Senator John Sherman is going to Europe, We hope he will stay a long, long time. The sunshine of the last two days has been most welcome after the ugly, dirty weather of the past week. The passenger depot of the Atlan tic it North Carolina Railroad at New Berne was destroyed by fire a day or two ago. ' Corporal Tanner now uses the telegraph lines for dismissing Dem ocrats in his department. The mails are too slow for him. A syndicate has just bought up the stock of all the Atlanta street car lines at a cost of $435,000, and formed them into one company. The P rogressive Farmer informs us that it will require fifty thousand baskets to market the grape crop of ake county, to say nothing of the other fruits. FT i r t . ' iHE "lour hundred are now atraid they can't get "enough blue blood dancers at the centennial ball jn New York to make it a success. What a calamity. ; e hope the Farmers' Alliance Wlll at an early day take active measures to circumvent the jute baggmg trust in their designs upon tne next cotton crop. Thk London Times has not got through with the Parnell matter by a good deal. That gentleman has ed the paper for libel, putting his uamages at 100,000.! w - : -o news yet from the crew and Passengers of. the ill-fated Danmark. rhere can hardlv beanv doubt now aWit their fate. Nearly .seven hun- yred people in one watery grave 'fis horrible to think of. Kefore leaving London Sir Julian iuneeforte was presented with S11ver inkstand by the employes for merly under him. It is to be" hoped "in use it while in Washington. ,ua more discretiou than his pre decessor. ! v mother Shephard, of the New ! 1 trk Mail and Express, has turned nis attention from the South to fight- l noaest administration of city af- 'm. New York. He is out and u m favor of Gould possessing the "uuie citv. The News& Observer of yesterday, says: "The Atlantic Hotel, it is un derstood, will be run by the syndi cate owning it this season, and a competent manager will be put in charge. It will be conducted in first-class style." The Richmond and Alleghany R. R. has been purchased by the Ches- apeak & Ohio road, and becomes a part of that system. This we sup pose will be of advantage to us in our Lynchburg connections when our road to that city is completed. TrtE United States Superior Court has made the decision that beans are vegetables. Thi3 is humiliating o Bostonians, who have all along been under the lmnression that i 'Baked Beans" was an ambrosial dish first prepared for the feasts of he Gods on Mount Olympus. In our penitentiary there are thir ty-five convicts under fifteen years of age, and three hundred and sixty- five between that age and twenty. Had all these boys been taught to use their hands in some useful oc cupation few of them would have bund their way into this prison. Another Belshazzar's feast was held in Philadelphia, on Wednesday night, when the Manufacturer's Club, of that city, gave a dinner to John Wanamaker. The affair was in the nature of a celebration won bv money and privilege over the people at the election in November, and of the triumph of Mr. Wanamaker, who was the respectable go-between for the plutocrats on that occasion. Chicaao Herald. The Salisbury Watchman appar ently drives a coach and five through the sheep husbandry bill of the last Legislature with great success. It mi t i 1 T ' 1 j says: ine act oi me legislature which provides that a man whose A. sheep are killed by dogs may re cover the value of his loss by war rant before a magistrate, is a feeble effort to encourage sheep husbandry. Suppose the owner of the dog has nothing, then what? And much the larger part of the dogs are owned by people in this condition." TOWN TALK. Good Friday. Big break of .tobacco again to day. Meeting of the Good Templars to-night. Durham Encampment, No. 24, meets to-night. Magruder's $3.00 shoe is kept by Capt. J. F. Freeland. Have vou tried Vaughan's Creme de la Creme ?

