DAUGHTERS OF THE CONFED-
ERACY.
Echoes From the Charleston COnven.
ton: Mrs. Jno. III. Winder's
Excellent Report.

IACCll0uG hCpOIt
The ARGUS takes pleasure in no.
ting, as echoes from the Convention
of the Daughters of the Confederacy
held in Charleston, that out of the
many presidents present eight were
North Carolinians or the wives of
North Carolinians. Among the prin-
cipally mentioned were Mrs. Alex.
Hull, nee Miss Cowan of Whining
ton, representing Georgia; Mrs.
Annie Washington Rapley, nee Miss
Washington Of Newbern, President
of the Missouri Division, and presi-
dent of the Chapter of st. Louis,
where the next Convention will be
held; Mrs. F. A. Olds, wife Of Col.
Olds, who most ably represented
North Carolina; Mrs. John III. Win
der, nee Tucker of Raleigh, repre-
senting Ohio, whose enthusiasm for
the oldNorth State has never abated,
but seems to have grown more fer
vent, if possible, since her residence
in Columbus Ohio. Loving as she
does her native State, and rejoicing
in representing the daughters so far
away, it was but fitting that her re-
port should follow that OF North
Carolina.
The ARGUS had the privilege and
pleasure of giving to its readers last
year the very excellent report of
Mrs. Wlnder at the New Orleans
meeting, and will endeavor to secure
her report Of this year, which, judg-
ing from the comments of the press,
is even more excellent, enthusiastic
and eloquent than that of last year.
Fighting, as she says, under but
two banners-that of the Daughters
Of the King and that of the Daughters
Of the Confederacy, each banner bear
ing cross and each cross stained
with blood, directing her efforts in
behalf of both, the first will domi-
nate her work in the latter.

PARDON REFUSED
For Delgado Grafton, Who Was
Convicted of Embezzle-
ment and Sentenced
to Two Years. I'M
prisonment.

! Washington, Nov. 14.-The presi-
dent to-day denied the application
for the pardon of Delgado Grafton,
formerly OF Reidsville, n. c., who
was convicted in the supreme court
OF the district of embezzlement and
sentenced by Judge Pritchard to
! two years imprisonment.
The youthful prisoner, who has
been confined in the district jail,
pending the consideration OF his ap-
plication for pardon, will be taken to
Trenton, Nj, where he will begin
his sentence.
Grafton, who was a clerk employ
ed In the medical school of George
town University, embezzled certain
moneys of the school. He was SUBJ
sequently arrested in Buffalo and re-
turned to this city, where he plead
ed guilty and made all restitution
possible. The attorney general and
president, however, were of the
opinion that all the mitigating cir
cumstances were given due weight
by the trial judge in imposing a
moderate sentence of two years.
Many appeals we're made to Judge
Pritchard to modify the sentence.
Governor Aycock and other promi-
nent North Carolinians interceded in
the young mans behalf, but with
out success.
Judge Pritchard declared, in i'm
posing sentence, that while the max
imum penalty was ten years he
would only give the prisoner two
years, which was the minimum. At
torney General Knox declined to
recommend a pardon under these
circumstances, and these president
has done likewise.

THE KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS
FAIR IS A ROLLICK-
ING SUCCESS.
Tonight is Odd Fellows Night
Donations Are Still Coming In
and the Stocks of Wares
Will Be AS Full Tonight
AS Last Night.
(From Daily Argus of Tuesd: "

