A SIG HOTEL.
Durhamites Enthusiastic in Re-
gard 10 an Important Enter
a

| Il II tHOs
Durham must have a big no,
tel. Durham will have a big
hotel. The first of these propo,
sitions has been apparenta long
time. The second was satisfac.
torily settled last Thursday
night. The first night in the
new year was a good time to
take such an enterprise in hand,
but it was not a favorable time,
in point Of weather, for the
beginning Of any important I'M
dertaking. Nevertheless the
court room was well filled with
all classes and conditions of
Durhamites; and all were brim
full Of enthusiasm for the big
hotel.
There was a great deal OF
talking; but then people must
talk, and it takes talk as we as
work to build hotels or do any
thing else. Words and actions,
suitably combined, arouse the
Indifferent TO enthusiasm. So
it was at the hotel meeting.
Citizens expatiated on Durham's
lack of adequate hotel accom-
modations and the prime neces-
sity of building a big, modern ho-
tel that will be a credit to the city
and afford entertainment and
comfort to visitors. Then they
said how much they would put
in such an enterprise. The lat
ter remarks ranged from $25 to
$1,000, and in the aggregate
to something ike $l5,-
600, which almost everybody
thought was a fine beginning
to what will be a fine hotel.
The next thing in order was
the appointment of a committee
to cooperate with the Common
wealth Clubs committee in
soliciting subscriptions to a pro-
position to contribute to a
bonus of $25, 900 too competent
party who will erect a 500, 900
hotel, or to raise $4,000 to go
into an $4,000 stock company, |
the other $4,000 to be put in by |
Chicago capitalists who will
lease the hotel for five years. |
The committee went right to |
work the next day, and when
they met the same afternoon to |
compare notes, the result was
gratifying.
The canvass has been progress
sing satisfactorily from day to
lay and some big subscriptions
nave been made; but in order
% keep the public curiosity on
Sip-toe until next Friday night,
he committee will not let the
newspapers tell what it is doing.
This much is certain: Durham
S just about as certain to have
/ fine hotel as the earth is to
make its diurnal revolutions
his year.
Come to the meeting Friday
night, ,and see how the thing
works. @

Garland n. Webb.

Readers OF THE RECORDER are
familiar with this name. Mr..
Webb was at one time one of
the editors Of this paper, butt his
career as a newspaper man was
comparatively brief. He grace
fully ornamented the editorial
tripod for a season, and then as
gracefully retired to devote all
his time and energy to the to-
bacco business. He was identi-
fled with Durham warehouses
eight years and became famil-
lar with every. detail of the
business. He then went to Win
ston, and during five years was
the auctioneer Of the Farmers
Warehouse.
At the opening of the present
season, the stockholders of the
0rinoco Warehouse, which is
one of the largest and best con-
structed in the state, appointed
a committee with instructions to
secure the very best men obtain
able TO take charge Of the ware
house. The requirements were
fulfilled admirably by engaging
Mr.. Webb, and with him, Mfr.
w. p. Watt, a gentleman Of
large experience in the business
at Reidsyille. This was indeed
a compliment to our former
townsman, but il was well be-
slowed, as the sequel shows.
The warehouse never did d bet
ter business than it has done
during the present season.
Since his removable Winston,
Mr.. Webb has built up a large
shipping trade from this section
by giving his personal atten-
ton 20 it, and, as a matter of
course, carried the trade with
him to tho 0rinoco, and still
holds it. He is DESTROYS of still
further extending that line Of
business among old friends and
readers Of The RECORDER; and
70 that end invites their atten-
tion to the Orinoco through the
advertising columns of this pa
per.

Colored Manual Training school

After the hotel matter had
been disposed of TO the satisfac-
tion Of everybody last Thursday
night. Rev. J. L. Chambers,
colored, called the attention OF
the meeting TO an important
matter that is Searches less
deserving of the consideration
Of Durhamites than any enter
prise which has enlisted their
sympathy or their cooperation
in many q day. He said that
the Legislature will establish a
manual training school for col
ored youths in order TO make
available an appropriation by
congress for thatpurpose. Sew
en- thousand five hundred dol
lars annually has been appro-
priated for the manual training
Of colored people, but IL will not
be available until the legisla-
ture shall havefounded a school
Of that character and made pro-
vision in part for its mainten-
ance. The governor and the
state superintendent of public
instruction will recommend that
the Legislature perform the part
required Of it. Within certain
geographical limitations, the
legislature will probably es.
tablish the school In the town
offering the strongest induce.
ments for IL. In view Of this.
the colored people Of Durham
have been bestirring themselves
TO secure the location of the
school In this city. They have
secured q valuable site Just out.
side Of town limits, and a liber-
u cash subscription. Through
Mr.. Chambers, they called upon
white citizens to assist them.
Owing to the lateness of the
hour, the matter was referred
70 q committee who will report
at the meeting Friday night.

Evidence Of Growth.

. 1t is easy to talk about the
growth of a town or the increase
Of its business, but backing up
the statement with figures is
quite a different thing. Durham,
however, has something sub
stantial behind her horn blow
ing, and she has a right to be
heard. The sales of internal
revenue stamps for tobacco last
year show that Durham was
moving while she was talking.
Here are the figures by months:
