A SCRAPE.
One Negro Shoots Another for
Stealing WatermelOns.

Stealing WatermelOnS.
Daily Argus, Thursday, Aug %.
For some time Tom Raynor, a
colored man who lives over in
Webbtown, has been missing
watermelons from his field in the
rear of the cemetery, and last
night he secured Mr.. G. G. Dail's
gun aud got Mr.. Dali to go with
him to his water melon patch.
When the two reached the scene
they found three negroes sitting
down eating q watermelon, and
Rayner testified at the prelimi-
nary hearing before Justice
Broadhnrst this morning that
Richard White ordered him and
Mr.. Dali to stop, and threatened
to shoot, w%hereupon Rsyner drew
his gun and shot into the crowd,
the entire load Of shot striking
Richard White in the face and
left shoulder. The two negroes
with White, who were his broth
err, Frank White aud Ward Kir-
by, we're not struck by the shot,
but they all ran from the field
and brought Richard up in the
city, where a medical examines
ton revealed the fact that he had
been seriously wounded and his
condition to-day is considered
critical.
This morning Rsynor took out
a warrant against the three nee
groes for stealing his waters
melons and the case came up be-
fore ex-Mayor J. 3. Peterson,
who postponed the hearing until
next Monday, because Richard
White could not be present, and
required Frank White and Ward
Kirby to give bond for their ap-
pearance, which they could not
do and were sent to jail.
A warrant was issued by JUS
tice Broadhurs5 Cor Raynor for
shooting White, but this case
was also postponed until Monday,
because Of the condition of White,
and Raynor was required to give
a $500 bond for his appearance,
| which he did.

COTTON TIES GO UP.

Last February ties we're sold
by jobbers in Memphis at 70
cents a bundle; they are now
worth S1.27 a bundle, and they
are quoted at Sl.50. A bundle
weighs As pounds, and contains
80 ties III feet long, or enough
to hold in five bales. These ties
are brought to the Memphis mar.
ket from Pittsburg by fully laden
barges in seasons of high water.
At ST.. SO a bundle each bag of
cotton will be taxed on account
Of ties 80 cents, and no one
knows as yet what the supply
will be, or what the price will be.
These problems depend Of course
upon the course of the strike in
the steel trusts hoop mills. It. is
endeavoring to open it's hoop
mills, but it is plain its openings
are not very promising SO far as
outputs are concerned, however
efficient they may be in breaking
the backbone of the strike.
But strike or NO strike there is
no reason why ties should not be
made in the heart of the South,
where ores, fuel and anx exist in
greatest abundance. The Farmers
Alliance should put a special
committee in charge of this SUBJ
iect. In no ether way can the new
South SO we'll serve every cotton
acre as by making cotton ties. It
is the plain duty of this section. 1t
is its best opportunity also.
AS things stand now the steel
trust can squeeze the cotton farmer
at pleasure. Nc ties can be inn
ported, and the steel trust is left
free to decide what its tax upon
cotton shall be.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

The anxiety Which is felt in
some parts of Europe lest TIE
VerZ1alan Colombian trouble
shall lead to further annexation
of territory by the United States
is quite unfounded. We can as
sur these false prophets that
nothing is farther from our pur-
poses than an extension Of Amer
lean Jurisdiction. The respoasi-
bilities already resting on this
government are sufficiently great.
and we shall neither annex any
portions Of the continent now in
a state of war nor intefsre be-
tween the various belligerents
except il defense Of our treaty
rights.
The United States concern in
the outcome of this Central Amer
lean disturbance is deep. Our
interest in the movements Of the
republics on this continent is le-
climate and natural, and at this
time, when we are On the eve of
a Pan.American Congress and
when the United States govern
ment is projecting g transisth-
mian canal, our solicitude is not
now to be concealed. For years,
by diplomatic efforts, we have
aimed to promote peace among
the various American govern
ments. Il they could be taught
to arbitrate their differences we
hoped that THAR industries would
thrive and that they would be-
come active buyers Of our pro-
ducts. We have done all this
without contemplating any at
tacks upon the independence Of
the Latin American governments.
The Monroe doctrine was formu-
lated to safeguard the separate
existence Of the States aud pros
tect them against the land greed
of Europe. In guaranteeing their
independence no reward has been
sought or has come 10 us other
| than the general welfare CT the
| continent.
The conceptions Of the Monroe
| doctrine which are held in Europe
seem to be cloudy and contradics
tory to the last extreme. That
doctrine does not prevent France
or Germany from sending war
ships to South American waters.
We are sending vessels there to
defend our rights and they have a
similar privilege. We ehall not
interfere and neither shall they.
The war is an American war, and
it will be confined to those Dationa
which have been unfortunate
enough to get themselves involved
in it regardless Of what r the
grievances or what the hidden
purposes Of the participants.
The Monroe doctrine does not
enter into the controversy, as
many people in Europe seem to
suppose, and it cannot and will
not until some European governs
ment takes the initiative anc
makes it unhappily necessary fol
US to appeal to this traditional.

