on our own strength, and that fails; Let
us turn to God. Ring the bells and have

out sweetly and mightily from the church

THE NEW

In a few weeks the n~ewly-elected
Legislature will meet at Raleigh.
To its actions and deliberations the
people are already looking with
critical eye and deep interest.
Not since the civil war has any
Legislature assembled at the State
Capitol under such favorable con-
ditions. With the adoption of the
Constitutional Amendment, there
disappeared, at least for the time,
the most perplexing problem which
has presented itself to the white
manhood of the State. Heretofore
much of the time of each Demo-
cratic Legislature has been devoted
to laws pertaining to matters relating
to elections, in order to prevent the
turning over of the State to negroes
and bad white men.
But the incoming Legislature will
have a fair field and ample oppor-
tunity to make a record as a business
Legislature. There is much to be
done, but there will be plenty of
time in sixty days for the transaction
of the public business, without any
undue haste, provided the Legisla-
ture will get right down to work
when it first meets, and not defer
important business to the closing
days of the session.
The two most important things
before the Legislature will be taxa
ton and appropriations. Our people
are not able to pay more taxes than
they are now paying. Any PROPOSE
ton to increase any appropriation
for any cause, or for any new appro-

WINN'S FATE FIXED.
Understood That He Will Serve Ten
Years in the Penitentiary For

Understood That He Will Serve Ten
Years in the P~enitentiary For
Killing His Cousin.
The following from the Raleigh
Post of to-day, will be interesting
news to ARGUS readers in this city
and throughout the county:
"There was a conference here yes
terday of counsel interested in the
case of Frank VIM, colored, of
Goldsboro, who killed his cousin
a young negro man, about three
months ago, gave bond, then skipped
it and was subsequently caught in
Fayetteville by a brother Of the
murdered man and brought back to
Goldsboro to stand trial. AS a result
of yesterdays conference it is now
understood hat a compromise has
been reached with the prosecution
by which the negro Winn is to be
sentenced to ten years in the peni-.
tertiary, and pay to the State the
bond forfeited when he ran away,
the amount being So, 500.
s'This case has attracted consider
able attention, VIM being a negro
highly esteemed and prosperous. He
was worth something like $4,000
when the killing occurred. How
ever, with the payment of forfeited
bond, lawyers fees and other ex-
penses, about all his property will be
gone. He has a wife and several
children. Col. t. M. Argo, OF this
city, is one of the counsel for the de-
Tense. Mr.. John E. Woodland is also
interested as counsel for the prose
cution."
The above reads as if the Post
wrote with knowledge and author
ity, but surely there is some mistake
in the premises. If it be, however,
as the Post states, then the good,
1aw-abiding people of Wayne county
will not countenance nor tolerate
any such compromise"
The young colored man whom
Frank Winn ruthlessly beat to death
with a bludgeon-his own young
cousin = and was a Well-cOnducted
promising boy, just arrived at the
~or;oJ IF ,oarhoOJ With homes and
promises of the future as bright as
any young man Of his race could
hope for or enjoy. His father anC

and solace when they shall come tt
their declining years. They ar
more highly esteemed than is Franz
Winn-and they all live in the same
community, the place being Mt
Olive, instead of Goldsboro, as erro
neously stated in the Post.
Frank Vim stands indicted BY
the Grand Jury of murder in thu
first degree, and we take it that h
will be arraigned and tried accord

4 Prediction.
EDITOR THE OASIS:

3 is little early to chance a D6phecy on what will be done in the convention for nominating can didates for the next presidential election. Bnt we think we will risk it; but we want the people to understand that if we are far from the truth, we were just joking; but if we hit the nail squarely on the head, then it was our wisdom and foresight that lead us to our con clusions and prophesy.
 In the republican convention there will be but one name put be- fore the house. That will be the name of the present incumbent of the presidential chair, and he will be accepted without ballot.
 In the democratic convention Hills name will be the first to be put before the house. Then Bryan's name will follow. This will be done as a compliment to the former standard bearer of the party, and to give him a chance to withdraw his name and suggest dark horse just the size of Congressman New lands. And Newlands will be the nominee of the party. The Hill Cleveland combine will be routed, and the old bolting wound will be torn open, and the love feast of the two wings of the party will not take place.
 Hill is too stubborn to withdraw, notwithstanding he would stand no chance of election even if he was nominated. Democrats hate a bolter.
 Whatever may be said about Bryan being a dead letter, he will be found very live influence in the coming election.
