THE ALASKA CABLE.

This Is a question in which it seems to man up a tree that the hands of Senator Foster could be strengthened it he had some facts of the commercial importanee of Alaska in regard to a cable to support his position. lt IS eonleded by the gov ernment and practically by congress that cable to the new possessions of the United States in the Philippines Is a necessity and however much we may feel that con- greSS never saw any such necessity in re- gard 10 her Alaska possessions Su;h IS the fact. Senator Foster, in the best interests of Alaska, has endelvored to make this political necessity serve the purposes of the people of Alaska. and for this effort the thanks of all AlaSNanS arc due.
 lt was easy for him to show that a shorter and more practicable cable line could be laid to these newly acquired ter ri,orieS bv way of Dutch Harbor than h any other way, and that by adopting this course congress could easily, by branch lines, place Skagway and other places that may hereafter be oi importance, In direct communication with the seat of govern ment. There Is no reason why, on ltS merits, such a bill should not have been passed. But in congress all men are not patriots, or ii they are. their proudest boast is that they are local patriots; and Senator Foster had Co combat with this purely local sentiment,
 The result was that he had to enter into a diplomatic agreement which in business circles would be called a blrgalnl with the Sln FranciScO delegation, that was de termined to have the cable bv way of San Francisco Co Hawaii. He conceded this, gave it his support, on condition that the San FranciSco delegation supported his Alaska cable bill, and thls they agreed ,o do. The Post-lntelligeneer of the latest late that has reached here saws:
 The Alaskan cable is needed now. That it will point across the PAcihc as itS future destination adds to itS importance and itS utility Pthlis erioi," l>-". Strongiv toward it. The tuning Of all eyes to Alaska, and the long and restless waiting Of thousands for information from that far country have educated the people already. We believe that it IS possible 10 secure the approval of congress for the Allska>Paciht cable. and 50 for the great enterprise into which it will ultimately grow. Let effort and enthusiasm be turned systematically and unremit,ingly to the accomplishment oi this first of all."
 Therefore. as >OOn a> possible, 10 strengthen Senator Fosters hands in this matter in relation to branch li.eS to Alaska ports, Juneau and Sklgwly should i'm media,ely send carefully prepared statistics of the amount of business being done at these ports, and of the importance ef hays Ing telegraphic communication. That these two cities are mentioned only is no indication that other growing places are not of importance, but that those cities have energetic chambers of commerce hat have already proved their influence in mat terS of legislation.

OUR LOCAL OPTIC.

Mr.. J. J. Overman, Jr., an old
Wayne county boy, now teaching
in Georgia, is spending the holi~
days among ue.
The death of Mrs. Jack Harrell,
the venerable mother of Mr.. lobe
Harrell, Of the Planters Ware
house, occurred Jan. 1et, at her
home, near this city. Her death
was altogether unexpected.
MI J. w. Blow, of the Office
force of the Hotel Kennon, who
has been on a Christmas visit to
his home in Nash county, is again
at his post of duty, to the pleas
ure of his many friends here and
among the travelling public.
The question is the subject of
general debate whether Monday be
gan the Goth century or the clos
ing year of the 10th century. The
ARGUS holds that there can be no
controversy on this subject. The
Goth century does not begin until
1901.
Mr.. Nathan O'Berry has pur-
chased the desirable building lot
on West Centre street, between the
residence of Capt. r. P. Howell
and that of Maj. w. T. Hollo-
well, and will soon begin the erec-
tion thereon of a handsome resi-
dence for himself.
The ARGUS is glad to note the
promotion of our young friend
and townsman Mr.. Jack Rroad-
hurst, of the Southern Railway
freight service here. He has been
advanced to a position in the SER
vice at Raleigh and left Monday
afternoon for his new post of duty.
Maj. D. w. HURT, the old and
reliable merchant tailor of the city,
has taken into copartnership Mr..
Albert N. Hummel, who has been
with him q number of years, and
the firm is now HURT & Hummel,
at the same old stand, under the
Messenger Opera House. The
ARGUS wishes them the full meas
ure of public patronage they SO
eminently deserve.
The death of Mrs. Nancy How
ell, widow of the late Admiral
Howell, of the Salem church Sec
ton of the county, and mother Of
our towsman MI. J. d. Howell,
occurred Jan. LIST, of paralysis,
aged about 81 years. She was a
most estimable woman, and will
be sincerely missed and mourned.
seven children, all grown, four
-ons and three daughters, survive
her.
A ysung lady had a thrilling
sc pc fr,m o horrible death at
he union = ca air depot in this
city Tues lay, and but for the
prompt and vigorous efforts of the
alert celored porter Of the train,
we woald now be- writing u differ
