him there is no incentive to per-
form his arduous duties.
The State tournament will soon
take place at Greensboro and it is
the duty of our people to send the
whole department attired in para
phernalias that will be a.credit to
the department and a credit to
Goldsboro.

Glorious News.

Comes from DR.. D. B. Cargile,
Of Washlta, I. T. He writes:

VICTIMS OF THE DREYFUS

The Dreyfus affair, in fact, is a
veritable man eater. All those who

BradfieId's Female Regulator
SIX1Y-FOUR CENT COTTON

IF one will take even ordinary
dress goods, such as women are
buying every day, and weigh
them, it will seem that they are
selling at the rate of 81 cents a
pound. The farmer got 5 cents
Of this amount, and the retail
dealer gets as much more, and
the balance, 81 cents, goes to the
railroads, owned elsewhere, and
to people in the north. The
south gets for its staple in this
case 10 cents pound, and the
north 81 cents.
There is no nonsense or de-
ception ABOUT these figures. They
are cold facts numerically ex-
pressed. The manufacture in
the north does not pocket "a
cents a pound, but the 81 cents
accurately speaking; about SO
cents docs go into the pockets
of northern people, some Of them
being. operatives, some of them
engaged in transportation and
some in the manufacture and
sale of supplies. Fifty Two out
of 64 cents expended for dress
goods made from cotton is paid
into northen pockets, only 12
cents being retained in the south.
We d not care to trace II cents,
lest we find that if, too. is landad
at last alongside the so cents in
the course of the purchase of
fertilizers, meats, other dry
goods, machinery aud the like.
We need not grum ole over 5
cent cotton when we know that
We can readily make it worth to
the State ten times that price. If
We cannot readily at this stage
OF manufacturing development
in the south increase it's value
10 the community ten-fold, we
know we can increase it three
fold or four-fold. Goldsboro
should take the lesson of these
figures to herself and build fac
tories, live cannot make the high
grades we can at least make stan
dard sheeting, and this would
carry 5-cent cotton up to 20 cents,
which is fine raise in itself,

It cften happens on the stage
that while the attention of the
audience is engrossed by those in
front the real business of the scene
is being transacted by some, for
the time being, comparatively un-
noticed character in the rear. The
same rule holds good in real life.
In the public prints and other
sources of general enlightment we
are apt to be SO absorbed by the
larger figures in the canvass that
we possibly lose sight of lesser

interesting and far more valuable

TWG COMPLAINTS.
One as to the County Roads, the Other al
to the City Mole.


Two complaints-and oft re.
peated. have been lodged at this
Office and we deem it the duty of
the respective off cials to investi-
gate the same and remedy the
cause.
1t is said that the county over
seer of public roads is not giving
that aggressive supervision that
the necessities of the public de-
mand and, that the work OF re-
pairing the roads is inefdciently
carried on and that the service
it not as it should be at all.
The Board of County Commis-
sioners should take the matter in
hand and if the complaints lodged
are well-founded prompt steps
should be taken to remedy, the
matter.
The other complaint is in re-
gard to the neglected condition of
the city Mole, extending through
the length of the old market house
street from East to West. The
young trees planted along either
side, and which are growing Wig
oorously, are permitted to grow
as they please, bent, twisted, or
otherwise, whereas they should be
inclined straight, and protected
until they obtain sufficient
proportions to ''hold their own >
The fencing around the Mole on
some of the squares is neglected,
and instead Of grass being cults
vated weeds hold a carnival Of
ubiquitousness.
The city authorities are reques-
ted to spare the ARGUS the NOR
tifcation OF again referring
to this matter. We hope the
necessary attention and repairs
will at once be given to the Mole.
