SOLID SOUTHERN GROWTH.

The Manufacturers Record, of Balti.
more, of October 81, in reviewing the in
dustrial progress of the south, says:
The business situation throughout the
south continues TO improve, and the out
look for the future is very. promising.
Speculative operations are not in much
favor, but the work of solid business de-
velopment is commanding increased at
t%ention. Shrewd capitalists, realizing
the intrinsic value of good mineral and
timber properties, are making a number
of purchases, and mainly for immediate
development. In West Virginia some
large sales of coal lands have been made,
and in other states ore and timber lands
have changed hands. The phosphate
interests in Florida show increased &C
tiyity in the sale Of lands and in the
organization of mining companies, seven
new companies having been reported
during the week with capital stock of
from $4,000 to 81, 600, 900. In Alabama
a very important contract was closed,
securing the building of a railroad
from the Warrior coal fields to deep
water river navigation at Tuscaloosa,
which will open a water transportation
route for Alabama coal to the Gulf; this
contract also calls for coal mining and
coke making operations at Tuscaloosa.
At Galveston the contract has been
closed for building a 1000, 900 bushel
grain elevator at a cost of 5000, 900, and
large engagements have been made for
grain shipments from New Orleans this

Over forty of the leading business
houses of Durham have taken space in
the big special edition of THE GLOBE
which will be sent out next week. And
there are many others still to see.
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
onstrated. In other words, this paper is
no longer an experiment but a healthy

New York Morning Advertiser.
The marriage of Mrs. Benjamin Cor
don, a widow of Is years, to Mr.. Will
liam Taylor, only 20 years old, does not
seem satisfactory to the people of Port
Jefferson, l.. l., where the nuptials were
celebrated last Wednesday night. In
deed, the dissatisfaction was so general
that the celebration was considerably
more hilarious than the newly-wedded
couple expected or desired.
This general jubilation was in the
form of a serenade with horns and
drums, which eliminated in a Wayne
rian crescendo Of window smashing
and other W~reckage. The entire town
TOOK part in the performance. The
widow issued five hundred invitations to
her wedding, not n of which was &C
cepted, while more than a thousand In
invited men and women assembled on
the lawn before the widows house,
which they besieged, compelling the in
mates to barricade the doors and win
dows.
Oyertures of peace, sent out in the
shape of cake and ice cream, were of no
avail. The ~serenaders especially broke
in the doors, unshuttered the windows,
devoured the remains of the marriage
feast and ever forced their way to the
bridal chamber, where they kissed the
venerable bride and made the groom per-
form a %hornpipe, to their hideous music.
These extraordinary proceedings were
wound up with a threat to burn the
house unless the welded couple would
leave town.
All this is wrong, uncivilized and In
christian. The well-to-do widow wanted
to marry a poor young man, and the ex-
cellence of her choice is apparent in the
fact that the youth was known through
out the town as Elegant Bill" Emf,
nent examples of such January-June
marriages are conspicuous in compare
lively recent marital records, abroad
and in this country. In all such cases it
is solely the business of the contracting
parties, and of no one else. The people
of Port Jefferson ought to be ash ,med of
themselves, and upon cool reflection, no
doubt they are.

A CALL.
For a State Temperance Convention to BE
Held in Raleigh on November 10.

Held i'm Raleigh on November 10.
Believing that the time has come for
the organization of the people of the
state for the suppression of the evils of
intemperance, the undersigned cordially
invite every friend Of the cause of tenn
perance in North Carolina to a state con-
v~ention to be held in the city of Raleigh
on Thursday, November 10Th.
We believe hat there is need of an
awakening on the part Of the temperance
people to the growing power of the
liquor saloon and its long train of evil
influences; to the work of swift destruc-
ton into which our young people are
falling by indulging in intoxicating
drink; to the need of circulating temper
ance literature and public addresses on
the same; to the use Of the press and
public teaching generally in the encour-
agement of total abstinence and the con-
demning of the social glass.
We feel the need Of a state organize
ton through which the temperance peo-
pie may express their views and make
petition for such legislation as may from
time to time be demanded to aid in re-
straining and suppressing the manufac-
ture and sale of intoxicating liquors.
In our judgment, with a state conven-
ton on the 10Th of November that shall
provide for a permanent organization,
we may SO combine all the temperance
forces of the state as to largely prevent
the increase of liquor saloons, and in
time wholly abolish licensing the same.
With these feelings the undersigned
invite the temperance people of North

