A FINE SERMON.

Sunday night at st. Paui's Meth
odist church in this city, by invi-
tation, Rev. F. A. Bishop, pre-
siding Elder of the Washington
District, preached a sermon to
Ru6in Lodge, Knights of Pyth-
ians.
At Z o'clock, the Knights as
sembled at their castle hall, and
marched in a body to the church.
A large number of seats had
been reserved in the front part of
the church, and the long liue of
Knights, by twos, marched in end
were seated in the space provided
for them. In a few minutes, the
excellent choir of tie church be-
gan the voluntary with the open
ing ode of the Knights of Pythias,
"God Bless Our Knightly Band,
Firm May 1t Ever Stand, Throngn
Storm and Might" the Knights
themselves heartily joining 10 the
singing. The words of the beauti-
full ode, the splendid voices end
The notes of the great organ pro-
duced a most thrilling effect,
which swept over the entire au 4
ience that filed the big church.
Mr.. Bishop then began his SER
mon, which was in every way a
most excellent one. For an hour
ne held his audience, Knights and
laymen al alike, for tie speaker
cage with a mes saga to al the
people, and with power and elo-
que nee he delivered that message
to the great sudi. nee, who hung
upon his words.
The Knights of Pythias are
strong in Golasboro, as they de-
serve TO be, for the principles of
the order. a. Mr.. Bishop declared
them Sunday night, are principles
that can pevtr die.

by the cultured audience that en- .
core after encore followed. The
ladies desire the ARGUS to ac-
knowlt DE their thanks to the
Olympia Club, to those who SO
generously assisted them 10 the
evenings program, and to the pub
lie who SO lioeI ally patronized
them.
The ARGUS is glad to note that
a number of the higher grade pu-
pills of the Goldsboro Graded
School have organized a debating
society, known As the 81 b Vance
Debating Society,"" and have gone
earnestly to work discus ing pub
lie issues. No hing is more cal
cuIated 10 build these boys up in
to intelligent, well-ipformed, ag-
gressive, public spirited citizens
than this debating society which
they have organized, and we
heartily commend them. The
boys held a debate last. night on
.sResoived that the City Bonds for
Public Improvements were ad-
visable." The negative was sus-
tanned by Messrs. Israel Meyer
berg and Norwood Bass, and the
affirmative by Messrs. Clarence
Az cock aud Emmett Gulley. The
committee reported in favor Of
the affirm ative, but complimented
the fine speeches of the negative
supporters.
The stockholders of the electric
light plant will come into possess
sion of $25, 900 in cash as soon as
the city ear secure the money for
the bonds and turn it over to the
stockh" lders, The ARGUS does not
presume TO dictate how the stock
holders shall spend this money.
1t is their money and it is none
of Jul business what they do with
it, but we simply wish to suggest
that they invest it in some manu-
featuring enterprise which will
make money for the stockholders
and which will help Goldsboro at
the same time. Why not have a
knitting mill, or a cold storage,
or something else just IS good2
There will be no canvassing to
secure subscriptions: the money
will already be paid in, and the
ARGUS believes that those who
own the stock and who will soon
come into possession of the money
would rather invest it IN a manu-
featuring plant, where it will
make something ana do the town
good, than let IL lie idle. Thes Sc are
simple suggestions snd if 'hey are
W 18th anything we h Pc the stocks

spirit in which tnsy are rendered

Sufferers from this horrible ma1ady
nearly always inherit it-rot necessarily
from the parents, but may be from ON
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant i'll the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap-
pearance-or a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part of the body,
gives the first warming.

nently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the b1ood-every vestage
of it driven out. This S. S. S.. does, and
is the only medicine that can reach deep

When all the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease neve returns.
Cancer begins often in a small way, as the

MURDER OF P. H. KENNEDY
Murderess Seems to Possess an Album
dance of Nerve.