The knights of Pythia5 Fair
opened last night under the rnosJ
favorable auspices. Promptly at s
O'Clock Governor Aycock was escort
ed to the speakers stand, ACCOM- pan
led by number of prominent local
Pythians, and gracefully introduced
to the waiting throng by judge w.
S. OBJ. Robinson and then bis Ex-
cellency, in short, but eloquent,
forceful, and Enthusiastically happy
speech, formally opened the fair,
and was enthusiastically applauded
by the hundreds of visitors who
crowded the spacious floors of the
fair building.
After the Governors speech the
visitors began to amuse themselves
with the various attractions provid-
ed for that purpose and also to in
spect and make purchases from
among the numerous and sundry ar
ticles offered for sale.
To say that the promoters of the
enterprise were well pleased with
last nights business is but mildly
expressing it. The receipts and the
crowd far exceeded their most SAN
guine expectations.
The fair is already a success and
the programme of social enjoyment
has not fairly begun. Those who at
tended last night were so well en-
tertained that they will go again to-
night and tomorrow night, and on
through the week, and those who
were prevented from attending last
night will be sure to be there to-
night and thenceforth.
The music is furnished by the
Goldsboco band and is avery enjoy
able feature of the fair.
The doors of the fair will be open
at o'clock tonight and at o'clock
every night this week.
Tonight will be Odd Fellows
night and the members of Neuse
lodge are expected to attend in a
body wearing the regalia Of their
order.
Mayor Geo. E. Hood will make a
frt address to the Odd Fellows at
; opening tonight, after which
e programme of pleasure as in
llged in last night will. commence.
The proper arrangements for vent
ttion have been made to-day and
the weather is as warm as last
ght everybody will be more COM
.rtable.
donations to the fair are still COM
ag in and the stocks of wares for
lie will l3e equally as complete and
is pretty as those offered last night.
The handsome clock donated by
Mr.. R. A. Creech will be placed on
rattle tonight and it is needless to
add that the number of chances will
soon be exhausted, as the clock is
not only handsome ornament but
an excellent timepiece.

JUST A FEW REFLECTIONS
THE CITY HALL AND A PAS
SENGER DEPOT.
What One of Goldsboro's Leading
Citizens Has To Say on
These Two N
Subjects.

l
| There are few people who do a
little thinking as they go along
| through this vale of tears and the
ARGUS reporter met up with one OF
this class in his y9anderings to-day
and he was in talkative mood. He
said:
"Those people who expected such
big things in the way of trade when
the city hall was located where it is
now have been <somewheat disap-
pointed. The idea that the trade of
the town would follow the Mayors
Office and police headquarters is SIM
ply ridiculous. OF course it was a
mistake to locate the city hall where
it is. The Board of Aldermen, no
doubt, thought that they were doing
the best they could under the cir
cumstances and am not one to CEN
sure them for their action, but 7 am
satisfied that if they now had the Sc
lection of a location for city hall
they would not put it down beside
the old Great Eastern, surrounded
almost by negro shanties.
"The location makes no difference,
however, as far as trade is concerned.
The trading district of a city like
Goldsboro is too we'll established to
be broken up by the removal of any
one building on any institution.
Such ideas are worth considering in
small towns, possibly, where the
town is likely to take turn and
build up in another direction.
"I could not help but be amused
by the silly argument Of some of the
merchants along East and West Cen
tire streets when the question of
union passenger depot was being ad-
vocated so strenuously by the
ARGUS. They claimed, you know,
that if the trains were stopped any
where else besides right in front of
their stores that property would de-
crease and that the trade of the city
would be injured. Such talk is sim
ply absurd. The trade would no
more follow the railroad depot than
it has followed the city hall. Prop
erty has not decreased in value on
Walnut street by the removal of the
city hall and would not decrease on
Centre street if the depot was re-
moved. In fact, I am of the
opinion that the removal of the
stopping place for the trains,
(Which is all we have now and the
middle Of the street is not entitled to
the dignified name of a depot would
have tendency to increase the
value of poperty in that locality. Not
to mention the convenience afford
ed the travelling public, who have
now no protection whatever from
the weather in getting off and on
trains. It is certainly not very de-
sirable to have the trains stop in
front of your door and create deaf
ening noise by the exhausting and
escaping steam for half an hour at a
time.
t'I would be glad to see the ARGUS
inaugurate another campaign for a
Union depot, and believe the prop
ertysowners have seen their mistake
in opposing such a move and would
now endorse it. / see that Durham
and Charlotte and other towns are
to have handsome Union depots and
GoldsbOro, by reason of her splendid
! railroad facilities, and being rail-
road centre, is as much entitled to
one as any town in the State.''