In a general way Inc GlODe talKeu
yesterday about municipalities Civ
ing franchises to private corpora
lions.
We desire to state that the sew.
erage job is one of the most bare
faced attempts at robbery that we
have lately heard suggested. Peo'
pie who think know that If this city
gives to a private concern an abso-
Lutte franchise for fifteen years in the
matter of sewerage, We will have a
most expensive elephant on our
hands.
The concern wanting all this
could dig up Jul streets-would
suit itself, and then make its own
demands. Cities which reach pros
perity are always able to manage
their own affairs and. taxation is
what pays the bills.
It is hardly to be supposed that
since the matter has been discussed
that the city council would for a
moment place such a fraud npon the
city. The sewerage question is one
of great moment, but if any corpo-
ration can afford to build the system,
then the city can.
The real object of the adventures
and highwaymen who want to get
exclusive privileges is to get an
armful.
The Water Works company, and
its superintendent is chaperoning
this last attempt at what we believe
robbery, never lived up to its con-
tract, but toQka pliable city council
and robbed the city. This is a mat
ter of history,
The Globe has a happy habit Of
avoiding the ground floor on these
new schemes which are to rob the
people, and it proposes to. fight all
such attempts-which are reeking
with rottenness and seething with
foul blotches of municipal corrup-
ton.
However we will state that we
have a belief and a hope that the
present city council will not listen
to the jobbers who come and want
a fifteen year privilege Of robbing
u people.
All men will admit that We need
a system of sewerage, but no honest
mai will say that exclusive fran
chises should be farmed out to indi,
viduals who will thrive offthe people.
And this is why we say that The
Globe is strong-because it refuses
to become a party to such an at
tempted theft.

Encourage the Editor.

As rule the editor gets thousand
kicks to one caress. Once in n while he
gets kind word, and it warns and cheers
his weather beaten, storm racked heart
to the innerinost core. Most people are
afraid to tell an editor when he writes
an article that particularly pleases them
for fear Of making him proud, we sup
pose, but If they find anything that does
not accord precisely with their views
they will neglect their business to hunt
him up and tell him of it. Pshaw! dear
friends, don't think you will spoil the
editor by giving him an occasional word
of cheer any more than you will spoil
your child by complimenting her upon a
piece of patchwork she has finished. Of
course you could beat the job yourself,
but that doesn't deter you from heaping
words of encouragement on the child.
1t has done its best. So you could
doubtless beat the average editor at run
ming paper? OF course you can. The
man does not live who can't beat an ed
itor. at running paper. The editor is
willing to acknowledge that you can
He only does it because you have not
time to, but this fact need not deter you
from giving him a word of encourage
ment occasionally.

Were Successful.
SING SING, n. Y, July S.-A white flag
ran up the halyard OF the fagpole at Sing
Sing prison Tuesday. 1t clung to the pole
u moment, then unfolded and spread to
the breeze. A shudder ran through tho
watchers on the bluff near the prison, for
the flag of truce proclaimed that Murderer
James j. Slocum's battle with the deadly
electric current was ut an end and that
Siocum's soul was before its maker for
judgment. With aching eyes the watchers
without the prison still regarded the gaunt
pole. There were three more lives to be
snuffed out; three more flags to futter at
the poles top. Exactly half an hour later
blue flag crept up the pole and mutely pro-
claimed that Harris A. Smiler had met
the shock ahd died. Twenty. five minutes
more were licked Oft by tine watch, then a
crapelike emblem-a yrewsome black flag
was outlined against the sky.
As Deadly as tho Pirate Flag.
There was no skull and crossbones upon
the black bunting, but it was as surely an
emblem OF death aS ever fioated from
pirates ship. AS the black flag was un-
folded to the breeze the lifeless body of the
negro manslayer, Joseph Wood reclined
in Warden Browns chair.
The black flag came down from the staff,
but twenty-eight minutes later blood red
bit Of bunting announced that the ghastly
proceedings were over and that Shibuya
Juglro, the Japanese murderer, had also
paid the death penalty.
They All Died Instantly.
According to the statement of DR.. Rock
well, one Of the witnesses, the execution
was successful in every way The men
went to the chair without trouble and
death was instantaneous in each case. But
the current was applied twice to each man
so that there could be no possibility of his
