house room for the proper handling
OF the tobacco sold on this market is
a fact that all recognize-and it is a
condition which if not remedied will
initiate seriously against our market
next year, and if next year, then per-
manently. Consequently it behooves
our progressive and sagacious bust
ness men to get together on this mat
ter-and at once.
AS before announced in the ARGUS
our venerable friend, Mr.. William
A. Faison, of Sampson county, has
been critically ill. His many friends
all over North Carolina will rejoice
to learn that Mr.. Faison is improv-
ing. From the day of his gradua-
ton at Chapel Hill, about so years
ago, down to this hour, his life has
been devoted to the good Of others.
His good deeds, his words of encour-
agement and counsel to the disheart-
ened and sorrOwing, his daily walk
and conversation have blessed the
world. For 81 years God has spared
His servant to bless mankind.
Capt. w. G. Pollok, the popular
passenger conductor Oh the Southern
Railway, has returned to his run,
after several days absence, attending
the marriage of his no less popular
daughter Miss Jennie, last Wednes-
day, to Mr.. w. P. Rose, of Raleigh,
a Wayne county boy who as an
architect has attained great success
within the State and beyond her
borders and has a vide circle of
friends who esteem him highly for
his congenial disposition and sterl-
ing integrity. The ARGUS wishes
him and his beautiful young bride the
fullest measure of happiness and pros
perity.
Alarm of fire last Thursday night
Z O'Clock was turned in from box So
and was caused by the burning Of the !
barn and stables of DIR. r. A. Smith
his residence on Chestnut
The bright light of the fire ,
attracted hundreds Of people to the
scene and the sidewalks were lined
with people. The fire department
responded very promptly and did
very efficient work as the skeleton
frame which is still standing to-day
will testify, but the flames had gain
ed too much Roadway before the
alarm was turned in. The building
was a wooden structure and made a
blaze which leaped high in the air
and could be e e from any part of
city. The loss was about 81, 900
With $500 Insurance. Besides a GUAM
tity Of corn, fodder, hay and feed
stuff generally together with the
vehicles, which were ALL
burned, the building contained seven
bales of cotton which, while thew
will not be a total loss, were badly
damaged and were only partialIy
saved through the efficient work
lone by the fremen.
A bill has been introduced in the)
legislature to limit the time of law
yers in addressing juries. We hopel
bill will not pass. Lawyers are
officers of the court, they are sworni
20 perform their duty, and as a rule
are men of intelligence and character.
Furthermore when a lawyer takesI
! case, he certainly ought to be a!
judge than any one else as to I
low long he should address the jury.
Though his client may be indicted
or a small offense, it is a matter of
great importance to that client, for
10Th liberty and reputation are at
take. Tn the federal courts, lawyers
lre'limited in their arguments to the
ury, and if there is much evidence
hey have to hurry very rapidly, and
very naturally cannot be at their
'est because they fear they cannot
.et in all they desire to say beforel :
heir time expires. Sixteen judges J,
ample time to hold all the s
this State, but beyond every
hing else the liberty of the citizen I
aust have every possible safeguard :
around it. =
