T. 0. Fuller of thiscity just after he had returned to Raleigh from Dur ham. He had been, inlDurham since Thtmday evening badtalked with all its leading business ran and was and is as thoroughly familiar, we have no doubt with the situitirjn of affairs in our sister city as any loan in North Carolina or e'sewheife. We conversed with him for iom tme and from what he said gathered that one really would not know from e general ap- uenfnuuo o .w"8 u" been any crash any failures, in Dur :ham at all. There is But one spirit in the community ancf that is that the. credit of Durham mst by every means be maintained. There is no doubt about it- All-citizens are act ing together to this n with a vim and. a pluck and energy that are sur p riaing, or would be if it were not Durham that ia displaying the quali ties named. 1 Capt. Parrisb, for jexample, acting for the trustees, is ; gcfing right on with his business as before and as if nothing had happened ! He has 650, 000; pounds of tobac,coi and tobacco of good quality -on hnd. He was carrying that tobacco, ol. Blackwell was carrying him and if-was because the currency coulnn'l ba had to meet the notes representing it that the crash came. ? g Ool. Blackwell bays lie has; just as much pluck and determination to win now as he had when jhej first set out to make his fortune! fie says not many months wiil come and go before he will have a bigger ak in Durham than ever. To use his dwn words, he I is 'in the middle of tie road and means to stay there."! Mr. Oarr was endorser on Black- Swell's paper for $50,0001 He was an endorser to an inconsiderable amount ion .other papers. He Is amply se cured on all of it. Mr, Sumner II. Austin, a full partner of the 'great house of McDowell & Co , Mr. Carr s connections in Philadelphia, telegraphed Mr. Carr as soon as he heard of the trouble to 'fkeep the flag .flying; he was on theTwaV," and, sure enougn, ne arrived aag soon as it was possiDie ior r.im to ao sc Air. rtusn toni cashier of one of tlie principal banks of Philadelphia holding a very considerable quantity c-l the paper involved in the crashals) came down promptly on hearing! off the assign or ntB. rne two gentlemen were ;d riven all around Durtiam, shown ie very thing all the property held by tho tmen embarrassed said told ex actly what was proposed! to be done or ,the benent ox creditors. They were both entirely satisfied with what they saw and heard. TbBy said the situation didn't look.1 lik insolvency but I like temporary iemparrassment only. Mr. Rusbton wanted to know as soon as possible hows much cash would be necessary i to -set matters straight and intimated tiat it would be furnished. pi Mr. Carr says all hejhalor can com mand shall go to maintainihe credit of Durham. It is probablelthat no con eiderable portion of tJbe property in volved in the difficulty ill be sold andlnoTM of it will be vacirificed. The spint oi tue peopie is nost aamira ble. Their self-relianci and con fidence are remarkable. fThere is ev idently no such thing smong them as being "downed." lAlf the banks other than the one which assigned are as sound as a dollar, fare strongly sustained themselves and! will sustain Durham to the utmost. iThe people are standing up to ekebf other to a man. They are not to e dismayed or disheartened. Surely JJjrham xa the pluckiest place in Christendom! Mr. Zolliooffer, a Ieadrag lawyer of Henderson, to continue I personal in stances, went over to lok iiito mat-1 oerneo, ana expressed g nimseii as entirely satisfied with;; tee situation, the outlook, the whole Spirit of the people. It is probable bat the total liabilities resulting firoo the crash will not exceed $500,000, Col. Fuller says. They seem greite because the items going to make' thtjn up are in many instances separately stated. In other words the same iteSn is counted many times. i It is clear that whi& onr sister town has been visited with a crash it has by no means been rdowned in any sense of the word' lit is already well on the road to recovery and will before long be itself agwn and more Theatrical Attraction!

