nishes the Best.
"Most billiard cues" said a New York
manufactures the other day, are made
in two pieces-the cue proper and the
handle. The cue is made generally of
maple, and the butt, which is wedge
shaped, is inserted into handle of
rosewood, snakewood, ebony, mahog-
any, walnut or some other fancy dark
wood, which is cut TO dovetail with the
long part.
The maple wood used in making the
handles is sawed into suitable lengths
and seasoned. The logs are then split
into pieces from which the handles are
made. These pieces are called bolts.
The bolts are sawed approximately to
the shape of the handle 10 be finally
made, and in this shape they are han
die blocks. The handle block is turned
To the shape of the handle in a lathe,
and when the butt has been fitted it is
finished and polished
The finest and best cues are fitted
to the handle or butt by means OF n
double wedge. At the top of the cue is
n ferrule of ivory. of horn or bone. in
which the leather tip is fitted. While
the ivory ferrule is the most expensive,
of course 1t is less durable than the
horn or bone ferrules, which are less
liable TO crack. The extra workman
ship on cues is put in on the butts.
some of which are elaboratcly inlaid
and carved i'm beautiful patterns.
There are number of billiard play
ers who will not permit another person
to use their cues. and for the use of
these particular players cues arc turn
ed out from which the tips may be un-
screwed. leaving the cue with unfinish-
ed points and useless.
American billiard cues are the light
est, strongest and neatest made any
where in the world. They are made
in all weights and lengths and rank in
price from 30 cents to SO and more
each, according to the quality and fin
ish of the article.-WashinGton Star.

ENeLAND's FIRST SHIP.
Great Harry Was the COuntry's Pre-
mier Fighting Machine

OF the first ship. properly speaking.
OF the British navy. known as the
Great Harry. the following particu-
lars are given in an old number OF the
Mechanics Magazine. dated Oct. p,
1873:
The Great Harry was built by King
Henry VII at n cost of f14.OOO, and
was burned at Woolwich, through acci-
dent. in 1853
Though King Henry. as well as
other princes. hired many ships. eX-
elusive of those which the different
seaports were obliged To furnish. he
seems thus to have been the first king
who thought Of avoiding this incon-
venience by raising such a force as
might be at all times sufficient for the
service of the state. Historians tell us
that he caused his navy, which had
been neglected in the preceding reign.
To he put i'm condition TO protect the
British coasts against all foreign inva-
sions. and that in the midst of pro-
found peace lie always kept up a fleet
ready To act.
In August, 1J12. the Regent, ship
Of 1000 tons. which was at that time
the largest vessel in the British navy.
was burned and TO replace it the
Great Harry. or as il was also known,
the Henry Grace de Dieu, was built in
1918.
The vessel, Of about 1000 tons bur
den. was manned 10y 349 soldiers, 301
marines and 30 gunncrs. She had four
masts and portfolios on both decks aud
III other parts.
Before the time of her construction
the cannon were placed above deck
and on the PROV and poop. One De
charges, n French builder at BreSt, is
said TO have invented portfolios.
In list of the British navy, as il
stood on Ian. >, 154S, the Great Harry
is said TO have carried 10 brass aud 103
iron pieces of ordnance.
The name of the ship is supposed TO
have been changed in the reign of Ed
ward VI 10 Edward, which, on Aug.
20. 1852. was reported to be still lin
good case to serve" and was ordered
Ito he grounded and calkcd once a

The Lesson lie wanted.

In his autobiography, up From Slav-
cry" Booker II. Washington tells an
amusing anecdote of an old colored
man who during the days of slavery
wanted TO learn how TO play on the gui-
tar. In his desire to take guitar les
sons he applied TO one of his young
masters to teach him. But the young
man, not having much faith in the
ability of the slave to master the gui-
tar Mt his age, sought to discoura ge
him by telling him: Uncle Jake, / will
give you guitar lessons. But, Jake, l
will have to charge you So for the first
lesson. 81 for the second lesson and 81
for the third lesson. But l will charge
you only % cents for the last lesson"
Uncle Jake answered: "Al right,
boss, 1 hires you on dem terms. But,
boss, wants yer to be sure an give me
dat las lesson first"

He was an earnest, exemplary

MIR. N. TEL. GURLEY DEAD.
He Died at His Home in Johns
ton County Monday.

