THE TERROR OF TERRORS.
The Lament of a Citizen Vino
is Afflicted With the Grip.

EarIy this morning a well
known citizen of GOldsoOrO came
to this Office with a flushed count
enance and a warm temper and
said thai the object OF his visit al
such an hour was TO acquaint the
ARGUS with some necessary facts
relative to his obituary while he
was yet alive. "For," he said.

hours in this vale of sorrow are

orphan, betrayed a woman's

BANK OF WAYNE.
1T Rounds the Half Million Mark:
Has $40, 100000 Surplus and
Passes S25,OOO.OO to IN
divided Profits.

Somehow, whenever-and wher-
ever the "Bank of Wayne Is
mentioned the very sound of the
name conveys to the popular mind
the idea Of stability, integrity and
substantial progress. Such has
ever been the prerogative OF this
splendid institution, which from
it's incipiency, by virtue of toe
high character of the men at the
head of it's affairs, has enjoyed
the unquestioning confidence OF
the banking public and the COM
mercial world, and this confidence
has crystallzed toto an abiding
faith. as year after year it's annual
statements have been published
showing its ste ady progress and
widening patronage, while all who
have come to have dealings with
it are impressed with the sound
character of it's business methods.
The ARGUS has come all along
through the years with the Bank
of Wayne, noting in these coll
ums it's progress from time to
time and taking cheer ever in the
generous aid it has as all times
extended to and the broad
patriotism it has manifested to~
wards every worthy enterprise
looking to the material develop
ment of Goldsboro and the ads
yancement of our people.
In this issue, elsewhere, we
publish the annual statement of
this bank for the last year of the
old century, based on the usual
investigation of it's board of di~
rectors, who, besides declaring a
semi-annual dividend of 4 per
cent, payable on and after Feb
ruary Ssh, have, as will be seen,
passed over 1875, 900 to undivided
profits, while maintaining a surs
plus of $40, 900.
1t will be seen, too, that the
Bank Of Wayne has rounded the
halt-million mark-a splendid
showing with which TO begin the
new year of the new century.
The ARGUS points to this
statement not only with pride IN
the institution that makes it, but
in Goldsboro as well, for the
statement of no other bank in the
State can approach it, on a like
capital stock, showing, thereby
that we've got the best town in
the State.

tlme last year. Many large consignments
Will arrive at Duluth before the end of
the month but owing to a comparative
shortage of care in the East deliveries
az lower lake docks will not be so heavy

mas been occasioned by the starting I'D of
the large steel plants and the sudden
rush OF business to all points of the
country. At Cleveland it was reported
last week that the scarcity of cars was
becoming a serious matter. even the ore
traffic suffering seriously.
Coal men at Duluth are authority for
the statement that up to Oct ! shipments
We're fully 100000 tons less than normal
and the situation is even worse now
80 far as hard coal is concerned. there
is no cause for alarm, as shipments have
been fully up to the average and most
OF the local firms have already got in the
bulk of their winter supply 1t is thought
that there is no danger of prices being
sent up another notch for two months at
least and perhaps no more advances will
be decided upon this winter.
The present outlook is therefore that
there will be a decided scarcity of the
bituminous variety with the supply OF
the hard coal about normal. A severe
winter WILL of course, mean a difference
of many thousands of tons
of hard coal consumed, and
it is only uncertainty on this
point that prevents much larger supplies
being obtained by wholesale dealers all
over the Northwest. AS it is the de-
mand each year is increasing at a steady

WORLDS WHEAT CROP
DEPARTMENT OF Agriculture
MAKES THREE ESTIMATES
OffciaI Reports From Russia state
That meteorological COndi-
tiOns Are UnfavOrabIe
for Cereals.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13-The depart
ment of agriculture announces that the
three most important estimates of the
worlds wheat crop of 1901 so far made
agree that the crop is larger than that of
either of the two preceding years. The
estimates follow: Hungarian minister of
agriculture, 2,261, 100000 bushels of sixty
pounds. Beerbohm's Corn ylst of Lon
don, 2,711 COO bushels, of sixty pounds,
and Bulletin des Halles, or Paris, 2, $780,
10000 Winchester bushels. Our depart
ment withholds its opinion as to the de-
gree in which the worlds crop has been
appropriated in any of these estimates
until a considerably larger number of Of
fetal returns is available
The official Hungarian estimate says
the crop exceeds last years by 209,SS1 600
bushels of sixty pounds, or by PIP, 1870, 900
Winchester bushels According to Beer
bohm. the excess over last years crop is
200. 2O0 600 bushels of sixty pounds, and ac-
cording to the Bulletin des Halles the ex-
cess is 1856, III, coo Winchester bushels The
principal increase is credited to the
United States, Canada and India though
various other countries are credited with
larger crops than they had in 1900.
Official reports from the Russian minis
try of finance, received at the agricul-
tural department, state not for a long
time nave meteorological conditions IN
Russia been SO unfavorable to the cereal
crops as during the season concluding
with the harvest of 1901. These advices
estimate the following yield for 1907
Wheat, S91, 221 600 bushels of sixty pounds

cial figures of 422, 1893, OC0 bushels for the

mate is 7O9 357 GOO bushels OF fifty-siX

COASTER CAME TO GRIEF
bICh Gle SMASHED AND RIDER
HURT IN A COLLISION.

A collision that might easily have re-
suited fatally, between wheeIman ana
a horse and buggy occurred at Sixth
street and Pleasant avenue shortly be-
ICre o'clock last evening The rider of
the bicycle was coming down the Sixth
street hill al great deal higher rate of
speed than is safe either for wheelmen
themselves or for pedestrians
He was coasting and before he could
turn out came in contact with the rear,
OF the buggy, full tilt, and was thrown
a considerable distance in front of the
rig, striking on his face, which was
somewhat skinned, and tearing his CLOTH
ing almost to fragments.
There was hardly enough of the wheel
left to make good sized handful and
the men in the buggy refused to stop to
see what the damage was, but continued
on their way while the wheelman pulled
himself together and began to heap abuse
upon the driver.
He found little sympathy. however
from those who witnessed the accident
the majority of them thinking that it
was the result of foolhardy riding The
wheelman betook himself and certain
portions of his wheel off before his
identity could be learned.
