He was arrested, and claimed he
had hired it for someone else. 1t
now appears that Russell came to
Pullman with the horse, sold the
saddle to West for $3.50, and put
the horse in the Star stable were he

for going over tho road are very en-

MORE PENSIONS,

One of the largest items of ex-
pense that will be put upon the
government as a result of the war
with Spain will be found in the
increase of the pension list.
There are already thousands OF
applications for pensions on file,
aud the number grows every
day.
It must be remembered that
our total loss of men who were
killed, died of wcuaGs and in
hospitals during the war with
Spain was about 6, OO0
Our losses in the Philippines
in battles aud in hospitals had
reached 1000 by the end of
March, and will be largely in.
creased during the wet season
which is now about to set in.
It will be seen that here is a
basis for many new pensions, A
pension means a long continued
expense, for in most cases when
the original pensioner dies his
family or some dependent rela>
tive takes his place on the list.
It is said that the pension list
for our war with Spain will be
much larger on account of the
decomposed beef which was
served to the troops than it other
wise would have been.
II this beef caused permanent
injury to the health Of any SOL
diers to whom the government
supplied it they have as good a
claim to pensions as they would
have had for disabilities caused
be wounds received in battle.
The avidity for pensioners
which the government has en-
couraged by its loose methods of
granting them is the cause of a
large proportion of the applicas
tions made to the pension bureau
by soldiers who served in Cuba
and Porto Rico. More than 25
per cent of one regiment which
reached Cuba after the fighting
was over have applied for pens
sions. Another regiment has
furnished $50 applicants and an
other 342
The total cost of pensions for
service in Cuba will go far up
into the millions. The fighting
and exposure in the Philippines
will probably increase pension
expenditures to an even greater
extent

Remarkable Rescue.

Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plain
field, ILL.,. makes the statement,
that she caught cold, which set
tied on her lungs; she was treat-
ed for a month by her family
physician, but grew worse. He
told her that she was a hopeless
victim of consumption and that
no medicine could cure her. Her
druggist suggested DR.. Kings
New Discovery for Consum ption;
she bought-a bottle and to her
delight found herself benefited
from the first dose. She contin-
ued lis use and after taking six
bottles, found herself sound and

agent at this place, glve7 out some
information IN reference to dis
coo t;nuing the quarantine of New
bern egainst Goldsboro that is
news to the ARGUS. We did not
know that such quarantine ex-
isted. The small pox subject has
been entirely forgotten in Colds
horo ard there are no cases now,
whatever, if, indeed, there has ever
been. The letter in reference reads
as follows: "You will. post this no.

possible t2at the quarantine by
The authorities of Newbern against

count of smell poX is d scantinred

Among other things Goldsboro
can boast of the champion runne r
of the country. The other even~
ing Mr.. R E. Pipkin was return
ing from his plantation in Greene
county, driving his trusty steed
to sparkling bran Lew buggy.
At the township gate, about 8
miles from the city, Bob" got
out, opened and lead his horse
through b the gate and went back
TO close the gate. While he was
closing the gate the horse started
off in trot. instantly Bob did
the same. yelling whoa at every
step, but this only served to
quicken the animals gait which
was soon in a dead run: So was
Bob. The horse was headed eff
at Georgetown, and the man who
caught the animal recognized ii,
as Mr.. Pipkin's, aud, the buggy
being unir jlred, he immed lately
started back in search Of Mr..
Pipkir, 'Hhum he met about 3
miles down the road, still running,
with the buggy cushion under
his arm. The point We make is
that Bob ran five miles while the
horse was running z miles and
back to the point of meeting.

COTTON AND CORN.

