IS IT NOT SO.
He who has not learned to think
cannot be trusted as a safe counselor.
We want to sav a word about Durham.
Did it ever occur to the averaare reader
that here we have a town witli no aris
i
tocraey but an aristocracy of labor.
If we can be trusted jto go back for a
period of twenty years and bring each
jeion who has made the town what
it is to-day with a name almost
wide as the bounds of civilization
we could take them from the farm and
ii
cross-road stores ami bring with them
a little of family history shall we not
find that little if anyj claim to aristoc
racv is set un: that Durham is the
pride of that middle! class w ho when
tjie shock of war hatl passed burned
their bridges and set their stake for-
i
ward and by their magnificent labor
and devotion have brought it to. its
present prosperous s&ite. Isn't it true
that, in the ejes of the Slave-holding
aristocracy a
ten !acre lot full of
tliis class never amounted to as much
as a cabin of slaves ? Were such towns
as Winston, Durham, Asheville, Ilen
derson, Oxford and Statesville now
are, a ossibility under the old Con
stitutions of North Carolina! Was
it not the "Canby. Constitution that
first recognized the claims of this class,
dignified the labor of the State and
encouraged ittohoje for great thihgs?
Where now is the old slave-holding
i
aristocracy? We answer, plodding
along in the old rutsj, clinging to past
traditions, cursing the hand of destiny :
their savings from the wreck held in
government bonds Ino ray of hope in
siirht ; nothing to dJ but ito live in des
pair and vote the democratic ticket for
pastime. The founders of Durham
are proud of their handiwork: they
are pointed at with pride and com
mand more attention at home and
abroad than our entire congressional
representation. Republicanism made
Durham a possibility, when it recog
nized this class, until to-day they are
the only element of fsiiccess of the New
South. We shall soon claim our own
in all this Southern Country. Dur
ham and Democracy are unequally
