The misrepresentation, started by the

ing in condemnation of the force bill is
still on it's travels. The latest one to pass
it off is J. S. Carr, of Durham. Inter
viewed in Washington, he said:

THE DRY MOON.

If there is al ything in this world that
should be suddenly and energetically and
everlastingly kicked over the dashboard
of the chariot OF truth, that thing is Su-
perstition.
Superstition g~rissly-bald and wall
eyed; superstition seductive and out of
place. Men believe in all manner of
things, out most all men, and some wo-
men, too, believe in moon signs. At )
o'clock yesterday evening a gentleman
absolutely devoid of guile looked the old
man square in the face and said
"1ou remember, l called your atten-
ton to the fact that the new moon the
other day was a dry moon; that it changed
in the hot weather; that it stopped rain
ing all Of a sudden, and that it will not
rain soon"
These were the statements which the
wicked man made; these were the
thoughts he uttered and believed. We
explained that We remembered.
And the dry" moon remained dry
about an hour, or it may have continued
dry or it may have always been dry.
At any rate, about 6 O'Clock the worst
and absolutely the most drenching rain
storm Of the season swooped down upon
the town came in all its awful and blind
ing fury. 1t lasted until s O'Clock and
the thing is not decently oyer yet.
And this was a sample copy of the dry
moon 1t does seem that all such idiotic
signs fail-the science of nature is
against them. And yet m en- go down the
weary and stony path of life firmly be
lieving in the moon signs believing that
to break a mirror is an omen of disaster
or death believing that a a snakes rat
ties or a three-eyed Irish potatoe or a
buckeye will scourge one Of rheumatism
and kindred diseases; believing that to
see a new moon re- your Qeft shoulder

TaE PRESS CONVENTION.

The press association now in session
at Winston could amount to a great deal.
1t could be made a strong help to per-
spring and perishing country papers
and city papers-but the press assOcia-
ton is no help in the way it is now man
aged. Not alone in North Carolina is
it's efforts fntile-but it is a mere muir
muir and buzz in all the states. The ed
itors meet. They do not all attend the
meeting. Many are absent on other
business some go out to take a drink +;
some want to make a speech while others
want something to eat.
If the press gang Of North Carolina
would have a business meeting some
where by themselves-go in for real bus
mess and then go on an excursion to
some city after business was over, it Oc-
ours to US that some good could be &C
complished.
SO far as the editor of THE GLOBE is
concerned he believes that these f~arcical
feasts and begging expeditions are all
out Of what journalism should be. This
interlOper does not care a continental
what the editors of the state think Of
him. If he does good work, he knows
the honest members of the craft will give
him honest credit. He is not running a

DULL DAYS GROWTH.

Even in the dull days Of the bust
ness world; in days when people
have but little time to read and
manv are out of town, The Globe
which is a hummer grows along.
The Globe has more bona fide and
other kind Of subscribers, by over
double the number than any news
paper in Durham. 1t is receiving
new subscribers and receiving no
stops worth speaking of. It's list Is
larger by several times than when
this pale-faced student took charge
eight months ago; it Is growing IN
numbers and in respect. The peO-
pie want a paper which ticks no
boots and which tells the honest
truth.

as the honest truth is concerned and
the boots have been sent elsewhere.
The advertising patronage Of The
Globe has been all that we could OK
pect. The Globe has made room for
itself, and the following affidavit of
this morning is all sufficient to prove
what men in town know, that people
endorse this papcr:

subscribers is to-day greater than at
any time in the history of The Globe ;
that during the last few weeks the
increase has been greater than at

Just the other day the old man wrote
that charity covered a multitude OF sins.
THE GLOBE went ON its mad wild way
and endorsed Charity. We said there
were many sins which needed covering,
but after all:

Should it bother itself about covering
sins:
