ren-staf, gold mounted and gold
pen, by Mr.. W. D. Pollock, better
known among his many friends as

recently returned from an ex-
tended European tour. The staff
of the pen is a twig from the his
toric tree on the field of Runny-
mede under which "Magna
Charta" was signed. Mr.. Pol
lock secured it in person when he
visited Runnymede, and had Tif>

beauty, as we'll as a historic treas.

The ARGUS has from time to
time chronicled the marvellous ex-
pIoits of "Fred'' Holt at hunting
and fishing On his occasional sal
lies into Duplin county, until MIR,
George w. Brown, the efficient
Foreman of the ARGUS, who is
somewhat of a hunter and fisher
man himself, just couldn't stand
it any longer, and he is off to-day
into Duplin for a two days cam
paign, with the secret intention,
we believe and certainly with the
hope, of beating Fred Hollis rec
ord. But Fred may rest assured
that the ARGUS man will not .'doc-
tor the returns of MI. Brown,
but will "tote fair and will give
the fgures-not even as "reports
ed" by him but as actually OBJ
served by US. Mr. Brown has
been SO long associated with the
"circulation editer' of this paper
that when it comes to counting
birds, wild turkeys, squirrels and
fish that he himself brought down

returns were sufficient to assure
him that Mckinley was elected
and he felt that his job would be
secure four years more as post
master he decorated the build
ing with Federal flags. The front
of the posto&ce was a mass of flags
when the postmaster retired that
night about 2-30 o'clock. Bright
and early next morning he hurr
ried down town to admire the
work he had done the night be-
fore, but when be got in sight OF
the postoRce not a flag was to be
seen. His first evil thought was
that the news of the night before
bad been coDtradicied and that
