Durham Growth sbctild bbfti&titve
of pride to all North Carolinians. No j
towu in North Carolina has been more
tfdvei tiscd, or is thcfs generally known
in all parts of the -world than the
wonderful tdwii ol ITurhain. Ami
vihit. to that town will Drove to the
skeptical leader tliat aT&atf wall
deserves all that has been said abbiit
Us growth and energy. We1 have
eque'4lly visited thefS during tbe
pist fourteen years, and 62' each visit
we are surprised at the many im
provements that have t&ken place
since our previous visit. Several
years ago we thought that real estate
was ridiculouslv Kghv t&fc Oh G&th
succeeding visit we found prices
higher .. and higher. Property that
we thought dear at a few hundred
dollars, a few years ago, is now con
sidered Sheai at as ras&y iiroasfcirds.
And it is a very remarkable fact that
no person has over lost a dollar in
speculating in Durham real state !
Not many towns can hoist of that.
We enjoyed the pleasure of visiting
Duih&u), a" few dfsjs ago and were
much pleased to note its continued
growth and prosperity. Through the
4tirWf fi is f hint W Hi.k-
uey, of the Recorder, we rode all
jver the town and saw it all. What
wo& a small village, only a few years
ago, is 'low a T6perous town of
over 7,000 inhabitants, with paved
streets, water works, electric lights
aiiCT 3trdet cars. Its niauy immense
brick buildings prove" ?h faith of
their owners iu the" stability and1 Jr
manency of Durham's prosperity.
No hanlior3: 6r costlier buildings
can be found anywhere in the State,
ud others are now in proeess of
construction. Although Durham's
growth has been so rapid, we predict
hat it will be still more rapid as
gboa m tbe rtilrods now in contem
plation are constructed. A railroad
is now being constructed between
Lynchburg and Durham and its early
Completion is assured. Ou next Sat
urday u election is to b'& held upon
the question of the town's subscrib-
' .viMrtnnnA i
fog 100,000 to the construction of a
toad to Hendci o and there seems
10 be no opposition whatever to the
i6poa$ subscription.- which will

And on the Saturday following an
other election is to bo held upon the
. proposition to subscribe $50,000 to a
road to Oxford. If these railroads
are constructed (and two are certain)
ibey wfl aot all stop at Durham,
but one or indie of tnem will be Con
tinued southward and tferss make
Durham quite a railroad centre. We
venture the prediction that the next
national census will show only three
cftietf iar North Carolina with a popu
lates kb large ss Durham's ! In ad
dition to tbo two banks already es
tablished at Durham a third is soon
to be- established, with Mr. Julian S.
Carr as president, and then no city
in tbe State will have rnwe banking
facilities than Duihain. A savings
bank is also needed.
, The state- of morals in fashionable
society at tho North is sadiy iliustra-
tea in tne reception accorded to tbe
Duke yf Marlborough. This speci-
men of the Enerlish nobilitv is one of
the most notoriously immoral char
acters of the present day. He nas
. figured, very conspicuously in set eral
divorce cases in the English courts,
and is such a man that should not
be tolerated in decent society. Afd
yet be is 1S0W on a visit to the United
. taei and is meeting with quite an
ovation from the wealthiest andxeost
.fitylish members of Northern society.
. .TSfele re-no more fashionable sura
lnerresf rt in America than" Newport,
Rhode Island, and so this Duke has
visited that place and has been feast
ed and toasted by the elite of tbe
summer visitors, ant? made quite a
"lion"". Entertainments have been
. given in his honor, and beautiful
' belles have smiled updn" Sim v?itb
tbeir sweetest smiles. What a sad
commentary upon Northern society 1
An election was held in Ifarnett
' county, on the 25th of August, upon
' tbe proposition to levy a special
,5Dunty tax" forv edging'' the 5(ft3?t
house and' jail and the proposition
-;;was overwhelmingly defeated! At
the late terorqf :the superior conrfr
ot that county the presiding Judge,
in hi9 charge to Hre grand jury, said
that every man in the county ocgh't

