WATER WORKS.
The Day has frequently urged
ufon the Oxford people the need of
the system of water works for our city.
We sliail continue to ring the changes
upon the subject.
. Henderson is soon to have water
works, and Oxford must not allow her
neighbor to distance her in the race of
progress.
We have demonstrated in these col
umns that the amount of money saved
in reduction of insurance rates would
almost, if notYjuite, offset the cost of
the improvement. There is absolute
necessity of a better supply of water to
battle with the fire fiend. At presents
in event of a visit of the destroying
element, we would be completely at
its mercy.
Plenty of water, too, vot;ld pro
mote tuc hcalthfulncss of the city,
and typhoid fever, the most dread dis
ease we have to contend with, would
be a thing unknown.
We must have water works in the
course of a few years, if not just now.
No town of Oxford's sire is complete..
in these days of advanced civilization,
without them. Oxford ought hot and
must not lag behind.
The editor of the Nans-Observer,
apropos of the proposition to colonize
the negroes on the plateau "of the
Congo, says : "In September, 1863,
President Lincoln made a speech to
the negroes in Washington. He told
them that if they should be emanci
pated, they could not expect to re
main in this country i That is our
recollection of what he said as report
ed in the morning paj)crs of that date;
for we happened to be a guest at the
'Old Capital at that time." Those
were prophetic words and the present
generation may witness their fulfill
ment. A new opera by Gilbert and Sulli
van has just been put uxn the New
York stage. 4 The Gondoliers' is
the name. The opinion of the critics
is that it does not rank with the best
worksof the distinguished colaborators,
but nevertheless is jolly and will prove
a success.

bcsr newspapers in the State, changed

you, brethren.
Our peopte have already agreed
just where that $110,000 public build
ing Mr. Brower is endeavoring to get
for Oxford should be located. Now,
let her come I
When New York wantsa new build
ing at the expense of the general gov
ernment money is no object. It is
proved to expend two million dol
lars just for the site for a new custom
house. It is only when the people of
the great metropolis have to ,go down
into their own pockets to pay for a
monument or a memorial arch or the
like that they kick.

Today North Carolina is suffering
particularly because she has made re'a-
tively little of late as a result of bad
crops. That is plain enough, and the
present deplorable condition 111. Eas
tern North Carolina is only a striking
illustration of the principle we are
seeking to make plain. While our in

giving work to high priced labor at
the North. The result is the South

some change is made, she will contin
