of The Globe.
Washington, D. C, Nov. 5, 12 m.
(Special to The Globe) At this hour it
is impossible to tell just what has been
done. News from Nebraska two re
ports are conflicting. One report says
that the democrats have elected a gover
nor and three congressmen, while another
ilpniea it. - " ' - '

r r. t . . i . . it... . T i . i i
t is luuugui mat uuvcruur x auibuu, I
democrtt, is defeated in Pennsylvania
and that Delemater is elected. Indiana
has undoubtedly gone democratic by fif
teen thousand. Rhode Island has elected
some new democratic congressmen. Texas
has of course gone solidly democratic.
Maryland democratic. Connecticut has
been a close shave but the democrats have
triumphed. In Montana, the new state,
which was doubtful last fall, republicans
claim the state and democrats concede
their claims. Florida has gone, as usual,
democratic. New Hampshire has gained
in democratic votes. The news from Il
linois where dirty mouthed Joe Cannon
was running, is somewhat mixed. The
democrats claim it and the other side
claims it. Private advices say that the
democrats are more certain of a victory
than the repubs. Missouri goes with her
usual democratic majority. Ohio went
hell bent republican. Tammany gobbled
New York city in all that she wanted,
electing Grant without any question. In
Virginia, the Mahone disaster of last year
spread wider than this. The democrats
have won a substantial victory. In Wis
consin, where the school law was the
principal issue, the republicans have
won. One new democrat has been elecied
to congress from a district that has al
ways been republican. In Michigan,
where the returns will not be in for two
days, both sides claim a victory. The
slow returns make it impossible to give
anything authentic from this point. We
have news here private advices that
one eyed Tillman is elected governor in
South Carolina. Prominent politicians
iu mis cny agree inai me ueniocvais
have made gains over the entire country.
They contribute the result to the Mc
Kinley bill and the force bill, together
with other intrigues of the last congress.
Kansas, as usual will go republican, the
alliance members deserting their tickets
on the last day. It will be two or threo
days before a correct estimate caa be
given Heath.
Raleigh, N. C, Nov. 5. Special to
The Globe. The state of North Caro
lina has gone democratic by from fifteen
to twenty thousand majority. Mewbore,
candidate for congress in the second dis
trict, is doubtles defeated. In the eighth
district Cowles is also defeated. The
legislature will be strongly democratic,
more members being elected by that
party than for years:
Gkaham, N. C, Nov. 5. Special to
The Gloije. Alamance county goes dem
ocratic by from 250 to 400 majority. The
whole democratic ticket is elected.
So far as Durham county is concerned,
the entire democratic ticket has been
elected. The lowest man on the ticket is
Caleb Green, clerk, his majority being
about 200. Mr. Pope, for treasurer, has
been elected by about GOO majority. It
was a democratic day in these parts, and
they went to victory with a clean and
able scoop.
DURHAM DOINGS.
The Day's Record of Current Events In
the City and Vicinity.
The Parsonage Aid society will meet
at the Methodist Female seminary, Fri
day afternoon, at 3 o'clock. All are re
quested to attend.
There are enough organizations in
Durham, of one kind and another, to
keep things lively and to build a city.
But the difficulty is that each one holds
back waiting for the other to act, and the
consequence is there is nothing done.
Mr. W. H. Proctor, the live grocery
man, has added to his stock a full line of
confectionaries and fancy goods, which
will be sold at his uniformily low rales.
Miss Annie Rogers, of Alamance county,
will take charge of this department and
invites her friends to call and see her at
the Racket Grocery.

SHOUT OF WATER.
A WATER COMPANY DOES NOT LIVE
UP TO THE CONTRACT.
A Shameful State of Affairs Existing for
Over a Year in this Citv There
Is If o Water.
When the "Parrish Building" burned
it was known that the water company
did not give -supply euougu. le help ia
extinguishing the fire. It was impossi
ble to reach the third story of that build
ing. To day according to the state
ments of the members of the town board
who have investigated the matter there
is less than two feet of water in the res
ervoir. This has been the case some
time. The press in the press rooms of
The Globe which was set to run, on an
average presure of some 800 papers per
hour does not to-day run over 400. We
have one of the best moters. The force
grows less each day. The town board
did nothing tangible last niejht. The
members talked about the fact that the
company was not performing its duty.
They also requested that newspapers say
nothing. The insurance agents of this
city informed The Globe, at the time of
the Parrish fire that the M ater did not
do its duty. That there was no force.
The property of people is in jeopardy.
TnE Globe wants to know why, in a
special emergency the town board can
not call a special meeting and make de
mands of the water company? Why
should they delay about writing to Bos
ton ? This state of affairs has existed
for a year. The press and the pressman
in this office will substantiate our state
ment. The people are paying for some
thing which they do not receive. This
paper demands that the water company
do its duty or that the contract be can
celled. There is no use to keep still and
let the town be exposed. If it were
something new it would be different, but
the same state of affairs has existed for
a year. The commissioners have the
power to right this great wrong, and
they should call a special meeting this
evening and right it. The water com
pany is not doing what it agreed to do,
and we should have some protection.
HE WILL RECOVER.
The Wake Forest Student Who Wanted
to Suicide.
From a letter received to-day frcra
Wak Forest, we learn that young Lut
tie, the student who attempted suicide
Friday night by shooting himself through
the head, has been taken home and is
thought to be improving. No motives
are apparent for the contemplated self
destruction, as he was a young man of
fine parts with a promising future before
him.