The cotton mar kets Of the coun-
try are doll beyond des cription.
The price in the interior markets
has fallen to about 5 cents, and
there it stays N llfeless oondi-
tiop, no one Sc eming to care which
way the MT rket may g. All are
hesitatiug, not because receipts are
liberal, but because no one knows
what the &C, cage of the new crop
is to be.
The season is confessedly back
ward, and the purchase of fertili-
zers is also backs ard, but 10 one
feels that these facts point witt
certainty to dsc: eased acreage.
A month OF dry weather might
upset all such estimates. 1t Is still
early IN the season, and much cot
ton may yet be Ilanted-very
much-for that matter-too much
in all human probability. Too
much is what is generally planted.
No one can remember when too
little was planted.
The feature of the cotton mar
ket just at present is the lack OF
speculative activity. Willie there
is bearish feeling, there ar" no
rampant bears-no bear leaders at
any rate The market is in a Wait-
ing mood, waiting TO what the
new acreage is 20 be.
The South is much more deeply
interested in the corn acreage, and
hog crop than it is IN the cotton
acreage. In the rush of back
ward sease II there is danger that
the corn acreage will be decreased !;
and if it be, the hog outturn will
also be hurt. North Carolina
ought to produce corn and hogs
enough to satisfy home consump-
ton. If the farmers of the State
will meet consumption in these
two respects, no one will object to
their cotton acreage, no matter
how large it may be. A State that
Is full of corn, eide meat, eggs,
cows and greens is State that can
afford to ignore the current talk
as to a great cotton acreage. But
the trouble is North Carolina is
not full of these needful articles.
We need more ceres in corn
more hogs, more cattle and par
ticularly more hens. In some
States the little brown hen is;the
most important and lucrative
creature contained therein. It=has
been the salvation, it is claimed, of
Kansas, as the COW has been of
Iowa,

MAY MUSIC FESTIVAL,
The GoIdsboro Choral Society Will Present

The GoIdsb oro Choral Society Will Present
the Sacred Opera A thalaie
The date for the May Music
Festival by the Goldsboro Choral
Society is set for the 9th ult.,
when the Sacred Opera cath
alaie,' by Mendelssohn, will be
rendered. Those familiar with
Athalaie, and all people of musi-
cal accomplishment are, will
scarcely believe that such a diff
cult song recital, of SO great mag
nitude, could be accomplished
right here in Goldsboro by Colds
boro people, but such is the case,
nevertheless, and it is greatly to
the credit of the talent of our
city that the people of Goldsboro
and surrounding towns and cities
are to have the pleasure of listen
ing to the rendition of this much
famed production of so great an
author.
It was only this week that the
Choral society decided to name
the date. Several weeks of almost
continued practice have been re-
quired to bring about the posi-
bility of presenting such colos-
sal undertaking before the public,
but now it is within the pales of
probability and with the prac-
tice from now until the date
named the Messenger Opera
House will have the greatest mu-
steal attraction ever presented be-
fore it's footlights.

THE WAR DOWN BELOW,

War Department officials are
at last convinced that peace in
the Philippines is still a long
ways off, and the administral ion
is beginning to realize that the
islands were not a bargain at
$40, 100000, and that we will pay
the money long time before We
get possession of the property,
such as it is. When Aguinaldo's 5
capital was taken it was announc-
ed by administration officials that
the fighting was all over, yet dur
ing the present wet k there has
been almost continuous fi<hting
over there, and our troops didn't
have to do all the attacking,
either. Speaking to several army
off GERS, Gen. Shafter said: Gen.
Lawton and his men are achiev
ing much success so far as they
go. The fighting against the
Filipinos, however, is like the
brushing away of flies: the mo-
ment the brushing is stopped
they come back. The Filipinos
are bound to give in eventually.
but I believe it is a much more
serious task to subdGe them than
most people think Another army
officer said, after noting the re-
semblance of General Lawton's
campaign to those against the
Apache Indians: 1.-THE Fllipinos
will get tired Of the chase sooner
than the American Indians did,
and after few years Of attempt
ing to keep up a fight against the
authority Of the United States
the insurgents will disappear or
surrender" That's a nice thing to
contemplate isn't it? Pay $780,
100000 and thousands of good
American lives for islands which
we will get complete posse ssion
of in a few years, and will not
have any use for after We get
them.
There are seven million Fills
pinos and the natural increase in
the population for year is
nearly as great as the number of
them we have corquered and
pacified. Manila itself is held
only by sheer force of arms.
The Americans have had the
most favorable season in which
to fight, have had strongly
organized, well> disciplined army,
a powerful navy and every ad-
vantage in weapons and organ
ization. During the rainy season
Aguinaldo will haYe an oppors
tunity to recruit and reorganize
his army, equip them with mod
ern weapons, and prepare for a
vigorous campaign. He can easily
recover all the territory lost. to
the very gates of Manila. There
is little doubt that the fame of
revolution which the Americans
have been trying 10 stamp out
will blaze brightly in the Philips
pines in the next few months.
Gen. Shafter described the
situation when he said: cit is
like brushing away flies. AS soon
as you cease brushing they fly
back again.
