EXPLANATIONS OF CONGESTION.
One Reason Given Is that the Ehzabethport
Docks Are Old.

To explain why large amounts Of coal were stand
ing unIoaded in various things were told
One was that the ElizabethpOrt aocks were old and
not able to handle all the coal shipped For this
reason IT was said the Central Railroad OF New
Jersey was directing much os its tonnage 20 Port
Liberty.
That this coal is being held back by the indie
pendents for higher prices was freely asserted BY
many yesterday.
The dealers in the city naturally deny Indignantly
that they are responsible for the short supply In
the city and absolutely refuse TO admit that they
are buying only what they sell at high figures.
Lack OF dock facilities is not sufficient TO account
for the large number of cars outside the city. At

the largest four-page papers in North
Carolina and secured circulation that
was unprecedented in the history of news
papers in the South. Added to its tenn
perance feature, it had it's literary feature
also containing in each issue a well
written story by authors reared in our
own State. Mr. German made money on
the venture, and until the war approach

led to secession diverted the minds of the
people from temperance, his circulation
continued to grow. But, the dark cloud,
on the political horizon, soon overshadow-
ed the country, and the temperance ques
ton was largely forgotten, or at least
neglected, and of course THE Spirit of

the war Mr.. German, having sold the pa

associate editor of the Daily Confeder-
ate" which position he held until his
death, which occurred the last year OF

after the war, when it ceased to be pub
lished. Afterwards, another paper was
started by the same name, by T. n. Ram

of temperance in our State was the one

OF DAYS THAT ARE GONE

Editors.

To the Editor: The first newspaper in

Leonidas Lemay, son of Rev. Thomas

Raleigh Star, which was published ON Sal
isbury street in an old building that has
been removed of late years. and become

size of the "Microcosm, the paper above
referred to. but suppose, as 1 now think
of it, that it was about the size OF a sheet

would interest boys and girls. but the
articles bore the earmarks OF more ex
pericnced journalism than Leonidas.
though very smart boy was supposed to,
possess. But, an experience of over forty
years in the printing business has long
since established in me the opinion that
two or three years in the old time print
ing office would develop even the devil
into right smart boy, at an early age.
and, If he stuck to his business closely he
would average long way, III the course
of time, above the more fortunate boys
who spent their first years at school, and
did not have to play printers devil.
Therefore, ] am prepared to believe that

filled so large place among the youth

Ex-Governor w. w. Holden was the edi-

and was, from the time he became estab-

1858, when he began to aspire to Congress

splendid services he had rendered that
party he certainly was entitled to prefer

helped to make politically. At the Demo

which they did The Standard supported
Judge Ellis for Governor, but it was un-
derstood that the editor had become very
greatly soured on his party because of its
lngratituue to him. AT that time and for
some years previous thereto, Frank J.
Wilson. ESQ, was associate editor of the
Standard and did good service in the in
terest of Mr.. Holden's aspirations for of
flee, and was wltAal a good writer and a
very clever gentleman. He went to Har-
per's Ferry, Va, to see old John Brown,
the murderer and the inciter of negro in
surrection, hung, and brought home with
him as a relic, which was priced very
highly In the Standard office, piece of
the rope that broke old Johns neck. 1t
was still on exhibition at that office at
the beginning and during the war; but
since old John has got to be a saint and
his soul keeps marching on, it would be
proper thing to place that section of rope,
if it is still in existence and can be iden-
attached giving a short history of old John
and his murderous career, and especially
of the attempt he was making at the time
he was arrested and hanged, to bring
about a wholesale rising of the negro
population of the South to murder the
whites. That, or something of the sort,
should be done, for our children are re-
auired to study books that speak of old
John as martyr who died for his coun-
try, and make those who took part i'll
the arrest and hanging of him a set of
murderers. Our children should know the
truth, and the truth is, John Brown was
a murderer, and was justly hanged and
he is either fool or an ignoramus of the
SUIT Lovengood stripe, who tries to make
a saint of that fomenter of strife and
bloodshed. But no more of that now
though later, l may take up the matter
again.
I said there were three ably edited pa
per. The Raleigh Register established by
Joseph Gales, was perhaps, at the time
of which I write, better known and more
generally read than any other State paper
It's editor was Western r. Gales a man
of great popularity, both as editor and
private citizen, and whenever on the
street he was sure to be the centre of a
crowd of gentlemen who flocllcd about
him because of his amiableness of char

had a great big heart that ~os easily
