Governor Hill, of New York, has
signed a bill providing, for the or
ganization of a State Naval Militia
force. Our State needs just such a
force. . It will have to come sooner
or later, and the sooner it is the bet
ter it will be for the State it we are
to utilize our broad expanse of oys
ter and fish grounds in the eastern
waters.
Positively the oldest living Ma
son in the world has been discov
ered. Re is Robert I. Chester, of
Tennessee, one of the Cleveland elec
tors in 1884. He was born in 'Ten
nessee in July, 1703, and will com
plete his ninety -sixth year next
month. He joined the Masonic or
der in Tennessee in 1814, when he
was twenty-one years of age. He is
still an enthusiastic member. Mr.
Chester served in the war of 1812.
Mr. Chester carried the Presidential
vote of Tennessee in 1884 to the
President of the Senate at Washing
ton. He is still strong and energetic,
though he has the rheumatism now

In answer to 1I12 question, what
shall we do with our penitentiary
convicts ? the Roanoke News suggests
that a guano factory be established
at the penitentiary and the fertilizer
there made be supplied to the far
mers of the State, at a price a little
in excess of the cost of manufacture.
There is plenty of material in the
State for this. Phosphate rock,
cotton seed, fish scrap and other ma
terial of the kind abounds in the
State, and could be utilized at the
penitentiary for the manufacture of
guano at a nominal cost, compared
to present nriccs of guano. Besides
the employment of the convicts in
this manner would not allect labor
in any particular that we can see,
but would be using them in a field
that is comparatively untouched in
4 r
the State.

Don't miss the grand concert
bv the Durham School of Music, at
Stokes Hall, to-night. Admission
is free, but, as stated yesterday,
seats are reserved for members of
the St. Cecilia Society and the pa
trons of the school.
Let every Confederate soldier
in the county who is able to do so,
come to Durham on the 4th of July
and take part in the county organi
zation, looking to a permanent home
for the needy veterans. This is a
worthy undertaking. Encourage it
by your presence.
Twenty or twenty-five thousand
dollars might have been secured for
the right of way on Peabody street,
but nothing was received for it and
the damage to the street as a thor
oughfare for vehicles grows worse
and worse, and we expect it will be
almost completely ruined in some
places before the end is reached.

Mr. Tracy's Address,
We did not reach the courthouse
to-day until) near the close of the
address of Mr. Harry Tracy, Na
tional Lecturer of the farmers Alli
ance, and therefore cannot attempt
a detailed report of what was said.
We have heard the address very
highly complimented, one gentle
man remarking it was the finest
speech he ever heard. There were
present quite a number of farmers,
a few ladies land several of our citi
zens. Mr. Tracy delivered a private
lecture to members of the Alliance
this afternoon. His visit will likely
inspire the lAlliance men with re-
newed zeal

The Grade
to Keinaiii As It Is.
It seems to be the general impres-
sion
among
our citizens that the
grade of the Durham & Northern
railroad in front of the-..Hotel Clai-
born should be made the same , or
about the same, as the grade of the
Richmond tfc Danville road in that
locality. Tie reasons urged for this
'are that the appearance would be
better and the obstruction and dan
ger to vehicles traveling the street
would be less. We understand.
fhowever, that the Commissioners.
last night, decided that the grade
should remain as it is, which is
about two feet higher than that of
vflhe other tracks in that vicinity.
This action of the Commissioners is
to be regretted.

able distance up the street, and ihe

matter and the following action was
taken i:
