No Reason iA 1t.

Suppose that in a railroad the pres
ident, the general passenger and
freight agents, and all other officers
with any really executive duties,
were replaced every few years by men
who had no thorough knowledge of
the subject How well would that
railroad be likely to be run, and how
safe would travel upon it be? Yet
government is also great enterprise,
and its conduct requires no less abil-
ity and experience.
There is no reason why the post
masters Of great cities and the col
lectors of the ports should not be per-
manent officers. There is no reason
why they should change with changes
of administration, for their work in
wolves no true question of party poll
cy. No one has yet discovered the diff
ference, or any proper difference, be-
tween Republican and Democratic
methods of delivering letters or exact
ing customs duties.
There is no reason why the heads OF
bureaus in the same way, and, indeed
all the officers in the departments at
Washington-save the members of the
Cabinet and their immediate under
secretaries-should not be perma-
nent.-President Lowell, of Harvard

To Try Out the Michigan.

Camden, N. j., June 5.-The fine
new battleship Michigan left the yards

pany today for her trial next weer
over the measured course Off Rock

ord that new battleship has gone to
sea for her official trial without pre-
Aninary test. So confident are the
builders of her success that they de-
cided to dispense with the usual pre-
liminary trials.
The Michigan is the first of aid big
gun battleships of the United States
Navy. In appearance and armament
she is distinctly different from any oi
the battleships now flying the Ameri-

lures are her four great turrets, out
of each of which will protrude pail
of 12-inch guns of the latest and most
powerful type. These turEets, which

REV. CRUMPLER RECANTS.
He Publicly Recalls His PentecOstal
Holiness Doctrine and Calls on All
His Followers to Return to Their
Former Church Affiliations.

Rev. A. B. Crumpler, of Sampson
county, the apostle of the Pentecostal
Holiness doctrine, which he originated
and has been preaching with great
power and some following throughout
this section of the State, having at
one time taken such a hold in this
city that a Pentecostal Holiness
Church was built here for his benefit
and he made resident pastor, which
church subsequently passed into the
ownership of the Society of Friends,
by whom it is now regularly used, has
publicly recanted this doctrine and is
going back to fellowship with his first
love, the Methodist Episcopal Church
South, and he publicly asked all his
followers to go and do likewise-that
is, return to the churches with which
they formerly affiliated before coming
to his fold.
This statement of Brother Crump
Ter was made from the pulpit in his
tent in this city last Sunday night
when he concluded two weeks tert
meeting here, and it was done in al
candor and in fine spirit.
In all of his Holiness doctrine
preaching, no one who knows Brother
Crumpler has ever doubted his sin
cerity or questioned his purposes. He
is consecrated, earnest, able man !;
crude in many ways, but the "sworG
CT tho spirit" in carrying conviction
to the sinner who sits under his pow
erful expounding of the Scriptures
The Argus has ever esteemed him
most highly, because, while not agree
ing with him at all in doctrine, we
have believed him sincere-and sin
cerity is what counts, both in this
| world and before the Judgment Seat.
| We are glad that Brother Crumplel
has returned to the fold of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church and we wist
him continued happiness and Ions
years to lead his exemplary life amons
| his felloWmen.

shot through the leg by a bullet from
a Winchester rifle, and although not
seriously injured, was unable to at

The regular night watchman at the

brother About three O'Clock Sunday

Frank Smith and j. T. Walker, who
after having some words with young
Manley started to leave the place. Mr..
Walker alleges that Smith was shot
when crossing the railroad, when
about twenty yards from the place
they, Smith and Walker, met Mon
day The latter claims that Smith had
started to leave, and then turned alb
ruptly and put his hand ON his hip
pocket as though to draw a gun. He
admitted shooting with a Winchester
rifle, but stated he only tried to scare
Smith.
The trial was postponed this morn

1T IS NOW DIR. WALTERS.
Degree of LID. Conferred Upon At
Iantic Coast Line Magnate by
Georgetown University.

