HELD Up and ROBBED.
A COLORED WOMAN FALLS A
VICTIM
To a Plot Made By a Crowd of
Youthful Colored Bandits,
Who Scoop in $65 in
Money.

Ellen King, colored, the wife of
John King, was the victim of a
pickpocket affair on Saturday even
ing, the equal of which has not oc-
Cured in Goldsboro before. Of all
the young criminals who have come
before the Mayors court in this city
there are none so young as the three
negro boys who are nowsafely lodged
in the city Jail. Their names are
Charley Mackay, Lewis Thompson
and Jim Parker.
These boys, who r all colored
and are less than - years old, have
received, through the generosity of
the philanthropic white people of
the community, a training along ed
ucational lines at the colored graded
schools of the city, and by this means
they have been enabled to read the
thrilling and adventurous stories in
dime novels. These stories have
had their effect upon the responsive
intellect of these sons of the dark
continent, and on Saturday even
ing, while yet daylight, on the
public streets of Goldsboro, these
youthful bandits secured the sum of
$65 from Ellen King, an industrious
colored woman.
The boys had been previously dis
cussing such an adventure, and they
were on the lookout for a victim,
and while they were skulking on
| Walnut street about 8 o'clock they
saw Ellen go into the butcher shop
| of Cohen & Son and receive some
! money which was due for washing.
She placed the money in a pocket
book and walked out upon the street.
When within a few feet from the
streets one of the boys engaged the
woman in conversation while anoth-
er one slipped up behind the wo-
man and slipped the book from her
apron pocket. The boy who took
the book "a off down the street and
were soon followed by the other two
boys. They went into an alley and
partially divided the money. The
woman missed her book before she
got to the corner and Immediately
reported the robbery to the police,
who have been constantly on the
lookout.
Monday morning Jim Parker had
bought his ticket and was preparing
to go on the excursion to. Norfolk
when he was arrested He was the
boy who got the pocket book, and
when arrested he had $50 of the
money on his person. He told who
his companions were and the police
: went in search of Charley Mackay
and Louis Thompson. Mackay had
$9.O5 left and Thompson had $13.
/, They were both arrested aud locked
I up with Parker.
/ The woman who lost the money
was fortunate enough to get $3.50
oft back. She and her husband are
Woodworking respectable negroes
and the money which she lost had
been saved up from small amounts
from time to time.

CROPS AND PRICES

It must be quite obvious to most
people that the cost of living is high
er now than it was a year ago, or in
deed at any time within recent his
tory. Meat of all kinds is still very
expensive and most other varieties
of food are at higher level than for a
long term of years. Many specula--
tors who deal in futures are convinc-
ed that the price of grains, and there
fore of the meats that come from
grains, will be lower after this year's
crops are harvested.
Corn, which was a failure last
year because of the drought, gives
promise this summer of an extraor-
binary yield. The acreage was never
before so large and the plants in
most regions are in a thriving con-
dition. Nothing but some sudden
catastrophe not readily conceivable
will prevent the country from gath
ering an enormous crop.
It is quite likely, however, that
prices, no matter how favoring the
circumstances, will not be allowed
to go SO low again as they were be-
fore the rise.
There are many new uses for corn,
it is in free request abroad, and it is
not to be expected that either that
grain or the hogs and cattle which
eat it will be as cheap next winter
as they were two winters ago.

splendid programme is being pre-
ner. All who go will carry baskets.
A prize will be given to the school
which has the largest number of its
enrolled members present. It is hoped
that every school in the county will
send a large delegation of teachers
and officers aed that they will regis
ter their names with the secretary of
the convention.
Mr.. C. R. Speight, late Of the Ec-
cleston Lumber Co. at Parmelee,
and at Jacksonville, was in the city
Thursday and purchased a locomC-
tive from Dewey Bros. The locomo-
tive will be built at once and will be
of the latest pattern which they con-
struct especially for lumber plants
and for which they have made an
enviable reputation. Mr. Speight is
constructing a big saw mill plant for
the Nash County Lumber Co. at
Nashville. It will be a mammoth
concern. There is plenty of money
behind the scheme. They will tap
the untouched pine forests of Nash
county, of which there is ample ma
terial to run q mill for years.
The tobacco aso will open up in
Goldsboro just one week from next
Friday. The merchants know what
this means, and right here it might
be very properly urged that the
merchant as we'll as every business
man of Goldsboro should feel inter
.ested in the success of the Goldsboro
tobacco market. Everybody take
occasion to speak a good word for
our market. The warehousemen are
not all the people that are benefited
by the tobacco business. Every
pound of tobacco sold here does the
town some good. If the farmers
carry their tobacco to other markets
they will naturally do their trading
where they sell their products. Let
us all pull together and make Colds
boro the leading tobacco market Of
the east. It can be done.

FONVIELLE GROCERY co.
Recently Incorporated With a Cap
ital Stock of 5000.

Mr.. LIB. Fonvielle, who has been
doing a successful wholesale and re-
tail grocery business in this city for
a number of years, has decided to in
corporate his business and has taken
only his clerks for associate stock
holders. For some time Mr.. Fon-
vielle has been considering a retire
ment from business on account of his
health, and he has at last decided
upon the idea of a stock company,
which will give his clerks an oppor-
tunity to make something for them
selves while making something for
him.
The officers of the company are:
I. B. FonvieiIe, president; Wayne
Fonvielie, vice president; James IL.
Hines, secretary and treasurer. This
comprises the list Of stockholders
with the exception of Mr.. e. M. Da-
Wis, who is also a clerk. The amount
of the capital stock paid in is SIS, 900,
with the privilege of increasing it to
$4,000.
The many customers of Mr.. Fon-
vielle will find no difference in the
conduct of the business, which will
be run as heretofore. He has en-
ioyed the confidence Of his army of
patrons for years, and his business
has been growing larger with each
succeeding year. The new corpora
ton begins business under most IA
vorable circumstances, and that it
will succeed no one doubts.

A CORRECTION.
Daily Argus of Tuesday.

Daily Argus of Tuesday.
To EDITOR OF ARGUs:-In your
editorial of yesterday on the negro
waits who robbed a woman on the
street Saturday of sixty five dollars,
you referred to them as receiving
educational training in our Graded
School,"
I find upon searching the criminal
records of this city for seven years
back that there is not a single in
stance of theft committed by a boy
or girl who has taken a course of
training in our Graded School. But
on the contrary it can be established
that the reduction of crime in this
city among the negroes is easily
traceable to the wholesome effects of
our public schools.
The boys in question are bad, but
the schools did not make them so.
They have never gone through our
schools, but have been allowed to go
at will. Our greatest menace is the
idle, lazy, shiftless negro boys that
roam the streets and will neither
work O go to school. It is the
ignorant negro, and not the educated
one that is violating the law.
We have been and are still urging
the parents to educate their children
and put them to work and keepthem
at it and thus keep them off the
streets.
Respectfully,
G. DILLARD,
