C, SATURDAY, APRIL 6, 1889. $5.00 PER ANNUM. It is gratifying news we have that Miss Mary Anderson has sufficiently recovered to sail for Europe. We hope she wilf soon recover her health entirely. Durham seems ,tobe very fertile soil for the growth of missionaries to the far off heathen. A little more Christian work among heathens near home would not be amiss.

It is reported that Henry M. Stanly and Emin Pasha were seen in February matching toward Zanze- bar with a force of several thousand people carrying six thousand tusks of ivory. Mrs. Shaw, the great whistling artist, says she has never wet her wdistle with anything stronger than water. Very few of the people who have less artistic whistles than she can say the same. J Prince Bismarck, itis said, is very' anxious to know the extent of our naval loss at Samoa. We suppose he wants to know how much bluster he can put on us. - We are not too badly crippled to defend our honor tnd protect ourselves. Democrats of North Carolina, be gin at once to organize for 1892. Wilmington Star. Yes, begin at once; it is not a bit too soon. If we are to win in 1892 it must be after a desper ate fight with the odds of our oppo nents being in power against us. The Mecklenburg Times charges the Charlotte Democrat with being a convert to Henry George-ism. When that principle is put in force in North Carolina we may as well give up and let the State go to the dogs at once instead of trying to make its journey in that direction a slow one. John Bright was the strongest in fluence that held the Torries. and Union-Liberalists together. The question of succesorehip to his seat has caused quite a split between these parties at Birmingham. This may be the beginning of the end of the alliance which now controls the government. New Berne j had quite a big fire Thursday morning. A dry kiln containing 250,000 feet of lumber was burned. The loss will approxi mat & 10.000. At one time the dwellings of Gen. Ransom and Isaac Patterson were in danger, but these were saved and the fire prevented from a Dreading by the fine work of urn the fire department. It has been well said that the word "alms" has no singular, in or der to teach us that one single act of charity in a life-time, no matter how good, scarcely deserves the name. To render our chanties avail able they must be in the plural nura ber. The real charitable heart feels and knows this, and acts upon it without any promptings of the mind. In the Rhode Island election the other day the Democrats elected the Attorney General, the only State officer who recei ved a majority of the votes cast, which is necessary to an election in that State.

The Reading Circle had a largely attended and very pleasant -meeting ast nignt. j That was a cold streak that struck us this morning. Whv didn't Greely let us know it was coming? The Durham Light Infantry has decided to attend the Guilford Battle-Ground celebration on the 4th of May. See advertisement of C. 0. P. Cotton Seed Lard, for which Mr. W. J. Gnswold is wholesale agent for Durham. A number of colored exodusters from the Raleigh section passed through here yesterday afternoon on the 6 o'clock train. Second quarterly meeting at Trinity Church to-morrow, Rev. J. T.Harris, Presiding Elder, officia ting. Communion at morning ser vice. ,. Let every business man in town, who has the welfare of Durham at heart, go to the meeting Monday af ternoon, at 4 o'clock, at the rooms of the Commonwealth Club. 1 A good time for a medley upon 'The Flowers, that Bloom' in the Spring," "The Beautiful Snow," "Winter Lingers in the Lap of oi 1.1 i t . spring, ana tne use. i Ihe witness in the slander suit who Was arraigned before Justice Vickers, yesterday afternoon, upon the charge of perjury, was discharged, after investigation of the complaint Just as we predicted.

Read the new advertisement of that staunch and thoroughly relia ble institution, The First National Bank of Durham, which gives de positors security to the j amount o two hundred thousand dollars. - Attention is directed to the ad vertisement of Maj. W. A. Guthrie, attorney, announcing that the rest dence of Mr. Frank P. Puryear, near the eastern corporate limits, will be sold at auction on Tuesday, May 7th, at the courthouse door. Good.

Durham Lodge, K. of P., will pay a fraternal visit to Centre Lodge, of Raleigh, on Monday evening. The Knights will leave here on a special train soon after the arrival of the 6 o'clock train from the east and will return that night. A very pleasant occasion is anticipated. : Here's a State of Things. We are told that the pipes in the new Courthouse that were intended to convey foul gases from the sinks' through the roof, do not go througr. the roof at all but stop under the roof and that there the foul stench will accumulate until the attic is full and that then it will be forced into the building through the venti lators. This matter should be in vestigated at once and, if true, the party who would thus neglect such important work should be severely censured. .; 'I Special Thanksgiving. The President recommends special thanksgiving services throughout the country upon the centennial anni-; versary of Washington's ! inaugura tion, April 30th, and enjoins the people, at 9 o'clock of that day, to "repair to their respective places of divine worship, to implore the favor of God that liberty, prosperity and peace may abide with us as a' people, and that His hand may lead us in the paths of righteousness and good deeds." S We hope the President's recom mendation will be duly observed in Durham and elsewhere. Plant Photographs, j j Rev. C. C. Newton went down the road to-day. Col. E. J.

