II have waited two years before

few little pimples coming on my face

growing till they all met and was like
piece of well pounded beef-steak. I
went to three doctors, but none could
tell me what it was. I went to the
there, too. Then L went to Lawrence.
and there bought the Cuticura Remedies,
and to my surprise, 1 cured myself in
about week, and to-day 1 am well, my

SOUTHERN RAILWAY.
President Finley Makes Statement as
To The Reduction OF Wages Con-
tr0VerSy.

In regard to the negotiations which
have been going on between the South
ern Railway Company and its employ
ees in respect to a reduction of wages,
President Finley, OF the Southern, has
given out the following statement:
"Our employees, working under con-
tract, having declined our proposition
in regard to a reduction of wages, we
still feel confident that there should be
an amicable adjustment, and do not
propose to proceed in any arbitrary
way. We have notified our employ
ees of our regret that they can not, at
the present time, see their way clear to
accept the suggestions as to the wage
scale which the management considers
lmparatively necessary under existing
conditions, and have stated to them
that we will ask the mediation OF the
Chairman OF the Inters tate Commerce
Commission and the Commissioner of
Labor, under Section of the Erdmann
Act, which provides that in any con-
troversy concerning wages which
an interstate carrier, either party may
ask the Intervention of the Chairman
of the Interstate Commerce Commission
and the Commissioner OF Labor, and,
in the event of such request, requires
the officials named to put themselves
into communication, with all practical
BILE expedition, with the parties to the
controversy, and use their best efforts,
by mediation and Cancellation, to bring
about an amicable adjustment OF the
questions at issue.
1--WE haye accordingly requested the
mediation of the officials named in the
hope OF arriving to an adjustment of
all matters in controversy with our
men, which will be cordially accepted
by both interests involved.''

MISSOURI REPUBLICANS.
First To be Held, With The Exception
OF The Recent Split Affair in
Florida.
Especial to the ARGUs.)

st. Louis, Feb. 26.-Hundreds ot
leading Republicans of Missouri, in
Guiding a majority of the 1000 dele
gates, have arrived in the city to at
tend the State convention which will
meet tomorrow to select the delegates
at-large to the Republican National
Convention at Chicago. Tho national
leaders and campaign managers are in
clined to attach much Importance to
the Missouri convention this year.
The Republican convention of Mis-
souri, is the first to be held, with the
exception of the recent split affair in
Florida. Missouri was the first State
to take up the Taft candidacy, and it
has been regarded all along as one OF
the chief strongholds of the Secretary
Of War. The State central committee,
strongly dominated by Taft sentiment,
fixed an unusually early date for the
convention with view, it is said, of
putting one State solidly in the field
for Taft at as early date as the Fair
banks boomers in Indiana could get to
work
It has been accepted as a foregone
conclusion all along that the delegates
at-large from Missouri are certain to be
sent to Chicago instructed for Taft.
Within the past week or two there has
been some quiet work done in the in
terest of Hughes and Cannon. This
has stirred things up bit, but as near
ly all of the county conventions adopt
ed resolutions endorsing Taft there is
little doubt that the Secretary OF War
will be able to count upon the solid
support of Missouri next June.
Senator Warner and Attorney Gen
eral Hadley will be two of the four del
egates- at-large. The other two have
not been fully agreed upon. The con-
vention will probably endorse General
Hadley for the gubernatorial nomina
ton.

OPIUM TRAFFIC
in PHILIPPINES.
Law Prohibiting the lInpor-
tatiOn of Opium into fine
Philippines Becomes e.
feCtiVe Tomorrow.
Futile Efforts Have been Made by In
fIuentiaI Persons in the Islands to
Secure an Extension Of Time in Re-
gard to Putting the Law into Effect,
but Congress has Declined to Grant
any Extension.
Especial to The ARGUS.)

Washington, D. G., Feb. 29-Tomor-
row is the date fixed for the law pro-
hibiting the imoprtation of opium into
the Philippines to become effective.
For many years large quantity of
opium has been consumed in the is
lands, mainly by the large Chinese
element, but more recently the habit
of opium smoking has been rapidly ex-
tending among the native Filipinos
and even among the American resi-
dents.
Futile efforts have been made by in
fuential persons in the islands to Sc
cure an extension of time in regard to
putting the law into effect.
Acting on the advice of the 1nsular
aut thorities Congress has declined to
grant any extension of time and the
internal revenue officers have been
directed to employ their utmost efforts
to stop the traffic from this date.
There will doubtless be many at
tempts to smuggle the drug into the
islands, but the authorities believe
that in the course of time it will be
possible to bring about total stop
page OF the traffic.

A GOLDSBORO GIRL.
Little Miss Mary Jordan Fry
Develops a Marvellous
Voice.
At Ye OIde lyme Fiddlers' Convention In
Spartanburg Last week She Capt.
waited Everybody with Her
Siren Singing.

From the Spartanburg, S. c., Daily
Herald of February 21, we copy the
following account of the singing in
that city of a former Goldsboro girl,
the daughter Of Capt. and Mrs. S. G..
Fry, who are still most pleasantly and
cordially remem bered here:
1.-THE singing of Miss Mary Jordan
Fry, fourteen year-o old girl from Gas
tonia, n. c., was one Of the most mar
velous musical features ever heard
here. This girl has a most wonderful
contralto voice, and sings with the ease
and grace of prima donna, with the
most delightful exception that one can
catch every word and understand it.
There are no words lost in reaching
high notes or in trilling, and when she
sings it is a sweet story recited as it
were to music. The old time fddlers
had been saving their fiddles and reap
ing the utmost satisfaction and sharing
the same with their audience, when Don
Richardson introduced the sweet little
singer, who sang"Old Folks at Home, -
to an accompaniment played by Prof.
Greenewald. "The old fellows had on
their hats when the beautiful child i'll
blue dress came in the glow of the foot
lights and began to sing. She had
scarcely finished one verse before every
hat was removed, and the fiddIers, with
their locks whitened by the SHOWS of
many winters, sat as if charmed by
some siren song. Before shes finished
the first chorus there were tears in the
eyes of some of the gray haired boys"
Perhaps they were thinking of the lit
tie cabin in the lane, around which the
black berry vines and sumack brushes
grew where the days were long and
golden-goIden as the locks of the little
girl who stood in the glow of the foot
lights and sang in sweet, childish
voice Of those scenes of days gone by
which cluster in the hallowed riches of
memory.
''There is something remark able in
the singing Of Miss Fry, in that she has
never taken music lesson in her life.
Last night she was encored and re-en-
cored. graciously responding to the
limit tofendurance. This morning Miss
Fry will sing before Prot. Manchester
at Converse College. She will appear
in aye Olde Tyne Fiddlers' Conven-
tion" at the theatre again this evening.
There have been wonderful singers in
Spartanbu burg, and singers that have
charged by the word as it were for their
songs, but Miss Fry, the little four
teen-year-old girl, stands without
peer. She stands uniquely alone as
the most wonderful contralto singer in
the city. To hear her is to dream of
the spirits of harmony singing to listen
ing sirens.
Howard Balew, ten-year-old boy,
son of Mr.. E. K. Balew, of fBlacksburg,
proved himself wonder on the piano.
He rendered a number of piano solos,
and received storms of applause. It is
rem arka BILE how the little fellow can
CLAW ivory" He seems as much at
ease at the piano as skilled pianist
would appear, who has been before the
public for years.

Especial to HE ARGUs.i

Milwaukee, Wis, Feb. 27-The Re-
pu blican State central committee went

This is counted upon to have the
added effect of arousing party enthusi-
