The Methodists Of the countrv-

the new century determined to raise
a tWenty-milIiOn-dollars centnrv

been accomplished, for the work was
begun in 1898. This great fund is to
be applied to the churches, each act

the educational interests of the
church, or in works of ph~ilanthropv.
a secretary of the fund was an

the entire sum has been raised. OF
this great sum 1850, 900 will 90 to

The Methodist church has to-day

HOUSE..

The House was in session only one
hour yesterday.
The important and much needed
part Of its machinery-the commit
tees-has not yet been supplied and
until this is done legislation will
make haste slowly" The only
committee so far announced is the
committee on rules.
Speaker Gattis is, however, at
work on the long list of committees
and, they may be announced to-day.
When these are ready for work the
House will get down to work in
earnest.
Speaker Gattis announced the fol-
lowing:
Committee on Rules-Graham,
chairman, Doughton, Watts, Smith,
Morton, Carr, Benbow.
The House is starting out this year
with fewer employees on the whole
than two years ago.
There have been appointed this
session fourteen laborers. including
two colored men to do the more
mental labor that white men would
be unwilling to do.
An examination of the records
shows that In 1901 there were efgh-
teen permanent laborers.
Accordingly there are four less la

AS THE YEARS GO.
Some Thoughts For Goldsboro

People.
Since the day of its birth-eighteen
years ago, the ARGUS has had n
predominating policy, and has advo-
Gated with all of it's strength the
carrying out of that policy, namely
the getting together of our people for
the betterment and the enlargement.
and general upbuilding of Colds
boro.
Every measure of public interest
for the good of Goldsboro has re-
celved not only the endorsement but
the warmest, most energetica advocacy
of the ARGUS.
Moreover, many of these measures
were originated by the ARGUS.
When the days were dark, hnsi-
ness at a low ebh, and property IN
GoldsborO was selling at >t4rv low
prices, the ARGUS proclaimed at ali
times that "GoIdsboro is ..iv nast
town III TIE state" The ARGUS be-
lieved what it said, and when it snc-
cef&.,d IN getting the people to De-
| Il, t.it oia town took on new
Ill and the ARGUS took for its slo-
gan, We've got the best town in
the State" and, owe 90 forward.o
And, depressing for a moment from
the business point of view of this
article, in all of these years. the
ARGUS has been thoroughly identi-
lied with the social life of our people:
1t has told of the political triumphs
OF the men of Goldsboro; it has re-
lated the successes of the business
men OF the city; it has proclaimed
the victories won by our young men
and young women in school and col
lege, and IN every avenue OF life
along which roses have blossoDled
by the way for Il Goldsboro bows
and girls; the ARGUS has rejoiced at
ringing of the joyous wedding
bells, and has Wept when the black
and mournfil hearse with fu-
neral piumes have stood at the door.
Therefore, having as it does the
deepest interest in all Of our people,
While standing as we do in the door
way ola New Year, the ARGUS urges
hat as never before there be q COM
ng together of the people of Colds
'oro in order tnatwe may accomplish
things for u city.
"ln unity there is strength" This
5 an old proverb, but it is immortal.
or truth can never die.

Senator Henderson presented two
important bills yesterday. One is to
allow the deputy clerk Of the court
to represent the clerk in all matters.
This will be a convenience to the
clerk and the public. The Senator's
other bill is to require a bond from
parties appealing from a magistrates
court, though the appeal can be
made in forma pauperis. This would
cut off many frivolous appeals and
save money to the counties and the
clerks.

AFTER AN HEIRESS.

Armed with documents to verify his
claim to nobility, Marquis Arthur De
Mayo Durrazzo of Naples, Italy, has
come to New York with the avowed in
tention OF marrying an American heir
ess, and in evidence of his earnestness
recently advertised to this effect.
The Marquis thinks New York is the
Mecca for heiresses.
There is more money in New York
than in all Europe" he said when ask
ed why he came to New York instead
OF going to some other large city.
you see" said the Marquis, Il am
young, and would like a young and
beautiful bride with the large dowry,
So come here to find II. American
girls are beautiful beyond all others.
Asked If 100000 would be a fair
dowry, he said 1T would do, but 1t Is
not much return for the honor my title
brings. My family Is nearly $50 years
old and has large estates near Naples.
Passports from Naples, signed by
the Mayor, say that Arthur, Marquis
Durazzo, is of good moral character
and the son OF Francois, Marquis OF

CENTURY-OLD CLAIM.