At the Georgetown University COM
of Cardinal Gibbons, his friend of
long standing, Mr.. Henry Walters. of
Baltimore, owner of the famous Wal
ters Art Gallery, received the hon
orary degree of doctor Of laws; at
which time also was similarly hon
ored James H. Higgins, former COVER
nor of Rhode Island.
Mr. Walters, who is a bachelor of
arts of the class of 1869 and master
of arts of the class of 1871, George
town, was present, and received the
degree in person.
In comforting the degree upon Mr..
Walters the diploma, which was en-
crossed in Latin, was translated and
read as follows:
Whereas it is but right that they
who have given their best efforts to
the betterment of their fellow men, as
we'll as to the diffusion Of culture and
the fine arts, should be dignified with
a proper symbol of honor, we are of a
mind that Henry Walters, a distin-
guished alumnus of this University of
Georgetown, should be placed in this
category OF praise. For it is matter
of general knowledge that he has dis
played a generous liberality to the
needy and, following in the footsteps
Of his father, no less conspicuous for
his culture he has thrown open to the
enjoyment of his fellow citizens his in
valuable treasures of art, collected
through a lifetime, with a resultant
wide recognition of his distinction for
culture and artistic taste. This sure
ly must be recognized as source of
the highest qualification to this uni
Nersity, within whose halls he learned
his first lessons of a love for the fine
arts.
Therefore, by virtue of the power
granted us by the supreme authority
of these United States, we decree that
tn same Henry Walters shall be
crowned with the laurel of jurispru-
dence, and we hereby create and pro-
claim him doctor of laws.
f'And furthermore, That this right
shall be duly secured him, we have
with fullest commendation issued
these letters patent, signed by our
hand and sealed with the great seal

SWAT ,EM AS YOU FIND THEM.
DiffeFential Diagnosis by Which You
Can Distinguish the Stegomyia From
the AnnOpheles.

| Italy and Germany are not troubled
with the stegomyia mosquito, but
they have numerous anopheles which
continue each each year to create
| cases of malaria. Leipsig, large in
dustrial city in Germany, has partic-
ularly been afflicted with anopheles,
mosquitoes and maralial fevers, and
it has taken hold of the subject in ear
nest. Our consul at Leipsig makes
mention of an order from the city
council notifying all housekeepers in
the infected sections of the city to
carefully examine their houses or
apartments for anophe1es or malarial
mosquitoes and to destroy any that
may be found. Every household ia
the districts concerned has been fur
nished by the city council with large
circular, which, in addition to infor-
nation as to the cause and spreading
of malaria, contains advice as to the
best means Of destroying the malaria
mosquitoes. Certain dates have been
specified between which the houses
are to be searched and the mosquitoes
destroyed. At the expiration of the
time specified inspectors appointed by
the city council will visit each house
and apartment and make careful ex-
aminations to see that the work of
exterminating the mosquitoes has
been properly carried out. Those who
fail to comply with the regulations
nm flu h1xy ho
ject to fine of about $3.50.
The German scientists think they
have discovered an African aquatic
plant that will kill Il the mosquitoes,
but in the meanwhile they propose to
kill them according to other we'll
known methods. What the Germans
undertake to do they are very ant to
accomplish.
In killing the steomy1a New Or
leans has rid itself of the anopheles,
with resulting decrease in deaths
from malarial fevers of 400 year to
27 last year. There are but few
deaths in New Orleans on account of
malaria, simply because the anopheles
have been driven away.
Here in Goldsboro there are no
mosquitoes, but this section
affords plenty of anopheles mosqui-
toes, plenty of them. Every house
should be screened against them, and
every other means taken to destroy
their opportunities for breeding, and
the destruction of all those that are
born.
The anopheles can readily be distIn-
guished from the culex or harmless
sort. The former are, as rule, brown
and yellowish, and the oest way to
detect them is to watch them when
they rest. The body incilnes at an
angle from the surface upon which it
is resting, and the beak, thorax and
abdomen are all on the same plane,
whereas other mosquitoes are hump
backed and the abdomen is held prac-
tically parallel to the surface upon
which the insect is resting. The hu.:
Of the anopheles is lower in tone than
that of the culex. Any mosquito that
is not humpbacked when at rest is an
anopheles, and as a malaria bearer
should be destroyed on the spot.
