The newspaper mamie who loves
his profession chiefly, or primarily,
for the good he can accomplish
through it's instrumentality, may not
round out great material wealth, but
measured by-well-let's not say by
what, but here's a story in point
that will illustrate what we mean

'You needn't try to convince. me
that the world is selfish to the CORE"
said a commercial traveller to the
writer. 81 have just returned from a
city in the middle west, where this
years and fast losing his eyesight
had saved some $500 to buy him a
little cottage and, with his wife,
took the money from the bank to
close the deal. Like most uneducated
persons, he couldn't understand hav-
itself to carry. In the elevator he
was robbed of the money. He did
not make an outcry, neither did his
wife, they were too stunned.
cat the police station, where they
reported the loss, every man on the
force was touched at the pathos of
it. They impressed upon the police
reporters the worth of the aged
teamster and his anguish over the
loss. The police reporter of one
paper wrote the story just as it hap
pened. In Is minutes after the noon
edition of the paper was on the
streets the telephone on the city ed
itor's desk began to ring. OF course
you'll start fund for that man, put
me down for $10.' Well, money pour
ed in without any begging for it, and
in less than three weeks the amount
was raised and the identical cottage
bought.
There was no scheme or graf
about this. The public heart JUS
opened to the old man and his goot
wife. saw them when they came
to the newspaper Office to thank thu

mon. The grasp Of the mans hard
ened, brown hand, though he coult
not speak, made you wish you coult
help some one every day."

AT FRIENDS CHURCH.
Distinguished Speakers Are Furnish
ing Spiritual Feast OF Rare
Grace.

The Meetings of the Bible Insti-
tute and the sermons at the Friends
Church are proving to be a gracious
success. The large church audi
torium was filled Sunday morning
and night to hear the distinguished
Emma B. Malone, of Cleveland, Ohio.
All went away delighted. Better ser
mons were never listened to in
Goldsboro. Her face is lighted with
a heavenly love, her voice is sweet
and clear, ner manner is earnest.
She often moves the audience to
tears. Her familiarity with Bible
subjects, and her mental grasp of
her themes are remarkable. Her
expositions of lesson on the life of
Abraham has been such that Bish-
ops might hear with profit
She speaks at II o'clock and at
1880. There was large audience
again last night, and the sermon
was remarkable one.
Prof. Jno. w. Moody's addresses
at 2 o'clock are worth going a
long way to hear. The discussions
ON Church Work are profitable.
Attend these meetings. The hours
are 1O:30, 200 and 7:30.

JUDGE ALIENS VIEWS.
He Expresses Himself In Regard TO
That Judiciary Regulating Bill.

Judge o. H Allen was asked the
other day what he thought of the
bill suggested in the Legislature to
require judges to remain at county
seats throughout the entire time al
lotted for a term of court. 81 like
that all right" replied Judge Allen.
'tSuch law would make no differ
ence with me, as it is my custom to
remain to the end of the term any
way. But 1 would like to offer one
amendment to such bill, and that is
that every lawyer having business
with the court be also required to re-
main to the end of the term, and
that they be allowed to continue nc
cases, even though counsel on both
sides consent to it, unless the judge
gave his consent to such continu-
ance.'
Judge Allen said further that out
of the sixteen Superior court judges
in the State, very few Of them show
ed a disposition to leave their courts
before the expiration of the term, YET
he noticed that all Of them came
more or less under general criti
cism for the shortcomings of tht
few.

GOD IS EVERYWHERE.
IN M-PerTdding, Though
Silent, CaA For Help.
Far and Near, On Land and On The
Bosom Of The Great Deep, In.
StrumentS Caught the Cry.

Out of the fog off Nantucket light
ship early Saturday morning came
an all-pervading, though silent, call
for help. The giant White Star
Liner Republic, with well-nigh, a
thousand souls on board, had been
rammed by the steamship Florida.
The sharp prov of the latter left a
through which the waters rushed,
and but for the transcendant skill
of the modern shipbuilder proba-
bly, not a soul on the great vessel
would have been saved.
Scarce had the echo of the COLI
sion died away in the fog when the
wireless apparatus of the Republic
had begun to hurl appeals for aid
into space and on the wings of the
lightning went the messages. Far
of the great deep, instruments caught
the cry. Response was instant and
many vessels were rushing at top
speed to the aid Of their endangered
sister before the message came that
the Republic, though badly crippled,
could remain af1oat.
This was the first test of the value
of the wireless transmission of mes
sages in any great emergency. The
quickness with which responses we're
received proved of the greatest COM
fort to those on the endangered vessel
and demonstrated fully the great i'm
portance of the invention.

