We are now in the golden dawn of a new year; a year full of hope aud promise, and the Recordek wishes every reader and patron may be at tended with the richest blessings of health, prosperity and happiness. The year 1889 is an untried year and we can onty await its events as they unfold day by day, ever doing our duty in the living present The year 18SS, for the world at large, has not been characterized by wars or floods or great disasters or other calamities. Death has shot at fewer shining marks than usual. The Southern epidemic was the only one which seriously afflicted the earth, and that was confined to a limited section of the country. Of panics, we have had none; though, on the other hand, we sannot, un happily, rejoice over very great pros perity. It has been simply a dull and stupid year. The political issues kept business men in doubt and inactivity for the greater part of the year, and the de cision at the election on the chief issue which directly affected man ufactures was not positive enough to settle promptly the prevailing hesi tation. In business the year may be said to have been exceptionally dull.' Politically it was a very bad year for the Democratic party. There is no question of that Fouryears ago it had apparently come into power for a long lease. Unhappily, its principles were not boldly maintain ed; its traditional policy was violated in many ways, ana it was really not the old party, but a semblance of it, which took possession of the Gener al Government Some of the prin ciples which were essential to its continued success were abandoned at the instigation of a minority of the opposing party which was sup posed to have aided in electing Mr Cleveland. The Mugwumps were not numerous; they had aided us less " from love of the Democratic candi date than from discontent with that of their own party; and this year many of them drifted back to their own ranks to aid a more deserving candidate than they thought Blaine was. The Mugwumps were over estimated in the strength of their numbers and their influence. Al together it was a bad year politically. we don t enjoy recalling it Coming near Lame 1SSS will long be remembered as an eventful one in the history of plucky Darbam. It witnessed the opening of a new rail road and vigorous work upon two others which are to centre here; one of the grandest and most successful Expositions ever held in the State; an unprecedented religious awaken ing, under the administration of fiev. Sam Jones; stirring political events, in which Durham county reversed her political complexion and took her place in the Democratic column; and then a huge financial cracb, greater than heretofore known in one town in the history of the State, which exhibited the pluck and penwTvance of our people which caused our people to stop and take breath for a short w bile. These are tlietnoai important event in the past year of Durham s hwtory and will bot soon be forgotten. There m bo cause for croaking, re pining and gloomy forebordings. If such a course is pursued 1SS9 will have many dark days for those who thus look altogether at the gloomy side of life's stern duties. There it a duty for each one to perform every day in this year of grace. Let us do it with stout heart for every fate, looking not mournfully into the past, but wisely improving the present Briefly Recorded in W ulcli there May be one or interest to You. The Dauville limlUr records the death of William Jones, a wor'hy colored man, near Ringgold during Christmas week It is alleged that be was 125 years of age and that bis wire who survives uiin is hale aid heartv at 98. and sews bv a li&htwood fire without the aid of spec'acles. Mrs. Mario Louise Dentn in, wife of Frederick Denman, died in Jack sonville, Fla.. Deo., 25th, leaving a devoted husband and two bright and interestng cLildren. She was twenty- two years ot age. Mrs. Denman was a daughter or Uol. w. H. lsaiie?, of Chariotte, and had a wlda circle of friends in this State, V k very slllv grl 1 ves in Ro moke, Ta She is 10 years of age and her numb in Amelia Lovette. She at tempted suicide Sunday night by shooting herself, and giving as an excuse for the' let that she was in sulted by ladies on the street The wound is a very serious one, and it is s ad she may recover. The Wilmington Star it our au thority for stating that during 188, in North Carolina there were 2 agri cultural implement works built; there were 6 breweries erected; 9 tobacco and cigar factories; 41 cotton and oolen factories; 8 electric light plants; 12 mining and quarrying companies; A oil mills; 4o water works: o lailroad conpames organix- d. This is commendable and en couraging progress. Miss Carrie Isler, of Jones county, while horseback riding in Kinaton last Thursday morning, came very near meeting with a serious acjideut. Her borie became frightened and ran away at full speed. In turning a corner Miss Isler fell, but was very Eroroptly caught by her escort, Mr. .icharJ B. West, who was riding close at hand. She wa carried iuto Hotel l ull and received kindly at en tion. No damvge except fright. V A Charlotte company of amateurs, composed of young ladies and geutlf men or exceptionally fine talent. played "E ther" inWilmngton one mgbt last week and captivated tne "City by the Sea." The Wilmington papers are full of praises as to tb- beauty of the young ladies and tue Ine tul-nt composing the company. There is a little lady at our elbow as we write one to whom we reel very deeply attachedand we know 'she will join us in saying that the yoan ladies in the Charlotte arnatenr com pany are bird tr beat in point ot beauty. Charlotte is lull of juet such beautiful girl', and they are just a sweet, and intelligent, and industrt ous, and companion ible as you will find anywhere. The manufacturers Record, ot Baltimore, in its annual review of the South's industrial development, thows that the capital represented or new mining and manufacturing enter prises organized in 1888, was I1G8, 800,000, diviled as follows: Ala- bama. $29,413,000; Kentucky. $28. 800.0Q0, Texas. $17,654.000 ; Georgia, 114.205,000; Virginia, $12,774,000; Tennessee. flljyj.OOO; Maryland, fl0.C70.000; West Virginia, 110.114, 000; Arkansas. $8,483,000; North Carolina, $7,359,000; South Carolina, $4,813,000; Florida, $4,731,000; Mississippi, $1,968,000. It will be seen from this report that North drolina makes a very ced.table showing; yet there are some pwons who think the State is rot doing much, bne Is coming out in a wjn derful manner m The Clinton Oaucanian says the Legislature could not reward a more meritorious Confederate Soldier than J.