Be Sure To Go. i We hope the effort to organize the business men into an association for the promotion of the material inter ests of Durham will prove successful A great deal may be j accomplished in this way that we cannot hope to secure in any other way. Co opera lion, is a power and it should be earn estly used. We would be glad to have foreign capital invested among us and our doors are wide open to all good citizens to cast their lot among us and help us to push things along.; While this is true, it will not: do to depend upon: foreign capi tal.; Indeed, foreign capital is more apt to seek localities 1 1 where home capital is actively at work. Let us remember the old agricultural maxim. ' "He who by the plow would thrive, Himself must either hold or drive," This idea may be applied with equal lorce to liiuivKiuais and to com munities. Let U3 make! the applica tion to ourselves and determine that we will put our shoulders to the wheel and do our part in advancing the welfare of Durham. Go to the meeting at the rooms of the Common wealth Club, next Monday afternoon at .4 o'clock, and enter heartily into the movement that is now on foot. looks as i From Lyudover. Editors Plant : It summer is here. Farmers have done but little work, although it has been a good winter for work. : Wheat and oats look fine for the season. I think there is good prospect for a large crop of corn this year. The farmers are nearly all out of corn now. This is enough to make them plant a larger crop than ever has been planted. They will look to their own interest if they will raise enough for their own use and J not j have to buy it. There are many families in suffering circumstances in this sec tion and unless they get help, I do not . know what they will do Farmers, plant large crops of corn and try not to be in this fix next spring. The Lynchburg & Durham sur veyors are here straightening up the line. e have been looking forward to the time when this road will be finished and hope soon to see it com pleted, with a depot ati this place. It would be a great benefit to this section in bringing provisions nearer to us. The Plant is one week old when it reaches this omce. on account o only one mail a week, when we ought to have mails three times week. Hope this will be changed soon in some way. W. M. B. Lyndover, N. C. April 3, 1889 Importance of Organization, We make the following extracts rom Mr. H. N. Snow's paper on "How to Extend the Innueuce of the State Sunday School Convention, 'r read before the late Convention at Charlotte, as reported by the Chron icle :" . T .1 "The importance of thorough or ganization cannot be over estimated, and thorough organization means township as well as county and State organization, i Holding the County Convention only, does not reach the county, anymore than holding the State Convention reaches jthe State. Thorough organization has not been attained until systematic house to house visitation throughout every ownship of the entire State each year has been inaugurated, and the nfluence of the State Convention has not been extended to its mimimum imit until such organization is ac- complished". ; "As a step towards extending the influence of the State Convention I would suggest that! the State Con vention be held later in the year, for the reason that there are many -1 may say a large majority of the country schools that do not hold their sessions in the; winter months, and therefore cannot make correct reports of their operations, at tht time the convention is held. 1 would suggest that iwe endeavor to hold conventions in every township during the months of July and August: (township conventions held every three months would be j. capital thing) ; that we hold Count Conventions in. September, and the State Convention in October. ' "We can extend the influence ol the State Convention by causing em uiation among trie worsers oi me several counties. We can designate as banner counties those counties which have held a county conven tion during the year, and a conven tion in each township, (except in cases where two townships are com bined for this purpose) and that the county shall not have suffered a loss in the per centage that the Sunday school membership bears to the en rollment for the public schools. This, it is believed, will stimulate the Workers and 'result! in increase of numbers attending the Sunday school. The emulation between the workers of different counties can be stimulated by inducing them to pre pare maps of their several counties, upon which shall be noted the loca tion and denomination, ot each school, thus showing where the 'dark corners," if any exist, are sit uated, and these maps will mutely and yet loudly, appeal to the mis sionary spirit of the workers of those counties, to supply those "dark corners" with the needed facilities for Bible instruction. In like man ner a State map should be made and added to, year by year, as our or ganization is perfected. "As another means of extending the influence of the I State Conven tion, I offer the following recom mendations for the action of this Convention: That we elect a dis trict President for each of the twelve judicial districts of the State, who shall be a resident of the district for which elected, and w'hose duty it shall be to organize the counties composing his districts, attend their conventions, and urge Toward al phases of the wOrk'by all means in nis power. "Arrange the County Conventions consecutively, and let the district president, or other officers, attend all, or employ a competent instruc tor from abroad to attend the entire service, but it is best by all means to stimulate home talent where it is available. "Create and stimulate a distric sentiment. Let 'my district map be conspicuous in State Conventions, 'our' delegation the largest 'our' re ports show the greatest results 'my district the banner district ot the State. 1 would further recom mend at each annual State Conven tion the time and place for holding the next State Convention be ar ranged for and announced. Then publish the same on letter headings and envelopes for correspondence o Convention officers, in the Sunday School papers and magazines throughout the tate. The Execu- lina oKnnM ormn.rP fnr BllltflKlf mil ' sic for the Convention. Much of he interest of the Convention will depend on the music. "In closing I wish to emnhasize he importance of nrrnn mri or fnr louse to house visitation throughout he State for the purpose of sveur- ng new scholars for established schools and of organizing schools when needed."
