A Beautiful Floral Offering.

Maj. J c. Winder, who departed this
life at his home in Raleigh early Sun.
day morning, was beloved by all who
knew him and especially those who
were under him during the time he was
in the railroad business. a
In appreciation of the high regard in
which he was held, the employees OF
the Durham & Northern road in this
city, sent down a most beautiful floral
offering yesterday. 1t was one Of the
prettiest designs ever seen in Durham
and was gotten up by R. Hibberd, the
Durham florist.
The design was cross in a large
base, composed of marschaneal roses
and above the cross, setting obiiquely,
was an anchor. The beautiful design,
together with the rare flowers of which
it was composed, made a lovely floral
offering which is beyond description
a semblance of the character Of the
man in whose memory it was given.
When it comes to floral designs R.
Hibberd is hard to beat.

ST. LOUIS, No, March 40.
The arrival here Of Lewis Ginter,
OF Allen and Ginter, and John
Pope, Of the American Tobacco
company, produced a stir among
local tobacco manufacturers and
dealers today.
A rumor that they are here 10

factories Is met BY positive asser

ries are not for sale. The most
plausible reasons seem 70 be that
they are here to enlarge what il

About The Major.

From the News and Observer
of yesterday, we take the fol.
lowing about Durham's popu.
list candidate for governor:
Maj. William A. Guthrie was
here yesterday.
He, Of course, came down on
"privats business" but every
time the meeting Of the republi.
can committee was mentioned,
he smiled a bland satisfactory
smile, and laughed in his sleeve
in a low undertone.
Mai. Guthrie is the only popu-
list of prominence who is chas-
ing the nomination for COVER
nor, but the major frankly
acknowledges that he is trailing
after the said office.
s'Will the populists demand
the governor in case Of fusion!"
q reporter asked him.
You bet," was the empha-
tic reply; "the populists are 20.
ing to have the governor or fu-
sion does not CO."
"How will you accomplish
that!n
I'VE are going TO let the re-
publicans finish their campaign
and settle their own fight, and
then we will see them about
the governor.
The major had been talking
to Father Worth and the popu.
list treasurer smiled in an APP
proving way.
Gust wait and see; vel have
the governor" said the major
as he boarded the train.

and feuds. 1t is on the verge
of disintergration. The fractional
conflicts within its ranks are
bitter beyond words apparent
ly more irreconcilable than the
hatred, twenty-five years ago,
between the southern democracy
and the invading army Of the
carpet-baggers. We have seen
the democracy in Maryland and
in Kentucky sacrificing demo-
cratic states to their fratricidal
animosities. We see them in
Kentucky today sacrificing a
democratic senatorship in the
same unholy cause. Every
where we find embittered fac
tons, ready to fly at each 9TH
er's threats, ready to surrender
to the enemy rather than bow
to the majority within them
selves, ready to wreck, to ami
hilate the party in the prosecu-
ton Of q senseless rancor. The
American people find nothing
in the prospect to which they
can pin a hope however faint.
AS things stand now, the demo-
cratic party is no more fit to
make a serious contest against
the republican party, or to i'm
pose upon it the least restraint
Of prudence and moderation,
than the followers Of Coxey or
Henry George or Parkhurst are.
The republicans have an open
path before them, and at its end
stands a tyrannical, lrresponsi-.

Discoveries Made by Geological Ex-
ploring Party.
Sioux City, Ia, Aug. 26.-The geo.
logical exploring party from the South
Dakota state university which left
Vermillion, S. D., early in the summer
for tour of the dad lands" has re-
turned with collection of specimens
weighing nearly ton. Characteristic
specimens of about twenty extinct
species of vertebartes were found, to-
gether with twice that number of in
dividuals. The most valuable was the
complete skull of a titanotherium, a
kind of gigantic hog with horns.
Many forms not yet determined were
included in the collection.
The records of many geological sec
tions were opened, throwing light on
the natural history of the state, and
adding vastly to possibilities of the
agriculturist. One of the problems
which Professor Todd, chairman of
the expedition, proposes to solve at his
leisure concerns the agricultural bene-
fit of mixing the cretaceous soils and
the silts and marls Of the teritr,y for
nation.
He also intends to look for means by
which the clay solution called water
in the bad lands can be precipitated
and made fit for drink, and to dis
cover, if possible, new water courses
in the barren region where water
supply is at present unknown.
