AnIntervrew with Durrant.
Richmond Dispatch.

Richmond Dispatch.
The Rev Il. Allen Upper, Jr., Of
Balimora, who was lately in San Fran
cisco en- route to China and Japan, on a
tour around the world, writes to the Bal
timore Sun, by the courtesy ofthe sheriff
of that city, he spent an hour in the
company of Durrant, who Is accused of
the crime of the century Mr. Topper
says that the phrenologist would Ger
tainly class DurraUt as "bad." His low
forehead, watery, blue eyes, fiat nose,
and weak mouth impress one unfavOr e.
bly,, land, although, in conversat n he
is calm and edphatic in his delarati MS
of innocence, you are not at all inclined
to acquit him in your m nd as you take
leave of him"
Mr.. Upper says the evidence against
Durrant is entirely circumstan ial, and
the opinion is growing that "the jury
may hang themselves, but cannot hang
this man, who, in al probability, is t e
murderer of Blanche Lamont, and
Minnie Williams"

To the Editor of the News and Observer:
Will you allow few lines in the NEWS
AND OBSERVER from one who has no per-
sonal Interest in the matter on the above
subject?
The State Alliance, while on the
ground thought this the proper place for
the shoe factory, and the committee so
decided What has changed their minds ?
Gary is in the same place, and has not
changed. The people here are just as
friendly towards the enterprise as they
ever were, and just as anxious torit
Is it just because one of our
most en- ferprising citizens saw fit
to bid twenty-five dollars more than
they did, and thereby get cheap piece
of property, and inaugurate an enter
prise greatly TO his own benefit and for
the benefit of he town2 Was every
enterprise to be shut of for that2 Surely
not.
Now there are plenty Of nice locali-
ties for the shoe factory here, and four
or five thousand dollars will put them
up commod GUS building for their bust
ness, and the public are anxious for it.
They are no. able to offer much material
aid. Yet they will give it hearty
welcome This is certainly the place for
it in my humble judgment. know of no
place IN North Carolina equal to it for
manufacturing plants. Only eight miles
from the capital of the State, right on
the line between the cotton and the to-
bacco sections, above the malarial belt,
so healthy that it almost perishes the
doctors, two great railroads passing right
through it, giving transportation facili-
ties equal to any place in the State, with
cheap land, cheap wood, cheap every
thing, and of the very best moral and
religions influences, with no grog shop,
one of the most pleasant communities in
the world to live among All these and
much more that might be said make it
the very place for the Alliance Shoe
Factory.

The Tube Rose Industry in Duplin.
Review.

Wilmington Review.
Mr.. N II. Carter, of Teachey's, who
was in the city day, tells us that the
tube rose farmers are preparing to gather
the bulbs for shipment North They
will be rushing them about the first of
November. There are between $50 and
200 acres devoted to the culture of these
bulbs in DupIin county, all along the
line of the Wilmington and Weldon Rail-
road. The yield is generally an average
of 25 barrels to the acre, and they are
worth about 81 per barrel This is 500
to the acre, and it is expected that the
culture of these bulbs will this year
drop from $4,000 to $40 900 in
Duplin.
These bulbs are shipped to florists
North and West, and it Is a curious fact
that many of them find their way back
here from the hands of these florists
who, of course, make handsome profit
by the transaction.
