COST SOMETHING TO WIN BET
Took Beer to Get a Wager Down and
Wine to Get II cashed.

The problem of getting a bel down
at the race track under the present
strict Interpretation Of the new law
was solved recently at Gravesend In
a rather ingenious way, says the New
York Tribune.
A man who was anxious to wager
ten dollars on supposed good
thing" approached onetime book
maker and asked what price he would
lay against Rye in the fourth race.
"Oh, four to one" was the response,
but l don't know you, and don't care
to be arrested for accepting the cash. "
That's all right" replied the anx.
ious better; come and have beer.
I'll pay with ten-dollar bill, and you
can pick up the change. OF course
I'm getting a shade the best Of 1t, but
you won't mind that"
They had the drink, and five min
utes later a certain man rooted long
and hard and shouted jubilantly when
Rye galloped home in front. He then
rushed off to find the memory
broker" and get his money, but the
same old problem confronted him
again.
"Tll tell YOU" slyly suggested the
one-time layer, come and have bot.
tie of wine; I'll pay for 1t with $50
bill, and you can pick up the change.
OF course, I'm getting shade the
best of It, but you won't mind that"
The wine was opened and the trans
action completed and then the better
turned away, remarking: 1T costs
something to win bet under the
Agnew-Hart law"

Contrast In Wills.

II, as is stated, the will of the late
duke Of Devonshire contains nearly
$4,000 words, It is certainly entitled
to rank high among long-winded ties
taments.
Probably the shortest will on rec.
ord was that Of Streatham gentle
man, proved few years ago, which
ssnsisted OF the words; "All for moth.

The French Point of Beauty.

A point of beauty always sought
by the French in the arrangement OF
the hair is to present joll nuque,
that is, pretty nape of the neck,
Effects they produce in this respect
are wonderful, and are chiefly attained
by care in securing graceful line
marked by the hair from ear to ear
and charming contour which clever
waving of the hair produces.

Nothing is more delightful than to
be invited to visit home where good
form prevails in all things; where
nothing is underdone or overdone;
where there is that touch of nicely
and refinement at once refreshing to
the man or woman who is constantly
rubbing elbows with the world. In
such home you will invariably note
that Nabisco Sugar Waters are served
at luncheon or dinner or on the shady
lawn. Nabisco Sugar Waters are tru-
ly the most delightful CONNECTION ever
conceived ever dainty and delicious
and always good form.

Male ErlendshIns.

Remarks have been made lately as
regards the apparent decline of close
personal friendship between men. Per.
haps something in our busy modern
life accounts for our lower note in
masculine friendships Perhaps, too,
much that belonged to interchanges
between man and man is now pos
sible between woman and man, as

SENATOR SIMMONS AT WORK
A Resolution That MeanSssBlg Things
for Eastern North Carolina.
Especial to the ARGUs.)

Washington, March 4ESenator Sim
mons has submitted a resolution in the
U. S. Senate asking that the Secretary
of War be directed to cause surveys to
be made of Neuse River from Pamlico
Sound to Kinston; Tar River from
Pamlico Sound to Washington; Pas
quotank River from Albemarle Sound
to Elizabeth City; Roanoke River
from Albemarle Sound to Weldon;
Chowan River from Albemarle Sound
to a point opposite Winton, with the
view to improving navigability and
providing channels of ten feet deep, SO
as to conform the depth of these rivers
from their mouths to the points speci-
fed with the depth of the canal au-
thorized by the river and harbor act Of
1906, to connect the waters of Pamlico
Sound and connecting sounds with
the Atlantic Ocean at Beaufort.

FOR CORPORATION COMMISSIONER.

The ARGUS is pleased to learn that
Hon. Benjamin F.. Aycock, OF Wayne,
will be a candidate tor nomination for
Corporation Commissioner before the
next Democratic State convention.
We know of no man within the boun-
daries of the State who is better quail
fled in ability and experience for this
position. From his earliest youth Mr..
| Aycock has been one OF the s%tanchest
and most active of Democrats, giving
largely of his means and time to the
support of Democratic principles and
the election of Democratic candidates.
He has served as Senator from this
senatorial district in the General As
semblies of 1889, 1891, 1898, 1901 and
1907. Much legislation was enacted at
these sessions of the General Assent bly,
of a highly important character to the
people Of the State, and Mr.. Aycock
was leader IN most of the measures
which have proved most beneficial.
He was early one of the and
most active advocates of the establish
ment Of the railroad commissions. It
was largely owing to his earnest and
persistent advocacy that the railroad
companies OF the State which had long
been exempt from taxation we're placed
on the tax list and caused to bear their
share Of the burden of taxation. He
has been the constant and unremitting
friend of all legislation looking to the
improvement of the public school sys-
tenn of the State. He was an advocate
for the establishment OF the State Nor
NAL and Industrial College for Women
at Greensboro, and for many years
servsd on the Board of Trustees OF that
!, institution, where his wise and valua-
BILE services were greatly appreciated
He advocated the estab lishment of the
institution for the deaf at Morganton,
which now stands at he head OF insti-
? ~tutions of it's kind in the world.
o In this generation at least we have
had no Senato wiser or more progress.
i've, nor one who has so impressed
r himself upon legislation. During his
services in the Senate no measure look.
ing to the improvement of the condi.
ton of the people OF the State has failed
to receive his earnest and efficient sup.
port.
In 1896, he was nominated for State
Treasurer and made a most gallant
fight for the State ticket, and wen
down with his associates under thu
(, fusion Of that year.
n Mr.. A cock is a man of wide exper
Y fence, having engaged extensively il
mercantile pursuits and in farming, il
a most careful student of ant
political questions, and withal one O
q the and most convincing pub
lie speakers in the State. He is a NAL
o of the highest character and the mos
tindomitable courage.
His nomination would be exceeding
ly gratifying to his thousands Of friend
+ throughout The State, and would adj
greatly to the strength Of the Stat
ticket.
The ARGUS moves that his nomina
ton be made unanimous.

The Methodist church has had no
kindlier, drawer, or more conseerated
divine on the Episcopal bench thar
Bishop w. w. Duncan, who passed
away at his home in S~partanburg, S.
c., on Monday. He was born in V1r-
Rinia in 1889. Beginning his collegiate
education at Randolph-Macon IN V1r-
glnia he graduated at Wofford college
in South Carolina. During the war ne
served as chaplain in the confederate
army and after filling a number of i'm
portant pastOrates in Virginia he &C
-oepted in 1878 the p~rofessorsh1p OF
mental and moral philosophy at Wof-
ford. which he retained until he was
elected bishop in 1886.
Bishop Duncan was a strong man
mentally and was distinguished tor his
culture. He had exceptionally fine
executive qualities and no bishop pre-
sided over conference with more mark
ed ability. AS a church ruler he was
firm but never harsh. A man Of ready
wit he was singularly apt at repartee,
"nll0 LIS uuI11oI was az OAS
Gus and delightful. Although the de-
ceased was only a small boy when the
great Methodist denomination split or
the slavery question and the M. E
church, south, was established, he re
called those ~troublous days and grew
up as the tumultaous passion Of tn
country-south and north-was com
ing to white heat. His "reminiscences
Of the years leading UP to the war were
full and interest. for graphic and true
were the sketches that he gave of ante
bellum times.
A gentleman of he old school Bishop
Duncan had all the grace and dignit.
that characterized the chivalrous south
erner, but he had a tender heart ant
in social life was as gentle as a woman
He was sincerely beloved and hi
death will be widely lamented.
