A BIG HOUSE.
Big in Building, Big in Business, Big
in Everything.


Special Correspondence of The Chronicle.
DURHAM, July 14.-Gradually under
the peculiar management of Mr.. Smith,
the house-mover, the double buildings of
Messrs. w. Duke, Sons & Co., which stood
nearest the railroad, have been moved
back 173 feet, and work in the buildings
has not been suspended ar. hour. They
will be moved finally a total distance of
800 feet. On the spot formerly occupied
by these buildings, the deep foundation
of the four story new brick factory has
been laid, and as many hands are at work
on it as can work there. This new fac
tory will contain million and a half of
bricks, it will be 1S4x74 feet, and will
give the firm in all a foor-space Of 100,
900 square feet. 1t will be completed and
tower on top in which huge clock with
ground glass faces, which will be illumi
mated at night will strike the hours. This
will be great convenience to the work
ing people of Durham, many of whom
rise and work and retire and keep account
of the hours only by the factory bells and
whistles. One end Of the new building
will be used as cigarette factory, and
the other for smoking tobacco. Two
forty horse power boilers will be put up to
supply steam and power. Along the
whole length of the top of the new build
ing will be an immense reservoir.
The Duke Tobacco Works which hitherto
have made only an exceedingly modest
appearance for so large a concern, will
then make show somewhat in proper
ton to the business done. 1t will be
handsome and substantial addition to
Durham, and building of which any city
might be proud.
In the Midsummer number of Frank
Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper there is a
page which contains view of the new
building, portrait of Mr.. W. Duke, and
characteristic views of work in the fac
tory, which is accompanied with an inter
esting descriptive article.

Do Summer Resorts Pay?

To THE CHRONICLE:-It is cause of
frequent congratulation that the throngs
of summer visitors to North Carolina
especially to the West bring and spend
so many hundreds of thousands of dol
lars among our people. But like every
other blessing, this also is attended by a
very serious curse. 1t has given me great
pain to observe at most of the resorts that
are becoming at all fashionable, that the
presence and manners of visitors who are
rich, or who at least for the time being
spend money as if they were rich, are de-
moralizing our young people. l noticed
that the very clerks in the stores over
dressed and overornamented and over
aired themselves in imitation Of the
seasons style" They wait on you in
too great haste in order to rush out to see
who is passing and what new thing they
can see When poor folks get to playing
rich-I feel mighty bad for that commu-
nifty.
Can places that are Fashionable sum-
mer resorts ever have an entirely sensible,
well-balanced and economical native citi-
zenship2 / would not say that they can
not. But am coming to have very seri-
Gus doubts.

Heartily Supports Cleveland.


The Times will heartily support Gov
ernor Cleveland. In opposing Mr.. Blaine
it finds itself already upon impregnable
ground and in excellent company. Shall
the next President be a Grover Cleveland,
whom honest men respect, or James G.
Blaine, whom rogues love? This is the
supreme issue. 1t is not only in what he
clearly represents but in what he distinctly
opposes that Grover Cleveland is strong
before the American people. Favored as
he is by the right thinking elements of
both the Democratic and Republican par
ties, it is noteworthy and potent ad-
vantage to Grover Cleveland as candi-
date that he has incurred the bitter hos
tility of the worthless, disreputable and
dangerous members of his own party.
Tammany hates him. Butler sees no
good in him. Could a candidate have
stronger recommendation than this in the
opinion of voters whose political action
is shaped solely by considerations of pub
lie Welfare?

