self on the floor, Turk fashion, he raised
the boa above his head, and the snake,
as though perfectly realizing what was
expected, coiled itself about his head
like turban. Calmly lighting cigar,
Mr.. Byrne sat unconcernedly putting
blue rings into space. "You see," he
said between puffs. there's nothing
like letting them know that you are
master. a snake IS quick TO grasp a
situation, and the minute you show
signs Of fear, that minute you lose your
power" At this juncture, the smoke
coming in contact with the boa's eyes,
he calmly unwound his tail and knocked
the cigar out Of the keepers mouth.

Where Rooster Powders and Other Com
pounds Are Compounded.

DR.. Y. NJ. Johnson, who has many
times and oft received mention in these
columns as the compounder Of the now
celebrated horse and cattle powders
which bear his name, is not combining
his energies to the manufacture of these
articles, by any means. They are but an
item, and a very small one, of a big
wholesale and retail drug business which
he, in a very few years, has built up in
Durham.
The round front drug store, which DR..
Johnson built and has since occupied,
has long been one of the chief ornaments
of the city. In it is kept n of the
largest stocks of drugs in the state, a
stock which supplies a large wholesale
and retail trade. Experienced prescrip-
ton clerks are on hand at all hours, and
the strict attention to details, which has
built the business Of this firm to its pres
ent proportions, observed throughout
every department. They make a spe-
cialty of garden seeds, oils and house
paints, and will do the correct thing by
all customers. Like THE GLOBE they
have come to stay.

Mr.. Peter McWilIiams to Be Placed in
Charge Until a Regular secre-
tary Is Secured.
1t is gratifying to know that the y. NJ.
C. A, which for the last few months has
been compelled to close doors for lack of
sufficient means to operate it, is about to
resume business.
Since the resignation of Mr.. Il. E.
White, who during his secretaryship
made things interesting for the young
men of the city and kept things going,
little apparent interest has been mani,
tested by local members, and as if by com
mon consent, the scheme appeared to
have been abandoned.
But the scheme had not been aban-
Goned, and the seeming indifference on
the part of members who had before been
enthusiastic for its maintenance was
caused by no lack of interest in the great
work, but by circumstances, in the form
of an empty treasury, over which they
had no control.
The truth is now out. While outsiders
were believing the association dead, the
members were silently at work to liqui-
date such old debts as had been made
aud secure necessary funds for its reor-
ganization. Mr.. Jim Southgate, who is
an active leader in this work, tells US that
they hope by the 1st of January to see
their way clear, and with another secre-
| tarv to look after their interest, commence
anew and under more favorable auspices.
4 visit from Mr.. Ober, of the national
committee, pleasantly remembered in
Durham, in company with State Score
tarv Coulter is looked forward to the
opening as one of the pleasures of the
near future.
In the meantime the Y. ". G. A. rooms
will be open every evening hereafter
from 7 to 10 o'clock, with Mr.. Peter Nc
Williams in charge. Young men of the
city and visitors generally are invited to
call and make themselves at home.

DR.. w. B. Bagby, who is just back

gave a lecture last night at the First
Baptist church which was much en-
joyed by the large crowd present.
DR.. Bagby spoke en~couragingly Of the
Baptist denomination in the mission
fields of South America, and charmed
his audience by descriptions of tropic
scenes and the manners and customs OF
the happy-go lucky, easy going people
of that dangerous, sunny cline.
The cultured Brazilian is, according to
the doctor, a very pleasant fellow to
meet, and the big snakes, monkeys and
mosquitoes which have heretofore fright.
ened the prospective South American
tourist, fade into insignifcance and are
no longer obstacles in the way of travel
ers who would really know something OF
their own county, of which this com
paratively unknown continent forms SO
large a part.
The lecture was entertaining and in
~structive throughout, and marked the
speaker not only as a man who had ideas
and knew how to express them, but as a
close observer of men and things.
Durham has had many intellectual
treats during the past few weeks, and

them.

Of our leading business firms whose trade
is not confined to this city or county, but
extends over this entire section Of

The gentlemen composing the firm,
Messrs. J. J. Thaxton and J.. r. Patton,
have long been recognized as men with
whom it was safe to do business, and on
whose word a customer could rely.
They have preferred TO build a trade
rather thar inherit it, and set about the
business in a way that was bound to tell.
They sold reliable goods and were square
with all who dealt with them. This led
to increased sales, and to day they have
one Of the largest establishments in the
city. They carry a big general stock, in
Guiding farmers supplies, implements,
etc, and make a specially Of shoes

When it comes to talking about leaders
in the perticnlar mercantile world of
which Durham is centre, the we'll known
dry goods firm of Ellis & Stone stands
at the head. This firm was the first Of
all the merchants in Durham to intro
duce a class of goods in keeping with
the growing wealth and increased the
keeping Of money at home by doing
away with the order system, and making
it the interest of the community to
~patronize home people. They are show

are in all the newest and handsomest
patterns. If you think of ordering any
thing in the dry goods line, see them be-

Durham has undergone changes and
reverses-men have come and men have
gone and the city has forgotten that it
ever knew them. But the pioneer drug
firm of r. d. Blacknall & Son, up to this
date, is doing very well, thank you.
They have remained at their post from
January t 0 December, attended to their
customers, one and all alike, and held
their own against all later rivals. They
have increased their stock as the town
grew, and have always kept up with the
procession. Their place is at the corner
of Main and Corcoran streets, and Black
NAILS is the place where you can always
have a prescription filled on the shortest
notice and with The greatest care. They
sell everything in the drug line, including
perfumes and toilet articles, and have
earned their popularity by studying the
best interests of their customers. This
they will continue to do, and this is why
they will always do business. Having
gotten in on the ground floor they pro-
pose to stay there, a fact which the pub
lie is asked to bear in mind.

Durham, n. G., Dec. Il. 92.
THE GLOBE found it impossible to see
Colonel Carr to day and consequently
cannot give an authorized statement
cor~4rning this matter. However, The
GLo.E, which prints the news when
news is ncwa, writes the truth when it
saws that there will lie an air line built
TO Charlotte, and that the Norfolk and
Western road will soon be absorbed by
the Baltimore and Ohio, and that We will
have q trunk line direct to Wilmington,
giving US that service several hours
quicker than anything now on wheel.
This proposed scheme will raise the
very old Harry with our state roads, and
at the same time, the charter must be
granted. And, by-the.way, all of this
means much for Durham, the town that
has side whiskers and horns.
