COTTOE MATTER
This was merely bit Of fun, by Jas. F.
Skunk, editor Of the Easton pa Argus, who
wanted to stir up both the Pennsylvania Qua
kers and the New England Puritans, and did
80 to his mirth-loviug hearts content. It was
widely copied and commented on, until some
body sat down ahd examined it, and saw what
transparent humbug it really was. What
shows its falsity at once to any one at all
acquainted with those times, is the assumption
that shrewd old Cotton Mather should have
been so great a fool as to suggest such scheme.
With all Penn's religious eccentricities, and
the troubles they got him into, he was still
a very prominent man in England, the son of
an Admiral Of brilliant services and an inti-
mate friend Of two Kings Of England-Charles
III. and James III. In September 1852, he set
sail from England for his colony of East
Jersey Pennsylvania, under the
authority and patronage Of the King Quite

Of the intelligence of Cotton Mather and the
General Court OF Massachusetts, would con-

and selling them as slaves, in another English

A LITTLE LATE BUT LOTS OF EN-.

The extra edition of Five Thousand
Eight-Page WEEKLY GLOBES went out
to-day and it will not be out Of place to
remark that the edition was a hummer.
Nothing particularly striking about the
piper, except that advertising crowded
it somewhat. In the orty-eight columns
of the paper some twenty five columns
of new advertisements adorned its col
umns-and they were contracted at liv-
ing prices.
No merchant who was solicited, save
three and they had ample excuse, refused
to avail themselves of this opportunity
to get before over six thousand people
in a Newspaper that is read and read
closely.
The GLOBE is known beyond the con-
fines Of the city. It's daily AMI weekly
circulation extends throughout the state
and no Own can you visit but what THE
GLOBE is known there.
And so We say that the merchant knows
his business, knows where to plant adj
yertisements to insure speedy returns
and he knows too that THE GLORE is
begging nothing from this community,
but hat its space has a real commercial
value.
1t is for hese reasons that TIE GLOBE
congratulates itself-be ause the past
years recognition by the best people and
the best merchants and citizens from all
sections Of she state, and an increased
renewal of it as we staff on our second
year-well, ii is vindicatioL enough and
evidence enough that THE GLOBE news

Lilly Mccormick was a air specimen
Of American ~womanhood, to say nothing
! of the warts and freckles which dotted
! her closely chiseled features-rare face
! from an antique mould. In her early life
| she was raised on a farm, and she in turn
raised onions, asparagus, w~atermelons
and SIGH. She was modest and would
never ride straddle in rounding up the
! COWS. Soon after time had dallied gently
with Lilly for a few years, she felt a long
ing that cannot be described in this mar
ratiye for less than the usual rates
twenty cents a line. Lilly was not bill
| Gus; she was not a dispeptic. The exsr-
| else which her agricultural m~onkey-work
gave to her, placed on that face the real
red Of health and it did net come by the
box. Then what could be the matter with
Lilly?
Her father, a very sedate old gentleman
who wore his pants in his boot tops and
decorated his shirt front with d strong,
yet excellent quality Of Navy tobacco,
thought so too. He did this as he had
once belonged to the Navy, and we all
know that habits are hard to overcome
especially the habit of drinking Rum.
The old gentleman, as we are about to
announce, had also noticed this vague
ness in Lilly-this apparent wandering
this look which had-and which sug-
gested that in her day dreams or her
night mares she saw the visions of a hap
pier existence-of that existence which
all young girls with or without freckles
have.
Said "Jedse" Mccormick, "~surely Lilly
cannot have worms-she must be in
love-"
And as the reader has doubtless sus-
pccted ere his eyes reach this line
Lilly was in love.

RATS AND RATS AGAIN.

