1t is very gratifying to the Argus,
and we are sure it will give pride and
encouragement to every public spirit
ed citizen of Goldsboro, to review the
statement of the Peoples Bank, pub
lish ID elsewhere in this issue. The
fact that this bank is yet within few
days of bring but one year old and
yet shows deposits in excess of one
hundred thousand dollars, is some
thing indeed for it's promoters and its
management to be proud of; and, too,
it establishes to the outside world, as
well as among our own folks, that
Goldsboro is a financial centre of sta
bility and 81 owth that deserves and
holds the confidence of the business
world. Goldsboro is all right, and that
it is going forward is additionally sub
stantiated by the splendid statement
of the Peoples Bank within the first
year of its establishment.

MANY PER|SHED IN
FIRE At ST. LOUIS
Thirty-Five Persons Missing
and Feared Dead
With the Aid of Seachlights Firemen
Looked for Bodies OF Those MIS-
sing All During the Night.
Seven were Recovered.

Seven were Recovered.
ST. Louis, March 9.-That from 80
to 35 guests of the Missouri Athletic
Club perished in the flames that de-
stroyed the building this morning IS
the belief of officers of the club to-
night
Seven bodies have been recovered
and from 23 to 20 occupants OF the
structure still are unaccounted for. AT
shutdown tonight firemen continued
the search for bodies in the shoulder
ing ruins under the glare of search
lights.
Though a committee early today
opened headquarters at the Press
Club and asked all who were guests
of the Missouri Athletic Club last
night to report, 80 to 35 did not reg
lister, and hourly the feeling grew that
al those were lost. Hope was given
by Fire Chief Swingley late today
that the water could be pumped out
of the ruins and that search for bod
les might then be resumed.
While the search continued today,
II persons injured in the ire were
under treatment at public and private
hospitals.
There was much difficulty in ldentl-
fying recovered bodies of the dead
and some were identified under two
or three different names.
The blaze was the most serious as
to fatalities of any fire in the city S
history. 1t completely wrecked the
seven-story building occupied jointly
by the Missouri Athletic Club and by
the Boatsmen's Bank, caused prop
erty loss estimated at $466,OOO.
The cause of the fire was mystery
tonight. Reports that the blaze was
accompanied by a terrific explosion
Indicating that the fire was due to
efforts of bank robbers to dynamite
the Boatmens Bank, were unconfirm-
ed. Reports of explosions were de-
MED by the night watchman of the
bank.
In the vaults of the Boatmen's Bank
which occupied part of the first floor
of the building, were more than ST.
100000 in currency. The vaults were
unharmed, the bank officials reported
The bank opened today in temporary
quarters a few blocks away.

COTTON WAREHOUSE BURNED.
Half Million Dollar Fire at WacO-5,-
900 Bales Consumed.

UVU DtAAcS CUASUMCVs
Waco, Texas, March 9.-Property
valued at half a million dollars was
destroyed today in a fire which swept
the pant of the Exporters and Trad
ers' Warehouse and Compress Com
pany in East Waco. The loss includes
the $4,000 plant, 5000 bales of cotton
in storage and on wharves, eight box
cars of the Missouri, Kansas e Texas
Railroad and adjoining outhouses of
the company. Losses were said to be
nearly covered, by insurance.
A big brick warehouse containing
more than 1000 bales of cotton was
closed and withstood intense heat.
So rapidly did the flames spread
that employees in the business Office
were forced to flee from their desks,
losing personal belongings.
Sparks from locomotive was CIV

new EVIDENCE FOR FRANK
Lawyers For Both Frank and the State
Of Georgia Are Busy Gathering
New Data i'm Atlanta.

New Data i'm Atlanta.
Atlanta, Ga, March 9.-Lawyers for
Leo M. Frank, under death sentence
for the murder of Mary Phagan, to-
day were busily engaged in the ar
rangement of new evidence which will
be submitted to the Superior court
with an extraordinary action for a
new trial. The newly discovered evil
dence is said to include several afi-
davits which have not been made pub
lie.
There apparently is little probable
ity that Frank will be executed on
April 18th, the date recently designat-
ed by Judge Hill, of the Superior
court. Indications are that the extra
ordinary motion for a new trial will
not be sumbitted until a few days be-
fore the date set for the execution
by the Superior court judge, it is stat
ed that an appeal to the Supreme
court will be made. This action would
automatically result in the indefinite
stay of execution.
Activities of the defense were ex-
pected to be renewed this week by
the arrival of the head of a detective
agency Of National reputation whose
agents have been working on the
case.
That the State is not remaining in
active is shown by a new affidavit in
which George w. Epps, Jr., repudiat-
ed his affidavit to the defense in which
he declared that he perjured himself
during the Frank trial.
In the new affidavit Epps declares
that he was coerced into repudiating
testimony given during the trial in
regard to the movements of the Pha-
gan girl on the day she is supposed
to have been killed.

~ VERY once in while some of
II my American friends go over to
IL Paris. and when they come back
they say, "Oh, just see. madame,
what got in that wonderful Paris of
yours" and then they show me the
gown, the suit, tfe hat, and say: "Oh,
la, Ia! my poor little friend. Is that what
you take this great trip abroad for?
That gown? Why. that same gown you
can buy here in your own country for
less money!"
And that is true. I must acknowledge
that, even though I would like to say
that my own country is best in every
thing, clothes for women, and all
OF course, do think that the average
small shop In Paris, the average mo-
diste and the average dressmaking es-
tablishment, has better things than the
average American shop or dressmalIing
establishment, but for woman with a
this country is the best in the world to
shop in.

suits, for instance. French tailored suits

ordinary tailored suit-just one that win

you please, notice that in your depart
