If you would see Durnu-----.~.she il
and her various industrial, educational
and social institutions, we bid you look
around you, take notes of what you see,
and my prediction is that you will re-
turn to your homes impressed with the
fact, like Sheba's Queen, "the half about
| Durham has never been told" But a
| word in conclusion. The stranger may
inquire what has done all this? Let me
| take you into my confidence and tell you
''The unity of the,people OF Durham" :"
Sum it up in one short sentence These
people have learned the lesson and prac-
tically applied it-"In union there is
strength" These magnificent business
schemes were set on foot and carried out
by Durham men, and Durham brain and
| Durham muscle intelligently applied have
| brought about these grand results With
sagacity unsurpassed and with push and
vim and energy hardly ever equallcd in
the South her business men have over
come by almost superhuman effort the
obstacles in the way Of her progress
The people of Durham have worked and
they have prayed for Durham, end be-
| hold the results, Does the cause of edu-
cation andAtnosc culture nsetP assistance,
Durham extends helping hand and be-
hold! Trinity College becomes Dur
ham institution by The princely donations
of the rich men who made their own for
tunes by honest endeavor, and know
how and when to give. Are more indus
tries needed to help her honest yeomanry
by honest toll 10 gain their daily breadg

ence ere you leave US for your homes.
Permit me to add as indicating what
The City of Durham is in the estimation Of
her own people. The site of that cotton
factory, covering a little over an acre
and as you see unimprOved, was twenty
wears ago worsh exactly the sum of ten
one thousand times that much for it, and
bought it for 1000.
May we not hope then aye, may we
not confidently believe that what has
been accomplished IN the past by the
CITY Of Durham is but the business dawn
of that grand day when this young city,
now strong in tbe~Tigor Of her business
manhood putting forth renewed energy,
III nf har frln
having then and not ill then, reached
the goal of her ambition, stand in the
MONDAY splendOr Of higher and still no
bier and grander achievements.
The Editorial Profession.
Response by II. \. London. Editor of the Pitts
, bOrO Record.
Mr. London's speech was gem Of elo
quence In clear-cut, well rounded sen
tences, he charmed all listeners while Ia
spoke of the evolution Of the editor anC
: of the important relation that he sus
tains toward the state and society; bu
like the first speaker, he failed to furnisl
: copy for the printer: hence this brie
notice.

By an unfortunate misunderstanding
! of the subject, an additional letter II
was added to the last syllable Of the wor

Mr.. Tomlinson made neat speech in re

, glance at the industries that are tn
