Coal miners cannot stand the, reduction in wages proposed by the high tariff mine owners.

What a pity it is the wreck of the train carrying Libby Prison to Chi cago did not so completely demolish the materials that they could not be put together again Bishop Potter's centennial ser mon proves the correctness of the raying that the truth hurts.

It can be truly said that the sun never sets on the dominions of the United States. IJefo're it goes down on our westernmost possessions, the islands we purchased with Russian America, it has risen in Maine. So there is daylight always iii the United States. Tiik Charleston Xfivn oud Courier says: "The principal reason why 'the North' has distrusted :the South' has been the disposition of so many men in this section to explain and apologize where neither explana tion nor apology has been neces sary." This is about the truth! of it. Scattering flowers over the' graves of dead Confederate soldiers and ob serving one day in each year as commemorative of their deeds is right and proper and should always be done But we should not let our attention to the dead prevent our providing for the living who are in need. There are needy ones among us and they should, be provided. for. John Nichols aimed too high. Had he contented himself with some such as the Raleigh postoffice he would probably not have been told that his appointment could do the Republican party no good. ! We would advise our Southern Repub licans not to look higher than local positions. If they do they will be pretty apt to be disappointed every time. I ' Col. W. F. Fox, in his recent book entitled 'Regimental Losses in the War," says : "North Carolina killed, 14,522; Virginia, 5,328 ; South Car olina, 9, 1 8 7 ; Georgia, 5,552; Mis sissippi, 5,807. North Carolina also led the list in the number that died of wounds, and 20,602 of her sons died of disease to 6 947. Virginians. The sons of other States did more talking, but North Carolina evidently did far the most righting. Her mili tary population in 1861 was 115,369, but she furnished 125,000 mn to the Confederate cause " Wilmington Star, TOWN TALK. -Strawberries to night.

The Durham Light Infantry will leave on the noon train to mor row for the memorial exercises at Raleigh. : The sanitary policeman, Mrj P. P. Cheek, is on duty. Let the citi zens render him every assistance in enforcing the sanitary regulations of the town. Preparations are in progress ;fbr appropriate observance of "Chil dren's Dav," at Trinity Methodist Church, oil Sunday after next, Hie programme is in charge of Mrs. Dr. A. 7i. Carr, which announcement alone is sufficient' to awaken antici pations of an enjoyable occasion. If the Sanitary policeman will take a stroll in the neighborhood of the corner of Queen and Liberty streets, his ollactories will be greeted by an odor that should suggest im mediate sanitation. The aforesaid scent is the peculiar, sour, sickly smell emitted by the untidy dwelling place of swine, some times called a hog pen; a thing, by the way, that should have no place in a well regu lated town. DURHAM, N. C, THURSDAY, MAY 9, 1889. Why-lale a odk at our advertis ing columns to-day ? Among other things, because! you will find there an important announcement by the Inimitable. Wires are being placed "; in Black;weirs Durham Co Operative Tobacco Factory, preparatory j to lighting the same by the Edison sys tem of electricity. ' Remember that those desiring to attend the memorial exercises at Raleigh to-morrow may secure round trip tickets for Si 50. Tickets good returning until Saturday even ing. Don't forget the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry next Tuesday afternoon. The sev eral committees are to be announced at that time and we hope the organi zation will get square down to busi ness for the upbuilding of Durham. Attention, D. L. I. ! You are hereby commanded; to meet in your armory, to-morrow (Friday) morning May 1st, at 11 o'clock sharp, in full dress uniform to attend memorial services in Ral eigh. lv order " Cai-t. W. A. Gattis, Jr. T. h Winston, 1st Sgt From 3Ir, Bostick. We are in receipt of a postal card from Rev. G. P. Bostick, dated Brownsboro, Ky., May Gth, in which he.says: "We have had a good time with friends and loved ones here. Leave the 9th for Memphis and sail (D. V.) from San Francisco the 3d of June. I would reach back in my prayers and good wishes to all my friends in Durham." j To-Night. "Come out,enjoy the berries, aid a good cause," is the general and cor dial invitation to the strawberry fes tival, to be given in the Parrish building to-night, by the Ladies' Aid Society of the Presbyterian Church, for the benefit of their building fund. Many, doubt'eas, will avail themselves of the invita tion, which promises so much pleas ure and satisfaction. Serious Charges. y it is; reported on the streets to-day that a well known citizen of Durham county! had a fight with his son-in-law, in Patterson township,yesterday evening, and that last night, in com pany with confederates, went to the house of the son in-law, made a forci ble entrance and attempted to hang him, but the proposed victim pre vented; the execution by escaping. These charges are so serious that we withhold names until we can gather further particulars. Concentrated Electricity. It has been; demonstrated I at Blackwell's Factory, where an Edi son dynamo is in operation, that sufficient electricity can be bottled up, as it were, during the day, ! in sufficient ouantitv to do the light ing at night and the engine is not run extra hours on account of the dynamo. We are not an electri cian and don't know how it is done, but it is a fact that it is done, as cu- rious as it may appear. It seems not impossible that lamps, after a little, will be charged with electri city, so that there may be movable electric lights in ' the households of the world. ; Will Sell It Anyhow. The following clipping from the Xeics arid Observer gives evidence of ashameful and high-handed purpose tvjo iolate law. Is it not about time that officers of the law, from Judges to Constables, were awaking to the importance of suppressing the spirit of lawlessness ? We think so. If it is not curbed there is no telling to what fearful results it may lead. That it is growing; is evidence by the bold declarations of whiskey sellers, Viven in ithis item from the Xewsand Observer: "It is the impression among some of the saloon keepers here that the city will go dry in the coming local option election, as some of the sa loonists themselves are working to carry it that way .They say they will sell the whiskey anyhow and can make more money if they do not have the: license to pay. It is a fact that some of thesaloonists will favor local option on that ground." Photographs. Mrs. Geo. P, Collins went down the road to-day. Mr. J. Exum got back from Tennessee to-day. Capt. .1.8. Lockhart is at home from a trip to Richmond.. ; Mr. Samuel Watkins, of Hender son, was in town to day. Mr. R. B. Boone returned to-day from a trip to Tennessee. ? Mr. Daniel Osborn, of Oxford, is on a visit to his son, Mr. W. II. Os born. Mr. F. II. B'usbee, of Raleigh, was in town this morning and left for home on the noon train. Rev. J. A. Cunningiiu was on the noon? train to-day, returning from a meeting of the trustees of Trinity Col lege. Dr. B. F. Dixon, Superintendent of the Oxford Orphan Asylum, was on the west-bound train yesterday atternoon. I Misses Sallie and Annie Jones, of Goldsboro,1 passed up the road yester day afternoon, en route for Asheville, to visit relatives. Mrs. M. K. Millard, of Goldsboro, passed through here yesterday after noon, going to Hendersonville to visit her daughter. Miss Ada Drum mond,of Asheville, spent the day here yesterday, the guest of Miss Nannie Walker, re turning 'home from Oxford. Ex-Governor Scales was on the east-bound train to-day going to Raleigh, where he will deliver the address at the memorial exercises to-morrow. Mrs. J. P.

