A TIMELY SUGGESTION.
To the Honorable Board uf County
Commissioners:

Commissioner:
Gentlemen:-I am reliably in
formed that it will be two months
before the Broadhurs bridge will
be repaired so that passing is pos
sible; and that it will probably be
four months before the Arlington
bridge will be passable. This, it
seems, is unreasonable, and will
work a great hardship and incon-
venience on the people beyond the
river, besides being a great dis
advantage to the farmer in mark
citing his tobacco, cotton and other
produce; and is also o great dis
advantage to the merchants of this
city. I, therefore, pray you at
your next monthly meeting to take
this mater under due and serious
consideration, and arrange for the
most ditious repara,i n to
these bridges possihl".
Respectfully submitted,
W. X. PARKER

Raleigh News.O Observer.

ruptcy yesterday heard the bank

Kinston. The case resulted from
the failure of the bank at Kinston

a schedule of the banks affairs
might be prepared. This was
granted, For the creditors Mr..
L -

BIG TOBACCO BREAKS.
OPENING OF THE SEASON IN
GOLDSBORO.
One Hundred Thousand Pounds
Sold at Satisfactory Prices on
the Floors of Our Ware
houses TODAY.
Daily Argus, Aug. 1st.


The tobacco warehouses in
Go'dsboro presented a busy scene
to-day. This "a the opening OF
the season and it seemed as if
every planter in Wayne county
as we'll as from nearby counties
wanted to get their tobacco on
the floor for the opening break.
All through the day yesterday
and last night carts and wagons
were arriving by every thorough
fare leading into the city and
this morning up to the time for
the sales to begin there was one
constant stream of vehicles pour
ing into the city loaded with all
grades of the ''golden weed"
The sales began promptly at 10
o'clock this morning and the
Fl Dor of each warehouse was
crowded with business man of
the city as we'll as with the plans
tiers, all of whom were anxious
to see what prices would prevail,
as it is generally understood that
a forecast of the prices for the
coming season will be made at
the opening 'break" on any mar.
ket. If the prices paid today
continue through the season, as
tobacco men tell US they will,
every man in Wayne county who
owns a ten acre farm will put
part Of his acreage in tobacco
next year. The meanest tobacco
offered for sale brought from 5
to 8 cents, while the better grades
ranged all the way from 9 to Is
and Is cents. There was no really
fine grades of the weed on the
floors, as 1t is too early for sush.
The opening sale was held at
the Planters Warehouse, which
drew the lucky number, and
the first pile Of tobacco was
bought by MI. Asa Parham, the
popular and huslling young rep
resentative of the American To-
bacco Company on this market.
The second sale was held at the
Farmers Warehouse, and the
third aud last was held at the
Banner Warehouse. At each
place the force of employees had
all they could attend to. The
quantity was pretty we'll dis
trlbuted at each place, except at
the Banner Warehouse, which
had a few thousand pounds more
than the others.
The planters who had tobacco
here to-day left for their homes
with light hearts and bright
couutenances. Their most san.
guine expectations in reference
to prices had been realized. They
had spent all the money they had
expected to spend, had bought all
they had expected to buy and
left for their homes and families
with a balance in their pockets
which they had not counted on,
and was a result of the high
prices they received for their to-
bacco.

AS TO THOSE

GoldsborN N. c.. Aug. 8, 1901.
EDITOR ARGUS:-The com
m%unication by Mr.. ". K. Parker
OF this city, in yesterdays
ARGUS. referring to the Broad.
hurst and Arringtou bridges, is
misleading and calls fer a reply,
as others, like Mr.. Parker, may
have given credence to false ru-
mors in circulation. The lumber
and other material is now on the
ground at the Broadhurst bridge
and work on same is berg push-
ed as rapidly as such work can
be done. Bills for the material
to repair Arlington bridge are
in the hands of the lumber mer,
who will be delivering same next
week.
The commissioners fully real
ize the Inconvenience to the peo-
pie, the loss ETC., and are doing
all that can be done. and will get
the bridges repaired at the very
earliest possible date. Certainly
are they sparing no effort to get
the work completed, and have
not spared auy since the bridges
were rendered impossible by the
recent freshets.

AFTER LONG WAITING
Dr.. Frank McGInnis Passes to
His Rest.