. At the Union Bethel A.M. E. Church,
at Hayti, last evening, the literary exer
cises of the festival, which had been in
progress, and which will end this even
ing, were held hu the church. Mr. W.
Duke, of this - city, had been invited to
address the people, but as he could not
be present, he sent the following lVi
tive audience by John W. W rights The J
address was well received and pro
nounced the proper thing by all who
heard it. TnE Globe prints it in full,
and wants to say that it contains good,
sensible advice that all people can follow
with profiit :
Durham, N. C, Nov. 1, 1890. -
Mr. John W. Wright, Durham, North
Carolina.
Sir Being a plain, blunt man, speech-
making is not in my line; so I shall
embody what I have to say in this form,
with the request that it be read before
your people.
Five years more and I will have lived
three-quarters of a century ; nearly three
score years and ten have already marked
their conrses over my head. Not long
before I was born the cannon of Napo
leon thundered at Waterloo as the Old
Guard melted itself before the hollow
squares of the English army, when Eng
land's Iron Duke conquered the world's
most magnetic leader. Since then the
destiny of nations has changed, Lhave
seen the countries ot Europe rocked oy
terrible wars. And here in our own land
I have witnessed the greatest revolution
of them all the emancipation of your
race.
Through all these years my life has
been an active one ; and do you not be
lieve the experience I have gained during
so long a lite enaoies me to give you
good advice? I have always had a
friendly feeling toward you, and now ad
dress you in the spirit of a friend, wish
ins: if I can to help you overcomr the
I have no doubt that each one of you
would like to be a successful man, to have
your neighbors point you out a3 an ex
ample to be followed by their children.
It is right that you should have such a
feeling, for ambition is God's call to
higher living. But how shall that suc
cess be gained, how shall that feeling be
realized ?
Now, upon every man there are im
posed certain conditions which he must
observe, else he cannot make his life the
noble thing he should. There are certain
laws which are always in force, in all the
affairs of life. If you break those laws
you will be punished. I do not mean
you will be punished by being placed in
jail (although that may happen, too,) but
you will be punished by your own un
happiness. Cut your finger and the
blood will flow. Drink poison and you
will die. Be untrue to the natural re
strictions of your life, your body, your
mind, your soul, and you will surely suffer
for it. But live true to yourself, true to
your higher selves, and you will as surely
be happy.
Now, let us see what some of those
are the laws you must observe or take
the consequences. Well, one of them is
that you must be sober. If you violate
this law, if you pour down your throat
that fiery enemy to steal away your soul,
you will suffer for it as surely as when
you drink the poison. Your own body
will suffer for it, your wife, your children
will suffer for it, your soul will suffer for
it. it will be lost to everv hope. In this
life men will not respect you, you can't
respect yourselves, you die like a'dbg,
your life a miserable failure. Strong
drink is an iron hand with its fingers
clutched about your throat, ready to
strangle you.
Another law is that you must be honest.
Some people think there are short cuts
to fortune, that if they steal they will
have more of the good things of life. But
that's all a mistake. "An honest man is
the noblest work of God." 'Tis better to
enjoj' your honest dollar than your stolen
thousands.
Then again, you must be industrious.
An idle man is the meanest work of God.
Don't be afraid of hard work, don't be
always looking for a soft place, that will
come later. I have made more furrows
in God's earth than any man 40 years old
in North Carolina. And when you have
made yourself industrious, you must be
frugal. Establish it as a rule that you
will always spend less than you make. I
never closed a year's work in my life
without being happy in the knowledge
that I was better off than I was when it
began. There is no use in thinking, be
cause you can't save great sums of money
at once that there is no use in trying.
Be sure to put away one dollar every
EYEXENCr, XOTEMBEK
week In the Saving's Bank, and before
long you will have av nice little pile to
help you ' on " some rainy . day. . Ppnt
spend all your earnings for foolish, things.
Don't let some bright little trifle tempt
yoa to part with your hard-earned money,
for the day will come when -you "will
need it for something yon must have.
And when people begin to find out that
yoa are sober, industrious and frugal,
that you save your money and don't
spend it in riotous living, Ihey will begin
to respect yoa and want you to work
for them. Do your honest work for
your honest dollar, put it in your breeches
pocket, and at night when you lay down
with it under your pillow the eagle oa
it's face will sing you to sleep because
it knows yoa have earned it and mean to
spend it only as it should be spent.
iNow, the fundamental basis of every
thing is that yott must-have a good char
acter." -Without that all your efforts will
come toiHlSiXia
dustry, frugal1 all go to the making up
of character. That it is which underlies
everything. You have upon your table
a loaf of bread ; that wheat grew in the
field, upon the field streamed the sun
light, and behind the sun was God. So,
behind all your life, to control, direct
and bring it to its fruitful perfection, your
character must sit like a God.
You must guard your character as
carefully as a miser guards his gold. You
should not allow corrupt men to make
you corrupt. You all know of General
Grant, one of the greatest men who has
ever lived. Behind all the successes of
his life, his character sat as a reigning
king, pure and incorruptible; without
it he would have failed. It is said he
never swore an oath in his life, and that
he was so pure minded that he could not
bear to stay in bad company and hear
their ribald jokes. Some people think it
manly to indulge in such things ; manly
to swear, to lie, to cheat, to be drunk and
boisterous. But if such a man as General
Grant thought it more manly to let such
things alone, don't you think you might
profit by his example?
Make yourselves men of character; be
sober, industrious, frugal, honest. Then
what must you do? Live like sober,
honest men of character. Support your
churches and . your schools. Give your
litthp mite to the support of the gospel,
not because you feel it your duty, (and
yet it is your duty) not because some
body else does it, but because you know
it Is right, because you will be blessed
for it, because it will return you ten fold.
People, as a rule, depend too much
on government. They think if certain
laws are made, then the causes of their
poverty and discontent will be removed.
It is an idlu dream never to be realized.
What is government ? It is a plan adopt
ed by a whole people for the guidance of
their national life. Every single person
in this country is a part of the govern
ment. The governmental functions of
nation can be perfected only as its indi
vidual members perfect themselves. You
are a part of the government, and don't
you see, unless you strive to do your
part, to live as an honest, upright citizen,
you cannot hope to be benefitted. Rain
is a necessity the ground must be
watered before it will produce. But if
you should build a shed over your field
it might rain forever and your crops
would perish from the drought. And
what good would perfect laws do you
unless you are prepared to live under
them? A dog cannot be governed by
the rule of man. Your only hope lies
within yourselves. Be men of honest,
upright lives? Support your churches
and your schools. Regard your minister
as your highest friend, your school
teacher as the next. Work honestly for
your money, give it to help support these
institutions. Cease to rely upon outside
help, for you must work out your own
salvation. Since I was ten years old I
have been trying to make the world bet
ter by my livitfg in it. Let this be the
rule of your lives.
I have never failed to give freely to
tthe support of the gospei; l nave re-

