COMING TO G-OLDsBORo.
The Grau Opera Company
Will Stop at ButOne Place
i'm North Carolina.

On account of the strset car strike
in Norfolk, Goldsboro gets a date
from the Grau Opera Company,
one of the really first class attrac-
tons of the kind on the road. The
company is now in the South play
ing in the larger cities and on their
return home they intended to~stop
over and give Norfolk a date, and
on account of the street cars being
tied up by the strike they have de-
cided to cancel the Norfolk engage
ment and give Goldsboro a date.
People acquainted in the least with
the theatrical world know what the
Grau Opera Company is.1It needs no
recommendation from this source
and the only purpose which this
notice can serve isto inform the read
ers of the ARGUS that the company
will be here either on the 26th or
9th, and that reserved seats will be
on sale at the drug store of J. H.
Hill & Son at an early day.
The A. &. N. G. R. r., will run a
special train from Newbern on the
date of the show to return that night
after the show is over.

RICE CULTURE.

AS an item of interest and profit to.
our farmer readers, we would call
their attention to the following from
'Rice Industry" of Houston Texas,
for February:
cit has been demonstrated that
rice straw as a forage is superior to-
prairie hay; and last season where
properly cured and baled brought ST
to So per ton f. O.. b. at point of ship
ment. An acre Of rice produces about
two tons of straw, which at $3.50 per
ton means $500 per acre for the
straw which was formerly burned on
account of planters feeling it was Of
no use.0
This authority on the virtue Of
rice straw s~ustains the oft repeated
advice of.the ARGUS to our farmer
readers to plant rice, as a diversified
crop.

STRICTLY UNOFFICIAL.

Washington, March 5.-Miss Alice
Roosevelt, whose experiences in So
ciety and travel are already beyond
the ordinary, even for a daughter of
the President of the United States,
has accepted an invitation to visit
for several weeks the Governor Gen
eral of Cuba and Mrs. Leonard Wood
at the Governors palace in Havana.
Miss Roosevelt will leave for Cuba
next Sunday, accompanied by a
maid and chaperoned by Mrs. Har-
riett Blaine Beale, who is also to be
a guest of General and Mrs. Wood.
AS in the case of her proposed trip
to London, the Cuban visit is of an
unofficial character, but will neces-
sarily lead to much entertaining in
honor of the daughter of the Presi-
dent.

THE WEATHER.
Tt Would Seem That Springtime
Had Come. Gentle Annie.

50
Had Come. Gentle Annie.
Speaking about the weather-no
one is really speaking about it, but
that's a handy way to begin-the
sunshine and balmy airs of these
days suggest even to the unthinking
that springtime is at hand. Gentle
Annie, who every year asks ifspring-
time has come, will soon be figuring
in the public prints, and the answer
to her query will be an emphatic
yes.
It is rather a pleasant thought on
the whole to realize that spring is
coming and that winter with its cold
bills and coal bills Wilt be a back
number. AS they say ih'the goodoId
orthodox way of Sermon writing,
stLet us pause and consider what this
means for us.'
Are you a youngfmah? Then, per-
haps, your fancy will lightly turn to
thoughts of love: Some of the youth
Of the land have been known to be
thus affected, but the complaint is
short-lived and not serious.
Are you a young maiden? Then,
perhaps, your fancy will lightly or
seriously turn to thoughts of lingerie
and other spring millinery. This is
a much more serious problem than
love. The goddess of fashion is quite
a parsonage in the twentieth century.
Are you an old man? Then, doubt
less, spring will make little impress
sion. Nothing but the hot and burn
ing sun of summer, which will draw
out the rheumatism and Timber you
up, will produce much effect.
It is not necessary to inquire what
will happenif youare an old woman.
| Authorities differ as to what effect
spring has on old women.
But, however all this may be, it
is time to give the city a spring
cleaning, against the coming of hot
weather, in order that we may con-
tinue to have the healthiest as we'll
as the best town in the State.

THE FIRE LAST might.
Goldsboro Argus of Thursday.

Goldsboro Argus of Thursday.
A fire last night about 1880 O'Clock
did right much damage to several
bales of cotton which had been
placed for shipment on the platform
at the A. & N. C. R. R. freight de-
pot. It is presumed that the cotton
caught fire from sparks from the en-
gines shifting in the neighborhood.
There was a high wind blowing at
the time and it is quite certain that
the fire originated in the manner
mentioned, although it was not dis
covered until the flames were leaping
high into the air. Mr.. John Stanley,
the Watchman, was the first to dis
cover the blaze. He was in the ware
house at the time and ran out and be-
gan to blow the whistle on a freight
engine. This distressing signal at
tracted the attention of the fire de-
partment. The alarm was turned in
from box 81, but the fire alarm sys-
tenn was out of repair and the fire
bell did not ring. The fire depart
ment responded to the alarm from
the whistles on the locomotives and
soon had the fire under control.
There were Al bales of the cotton,
which was being shipped by III.
We'll & Bros. to the Kinston Cotton
Mill. The A. & N. G. r. r. gave a
bill of lading for this cotton yester-
day afternoon, and, of course, the
loss will fall ON the railroad COM
pany.
About 20 of the bales yer gotten
off the platform without being touch
ed by the fire and the remaining
number were more Or less damaged,
although there is not a single bale
that will be a total loss.

that this flow continues all through

lutely positive. Respondent further
shows that on the still higher part of

both the cut and the Smith springs, is
yet another spring of water; but of

reservoir was built there was dug at the
lower end of same almost entirely across
the narrow mouth of the valley, and
cutting through all the lower part or
dip of same, including the creek bed, a
ditch fifteen feet deep which was filled
by foundation or wall of concrete; yet
no underground streams were encoun-
tered; and the Dulaney springs, a mile
or less below, has never been affected,
but flows the entire year, as respondent
is informed,
Respondent confidently believes and
charges that the source of complainant
Smiths springs is in the aforesaid high
ridge above them. Respondent charges
that the allegation that complainant's
springs, miles below the rock-ribbed
and shut in valley, are In any wise de-
pendent upon or affected by any diver
sion of water by respondent in said up
per valley, is absurd upon its face; and
respondent denies that they are so de-
pendent or affected. All the water car
ried away by respondents pipes
amounts to only about 600, 900 gallons
daily, including what is saved from the
percolation above, and otherwise saved
as will be shown hereinafter); yet at
the same time, complainant's springs
below are yielding 1,4OO, 600 gallons

nation, that the flow of water from
complainants said springs has, through
all the years up to the present, remain

dents works were even contemplated.

actual facts are, that Notwithstanding
compliments plea for the rights of the
inhabitants of Sinking creek valley, he
desires the aid of court of equity to
restrain respondent from the diversion
of water tributary to Sinking creek for

timately, he may commit the very same
Cor worse act of diversion against re-

He asks that respondent be restrained

some future day, commit with greater
facility the very same act; and respond
ent pleads these facts.