C, FRIDAY, APRIL 19, 1889. The Durham ice factory shipped a car load of ice to Henderson this morning, over the D. & N. This was shipment No. 1. May manv others follow in rapid sucession. There will be a ca'led meetingof he W. C. T. U. to-morrow afternoon, nthe Y. M. C. A. parlor, at "3 o'clock. Important business to be ransacted. Let every member be present. Constable Adcock, of Flat River, brought to jail last night a negro boy, about 17 years of age, named Ben Green, who had been bound over to Court for beating his mother with a stick. Two horses, attached to a wagon, took a notion to try their speed this afternoon and, starting in front of Johnson's drug store, captured the right oi way up Main street and made the wheels fairly hum. The driver held his place and finally brought them'to a halt beyond Five? Points, Postponed. On account of unavoidable cir cumstances, the reading of Mrs. Anna Randall Diehl, announced for Monday night next, has been post poned. We hone to be able to dve the definite date in a few days. Holiday. The Graded School Faculty sent oy to the hearts of the little folks to day, when they announced there would be no session of the school on Easter Monday. This festival is more generally observed in Durham han in many places, and not to have holiday on Easter Monday would bea great calamity in the esti mation of the young people. We com mend the committee and the teachers for their consideration of the chil drens' wishes. We presume the other schools of the town will also sus pend Monday's session. Another Convention. All who know a snake when they see ms tan win recognize an anti dodge in the call, which we publish elsewhere, for a convention on Tues day night, to nominate candidates for Mayor and Commissioners. As local option is to be the issue, let's have a fair, square, open contest, and no dodging. And then let the defeated side, whichever it may be. accept the result gracefully. I he local optionists have already placed their ticket in the field and it cannot be denied that the person nel of the ticket is an assurance that all the interests of the town will be carefully guarded under their ad: ministration. e can t speafc as positively of the forthcoming ticket. as we do not know who will com pose it, but we presume that gentle men desiring the welfare of the town will be also be nominated upon that ticket. It is expected that at least a majority of the new ticket will be opposed to local option. Right here is the bone of contention. It will hardly be disputed that local option in Durham will be more rigidly en forced if all the officers of the town are in svmpathy with the law and are heartily in favor ot its enforce ment. Hence, the local optionists have nominated for their candidates good citizens, with prohibition sen timents. The objection to this ticket is based mainly upon the fact that it is composed ot prohibitionists. Therefore, local option is the issue whether it is met openly by the op ponents or not. An important is sue it is, too. The prohibitionists view the question Irom a mora standpoint. They believe the sale of whiskey, with its attepding dire ful consequences, is a great evil and they conceive it to be their duty to exercise thex ballot, the freeman most potent weapon, to suppress this evil when they are called upon to answer the question whether there shall be "License" or "No License." Then, if it is right to have a law pro- hibitmg the sale oi liquor, his ngu fn havA th law enforced and to have the lawless, who flagrantly vi olate it, punished. Consequently, i behooves everv man who is in sym pathy with the law to work earnestly for the election of officers who will be dilligent in their efforts to enforce it As we have said beiore, mis wn be most effectually accomplished by officers who are in favor ot tne law Plant Photographs.

C. railroad." Appreciated Words. From Bro. Manning's interesting report of that visit to Henderson, which was so greatly enjoyed by the Durham lobacco Board ol Irade, we make the following extracts and express the hope that the friendly relations existing between our big tobacco towns may grow stronger and jstronger with coming time : ; "lhe uoia L,eat need not assure the people of Durham that the warmest sentiments of friendship have ever existed between that town and Henderson the two leadingjto- bacco markets of North Carolina and now since.we are bound together by ties of steel connected as we are directly by rail our relations are still more sympathetic. Allied! as we are in every principle thatshould bind two prosperous communities together, our interests are common, and the welfare of one should be the welfare of the other. And that a freer intercourse as it shall exist in future will be mutually beneficial to both markets, we have no doubt.) "In rst cousins as we have hereto fore been, twin sisters as we may justly claim to be. And Henderson esteems it no small privilege tojbe dravvn nearer and brought thus into more intimate relations and closer business with Durham. While we cannot boast as bull-y a town, and such gigantic manufacturing enter prises, and as varied industries stimulated and energized as iwe doubtless will be by the worthy ex ample of such people, we hope Durham a time coming when Hen derson will be in every way a fi nrntotvne of her worthy and more pretentious sister, equally as pros perous, without detracting from her, I and as well advertised and as widely known. "She has her Carrs, her Black wells, her Dukes, her Parrishes, her Lockharts and others, and last but not least, lief Dnrhnm Bull nnrl hpr excellent- newsbaners. and from tharr, ,nA anrn Ua ... , ocv.lct n.iUli,B iul ucwujjiuicuk oi great- ana prosperous ana woria renowned business enterprises as practiced by these go-ahead people. Aye, and we would learn more : The spirit of co operation, in the won derful growth and prosperity of their town. Perhaps no people display this great essential element of unity of purpose co-operative effort more fully than those of Durham. But the Gold Leaf gives them fair warning : look well to your laurels : we are learning, and we are coming. "Mr. Henry paid a magnificent tribute to the press, and portrayed in glowing colors the power exer cised by this mighty engine when intelligently conducted, referring to it as the great tribune of the people. the sentinel upon the watch-tower in protecting their rights and foster ing their interests. The influence of the press and its power for good is not always understood and appre ciated, at its lull value. And here without calling any names, he paid a nigh compliment to the newspa pers ot Durham and Henderson and spoka, in terms of praige and com mendation ot the excellent and el ective work they have done for their respective towns The news papers, and the railroads, he said, go nana in nana. . nnout tne one the other could accomplish but little, and without both no community can attain to realgreatness and pros perity, lhe Gold Leaf thanks Mr- Henry lorj his manly and graceful words in behalf of the press. They wereaiike ; worth v of the subject and creditable to the speaker." A Call for a Convention. To the Citizens of Durham: . All citizens of the town of Durham, irrespective of their views on local option, who desire the enforcement of all laws -equally and fairly, who desire that justice shall be calmly and impartially meted put to alj who favor a progressive policy on the part of the town crovernment. and who favor a town government that will-courageously defend and carefully guard the interest of public concern, are earnestly requested to assemble in Stokes Hall, 1 uesday &JXl3kZ and Board of Commissioners for the town.