WE GO FORWARD
Grand Jufy's Report to the
Court.
1t Takes High and Csmmenddbls PO-
sitlon For Progress Through
Its Recommendations Of
Needed Improvements

The ARGUS publishes below the very
comprehensive and excellent report of
the Grand Jury Of our present term of
court, ami we endorseiit in toto and
commend its recommendations and
urge that the County Board of Com
missioners inaugurate them and push
them speedily to completion.
It is indeed gratifying to see q
"Grand Inquest; that realizes its OBJ
legations and does it's duty SO intelli-
gently as has the Grand Jury of our
present term.
Here is the report:
To the Honorable G. c. Lyon, Judge
Presiding, January term. Wayne Su-
perior Court.
We the undersigned grand jurymen,
do respectively submit the following
viz:
We have visited and examined the
county jail and find same in good con-
dition.
We have visited the County Home
and found same in a most excellent
condition. The INN ates seem we'll con-
tented, well cared for, and have. every
attention that could be reasonably ex-
pected. The superintendent has made
many changes and established certain
rules and regulations for the govern
ment of the property, which are most
excellent. We commend him flor his
excellent management, and feel that
he has not been sufficiently Epaid for
his services. This is very valuable
property and we feel that the county is
fortunate in having the present super
intendent. The care of the inmates,
the general supervision OF the affairs Of
the home, the overseeing of the farm,
etc., require and receive at his hands
what we belieye is necessary.
We recommend the paying OF the
Superintendent, Mr.. e. b. Williams,
$40 per month, and his wife, Mrs. e.
B. Williams, $40 per month for their
services, and believe with such SUBJ
stantia1 encouragement, the superin-
tendent will make the property to Q
large degree self-sustaining.
We find the condition Of the court
house bad. There In q general appear
snce of neglect about the property.
The present building does not meet the
present requirements Of thel county.
There is absolutely no tions
for witnesses in attendance upon the
court. We find blinds missinga from
portions of the building, hand kcertain
rooms positively filthy. The grounds
about the building have an appearance
of neglect and the property generally
is reflection upon the county. No
provision seemss to have been made
for the comfort of the jury during their
de1iberation.
| We have visited the convict camp
and find 1t in every kfair condi.
tion, but believe conditions would be
much improved upon receipt Of ad'
ditional tents, which have been order
ed.
We. find the Offices OF Clerk and
Register Of Deeds in q most excsllen
condition.
We recommend thelsplacing Of ~
electric light at the front entrance o.
the court building. az there is DANCE
Of injnry to visitors attending court o
night.
We find that Flora Vail should hav,

has been acting in this capacity, hal

in a non-Amercan Pacific port puts to an American

ceremony is now not common. The pihatas among the poor peons may contain cheap trinkets, pieces of sugar cane, etc.
 On Christmas eve, or the Noche Buena, the religious service and fun exceed that of all other nights. The service of asking for lodging is much the same, except at this time, which marks the anniversary of the arrival of Joseph and Mary in Bethlehem, they are lodged in stable, represented in one corner of the room. The special cere- mony of the evening waits until midnight which time is passed in dancing. Fifteen minutes be- fore midnight, the exercises of the Noche Buena begin with the sing ing of the litany of the Niiio Dios. This last ten minutes and five min utes are given to the singing of the Rorro for the soothing of the in- fant Jesus. The Rorro is a bea uti- ful typical epitome of the Mexican lullabies.
 At 12 o'clock the ceremony of laying the Nino Dios in His ma h. ger takes place, curtain is dra wn disclosing the stable with Mary and Joseph and a brilliant star marking the spot where the Christ is to lay. In the back ground are toy cattle and horses. Two per. sons, man and woman, are chosen to place the Christ in the manager cradle. This closes the ceremony, and then comes the great supper, dancing and joy unconfned.

Nilsson Returned for Trial.

It will be recalled that in the week preceding the October term of the district court a Swede named Ola Nilsson was arrested at the de- pot for aSsaulting the immigration officers whe attempted to collect the head tax imposed by law upon immigrants, held to the grand jury, indicted, and then examined for insanity in the probate court, which resulted in the commitment of the man to the insane asylum, the criminal case against him in the district court going over for the term. At the time it was under stood that the immigration service would have the man deported as an undesirable alien. Last week Sheriff Saxon was informed by the authorities at the asylum that Nilsson had recovered his reason, and that he was about to be re- leased. Furthermore it was stated that the immigration authorities had abandoned any intention oi deportation. So, armed with a bench warrant Sheriff Saxon went over to Phoenix and brought back the man, wh6 will be held in the jail until he is tried at the next term of court.

workings in virgin ground all the way; and the plans contemplate ten shafts, all of which will be sunk and devoted to operation at the earliest time possible. When there have been opened large ore reserves sufficient to keep the mill supplied continuously it will be started upon a long and profitable run. MT. Butters estimates that it will take at least fifty years to work out the lodges.
 The machinery erected at Copala is all of the latest and most ap- proved types. There is a large steam plant which drives heavy dynamos, and from the latter the electric power is transmitted by wire to the mill, to the various hoists and pumping plants and to the machine drills in the mines. About fifty miles away is a fine water power owned by company developing property in that vicin- ity, which will be developed and the surplus energy sold. MT. Buffers plans contemplate the use of power from that point, at some time in the future, when available, which he estimates will save about one dollar per ton in the cost oi reduction of ores, and will be quite an item. ft k4t lfett @