The title page is very neat and attractive, (the leading feature being the coat-of-arms of the State as becomes tbe North Carolina Almanac Price ten cents, j OVTBERIf Pharaoh' Dream. New York Herald. Sir Samuel Bsker, the distinguished African explorer, and other authori ties on the Dark Continent, have re cently Btartled the British public by a theory which, if proved to be true, means literal starvation to several millions of people and political re sults of importance to all the Medi terranean Powers. The Nile this year has-been uncom- monly low, and has now surik so far winter level that beneath its ordinary much of tbe usual and necessary irri- cation has become impossible. Est i- mates telegraphed from Egypt place the present oa to Egyptian revenues from this cause at over a million dol larp, and hint at immense damage un less there is a timely rise in tbe river. On top of this news comes Sir Samuel Baker with a warning, printed in as large tjpB as the London Times ever permits, that the present low Nile is not due to a dry season in tbe interior of Africa, but, on the con trary, comes from a deflection of the Nile, caused by the Mahdi or some of his white captivep, and the results of which will be an indefinite continu ance of that decrease in the Nile stream, which has already begun to cause bo much anxiety and misery among the Egyptian peasants. Sir Samuel Baker uRes strong language fOr a man of his reputation. For in stance, he writes : "I have seen a spot where the river might be deflected without difficulty and forced .to an eastern course to ward the Red Sea This would be an engineering work well within native capability. I can positively Btate the plan is feasible. I do not assert tbe actual cause of the present low Nile is a deflection of the river, but I think it highly probable and distinctly pos sible." The fact seems to be that the Atbara river is an indispensable trib utary of the Nile. Without the At bara floods and the slime carried by these floods the Nile would lose al most all of thosb qualities which have enabled it to create and support Egypt. It is conceded that the At bara river flows dangerously near and much above the vast depressed Red Sea desert, and that once en gulfed in this desert no portion of its waters could reach Egypt. Baker alone has thoroughly explored this region, and he states that nothing ex cept a narrow table land only a few feet above river flood level holds back the river. Others claim that a low range of hills keep back the river at this dangerous point and turn it toward Ejjypt. Since the "dtflectiou of the Nile" discussion began scholars have brought to light many odd legends and traditions tending to show that the Nile did at one time run dry for several years, and that former rulers of Egypt paid a regular annual trib ute to the barbarians controlling its head waters, in consideration of which they let. the river flow its usu al course. Sir Samuel Baker brings also Bible prophecies to bear on the Nile, and avers that the possibility of starving Egypt by turning the Atbara into the desert is well known to the Mahdi and his followers. A curious Biblical speculation is the suggestion by Baker that Joseph, confined in prison, learned from other prisoners of a coming attempt to turn the Nile, and hence knew of what be spoke when he advised Pha raoh to establish the first grain trust. Stanley, too, has a theory which threatens Egypt with ithe loss of the actual Nile, so that if the Mahdi and the King of Ugandi simultaneously do what Baker and Stanley declare can be easily done, the . outlook for poor Egypt is bad indeed. If any such action is contemplated by either the fanaticism of the Mah- di's followers or the drunken spite of a petty African king, tbe civilized world may any year witness such famine in Egypt as may have occurred in China, but certainly nowhere elBe in historic times, and may be forced to aid in moving a whole race, and that the most ancient and except per haps Chins, the most enduring peo pie in history, away from the land which, aided by the Nile, they made the centre of civilization for ages, and now in its decline a country considered worth fighting for when ever a new conqueror turns his face toward Asia and Africa. If there is any truth .in Baker's ideas, Gordon's desertion and death at Kbartouu may be terribly avenged upon England and Egypt, for with his death all possibility of retaining control of the headwaters of the Nile seems to have passed away. Another struggle against the Soudan fanatics, encouraged as they are by the con quest of Khartoum, would probably overtax tbe wealth and power of even Great Britain. The Christian Church. The Rev. W. G. Clements, who has served the Christian church in this city as pastor during the last twelve months, hai been called to another field and has accepted the call. Rev J.

Ihe choruses will be led by Miss Nannette Stone, the lady vocalist of St. Mary s school, and the orchestral department will be directed by Dr. Kursteiner, musical director of the same institution:. From this it will be easy for Raleigh people to under stand that nothing but pleasing suc cess is possible. In the cast there are some local debutants and debutantes who will agreeably surprise the natives1 An attempt to describe the various attractive features of the can- . tats, as it will be produced, would prove futile. Patience must be exer cised until it is presented. The best way to obtain r.nything like a fair conception of it is to read the story of Joseph. Read it today and see if there was ever anything to equal it in romance, beauty and grandeur; and then remember that seeing it acted is next to seeing the real events.
