Promptly at $50 o'clock yesterday

Close. Sunday--Don't Fay.
The Worlds Fair will close on
Sundays. After tigting the matter
out successfully in court, and open
ly defying the Government and
about all the religious bodies in the
country u0til tired, the directors Sun
day decided voluntarily to close the
gates. But there is reason for
this remarkable action, and the
reason is one fully appreciated by
the Windy City. 1t is that the Fair
does not pay expenses On the Holy
Day, and the loss of money has ac-
complished what the President of
the United States could not.
An extra train has been put on
the Atlantic aud North Carolina
Railroad from Goldsboro to More
head City; this makes the travel
over that road very much more con
yenient aud pleasant. In addition
to the regular train, which leaves
Goldsboro at $3.50 P. ~, and returns
at 80 A. NJ, there has been added
"a "shoo-hv," which leaves here at
$50 A. NJ, and returns in the after
noon at 7:4O. We wish to congratu-
late President Chadwick upon his
enterprise, and for his consideration
for the convenience and comfort of
his patrons. We are glad to know
that the road is paying sufficiently
to justify this extra service, and
trust that the extra travel will more
than cover the extra expense. The
road has never been better managed
than at present.
The two witnesses, Gallagher and
Davidson, who swore that Dempsey
and Beatty of the Knights of Labor
poisoned the non-unlon at Home
stead, have made a confession. They
now admit that they swore falsely
and that they were paid to do it by
Carnegie tools, the Pinkertons. A
few men have gotten so much money
that they will always be able to hire
son one to swear falsely for them.
Money not only corrupts the wit
nesses, but 1t even tries to corrupt
the court itself.
A subscriber calls our attention to
the fact that '.Gideons Band' was
incorporated by the Democratic Leg
islature in the year of 1877. He
says by referring to the index the
act can be easily found. The
Incorporation lived in the town of
Fayetteville. We are unable to say
whether this is the same "Gideons
Band" that raised such a fuss last
fall or not.
Some of the liquor men in Charles
ton are defying the law and contiu-
uing to sell whiskey. Several ar
rests have been made.
Yellow fever is reported on Il YES

TAKE NOTICE.

Every day we are receiving clubs
of five subscribers with money for
only four, or clubs of ten with money
for only eight. That proposition
was good for only two weeks. We
did that in order to get our friends
to send the paper to those who would
not subscribe so they could see both
Watterson's and Viewers speeches.
We did that at loss and can't af-
ford to do it again. The paper has
so much reading matter and so few
advertisements, that it is really too
cheap at S1.OO year. In fact we
must get 10000 subscribers to make
it begin to pay. And now let every
friend of the paper determine that it
shall have that many readers. We
ought to have them, we must have
them.

that you hear will be that the ma

fuse to allow the Alliance meeting to
be held in public school-houses. In
fact it would not surprise us if the
order has already gone forth, that
none but Democrats should hold
meetings in these houses. And along
with this will probably come the in
formation that the machine COM

A number of newspapers have
been unfair in their statements about
the Alliance Business Agency Fund.
A large part of the amount lost was
in the fight against the jute bagging
trust. Another heavy loss was the
expense incurred in defending the
Alliance against the attack made on
it by the last Legislature. Read
Major Graham's card in another
column, which is fair, manly, and