DIR. ]. Frank McGinnis died yesterda.
morning about 8 o'clock. at his home OIL
west Auburn street, on the anniversar!
of his birth, aged SO years. His deatt
was peaceable and painless. He hal
been an invalid for more than twenty
years, enduring great suffering from,
locomot0r ataxia, and for about a
month, had been worse than usual and
was confined to his bed most of the
time. Sunday he was able to sit up for
. short time. Yesterday morning, he
asked his wife to give him q drink OF
water, and as she lay him back upon
his pillow, his spirit took its flight
His end was peaceful and he entered
into the Christians rest.
DR.. McGinnis was born In Ross coun-
ty, Ohio, December 30, 1912 His pa
rents moved to Hardin county, when
he was . child; thence to Allen county,
where the Doctor enlisted in the 191st
Ohio regiment. In the first days fight
at Corinth, Mississippi, October A, 1862,
he was wounded. That night he lay
In the Tishimingo House, it having
been turned into hospital, and during
the night, he and the other wounded
were driven from the hotel by rebel
battery that opened on the hotel.
From this wound, Mr.. McGinnis was
incapacitated for service, and was
later discharged. He came to Belle
fontaine In 1854, and entered into a
partnership In the dental business
with DR.. A E. Griffin, with whom he
remained till the failure of his health
compelled him to retire from the bust
ness. For several years he was City
Clerk and Secretary of the Lake aud
Logan Building and Loan Societies,
and was agent for . number of the
leading fire insurance societies. For
ten or fifteen years he had been con-
fined TO his homo, with the exception
that in pleasant weather he could
drive about the city.
In 1856 he was married to Mss Ida
youngest daughter of Mr..
Josiah shuffelton, who has patiently
cared for him through his long suffer-
ing, and is left with an adopted daugh-
ter to mourn their great loss.
Mr.. McGinnis was one OF the kindli-
est Of men. Amia"le, upright, intelli-
gent. patriotic, patient In suffering,
kind, DIR. Frank McGinnis had none
but friends In . large circle of ac-
quaintance, and his death is sincerely
by many beyond the circle of
his relatives,
DR.. McGinpis was . member OF Eu-
gene Reynolds Post and of the Mason
10 order. The latter will conduct his
funeral services, Thursday, and the
pail bearers will be from his comrades

Ais Well That Ends Well.

A young lady in this city received by
telephone, through another, an invita-
tion on Christmas morning to dine with
a family of friends. Now, there are
two families in town by the same name
and she wasn't real sure at which place
she was required. The only way was
TO try to find out. She went to G's and
at once saw other guests and a heavily.
laden dinner table, so she knew that
she had guessed the right place. She
felt little queer, however, when At
the dinner table, her hostess said, ~
am so glad. Marie, that you happened
to come to dinner today" After q
while sue called at the other house.
and the first thing the lady said was,
why didn't you come to dinner, we
waited on you ever so long," After the
explanations, there was hearty laugh
and the young lady received pressing
invitation to remain to supper. So it
turned out all right, after all.

G. A. R. POSTS HAVE NOT
ENDORSED R. P. KENNEDY.
Adjutant General Kasson Comes
Out in a Denial.

To the Editor of the Cleveland Leader.
We wish to call your attention to the
dispatch to the Leader from Bellefon-
taine in reference TO the candidacy OF
Robert p. Kennedy, Of Bellefontaine,
o., for the pension agency at Colum-
bus. We wish to emphatically deny
the statement made that Comrade
Kennedy is endorsed by the posts of
this department.. This would not be
tolerated for one moment by these
headquarters, as it would be strictly
contrary to the rules and regulations
of the G.. A. R.
Under no circumstances would any
movement that had the appearance Of
politics be tolerated by this admins
tration. We believe that this office
should be given to some worthy COM
rade of the G. A. R., but it would be
in violation to the rules of our order
to prefer or petition for any one COM
rade to the detriment OF the other, and
certainly we would prefer oomrade
for this position who has taken an
active part in our work.
Trusting that you will give this
matter publication, in order that the
g. A. r. Department of Ohio may
not be placed in q false position.
By order Of department commander.
Very truly yours, H, A. KAssoN,
A. A. Gen.

An UndipIomatic Diplomat.

tChamlers Roberts In The Worlds work.)
There is story exemplary of Ameri-
can kindness of heart and absolute lack
of all the fine nothngs of etiquette
which are the very breath of courts
and diplomatic life. The story concerns
a former American Minister to ST. Pc
tersburgh at one of the elaborate and
very formal receptions or levees which
the Emperor and Empress give on New
Years Dsy. All the diplomats stand
in line in their order of precedence and
Their Maj.sties walk down the line and
exchange greetings with each In turn
On this occasion the Empress, now the
Dowager, was not present, having just
given birth to one of the younger
Princesses. 1t seems also that the
good wife of the American Minister
was at home occupied with a similar
domestic duty. The Emperor came
down the line and asked after the
health of each of the gentlemen pres
cut, at the same time exchanging the
usual seasonable greetings.
Sc when he came to the American
he did ask the usual question: II hope
you have good news from homer" OI
course, he had, and our full-hearted
representative could not keep IL q
secret. "Yes, thank Your Majesty,
excellent news. 1t is boy and weighs

The Big FOUR
The Best Friend Of the City
Of Belfefontsine.

! The Big Four should be treated
with great consideration by our au-
thorities, and IL we have any favors to
show, we should throw them that way.
The boom the Big Four gave our
city has doubled our population. and
has largely increased the business OF
our city. From s20, 900 to s25, 900 In
money is paid out here per month by
this road, and going into business, fills
many q purse that would be fat with
out il.
The Big Four pays more tax to Belle
fontaine than it does to any city In the
State, including Cleveland and Cincin-
natl. This goes . good way towards
making improvements, sustaining our
schools, &c, &c.
Nor is this all. Mr.. Ipgalls, when
he made his first offer to our city. said
he would do good thing for our city,
and would add to their plant here,
from time to time, as the demands of
their business warranted. This they
have done, and there is . prospect OF
more to follow.
Under such circumstances, is 1t wise
to ship the coal bought by our city,
over other roads, instead Of over the
Big Four? A few cents saved In this
way, may be called Saving at the
spiggot and wasting at the bungW
Would it not wiser to help those who
help us?
A good deal may be made by showing
q friendly spirit toward the Big Four,
cultivating such opportunities.
