We are afraid nothing can prevent a great deal of sickness in this section this summer. It seems that there bave already been several cases of pneumonia and dyphtheria there. Among the debris of the express train wrecked at Johnstown, was round yesterday, the trunk of Miss Annie Chism, of Nashville, Tenn. She was a missionary on her way to Brazil for the Women's Foreign Mis sionary Society ot trie Methodist Church. Her bodv has not vet been bund. ! If the town authorities will just knock a big hole in the water main the grading of Peabody street has brought to the surface, we can have steamboat as well as railroad facili ties on that street. There! is room enough to construct a good-sized ca nal between the railroad tracks and the hotel lot fence.! What do you think of this, Conscript Fathers? Who next, indeed! Chatham county comes to thc front with a mcing gander this week. The Record says: "Chatham 'takes the cake.' Dancing bears are nowhere. Mr. E. C. Brewer,! of Bear Creek i - l township, has a 'dancing gander,' so we are ilafprmed. ! Our informant savs that if given a little dough that he will shuffle and pat it off in real earnest. Next !"

Yes, it injures the whistey ousiness. Let's injure it some more on Mon day. We have received from "Boney" a reply to "Daisy's" article, "Is Mar riage a Failure?" jThe paper will appear in The Plant in a few days. The Durham Township Sun day School Convention, appointed for to-day at Trinity church was postponed until Tuesday, June 18th. The members ; of the Degree Staff of Golden Link Lodge will meet at the lodge room to-night at So'clock. Every member earnestly requested to be present! The Slate Chronicle says : "Only two days ago three of the leading merchants in Raleigh were heard to say that trade was 50 percent better during Prohibition than the year previous or following it." Have you doubted that you are possessed of a talent? If you are a voter of Durham, doubt no longer. Your ballot is a talent and you will have the opportunity on Monday to use it in behalf of -, morality and the best interests of your town. Will you so use it, or will you do worse than hide it by voting for bar-rooms? DURHAM, N. C, SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 1889. This morning, Judge Bynum appointed Messrs. W. A. Guthrie, John M. Moring and W. J. Kxum, of the Durham; bar, a committee to draft resolutions on the death of Judge Thomas Ruffin. The com mittee will report Monday morning. The schedule of prices for the excursion to Wake Forest on next Thursday has been changed so that members of the First Baptist and the Blackwell Baptist Sunday Schools, between the ages of 12 and 15 years, may go for 50 cents. The other prices remain as heretofore announced, viz. : Members of the school, over 12 years, $1.00; all persons not con nected with the schools, $1.25. We take pleasure in directing attention to the commendable action of the Provident Savings Life As surance Society, of New York, with reference to losses sustained by the terrible flood at Johnstown, and also to the generosity manifested in the donation of one thousand dollars for the relief of the sufferers. This re liable company is represented in Durham by Messrs. J. H. Southgate & Son. - Commissioners' to Street Com missioner, ! Too many shade trees along the line of railroad. They prevent the prospector from taking a fair view of our back lots. Cut them down. Notice! T There will be a regular meeting Qf the Durham Chamber of Commerce and Industry on Tuesday afternoon, at 4 o clock, in the l. M. C. A. hall. H. E. Seeman, Secretary. D. L, I., Attention! You are hereby commanded to meet at your armory lor company night, June 10th, at drill, Monday 8 o'clock, sharp. By order of Capt. . A. Gattis. E. L. Bryan, 1st S'g't. Ain't It So? To have seen a man with an axe belaboring to fell one of the few pretty shade trees with which the town is blessed, only a few years or even months ago, we would have supposed that Dr. Grissom had lost one of his patients, and he had brought up at Durham. O Temporal O More : 1 To-Morrow Afternoon. Rev. J. L. White will preach on the subject of prohibition, at the First Baptist Church, to-morrow af ternoon, at 4 lo'clock. The church will doubtless be crowded. We wish a more commodious building had been secured for this service, as it is probable many will be denied the pleasure ot hearing Mr. White for want ot room. Mass Meeting. There will be no services in any of the Methodist churches of Durham to-morrow morning except at Trini ty Church, where a mass meeting of this denomination will be held tor the purpose ofl considering the prop osition to erect a church building in North Durham. It is expected that the Presiding Elder, Rev. J. T. Har ris, will be present and address the meeting. Y. M. C. A. On account of the services at the First Baptist church to-morrow af ternoon, at 4 o'clock, both the junior and senior gospel meetings will be held to-morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock, the former in the parlor and the latter in tlie hall. The senior meeting will be led by Capt. Leo. D.I Heartt, assisted by Mr. Jno C. Angier. Subject, "God is Able." Township Conventions Owingto the small number present at the hour forj opening the Durham Township Convention this morning it was deemed advisable to postpone until Tuesday,1 June IStb, at which time the programme arranged for to day will be carried out, and it is hoped that the Sunday school work ers of the township will turn out and have a good meeting. Oak Grove Sunday School Con vention will be held on Thursday, Ju ly 4th, at Morning Sun Academy. Mangum Township Sunday School Convention will be held at ML Tabor Church, Flat River, on Saturday, Ju ly SS"th. Plant Photographs. j Mr. Kl.

