quietly turn in and build factories; put

THERE'S NO ROOM f r

The trial AMI conviction of POLICEMAN
ROLLINS of manslaughter at Durham has so
aroused the good morals of that town, that
they propose to rid the city of that lawless
population that inhabited "~moky Hollow"
Such being the case some of that crowd are
looking to the purchase of property and locat-
ing here.
The News wants to say that there is no
room here, for such, and hereby warn out
people against showing them any favors
whatever. We do not need the scum of any
city or tOwn.-Burlington News.
That's the way to talk it. Keep the
gates of the city closed against such
scum, and the morals of the town will be
purer and taxes will be lighter.
All we fear is that the denizens of
Smoke will not leave till all their lovers
bold and gay are shot or Drained.

would be disappearing and that
then if it wanted to dabble in poll
tics it could afford to, and could also
accomplish much. He says that the
South for years did nothing but abuse
the Yankees, and all this time it sup
ported the North, Any and everything
that a shrewd Yankee wanted to sell, he
came and unloaded it in the South. He
thinks that if the South would take off
its coat fguratively speaking and turn to
account what nature has given it, that
we would never be obliged to ask any
thing of the North in the way of supplies.
And THE GLOBE believes that this is
the key to the situation, and hopes that
such a course will be pursued.

THE FEELING Is GROWING.

1t is evident that the good people of
this city are in favor of cleaning out
Smoke, but it appears that they do not
know how to go at it.
1t does look rather rough to turn a
poor woman out in the cold-a poor old
bag who allures boys to her den Of vice
and corrupts them and demoralizes them.
Oh, it is a pity!
But perhaps it is all right to allow this
hellishness to continue. If it is, it will
continue If it is not, then people will
do something without law pretty soon
If there is no law to stop such business
as is going on there.

The following letter mas Dcen reCelNeu
at this office, and is perhaps entitled to
an answer
DURHAM, n. c., April 25, 1893.
EDITOR G~LoBE-Two years ago you had so
much to say against both PEAY and CHRIS
TIAN, and last year you hammered CHRI-TIAN,
why is it you keep so quiet this year? Is it
because your pet, NJ. A. Angler. is not run
ming for office. A
The reason We do not howl for CHRIS
TIAN and PEAY, or for either n or
both of them, is because we do not want
to.
them would make a good mayor; the
citizens nave placed PEAV in the field at
one meeting and another crowd of citi-
zens placed CHRISTIAN on a ticket at a
later meeting.
The fight between them is close, and it
is not for THE GLOBE to make a row.
When SQUIRE Angler, a very clever and
most cstimable gentleman ran two years
ago, THE GLOBE pulled off its coat for
him anil he carried the convention, de-
feating PEAY. This time PEAY defeated
BUsBEE and that gave Mr.. PEAY the
right to go ahead. Last year CHRISTIAN
ran independently, and between Angler
and CHRISTIAN we favored Angler.
This year there were two conventions.
1t seems that the people are divided, and
they have a right to express their choice
the same as we have the right to advo-
cate one man against another, if we see
proper so to do.
The issue this year is between progress
sion and %retrogation. PEAY favors pub.
lie schools. CHRISTIAN opposes them.
PEAY is in favor Of public improvements
by taXation-CHRIsTIAN is against any
thing of that sort.
And so the two candidates, each with
his friends, stand before the people on
separate and distinct platforms. 1t is for
the people to say what shall be done.
1t is none of THE GLOBES business
because the board of commissioners will
have say-the mayor only votes when
there is a tie.
Both are good men, and no one can
question this proposition.
