Rack from soelxahattI.

The Durhamites, who have been
camping for ten days at Soekahatti,
near Orange Factory, broke camp this
morning and returned to the city. 1t
was an exceedingly delightful trip,
and the entire party, which was a
congenial one, had very pleasant
time. This morning about 10 o'clock
they bade adieu to the familiar scenes
with regret. One Of the most prom
inent personages at the camp was
Jess, one Of the tenants, and an ex-
ceedingly original and inimitable
character. He was called on at all
times and on all occasions, and will
long be remembered by every one
in camp. The following people have
been at Soekahatti during the past
ten days:
Mesdames S. w. Holman, Q. A.
Jordan, j. A. Robinson, Misses Lii

The New York Press says
that Col. Albert A Pope, who
is engaged in the effort 70 make
the roads Of this country better
than they are, thinks it would
be a helpful idea to have a
building Of road making exhib.
its at the Chicago Exposition.
Such a display would include
statistics Of the extent and kind
Of improved roads made in sew
eral European countries; cost
OF construction and maintain
ance, with rates If wages; dia.
grams and photograph Of good
and bad roads III home and
abroad; and Of larger machines
used in the work; and sections
Of good roads OF gravel, Telford,
macadam, plank, asphalt,
wooden blocks, brick, granite
blocks and stone slabs. Selim
II. Peabody, chief Of the De.
partment Of Liberal Arts,
promises TO try to find q place
for the road exhibit. and Mr..
Pope heads his own movement
with d subscription for the ex.
penses.
The Importance of such an
exhibit to the whole country
may be family imagined only
from the knowledge that every
country landholder possesses
as to the effect Of good or bad
roads on the value Of his land,
whether for residence purposes
or for timber or crop prOduc-
tion There are o million bad
roads In the United States
winch stay bad, end the good
country roads require no end Of
money and care to make them

lem country roads, and the
proposed display at Chicago will
BE- thoroughly In line with the
most practical and useful pur
poses Of the exposition.

terday Afternoon.
We have already published the
fact that John Word, of this place,
q member Of the police force of Dur
ham, fell from the excursion train
going to Norfolk on Thursday last,
when it was running, we are told,
about a mile a minute. He slipped
and fell, and it was one of those sud-
den accidents it is hard to get
straight account Of, but he sustained
injuries about the head from which
he died, in Norfolk, Sunday after
noon at 3:35 o'clock.
There is universal sorrow express
ed here at his seemingly untimely
death, and the peculiar sadness that
surrounds this being away from
home and loved ones and his wife,
at the time, very sick. Bob Burruss,
of this place, was left with him and
attended TO him during his last i'll
ness.
Mr.. Word was about 40 years Of
age, and had been a member of the
police force since last May. His
friends here were numbered by the
score and sympathy is expressed on
all sides.
His remains will arrive here at
$50 o'clock, by the d. & N. road,
and the funeral will take place to.
morrow morning at 10 o'clock, from
the residence on Willard street.

later came the strike Of 1888,
and although Gibson was not d
member Of the Knights Of La

wait until the strike ended, his
manhood revolving against work
that Pinkerton detectives had

When the strike ended, dur

Gibson and it was done instant

Braddock, and when he applied
at the city Office Of Ritter & Con-
ley he got no satisfaction for
his trouble.
Another incident that inn
pressed itself on the writer's
mind was that of the seventeen
year-old son Of d soldiers wild

in the same company with SUI

Mixed Politics.

The tendency Of minority par
ties when there are three organ
izations in the field, to combine
against the dominant organiza-
ton, says the Norfolk Ledger,
has already resulted in an al
lance between the Democratic
and Third parties in several
States Of. the West, the object
being to wrest such States from
Republican control, and it ap
pears that the same plan is a.
bout being pursued in theSouth,
with the difference that the fu-
sion will be betwe n the Re-
publicans and the Third party
ties against the Democrats.
The planin the West appears
to be for the Democrats to OBJ
tain the State Offices in the
event that the fusion succeeds,
while the new organization will
take ais its share Of the trade
the electoral votes Of States
which are captured from the
Republican column.
In the South, however, the
plan " II be for the Republican
party secu d votes for Presi
dental electors in consideration
Of votes delivered for the candi-
dates for State offices of the
Third party. In Arkansas Pow
ell Clayton, who has been the
leading Republican politician
for the past twenty years, is adj
yocating a fusion between ithe
Republican and Third parties
ON .he lines stated.
The tendency of the whole
matter is plainly evident that
the Republicans willendeavor to
capture the Presidency and they
are looking out with an eye
single to that object in view
This means Mr. Harrison with
all of the odious features sur
rounding the platform upon
which he stands, and the pat
ronage and force Of the ad-
ministration in whatever poll
cies ii may desire to carry out.
Will the Democrats not make
an effort to save our country
from such a contingency The
effort Is worthy Of the best en-
deavors Of every patriot.

Our FIrsmen Return.

The Durham Firemen arrived here
from AshevilIe about three o'clock
Sunday morning, with their laurels
fresh about their brows. It was the
intention of our citizens, to show in
terest and appreciation of their efforts,
to meet them at the depot with the
Durham Cornet Band, and escort
them to their respective headquarters,
but they were unable to come at that
time owing to the fact that no train
on the western road made connection
with the train arriving here at noon.
All of them had splendid time; are
loud in their praises of of the cour-
tesies shown on them on their trip.
Especially do they mention Frank
O. Donnell, who was par excellent in
his attentions and kindness. Our
boys will long remember open heart
ed Asheville.

Worlds Far PrOspects.

The appropriation for the
Worlds Fair is pretty certain
to pass Congress in the form it
now stands, though Senator
Sherman opposes the souvenir
coin provision. He would prefer
to appropriate the $1,000, 900
outright and let the government
take its chances with the other
subscribers. There is little
chance that Congress will inject
any provision for Sunday clos =
ing Of the fair, but will leave
that question to be settled by
the management. Those who
haye resolved and petitioned
against the Sunday opening
think only of the Puritanical
Sabbath Of New England tradi-
tion, which still retains much
of its ancient sway IN the back
towns, and a PROPOSITION to
open the Worlds Fair on that
day Of the week seems to them
like a suggestion to let a stroll
ing show perform in the town
hall at the same hour that servi.

is that in Chicago the saloons,

We desire to express, as school, our
