LOSS OF LIFE ON THE ElBE.
The Omciai Statement shows Total of
3f4 Drowned In the Great
Disaster.


New York. Jan 3i.--The officials of the
North German Lloyd have given for
publicat ton the following figures az the
total number Of persons on board the
Elbe; Fifteen first cabin; thrty-one Sec
ond cabin two going from Bremen to
Southampton; 1877 steerage and 149 crew,
of which twenty are known to be saved.
making total of 3i4 lost.
A strong northeast gale blew through
out the night accompanied by n severe
frost but this did not deter the coast
guards and customs officers from keep
Ing up an active watch all night long
for any signs of other survivors of the
Elbe. These coast guardsmen and Gus
tom house officers have been on duty
continuously now for forty-eight hours,
the whole force of both branches of the
service having been on duty since. but
nothing is seen of the missing boat and
not n vestige of wreckage from her has
yet been washed ashore. The majority
of people here have abandoned all hope
of hearing of the rescue of any more of
the Elbe's passengers or crew, as many
of the Yarmouth and Lowestoft fishing
smacks are known to have been plying
near the scene of the disaster and they
have not yet returned, which they cer-
tainly would have done had they picked
up any survivors.
Although it is generally believed that
the Elbe sank almost Immediately after
the collision, some of the survivors as
sert that they did not see her go down.
and they express the hope that she may
still he afloat.
The agent of the North German Lloyd
company here announces that the en-
peror and empress of Germany have tel
egraphed their condolences to the COM
pany and ask to be promptly informed
If any more of the passengers or crew of
the ill-fated Elbe are rescued.

THIS BLESSED lEAR.

Cotton at 9 cents pound and the
greatest corn crop on record, would
alone make this year memorable as
the bearer Of blessings after period
of depression, but the farmers have
other things to be thankful for.
The rice crop is enormous. Reli-
able estimates indicate that it will
reach at least rs, ooo,o 900 pounds which
IS over 40 per cent. more than the
crop of last year. We do not produce
all the rice We consume, but will come
nearer to that mark this year than
ever before. Our annual consumpt on
OF rice about 200, 900, 900 pounds and
this year we will have only about 49,
100000 pounds to import.
The change in the prospect of the
masses of the people that has occurred
in the last six months is phenomenal.
All our industries are flourishing,
more men and women are at work,
wages are better, the seasons have been
propitious and crops are great.
The year in which we live has
brought US many blessings and its
goodly store is not yet exhausted

AS To The Circus.

The coming of Sells Bros circus to Dur
ham has called forth a good deal of dis
cusslOn on the circus questiOn-sOme OF
our people claiming, not without reason,
that any thing which carried money out
of a town was necessarily a disadvantage,
while others have contended that, regar-
ded from q strictly business standpoint,
it would be worth more to the city than
it cost.
The Recorder is not OF that school which
would allow a mere matter of dollars
and cents to figure in a proposition in
volving, what it considered, a moral
principal: But being, apart from all
other considerations, an ernest advocate
OF anything which can afford an hours
innocent recreation to the toiling masses,
in whose barren lives there is too little
opportunity to get out of themselves and
has placed them, this paper sees many
reasons why the circus is a great institu-
ton and why it should be supported.
To people who are able to visit the
large cities, to attend theatres, lecture
halls and museums, and have a speaking
acquaintance with genius, the trappings
OF circus tent and the jokes OF the clown
may not inspire any particularly wild
hilarity or enthusiastic admiration.
But to the thousands OF children and
young people, and many who are past
the high noon and some nearing the.
sunset of life, who, by the cruel hand ,0f
poverty, have always been held down
and have never been beyond the limits
OF their own state or county, the circus,
with its gilded chariots, its gaiy attired
performers and yet more marvellous ex-
PLOTS, is a reyelation-a dream OF Won
derland, giving rise to new sensations,
new ideas and hopes, and new aspira-
tons. 1t is to them the world in minia-
ture, the first view OF which leaves an i'm
precision which has its influence upon oil
their after life. The value Of the circus
as an educator is hard to estimate, since
but for it the average American citizen
would have about as much idea OF nat
ural history as he has OF the currency
question. The feats of the acrobat, as
illustrating the possibilities OF physical
culture, are no less valuable and instrue-
tive, impressiRg more than anything
else the hard-lesson of patience and per-
severance if we hope to excel in any art.
The Recorder believes that a first-class
circus, such as We know Sells Bros. to be.
helps any community in which it exhibits.
1t takes people out OF the sordid channel
of greed and gain for a few brief hours:
| old folks are amused-even though they
only see the parade-the children are
happy, and there is general feeling OF
iollity and good will which manifests it.
self SO clearly on no other occasion.
The eountry people who have money to
spend, make it convenient to come to
town and do their shopping On that day.
The customer is easier to please for hav-
ing enjoyed a hearty laugh, the mer-
chant is more liberal because he too is
pleased with himself and the world, and
the fellow who has been wondering if fife
was worth living. will conclude to hold
on until after the next circus.
The Recorder says, long live the circus,
| the years.-Durham Recorder,

UNIQUE EXHIBIT.
The Seaboard Air Line at the Atlanta
Exposition.

