hour after the advertised time, owing to the fact
that the track had not been put in condition.
When this was done ii was still heavy, and the
Wheelmen fouGd that they had TO pull through
q track that was not calculated for fast time ard
exceedingly tiresome. That this viii become y
feature at the annual State Fair IS not doubted.

THE Monroe Express in reviewing
the fitness of number of gentlemen
for the Democratic gubernatorial
nomination in 1888, says the following
about our present popular Lieutenant
Governor
We hear also the name of Maj. C. NJ. Sted-
man mentioned in this connection. He is so
well known by reason of the general canvass of
before the people of the State as the Democratic
candidate for Lieutenant Governor, we need
not speak of his knightly qualities. The
democracy of the State would gladly follow
him to victory and the sixth district especially
would honor him with a tremendous vote.

DURHAM has indeed sustained a Sc
rious loss in the recent fire that de-
stroyed so large an amount of valua-
BILE property. Sympathy and con-
dolence goes out from every North
Carolina heart, to the plucky town,
which has always risen proudly and tri-
umphantly, from the ashes of its former
confagrations. 1t is an i'll wind that
blows nobody any good, and Durham
will more than likely profit by her
big fire. Her business men and man
ufacturers will now bestir themselves
TO set on foot system of water works,
by the early establishment Of which
the recent calamity might have been
averted.

A Prize.

Another lottery wave passed over New Or
leans, last Tuesday and in its course struck Mr..
Adolph L. Beltran, son of our well-known fell
low citizen, R. Beltran, Esq, commission mer-
chant on Decatur street.
The blow was severe one and it struck
Apolph so Unexpectedly that he has not entire
" recovered his senses, though in possession of
more cents than he ever had in his check cred
career.
On Wednesday, with dollarous expression
in his eve, he visited the office of the Louisiana
State Lottery Company and inquired for the
root doctor. This singular inquiry excited the
curiosity of the office and he was invited to a
seat in the left-hand ward.
His pulse being felt, an extraordinary con-
traction of the muscles was discerned On re-
ducing the same, lottery ticket was revealed
bearing the number 1852. a quick diagno-
sis of his case was made. The lottery wave
had given him, in the drawing on Nov, 8, for
a one dollar investment the sum Of fifteen
thousand dollars.
The "root of all evil in the form OF very
hard cash was at once administered and MIR.
Betrans singular inquiry was explained.
III a pleasant chat with the writer, the for
tunate holder (who is apparently 81 years OF
age) stated that he is native of New Orleans,
and is now working in the labratory of the

accumulation OF wealth will in way affect
his resolution to master his adopted profession

The Richmond and Danville Rail
road Co. has experienced quite a
change in its management. The Loga n
interest has gained control of the West
Point Terminal and has also secured
a majority of the stock in the R.& D.
It required five million dollars to
effect the trade. The Richmond Dis
patch says it is understood that Col.
Buford will be given responsible po-
sition, and that MrSulley will be cleo
ted president of the Termlni Company,
and probably Of the consolidated COM
panies. The combined trackage of
these two roads is about $500 miles,
and if these gentlemen carry out their
plans as announced by them they will
start an era in railroading in the
South in the way of complete trunk
line that will push on into new fields
and prove powerful competitor to
other proposed lines.

IT is said that the Civil Service
Commissioners propose to adopt a
plan for popularizing the system at
points where little or nothing is
known of its practical workings. The
plan is to hold four examinations an
nually in interior cities and towns in
the various States, 80 that the people
in the rural districts may have the
same advantage in competitive ex-
aminations as the inhabitants of lar
ger cities.

claim to know whereof they speak
that strong effort will be made by
labor men to secure an extra session
of the Fiftieth Congress Immediately
after the expiration of this Congress

that petitions are being circulated
among the laboring men of the coun-

it. The extra session, it is proposed

will do Davie county unceasing good.
His last issue of the Times contained
some pretty sensible and vigorous ad-
vice to the people to vote for the SUBJ

a moment that with such proposition
before them the good people of Davie

mont Oct. 9th, 1880, and was Sc years,
one month and thirteen days old. His
father was Rev. WILLIAM ARTHUR, a
Baptist, and native of Ireland.
The funeral took place last Monday
with appropriate ceremonies, the re-
mains being buried in Albany. Pres
ident CLEVELAND and portion of
his Cabinet with delegation from the
Senate and House of Representatives
attended his funeral. The White
House and all the department build
ings in Washington were draped in
mourning.
President ARTHUR was undoubted.
ly remarkable man, and few men in
political history have been placed in
SO responsible and embarrassing a sit
uation as that which he occupied upon
the death Of GARFIELD. His con-
sentative views, his great knowledge
of men, his rare political segacity, his
firm but fair and impartial character
istics, and his gentle and popular
manners, enabled him to grasp the
reins of government and take control
of public affairs at one of the most
critical periods in the Nations history.
During his occupancy of the Presi-
dental Office, Mr.. ARTHUR won the
respect and confidence of the people.
He bore himself with dignity in his
official relations, and his private life
was marked by a refinement and
charm of manner that graced the
White House.
His name will be remembered by
the American people long, long after
that of the FRAUD HAYES will have
sunk into an obscurity, so deep that
not even the future historian will feel
justified in restricting it.

Although it had been generally
known for months that ex-President
Arthur was in failing health, and
there was but little expectation that
he would ever again enjoy health and
strength, yet the suddenness of his de-
cease gives a shock of sorrow and re-
greet to the whole country. He died
at his residence In New York City on
the 18th from a stroke of apoplexy /;
he had been suffering for some time
with a complication of diseases. He
was the twenty-frst President of the
