HOW THE SENTENCE WAS
GIVEN.
A good one is told on Judge John
J. Hunt ol the Flint circuit, who
had listened to the prosecution of a
negro preacher in Monroe county
who was charged with arson, his
church having been burned and be
being accused of the crime. The
evidence was all against him but
the old negro was profuse in hie
statenunts, denying all knowledge
of the crime charged, and putting in
a strenuous plea for mercy.
Judge Hunt Paving heard the ev
idence proceeded to sentence him,
stating that he would give him the
extent of the lew from the fact that
he was not only proven guilty of the
crime against the statutes but that
he had used his c oth to hide his
hypocrisy.
He began then to lecture the col
ored brother upon the sin of hypoc
risy, stating that all religions con
demned it and that in the Eastern
world where Mohammedism ob
tained there were seven hells, the
seventh and the hottest being re
served for the liars and the hypo
crites; “consequently,” said the
judge, * I will give you fifteen
years* ”
A young lawyer in the bar said
audibly, “the judge id sentencing
him for hypocricy and not for ar
son/’
THEY WOULD PLAY THUNDER
It seems to have become a fad
with the alleged “reformers’' cf the
new school to lell their audiences
from the stump what they would do
if they were “the Almighty for five
minutes,” or a quarter of an hour,
according to the frenzy of the indi
vidual reformer. Davis H. Waite,
the Colorado lunatic, started the
sacriligious style of speech. He
wanted to be the deity long enough
to kill everybody who believed in a
gold standard for money, and to ap
portion their propeity among the
populists. Ex Gov St. John the
prohibitionist, a little later made use
in a “sermon’ ’ at Asbury
Park , N. Y., to say that be wanted
to kill everybody who sold or drank
whiskey, wine or beer, Last week
Mrs. Helen M, Gougar, the Indiana
woman reformer, wished she were
the Almighty for just five minutes,
so that she might annihilate Elijah
Morse, a congressman from Massa
chusetts, and several other evils that
afflict the country. Mrs. Lease is
another creature who thinks she
would know in five minutes more
about running the universe than the
Deity.
THE FARMERS.
These are hard times on the far
mers, for their cotton is not paying
for its production.
The condition that confronts the
farmers of this section row is about
this : they are competing with rich
er land whose owners have little or
no fertilizers to buy,
That condition will forever place
our farmers at a disadvantage with
their westerly neighbors. Therefore
as an all cotton country we arc not
in it. But God in his wisdom
equalizes things and we have the
advantage of those countries in
health and in our climate and soil
being of such a nature as to permit
us to have diversified crops. We
can raise everything we need except
coflee. Now just think of what
you would owe if you had bought
nothing but coflee and clothes this
year- You have 8 bales of eotton
you and the children made and it
will bring $240.00 now you could
clear $200,00 ot that money if you
had to pay for nothing but your
coflee and clothing. You see a far
mer who buys what he eats is not
farming in the true sense af the
word. It is absMurely absurb for a
farmer to buy anything to eat, for
he claims and has claimed all the
time that he feeds the world, but
now-a-days the merchants have to
feed the farmers, actually feed the
man who claims that he is feeding
the world.
The first object of any farm should
be to sustain itself and others as
well. What would you think of a
merchant who kept nothing to sell,
or a lawyer who would not practice
or a teacher who did not know the al
pbabet. A farmer who buys his
food is just as inconsistent and cai.
no more live than any other man
who sets up in business that he
wont do. Behold what a spectacle
A man who claims to feed the
world is buying coru.

If you do not settle what you
owe us by Oct Ist your notes and
accounts will be found in the
hands of an officer for collection.

NOT WANTED.
“The statement is made that (he
theatrical managers of the country
have refused to give Madeline Pollard
dates at their houses, and the A-’tor’s
Union denounces her proposal to go
on the stage as an ‘insult to the pro
fession and the Ame-ioan people.’
This action of the managers of the
Actors Union deserves and will re
eieve the highest commendation from
the public at large. It is gratifying
to believe that the country is to be
spared the exhibition of this brazen
specticle Let Breckinridge and this
woman be cast out together.
The election returns from Kentucky
show that her partner in sin is not
wanted upon the political stage, and
he, too, is without an engagement.
These two sinners eliouhl form a
combination and go to Salt Like, they
might arrange for dates there ami
start a side show concern.” —Griffin
Call.
The Argus would like to know
what Salt Lake has done to receive
such punishment. They should be
persecuted ia some manner, however,
and we suggest that they be made to
join the “Third Populist People's
Piano Party,” that’s equal to electro
< ution, inasmuch as it is a slow death
AS TO GOBER
We believe this was the first paper to
calJ the attention of the public to the fact
that Judge Gober was uufit for the position
he now occupies and untiit for the position
of Supreme court Judge Never have we
charged Judge Gober with dishonesty;
never have we charged him with a lapk of
legal ability; never have we charged him
with any dishonorable action politically,
but he has been charged with grave offen
ses and 13 good men in the legislature re
fused to find him guiltless, among them
such men as Reagan of Henry and TFest
of Lowndes. There is a s'ain, a suspicion
a want of confidence in Judge Gober that
wholly unfits him for the Supreme .flench
and it is the duty of Judge Gober to clear
his titles or tell the people he is not and
will not be an applicant for the place-
Unless he does we believe the amendment
to increase the number of Judges will be
defeated; if he is to secure a place it
should be.
Wo are satisfied he will never secure a
position by any action of Atkinson, for he
holds the wellfaie of his people above th e
ambition of any man—Hales Weekly.
TWO LIVES SAVED.
Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction

had Consumption and that there wa*s
no hope for her, but two bottles of Dr.
Kings New Discovery cured her and

cisco, suffered from a dreadful cold,
approaching consump'ion, tried with
out result everything else then bought
one bottle of Dr. King’s New Discov

naturally thankful. It is such re
sults, of which these are samples’ that
prove the wonderful efficacy of this

GOOD ROADS.
The people of A/eckleuburg county, N.
C., from being indififerent and hostile to
road improvement, have come to be moat
enthusiastic on the subj ect. Forty miles
of stone road have already been laid, and
tne work is being rapidly extended. At
first the farmers, as in other parts of the
country, were opposed to paying the extra
road lax, believing that they were not to
be specially benefiitted, or that they
would have to pay for the advantages ac
cruing to others. 2?ut they are now eager
to stand their snare of the expenses and
are clamorous for extensions, even offer
ing to deliver stone free in order to expe-.
dite the work. The labor is done by con
victs, and the Telford system is used.
The roadbed is made thirty feet wide aud
the metal as road engineers call the stone,
is placed over about half of its width.
2he other fifteen feet of the road is made
smooth for a summer road, being, when
dry and hard, much better for driving over
than a stone road. Other counties of the
state, it is reported, are about to adopt the
J/ecklenburg plan. Some of the benefits
derived from good roads were set forth at
the recent Charlotte road congress. One
of the speakers said: “The social isola
tion of country life has been greatly de
creased. Farmers keep better horses and
better vehicles. Four bales of cotton can
be carried to market with the team that
was formerly required to haul one bale.
It cost more to haul a cord of wobd ten
miles over the old roads than the wood
would fetch in the market. The good
roads enable the farmers to market a great
quantity of fruit and vegetables which had
formerly gone to waste. This has en
couraged diversified farming, and farmers
are fully conscious of the advantages ot
good roads.”
The importance of the road question is
not generally realized, but it is worthy of
i note that the people who have seen and
had experience with good roads are the
people most ready to make sacrifices in or
der to obtain them.
