A GOOD TIME.

delay at Cincinnati which caused the late ar
rival of the train here. Tut fast time was made
after the train reached this state, the run be
ing made from Danville here in four and a halt
hours. Everybody reported a most delightful
trip throughout and 1t was the verdict that all
enjoyed it immensely.-News and Observer.
Well, statements differ, and there is
evidently a misunderstanding some
where.
The Durham crowd which got in last
night tell a very different story from that
printed in the News and Observer this
morning, 10 the effect that the excursion
was a success and that all were pleased
with the trip. They but confirm the re-
ports which have preceded them in regard
to HARRELL's failure to do what he pro
posed, and say that the kicking in con-
sequence made it anything but pleasant
for the passengers.
THE GLOBE, not wishing to do MIR.
HARRELL an injustice, interviewed a
number Of persons this morning who
were induced by the alleged cheap rates
to go on the excursion, and finds in every
instance that there was dissatisfaction
and disappointment all around.
After advertising and positively agree
ing to take persons to Chicago and re-
turn for $50, which amount was to in
clude meals, going and coming, seven
days board in Chicago, tickets to the ex-
position grounds, street car fare, ETC., the
excursionists found to their sorrow when
too late. that they had been deceived and
imposed upon, and that if they waited
for MIR. HARRELL to foot the bills they
would go hungry and find themselves
without shelter in a strange city.
Accordingly their hands went down in
their own pockets for hat they got out
side of railroad fare, which was one of
the least items, and what they had been
induced to believe would be a cheap trip
proved a very expensive one-much more
expensive, in fact, than many of them
afford or would have thought of
had they known how things
would be.
In some instances it appears that MIR.
dARRELL paid hotel bills for four days
n Chicago, but declined settling for
seven, as advertised and agreed upon. In
