Goldsboro weekly argus., 1902-10-09

alza4A
city kept a force of hands at work
nearly all of last week on Boundary
street taking up pipe and cleaning
out the roots, which had penetrated
| through the cement and had COM
pletely clogged the pipe. 1t is a SER
F., ious complication and one that every
body regrets, but the trees will have
| to go.
Mr.. D. J. Aaron, Democratic NOM
inee for the Senate froA this county,
was in the city Friday. He is one OF
the brainiest men on the ticket and
will be credit to the county and
district when he goes to Raleigh. He
has been a citizen of Mt. Olive for a
number Of years, from where he has
travelled the eastern section of the
State for a number of years, and is,
therefore, well acquainted with the
people and their surrounding condi-
tiOns.
| Mr.. Robert Hancock, the wheel
horse Republican of Craven county,
was in the city Monday, and gave out
/ the Information that Maj. Geo. w.
| Butler, of Clinton, a brother of the
EX-U. S. Senator, and a lawyer, will
beput in the field by the Republi-
cans and Populists combined against
] Hon. G. r. Thomas for Congress in
this district. Well, Mr.. Thomas can
| lick the Escombine'' and still have
thousands of votes to the good. In
fact, Wayne county alone can most
elect him.
Among the pleasant features of the
j Business Mems Fall Festival and
! Elks' Carnival, which begins on the
Goth and ends on the 25th of this
month, will be a voting contest over
the most popular young lady of
Goldsboro. This feature will be en-
tered into with much zeal by the
: many friends and admirers of the
several popular young ladies ofGolds-
boro and the outcome will be watch
ed with much interest by all. The
particulars of the contest will be pub
lished later.
Mr.. B. G. Thompson, while out
driving Friday afternoon with
his sister Miss Cora, and his infant
son, had a miraculous escape in
runaway accident. His horse took
fright and made dash, and Mr..
Thompson losing the reins, the occu-
pants of the buggy were entirely
helpless, but the vehicle soon cOllid-
ed with an iron post and the horse
freed himself from the buggy and
they were LETT sitting harmless in
the vehicle. Their many friends are
deeply gratifed that they escaped
+, without being hurt.
The tendency of the age is to wake
up. Quick communication, better
transportation facilities, competition
and what is known as American
hustle have all put renewed energy
and enterprise in our people, and
they are buster than ever before.
There is no time left for theoretical
discussions and longwinded COM
plants. We have got to get up and
go after business, or it will get away
from US. This is a distinctively prac-
tical age. Results alone count, and
to get results there is no time for
lOafIng, none for unnecessary sleep
ESPECIALLY if you ere business
man and advertise in the ARGUS.

labor go where there is an enterpris-
ing community. No power on earth
is so strong to build up town SO
: well as paper well patronized, and
its power should be appreciated.T The
man who overlooks his town paper

At the meeting Of the Board OF
County Commissioners Monday the
!, Board decided to offer $4,000 re-
ward for Frank Winn, the negro
who is accused Of the murder of his
nephew Charles Winn, and who,
| while out on bond under habeas cor

! ernor offered $4,000 reward some
l days ago; which makes a total OF
r $4,000 offered for Winn's capture.
: If he is not captured and does not re-
, turn voluntarily, which is not very
3 probable, the sum of $500 which
: the county holds as his bond, will, il
