TO DO AWAY WITH SMOKE.
Two Propositions to Equip Pumping st,

Two Propositions to Equip Pumping Sta
tions With Consumers.
Two propositions were presented to Sc
lect Council for the privilege of equipping
the Bedford avenue and Heron Hill pump
ing stations with smoke consumers. One
was presented by Mr.. Heating for the
Western Smoke Preventer Company The
proposition is to erect the machines at S175
per boiler, or 81, ,925 for all the batteries,
guaranteeing saving of fuel, and that 80
per cent of smoke would be avoided, and if
not the machines will be removed at the
expense of the company and the boilers re-
stored TO their former condition.
Mr.. Paul had a somewhat similar propo-
sition from Charles Gearing The latter
asks the privilege of erecting smoke con-
sumers at both stations, experimenting first
at Bedford avenue, where it is proposed to
test the cost of coal for two weeks and then
submit the machines to two weeks test
He guaranteed saving of coal and the
consumption of smoke in so great degree
that he agreed to accept as payment in full
the saving for seven months in the cost of
fuel Both propositions were referred to
the Committee on Public Works

WHAT IS BEING DONE.

The statement of the foreign commerce
of the country for the month of Septem-
Der is a showing of the most encouraging
character. The exports of merchandise
were to the value of $sO,5OO,OOO, exceed
ing the corresponding month of last year
to the amount of $4,000, 900, and being
the largest for any month within the last
six years. The value of the imports for
September was not so great as for the
same month last year but the two move
ments compared show an excess Of ex-
ports for the month Of $21 600, 900, and
the net result of both movements for the
month was over $2s, 0 5000 in favor of
the United States, as compared with the
corresponding month of last year. The
change in the foreign trade Balance has
been most noticeable during the three
months ending with September, though
it dates from last spring, and for the year
to September 80 the exports exceeded
imports to the value Of over Of over $685.
O00,0 600. In view of the certain demands
of Europe and our ability to supply them
it is clear that the United States will be a
creditor nation for at least two years to
come, with steadily Increasing balances
in its favor for at least half of that time.
One of the s~hrewdest observers of the
course of financial and business affairs
remarks that if the prevailing conditions
fail to give al impetds to every industry
and every branch Of trade in this coun-
try, 1t will be because there is something
radically wrong in our financial and
economic autonomy. There is nothing
in the present financial situation to inter
fere with the industrial and commercial
improvement reasonably TO be expected
from the assured foreign demand for our
products, unless 1t be the effect upon
confidence of threatened silver legisla-
ton In the direction of free coinage.
Whether reasonable or not, there is a
pessimistic feeling regarding this matter

AS TO BUSINESS.

THE GLOBE last night distinctly stated
that some of the police had been a little
bit slow In administering their star lit
thing called Duty.
To-day this Office has been the centre
of attraction for policemen.
They came in a general way to deny
that they had any knowledge of the beer
drinking and the crackers which were
eaten and swallowed and perhaps de-
voured by the giddy girls with sawdust
legs. "
Mr.. WOOD called and Mr.. SCARLETT
called and MR.. LEA called and they all
had a great statement to make.
THE GLOBE belongs to that particular
school which believes that COLONEL
DAVID, who said call men are ~liars," was
correct, and it never named a man.
All the policemen so far reported have
denied, denounced and damned the miser.
able report which has swirled and whirled
through space.
They say with one voice that they
were not in it.
This may or may not be true.
THE GLOBE despises an informer and
SO it refused yesterday to print the name
of the policeman unless the fellows who
reported him would give an affidavit
that they saw him while on duty drink
beer.
This they have refused to do, and we
suppose that this should settle the case
(which has called forth so many Painting
heart burns.
The police force of Durham has much
more to do than monkey with ladies, all,
beautiful ones, with sawdust padded
legs.
The force says hat it has not mon
keyed and that perhaps ends it.
THE GLOBE only prints the news when
news is news, and it again says that it
was Informed that a policeman drank
beer with a crowd of ladies.
That ends our connection with it and
we do not care whether we believe it or
not. The police instead of rushing to a
newspaper Office should go to their chief
and explain their conduct.
We have nothing to do with it except
that we openly point out moral delin-
~quencies.
That is all

The Omaha Bee says:
THE DURHAM, North Carolina, GLOBE
has just passed its first anniversary un-
der the management of Mr.. AL FAIR
BRoTHER, and the host of friends of that
able and fearless Journalist will be pleased
to learn of his great success. The field
of southern journalism was unfamiliar
TO Mr.. FAIRBRoTHER when he entered
it, and newspaper methods are somewhat
different there from those in the West,
but he speedily made his presence felt,
as he would be sure to do anywhere, and
no editor in North Carolina is now better
known than FAIRBRoTHER and no paper
is more generally read, at least by jour
~nalists, than THE GLOBE. The Bee, in
whose service Mr.. FA1RBRoTHER won
much Of his reputation as an exception
ally bright and brainy journalist, heartily
congratulates him upon his material sue
cess as well as upon his achievement of
merited fame in a section of the country

HOW 1T GROWS.

