The New York Sun gives this advice :
We must repeat our warning against
pneumonia, the most dangerous disease
which prevails in the city, and which is
extraordinarily prevalent at this time.
The. records show that there were as
many as 249 fatal cases of it here last
week, a greater number than there has
been in any other week of the year. In
a majority Of cases the melting cause Of
the disease is catching cold and neg
lecting it. Half the deaths from it might
be prevented by treatment, or by the
adoption of means to cure the cold as
soon as it is caught. Colds are even
more dangerous at this season thar in
the winter or summer season. Be on
the guard all the time against taking a
cold. Look out for it if you take it.
GLADSTONE goes to bed and sends for a
doctor whenever he has a cold, and
consequently he always gets we'll in a
very short time. Pneumonia is not The
only disease which is brought on by
cold it is but one of the many deadly
diseases which are due to it yet a full

from that gentleman which explains
itself.
GREENSBORO, \. C. March %, 1898.
Editor of GLOBE, Durham, n. c.:
DEAR SIR-In consequence of my not
being able to secure a house for my Jam
ily, which consists of five children, whom
| can not leave here without protection
indefinitely, l am forced to postpone my
removal to Durham.
And so it goes-we hear it or all sides
and from every quarter. We want peo-
pie to come, and ask them to come, and
tell them what a wonderful place Durham
is, and just as they are convinced and get
ready to pull up stakes, we coolly inform
them that we have no room for them and
suppose they had better stay where they
are.
And the question comes up: Can we
afford to lose such an institution as MIR.
DoUGHTY proposes to establish-an insti-
tuition which will bring fifty or a hun.
dred new people to the city, simply for
the lack of a decent dwelling in which be
could ask his family to live?
Can we afford to have it go that
Durham will not take care of those who
may come-that we are filled up and
have, to all intents and purposes, a fin
ished town?
This matter of houses, or rather the

on the part of citizens who are progress.
sive and who want to see the town
plunge ahead.
No better field was ever offered for the
business of the building loan association
than in Durham at this particular period
in its history, and THE GLOBE is glad to
see them coming in and getting down 10

work.

The California legislature is after the cir
c%ulatiOn editor with a law making circulation
misrepresentation a penal Offense. Here in
the East the circulation editor is a good joke.
The above from the Washington Post
treats with levitY a very serious matter.
1t was only the other day that DR.. DANA,
of the New York Sun held that a man
who swore to his circulation was nee
essariiy a liar.
But that is not true, The newspaper
directors of the country all insist that
statements of circulation be accompa-
MED with affidavits; that statements
made at random are no good.
If an affidavit concerning newspaper
circulation Is worth nothing, then an
affidavit is not necessary, for results in
courts of justice.
The affidavit, when a man becomes a
periuror of his statements are proven
false, is of most wonderful importance
and of necessity carries weight not found
in a verbal statement.
Long live the affidavit circulation man,
because he talks cold aud clammy facts
when facts are facts.

MEL F~AIRBROTHER, of Durham, n. c., will put

New York Commercial Advertiser.
To be sure. The pension office is not
wholly and really bad. 1t has been the
victim of frauds and the anti-room of
thieves who would plumber the nation.
1t has been the place wherein diseased
scOundrels who contracted a disease
twenty years after the war, in a house of
questionable character, could 60 and re-
ceive a pension for an honorable wound
which he never received.
The pension bureau has become a pub
lie scandal, and The Advertiser knows
it.
But We give it credit for one act dur
ing its desperate and wicked career
which is truly good.

WE NEED HOUSES.

TIE GLOBE has had occasion to refer
with painful frequency to the lack of
dwelling houses in Durham, and the
wonderful obstacle which the absence
of such houses was proving in the way
of the now rapid growth Of the city.
There is hardly a day but what we hear
of people wanting to locate and the fact
that they do not come at once is simply
for the reason that they cannot get
houses either to live in or do business in.
A few property owners have seen the
point and invested in buildings which
are paying a handsome profit but these
are a mere drop in the ocean toward
supplying the demand which is growing
greater every day and which should cause
the owners of vacant lots TO begin TO
figure as TO the probable outcome.
A few days ago THE GLOBE told of a
shoe factory which was to be started at
once in this city, MIR. C. H. DOUGHTY,
who was TO be the man in charge, having
notified us of his intention to
work during the present month. This

MAKE 1T UNANIMOUS.

