o 1 4 a TUB Dally Globe CTS A Month. 4 THE Dally Globe CTS A Month. To Any Part of the City. To Any Fart of the City. NEW SERIES VOL. I--NO. 216. DUBHAM, X. C, TUESDAY EVEISTUSTG, XOVE3IBER 4, 1890. PRICE FIVE CENTS. Ill Sara 1 SIDEWALK QUESTION. The Case Submitted to the Town Commissioners. They Meet To-Night and Will Have Two Petitions Before Them. A MARRIAGE EARLY THIS MORNING. People Who Come and Go Brief Brevi ties of Interest to All Header of The Globe. The town commissioners meet to-night, and the merchants of Durham would thank them if they would repeal the ordi nance prohibiting tradesmen from using ' any part of their sidewalks upon which to display goods. The Globe, acting upon the solicitation of several of Dur ham's best merchants, opened a vote on the question. This was a right which we enjoyed and which the merchants appre ciated. The Globe simply said that in no city in the civilized world was such a Blue law enforced. It did not assume a dictatorial position. Personally, The Globe cared nothing for it. It is in terested in the upbuilding of the town, and it knows that such an embargo chokes business. It may suit some of the people here, but we are talking about new men who will come to Durham. No man voted against the merchants, the list below shows how many voted for the merchants. Some are not tax-payers. Many of them are. We could mention men like Mr. Ballard, who cast the first ballot, and men like the Dukes who fol lowed closely. But the names are well known in Durham. If the commissioners do not want to grant the prayer of the petitioners, it is their own business. This morning Chief of Police "Wood all was circulating a pe tition, in the shape of a remonstrance, to anticipate The Globe's names, which will go before the commissioners to-night. Chief Woodall says that if the ordinance is modified that he will take a piece of steel and mark oil the space allowed the merchants and arrest the first transgres sor. If he does The Globe will applaud him. If the commissioners yield a right and that right is abused, the first man acting a hog or quibbling for an addi tional inch of space, should be arrested and heavily fined. The Globe presents a good list of good citizens. If the commissioners do not think it their business to respect this vote, then that ends the matter. The names are : J. II. Allen, B. X. Duke, W. Shelburn, W. II. Billiugs, Dr. J. J. Thaxton, N. A. Ramsey, J. R. Gatti, W. F. Freeland, J. J. Gattis & Son, James Gattis, T. J. Gat tis, S. W. Holman, E. S. Sheppe, E. C. Dunlap, W. F. Meadows, W.

The new fertilizer works will soon be ready for business. The next thing in order will be the meeting of the legislature. The mail boxes are ready now to re ceive your mail. The uniforms will come bye and bye. Henry's street parade to-day caught the town. It is a good minstrel com pany and should have a good house to night. Have you numbered your house ? If not, consult Captain Ramsey. He can fix you out and tell you the number of your home. It is stated by those who attended the performance, that the company which held the boards at Stokes Hall last night, played the devil. The county commissioners met yes terday and adjourned until to-morrow morning. They transacted some business, but will transact more to-morrow. The Mutual Co. has employed its secretary, and he will be in his office by next Monday, and then the wheels of that institution will commence to turn. Mr. T. C. Williams becomes one of the proprietors of the Raleigh Evening Visitor, A. L. Ferrell retiring. The v isi tor is a sprightly little sheet and we hope that it may continue to be a winner. There is a mistake in history con cerning the origin of Colonel Brown ing's story, "The Pied Piper." It was written in Durham on election day after witnessing the street parade of a min strel show. The manner in which our firemen responded to the alarm yesterday shows that they are ready for business. The thing to do however, is to have an elec tric alarm system, and then it will be a very easy manner to locate fires at once The keys for the city mail boxes came yesterday and the locks were put on im mediately after their arrival. All is now ready for the free delivery system, and letters deposited in any of the boxes will be taken up by the carriers on their daily routes. A. II. Michaels & Co. are opening up a stock of drugs in the store recently oc cupied by R. F. Whitehurst, and invite the public to call and examine. Mr. Michaels has lately been prescription clerk at the drug store of X. M. Johnson. The Globe wants the new firm to suc ceed. Arrivals at Hotel Claiborn : Xatt B. Ilyer, Xorth Carolina; M. L.