~ OOAAAAO OAOAASACN
The news OF the death of MI.
II. II. Curly at his home 10
Johnson county on Monday was
received with genuine regret by
his many friends in this city to-
day.
He took snpper with Mr.. Tom
Mas ey ,inSmithfeld, Sunday night
and went home seemingly in good
health. He di, suddenly at 4
O'Clock MONDAY morning.
1t Is very probable that the in
terment will be made at the fnm,ly
burylDg ground on his plantation
lin Fork township.
In saying that this community
regrets to hear of this good mans
death is but mildly expressing it.
Genuine and deep sorrow pervades
the hearts of his many friends
and acquaintances throughout this
county, where he was We'll known
and where he bad lived all his lie
until about two years ago, whrn
he married the second time and
changed his residence to Johnston
county.
We might 60 on and sum uI
his virtues and excellent traits OF
character if they were not SO well
known. They need no introduc.
ton from this source. W. coult
say nothing that would be more
to his credit than to tell that he
was a brave Confederate soldier
and carries with him to his las
resting place wounds that he re
ceived on the field of battle. He
was a prominent character at al
gatherings of the Democratic part,
while he was a citizen of thi'
county and did the party ~excellen
service which will not soon be
forgotten.
Funeral was held Tuesday after
, noon at the old homestead in Forl
township, where the intermen
was made in the family buryins
ground.

GOldsbOrO Juniors VS. Mt. Olive
Babies.
Mt. Olive Advertiser.
The Goldsboro Juniors came to
town last Thursday and literally
wiped up a wet and muddy dia-
mond with the carcasses of the
Mt. Olive Babies.
1t is really surprisingtha boys
who have even seen a game play
ed, could play SO poorly; and be-
fore the Babies ever attempt to
play another match game we sug-
gest they take a six months
course of infant food and matted
milk, and then should not go on
the diamond without a supply OF
paregoric and soothing syrup for
the use of those who confound a
case of belly ache with a desire ta
kick.
There was not a single credita-
BILE feature in the affair, so far
as the home boys are concerned,
and we suggest that they get q
team, practice and learn some
thing about the game before they
enter any more match games. The
score wa 10 to 6 in favor of the
Goidsboro Juniors.

an absence of nearly threemonths,
during which time he has been

teemed.

Mr.. Geo. W. Best in the meat
market business last winter, will
open a market under the Airing

ing. While with Mr.. Best he

The funeral was held from the

An erqni1y has been rec lived
by the ARGUS from the manager Of
the great Wallace Show, asking
about taxes. The lowest tax at
which a big show and side show
can exhibit in any county in No tn
Carolina now is $500 per day, and
the highest limit any county en-
charge. over end above the Safe
tax, is $1,000 per Gay. 1t is prob
able that we will have no biz
shows in North Carolina this year
nor until after another leoisle-
ture.
Some weeks ago the litlo
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. J M.

ear; but the mother thought the
child had only ear-ache, and doc
tored accordingly. Last week Il G
child again complained Of severe
pain in the a and insisted that
she bad a tack in it, A physician
was called in and after anexami-
nation it was found that the child
was right, and the tack is SO fan
in that an operation will be neces.
sary to remove it, and aadanger.
Gus one at that. We hope, how
ever, that no serious results vii.
ensue.

A young alligator, measuring
three feet in length, was found
last Friday in the big ditch,
where another young one, not
quite so large, was found about
four years ago. The question that

where did these tropical swamp
inhabitants come from.
The old shelters that did cover