Kansas City, Jan. 12-Mrs Lulu
Kennedy, who Thursday evening shot
and killed her husband of month,
Philip H. Kennedy. contracting agent
of the Merchants Despatch Transpor-
tation company, passed restless night
in Jail. She refused the breakfast
brought her by the police matron, and
awaited meal ordered by her broth
er from a nearby hotel. She walked
to and fro, fretting at the delay. She
refused to talk to reporters of the
murder, except to inquire. with a
smile: Ibid they get out any ex-
tras. and did the papers say 1 was
good looking

said she. later Il will let the other
people do the talking.' The prisoner
ventured a witticism and turned
away. refusing to talk of her connec-
ton with the case. Developments
make it evident that the murder was
premeditated. In a scuffie following
the shooting a man struck Kennedy's
brother as he attempted to disarm
the murderess. Yesterday the mans
hat, who had disappeared before he
was identified, was found. 1t was
stated that the hat belonged to Mrs.
Kennedys brother, Bert Prince, but
the latter denies that heswas near the

Awny frcm Washington March !.
New York, Jan. 12.-Chancellor
MacCracken. of the New York uni
versfty, yesterday declined to allow
the students OF the university TO Far
ticipate in the inaugural parade in
Washington on March 4. In a letter
to the Washington committee Chancel-
Tor MacCracken says: Your request
to me as head of New York university
to indorse and assist in an effort to
gather the entire student body of this
university to the inaugural parade,
March 4. is received with thanks. l
Gm opposed to your movement for the
following reasons: First, the date is
near the heart of the college year.
when the students should be doing
their most earnest work. They cannot
then afford time for distant Journeys
which are not absolutely necessary.
-.t
My second reason is the expense.
New York university has 1900 stu
dents. A large majority of them
must practice economy TO obtain an
education. . Thirdly and final
1y. our l 800 young men can serve the
United States of America far more
effectively. at less expense of time
muscle and money, than by merely ap-
peaTing in an Inauguration demonStra
rion. The quiet student cannot slime

Havana Jan. 12.-The Cuban con-

decided by a practically unanimous
vote to insert in nsthe draft of the con-
stitution a clause providing for uni
versal suffrage in the future republic.
Only one vote. it is understood, was
cast against the proposal. Several
conservative members. who are known
to be opposed to it, were absent. but
the advocates of universal suffrage
claim clear majority, and say there
will be no opposition when the ques-
ton comes to vote in public session.
Heretofore this subject has been de-
licately handled, and it was thought
the convention would leave the set
tlement of the matter TO future legis-
lation. The friends of General Maxine

lar candidate for the presidency, are
elated over the prospect Of an unre-

In the Dispute with Venezuela
Over Those Asphalt Lake
Concessions.
BAooN's FEAR OF MILITARY PowER
Griggs and Carlisle on Territorial
Rights-Senate Passes the APP
portionment Bill.

Washington, Jan. 12.-The status Of
the Venezuelan controversy has not
been improved by the latest negoti2-
tions between the United States and
Venezuela, and this government has
demonstrated against the seeming de-
termination OF the Venezuelan authori-
ties to take executive cogniZance of
the asphalt rights, instead of leaving
them to the decision of the judicial
branch. The desire ofsthis government
from the outset has been that the mat
ter be left to the court, and it has
sought to impress this view upon the
Venezuelan government. But the latest
advices have indicated to officials that
Venezuela inclines to take executive
authority over the subject. The United
States has heretofore demonstrated
against such exercise of executive au-
thority. and there is the fullest belief
that Venezuela will not, under the
circumstances, insist upon carrying out
her view of taking the matter out OF
the hands of the courts.
Thinks It VIII Be a Dark Day.
Washington, Jan. 12.-In the senate
yesterday d vigorous attack was made
upon that portion of the army reor-
ganization bill, which confers upon the
president discretionary power to in
crease the strength of the army to the
maximum limit fixed by the bill. Ba-
con of Georgia began the attack. Re-
plying to Platt, Bacon said he thought
the country had fallen upon an evil
day when a senator could rise in this
chamber and express views which he
regarded as dangerous to the liberties
of the people and productive of one
man power, and it was an evil day
truly when the senator reflected the at
titude of the dominant party. The
passage of this bill" declared the
Georgia senator. will mark an epoch
in the United States. Senators may
scoff, but it is nevertheless true that
the passage of bill by which the
president shall control the size of the
army is a march toward empire"
Griggs' Long Look Ahead.
Washington, Jan. 12.-During his
speech before the supreme court on

probability of the acquisition of

say. He said at one point in his
speech that an import is something
coming from a foreign country. Porto
Rico cannot be a foreign country, for
its courts send appeals TO this body.
This is therefore not an import tax
but an export tax upon goods sent
out of these states and there are two
specific prohibitions against such ex-
port duties. Opinions of the court
were read TO show that that tribunal
had held that no duty might be laid
on exports from one state to another
as to Il foreign country. Following
this he argued that there could be no
export duty and said that there must
be fixed some time when Porto Rico
ceased to be foreign territory and
even with that point he urged that
the tax must be considered unconsti-