Over forty of the leading business
houses Of Durham have taken space in
the big special edition of THE GLOBE
there are many others still to see. a..
By referring to our ledger we find that
only twenty-six were in on the four
weeks deal this time last year.
And this is only one instance in which
the growth in the volume of business and
increased strength of THE GLOBE is dem
o%nstrated. In other words, this paper is
no longer an experiment but a healthy
and prosperous institution.

THE WEATHER BUREAU.
Its Phenomenal Improvement Under the
Department of Agriculture.

Its Phenomenal Improvement Under the
Department of Agriculture.
On July 1, 1891, the weather bureau
became a part of the department Of agri-
culture, and was organized with a view
of carrying out the express intention OF
congress to especially develop and ex-
ture. State and territorial services were
organized in Arizona, California, Flor
ida, Georgia, Montana, New Mexico,
North Dakota, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia,
| Washington, West Virginia and Wyo-
ming, thus covering every state and ter
ritory in the United States, except
Idaho.
While the organization of the new ser
vices has been in progress much atten-
ton was devoted to a general supervis-
ion of the work of those CO operating
services previously established, the de-
sire being to greatly increase the num-
Der of meteorological observers, and to
effect a more thorough dissemination of
current weather crop information among
those classes of people most likely to he
benefited thereby. Nearly 500 volun-
tary meteorological stations have been
established since July /, those in operation
on June 80, 1921, being less than 1900
and at date nearly $500.
The reports from voluntary observers
serve a two fold purpose: For agricultu-
raj societies and experiment stations,
giving them accurate meteorological data
on which to rely in dealing with expert
ments on regulation, etc, and the reports
Of rainfall, temperature, sunshine, etc,
are utilized weekly in the weather crop
bulletins as standard meteorological fea-
lures for the state or territory, while the
compiled monthly conditions are used
in various ways in establishing the CHI
matalogy Of the sections, and as records
for courts, physicians, engineers, etc.
The most practical position of the ex-
elusive work of the several local services
is the issue Of the weekly weather crop
bulletins. These are sources of reliable
information for all interested in a~gricul-
ture, following up the season from week
to week so that an excellent estimate
can be made at any time relative to the
crops of any county, state, or the country
at large. These bulletins have a thor
ough dissemination in all the states and
territories, and are of very great practi-
cal benefit to all interests. The National
Bulletin issued at Washington City dur
ing the growing season deals with the
weather of the week throughout the
country consisting of charts showing
the departures of temperature and rain
fall, the table of seasonal and weekly de-
partures of like data, besides giving a
discussion of such charts and tables,
with edited kilograms received from the
several local services showing the actual
condition of crops and the effect of the
weeks weather thereon.

Prohibition VS.. License.

Wilmington Messenger.l
II is said that in he western states
there are more saloons to the people
where prohibition prevails than in south
ern states where local option prevails.
The Chicago Tribune gives the figures
10 prove this, based upon the returns Of
the internal revenue department. But
| these figures are no doubt misleading.
There may be more saloons in prohibit
tion northern than in local option or Ii
| cense southern states, but that is because
the north is more given to drunkenness
than the south is. There is no southern
state in which local option prevails. It
is local option only in places. Here are
the Tribune's figures:
prohibition States.
Iowa, saloon to every 455 people
Kansas, saloon to every S23 people
Vermont. saloon to every S5 people
Maine, saloon to every 72 people
LICENSE n LOCAL OPTION STATES.
| Alabama, saloon to every 1,1s3 people
Arkansas, saloon to every LILO people
South Carolina, saloon to every 1853 people
Mississippi, saloon to every LOTT people
North Carolina, 1 saloon to every 1.0G7 people
North Carolina, according to these
figures, is more bibulous than the other
| Southern States. Drinking is carried to
much excess in this state, but W. doubt
if it is really more than in it's sister
| Southern States. There are two evils
that need to be watched and cured if
| Observation-Disclosures and illiteracy.
The drinking habit tax is the people more
than the schools and churches tax them
put together, we have no doubt.
SENATOR JOE BLACKBURN, of Ken

AN ATTEMPT ATT ROBBERY.

AN ATTEMPT ATT ROBBERY.
Mr.. Holman of the water works
company which worked this city
called to day with a young man who
wants a franchise for sewerage.
The Globe told the young man
that he was out of his latitude. II
his company can build US sewerage
and live off of it, this city a build
sewerage and not rob the people.
This paper is disposed to treat all
new corners %squarely, but it is not
disposed to invite municipal robbers
to nest here.
If the f. low who wants to build
US sewerage Will submit to some
thing decent-if be wants a job, he
may be in it-but the miserable sys-
TEN Of letting out public works has
been too long On.
We know that Mr.. Leo Heartt,
Mr.. Herbert Eass, Mr.. Mangum and
the other men will. not allow a
stranger to come into the town and
do the town up as the water works
did.
Mr.. Holman is in very poor bust
ness. His concern robbed this town
blind and now he comes introducing
people to rob it blind again.
The sewerage system can be con-
trolled by the city. There is not a
city in the world but what controls
its own sewerage system, and the
wall-eyed mar who talks to you can
not name it, if he says that his sys-
TEN is popular.
All he wants is to come here and
rob these people-We believe SO.
IF this town needs sewerage we
will buy it and we will pay for it and
The Globe must help in that bust
ness.
The scheme is fraudulent and if
the town commissioners vote for it
or recognize it there will be some
fun, and this paper will help make it.
