At a meeting of Xcw 'England fac tory operatives the other day, there was read an advertisement in an English newspaper, signed by the owners of these factories, setting torth the tact that they! wanted five inousana hnglish operatives. These factory owners are the men who op pose low tariff on account of the in jury it works to American labor. . The Petersburg Index-ArmmK speaking of the "No Tax, No Vote" question now being agitated in this State, says : "ft was the ! baldest sort: of demagogism that abolished this very reasonable and just qualifica tion in Virginia. The man who is not able to contribute a dollar to the Commonwealth ought not to com plain if he is denied the right to manage the affairs of a government whose 'expenses are borne by others."

C, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1889. Twenty-Four. j A party of twenty-four colored people, afflicted with the exodus lever, left on the early train this morning lor the South. Ilickstown or No Ilickstowii. The good people in the western portion of the town arc having some trouble in having the charter of Hickstown repealed. Messrs. Black nail, Green, Brooks, Swift, Lyon and Lee went down to Raleigh on the noon trdin U fight the matter before the Legislature. The charter ought to be rononlod miil the nuisance abated. Satiety and Profit. If you are interested in the subject of Life Insurance and you. should be if you are not-be sure to read in this issue of The Plant the facts and figures presented concerning the wonderfully, successful Equitable Life Assurance Society, which is represented in Durham by Mr.James Southgate, who will cheerfully fur nish any information that may be desired. Street Railroad Extension. There is a move on foot to extend the street railroad. The idea is to begin at a point in North Durham, near Geer's. and run to the cemetery. This line would be of great benefit to the community and would prove highly beneficial tq the present line. Show your faith in and love for Dur ham by handing your subscription for stock to the company to the effi cient secretary, Mr. John L. Mark ham. All Bosh. Several ten hours have passed since Jordan Emerson, colored emi gration agent, received that raw-head-and-bloody-bones letter, and Emerson is still here and has not ex perienced strangulation at the hands of anybody yet. : "White Caps ! Bosh ! Black Caps, wjj dare say, would have been more appropriate, for we ven ture to guess that the writer otHhe aforesaid epistle is as black as the ace of spades. Inspection and Drill. A number of ladies and gentlemen gathered' at Parrish's -.warehouse, yesterday afternoon, at 4 o'clock, to witness the inspection and drill of the pride of the town, the Durham Light Infantry. There was a pretty full turn out of the Company, in command of Capt. W. A. Gattis. The inspection, by Col. E. J. Parrish, was very gratifying to him and very creditable to the Company, the arms and accoutrements beinc in first- class condition. The drilling was likewise creditable to the boys and was enjoyed by the spectators. Long live the D. L. I. Accident to Olic of Our Ministers Rev. Leroy L. Johnston, pastor of Carr M E. Church and North Dur ham M. E: i Church, has been quite unwell since he came to Durham. In fact, he eot out of a bed of sink- . ness that he might be on hand the first of the year. He has suffered a relapse, -and while sitting before the fire, at the parsonage, a kettle of boiling water upset,spilling the con tents :on his feet, burning one of them to a blister. He was unable to fill his appointment at North Dur ham Church, Sunday morning, and ReV. Alex. Walker preached to that congregation Sunday night. Another Narrow Escape, Two men. partially intoxicated. I A - 7 came hear being killed by the train, this morning while walking on the track, short distance west of the depot. It seems that the shifting engine was on one track and pulling cars 011 another track by means of a rope or chain. The men stepped from the track unon which was the . engine' to the track upon which the cars were being pulled towards them. The engineer put on breaks " and blew the whistle and the fireman rang the bell and both hollowed at the men, who took no notice of the warn insrsj Mr. S. M. Wilkerson hannened o - 1 1 to be coming towards the men and, at the risk of his own life, rushed upon them and "pushed them off the -t - 1 track and down the embankment. Plant Photographs. Mr. J.