Duke Sons & Co.'s great cigarette factory turned out at their Durham and Xew York house, 101, 000, 000 cigarettes and 105,000 pounds of smoking tobacco during the month of October. This is the first time in the history of the establishment that It sold over 100,000,000 cigarettes in a single month. And this is doing well enough. Hi Henry's famous minstrels of thirty stars who appear at the opera house on the 4th will, in addition to their superior performance offered, read the election re turns from the stage during the perfor mance. General admission 2o and 50 cents, reserved seats 75 cents, on sale at Blacknall fc Son's drug store. Their program is a superior one and their prices within the reach of all. The Xorth Georgia Citizen, of Dal ton, Ga., says: Hi Henry's Minstrels opened the season at the opera house last Monday night to a good audience. The company gave a creditable exhibition, first-class in every particular, and many new and original features were intro duced. Everybody was highly pleaaed with the entertainment, and pronounced the troupe a thoroughly good minstrel organization. The company travel in their own private car, and is composed of some thirty performers, among whom is some exceptionally good minstrel talent. We recommend the company as one in whom the theatrical public will not be disappointed. They advertise liberally and do what they say they will do. To-night at Stokes Hall, where the election returns will be read from the AS THEY CAST 'EM. The Voting in Durham a Quiet Affair. The Liars of the North and West Should Have Witnessed It. CUPID'S PLAY. REPORT OF THE COLORED SCHOOL. Prof. James A. "Whitted Make a Report That Is Very Creditable to Him. If there is anything in weather some party had the edge on the business to day. In the West and Xorth there is a dreary tradition that a damp, wet day is good for the democratic party. It is claimed that the democrats, in many states in that section being in the minor ity, would stem tide and water to vote. The republicans, being in the majority, feel assured of victory any way, and ac cordingly will not venture out unless the day is good. The democrats, anxious to roll up as big a majority as possible, would face even fire to get their ballots in the box. W hether there are any traditions of that kind in this country, this writer does not know. But he does know that a grander day was never born. Xovem ber will never see a fairer day than this election time, provided it continues as it started and remained up to noon. The voting at the different polling places was carried on in a quiet manner; there was nothing like we read about in radical northern papers in fact the vote in Durham to-day has been more orderly and more like the doings of a civilized community than is very often the case in the glorious Xorth, with all its boasted freedom, and etc. TnE Globe would like to have seen about two hundred hot-headed radical, foaming editorial writers of some of the big papers which it knows, down here to day. It would like to have taken them and stood them by the ballot boxes and exhibited to them the lies they have writ ten in past years. The South, when it is once understood, will be the greatest country under the sun. The vote at this place will be full, all the registered voters going up and cast ing their ballot for their country's cause. Xo disturbance of any kind has taken place, and the best of good feeling reigns. GOOD ENOUGH. BALLARD & HALLIBURTON SELL THE LOT TO THE NATIONAL BANK It Brings Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars a Front Foot, and a New Building Will Go Up at Once. When The Globe announced that the First Xational Bank had purchased the corner of Main and Corcoran street for a new bank site, it almost knew what it was talking about. The sale wTas consu mated to-dav. The lot is 00x100 feet and the price paid was $15,000. This is an indication of what real estate is worth in Durham. The bank will at once com mence the erection of a $25,000 brick buildimr. three stories high. There will be two store rooms in this building, besides the bank, one fronting on Cor coran street and one on Main street. This is one little boom, one substan tial structure to take the place of an un sightly shell. Let the ball roll. The lot formerly belonged to Blackwell & Carr. THE FIRST MONTH. He Joins Two Worthy Durham People for Life To-Day. On this day, big with fate, when can didales are in the air, Colonel Cupid concluded to be a candidate himself and settle the oft disputed question, "Is mar riage a failure." Colonel Cupid won. Mangum street presented a brilliant scene this morning. At an early hour a crowd of admiring friends assembled at the residence of Mr. W. D. Lunsford, to witness the marriage of his daughter Annie to Mr. J. S. Long, a popular young tobacconist and one of the rising young men of Durham. The floral decorations were superb, especially the marriage bell of chrysanthemums, under which the couple stood during the ceremony, and the atmosphere within and without was freighted with sweet prophesies of hope and joy. To the brilliant rendering of the wed ding march "by Miss Lessie Southgate, the attendants entered the parlor and took their places in the following order: Miss Maggie Lunsford, Mr. W. S. Hal liburton. Miss Ida Lansdell, Mr. J. W. Jones. Miss Sallie Y'ates,Mr. W. E. Lunsford. Miss Maggie Umstead.Mr. W. R. Israel. Miss Lillie Lockhart, Mr. W. M. Yearby. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Dr. Yates, who sealed the compact with the beautiful emblem the wedding ring and amid the congratulations of friends and a shower of old shoes, the pair left on the 9:30 a. m. train for an extended tour through the Xorth, taking in Wash ington, Xew York, Philadelphia and other cities. The bride is a favorite in Durham society, which she will continue to adorn. The Globe has no old shoes about the establishment, but when it has it will re member them. TO IFYESTORS COMING AND GOING. Durham People on the Move and Visitors in the City. Mr. Lex Davis, of Oxford, is inthecit Mr. W. T. Meadows, of Oxford, is in Durham to-day. Mr. W. S. Jessup, of Greensboro, has accepted the position of secretary with the Mutual Land company, and with his famil v will move to Durham this week. Mrs. J. A.