MAKE 1T UNANIMOUS.
Postmaster GENERAL BIssELL has
decided that the appointment of post
master shall in a measure, at least be de-
cided by the people in the locality which
he is to serve.
Accordingly the friends of Buck
BLACKWELL this morning started a petit
ton in this community and those friends
are seeking signers.
We hear it stated that the ghouls, vul
lures and vampires who, with nothing to
recommend them bat their %impudence,
audacity, and money which they have
stolen from friends, have sent statements
to Washington in which the character
and reputation of COLONEL BUCK BLACK
WELL are impugned and maligned.
1t may be true that in his big book of
life Buck BLACKWELL has written some
pages which could not be endorsed-yet
pages which he would not write again,
and we say that the hell-puked and Shiny
scum of scoundrelism that would to day
exhume from the coffin lids the skeletons
which might have been misfortunes, and
rattle the dried and almost decayed bones
to rob the grave of any decency or any
buried honor.
The Shiny snakes of to day, in the
meshes of their malignity against poor
BUCK BLACKWELL, seem, it appears, to
forget that they are not invulnerable. In
their inhuman and ghoulish glee to gloat
over l~axities of another, happening years
ago, they forget to remember that if hell
were industriously raked with a fine
toOthed comb, and the combined product
condensed into the form of ore man,
there would not be such a miserable
miscreant as the scamp and s~calawag
who has gone into the grave and become
a character ~despoiler instead of a body.
snatcher.
HONEST Buck BLACKWELL deserves
the Durham p~OstOffiCe.
He was the man who builded Durham
and he was the man who befriended the
poor, the needy and the oppressed.
And if politics cuts any figure, he was
the man who in the days of his successes,
contributed always and contributed
to the success of the democratic
ticket.
If the citizens of Durham ALLOW some |
lame duck and arid ass to take the place
which, for a dozen reasons, belongs to
old BUCK BLACKWELL, then THE GLOBE
wants to say that gratitude and justice
are not given here.
Every man, woman and child, who
knows BUCK BLACKWELL and the history
of Durham, should rush to sign the petit
ton which is now being circulated.

A Good Man Gone.

Died-April 23d, 1893, of pneumonia,
after an illness of only few days-Rev.
Bernard Wagner, aged IS years.
Mr.. Wagner was one of the Oldest and
most highly esteemed citizens Of Wa
Keeney. He came to Trego county near
ly fifteen years ago and was therefor
well known to almost everybody.
The highest eulogium that we can
award is when we say that he had in the
highest degree the confidence and esteem
of all his neighbors. We have never
heard him spoken of but in the highest
terms, and we have reasons for thinking
that his whole life has been thus pure
and his example above 1eproach. A few
years since we visited the neighborhood,
in Illinois, where Mr. Wagner preached
twenty years ago, and where he was
spoken of in the highest terms and many
sent their affectionate greetings.
Fortune had not smiled on the deceas-
ed and, Notwithstanding, his more than
eAICO SSOlO yCal0 dnO GCA oAu
Affections, including the loss of one arm,
he was compelled literally to earn his
daily bread. But he did it honestly and
cheerfully and without repining. Many
would have become disheartened, but his
courage and genial good nature never
forsook him. While his path in life was
humble he always strove to do his duty
as God gave him to see it.
He leaves an aged widow who has
shared his joys and SORROWS for more
than fifty years, their golden wedding an
niversary being celebrated by their
friends in Wa-Keeney more than year
ago.. For her the way must indeed seem
dark and the dispensation very hard to
be borne, but she has the deepest SYM
pathy OF all, and it cannot be very long
until they are reunited to part no moro
forever.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. Winterburn, OF the NJ. E. church,
Of which denomination deceased was
jealous and consistent member.