Those who have not already sub scribed to the fund for the relief of the Johnstown sufferers are requested to hand such sums as they wish to give, to some member of the com- mitteeJ or leave the same at The Plant office, by Monday jafternoon, 5 o'clock, as it is proposed to close the work up at that time, j Let there be generous responses. i We have not learned the total amount subscribed un to this after- noon.

The Situation, Before another issue of TheTlaxt greets its readers the closing hours of the contest between the whiskey sellers and their coadjutors and those opposeu to uie imainous ua r-room i i i . i 1 wn upon us. There are three classes of voters in the town at this time. 1. Those who are uncompromisingly opposed to the evil, embracing all the minis- ters and a large majority ot the church members and some who are not christians. 2. The whiskey sell- ers, a lew church members and a large majority of those who take no stock in Christianity. 3. Those who have not yet' determined upon which side they will enlist in the coming struggle. , To the first class we would say, stand firm, let nothing deter you fmm PYprtinir pvprvr nrnnor inflnono to prevent the terrible calamity of opening the "vestibules of hell" in our fajr town . courageously show your colors and come out on Mon- day and worP, as well as vote, against the bar-rooms. To the second class, we have but little to say. 'hphraim is joined to his idols " We are sorry to see some of our friends aiding the whis- Key sellers with a zeal worthy ot a good cause. It is difficult for us to understand why they do it. From our standpoint, they have a ver poor way of showing that they de- sire tne pruiiiuuuu ui uie ue-t inter- ests of Durham To the third clas, we would ap peal with all the earnestness of which we are capable, to come over and help us to defeat the monster evil In n,.,tr f v.;Ti ,.- I . r. foothold in our community for the nrnPnntinn of its rlnmnnble work, jn tnis appeal we are joined by your mothers, your wives, your children, Vour ministers, and a lame maiority 0f the professing christians of the town.

If you are honest and earnest and are seeking for light, we beg you to consider well the fearful responsi bility that will rest upon those who vote to re-establish the dens ot in famy. in our midst.

Whither Are We Drifting ? 31essks. Editors: Will vou be kind! enough to allow me, through your j valuable paper, to ask a few questions- in regard to the above heading? What is our christian land coming to? To-day, a youth, who ; is pious, sober, honest and n christian, was summoned to go to a bnr-rooin in Tlnrhmn tnwnsliin n trialj to be tried by men opposed to him ;and his views. In the name of high! heaven and humanity, are there no other places in which to hold Jus-' tices courts aside from these dens of hell ? Will the christian people tol- erate such an act as this? 1 his case is onlya revenge against my boy tor informing against a man whojwas dealing out whiskey to par- ties contrary to law, to minors, and without license. W. D. Stricklam . Ieiith ot Mrs. K.' L. Smith. We are grieved to announce the death of Mrs. Ed. L. Smith,- which occurred this morning about 7 o'clock, at the boarding house of Mr. John Watson, after an illness of only a few days. Her husband, who was on f rx in t.hp lntPTPt nf fpra Z I. Lyon k Co , arrived at his wife's bedside yesterday morniner. in response to a telegram announcing her serious illness. Mrs. Smith leaves two children, a little girl aoout o years old and a little Doy, about 4 years old.

Darnall ofhciating. Veritas and Alphoneous. Editors Plant: In the Daily San of the Cth inst., I published an article under the caption of "What was promised and how it turned out facts to consider," wherein I took the liberty to discuss, in a general way; the results, morally and pecun- anly, of a two years' trial of local option in Durham. After hiving watched the operation of said law. and having become thoroughly con vinced that it was an unqualified I t t i ,.,T t -ttcmpteu to uy o. x ut- i ininnii'ii Tr pnniinn mven t tt o ynrzvi twn i ":hiPl w c" " y loa-enerai discussion ot the question, and so .l a. . a. i n r l l3 I have had information, no in- .V1' V?" covered anything in that article which, would in any wise justify, a personal attack upon the author. There is one fanatic, however, who evidently thinks otherwise. He therefore rises up in his aasumed horror and in the most cowardly man ner, viz.: by inuendo attempts to publicly brand me as an infidel. "Now, in the names of all the gods at oncet" who is this "Alpho neus ?" Does his record warrant him in rushing iuto print with a purpose to attempt to stigmatize anybody? There once lived a man whose name was .Virgil. He wrote a book, and in that book he advises those who live in glass houses not to throw stones. Alphoneus, either ignorant of the fact that such advice had ever been given, or wilfully disregarding it, has thrown the fatal stone, and if perchance his house should be shat tered, he only has himself to blame. I repeat, does his record warrant him in throwing stones ? In Parrish's warehouse, only a few months ago, a certain great revivalist preached a most powerful sermon on "Conscience, Record, God." Did Al phoneus hear that sermon? If so, the ordeal through which he passed must have been terrible indeed. "The battles, the sieges, the fortunes he has passed" must have passed him in horrible review. - Messrs. Editors, I confess tliat I am a sinner and my record in that concluded ox fourth page.
