The House of Representatives is at a deadlock over a resolution to amend the rules of the House to prevent the call of States for the in troduction and reading of bills on the first and third Mondays of each month. This is apparently a small matter, but it seems this rule gives the minority power to postpone leg islation and the Democrats want to retain it for their advantage in the next session. ' i An Iowa statute provides that if a railroad company fails to pay dam ages caused to stock, by" reason of non-fencing of its road, within thirty days after the claim is made, the company shall pay twice the amount of tlic stock..' The various State and Circuit Courts have -sustained the statute, and it has also been declared constitutional bv the Federal Su premc Court. The railroads con tended that it was unconstitutional as discriminating against them. TOWN TALK. Pleasant meeting ot the Reacjing Circle, last-night.

Advertising is one of the ways to make things lively' and to stdp advertising is one of the ways to in vite disaster. Do you catch on? We hope that Chairman Lowe, of the County 'Commissioners, to whom the matter was referred, will decide' to have a clock placed in: the tower of the courthouse as soon as practicable.: Have delegates been appointed lrom Durham county to the Confed erate Pensioners' Convention, tel. be held at Raleigh, on the '22d instant?

' TJie First IJaptist. On account of the repairs now in progress in: the interior of the First Raptist Church, there will be no ser vices in that church on Sunday, but Sunday School will be held at 9:30 o'clock, a.lm., at Stokes Hall. All are requested to carry a copy 'of Tri umphant sSongs to these services. There will be no service at night. Services' Accepted. ' The services of Rev. 0. P. Bostick, pastor of trie First Raptist Church, as a missionary to China, were accepted at the recent session pf the Roard of Foreign Missions, held at Richmond, and Mr. Roptick expects to sail for his new fielol of labor in May. Many prayers will ascend from' Durham to the throne of mercy for his success in pointing the heathen to i the "Lamb of Cjod that taketh away the sin of the world." Just' So, i no lomnving ensioie .oris arc from the Wjlmington 3Ie.eriger:' "When the business men of a town fail to advertise, they diminish the importance! and trade of the place and permitjmore enterprising local ities to take it from them. . Although done for their individual interest, advertiser should be looked upon by the citizens of the town where thev reside as they shouh inglv." I public benefactors, and be encouraged accord- A High and Appreciated Honor. . We learn that our townsman, Mr. Julian S. Carr, has been invited to preside , over the Confederate Pen sioners' Convention, to be held at Raleigh on the 22d ot this month. This is an honor worthily bestowed and we doubt not is most highly appreciate! by the recipient thereof. Mr. Carr was one of the boys in grey and the cause of the needy and maimed of his comrades has no more earnest and sincere advocate than he: ; Confederate soldiers, whose courage, patriotism and. self sacrifice shine as stars upon the pages of history, have a warm place in the heart of our esteemed towns man and it gives him pleasure to do a service for them and especially for thoseKupon whom, adversity has iaiien. i u i ; i. - - i - ' I-. '''! Savings Bank. 1 There is talk of establishing a Penny Savings Rank in Durham. ! Such an institution would, doubtless, j stimulate jfrugality among our labor- ing peoi)le and others of small means jam! thus enable them to lay by a ; little for the future, instead of spend I ing every pent of their income as fast j as it is received and making them- selves liable! to want, if not destitu tion, in the event of protracted sick ness or other misfortune. Winston has a similar institution, of which j the Ticin-pity Daily gives the follow ing encouraging report : uThc F'orsvth Five Ceitfs Saving j Rank has: come to stay. The trus j tees declared the regular quarterly ; dividend, jand decided to move into the buihliiig formerly occupied by the I Wachovia' National Rank. This in- stitution lhas accomplished much good by encouraging the saving of small sums among our young people 'and the laboring class."

The railroad com panies have very kindly offered to' turnish passes, tree of charge,, to all delegates and are desirous of secur ing the names of delegates as early as possible, as will be seen from the; following letter : : I j R. & D.

Haas, traffic manager of Associated Railways of lrginia ana tne arolinas, wno will have passes issued for each delegate to Raleigh and return. You will see the importance of prompt action in this matter, as the time is drawing near, and passes must be in the hands of each delegate before' he leaves home. 1 our answer to this letter will greatly oblige.

Silk is worth more than calicoi broadcloth more than jeans, syur more than molasses, turkey more than chicken, a tine. horse more than a common one, etc., -etc,, etc. We are led to these rejections by the fact that some of our subscribers are dis posed to kick at the advance; in the price of subscription to The Daily Plant. We are sorry to have to discommode you, gentlemen, but we intend to give you a first-class paper as long as we are . in the business, and we assure you that The Daily Plant cannot be afforded at a lower price, than $o.00 per year, without dispensing with some of its' interest ing and valuable features. ' We do not propose to lower the standard, and if you will not listen to reason. we can t help it. Apportioiiiiieiit'-ot" School Fund. The County Board of Education has apportioned the sum of $2.00 per capita to the various school districts of the county and several weak districts were given a supple mentary apportionment of $135.00 each. The apportionment is much larger than that of many counties and we doubt if it is exceeded by any county in the State. . If the money is used judiciously it should afford us pretty fair public schools. We are glad that the Roard was able to do so much for our educational interests. Discretion should be used fn the employment of teachers in order that the children may receive the greatest . benefit . Efforts at economT, however, should not be permitted to dwarf into parsimony. An incapable, inefficient teacher is. high at any price. Wherever it is possible, to do so, teachers with first grade certificates should be - em ployed. Water seeks jts level and we must not expect jpupils to ac quire first-class instruction under a second or third-class instructor. In short, let us have good teachers even if we are obliged to. have short terms of school. Do Not Siifl'er Any Longer. Knowing that a cough can be -checked in a day, and the first stages of consumption in a week, we hereby guarantee Dr. Acker's .English Remedy for Consumption, and will refund the money toall who buy, take it as. per directions and do not find our statement correct.
