Keeping the State Rum MILL

COLUMBIA, July 3.-The State board Of
control issued an order to-day in which
they instruct the county dispensers to
ship all empty bottles purchased by them
to the State ~dispensary. The circular
states that only three kinds of empty bot
ties are to be purchased by the dispensers.
They are the half-pint Jo-Jo's, for which
twelve and one-half cents per dozen will
be allowed; one-pint Jo-Jo's, fifteen cents
per dozen, and eighteen cents per dozen
for the round quart bottles.
A good many complaints have been
made in the past about the dispensers
specializing on empty bottles. 1t Is
hoped by the board that the order issued
this morning in reference to the bottle
purchasing will settle the matter.

donated that magnificent lot corner Of
Main and Queen streets, containing
about one-fourth Of an acre, This lot is
sometimes called the Kramer lot. 1t is
very elevated, and Is an ideal spot for a
library.
It is q quiet, restful place and still Is
near the churches and business portion
Of the town. Beautiful trees skirt the
sidewalks; and all in al, ii is the best
location at all accessible IN Durham.
II was decided not 10 undertake 10

The FIRST installments upon subscrip-
tions fall due August j. next
The HERALD cannot speak in terms
Of too great praise Of this decided step
BY the trustees. II Is informed that
much enthusiasm was developed at the
meeting.
One thought was upperniost in the
minds Of all the trustees present and
that was that Durham could not afford
to let the world know that she had
undertaken this great work and then
ignobly failed.
The lot i large enough for much or.
namenistion and this will soon be The
favoiite resort Of all the people Of Dur
ham. Durham needs public parks and
more shade trees. The library lot is the
first public spot in Durham 10 meet this

Great Loss in Eastern Carolina.


SCOTLAND NECK. N. c, July
I4.-(Special to News and Obser
yer. )-Roanoke river freshet is do
ing more damage than it has done
since 1867. Yesterday news came
from Caledonia farm, near Tillery,
that the dykes had broken and the
farm was submerged. 1t was
thought safe and the water had
begun to fall but having been
standing against the dyke for sew
eral days it had penetrated, and
when it broke 400 feet of it were
swept ont and the farm was under
water in an hour. The loss to
this farm is estimated at $4,000.
The water was over 900 acres of
corn and 600 acres of cotton. The
corn loss is estimated at ten thous.
ands barrels. and the cotton four
hundred bales. There are still
nearly three thousand acres Of the
farm not covered. The general loss
along the river is great. Many
persons in Scotland Neck have
farms and crops there and a great
part 81 them is lost.
The crops on high lands have
suffered considerably from the
rains. There was something like
a cloud>burst near Tillery Satur-
day night. The clouds settled
down and seemed to stand still
and the rain poured for hours.
The railroad track was seriously
washed out. Hands had been al
work all day Sunday and Monday

he came back and gave out tht
following non sensical statement
"No political issue is involved
in the coming election. the ques'
tion to be decided is far deeper
and more vital. The perpetuity
Of republican institutions has been
threatened. Every loyal citizen
should ally himself against the
forces which controlled the Chi
Icago convention-forces of law
iessness, which are inconsistent
with the maintenance of the re-
public. - -
"Henceforth there should be no
Republican--no Democrat-but a
union Of loyal citizens against the
combined forces of reputation
and disorder. When once this
dangerous element has been
stampeded out at the polls by an
indignant people We can again
discuss political questions which
for generations have kept alive the
two great political parties.''
Because the delegates to Chica-
90 acted like men and adopted a
platform in favor of the great mass
of suffering humanity he calls
them "forces of lawlessness." It
is true that "henceforth there
should be 10 republican-no de-
mocrat." Next November the
thousands of slaves in this land,
regardless Of party, will throw off
the yoke of oppression placed on
their shoulders by the Wall Street
and English money kings. The
victory will be greater than the
one won by our forefathers in
1876
The victory is coming and
Cleveland, Carlisle & Co., foresee
its shadows and know that their
reign of bossism and greed is near
ing its close and are signalling"
ont through their agent-Mr.
Hamlin- Their days are num-
bered" and they know it.
