JUST IN TIME.
Governor Sent Respite to Sheriff
just in Time to Save a Negro
Charged With Murder,
From Hanging.
From Hanging.

Atlanta, June 5.-Jack Slaton, q
negro, who has been convicted Of
the crime of murder in Washington
Ga, had a narrow escape from death
Saturday morning.
The hour fixed for the hanging
was 10 O'Clock, and at that hour the
sheriff had arranged to drop Jack
through the trap door. Early Sat-
urday morning, however, the me-
gro's attorneys discovered new evil
dence and decided to wire the gov-
ernor asking for respite until the
nature of the evidence could be de-
termined. This they did.
Governor Terrell received the tele-
gram at $3.50 and decided to grant
the respite. He Immediately wired
the sheriff and called him over the
long distance telephone, but it was
IL o'clock before any answer was re=
ceived from that official. It seems
however, that the telegram arrived
on time, and now the negro will not
be hanged for some days yet, if at
all. The respite was given until
july 1st.

FOUR SPELLBINDERS.
The Presidents Quartet of Seconding
Orators Made Up.

Washington, June 2.-The ques-
ton of selecting a spellbinder of con-
spicuous ability to second the NOM
ination of Theodore Roosevelt at the
Chicago convention on behalf of the
middle west will probably be settled
in favor of Senator Beveridge, of In
diana, the child orator. The Presi-
dent some time ago assumed the re-
sponsibility of selecting the four men
who will make seconding speeches at
Chicago, and he has definitely settled
on three of these. Harry Stilwell
Edwards, of Macon, Ca, as an
nounced some time ago from the
White House, will make the second
ing speech on behalf of the Southern
States.
There was bitter contest between
three aspirants from the far west, all
of them being from Minnesota, but
the decision has been made in favor
of Joseph Cotton, of Duluth, MINI
Mr.. Cotton is identified with the
Standard Oil Company and the
United States Steel Corporation in
the northwest. The seconding speech
for the Pacific coast will be made by
George A. Knight, of California, 6
delegate to more than one Repub
lican National Convention.

HON. III. G.. CONNOR.

hon. ii. G. COnnOr, Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court,
passed through Goldsboro Saturday
night on his return from Raleigh to
his home at Wilson, the Supreme
Court having adjourned until next
fall.
After a long session of the Court,
which involves an immense amount
of work, Judge Connor is In the best
of health. In fact the Judge is one of
those men who seems never to get
tired. Saturday night, as we looked
at this distinguished son of North
Carolina, we began to ''Ruminate',
as dear old Bill Arp used to say, and
two pictures in bold relief stood out
on the canvass of the panorama of
memory.
An humble home, parents poor, a
son cheerfully toiling in boyhood to
help his father and mother make
living, while other boys were at
school, cleaning little knowledge
at odd times from books, but storing
up knowledge day by day, then
studying law, and entering upon the
| hard struggle for a foot-hold in that
profession.
Then the scene shifted. In the
other picture, we see the young law
yer barely making living, working
and waiting, with faith in himself,
faith in men, faith IN God, never
swerving from the path of duty; af-
ter awhile the days grow brighter,
success comes to him in the practice,
| after time followed by call to the
| Superior Court Bench of the State,
holding this position with great cred
it to himself and the State, until for
business reasons he resigned; elected
by his home people, when the State
was well-nigh ruined by the fusion
crowd, representing Wilson County
in the Legislature, and promptly
chosen Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives. Then the people elected
him Judge of the Supreme Court OF
| North Carolina.
AS we "Ruminatedo on these two
p. are, we asked ourself the ques-
ii II. Is 1t possible that the poor boy
., the humble home is the good and
great ualge in the other picture?
Such exatnples as these prove the
greatne S. of government like ours
beacons to the boys and young men
Of our countrv.

CURES WHILE YOU SLEEP.
Hyomei Guaranteed to Cure Catarrh
Or Money Refunded by J. Ell.
Hill & Son.

In addition to breathing Hyomei
three or four times a day through
the inhaler that comes with every
outfit, it is we'll IN the treatment of
catarrh or catarrhal colds to moisten
a piece Of flannel with a few drops
of Hyomei, and put it to the night
clothes right under the chin. In this
way, Hyomei will be breathed the
whole night long, curing while you
sleep. In most cases it will break
up cold over night.
The complete Hyomei outfit, con-
sisting Of pocket inhaler, medi-
cine dropper, and bottle ofHyomei
costs but one dollar. The inhaler will
last lifetime, and if more Hyomei
is needed, extra bottles can be OBJ
tanned for fifty cents.
It is the most economical of all
remedies for the cure of catarrh, and
the only one that follows a natural
method in treating diseases of the
respiratory organs. Physicians ad-
wise a change Of climate for the cure
of catarrh. With Hyomei, a change
of climate is gained while at home.
Its healing balsams impregnate the
air you breathe, and their health
giving and germ-destroying powers
go to the most remote air cells of the
respiratory organs.
You take no risk in buying. Hyo-
| mel. J. III. Hill & Son have so much
confidence in its power to kill Ca
| tarrh, grippe, and catarrhal colds,
that we sell it under a personal
+! guarantee to refund the money if il
fails to cure.

Of INTEREST
TO THE EMPLOYEE AND EN-
PLOYER.
Some Interesting Facts in Regard to
the Law Along These Lines
as Furnished by Mr.. II.
B. Parker, Jr.
EDITOR ARGUS:

LD1IOR AESOC
Dear Sir:-Having been asked
quite often for the past few weeks
about the present law in regard to
rights of the employer and the en-
ployee in Wayne county, I will for
the benefit of the farmers of the
county ask you to print the follow
ing:
The law now reads: '"That any
person, firm or corporation who shall
knowingly hire, employ, or detain
in his own service any servant, en-
ployee, or wage hand of any other
person, firm or corporation, who
shall have contracted in writing, or
orally, for a fixed period of time to
serve his employer, and who shall
have left the service of his employer,
in violation of his contract, the per-
son, firm, or corporation so offending
shall be guilty of misdemeanor,
and fined or imprisoned, or both, at
the discretion of the Court, and shall
be civilly liable in damages to the
party so aggrieved."
A magistrate has no jurisdiction of
this offense; he can only bind over
to the Superior Court, if he finds
probable cause.
know that the farmers at this
time Of the year when they need the
labor of those whom they have hired
for the year, or for the crop season
more than at any other time, will be
glad that this is law. I feel that this
is a wise law, for quite often when
farmer has hired hand and pitched
his crop, counting on the labor of
that hand to cultivate it, and when
the farmer has housed and fed him
during the dull, cold months of the
spring, often at loss, counting on
the help when the days get long and
the grass is growing, to get his re-
ward, the hand will quit and will go
off to work by the day for larger
price than any one could pay him by
the season Or the year, and thus his
former employer is greatly damaged,
and, but for this law, would have no
redress whatever.
1t is said that locks are made, not
for thieves, but for honest men.
Laws are often made to make people
have due consideration for the rights
of their neighbor. / believe that if
this law is enforced, it will cause la
borers to be less tickle, and they will
eventually be able to command bet
ter wages. This law does not only
apply to farmers, but as we'll to do
mestic servants, and / am sure that a
few indictments here in GoldsborO
would have wholesome effect and
in a measure settle the servant ques-
ton that gives the good women of
our town so much trouble. Hoping
that the above will be of interest as
well as of benefit to some of the citi-
zens of the county, I am
Yours truly,
