Everybody's June fiction is rather
out of the ordinary. In the first

standard set by her famous prize
stories. In Along the Ripply River"

heroism with all her usual charm and
little more than her usual vigor,
and out of IL all evolves an absorb
ingly interesting tale. Robert Dunn
recounts the insubordination of one
of Uncle Sans sailors who blondined
his hair for the good of the service.

ROMANCE AND SUSPENSE.
From Wedding Ceremony to Surgical
Table.

Readers of The Argus in this city,
where the young lady in question is
we'll known, having at times visited
her sister here, Mrs. e. C. Brooks, will
be interested in the following, which
we copy from this mornings issue of
the Greensboro Daily News:
"A very unique and romantic we'd
ding ceremony was performed yester-
day morning at st. Leo's Hospital,
when DR.. John r. Paddison, of Oak
Ridge, was united in marriage to Miss
Fora Sapp, of Kernersville, by Rev. E..

CDR. Paddison and Miss Sapp were
to be married on November 9, but
Tuesday he had a sudden attack of
appendicitis, and after a consultation
with his physician an operation was
thought necessary and he was brought
TO this city and carried to st. Leo's.
knowing that 1t would be impossi-

NO SMALL CHANGE IN ALASKA.
Use, Residents Say, Means Low
Wages, So 1t Is Barred.

Chicago, Nov. 1.-'No pennies, nick
els and dimes go in Alaska said John
Hoover to a reporter. When first
went to that country I saw bartenders
look curiously at dime that some
tenderfoot had tossed on the bar and
then sweep it off on the floor with
their hands. wondered at this con-
tempt for real money, and asked some
questions about it, discovering that no
one ever took nickels or dimes and
that nothing could be bought in the
K1ondyke for less than twenty-five
cents.
'HTake the ordinary sack of tobac-
CO, for instance, which we get here
for nickel. There they cannot sell
it for a quarter hardly, so they make
it two for quarter, but will not sell
one for fifteen cents.
"It is common cause among those
people up there. They do not want
nickels and dimesintroduced, for in
PRODUCTION of small change would
mean lower wages and lower prices

DEFENDANT 95 YEARS OLD.
Veteran of MexicOn and Civil Wars
Discharged by Judge.

: Bloomsbury, Pa, Nov. THAT a
man is never too old to get into trou-
BILE was again illustrated in the Co
lumbia county court when William
Moser, aged ninety-five years and
looking every day of his age, a vete-
ran of both the Mexican and Civil
wars, who declares with pride that he
was the only surviving member of the
ssDanville Guards" who fought in the
first named war, was tried before
Judge Evans on surety of the peace
charge.
Mrs. Clara Ball, of Pine township, a
neighbor, accused him of threatening
to burn her house and throwing stones
at her home. The veteran had Mrs.
Ball arrested on the charge of threat
ening to kill him. Their homes, it de-
veloped, were but six feet apart, and
Moser was tenant of Mrs. Ball.
Judge Evans told the litigants that
they were both too old to get mixed
up in court and directed them to go
back home and live peaceably.

ing at Ten O'Clock.
Mondays Daily Argus.

Mondays Daily Argus.
Shortly after ten o'clock this morn
ing the news went over the city that
Mr.. Lewis d. Giddens was dead, and
the tidings carried sadness to indeed
every heart in Goldsboro, where Mr..
Giddens had lived from his young
manhood, and where he had not only
made a success in life in material
things, but far more than that, by his
upright daily walk and conversation
had won the respect and confidence
Of people Of more than two genera
tions.
Mr. Giddens was born in Wayne
county September 8, 1885, and moved
to Goldsboro in 1858. When the Civil
War came, he enlisted in Company
e, Twentieth North Carolina volun-
teers, and served through the entire
four years of conflict.
A good soldier, he was devoted to
the cause in defense of which he
freely rendered his life, and it's MEM
ories were always cherished by him
through all the after years.
In 1856 he married Miss Margaret
Ireland, of Sampson county, and eight
children were born to that marriage,
all Of whom, with their mother, sur
vive. These are Mrs. R. e. Weaver, of
Greensboro; Mrs. J. Wey1and Jones,
of Wilson; Mr.. L. D. Giddens, Jr., of
Wilson; Mr.. J. Frank Giddens, of
Morehead City; Mrs. M. L. Smoot, of
Salisbury, and Mr. r. I. Giddens, Miss
Mary Emma Giddens and Miss Josie
Giddens, of this city, and in his de-
c1ining years their loving ministry un-
to his failing health was both a COM
fort and blessing to him.
Mr.. Giddens was a good man, and at
1ife's close, when it can be said of any
man that he was good man, the life
of that man was real success. OF
modest and retiring disposition, of
strict integrity, Of heroic courage, of
blameless life, he has gone to his long
home rejoicing in the promises that
fail not, for his faith ever looked up
to Him to see whose face is the joy
Of the elect.
Mr.. Giddens is survived also by one
brother, Mr.. H. B. Giddens, of Clin-
ton, and one sister, Mrs. Robert
Thornton, near Newton Grove, besides
wide circle of near relatives.
To the devoted wife and children
the sympathy of all our people goes
out with inexpressib1e tenderness.
The funeral will be held from the
home on William street south, tomor-
row afternoon at four o'clock, con-
Quoted by Rev. e. III. Davis, pastor of
st. Paul M. E. Church, of which de-
ceased was devoted member, and at
the request of the family Rev. J. Gil
mer Buskie, rector of st. Stephens
Episcopal Church, will assist.

PLANNING FOR CONVENTION.
Farmers Show Strong Sentiment il
Favor of Improved Highways.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 1.-Nevel
in the history of automobiling hal
there been such a widespread senti
ment in favor of good roads as at the
present time. Owners and users Of
motor cars are not the only ones, how.
ever, to whom this fact is clearly ap-
parent The farming and the rural
communities in all parts of the coun-
try are showing an earnest desire fol-
improved methods of highway trans.
portation.
While it may be too much to say
that the lessons taught by the last
two national good roads conventions
have been entirely responsible for this
widespread attitude for better roads
it is generally admitted by the dele
gates who attended the convention in
Cleveland that the effect of these
big meetings has been the means, per-
haps indirectly in many cases, OF
stimulating the good roads interest
to the important position it occupies
today.
That this movement for better
roads is national one, which is des-
tined to increase is strikingly evil
denced by the eagerness Of the busi-
ness men of st. Louis to have the third
annual national good roads conven-
ton held in their city. The invita-
ton presented at the recent Cleveland
convention by the business men bore
the Endorsements of Governor Had1y,
of Missouri, and Mayor Kriesmann, of
st. Louis.
Those who extended the invitation
showed in a convincing manner the
growing demand for better roads not
only in their state, but throughout the
Middle West, and st. Louis will there
fore be the scene of the third annual
good roads convention in the early
part of October, 1910.
Plans have already been outlined to
make this convention more important
than the two preceding ones in the
practical demonstrations of road
building.
Realizing that endurance, combined
with reasonable economy, is the pres
ent day problem for good roads in
most of the suburbs and rural districts
of the country, Logan Waller Page, di-
rector Of the United States office of
public roads, ispreparing to send sew
eral of his experts to St. Louis and
neighboring localities for the purpose
of cooperating with the state and
county engineers in experimenting
with improved methods of construc-
ton. The object of this work on be-
half of the government is to show that
it is possible to build roads capable
of withstanding heavy and continuous
traffic without the expenditure of ex-
cessive sums of money, provided the
work is done by engineers of road
construction.
