It should be remembered, howevejr, that lnere are DiacK sneep in, many flocks and that as honorable ! as the calling of a blacksmith is it does not necessarily lollow that this calling n preeminently free from rascals and disturbers of the peace. j The Messenger "is bound to con- elude," it eays, that Jordan : was stirring up strife and .that our situ ation renders it necessary to be "constantly on the alert to prevent the worst consequences?' Just so! Your premisses are correct, brother, but some of your conclusions are incorrect and at variance with 3our premises. Our people realized that Jordan was "stirring up strife," and they were "on the alert," and "to prevent the worst consequences"' they concluded to invite the man who was supposed to be at the bot tom, of the trouble to take his 'de parture. You cannot save from de struction a house that is in flames unless you put out the fire. Do you get the'idea? " In the carriage ride, we are frank to confess, there was ail clement of rashness, but we deny most emphati cally that,thcre was any 'murder lous intent," as Jordan would "have it ppear.

WONDERFUL ESCAPE FI0!1 DEATH. A lSuilding Shattered and l'ersons Wounded. Five Monday afternoon, about 4:2" o'clock, the boiler at the Duilders' and Manufacturers' Supply Co. ex ploded, hurling pieces of iron a con siderable distance and wrecking the engine house. The sound of the- explosion drew a large crowd to the scene of the ac cident and it was expected that some of the employes were either killed outright or fatally injured, but examination developed the tact that no one was dangerously hurt. The following persons were in jured : -Messrs. Mat. Winley, engi neer ; Sid- Christian, foreman : Joe Sherron and V. A. Copeland, the latter only slightly. Mr. Wimley was scalded about the head and neck : Mtssrs. Sid Christian, Louis Christian and Joe Sherron recciveif cuts about the head and neck, and Mr. C'opeland was ' biuistd on one the engineer, Mr. Wimley. had an intimation of what was about to occur and was making his way out of the engine room at the time of the explosion. Had he remained in the room he would, probably, have met with death or very serious injuries. A little child was about the room at the time and in running out Mr. AYimh-v grabbed the child and saved it lrom harm. ; W e do dot know the cause of the explosion. The engine r says he bad on two gauges of water at the time. The wounded men are all getting along well to-day. we are very glad to learn, and it is hoped they will soon recover from their injuries. It was a wonderful escape from a tdiduen death and the sufferers are. doubtless, thankful that their liver iwere spared and that their wounds arc not more serious. : -s .Mariticre No. At A o'cl-'i ,'11 ii; rsda y afternoon. alM I'lilh .pi-cojiai.l luircli in the jiresence ol a large numoer ol we dl- wisi er-;, Mr. Che-Icy M.

All Durham was taken aback yer terdav upon reading a notice posted upon the doors of the Hank of Durham stating that Mr. W. T. Blackwell. the proprietor, had made, an assigmm ut. Soon it was ascertained that Capt. I-. J. l'arrish. Mr. J. W. Illackwell. Me.-srs. Mu.-e ,V Shaw, Mr. W. F. Kllis. and Messrs. Kobbins A: Sloiie had also made assignments. Such a shock the community had never received. But vou would scar iv hclieve iiOv little eonnno- lion tlie disaster occasioned. Men gatheri d on the street corne rs, ex pressed surprise and regret, and passed on with the determination stamped on their countenance of the "mirke -a spoon or spoil a horn" kind, and went about their work. Sales occurred at the warehouses. the farmers were i;:id their money in fresh, clean, crisp bank notes and went home pleased. ilie ridelity, Morehead s and the rst National banks stood with wide open doors and served the public with promptness. 1 he I'i.ANTinust congratulate the good people of the town upon the excellent behavior under such try ing circumstances. Fellow citizens, you acted noli'. Half ormore of the troulde at such times comes of fright. lie quiet ; be patient and everything i 1 1 come out all right. Ion know Col. Blackwell, you know dipt. Ed. Parrish, and what manner of men they are. Why, they pinned the swadlings clothes on Dur ham in her habj'hood, and you are witnesses of how tenderly they have nourished and nursed. Days of ad versity are likely to overtake good men. The present is an instance. Rut such men as l'arrish and Blackwell you can never down. They began poor, both of them, to day they had accumulated more than one-half million dollars of good property. L This embarrassment, The Plant predicts is only temporary. They are honest, true men; the business world recognizes that. They have made a lull, complete and honest sur render of everything. Capt. Parrish even surrendering; his beautiful home', which in years ag;one, he had settled upon his wife. Such men fail ! There is no such word. They are needed too badly in this rushing; business world. Here and there many kind friends will throw out their cable tow to relieve them, and mark our prediction, soon both will again be permanently upon their feet. God bless them for the good they have done. , Tun Plant believes that both Messrs. Blackwell and Parrish have two to three dollars in good assets for every dollar of their liabilities, and times will right all this matter, and every creditor get one hundred cents in the dollar on all their claims. To Mr. W. F. Ellis, one of the cleverest of merchants, and to Messrs. Muse & Shaw, to Messrs. Robbins it Stone, and Mr. J. W. Blackwell, The Plant extends its most sincere sym pathy. . The embarrassment is an honest one, and while it appears to have been visited in a large manner upon the community and honorable gen tlemen have suffered, nothing dirty will be found in the whole matter, we venture to say. But, upon the other hand, the verdict, we are sure, will be, unfortunate but highly honorable. The Bottom Dropped Out ! No it ain't. No! No! Durham, from the scrub end of an old tield grew in fifteen years to be the pride of North Carolina and it ain't going to be downed at one lick. W'atch her pick her flint and come again. W'e must all stand closer together in the days ol adversity than in pros- j perity and you may be sure matters! will "right up' in less time than now seems reasonable. Hut, with nothing to start with, see what was accom- : pushed in lilteen years. -Now, with such a magnificent start, watch Durham crawl back on top. - - HI TOBACCO DEIWUT31EXT. ! Vlex.

The Hurleys of the new crop offered so far were of more red color and were paid for with libera! prices. The new dark crop, though leafy, is re ported to be coarse in liber. Farmers in the dark sections held -everal mtetings advocating not to raise any or little tobacco next year: however, in casif- the prices continue to rule so low aS we had them dur ing lost two months, many farmers will be forced to quit, for it would be suicide to continue.
