Augusta, Ga, May 1.-The liabilities of Inman and Company, the cotton firm which was placed in the hands of A receiver today. are scattered over the country and probably to some extent in Europe. Several Atlanta banks held it's notes.

AND ARE WELL AGAIN

envy husband had been a great suf-
ferer with rheumatism for nearly fifteen
years. At first it was in his bones, but
after a while it was in the flesh and
finally running sores broke out on his
legs, from below the knees to the ankles.
There are no words to tell all the dis
comfort and great suffering he had to
endure night and day. He used every
kind of remedy and three physicians
treated him, one after the other, with
out any good results whatever. So
one day I happened to read about
Cuticura Remedies. I asked him if
he would not try them. No. said he,
its no use, I've spent enough mon
now The next day I ordered five
dollars worth Of Cuticura Soap, Cuti-
cura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent.
He began to use them without conf
dence but after three weeks all the
sores were dried up. The burning
FIRE stopped, and the pains became
bearable. After three months he was
quite well. Two years later the pains
and sores came back after he had been
working hard and had taken cold.
But as soon as he used Cuticura again
it cured him. Two years ago Z used
Cuticura Pills for general debility. They
did me a great deal Of good and made
me well. Three months since I had pains
in my back and Cuticura took them
away, too. I can. prove this testi-

Iy Goldsboro has weathered the recent
which only has come down to US. And
now, on the eve Of srops-tobacco and
cotton-eoming to marke it is, indeed,
most gratifying and assuring to our
business mon to realize that the fnan-
cial conditions hersabouts are all that
could be desired. We go forward.
WelAnew that the county CONVEX
ton is over and a good ticket has been
nominated, the farmers will have all
the leisure needtul for barning their
tobacco, pulling their fodder and at
tending to all their other agricultural
duties, free from the en~sroachment
and general solicituds of candidates
for 1.-The nomination." And this is
something to be thankful for this hot
weather.
The death of Mr.. Ed. HellowelI, q
most estimable young man Of this
county, son of the late Jos. Hollo well,
and q nephew of eur townsman Mr..

the Atlantic Coast Line hospital in
Rocky Mount, with which company
he was employed. He was unmarried
and is survived by his mother, two
brothers and one sister, to whom ia
their sad bereavement, by his untime-
ly death, the sympathy of their hosts
of friends goes out in sincere solicit
tude. The remains were brought down
Monday p. IN. to Dudley n borne out
to the old homestead in Brogden town
ship, for interment in the family bury
ing ground beside his father.
1t was a real pleasure to this entire
community to greet in the city today
the c~ongenial Mr.. HI. A. Pennock, ter
msrly one of US, but now q resident Of
Florida, where he is engaged as he " as
here, in fancy farming. He Is, if any
thing, looking younger than whom he
left us six years age, but he insists
that his youthful appearance is due to
his great pleasure at meeting us all
again and notingsthe substantial pro
gress Goldsboro has made and the
splendid prospect hat smiles upon us.
He says he has been reading in the
ARGUS regularly that"we GO forward
but, that he had no idea thatsour pro-
gross was so varied and substantial
Mr.. Pennosk anticipates spending sew

could be longer. In fact, We wish he
had never gons away. and, that he
would return to abide in the Best Town

IS BUSINESS REALLY BAD?
- |*ins#sss;;
Of Credit Men Indicates
That Depression is Not Great.
Chicago Journal.

Ch1C2RO JOURNAL.
The New York Times has been
printing reports from credit men in
various parts OF the country, giving
their views of business thus far this
year and their expectations of the fu-
ture.
1t is surprising to find that lmestall
habitually cautious. say that business
this year, while it has not reached last
years standard, has yet been equal to
that Of the year before. A credit man,
for example,, states the Baltimore sit
uation as follows:
by canvass we found3 that our
manufacturing and jobbing interests
Of Baltimore torl the five months of
1908 did a business amounting to 80
per cent. of what was covered by the
same period Of 1907, out they equaled
this same period of 1906; 1907 was our
best spring season. We alsp found

districts from where fruit products

over previous years. Our loss was
heaviest in the industrial districts, but
On the whole we had 80 per cent. of
1907 business"
Many other credit men make SINH
lar reports from their sections, which
lead to the belief that business depres-
sion has not been as great as has been
supposed, when compared with condi-
Itions only two aears ago. The country
has not done the business it was led
to expect by last years progress, but
has done what a short time since was
thought to be a large business. There
Is no reason for serious alarm in that
fact.
For the future, optimism prevails
among credit mon, who seem general
ly TO be Of opinion that there VIII b
no half-year of the future which will
not show a larger volume of commerce
in the United States than the first six
months ot490S.
That this fact is nottoo bright a view
of the situation is. indicated by the
news from Pittsburg, where more than
Sc, 1000 men who have bsen idle for
months, have Just gone to work and
more could be employed. if they were

men left the city and have not return
