SCORE ANOTHER VICTORY
FOR PROHIBITION.
No More Liquor for Wayne County
After June $3.50 Say Our
County Commissioners.

AT the meeting of the Board of
County Commissioners, held in this
city Monday, petitions were presented
by a large number of the most promi-
nent citizens of Pikeville, Eureka,
Fremont and surrounding county,
praying that they refuse to grant any
more license for the sale of liquor in
those places. After hearing the ques-
ton ably discussed both pro and con,
the commissioners by amajority vote
refused to grant further license.
This, of course, means that the
county of Wayne will afterthe above
date, be dry throughout.
This will indeed be gratifying
news to all cur people who love
peace, good order and sobriety.
All honor to our brave, fearless
Board OF County Commissioners.
They have the comforting assurance OF
the approval of all the good people,
not only in this city but throughout
the entire county.
We therefore take this occasion to
congratulate the good people of Pike
vile, Fremont and Eureka on the
success of their undertaking.

> COMMANDMENTS.
What They Are and What They
Signify.

During our recent extended alb
sence from the editorial sanctum,
many invitations came in to the
ARGUS to commandments all over
the country, which we now must
acknowledge in a general way, with
thanks for the kindly remembrance.
Our mail this morning brings us one
from our talented young friend MI.
Raine Freeman, who is a student of
Mt. ST. Mary's College at Emmits-
burg, Md, the commencement ex-
ercises Of which will be held on
June Is.
A great deal of pleasure and pleas

and vacation joys are associated with

extends its heartiest congratulations,
and trusts that the joy, hope and
faith of these days may remain in
the struggle that awaits those step

and that life will never lose that
rose-scented fragrance which hangs
around it as the diplomas are hand

A TIMELY CHARITY,
Let Us Help the Poor and Sick This
Hot Weather.

During this very hot weather, has
it occurred to u readers that in
Goldsboro we have some very poor
people who are sick, and to whom a
few pounds of ice each day would be
a real blessing and a God-send?
Think of lying in bed all day long
with a hot fever nearly all the time
and no really cool water to drink,
when the price of one drink at a soda
fountain would buy ten pounds of
ice which would prove a boon to the
suffering one.
If our good women would take up
this matter, they will find a large
number of men who will contribute
to an ice fund to be used by the Be-
nevolent Society for the sick among
as who are i'll need of ice and have
no money to buy it.
Let us have an ice fund. The
ARGUS will gladly publish any COM
munication on the subject, and do
anything else in its power to pro-
mote this worthy object.
The cost of living is SO high that
many of the deserving poor can
hardly make both ends meet when
all of their family are in health, and
when sickness comes, if the bread
winner is not stricken, the expenses
are so much larger that 1T is impossi-
BILE to spend a few cents for ice.

ALL HONOR TO THEM.
Fearful Conditions Portrayed Before
the Board of County Commits
sloners Yesterday.

The evidence offered in opposition
to the petition for the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors at Pikeville before the
Board of Commissioners on Mon
day was of such a character that it
would have astonished and disguised
all of our citizens to have heard it.
Since the closing of the bar-rooms
of G%oldsboro ana the establishment
of the numerous bar-rooms in Pike
vile it was in evidence on the part
of many of the most reputable citi-
zens of this county that the roads
leading from Pikeville to Goldsboro
had become a scene of disorder, row.
dyism aud immortality which de-
maded prompt and immediate rem
edy.
It appeared that both night and
day, drunken and dissolute persons of
| both sexes were to be found travel
ling the road engaged in boisterous
and disorderly conduct, cursing and
using obscene language, firing off
! pistols, and engaging in such other
, disorders as rendered the homes,
lives and property of the citizens I'M
! safe, and that many citizens had
armed themselves in order to pro-
tect their families from insult. That
this condition of things had been
continuous, and these scenes of dis
order occurred almost any day, and
that on Saturday afternoons and
nights the condition became intOler-
able.
There was evidence of the grossest
indecency and immortality on the
part Of persons, male and female,
coming drunk from the town of
Pikevllle along the public road, SO
gross and indecent that this paper
cannot publish the details. The citi-
zens living along the said road be-
came apprehensive for the safety OF
their families and regarded it as
eminently unsafe for their daughters
to attend the public schools IN Pike
vile and in the country.
1t is astonishing that such a condi-
ton of affairs could exist in a COM
munity which has heretofore enjoy
ed all the benefits of peace and good
order.
All honor to our Board of Com
missioners who at the first oppOrtun-
ity have determined that such con-
ditions shall cease and our citizens be
protected from the brutality and in
suits of the absolute men and women
who have been frequenting Pike
vile, filling themselves up with
mean liquor, and making themselves
a menace and a nuisance to all decent
people. The ARGUS tenders its most
profound congratulations to the
Board of Commissioners and to the
citizens of the community.

FIFTY YEARS AFTER.
A Semi-C Centennial Glass Reunion

A Semi-Centennial Glass Reunion.
Mr.. E. l.. Faison while passing
through the City on his return fl rom
Chapel Hill to his home in Sampson
county told us that he had just at
tended a reunion of his class at the
University. Fifty years ago last
week this class graduated, there be-
ing sixty-two members of the class.
Out of that number only eleven are
living, and only three were present
at the reunion. Evidently a very
large per cent of the members of the
class were soldiers in the Confederate
army, as twelve of them were killed
on the field of battle.
We wish that all of the eleven
of the "Boys'' could have gotten to-
gether again at Chapel Hill last week.
How they would have lived over
again their old college days, told
each other oftheir successes and fail
ures, and opened their hearts one tc
the other in love and affection. Yer.
lily the child of to-day is the man O
tomorrow, and the young man soon
gives place.to the old man of three
score years and ten.
Mr.. E. l.. Faison was the youngest
of several brothers, he being now
seventy-fve years of age. His old.
est brother, the venerable and la.
mented William A. Faison, died on
the last day of the past December al
the advanced age of eighty-two.
