TWO STORIES ABOUT THE BUSINESS

People Who Come and Go-Brief BreVi-
ties of Interest to All Readers
of The Globe.
The rumOr that there was to be va
cancy in the perintendency of the
Durham Water company has brought
out a number Of candidates, all of whom
are busy securing signatures recommend
ing them to the position.
While THE GLcBE has nothing to do
with the claims of any of these gentle
men, and has always insisted that the
water company failed to do what it pro
tomakc this general proposition, which is:
That since God Almighty hung the
clouds OH the blue rafters of the dome
Of heaven history fails to record but one
instance in which man has furnished
water to the thirsty multitude where
there was no water.
That was Colonel Aaron.
And he, poor fellow, we learn, is dead.
But now comes in the uncOmmOnly
common council of the city Of Durham
and with owl like leering and grandeur
in their gustO, say that change in the
superintendency would remedy the evil.
Now let us be honest with Mr.. Holman.
l. he a rain maker?
Is he expected, as the superintendent
of the corrupt Boston concern which pill
Iaged this city, to have great supply of
water in the storage house during an un-
precedented drought? Is
jim BlaCknall,
John Niche,
w. f. Foster,
Walter Bradsher,
Each petitioning for Mr.. Holman's
shoes, capable of furnishing rain at the
desire of the municipality or the patrons
Of the water company.
Common sense and common Justice
will suggest to the corrupt Boston cor
poration that Mr.. Holman has done his
full duty.
TIE GLOBE only blames him for the
Jealous manner in which he has main
tanned their claims at the expense of the
city, which it is alleged to serve.
When the water was low Mr. Holman
did all within his power to secure a
sufficient quantity to meet the require
mentS of those served, and now for his
ardor the friends of the company suggest
that he be decapitated.
There has already been too much
childs play and monkey work in the city
council, and the people for the most part
pretty generally know it.

council whichgaccepted the half finished
job which the plundering Boston con-
Germ placed upon them, was but is not
now, responsible for theis miserable
state affairs.
When you go to call your neighbOr a
liar always get down to the bottom rock
and see where the truth was left. Do
not say that some manager or superin.
tendent is a fraud when you yourself
have voted the fraud upon you.
The real truth is this:
The Boston concern robbed this town
and weak backed and cowardly council
accepted an unfulfilled contract which
Mr.. Holman nor no living man could
fulfill. And because this city, as green
country chump, had its pocket picked
npresumes now to play the baby act and
lay the blame upon one who has worked
hard to do his duty.
1t may be discovered that there is {
law in North Carolina which will com
pell the Boston freebooters TO live up tc
and complete the unfinished contrac
which they fastened upon this city ant
Which has been fraudulent and which
always will be fraudulent until better
service is given us.
NO matter about the superintendent
MIR. Holman has done his duty.
