HE DAILY V^fORKMAN.
■}. S. MICllAT’X, Local Editor
A paper for all people, but especially
to meet the desire which many are
mown to entertain for a non-political
,heet, the Wokkman will strive to go
nto every house, leaving to other pajlers
the science of politics, giving the news
in brief and holding itself responsible
to the moral sense of the community for
its utterances.
—Reserved seats for the Concert
Thursday evening, at Benbow Hall,
are on sale at Porter & Tateis without
.extra charge.
Fakmers’ Campaign.—We learn.that
Col. L. L. Polk will speak to the farm
ers of Rockingham county at the fol
lowing times and places : Summerfield,
Monday, July 18; Rocky Springs,
Tuesday, July 19; Madison, Wednes
day, July 20; Stoneviile, Thursday,
July 21; Leaksville, Friday, July 25.
Everybody is invited, and don’t forget
to bring the children and young folks,
as well as baskets. Questions of vital
concern to our farmers will be discuss
ed. We bespeak for the Colonel
good crowds.
An Easy Job of Sensation,—The
Richmond Christian Advocate has
published a rumor, which has been
widely copied, that Jeter Phillips,
who was convicted of the murder of
his wife at Richmond, in 1870, and
executed therefor, was afterward re
suscitated and is now alive. Without
stopping to discuss the probabilities
which support the story, we would
remark that nothing would be easier
than to start a story of the kind about
any one who has been hanged, and
to have it repeated until it would be
firmly believed by about one third of
the entire people, at least. To begin
with, this is not only a sensational
age, bi^an ageof trickery .and cor-
T!^/*^ffTT*^great is the t^ubt, in
many cases, of the honesty of the ad
ministrators of the law, that a mere
hint that a certain hangman had been
tampered with and bribed, would
open the. way for the belief of any sto
ry of the resuscitation of a man who
had been hanged and counted dead.
There could be no finer field for oper
ation than this. It would require no
great amount of talent to invent a sto
ry that would take like “wild-fire,”
for many people are naturally inclin
ed to be superstitious, while many
more arc so fond of being humbugged
that they would swallow the largest
sensational story that the ingenuity of
man could invent.
The Durhamites Among Us Yes
terday.—The following are some of
the persons who came up from Dur
ham yesterday on the excursion made
by the Trinity Sunday School: Mess
Julian S. Carr, proprietor of the Dur
ham Tobacco Manufacturing Co., W*
Duke, of the Duke Cigarette Co., E.
J. Parrish, Supt. of Trinity S. S.,
Rev. R. B. Creasy, pastor of Trinity
church, Rev. Gregson, pastor of Main
St. church, Rev. B. R. Hall, pastor
of Carr church, Ballard, Sapt, Main
St. Sunday School, W. H. Branson,
Supt. Carr church Sunday School,
Reed and Snow, of the Durham To
bacco Company, Mrs. Dr. Carr, Mrs.
W. H. Branson, Mrs. Rud, and a
number of others who cannot now be
recalled.
Arrived at the College grounds, a
committee of West Market street and
Centenary chuiches, representing the
officers and teachers of the two Sun
day Schools, made the visitors wel
come, through Mr. C H. Ireland,
who delivered an appropriate address,
and was replied to by Rev. Creasy.
The dinner was elegant, and so abun
dant that many baskets full escaped
unharmed. Several Greensboro folks
had baskets, and there was an inter
change of refreshments and an inter*.
mingling on a most liberal scale.
The young folks spent the time after
dinner in rambles and observations
over our city, while a number of oth
ers remained in the quiet of the Col
lege groye until 5 p. m., when the
line of march was taken up to the
depot.
Then at 5 1-2 the train sped away,
while good byes and come agains
were heartly said, and sincere regrets
that a day of so much real pleasure
must needs end so soon. Nice, or
derly and genteel behavior, are the
words used of our Durham visitors,
with the additiotial statement that
nothing less was expected of Durham’s
Trinity Sunday School, and that they
will be as heartily welcomed on their
next visit.
Commissioners’ Meeting.
The commissioners met in their hall
last night at about 8 o’clock, Mayor
King in the chair, and the following
members present: Schenck, Nelson,
Dodson, Scott, Coffin, Bevill, White,
Odell, Turner, Ellington: absent,
Price and Hawkins. Minutes of last
meeting read and approved. The
committee to confer with Mr. C. F.