The exhibit of the Seaboard Air
Line Company at the Atlanta Expo
sition is novel and unique, and people
who have been at the Exposition talk
more about the Seabord Air Lines
show than of any other department.
The S. a. LIS exhibit is the first thing
inside the transportation building, and
it occupies double the space of any
other exhibit under that roof. One
cute arrangement is North Carolina
spring. 1t is set in stone and there
are moses and grass and tree roots
about 1t Just like nature. The spring
bubbles up from white sandy bottom,
and is fed from a reservoir of North
Carolina lithia water, from spring
along the line Of the Seaboard. Fresh
water is brought from this spring to
the reservoir every day. The company
advertises fresh North Carolina spring
water on draught daily from one to two
O'Clock, and during that hour the
spring is thronged.
Another feature Of the exhibit is the
display of North Carolina manufac-
tured goods. The samples are dis
played on cards. One feature of this
show is card bearing a sample of
velvet. People finger it and declare it
cannot be possibly made of cotton, and
yet it is product of the cotton mill at
Lincolnton. The Seaboard Air Line
has great display of fruits grown
along its line.-Charlotte Neus.

TROLLEY ROAD FROM RING WOOD
TO LITTLETON.

We see from the Weldon Ne7vs that
the enterprising business men of that
part Of Halifax county embraced by
the vicnities of Ringwood, Medoc and
Brinkleyville, are agltating the ques-
ton of building trolley road from the
first named place to Littleton, via. the
points named and the celebrated Pan
acea Springs. The GOLD LEAF would
be very glad to see such a road built
1t would do much in developing and
building up that section through which
the line would pass. The Nrzos says:
The road will run right through the
tobacco belt and will be kept busy
from September 1st to late in the
spring hauling the "golden weed"
alone, of which there were over 1000
acres planted in that section, and now
has to be hauled from Is to 50 miles
to market on wagons. Then there
will be the guano for the tobacco crop,
cotton from Ringwood, BrinkleyvilIe
and Airlie, wine from the Medoc vine
yards and Panacea waters Besides
this, the merchandise freight from
Llttleton back to these points will be
a considerable item.
In order to show that trolley roads
pay wherever operated we take the
following from the New York WoyM
in reference to trolley line between
Newburg on the Hudson and Walden,
a distance of IL miles:
"During the month Of August three
mother freight cars were in use. These
carried from eight to twelve tons each,
and the trailers accompanying them
had each a capacity of from six to
eight tons. As the operating expenses
for August were but trifle over 40 per
cent. of the gross receipts, it is evident
that the only question of the roads
future usefulness is that of building up
business large enough to keep up its
cars actively employed. The ques-
ton hardly exists. The future of the
trolley as local feeder for rivers and
steam railroads seems we'll assured. In
a few years it is probable that such
feeders will be built everywhere. The
handling of freight by electric roads
seems destined to exert a far-reaching
influence On both production and
transportation.

NO TIME FOR HARSH TALK.

In speaking of the enthusiastic well

George Washington even when she

MRS. PATTIE D. +. ARLINGTON.
She Writes Editor Creecy Letter

She Writes Editor Cfeecy Il Letter
and Calls Him Naughty Boy.
Mrs. Patlie d. B. Arlington has
taken our venerable friend Brother
Creepy, of the Elizabeth City Eeono-
mist, to task for calling her sold and
ugly" AS we published his article
we print the following. Commenting
on her letter to him Editor Creecy
says:
We received a spicy epistle on
Tuesday from this famous woman,
from which we prepublish some senti-
ments below, and we regret that we
cannot publish the entire letter, but it
is too emphatic for publication, and is
considered confidential.
She regards Us as "terrlble
naughty boy" second only to GER
tain ex-Judge of the Superior Court of
North Carolina. OF him, she says,
that in late editorial we "thrashed
him over her shoulders, and should
have done so on his unprincipled
back" and not over the shoulders Of
an cold ugly woman who could not
help her age or ugliness." She says
that the Judge aforesaid "showed his
intelligence and pluck by calling a
lady a liar, and his patriotism has
been proven by his being kicked out
of the Democratic party, and trying to
hoo-a doc the P. P. by his cunning and
tricky ways, to get them to vote for
him for some office, perhaps Cover
nor" She then says: "1t is real
laugha5le to even imagine such
thing; he is getting them under heavy
obligation, being their silent and Sc
cret adviser, and should expect some
big compensation for his faithful SER
vices. To look on and know the
wheel in the wheels picnic, with
out the lunch, and enjoyable beyond
expression, but the poor criminal had
just as we'll put up tombstone near
his home, for he is dead dead !
dead !! and he knows the situation OF
things and is no doubt living on the
last Aobe. The very demons from
Hades could not hold him a light,
could you have seen him when | told
him he had defrauded me, rip out
You are a Lar! You are liar! She
then turns to US in wrath and says ego
to your mother, young man and ask
her forgiveness in calling one of her
own sex ugly and old. By the time
you get to be man you will only be
fit to associate with the New Woman
| have heard talk about
In seperate paragraph of his paper
Brother Creecy says
An epistle from Mrs. Patsy AIRING
ton (nee GreeD of Spier Whitaker
fame, was in our mail of Tuesday. 1t
is in reply to late editorial in which
we ungallantly called her cold and
ugly" She says if we live to be old
we'll be sorry for using such ungallant
words.
Reflection seems to temper the
EtoAomist mans spirit of levity and
he becomes more gallant and sympa
thetic. Hear him:
We take back all the ugly words we
said about Mrs. P. d. B. Arlington,
and crave pardon. From pamphlet
which we have read about her, she is
''more sinned against than SHINING"
in her past history, and our levity is
turned to sympathy for her whose cup
of sorrow has been full to overflow.
Determined upon making all the
atonement possible for having been
such "naughty boy" he pays the
lady this parting compliment:
Aunt Patsy Arlington says she was
one of the pretty girls CT Nash county
in her heydey of life.
