LOCAL ITEMS.

A very sad death occurred in this
city Friday afternoon, that of David
G. Morisey, 10 years old, second son OF
Mrs.eE. F. Morisey, who is a widow,
and in her great and crushing sorrow
she has the tenderest sympathy of all
our people. Mrs. Morisey is the sister
of DR.. w. w. Faison, superintendent OF
the State Hospital here, and Of Mr.. Joe
Faison, of Sampson county. The fun
eral of the lad will be held from the
home this afternoon at 5 o'clock, and
the interment will be made in Willow
Dale cemetery.
Messrs. L. Banks Holt, A. w. Hay
wood, Jno. G. brewery, Mcbride Holt
and Master Thos. H. Wharton, who
have been on a fishing expedition to
Cartaret Lodge, passed through the
city today, homeward bound. They
told a wonderful tale of fishing and
feasting: but they showed no fish, and
judging from their appetities for the
ire dinner served them at the Hotel
Kennon, we would suppose-well-it
they should be proposed for member
ship in Roosevelt's Club they would
get our vote-on suspicion.

Have you seen the beautiful gold
watches-four of them-that are to be
awarded in the ARGUS circulation con-
test? They are on exhibition at the
store of Mr.. L.. D.. Giddens,
with a guarantee Of twenty ears be-
hind them. These watches were pur-
from Mr.. Giddens-a home
exhibition at Andrews and Wad-
was purchased from them. The
ARGUS is not waiting for the contest to
to have it's prizes ready. They
are ready now. If you be a winner in
the final count you will get the prize
awarded you on the night of the award.
All that the workers have to do in the
meantime is to hustle.
Don't be a constitutional croaker or
insidious "knocker." True, every

had 'em, even as far back as when
was in the zenith of her glory
gates, and it is recorded that one other
Captains of Industry swore in his
righteous wrath, that he would
be a dog and bay the moon than
such a Roman" And maybe there
were stknockers'' in Jerusalem, also,
for we read in the Hebrew chronicles:
man full of tongue is terrible in his
city, and he that is rash in his words
be Observation-Disclosures let it
20 at that. Don't De a "~knocker." Get
to the head of the procession of pro-
gress. Get in the ranks of those who
are e~ndeavorinp to do things for their
and get "knocked." 1t is really
much better, in the long run, to be
thar to be a knocker-It is,
Knocking is the tribute which
l%ittleness, envy and prejudice pay to
spirit and philanthropy.

We have the facts of two cen turies as the tinger-posts of pub lie policy, and a basis for intelli- gent statesmanship. We know that the only valuable place in the crime problem of America is the license bar; that the seeds of an archy are born in the demented brains of the victims of alcohol: that the purity of our homes is menaced by the brutal orgies that have been, and are yet fos tered in the saloon, and we hail, with delight, the awakened con science of the nation, behind which is the intelligent and we'll directed effort to make the princi- ples oforder and justice supreme.
 There can be no order or jus tice in the saloon.

A Prescott man looked over the Little Rock papers this morning and was struck with the news that Gov. Little was worse. A friend standing by sug- gested to him that if he had read the Prescott Daily News yesterday after noon he could have had this news al- most day earlier. This man is excus- able, however. It takes the people some time to get used to having a news paper in town. At the rate they are coming to it, however, we are lead to believe that it is no longer regarded as an impossibility.

Robert Knox Smith, Commissioner of Corporations, made report last week which discloses the fact that through out the past thirty years the Standard Oil Co. has been monopolizing the pe- troleum industry of the country and de- fiantly destroying competition and con- sequently the oil industry has been con- trolled by less than dozen men. We are not surprised at this report. Most people were sure of these facts long ago.

Iron Mountain vs ChappeII ct al.

MT. Chief Justice Hill deliv- cred the opinion of the court in the case of St. Louis, Iron Noun tain & Southern Railway Con- pany against Chappell & Billings ley.
 A warehouse containing hay of the appellees was burned, and the evidence tended to show that it was set afire by the negligent operation of an engine belonging to log road, which was permit ted to use the track of the Iron Mountain road at Prescott.
 The principal question is whether the Iron Mountain is re- sponsible for said engine, with out the company owning said en- zine, being joined in the action. Where there is a lease of one railroad to another and thelessee company is placed in possession and control of the road, then it is alone personally liable for injur- ies caused by negligence in the operation of it, but is also lia- bility against the property of the road by virtue of the constitution and statute. and in both such ac- tion both roads must be joined.
 In this case there was no lease and there was no possession or control of the Iron Mountain road and no part of it was given over to the log road, which owned the engine causing the fire, therefore it was unnecessary to join log road in this action, and the Iron Mountain was as much responsible for the negligence of the engine using it's track as it was for it's own engines. Judg- ment affirmed.

THEY DENIED The NINkS

The basket social given at the
Presby terian Church for the benefit
OF the Manse fund. was attended by
the greatest success. The idea OF the
affair was quite novel and caused a
great deal Of merriment. Each girl
came armed with a basket OF lunch,
which was auctiUned off to the boy
bidding the highest price. The
owner Of the lunch was to be un-
known until after the purchase. Her
name was found inside the basket
and 1t was then the duty OF the boy
to seek her out and share with her
the lunch. There was an important
fact settled at that social, however,
and that is that there is such thing
as mind telepathy This was proven
by the peculiar way In which the
boys could tell on whose lunch to
bid One OF the boys made a mis-
take and said something about
.winks' but OF course no one believ-
ed that. Some OF the lunches, on
which several OF the boys had the
anne inspiration, needless to say,
brought higher price.

not please Mr.. Enderlin, who makes
1t point to advertise for bids in the
1est papers.
Mr.. Reed recommended that the
Road Committee be instructed to
visit gravel pits near Pleasantville
and Pomona. He said the material
Ut those places is excellent and that
the Board would be wise in pufchas-
ing the pits at once.
Mr.. Enderlin wanted prompt ac
ton regarding the Chestnut Neck
bridge over Muliica river. After MIR
Irving had read number OF eDgi-
aeers' letters, which were nearly all
OF the same tone and very high in
price, Mr.. Higbee moved that
Chicago man be selected to confer
with County Engineer Rightmire,
the Burlington County engineer and
the Bridge Committees OF the two
counties at an early date. Mr.. En-
derlin said that "a man is not needed
to see whether the bridge is or Is not
good; everybody knows 1T is rotten,
and the sooner repair work is begun
the BETTER" The Chicago man VIII

deceased Freeholder, Capt Osg0od
a hungry body OF men cut short Mr..
Irving's plea for an auditor of the
accounts OF the officials who have
hem transferred by law from the
feed class to q salary basic. The
Board would not listen to Mr. r.
ying's suggestions and the matter
was laid over for a month. He be-
ieves that special legislation win be
necessary to meet the exigepcies, and
thought It wise to ascertain from
counties " here the fee system is MI
just how to proceed. But Mr..
trxing's efforts to shit the work Of
the Finance Committee did not re

The first excitement OF the meeting
was raised when George Hansel-