At all events the gun was discharged and the older brother received the load and died in two boors from the wound. A SOUTH ERX POCAHONTAS. Dressed lu Male Garments, She IluusAway with a Devoted , White Lover. Columbia. 8. C, Dec. 29 A couple of weeks ago a man aud boy, or persons dn ssed as such, were r- rested m this city. One was white and the other a handsome Indian. It was the appearance of the latter that niousod tho suspicion of the police. If he was a man there had been a mistake made in his build. The pair were taken to the guard. house and the dusky companion of the white man was found to t9 a pretty girl of about tlxtopn years. the couple were well dressed and had some money and the girl was armed with a r vol ver. Neither of them would give any information hs to where thy were fiom or the object of oncealing the girl's sex. Shu pro. fease J to be iguorant of where she was, and . only knew that she ha 1 come from where ' here were many of her oan race living by a "big rivr." Her left arm hal recently been broken at the wrist and was badly kuit to gather. Tuey were held by the police and inquiry uiaile in every direction. but without result. It wai ascer tained that they had ocoupi'd sepa rate ronnu on different fl ore in the lodging house where they Lad stayed before being arrested, and about all ' tbe girl would say was that Jhe wax- not the wife of the white uau. Her name a a raau was Smith. Finally the couple, finding that the police we:e friendly disposed, decided to twl their romantic story. There is in North Catolinn, ne ir Fayetleville. a remnant of the Cherokee tribe, and ' bmith" wits the prettiest girl it the Indir.n se tlfment "Charley," her preut companion, wh belongs to a very respeottble family in that sec tion. fi ll in love with the Indian maiden and sfcf returned his afT etion. Wh.-n Charley fao ily heard of the att cement then was a storm, and the Indians were no better pleas, d with the prop ct of giving their prettiest 11 twer to a white man, particularly as they c uld nH marry in that StaU. It ultimately became so warm for the young man that he thought it best to' leave that actio and rrws this Mate to Georgia, where he hsd relatives. the girl determined to accompany him in the disguise adopted Their money gave out and they bad to walk sometimes along the road. A stick of wood flaw otf a p issiag engine and broke tbe arm of the young woman, who, fearing that ter sex would be discovered, let the woond heal with" oat surged aid. After ttkin.' svme days to substantiate this story, the police have released tha cunle, who expect to be made one soon after crossing into Georgia. Durban! Manufacturers, Unten !

The Direct Tat Hill. ) BU'Wrill Lauduitrc, Much hus been suid in the papn.-s within the i ast year about the "din ct tax bill" which pastied the lower house of Congress recently by a vote of 173 to Do, and yet few, perhaps, unJer stand the character of tho measure. This direct tax a tx on lauded property -was levied under an act f Congress passed in 1861 for raiding money to carry on the civil wr. - The law imposed on tne several states ytarly payments in preportiiu to their population; and alter one pay ment the law was repealed. About $15,000,000 was paid in, and this sum, with 15 per cent, commission, it is proposed by the bill to Mum. The total amount i about $17,000,. 000. of which North Carolina's share is 1386,194. Some of the States made no payment at all, and the proportion assessed agiinst each of these stands charged against it on the Treasury books yet. Th bill, in proposing re payment to those States wlnoh paid, provides forgiveness of tl debt to those which did not pay.'
