The Durham daily globe., 1890-10-30

MIR. w. I'll. Rogers, one of the most
conservative and leyel-headed men in
Durham voices the sentiments of THE
GLOBE on the question of whether mer-
chants should enjoy part of their own
sidewalks. Many other el-headed and
conservative men do not hesitate to de-
nounce the Blue-law which should be re-
pealed.
of Durham's liberality the Winston
Daily says: DIR. r. l.. Alternately received
over thousand dollars in Durham yes
terday for the rebuilding of Rutherford
College. Durham should be congratu-
lated on its generosity. Although it is
helping to build great college in its
own limits it does not forget other OBJ
jects of charity.
Married, at the home of the brides
father yesterday evening at 6 o. clock, Mr.
Grin Belvin to Miss Carrie Farthing. The
groom is with the popular firm of Earth
ing & Duke, and the bride is sister of
Mr.. G. G. Farthing, a member of the
same firm. The young people are well
known in Durham and have many friends
to wish them bon voyage
A new real estate firm, anticipating
the boom that is sure TO come makes an
announcement in this papaer to-day.
Messrs Boone and Pamplin are we'll and
favOrably known in this community and
strangers will find them courteous gen.
tlemen to deal with. When casting about
for real estate bargains, do not fail to see
this firm in the court house.
We see from the Henderson Toma-
hawk that Mr.. George Rose, junior part
ner of the firm of Davis & Rose, was mar
ried to-day to Miss Martha Perry, both
of that place. THE GLOBE has not been
able to learn particulars, but knowing the
contracting parties to be among the lead
ers and favorites of Henderson's social
circles, we run no risk in stating that it
was a brilliant affair.
The Western Union is giving itself
airs, and having decided that it's present
quarters are not sufficiently pretentious
for growing metropolis, are moving its
it is now, on Corcoran street. Messrs.
E. B. Hall and N. r. Young, of Raleigh,
came down to-day and are making the
transfer. They expect in few days to
have the new quarters open and ready
for business.
In THEGIoBE's write-up of the Bob
bin and Shuttle mill this paper made a
mistake as to figures. The article should
have read: There are 100 machines and
they produce $4,000 bobbins a day, 900
spools day, 1000 speeder bobbins, 1000
twister bobbins, 1000 skewers and IL
dozen shuttles day. The machinery is
the latest improved and it is a mystery to
see it in motion And if Dr. Watkins
will forgive us we will be more particu-
lar in the future.
THE GLOBE acknowledges an invita-
ton to attend the second semi-annual
public debate between the Dialetic and
Philanthropic literary societies, at Chapel
Hill, Saturday evening, November 1st,
compliments Of w. B. Guthrie. The
question for discussion is "Should there
be an educational or property qualifica-
ton for franchise" Since we are taught
that "out of the mouth of babes comes
WISDOM THE GLOBE hopes that these
intrepid young orators may find the solu-
ton of problem which has for so long
perplexed the minds of politicians and
statesmen.
THE GLOBE is glad to welcome to
Durham Mr. A. A. Dickson and family
who moved here this week and come with
the intention of locating permanently
amongus Mr. Dickson is brother Of Mr..
Samuel Dickson, who has long been iden-
| tilted with the town, and who induced his
has been living for some years past, and
come to Durham, where his children can
enjoy the educational advantages which
our superior school system offers. And
this is but one of the many families who
will, for the same reason become citizens
of this growing city before twelve more
months have rolled around.
| Col. j. w Dowd sends word TO this
office that he has made arrangements fol
Alex. Walker, our tobacco editor, to &C
company Col. Pete Briggs in his great
parachute and balloon leap. But THE
GLOBE interposes an objection right here
Our tobacco editor shall not do anything
of the kind, and remain on the staff Of
this paper. If he proposes TO go into
the parachute jumping business, then hi;
connection as tobacco editor of this pa
per ceased years ago. He is not th'
man who has written about the crop. i
he will refuse, with scorn, all OF Colone
Pete Briggs offers to parachute, then h'
remains the honored tobacco editor anC
upright citizen. Colonel Dowd woulC
like to entice an old man astay, but IN
can't come il on US.
