not at all surprised at, the continued
triumphs OF Goldsbero's noted turni-
ture house of Messrs. Royal & Borden,
who, as will be seen elsew here in this
issue, were cumulative prize winners
at the State Fair this week in Raleigh.

1t 10 a great pleasure to3 the ARGUS
to note againi as novel prize win.
ner at the State Fair, Golasboro'f
young genius, Master Raymond Pest
way, who two years ago. won prize
for his miniatures Locomotive designed
and constructed entirely by him. This
time he turned his attention to making
q layer cake having watched his
mother and the cook from time to
time making such, and his production
was awarded the blue ribbon at thu
Fair last week.
When the two platforms of the tws
big parties each demand tariff revision
and trust and railroad regulation, one
can see at once that an old time party
fight is impossible. The campaigning
of General Jackson's time and of Tip
pecanoe and Tyler, too, has gone neve
to return. 1t belonged to the youthful
days OF the republic. The party frenzy
the unbending partisan instinct, NJ
longer rules the land. Public educa
ton, including newspapers, has driver
it out, and it's absence is what renders
this campaign to a certain extent apa
thetic. Even at the corner store mer
no longer debate the issues. They seek
Information perhaps in fragments, bu
the old argumentative spirit is gone. L
will never return. The public schoo
has knocked it out. Men read now
adays, and they prefer to get their in
formation at first hands.