dition of the court-house and jail.
But this see'ms t5 hfrve bad' no effect

accounts which has now been order

Treasury, will uncover many, dis
creweucies. Enough is already known
to warrant the staiemenl that imny of
the paymasters whoe bonds expired
in 1883 and 1884 and earlier years
are short in their accounts with the
Government. The responsibility for
ihis rtate of affairs lies not so much
wHh the Pa masters themselves as
with (he accounting officials of the
Republican regime.
Speaker (Carlisle's presence in the
city always attracts a large measure
of public attentiou, and much com
ment is indulged in as to whether or
not sonic important political move is
on the tapis, when he visits the city
at such an unseasonable time; but
the distinguished statesman emphat
ically disclaims auy 6uch purpose
and positively declares his ignorance
of the so called Democratic confer
ence to . which the press bus given
j such wide publicity stating that he
j w only here to look after the affairs
I of his constituents before the diner-
ent Deportments.
Senator Butler, of Sotf h Carolina
i has become a zealous convert to rail
j road supervision through a hhakiug
up that h revived in a recent wreck
on a Virginia road, and he announces
that he will oiler an amendment to
the law, looking to the protection of
passengers and prori.ling.reasouable
hours of work for the trainsmen.
the committee of which he is chair-
mau, is awaiting the completion of
the reports of the chiefs of tiie sever
al btrreatts as to the methods of con
ducting" business in the -different
Departments, in response to resolu
tion of the last Congress. Those re
ports are very voluminous, and if the
eo;nmittee read and mwaraly digest t
them, it ill be a long aud laborious
task. The reports will be especially
useful for reference, in showing how
the vast aud varied business of this
great Governmeut is couducted aud
will be an interesting study as well,
though I opine the covert purpose
of the Senatorial investigation was to
manufacture a little political capital
in behalf of the Republicans.
President Cleveland expresses his
intention to spend the next few weeks
quietly as his vacation time, at Oak
View, and he will not feel under ob-
ligations to come to the White House
except on public business that de
tnanas his attention
The few Democratic, clerks in the
Wtfr Department complain that there
is a Republican ring in the office
which so manipulates the civil-service
examinations that so Democrat
has a chance of promotion; it is said
that not one has been promoted
there.
Acting Secretary Muldrow has hon
ored the profession of journalism by
promoting to the Acting Chiaf Clerk
of the Interior Department, Maj. S.
A. Jones, for twenty-three years edi
tor of the Aberdeen, Miss, Examiner,
and for some years confidential clerk
of Secretary Lamar.- Maj Jones,
will bring to his new position the
same devotion to duty aud earnest
nesB that won for him such distinct
ion in newspaper work, and few men
in the Government service are better
equipped for the place; the employees
of the office express the hope that
his temporary appointment will be
made permanent. It is really re
freshing, after waiting so many years
to see a true-blue Democrat in this
posi&on. He is the nrsft democratic
clerk s&ce tiie days of Abraham
Lincoln.

A Word to Our Farmers.
From tbo Ashetfll ClUfm.
fihe season rapidly approaches
when the soil should be carefully
prepared for grain and grass sowing
One trouble with many of our farm
ers is they do not prepare the soil
soon enough in the fall for their
grain, and of course do not sow the
grain as early as is best If the
laud be properly prepared, the ear
lier the sowing is done the better
and stronger the stand will be by
cold weather, and it is not so liable
tu injury by freezing. We hope the
good crops of this year inaj' no;
caue any of our faru.ers to neglect
preparations for next year's crops,
these should the more en con rage all
to provide for larger grass and clover
crops. Our people can not raise too
much grass. In the raising, they are
not only adding to t heir money re
sources, but benefitting tbi-r laud.

Fined $10 for Kissing.
From tbe Newton Eaterpric.
Quito an unusual spectacle was
witnessed by about one hundred and
fifty people at Catawba Station a few
days ago. The citizens had gathered
about the depot, some to go on the
excursion to Asheville, aud others,
both ladies and gentlemen through
curiosity. Among the crowd was a
negro woman named Ann Cansler.
who was under the influence of whis
key. She proposed to a young white
man to give him a gold ring which
she wore valued at $12.50. if he would
kist- her in the presence ot the crowd.
The young mau who was also '"how
come-you-so" accepted the proposi
timi, called up the audience and be
gan the performance. They embrac
ed each other as if the lost had been
found. The negro woman then turn
ed td some Udirs who were standing
off some distance aud said: 'Now I
reckon you see that the white, boys
will kiss v.a colored girls." About
this time tb fiord Miybr appeared
on the scene and invited the kissers'
to visit his office. Before they were
allowed to go free they were required
to pay into the town treasury $10
each, for we suppose, their "indecent
exposure, atter wbich neither wa
able,-financially, to make the trip on
me excursion.