For the benefit of those who
will go on Pipkio's excursion TO
Buffalo on the 4th of September,
the ARGUS has made some inqu1r-
les in reference to the route over
which the excursionists will pass,
and the schedule which will be obs
served.
The excursion train will leave
Goldsboro at 1890 p. NJ, after
the arrival of the regular trains
from Newbern, Wilmington and
Raleigh, and parties along these
different lines can come in on those
trains aud have plenty of time In
which to purchase tickets aud have
their baggage checked. After
leaving Goldsboro the train will
proceed on to Rocky Mount. MAX
ing stops at all stations, and from
Rocky Mount to Tareoro, where
the last stop will be made for pas
sengere. Then the run to Norfolk,
over the Norfolk and Carolina
railroad, will be made without in
corruption. This is an excellent
piece of road and through trains
observe a schedule approximatiug
so miles an hour. It is a beautl-
full section of country, and the
scenery along the route is suh-
GENTLY varied TO be Interesting all
the time. Primers Point will be
reached about 6 o'clock in the at
ternoop, when the excursioulsts
will exchange their dusty seats In
a railroad coach far a comfortable
chair on the deck of a palatlal
steamboat, and then begins the
ALL might run owe the bay and up
the historic Potomac to the Capt.

Sitting On the deck, as the ship
moves out into the stream, the
traveller gets a fine view OF the
harbor at Norfolk, with all sorts
of craft-here a little white-wing-
ed saIlboat dancing along over the
waves, there a great ocean ship,
floating the far-away flag OF a
country beyond the seas, yonder a
mammoth Amer can man-of-war,
with our own country's flag, SO
dear to our hearts, and a little fur
aher away Old Point Comfort,a and
the grim guns Of Fortress Monroe.
Then away goes the snip over the

is YEARS FOR WINTERS.
The Last Bar of Gold Recovered
By the Company.

By the Company.
San Francisco, August 21.-
Jack Winters, who stole $32O,0OO
in gold bullion from the Shelby
Smelling Works, was sentenced
to-day at MARTINEZ to Is years in
the State prison. There is a sus-
picion that the Court has been
used to secure a new trial for
Winters. In the first place as de-
tectives only had circumstantial
evidence against Winters, the sem
tence is considered excessive. The
judge in his sentence declared he
would impose the limit Of the law.
Then he added these peculiar
words: 81 believe that any man
who enters a building for the pur-
pose of stealing is no better than
a murderer, for if caught in the
act, I believe he would commit
murder to protect himself. I be-
lieve you would, too"
Lawyers who read this charge
agree that it furnishes ground for
an appeal and that the Supreme
Court caonot sanction it, but will
be sure to declare the language
used illegal, The last two bars
of bullion we're recovered Tues
day, so the smelling works lose
nothing by the crime.

the train enters the valley Of the
Susquehana river, where the
stream is about a mile wide. The
scenery through this fertile coun-
try is interesting as we'll as beau
tiful, The next stop is made at
the capital Of the Quaker State,
Harrisburg and then comes Sun
bury, Wllliamsport, Loeb Ha-
ven and Emporia. all Of which
are cities Of importance. After
leaving the last named place the
cars begin to ascend the tall
slopes Of the Allegheny Noun
tains. We have followed the
Susquehana river from where
the stream was a milo wide until
it has become a mere rivulet
ItricAling down the side of the
mountain. The Allegheny is
crossed at Keating's Summit,
from where a splendid view Of
the prodigies of nature are afs
forded. There are no rugged
peaks or cliffs at this point, but
the summit and sides of the
mountains are clothed in green
verdue which, from q distance
has a velvet like smoothness very
inviting to those who have an
eye for the beautiful and grand
in nature.
After crossing the mountains
the trains enter the oil fields of
! Pennsylvania, which are of inter-
est to everybody. Then we come
to the border line of the great
State Of New York, at the town
of Orleans, where there are sew
eral large Oil reiueries and in
Vulnerable oil tanks dot the hill
sides of the surrounding country.
From here the train speeds
across the State to Buffalo
through a highly cultivated re-
gion. Just at this season buck
wheat is n bloom. Hundreds of
acres can be seen along the route.
It grows about IL inches high
and is covered with a wreath Of
white blossoms.
The entire trip from Washing
ton to Bufaloo is made during
daylight and covers about -
houre. Besides the places men-
toned en- the route, which are the
most important, there are num-
bers of towns and villages,
through which the train glides
like a cannon ball and the panora-
ma of scenery changes with the
rapidity of a projectoscope, almost.
On reaching Buffalo our de-
scriptive journey is ended. We
shall make no attempt to tell of the
many and varied attractions al
the Exposition. It were useless
TO attempt to describe the exhibit
as a whole, and certainly no one
would undertake to give details
