TIE NOMINATING CONVENTION
The Joint convention of city and county
delegates to nominate candidate for
the legislature, will meet in this city on
Tuesday next at u o'clock. As stated
Yesterday as the delegates now stand
Mr.. Jas. Cation has 10, Mr. Chas. Bend
helm 10 and Mr. Chas. Thompson, of
the county. ). There are rumors in cir
cuation of combinations, dark horses,
&c, but the consensus OF opinion is that
Mr.. Bendheim will win and his friends
seem to be confident of the result.
They say that the county delegates are
of course for the county man, but that
when they see that Mr.. Thompson can
not be nominated majority of them
will come TO Mr.. Bendheim and thus
secure the latter's nomination. Sull
the convention is several days off yet,
elections are uncertain and as a geueral
rule it is not safe to bet on what other
people are going to do. Neither Messrs:
Cation nor Bepdheim have We. banned
the delegates who will represent them
in the convention.

DURHAM, n. c., Aug. Is, '93.
To our Friends and Patrons:
You are aware that for some time leaf
tobacco has been selling much below its
value upon all markets. This is occa-
stoned by the depressed condition of all
branches of business, especially the to-
bacco manufacturing trade throughout
the country, causing but little demand
for manufactured or leaf tobacco. Many
tobacco factories have already closed tenn
porarily, owing TO this dull trade, ccnse-
quently many leaf dealers, as we'll as
manufacturers, are carrying very large
stocks of leaf and do not desire to in
crease the quantity.
Knowing that you should have better
prices for your leaf, aud believing you
will have in q short time, and feeling that
your interest is our interest, we have
agreed with each other to close our ware,
houses and discontinue sales until further
notice
We will take pleasure in advising you
promptly when we think it best for you
TO market your tobacco.
Truly your friends,

Disappearance of an Island.

Expedition island is no more. Your
map shows it lying on the northwest
coast of Australia, about twenty-five
miles from the mainland. When it
fiourished il all It's glory, as it has since
time out Of memory, it was a beautiful
tract of land, thirteen miles long and
one and half to two miles broad. The
Swedish trader Laemstroln visited it
early in the spring of 1899. and the
Dutch natUralists of the Thignig gath
cred rare botanical specimens and col
lected many hundred sets of eggs. TO
say nothing of the many other objects
of natural history, during the months
of May and June last year. 4 vessel
was sailing il those parts quite recent
II when the officers remarked the alb
sence Of the island. The captain or
dered that soundings be made. All
around thousands Of feet Of water was
found Finally. upon observing that
there were 10 signs OF breakers on the
former site of the island, he ordered
that they sail directly across where the
island had formerly been. Soundings
were again taken, which resulted in
finding that the island had only sunk
TO a depth Of forty eight feet below the
surface. II was one Of the largest
islands on the Australian coast and its
sudden subsistence Is q mystery.

The suggestion of Joseph Thomson
to bestow the name of Livingstonia on
the British sphere of influence north Of
the Zambesi, in spite of its singular
propriety has failed to convince the au

it appears, have decided to adopt the
cumbrous and scarcely accurate title of
British Central Africa.

THE CONGO FREE STATE.
It's Great Work In the Suppression of the
Slave Trade.

On February 25. 1885. the powers Of
Europe and America gave their cordial
recognition to the Congo Free state,
and sanctioned the employ of all
civilized means for the preservation OF
order, the Introduction of civilization
and lawful commerce. for the guaran
tees of the safety of its people and eff
cient administration. II was markedly
stipulated that the new state should
watch over the preservation OF the ma
tive races and the moral and material
conditions OF their existence. should
suppress slavery, and, above all, the
slave trade, and punish those engaged
in it; that it should protect and encour-
age without distinction of nationality

MONEY LEFT TO ANIMALS.

Requests by Eccentric Persons for tie
Care of FourFooted Favorites.
There recently died in Paris lady
who had a beautiful cat, to which she
was devotedly attached. When she
for the payment of rent for a suite of
rooms for the use of the cat and left a
sum of money to pay for the personal
attendance of man and woman.
Another woman left to the town in
which she died sum of money on two
conditions. One was that her tomb
should be kept in good condition and
the other that the town should pay the
sum of forty dollars per year for the
care of her cat. She carefully stipu-
lated that he should be fed in the
morning with quarter of pint of
milk served in Sevres saucer; at mid
day with piece of liver or fish from
which the bones had been carefully re-
moved, the same to be repeated at
night; his bed to be a basket warmly
lined with flannel; and on each Sunday
the cat was to have a bath and have
tied on his neck bow of blue ribbon.
A writer in the Christian Union dis
tinctly remembers. when she was n lit
tie girl, an old sorrel horse that used to
stand usually under the one tree that
grew in a certain field, rarely moving
beyond the shade of the tree. The
horse had crooked legs. rough coat,
name and tail that might be called mo-
lasses color, and yet he always was an
especial object Of interest, because he
was the heir of three hundre ed dollars
year. That is, the owner of that field
was paid three hundred dollars a year
to take care of this horse, which under
no condition was to be put in harness.
The woman who left the horse this
money had driven him for twenty
years, and she said that in that time he
had shown more intelligence in doing
his work than she had in doing hers,
and was entitled to this sum of money
for the care and wisdom he had shown
while pulling her wagon IL was a
source OF sorrow 70 the man who was
paid the three hundred dollars year
when the horse died, for the money
went to a foreign country.
