SWING OF THE PENDULUM.
The Divorce Evil and the Cigarette
Evil Discussed on the Street
Corner.

This morning the ARGUS man ap-
preached a small group of gentlemen
who were engaged in conversation,
and one Of them spoke of the ques-
ton OF divorces, which is now being
discussed so generally in the State.
About that time a small boy with a
cigarette in his mouth and a batch of
bills in his hand passed along the
sidewalk.
"Now," said one of these gentle
men, eve talk of the divorce evil,
but that is a sad picture going there.
That boy is the son of as good people
as G%o1dsboro contains, but, being
leased and persuaded, no doubt, by
the boy, the parents have consented
that the son may make some money
by collecting bills for some of the
merchants. Thus the door is thrown
wide open TO the young boy just
when he is at an age to be impressed
either for good or for evil. The col
Letting of the bills keeps the boy on
the streets nearly all the time and
frequently brings him in contact
with people whom his parents would
shudder at the very thought of their
sons knowing. After roaming the
streets for a time, the boy frets un-
der the least restraint, home becomes
a dull place to him, he has no fur

After awhile, the boy bids defiance
to his parents, does as he pleases,
and goes to the dogs" eyes," said
another man in the group, "Human
nature is a weak quantity, and par
ents do their boys great injustice in
placing them right in the line temp
tation in their early years before
their characters are thoroughly
formed.o

lutely certain that in these latter
DAYS the pendulum has swung a
long ways too far in the other direc-
ton.

MR.. JOSEPH FAISON
OF Sampon County Was Here To-
Day. He Reports Huckle-
berries Plentiful.

Mr.. Joseph F. Faison, Of Sampson
county, was here Tuesday. Mr.. Fai-
son tells us that there was a very
fine rain in Sampson Friday night.
It was not a hard rain, as was the
case in Goldsboro, but it lasted for
several hours and was a splendid
season. The crop of huckleberries is
very large, though on account of the
dry weather the berries are much
smaller than usual. Mr.. Faison says
that while the crop Of strawberries
was short that the prices were good
and the berries paid we'll. In his
neighborhOod, there are about one
hunred acres planted in cantaloupes.
A man from New York, is spending
sometime in that section, and has in
terested the farmers in planting can
taloupes. The New York man fur
nishes the seed, pays half the expense
of the crates, while the farmers do
all the work, furnish the land, ard
give the New York man one-half of
the cantaloupes after same are put in
the crates. The cantaloupe crop is
promising. More and more the peo-
pie of the North and West are find
ing out what q wonderful country
EasternNorth Carolina is. We believe
our w people have little concep-
ton as to what opr country will be
twenty-five years from to-day.

THERE was a time when the term

trimmest lines. with a finish that was
above reproach- But all that has gone