A RARE TESTIMONIAL
What 31 r. John Morlng, of Fittsboro,
.Says of a Durham Company.
PiTTsnono, N. C, Sept. 2S,
To the Durham Medicated Cigarette Co.:
Gexts I have ued your Medicated
Cigarettes for Headache and Insomnia,
and have been greatly benefited by them.
Especially for Sleeplessness I have ex
perienced more relief than from all other
remedies that I have tried during the
eight years that I have been a sufferer.
Since using them I am almost entirely
free from Insomnia, although I have dis
continued them for nearly two months.
I can further certify that they have been
of great service to some friends to whom
I recommended them for Bronchial trou
bles. Very respectfully,
Mrs. John 31. Monrxo

TO IKrYBSTORS
The Stockholders of The First National Bank of Durham have decided
to increase the Capital Stock from $ 100,000 to $200,000. . .
The Bank was organized tn November. 1837, beginning business Jan-
staunchest financial men in the
numnereaamonir tne stockholders
the bank has paid f 16,000 in dividends to ita shareholders 3 A has to
the credit of surplus and undivided profits to-day $15,000. " J t .
The Bank has an established and growing business and it is trr seg
ment of the Board of Directors that, with an increase of capitU, the
bank can show an increase of earnings without any material Increase
of expense. The Directors feel almost warranted in saying Ih&t the .
bank ought to earn a dividend each year of 8 per cent, besides prvid
ing a satisfactory amount to be carried to the credit of surplus an un
divided profits. The stock of the bank has always been regard?) as
"gilt edge," and in truth it has been next to impossible to buy it at aiL
- The large crops which will seek a market t Durham this fall and
I winter, the large amount of valuable business already permanently
located here, the large increase ofbusiness which the near future prom
ises to develop, and the general growing commercial interest of Dur-
ham, the Directors think justify them Tn making the Increase. The
value of the stock, as shown by the books of the bank to-day, is $113
per share, at which price the new stock is offered. ' ,