The train will start, at 7 30 o'clock, Saturday morning, from the new pas senger depot of tne Durham & North er railroad. Returning, will leave Henderson! at 4 o'clock, p. m. Can't Durham Get It? . The location of such a college a .Trinity in Durham would be of great advantage to the town. It seems tha't' Trinity will be moved from its psent location it certain conditions afcomplied with. The News and Observer, of this morning, savs : ! ''A called meeting of the Board of Trustees of Trinity College was held in Greensboro Tuesday, and the fol lowing resolution in regard to the removal of; the college was adopted J by a vote of 15 in favor of removal and 3 against removal : Resolved, That after mature and prayerful consideration, we believe it bfst for the interest of Methodism in North Carolina and the cause of God to move Trinity College to some prominent centre within this State provided there shall be ten dered to this board a proper guar antee of a suitable site with build ings on it of at least equal value and as well suited for the uses of the col lege as those on the present site." Happiness and Contentment Caiinot go hand in hand if we look on the dark side of every little obstacle. : Nothing will so darken life and make it a burden as I)pepsia.

Whitaker, Jr., & Co., i At Durham Bookstore. Plant Memorial Day. ; Amid the business and pleasures and cares of life it is mete that - we of this fair Southland call a solemn hush once a year and tenderly weave fresh garlands From Springs beauti ful flowers to perpetuate the memory of the heroes who sleep beneath the conquered banner. Nearly a quarter of a century has passed since the . last gun was fired and the last sword was sheathed in the terrible conflict and the suvivors of the Southern ranks, with sad hearts, saw the cause for which they had displayed a valor that chal lenged the admiration of the world, wither and die without.hope of res urrection. A longtime ago was this, but the memory of those who gave their life blood - as a sacrifice upon the altar ot country is still revered as recurring Spring-time attests, when fair women and brave men through out the South assemble and pay hom age to their patriotism and bravery and scatter the beauties of the floral world upon their graves.