Great excitement prevails at Lexing ton, this State, on account of a cutting affray that occurred there Saturday even ing, between Charlie Byarly and Jim Lindsay, both colored. It seems the two negroes were near the depot, when they commenced boxing. Lindsay seemed to get the best of it, whereupon Charley Byarly drew a knife and cut Lindsay's throat, cutting his neck vein and parti ally severing the jugular vein. The negro is alive yet, but will die. Charlie Byarly made his escape. The negroes were both drunk and had been very noisy on tne streets nunng tne aay. Every effort will be made to capture Byarly. The spiritual shepherd of the Afro Methodist Episcopal church at this place, has evolved a scheme for collecting his yearly stipend which is both novel and enterprising, rrohting D' the success of the gift entertainment system in other lines of business, he ha3 concluded to try it himself, and has placed on exhibi tion at the store of the Durham Furni ture company, an $18 rocking chair, which he proposes to give away to the man selling the largest number of votes, said votes to be sold at ten cents a piece "and proceeds to go toward the payment of the pastor's salary. If this is not en- ternrise. we would like to know what a you call it. Captain Ramsay called this morning with a copy of the election law which says expressly that no one shall be al lowed to speak to the voter except the judges of election, and called our atten tion to the fact that some fifty or sixty fellows were button holeing the man with the ballot until he let it drop. But suppose thev did ? The election is about over now. And we shall know each other better when the returns all come in 8S.151 96.90 161 Mangum street was agog this morn ing. The crowd that gathered around and about the residence of Mr. Lunsford, to catch a glimpse of the bridal party a3 they emerged from the door and entered the carriages, ws? larger and more en thusiastic than that which greeted the Italians with the big bear a few days ago.

Pittsboro, X. C, Sept. 28, 1800 To the Durham Medicated Cigarette Co.: Gexts I have u?ed your Medicated Cigarettes for Headache and Insomnia, and have been greatly benefited by them. Especially for Sleeplessness I have ex perienced more relief than from all other remedies that I have tried during the eight years that I have been a sufferer. Since using them I am almost entirely free from Insomnia, although I have dis continued them for nearly two months. I can further certify that they have been of great service to some friends to who l recommenaea mem ior uroncmai bles. Very respectfully, The Stockholders of The First Xational Bank of Durham have decided io increase the Capital Stock from $100,000 to $200,000. The Bank was organized in Xovember, 1887, beginning business Jan uary 1, 1888, and has been successful from the beginning. Some of the staunchest financial men in the state, non-residents of Durham, are numbered among the stockholders of the bank. Since the organization the bank has paid $1G,000 in dividends to its shareholders and has to the credit of surplus and undivided profits to-day $15,000. The Bank has an established and growing business and it is the judg ment of the Board of Directors that, with an increase of capital, the bank can show an increase of earnings without any material Increase of expense. The Directors feel almost warranted in saying that the bank ought to earn a dividend each year of 8 per cent, besides provid ing a satisfactory amount to be carried to the credit of surplus and un divided profits. The stock of the bank has always been regarded as "gilt edge," and in truth it has been next to impossible to buy It at all. The large crops which will seek a market at Durham this fall and winter, the large amount of valuable business already permanently located here, the large increase of business which the near future prom ises to develop, and the general growing commercial Interest of Dur ham, the Directors think justify them in making the increase. The value of the stock, as shown by the books of the bank to-day, is $115 per share, at which price the new stock is offered. Books of subscription will be opened this day at the bank, and per sons desiring to secure stock should apply promptly, as several applica tions are already on file. Very respectfully yours, J. S. CARR, President. The management of the bank is in the hands of the following gentle men, to-wit: OFFICE11S: J. S. CARR, - - President. I LEO D. HEARTT, - Cashier. W. W. FULLER, Vice-President. CHAS.