', The agreement reached, after con siderable consultation, is that the friends of the bill shall to-day use their united efforts to aid the Appro priations Committee to get the pend ing appropriations bills through as rapidly as possible, in order that the fight may be made to get the Cowles bill under consideration. They expect to pass the two re maining appropriation bills, the De ficiency and the Indian, during to day and then-call up the report of the Committee on Appropriations on the Cowles bill. Mr. William Boylau, Jr. This gentleman has sold his in tpr- est in the grocery and grain store of X-WT T r ,i . - - w. J. VVyatt & Co., t0 Mr. Magruder Wyatt! and has purchased an in terest in the old, reliable and popular dry goods establishment of W. H. & R. S. Tucker Sz Co., of R ih ijrh. which firm is now composed of Mr Wm. Boylan,i Jr., Mr. T. W. Dobbin and Mr. James Boylan. Mr. I Bojlan has made many friends during Ids residence in Dur ham, who learn with regret that he and his estimable family will leav us, but who will join heartily with The Plant in wishing them a large measure of happiness in their new home. Mr. Boylan is now in Ral eigh, but his family will remain in Durham awhile. Mr. Boylan re cognizes the superiority of The Plant jaa- an advertising medium and as soon as. the spring opens his firm will let our readers know some thing about its new, nobby and beautiful goods. The Cotton Factory. The Plant mentioned some days ago that a party in Pennsylvania was willing to remove his factorv tn Durham provided .25 per cent, of tne stocK would be taken by citizens of Durham. The factory is a large one as large or larger than. any in the State. The machinery is repre sented as being first-class. The mill makes ginghams, lin seys and pant goods, such as cotton ades. j The gentleman owning the mill supposes that the machinery is worth about $100,000. but the vaIup of the plant he is willing to leave to experts j entirely disinterested. If the proper encouragement is ex tended the parties owning the prop erty are ready to open negotiations. What will Durham do in thp mat ter ? The question is an important ir k . i : 1 1 - auswei sun more impor tant. Reidsville by some similar management secured the removal of a cotton factory from Wil miner- ton, Delaware. We would surest that Mr. Robert I. Rogers, th en ergetic and efficient Secretary of the uurnam jana K Security Co., take the matter in hand at once, and rnn. vass the! town for subscrintionstrithp capital stock of the company, and ascertain what can be done. We say at oceinview of the following letter : - . I Philadelphia, Feb. 19, 1889. "If vou feei anv interest in thie matter would be pleased to hear from you, and have you send ex perts to examine machinery. We have propositions from three differ ent points in the South, but would lik to hear from you before we de cide." j , V Three other noints bidd the parties apparently prefer to come to uurnam.

Rubber Stamps. . -fde" Meu forTKr Stamps, of all rr-?. "T 3Uiml' etc, at the Durham bookstore of J- U. HITAKEB, JB, & Co $500 PER ANNUM. Invite Him to Durham. We clip the following from the Italeigh eics and:Obervr1 of recent date, and we would suggest that Mr. Lewis be invited to visit Dur ham during his trip to North Caro lina. Such a visit might redound in a large measure of advantage to our town, and we hope that immediate Steps Will be taken to extend the in vitation. It would be well for the Commonwealth Club and the Board of Trade and the town authorities to unite in requesting Mr. Lewis to come to see us. The Xeics d- Observer says : 'Mr. C. B, Lewis, the "M. Quad" of the Detroit Free Pre, writes us further as follows : "I expect to be " Raleigh by the -1th or 5th of March, and shall begin my work by writing up Raleigh, Wilmington, ew Berne, Charlotte, Salisbury and perhaps other towns. If your peo ple can be aroused to organize and put forth an effort thin spring their work will be rewarded. There is going to be a movement southwards, and scores of people I have come to me within a week to ask me to look into this and that for them while in your State. They want new homes STi fJtl0 find business openings, lhe California boom has 'petered out' and the tide is certain to turn southwards this spring." Take It in Time. " For want of a nail, a shoe was lost; for ant of a shoe, a horse was lost; for want of a horse, a rider was lost," Never neglect small things.
