The most graceful tribute paid to
the late vice president was that of his
cherished friend. Attorney General
Grlggs. Said the scholarly attorney
general:
"As his associate and friend, can
say that he had the clearest intellect,
the largest business capacity. the
keenest Intuition Of any man ever
knew: but more remarkable than
these qualities were his traits Of mod
eaty. amounting almost to diiIidenCe. OF
lRrRe.handed generosity, unostentl-
tlOuSly bestowed; Of unBelhsh public
spirit In all AFFAIRS Of town or state, or
country, and finest OF all, q great heart
that never beat except with love and
loyalty and sympathy for all the
world"
For nearly thirty years these two
men were like brothers, with many
kindred tastes and similar chRracteFis-
tics. Governor GriggB Ia not only n
scholarly man. and thoroughbred
gentleman. but has slngulafly kind
and noble nature. And kindness Is the
greatest power IN the world-thG power
Of making our fellow creatures and the
world happy. II allies itself with right
to invade wrong and clear 1t of the
face Of the earth. The kind man Ia q
Just man, for kindness Is the aminbll.
Ity OF Justice, Kindness has won more
BtTayed souls. opened more hearts. en-
llRhtened more minds, converted more
sinners. and reformed more wrongs
than zeal eloquence, or learning. and
they never helped any one unless they
were kind also. And 1t Ii great thing

vidunl. but men like Carrot A. Hobart,
who, as the prlncely gentleman In the

and loyalty and sympathy for all the

having been major In the war Of 1872,
and his grandfather a colonel In the

1866. There Is no better equipped man

would be conspicuous factor and fig

A STRIKE EPIDEMIC.

Strikes are serious things, and in view
of the number that have occurred it is
we'll to remember that until the cause
be removed, dissatisfaction will depre-
ciate work and prove menace to socie-
ty. But it is not only the commercial
life which has its strikes. The wnoie
country is grooming under the strike OF
the stomach, and many people make the
mistake of trying to suppress the symp-
toms instead of removing the cause.
There is but one sure way of curing the
ills which arise from rebellious stola-
ach, and that is by am honest use of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Use it for
Indigestion, constipation, dyspepsia, bill
business, Liver or kidney trouble, and see
that a private Revenue Stamp covers

ment was valued at $1,000, and was a

TRIED FOR CONTEMPLATING.
Ringing Editorial in the Argus Concern
ing the Mormons.

Goldsboro. n. c.. Oct. 11.--(Special)- -
The trial of Pearl Norris, white boy,
who lives at Dunn, Harnet county, took
place here yesterday before United
States Commissioner Hugh Humphrey.
The boy was charged with counter
feiting money. Assistant District Attor-
ney Oscar j. Spears, represented the
Government. Two witnesses for the
Government were examined, and while
there was no direct evidence that he ac-
tually counterfeited any money, yet the
testimony introduced showed conclusive
~ that he had, in his possession moulds
for the purpose Of making nickles and
dollars.
Failing to give the required bond of
five hundred dollars, he was committed
to jail to await the next term of the Fed
eral court at Raleigh.
The Argus, in a ringing editorial in
yesterdays issue, appeals to the people
of Goldsboro, not to encourage aid or
abet in any way, shape or form, the
Mormons, who, it is said, contemplate
making Goldsboro their headquarters.
A revival is being conducted in Elm

During the winter Of 1897 Mr.. James
Reed, one of the leading citizens and
merchants of Clay, Clay county, w. Va,
struck his leg against a cake of ice
in such a manner as to bruise it Sc
verely. 1t became very much swollen
and panied him so badly that he could
not walk without the aid of crutches.
He was treated by physicians, also
used several kinds of liniment and
two and half gallons or whiskey in
bathing it, but nothing gave any relief
until he began using Chamberlain
Pain Balm. This brought almost a
complete cure in a weeks time and
he believes that had he not used this
remedy his leg would have had to be
amputated. Pain Balm Is unequaled
