At Charlotte tonight, COLONEL FAIR
BROTHER, of THE GLOBE, will not deliver
his famous lecture on The Journalists of
North Carolina.' The reature SHER-
KILL, who is really wonderful and bril-,
liant and Jugs with him a reputation eX-
tending for miles around, took an OppOr-
tunity to make a personal thrust, and JOE
CALDWELL luckily saved us the humilia-
ton we would have found in associating
with the Concord creature. Gentlemen
are gentlemen the world over, and actions
tell the tale.
However, COLONEL FAIRBROTHER will
deliver his lecture for sixty consecutive
nights in Raleigh. Col. r. T. GRAY has
kindly consented to act as usher and keep
the audience in after the lecture starts.
Those wishing to hear the colonel will
come late and avoid the rush.

WHAT CAN BE DONE.

1t seems that with man nothing is i'm
possible. We marvel at the magic acts
of the wizard EDISON, we stand in amaze
ment before the achievements of Stanley
we wonder what gigantic enterprise
will next be successfully tlOated-yet we
are prepared to receive anything that
may come.
This is the age of in~ventiOn-the age
when mans will and mans magic seem
to chain the elements and make them do
his bidding. 1t is an age which has sur
prised the world-which has knocked the
socks off of this history. AS an illustra.
ton of the manifold wonders of what
man can do and what man does, We have
here in Durham a gentleman who will
sometime astonish the civilized world in
matters of mysterious monkey work.
COLONEL DICK WHITEHURsT gives
daily exhibitions of his skill at the reser
VOir of the city water works. He does it
free of charge, and the most marvellous
thing about it is that he never makes a
blunder. He is assisted by DR.. HARRIS
and COLONEL JOHNSON, of Rooster Pow
der fame.
Anyway, these gentlemen take a plain
water bucket and fill it with water. Mr..
W~HGTEHURsT takes the bucket filled
with water and pours the water out of
that one which is filled into an empty
bucket, and then-after doing this, he
can, with apparent ease, pour it
Back Again.
Well, such things puzzle us-but the
telephone and the photograph remained

them as a matter Of course, and so it
seems that it will be with all things on

AROUT THE.

The News and Observer has shown that
the last legislature made a collective ass
of itself by voting to JOE DANIELS the
printing business. 1t is announced that
this same poisoned rat will try to again
gnaw his way into the state treasury.
CAPTAIN AsHE, who padded JOE about
a wear and a half or two years ago, pro-
poses to see that the wild cat scheme of a
weekly failure, papers to get the job.
AsHE says that he does not want the
business. as a situation, but he holds, very
reasonably, too, that no newspaper should
be awarded such a business over another
honest competitor. Accordingly AsHE
PROPOSES to save the state about three
thousand dollars a year. DANIELS, tn It
is we have a pretty good reason for be-
lieving that DANIELS is waiting to make
another raid. He has no business with
the bonus except that it furnishes him a
living where he fails in all other things.
We want t 0 see the wretched and in
famous Job fired from the books. We
want to see all democratic papers and re-
publican papers and third party papers
on a common level. The State Chronicle,
which DANIELS wrecked, with his bonus
with him, had no right to that money.
We hope the press of the state will see to
it that legislators are instructed to vote
against any and all Infamous measures
which mean the sustenance of a %sinecure,
at the same time without the authority Of
law.

Some people who want to defend
every fraudulent existence yell that
The GLOBE is wrong about the water
works. THE GLOBE is not wrong. The
service is wretched and the supply of
water is inadequate. That is the long
and the short of it, and the city council
has a duty 10 perform. And ii should be
performed. The service is not what the
tax payers are paying for and the facts
can be established.
These things are not so much matters
Of personal gloriication TO US as to the
people. They become a personal consid-

high here, but until we are given sure
protection by the water company We can
hope for nothing lower.
