ASKED TO EXPLAIN.
Demand Upon Admiral Dewey
BY the Austrian Government.

- ~~~~ SA ~s~-@
Paris, Aug. 5.-A dispatch TO
the Libre Parole says the Aus
trian government asked Admiral
Dewey to explain the statement
said to have been made by him,
that the next war of the United
States would be with Ger many,
and that the United States would
be supported by England. To this
request the Libre Parole says Ad-
miral Dewey replied that he
would deny nothing he had said,
and thereupon advanced the date
of his departure from Trieste.
Washington, Aug. 5.-Regard-
ing the published statemens ac~
credited to French paper, TO the
effect that the Austrian govern
ment made demand upon Ad-
miral Dewey to confirm or deny
his alleged statement to the effect
that our next war would be with
Germany, the State Department
officials point out that it would be
a glarlng breach of diplomatic pro-
prieties to communicate on a dip
lomatic subject with a United
States naval officer directly, and
outside of the lawful channels. It
would, moreover, be matter of
complaint should Austria have ad-
dressed Admiral Dewey on a mat.

ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS.
Mr. Henry Wells PrinceIy Gift to the
University Library.

| university
Mr.. Henry We'll, senior member
of the great house of II. We'll &
Bros, of this city, while actively
engaged in business, always has
time to devote to the cause OF
education. He not only cheerfully
gives his time, but his money. For
years he has given annually forty
dollars in gold to the two students
who stand highest in the gradual
ing class of the Goldsboro Graded
School. In a modest way, he
goes in and out among our people,
ever ready to lend helping hand
to all worthy causes. Knowing
him as we do, we we're not SUR
prised when we heard that Mr..
Weil had given one thousand dol
lars in cash to the Library of the
University of North Carolina. 1t
is splendid gift. Who can estimate
the good the great number of
books will accomplish as the yea1 S
come and go, not only to the pres
ent generation but to the genera,
tions yet unborn.
The Raleigh Post thus speaks
of the princely gift ofour philan-
thropic townsman:
"Mr. Henry We'll, one Of
Goldsboro's prominent cit=zaus
and merchants, proved his love
and loyalty to his State recently
by giving to the University Lii
brary the goodly sum Of one thous-
and dollars in cash. To no de-
partment could this generosity
have been bestowed to better or
moro far reaching advantage, be-
coming as it does permanent
provision for the benefit of those
who now and are yet TO enjoy the
privileges of the cid University.
The name of the benefactor should
become permanent fixture of the
institution, SO that those who come
after may know and properly re-
we're one SO thoughtful of their
good. The University has fallen,
indeed, of late, into the hands and
the hearts of its friends. May the
good work go on. The Post re
joices when it hears of any addi-
ton made to the usefulness of any
of our educational institutions.

9th and 10th Springs as Fine Mineral

Ii a person was blind-folded,
put on the train and taken 100
miles and back, then placed in a
carriage and carried to Seven
Springs, at Hams Hotel, if the
person had vever been there be-
fore, as he looked at the hills and
beautiful scenery, he would think
that he was in the Piedmont sec
ton Of North Carolina, among the
foot hills Of the mountains.
Thousands of our Goldsboro
people have no conception of the
beauty of its scenery, the wonder
full mineral water OF the Springs
clear aud cold, and the excel
lent fare and accommodation at Mr..
H.J. Hams Hotel-Rural Retreat.
Only a few days ago, the writer
for the first time drank of the
wonderful waterJ of the 9th and

No wonder the people who &C

THE ARGUS ANDTHAT CANAL

Our friend Robinson of the
Goldsboro ARGUS gave his readers
a very excellent article on the
value of canals few issues ago.
We presume he is paving the way
for canal connecting his pro-
gressive boro with the Neuse, SO
as to secure cheap transportation
by way of the latter river, made
navigable some years ago by the
government. We wish the new
enterprise success. Raleigh Post.
No, brother Furman, it was
not to reach the Neuse that we
were advocating the canal. Colds
boro already encumbers the banks
of the Neuse, a nav1gabie stream,
as you say, but still we are fear
fully and shamefu'ly Disseminated
against by the pooled" railroads
that centre here and sap every
thing except the mere life blood of
trade. The Neuse is no advantage
to Goldsboro as navigable stream,
the railroads taking advantage of
"technicalities" TO avoid giving us
"water rates. of transportation.
But what we are advocating the
canal in question for is the more
readily, ramifyingly and eheaply
to reach the ocean-the great
high way of the world, the traffic
over which is net controlled by
bloated corporations, and which
knows neither the blessings nor
the blight Of railroads. We might
then utilize the Neuse as a navi-
gable stream for reaching the tri-
butaries of the canal and thereby
pat the product of Goldsboro's
looms and lumber mills and agri-
cultural works and furniture fac
tory, and other manufacturing en-
terprises, on the markets beyond
the seas.
We thank you for your refer
ence to the subject, brother Fur
man, and as it is ''a good thing"
We hope you will help 'fpush
it aloug.'

Ci y Cotton Crop-6,OOO Bales.

Hon. J. M. Kirk writes from
Moravia, date of April 10Th last:
"My farm'r friends, look at every
cotton platform as you pass by

(squaye) bale standing on its head
with from two to four great gap
ing wounds at the mercy of those
who want to piifer. The number
of bales in Texas taken from the
original runs up into the thou

session of the last Legislature
when the bill konwn as the Com

committee room, gentleman from
Galveston, who was opposing the
measure, in answer to a question
asked by me Zone of the Commits
tee) how many bales of cotton
were made by the congresses in
Galveston that were taken from
original bales compressed there.
He answered about six thousand
bales And yet there are those
who decry the American Cotton
Company's Roundup bale. from
which there is not one on 30 of
waste and which reaches the mill
exactly as it leaves the press.

Mr.. John Oliver Of Philadelphia,

him as follows: Il was in most

OFFICIALLY NOTIFIED.
Miss Darby Received News of Her
Appointment From Wash
ingtOn Mr.. Struthers
May be Assistant.
Wilmington Star.

Wilmington Star.
Miss Mary G. Darby, the new
appointee to the Wilmington
postmastersbip, received official
notification of her appointment
OF the position yesterday morn
together With bond in the sun
of $50, 900 which she is instructed
to execute and send to the des
partment as early as possible.
From best information obtains
able yesterday it was learned
that Miss Darby would easily find
surety among her friends in the
city to the amount required and
that it is very probable that Post
mater Chadbourn will retire as
early as tomorrow week and
Miss Darby Immediately assume
control of the affairs of the Office.
The postmas tership under a
second class rating has been pay
ing Postmaster Chadbuurn 50, S
900 per annum, but beginning
August 1, the Office was advanced
to first class and so long as the
receipts will justify the same it
will remain first class with the
salary of the postmaster So, 900
per year-only 800 more than
under the second rating.
Local Republicans do not ap-
pear jubilant over the appoints
ment. While they do not base
their objections toMissDarby per-
sonally, there appears 70 be un-
dercurrent Of sen timent favoring
the appointment of men only to
positions Of this character, They
easily concede her competency,
but it is obvious that they want
the Office as a reward for some
political service during the cam
paign.
Miss Darby says she has noth>
ing to say yet as to whom she
will name for Assistant Post
master, but it is generally be-
lieved that Mr.. VIM. truthers
will be the appOintee.
