Governor Flower vetoed number OF bills
yesterday. and showed better Judgment in doing
so than he has displayed i'll reference 10 good
many measures which he has signed. One OF
those which fell under his diSapproval was the
bill providing for the purchase by the city OF
some rocky land near Fo!t George. The Gov
ernor SAYS that this measure : subject to
crit SIN both in the manner OF its passage and
in the nature of its provisions" If this stand
ard were applied to all the work Of the Legs-
lature, large proportion of the output OF the
session would be cancelled by the Executive
veto.
There will he no further appeal in the case
of CARLYLE Harris. Mr.. Howe had contemplated
taking the case before the United States courts,
but decided yesterday that this would be use
less, especially in view of the strong intima-
tons heretofore given by Federal Judges that
lawyers taking such appeals in capital cases
were trihing with the courts. This decision is
undoubtedly judcious Ii is possible that Gov
ernor Flower may grant short repreve, but
his private secretary SD yesterday that no
application for a reprieve had been made. As
the matter stands the execution will take place
next week, and preparations for carrying ont
the sentence ale under way.
A new standard of official appointments was
established for the city when murderer was

A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE.

The unfairness of the Calhounist raid on the
Union pensioners is illustrated by The f+ct
that they now commonly speak of the amount
p id annually on this account as being $780,
10000. They hope to pront by the false i'm
preston thus created. The fact is that these
payments have never yet reached 100000, OOC
in any one year, although it is expected that
they will DO 80 for the current one-New

WHERE IS 1T?

A year and half ago the Common
wealth Club was holding regular meet,
ings was active in its efforts to induce
manufacturers, colleges and all sorts of
enterprises to come and locate in Durham;
was active il inviting strangers TO our
city-but, presto, change!
The whole business stopped-and stop
ped suddenly. Perhaps nothing was &C.
complished at one meetirg-but our
progressive citizens should remember
that agitation is what moves men. The
The Common wealth Club could yet do
much good and it should re-organiZe, or
be called together, and proceed again
with its meetings.
Durham needs many things yet, and is
to day in better position to get them than
ever before.
We will soon have the handsOmest
hotel in the state, built since the busy
DAYS of the club; we have hundreds OF
new buildings; two new cotton mills
large ones too-the old mills enlarged
Trinity college completed and all pros
pering-oh, hundreds Of things to show
the home seeker which we did not have
two years ago.
So let the Commonwealth Club be
called together, and ascertain if it has
not still duty to perform.

As TO THE SOUTH.

That the South needs, and all that she
needs. is people and money. We need money

The GLOBE preluded and concluded the
above proposition with many statements
of fact The South lacks money-and all
know it. Not to live, understand, but to
develop the wonderful bounlies of nature.
We have ores and minerals, forests AID
cotton; we have everything that GOD
could have given us, and the North and

ington News says:
| THE DURHAM IN. c. GLOBE is good news
paper, but it seems to have forgotten, in the

We would remind the esteemed News
that the mad rush of office seekers to the

| that GROVER is in the saddle.
When THE GLOBE talks about South
ern war claims which should have long
ago been paid, it but voices the senti
ments of not only its readers, but of

State. We have received letters of praise

CLEVELAND was elected by the Solid
South, and the Solid South expects great
things Of him-but expects and wants
only simple justice.
1t is not what THE GLOBE or any
newspaper wants-it is simply an indie

ments of the people of this section.
And so, as long as we are able to feel
the public pulse and give expression to
the desires of this part of the union we
propose to do so-as vigorously, as fear
lessly and as honesty as our pen will
trace the lines and the types and ink
place the matter before the people.

GREAT PEI Pile.

The intelligent North, which bowls sc
much about the ignorance of the South
is just now writing in its papers about a
witch who lives in New Jersey. Columns
Of newspaper articles are devoted TO this
old hag-and the enlightened people OF
that benighted section, and especially OF
New York, really and truly believe that
because foolish old woman ties feathers
and broken bottles together and makes
some signs and hlinks her eyes that she
is a sure enough witch.
She is witch, they maintain, because
she had some sort of family quarrel
with her sisters husband and his horse
died with the heaves Another neigh
boris COW was sick with tuberculosis
and this was traced directly to the WON
ans power!

share these things. Of course money
and push and brains are coming now
and it is no wild prediction when we say
that twenty years will find more ma
chinery in motion and greater enterprises
of all sorts in the South than in both the
North and West.
Capital will seek investment, and it can
find the best and safest investments in
the South.
This is generally conceded, and the bare
proposition is good enough. We need
more men and more money.

With scorchiDg breath and fiery mouth;
With waves of heat like molten dross,
Or lurid flames of Mount J,irelos.
Are winds which blew on Morlia.
The village boils in fervid heat.
Which pierce the walls of ancient peak;
SThe brown earth cracks on high plateau,
Where Attic race still wanders DER.
The blades of grass are dried and scared;
he bleating sheep and cattle herd
Go wandering down the brazen earth.
Weak, hungry. furnishing with thirst.
Banks of the mountain brooks are parched
heir beds are dry and waters quenched,
The burro trains like blear eyed ghosts.
Go stalking down their dusty course.
The fields are bare. no grain at all.
For heavens rains forgets to fall;
The shriveled buds of orange tree
Are struck with death as Upas be.
The wizened creole breaths no song,
So whithered and so parched his tongue;
NO 1'oon chants his noontide mass,
Is weary of life, signs for death.
The wild tribes of Diaz's domain
Have many human victims slain;
A sacrifice to God and SUM-"

Sad the fate of this dusky race.
Remorseless death sweeps on apace;
Dread famine RACES on the plain,
Great God witholds the blessed rain
And deadly winds wall on in pain.