NEW DIRK, Nov. 0.-MOSt OF the re-
publiCans have been too daZZled to-day
to talk about Tuesdays Waterloo OF at
tempt to explain it. Mr.. PLATT and
GENERAL Hustled recovered themselves
sufficiently tonight to say that "bOOdle
did it." Hustled says that the demo
Gratis put 81 900 in each of the 1870 as
sembly districts, besides other amounts
in special localities, aggregating a lump
sum of fully 100000.
The above is a telegraphed report.
And is it not all the veriest rot?
1t is a custom for the defeated ones to
charge Doodle. Doodle, Doodle, Doodle
when there was no Doodle. The repub-
cans come in New York and say Doodle
did it. The democrats send up q wall
from Ohio and say Doodle did it.
This Doodle night mare appears to
haunt both parties when one or the other
goes down in defeat.
But even in this extraordinary asser-
ton concerning Doodle, it occurs to Us
that it is ba |. Does the republican party
in NeS York want to go on record as
saying that the thirty extra thousand
men who voted for and elected FLOWER
were republicans and that they sold their
votes? God forbid. Are republicans
only extending an itching palm n New
York, and is their wavering allegiance
cemented by a few dingy dollars of our
dads? This paper hopes that such accu-
.ations will hereafter be left unmade.
And also it may be asked will the dem
ocratic party ad nit that IN Ohio the
democrats were for CAMPBELL but voted
for MCKINLEY because the same system
of obtaining votes was inaUgurated in
the Buckeye state as has been charged
against New York. Again COP forbid.
Let the democratic party refuse to say
that all the majority in the thousands,
which MCKINLEY received, we're demo-
cratic votes, and that all those democrats
were like the next boat to leave the
wharf-For Sail.
In the defeat of your choice, a man
should bear it like a man and keep his
mouth shut.
1t is fair to presume that in politics ali
is fair and the best general in the politi-
cal field, as on the field of battle, will
catch the stragglers. But it should not
be said that both parties have a few mil
lions of vagabonds lying around which
they would have bought if they had the
needful. The admission that the other
side had the most money, a purchase vas
all there was of it, is contradictory.
If money is all it takes to carry an
election, why will speakers go out ard
newspapers howl. Why not quietly
make the purchase, have the goods
wrapped up and carry them home with

w. n. PROCTOR,
A Live Man Whom The Globe Likes to
Write About.


Write About.
THE GLOBE, which is printed alone for
live men, takes pleasure in referring to
w. II. Proctor, the grocer, who long be
fore THE GLOBE had an existence had
proved and emphasized his claims to that
| distinction.
Mr.. Proctor is thoroughly known to
| this community as one of the most wide
awake, enterprising and thoroughgoing
men of the town. Born and reared in
this state, he is a North Carolinian first,
last and always, his interests having al
WAYS centered here and his business ex-
p~erience having been gained by a con-
slant study Of the needs and require
ments of our people. Coming to Dur
ham fifteen years ago, he entered the
mercantile business as general salesman,
and since that time has been constantly
behind the counter.
About five years ago having grown
tired of spending his energies to build
up other people, and having attained the
age when a man naturally begins to look
seriously upon the future, Mr.. Proctor
commenced business for himself, and
since hat hour has known no other
word but success. Burned out again
and again, he commenced anew with re-
doubled energy, and to-day has the
largest retail grocery b use in the city.
His large and growing trade keep five
statesmen constantly on the run, and the
business is conducted in a way to insure
satisfaction to all who deal there.
Mr.. Proctor is a young man, being
now little over thirty years, and is n of
the men who has proved the value OF
printers ink in getting his business be-
fore the people. He makes it a point to
keep good goods, and is not ashamed to
let people know what he has.
Elsewhere in The GLOBE this week
Mr.. Proctor has a word for his country
friends which our readers will do we'll
to read and consider.

Look After PeudIer>.

To THE EDIToR-While our city faith
ers are paying their officious attention
to drummers, would it not be well to ex-
ercise their eminent abilities in looking
after the Hungarian, Scandinavian, Ital-
ian, Jew and Russian peddlers who are
raking every inch of the county for
trade, thereby seriously affecting the in
terests of old established merchants who
bear the burden of taxation, and who
have been the backbone Of the city in her
darkest days. Perhaps if the herds Of
peddlers were looked after closely, there
would be less house breaking and burg
larizing in our community. Respect
