REAL ESTATE IN DURHAM.

Mr.. ". ". Fuller, Larger, Durham ::
When first went to Durham, about three
years ago, land was high, and there were
people who said that it could not remain
SO. Prices, they said, were fancy and
ephemeral. But every year it has contin-
ued to get higher, and there has been no
time when a man need sell land for as
little as he gave for it. Since the cotton
and woolen mills have been projected, real
estate has gone up with bound-at least
20 per cent. within the last thirty days

The Criminals Hard Road to Travel.
From the NeaU York Tribune

The discovery by New York detective,
that the mysterious prisoner Vincent. who
was arrested in St Louis last month while
trying to sell forged bonds, is well known
law breaker who has made trouble on two
continents, shows what a close watch is
kept on criminals in these days, and how
impossible it is for them long to conceal
their identity. Arrest, therefore, has
twofold dangers for them, since it means
punishment not only for the crime last
committed, but also for the unexpiated
misdeeds of years gone by. In this case
the forger will have fourteen years and
six months to serve after he has paid the
penalty of his crime in Missouri. If the
prison authorities do their duty by him as
thoroughly as the police have done, Vim
cent Will disappear from public view for &
score of wears at least

CHARCOAL SKETCHES.
JAMES EDWIN MOORE.

A scholarly man, of dignifed, and
withal clerical air, good lawyer and full
of vigor and impetuOsity, sensitive to the
warm impulses of friendship, as soft and
tender as a woman, eloquent and impas-
stoned in speech and action, a keen 10
gician. Now add to this any amount of
jefferson Democracy and bald head
and you have James Edwin Moore, of the
county of Martin. A Hardshell Baptist
by Inheritance, he sticks close to the faith
of the fathers The best lawyer in East
ern North Carolina he is not a judge be-
cause-well, because Mr.. Moore does not
train with the boys, and when the other
lawyers sit around the fire at the hotels in
the evenings after court and crack jokes
and smoke CIGARS he is at home with his
family preparing his cases for next day S
trial. Forty years DID, he has never
learned how to ask man to vote for him.
Of moderate means he lives in the plain
style of gentleman of taste and culture,
surrounded by loving family and many
warm personal friends.
If the Democrats want to nOmlnate a
man for Governor against whom no fac
| ton or section could be arrayed, the sub
ject of this sketch fills the bill. If he
| lived in England he would attain the high
est judicial station. If he lived in BOs-
ton he would be a popular and useful min
lister of the gospel Living where he does,
in these days of brass and self anoint-
ing he is simply useful citizen, fine
lawyer, good neighbor and a kind, low
| ing father and husband.
Mr. Moore is graduate of the Univer-
sity of North Carolina, was one Of Lees
veterans, and consented to serve one term
in the Legislature This is the extent OF
his political history. He possesses to a
wonderful degree the confidence of his
| fellow-citizens. and is North Carolinian
of whom the State may we'll be proud.

IT Is well known in planting circles that
Col. Spreckels with his plantations with
drew from the Planters Company last DC
tober, and may be regarded as opposed to
that Company and to its methods of doing
business. especially to its advocacy OF the
Treaty at Washington. On some accounts
this divergence Of views may be matter Of
regret, but on other grounds, not. The
planters. while perfectly satisfied with the
representation in Washington, which Is
made 10y the Hawaiian Minister, Mr.HAP
Carter, and his able coadjuter, Dr.J Mott
Smith, desired. fer this winter at least, to
secure the services there of one of then
own number, TO watch and report the ex-
act condition OF things It was thought
that public men would often talk more
freely with one who Is not a government
official. For this end, Col. Spalding who
was understood to be on the eve of visiting
the United States with his family, was au.
thorized by the Planters Company to re
main IN Washington during the present
session. IL was believed that this open
advocacy Of the treaty against the attacks
made upon II by interested or misinformed
persons, was more honorable, and in all
respects better than what Is usually termed
lobbying, by professional lobbyists. The
result it IS firmly believed viii Justify this

the opponents OF the treaty, that it serves
