How They Hunt in Mindanao.

The soldiers go of for a hunt now and
then In the forest and they usually are
well paid for their time. The natives ara
fond of hunting and help them. The other
day the ex-president OF the town took a
party of the officers ana soldiers out to a
hunt "a la Mindanao." He had half
dozen great nets. EACH six feet high and
nifty feet long, which his men carried out
10 the woods They took them u an open
place and so set them up that they fenced

fastened 10 strong. short poles driven
firmly into the ground and the upper
ends. through which rope was run. were
hooked over high poles in such a way
that IL anything ran against the net IL
would slip on at the top and fall down,
ineiosing the obstructing animal in such
a way that the harder II pushed and
struggled against the net the more tight

the three Sides OF square OF about two
acres From the corners OF the opening
the hunters placed themselves in long
lines ready 20 shoot anything that came
in the direction OF the net CORPS of
retainers ana slaves with spears and boz
los were then started out with dogs TO
get Up the woods for several miles around.
They were so arranged that all the game
was driven toward the net and. after an
hour or so, half dozen deer, two hogs
and a drove OF peccaris came rushing to-
ward the opening Several were shot by
the soldiers and three hogs tangled them

AGAIN THE
The Eclipse Fire Company is Still the
Proud Boast of Goldsboro.

Proud Boast of Goldsboro.
Daily Argus, Friday.
The brief notice in the ARGUS
yesterday. telling of the victory
won by the Eclipse Fire Company
in Wilmington, was read with
pleasure by Goldsboro people
generally, but was not the oc>
casion of any surprise whatever.
This is not the first time this
company has lowered the worlds
record. On the 28th of July, in
1898, when the State Firemen's
tournament was in session in
Goldsboro, this same company
made a record of 38 3.5, the low
est ever made by any company,
the world over, and yester-
day lowered that record by LIS,
Therefore, while the news has
caused rejoicing among the
friends of that company, it was
nothing more than was expected.
This record will, perhaps, go
down in history a the lowest
| ever made and furnish a goal for
aspiring competitors. 1t will also
stand as a monument to the faith
| full aud skillful work of the entire
company.
The reports say that Goldsboro
No. 1 had bad luck again. They
failed to make connection at the
hydrant, and but for this unfor-
tunate circumstance, this COM
pany would have made an excel
lent showing. They were in splen'
did practice,
That any company from Colds.
boro should win in a contest o.
skill and d%exterity is sufhcien'
cause for rejoicing On the par
of all our people. We undoubt
eddy have the best volunteer fir
department in the South, and il
proof of this assertion we hav'
only to mention that Goldsbort
has not had a fire in more thai
fifteen years that did any dam
age worth the mention in thi
c connection.

REGISTER NOW.

The ARGUS wishes again to
call the attention of it's readers
to the Importance of registering.
There is an entire new registra~
ton this year, and 40 matter how
often you have registered and
voted before, you must register
again this year, or you cannot
vote.
The time of registration is
more limited than usual and only
a few days remain in which you
may qualify yourself to vote.
Registration closes next Satur-
day, the 21st.
The election this year is of the
greatest Importance and your
vote may be needed in deciding
the great issues that are to be
settled within a few weeks. It
is the part of wisdom for you to
register now so that nothing can
intervene to prevent your quail
flying as a voter. Call on your reg
lister at once and see that your
name is properly entered on the
books.
Some Democrats are manifest
ing a feeling of Indifference be.
cause they say the negroes are
taking no interest in this cam
paign, and the amendment is car
ried any way.
Do not let them deceive them
selves. The registration books
show that every negro and every
Republican who has a vote is
qualifying, and there is even ar
attempt to rush in negroes who
have nc right to vote. The Re
publicans are simply keeping th'
negro in the background in Dr.
der to make the whites believe b.
is not to figure in the campaign
But rest assured that every negro
in the State who is not too sick t.
get out or who is not in Jail will
be at the polls on election day wit
his ballot in his hand.
The constitutional amendmen
will be carried by a large major
ity. But the Democrats must leav
nothing to chance. They mus
l make assurance doubly sure.

Daisy [. Hood occurred last night
at s o'clock, of consumption, at
the home of her mother, in this
city. She had only been i'll for
three or four weeks and her death
came as a sudden shock and has
caused her family inexpressible
anguish and abiding sorrow. She
was an amiablc and beautiful young
lady, beloved by all who knew
her and a Jealous church member
and worker, and a benediction in
her home. She was in her 10Th
year, and a daughter Of the late
E. B. Hood and sister Of Messrs.
George E. and Paul Hood, the for
mer one of the Democratic candi-
dates for the House from this
county. The sincere sympathy of
many friends is rendered the fam
lily in their extremely sad and un-
timely bereavement. The funeral
was held at 1890 to-day, at the
home, Rev. DR.. F. D. Swindell,
officiating, and the remains were
taken to the old family homestead
in Grantham township for inter
ment. The floral tributes were