THE BIGGEST COTTON PLANTER

In the World Interviewed by WASH
ington Correspondent of ''The Chron-
icle.S
Special Correspondence of The Chronicle.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 15.-Col. Ed :
mund Richardson, President of the Worlds
Exposition at New Orleans, a native of
Rockingham county, n. c., and the largest
cotton planter in America, and the largest
in the world, except the Khedive of Egypt
(who has all the plantations in his realm),
was here recently, and he told me that
the agricultural exhibit at the Philadelphia
Centennial did more to advance the inter-
ests of cotton cultivation than anything
that had preceded it. The Atlanta Ex-
position gave the cotton interest new
impetus by introducing improved ma
chinery and implements on Southern plant
ations, and by the information it impaired
in great variety of forms to the plant
ers. Cotton goods manufactured at Lis
bon, Portugal, for the African trade, cost
fourteen cents per yard, while the same
fabrics made in Southern mills cost but
eight and half cents. This is fact of
great Importance to the commerce of this
country, but especially to the Southern
spinners.
Col. Richardson says that the introduce
tion of improved implements and ma
chinery at the South has enabled the plant
ers to increase their acreage of cotton,
and at the same time to reduce the num-
Der of their field hands and their teams
One consequence of this is that there is a
great surplus of laborers, and one need of
the South is new avenues of employment
for them. He has in his cotton mills at
Wesson, Mississippi, $50 employees, of
whom all but one hundred are women
and children. Mills located in the cotton
belt, where food Of every kind is sold at
very low prices, and where there is no
lack whatever Of laborers eager to be en-
ployed, must be successful under prudent
management, and as every manufacturing
establishment started creates demand
for agricultural products in its vicinity, it
becomes powerful factor for good to the
entire community.
The main building Of the New Orleans
Exposition will be finished ON the 18th
of September, and Horticultural Hall
will be ready by the 1st of the same
month The chief engineer of the Mexi-
can government is now making contracts
for building of iron and glass in which
the exhibits from that Republic will be
made; and plat Of ground will contain
a complete representation of the fora of
Mexico. Mexican gardeners are now at
work on this marvellous project.

For the Democratic Ticket.

From the Ne,O York Herald (Ind.)
The Herald puts at the head of it's col,
umns the Democratic ticket for President
and Vice President of the United States.
We congratulate the Democratic party
upon the work of its Convention at Chi
cago, and the opportunity it presents to
the American people through union Of
patriotic voters, by whatever name they
call themselves, Democrats, Independents,
Labor Reformers, or whatsoever else, to
redeem the country from the disgrace and
peril to which the Republican party has
plotted to expose it by the thoroughly bad
nomination of Blaine and Logan.

Loved Because of his Enemies.

From the Nea0 York Evening Post (2ep)
AS General Bragg finely and happily
said in seconding his nomination, 1--WE
love him most of all for the enemies he
has made" The hostility of Tammany
and Butler, and in fact of whatever is
basest and most demagogic in his own
own party, is of itself tribute of which
any public man might well be proud.

But the great point of uncertainty is the

date, and how much will that amount to (?
Will it overbalance the detection of the
Tammany workingmen and politicians in

Cleveland to carry New York? Will it
bring over to him other States that are
now doubtful?

THE OUTLOOK.
EVERY INDICATION POINTS TO
CLEVELAND'S ELECTION.
What the Leading Newspapers and
Prominent Men Say of the Demo-
cratic Nominations at Chicago.

w hat the Leading Newspapers and
prominent Men Say of the Demo-.
cratic Nominations at Chicago.
The doubt that was generally expressed,
as soon as BLAINE and LOGAN were nomi-
mated, of their ability to be elected is
now followed with general assurance Of
CLEVELAND and HENDRICKs's election. The
Independent Republican newspapers, such
as the Herald, the Times and the Eceniag
Post, Of New York, predict Democratic
success. The Herald and the Times un-
compromisingly support CLEVELAND. This
is unprecedented in the history Of Amcri
can politics, and gives much more than
mere partisan hope and enthusiasm. What
such paper as the New York World has
to say means little: it is the party whoop.
Whatever the New York Star says (Which
few men who respect themselves read)
never means anything. Whatever Tam
many may do will not now affect the re
suit. If Tammany accepts CLEVELAND,
all right. If Tammany fights CLEVELAND,
that very fact will win more votes for him
than Tammany can command. And, if
JOHN KELLY's days as boss will at once
be numbered.
All over the country the nominations
have been received with enthusiasm. The
usual party enthusiasm, of course, means
little to practical, sensible men, for we
had that when HANCOCK ran. But the
revolt of SO many leading Republican
journals and men, and their willingness to
support CLEVELAND does mean much: it
means change of parties in the White
House.
The condensed expressions of the press
may be found of interest:

Governor Cleveland was the choice of

than any other man. This will certainly

as much as the Independents believe.