After four generations of Christie
piers had fought and waited sixty
years or more for their share of the
spoliation claims award growing out
of the desultory naval warfare be-
tween this country and France in 1901,
Mrs. Mary Christopher, a widow,
whose home Is in Brooklyn, and her
son, Thomas Y. ]. Christopher are as
sured by their lawyers that they will
soon receive from Washington at least
$4,000 as their share of the award.
Their claim is based on the capture
IN 1901 by the French of the ship Gan
ges, owned in part by Vermilyia Chris
TOPPER, a prominent ship owner and
merchant in this city.
When France sold Louisiana to the
United States one of the stipulations
was that $3,750,OO0 of the purchase
money was to be set aside to pay the
spoliation claims. The son of Vermil
via Christopher put in claim for q
share of this fund because of the Gan
ges, and the fight has descended to his
grandson, who, with his mother, Is as
sured by the lawyers that they soor
will receive at least $4,000.

the work. The audit and examination
e been finished and the reports
,de with considerable amount of
u. following up a large number Of
i,-aes and showing fully number Of
transactions about which there had
been complaint or question.
I'VE find that the land office has
been administered honestly and in
dustriously by the present incumbent,
but that in the matter of keeping its
records a thorough organization is i'm
peratively demanded. The Office force
was reduced by the Legislature two
years ago, and this in the face of the
rapid increase of the business of the
bureau, which is growing daily and
which has quite Outstripped the old
system of accounts. We find that all
the transactions of the Office have
been brought before the Governors
Council for consideration before con
summation and that in all cases the
conclusions of the Governors Coun'
ell have been followed. On the advice
of your committee the head of the bu'
reau caused TO be settled up a number
OF outstanding lease accounts and Sc
cured n more thorough understanding
of number OF arguments.
ut is the opinion and recommends
ton of your committee. as intimated
above that this important office
should be properly equipped in every
way, and that without unnecessary de
LAY. Not only should the Clerica
force be somewhat increased, but
there should be installed a modern
system of accounting, checking, ETC.
whereby it would be simple, quicl
and easy thing at any time to leari

Following is the report of the Com.
mittec on Public Lands, etc, present
ed to the Senate Tuesday:
SENATE Chamber, Honolulu, T. H.,
April %, 1903.
Hon. Clarence l.. Crabbe, President
Of the Senate.
"Sir:-Your standing Committee on
Public Lands, Internal Improvements,
Agriculture. etc, having had under
consideration a report from the -"
cial session of the Senate of this Log.
islature relative to the Territorial
Land Bureau. begs leave now to COLI.
municate with this body upon the sub
ject. Your committee finds and be-
lieves that the land laws of Hawaii are
as a whole admirably cd to con
dtions within The cry and con.
distinct advance upon land legislation
elsewhere. The provision in our law
whereby communities or associations
of settlers or small farmers are en-.
abled to secure lands of the best agri.
cultural character upon most reason.
able terms Is an excellent one and one
calculated to steadily increase popu.
lation that will assist very materially
in the development and upbuilding Of
the Territory. On account OF the
large amount or volume of the leasing
Feature of the administration of the
land laws. and for other reasons, we
believe that there should be added
early to the force in the land Office an
expert accountant.
There was brought to the attention
of your committee a number of com
plants to the effect that there had
been not Il few cases of serious and
vexatious delays in the delivery of pat
tents to claimants who had complied
with all required conditions. This Is
a matter which should be remedied al
once The explanation of the Commits
sioner is that he has been hampered II
his work by lack OF sufficient Office
lforce. We believe that neither effor
nor expense should be spared in pro
viding claimants with proper titles ant
with every incentive to settle upon ant
improve lands.
I'VE find that there are on recorC
many cases of wrong descriptions o
lands through errors in surveys. As |
matter of fact in recent years man!
lerrors have been made in surveying
and plotting lots and before patent
