' The fact that Durham' has fallen away down . a a tobacco market is lamentably true. Cit izens of Durham have repatedly written articles on the subject, and warehouse men deplore the fact Accordingly, while towns like Wilson, Iiocky Mount, Greenville, Winston, Henderson, Oxford aud Roxboro are sustaining their mar ket and thousand of dollars are being paid e.icli niontii for tobacco, only hundmls in comparison are being paid out in Durham a great difference now uiid Ave years ago, when the breaks were so heavy that double pales at four ware- louscs would not sell what had brought to town... Where there wert strings of tobacco wag ons now only straggling ones are wen anu iney not numerous. Most every one says the so-called trust is reciKinsiUlo lor it but we do not know wo only know that the tobacco market, so far as Durham is concerted, is not what it should be aud net what it could be if the projier buhineNj methods to reclaim and regain the Held and the trade wcro introduced. Lut the result? Well, Ue re sult is, that as wo have no cotton market aud no other market, there is precious little money being paid out, and cotirapicntly but irwious little circulating luetic a.. .ft . e days. The man who would take out a roll of bills three years ago and come back with a pocket full of greenbacks has not been seen lately. He has gone somewhere else. The 1koi;dkk was talking with several business men the uu4 week and their tale of woe was one that should be beetled. This is what one live business man said: "I will tell you the whole trouble. In Cush times peo ple here net a gait that meant to expend all of their income. Hard times came and when there should have been rigid mumoy it was not practiced. The 'small fellows' wanted to keen ui their ehow wanted to appear to be well-to-do, and the conxojuonce is that they have run in debt wherever their face would stand credit. I could show you names of men 011 my books who owe mo from twenty to thirty dollars and who were once considered good. They kept coining until finally they could not pay my collcclot and then they ': switched off. They went to other firms and are play ing the same game. One of these days they will get to tho end of their string and then I do not know what they will do. If some of the supposedly well-to-do citi- reus Would go from store to store and settle up, as they should but are doubtless unable to do, they would find that several hundred dollars were nccniry to liqui date." And tins merchant is but one . .. . . 1 .... . itl. t !.. one 01 lue several wno wiaeu iu thw strain. It is no dicgrnce to bo oor, but it is not tho square thing to keep running in debt when there is nothing in sight and ik way known to you of how or when you can pay for what you are buying. Hard times should tevh a wholesome lesson, and with many they have.

Stat Treasurer worth says, regarding the non-partiian state silver convention, which meets in Raleigh, September 25. that be believes it will have a large attendance and that he thinks well of it.

I see that Dave Parks is still for a singlef?) standard, but he will join the silver party if he is not careful. Major Graham has a much larger law practice than when I was here, and I am glad to know that he has made a state reputations an able, careful, honest and success ful lawver. After this talk tbe uenerai sub scribed to a couple of copies of the Recorder, and said he would nay in wood. We told him that we wished he would. He said again that he would.
