Lynchburg Advance says:
''Some idea of the immensity of the
tobacco business of Durham, N. C,
can be obtained from the fact that
the sale of revenue stamps at that
place in September amounted to
60,332.07, and October, it is
thought, will reach! a still higher fig
ure. This is at the rate of about
88(0,000 a year. For a small town
in North Carolina this is a tremend
ous business, but then it should be
remembered that one tobacco house
in Durham is said to spend $.300,0! 0
a year in advertising. :
""This is unquestionably' a most
flattering business exhibit for Dur

"The question is : "Has God pre

"If 1 had walked up to this rail

before seen one, I would have said
'What is this'?' No one can tell me
and I say : 'I will find out' I get
a wheelbarrow and roll it along on
the rails, and I will say : 'This way

it.'. I will drive a wagon along the
track, but say, after a few feet : "This
way was not made for the wagon
nor the wagon made for the way.'
step down here to this round-house
and look at the powerful Rogers
engine, look at its magnificent con
struction, measure its ponderous
driving wheels and see the ilanges
upon the track, and I will say
'This engine was . made for that
track.' I steam it up to 180 pounds
to the square inch, hitch it to eigh
or ten passenger coaches and see it
move on gracefullyT over steel rails.
I say : 'The track was made for the
engine and the engine for the track.'
The locomotive engine on the track
is a thing of beauty, speed and pow
er, but off the track it is the most
helpless thing I ever saw. It cannot
move itself, much less the train. An
engine in the ditch looks like a slain
giant, truly ; it takes steel rails and
ties to make a track for that engine.

We learn with regret of the death
of Mr. I. A. Pasehall, clerk to our
Register of Deeds, which occurred
at an early hour this mornig, at his
home in the northern part of the
town, after an illnes of about a week
with pneumonia. We were unable
to ascertain at the time of closing

neral will take place.
Outrageous Treatment.
The wind and dust again" held
ligh carnival upon our street this
morning to the aggravation and dis-
comfort of our merchants, and yet
the street sprinkler did not appear
until eleven o clock. Ihe treat
ment our merchants receive in this,
matter is simply outrageous and
this grievance should be brought
lelbre the town authorities in pretty
Jain terms. 'Ihe merchants have
complied with the demand of the
own authorities bv creating a fund
to defray the expense of operating
the sprinkler and they have a right
to demand a compliance with the
contract under which this money
w:is raised.
One' of the commissioners informs
us that the failure to run the- sprin
kler rests solely upon the street
commissioner, who has positive in
structions to bring out the sprinkler
whenever it is needed II this be
true, the town commissionersshould
haul the street commissioner over
the coals and give him to under
stand that if he will not perferm the
duties ot his olhce he must step
down and out and make room for
some one who will. This is plain
talk, but we mean it and the cir
cumstances justify it. Our mer
chants are sick and tired of being
trilled with and having their goods
damaged, when the means' are at
hand to prevent it and when they
have paid to have these means put
into use.
Let a reform along this line be
speedily inaugurated, Messrs. Com
missioners, if you please.