Thomas as to- damage to his lot by
running a street through it, reported
that no agreement had been reached,
Mr. Thomas adhering to his original
claim for $400. A resolution was
then adopted to the effect that unless
Mr. Thomas and the committee ap
pointed to. confer with him can agree
to arbitrate the matter of difference,
then that Mr. Thomas be invited to
meet the Board at its session July ist
to select commissioners, as provided
in Section 58 of city charter,
Commissioner Nelson introduced
Hon. D. F. Caldwell as having a mat's
ter of grievance growing out of the
ilocationvpf Schenck street, which he
held was not run by a straight line,
and that it was unfair to himself. It
was urged in reply that Mr. Caldwell
had extended an unrestricted right to
make the street across his lands, that
the committee were not apprised ci
any ot the peculiarities of the situa
tion, and now for the first time learn
ot their existence, a fact which they
regretted, but for which they did not
feel responsible. Mr. Caldwell final
ly said that while his wishes were not
understood and carried out, he could
not go back on his word in the gift of
the street.
Mr. John A. Barringer appeared be
fore the Board as attorney for Mr.
John Barker, who applied for recom
mendation to continue the sale of
spirituous liquors at his old stand
near the court house, arguing at
length in favor of Mr. Barker as a
man, and in favor of his stand as a
suitable place for the retail of liquors.
Mr. Barker presented a recommenda
tion and a numerously signed petition.
It was remarked by a member that it
could not be in order to vote on the
petition in the face of the ordinance
fixing 400 feet as the line of demark-
ation ground public buildings, within
which line no retailing should be
permitted The motion to reject
was carried by a 7 to 3 vote.
A motion was then made for rec
ommendation of same applicant to re
tail in the Bogart building, an^ an
other motion to postpone action on
the same till Friday night. Mr. Bar
ringer asked that the basis of objec
tion be stated, but Judge Schenck
suggested that such information would
be too clearly in the interest of the
party applying for the recommenda
tion, and that moreover it was not
known to the Board collectively what
grounds of objection might arise or
be fniinulated in the further course
ot ihe proceedings. By permission
Mr. Barringer withdrew the petition
for the stand in the Bogart building,
and rested it where first designated—
the Barker building near the court
house.
The committee to look after the
street by Mr. Scott’s residence were
excused for non-action on account
of adverse circumstances.
Committee on tank in S. Greens
boro was not ready to report, and
report of Com^ssioner Turner on
streets deferredJftin that ground.
[The committee was to meet this
morning.]
Mr. Turner ^reported the pur
chase of a scraper for the city.
An informal import was made as
to city engineer, and a discussion
had as to ,the probable utility of
the office to the several branches of
improvement. -Mayor King gave
the Board the information he had
collected as to the cost of an engi
neer's services,j^and said that one
had offered to do the work.needed
by the city for $1,250. The sewer
age question was freely discussed,
and Mr. Dodson insisted on the
paramount importance of protec
tion against fire, and higher still of
good health in the community.
The committee was empowered
to employ an engineer. Three oil
lamps for Norf|||^r6ene street were
ordered. They will be located at
and beyond the old factory.
Mr. N, S. Armfield applied for
recommendation to sell spirits at
Olive Branch Saloon. Petition re
fused. Another petition for Mr.
Armfield at what is known as the
Thomps Garre^; corner was also
refused. Committee on pavements
authorized to send one of their
number to Charlotte to examine
the work of jiacadamizing now
going on in that city.
The question being asked as to
whether certain poor persons, to
save the expensS of hiring another,
should be peraiitted to dig the
graves for th^r own dead, it
was decided in ihe affirmative.
The question as to the proper
depth for graves in the cemetery
being called up, it was decided that
in the case of an adult the dis
tance from the surface to the lid
of the casket ^ould be 3J feet,
and in the case of a child 3 feet.
It was further enacted that in the
preparation for. the burial of any
person in the city cemetery 6 houii
notice be required for the grave
digger.
The clerk read a number of bills
scraper, rock, buckets for the use
of the street force, and lum
ber. On motion adjourned.
Death of Dr. Shipp.—Rev A.
M. Shipp, D. D., whose illness was
noted in yesterday’s Chronicle,
died last Monday night, at Cleve
land Springs, and his body passed
through this city yesterday, on the
Carolina Central road, enroute to
Cheraw, S. G. the home of the de
ceased, for burial. Dr. Shipp was
68 years old, and his death was
the result of a severe attack of
jaundice, from which he had been
suffering for some weeks. He
went to the Springs a few days
ago, in the hope of benefiting his
health, but he was then too much
enfeebled and exhausted to rally.
His wife and son were at his bed
side at the supreme moment of
dissolution when his soul took its
flight.
Dr. Shipp was at one time a
professor in Vanderbilt University,
and was formerly president of
Wofford College. He was well and
favorably known known through^
out the South, and had many
friends in North Carolina who will
regret to learn of bis death.—Char
lotte Chronicle.

HEADACHE.
“I was for many years a perfect
martyr to Headache and Dyspepsia,
and sometimes though it would kill me.
Aftei trying many remedies, and find
ing them of no account, I concluded to
try Simmons Liver Regulator, and I
am now and have been for fifteen years
a stranger to headache, I can recom
mend the Regulator, for it is no hum
bug. B. I. Dodd, Putnam Co., Ga.
