a: .Ai Explanation..., . "Beliering that the outlook for two V iailj papers in Durham was not as bright as we wished, a proposition " .ws'made to Mr. J. S. Carr pro , pneW of the Daily Plant to pay ,J Mm sV, much if, he would discon , Itinue the, publication of ; his Daily " or we would discontinue our Daily if he would pay the price asked. , He accepted the latter proposition,hence taUywiiV 1m i the Jast issue of our f . Daily . J On March the 27th, 1888, we issued our first Daily Recorder and since that time the patronage has" been all that we could ask at ' the hands of the good people of Dur ham. Last feept we found that the demands upon our advertising space i was so great that we were forced to 'enlarge the Duly, making it the largesluurenint; paper in the State, i and as large as any morning Daily. It has always and will continue to be Oar aim to publish a paper that will "be of some benefit to . Durham and her enterprising citizens. We will ; in the future' "Concentrate our en- , ergies on;theWitKLY Ricordkr, TThe Southirjt Tobacconist axd Uasttactcrzrs Record, belieTing ' ' that we can accomplish as much for . our city with these two papers as we did with the Daily and the two Weeklies. In ceasing our daily 'tf VIGif a VaIuu A ooOnMAn lviAn)a lit at whil,we cannot see them but once v a week, we hope to make up in the i ?: m nf f nm : f-tiat efiaft ' anTutaw ?w ah- Weeiiiks. ' We trust that a liberal ""patronage will be given our esteemed contemporary the Daily Plant and . that the brightest dreams of its 1 'liberal owner. Mr. J.8. Carr, will be .' fullj realized. - looii 1889. ; .- ... 1. -. .. , . uutiuuig wikuiu lae nrss gray r Lawa of a new year, the imagination naturally rises above the prosaics of mere fact; and in contemplation of the hoar, wreathes garlands of im mortelles to the memory of the year departed, whilst culling the brightes1. 'flowers from the garden of flop ' with which to embellish the coming of the new. Some there are who can in fancy see the hoary and wrinkled form of 1833 laid out in ' state Jbpon , snow-clad bier draped in somebre hues which are relieved only by the dim rays of its last fad- j ing sunbeams; while, by its side, in all the glory of effulgent brightness, entwined with evergreens and cir clets of fresh beauty, is the cradle of 1889. i In the one they see noth ing but gloom and decay; in the other they see all that fond antici pation can desire. Vet we are on willing to bury the old year in ob livion, or to ascribe to the new any meed of praise or pre-eminence above that to which its predecessors are v. - entitled. We would sot forget the friendships formed, the pleasant hours and the happy recollections that date in 1888. , We cannot for get the rich blessings Heaven sent us that year; nor will affertion ever be truant to the memory of dear oues whom Fate took from us then, leav ing ns only their departure to bewail, n their: virtues to emulate and their graves to visit Thousands of hearts wi 1 often revert in tenderness and lore to the ld , year; for while it mVy iavs brought grief and pain to some,' it also taught them that Time is but the servant of God, and He .' doeta all things well and for the , -: best What joy or sorrow the new year may yet bring "to humanity none can tell; yet it should be boras in aind that as thorns and flowers grew npon the same stem, so do tribulation and happiness combine to perfect the lives of men. On the threshold of a new year, it may be well to discard all of oar . hopeless regrets, as far as possible. j and not allow them to clog our en- 1 ergies or mar our happiness in the future. If mistakes have been made, their recurrence can be guard ed againstand possibly avoided. If we have watted time or selected op- portoatf, it should U remembered that there is a future of promise for every ot;e who has the virtue to re pent and Che" manhood to atone. Let your riwClo HeWj f Krer despairf H Righl bt ypnri aimand Truth yoir guide. Tarn your back upon the grave of shattered idols and bu ried hopes; wipe the ashes of "Dead Sea fruit1' from your lips; start anew upon the journey of life, and reso lutely march onward to an honor able success. Let there be "no such word as fair in your vocabulary, and let there be no wavering " or halting in your movement ; Refer to the errors and disappointments of the past only to profit by the lessons learned in the school of ex perience; and when the victory has been won, from the pinnacle of suc cess you can look back to those pits and quagmires in which last year you floundered, only to see that their power and haunting influence was mainly imaginary. ! ; Railroad Building. Ihere were 7,120 miles of railroad track laid in the United States in theyear 18S8. In 1837 there were 13,000; in 1886 there were 9,000; in 1882 there were 11.500; in 1881 there were 0,- 700. .With the exception of the years named, the record of the year just ended exceeds all except the year 1871, when 7,370 miles ' were built . , As the Lynchbnrg Virginian says, thia is a railroad-building country in which the wide-awake people live and move, and the old fogies who stick to horseback, and stags-coaches must get oft the tuck when they hear the locomotive blow. J , MaMM -MMM BwaaaBai 'jL''" The question of havingTrinity College moved from Trinity to Ral eigh is being considered by the peo ple of the latter place. The Wil mington Star thinks such a move would give Trinity a boost such as it never had The Star's belief has long been to build colleges at the central points and put church build ings on the most conspicuous thoroughfares. In connection with these ideas the Star says, as a friend of Trinity, it would like to see it moved to Ureensboro, Durham or Raleigh, preferring . Raleigh. So far as Durham i is concerned, we would like' to see it brought to Dur ham. Our people would give it a warm welcome. If the proper effort is made we believe it could be in duced to come here. We leave the matter in the hands of our Methodist friends. If they want it nere it is our opinion tnst our peo ple will otiite'with them in establish ing such an institution in Durham and will be liberal in their efforts. i ne recorder would like to see Trinity College moved to Durham.

" New YtRK, December 21-Tbe Herald's .Indianapolis, special , says: A rumor baa crept oat there that an attempt upon the life of General Harrison- war, made one day last week." The facts, so far at they can be stated, are that a close friend of the Harmon family told the story to a confidential friend. It was to the effeot that a well laid plot to take the life of General Harrison was ar tanged by a gang of bloodthirsty Til liana, and that an attempt to execute their dastardly design was made one day last wetk, but that the ; scheme was discovered by one of Harrison's nearest friends and thwarU d. ; Gen eral Harrison and bis family inteud ed that the matter thoafd never bo made piiblicu .The one r two per sons who have been entrusted with the tact still decline to give any de tails, and it is only possible to give this mere statement at this time. The Herald's correspondent adds: Of course the publication will lead to a thorough investigation of the affair, and a determined effort will be made to bring the would be assassins to Justice.". .. r . , A Burglar Killed. , Cbututt jCaroalda. , Oo Christmas mornine. at 4 o'clock, M. , M.
