It was all one way, so far as this state
was concerned. In fact it seems to be
about all one way over the entire country.
In Noith Carolina the republicans were
not in it. The democrats had a red-letter
day a bargain day, and they scooped
up everything. There is no use to talk
any longer about it. If there ever were
any republican roosters they are sick
to-day, and will be sick to-morrow. The
democratic roosters are feeling very
good, as are also the democratic politi
cians. At 2 o'clock this afternoon the returns
of this county were canvassed and showed
the following :

The latest from Pennsylvania is that
Pattison was elected. In short over all
the country large democratic gains are
reporte. The McKinley bill, Tom Reed
and the force bill played the very mis
chief. Tiik Globe has merely printed the
news. Now that election is all over let
us roll up our sleeves and turn in for
good hard work in the matter of upbuild
ing the South. Politics will not be much
of a factor for a year, unless it is a little
flurry in May, and a year's hard work in
booming the South will accomplish more
than all the politics this side of hades
or the other side where it all eventually
goes, taking those who monkey with it
along.
DURHAM DOINGS.
The Day's Record of Current Events In
the City and Vicinity.
It was a cold day for some of the
candidates because Sander's ice house
was one of the polling places.
A large crowd from Durham, in
cluding a number of ladies, left last
night for Raleigh to attend the circus to
day. The mail carriers were delayed in
their rounds this morning by the east-
bound train, which was nearly two hours
late.
We are glad to rie that Mr. J. M.
Whitted, who has been confined to his
room since Saturday, is able to be out
again.
Durham lodge No. 75, I. O. O. F.,
meets to-night at 7:30. Important busi
ness will come up and every member is
earnestly requested to be present.
Mr. Eakes, finding his hogshead in
sufficient for his growing trade, has ad
ded a sure enough house In front of it
and is preparing to do busineas on a large
scale.
An old time citizen of Durham writes
to The Globe asking the definition of
the word boom. He states that he has
never seen one and would not recgnize it
if he met it in the street. For reply TnE
Globe refers him to the Consolidated and
Mutual Land companies.
Prof. E. A. Alderman, has succeeded
in interesting all the teachers and many
others in his work. To-morrow morn
ing at 11 o'clock Professor Alderman
will talk on education, and all persons
in this work and all persons should be.
are requested to be present at the court I
house.
A party of railroad men took a day
off and started down to Raleigh to take
in the circus. On arriving in Durham
they concluded that they could put in
the time mote pleasantly here and so are
spending the day in Durham, where there
are many things better worth seeing than
a circus.
The latest thing in the way of enter
tainments is the chrysanthemum show,
billed for Thursday, the 13th inst. In
another column The Globe publishes a
a direct call to the ladies of the town
from those having the affair in charge,
and as the proceeds are to be given to a
most worthy object, they should all go to
work and make it a success.
The Durham boys are having a great
time in Raleigh to-day. Large crowds
went down to see the elephant, and it is
so seldom that poor old Raleigh has an
elephant she is making the most of it.
The street parade was headed by Col.
Robert Carr, who rode the three-tailed
whangdoodle and played "The Camels
are Coming" on a Scotch bag-pipe.
Five sections of the show train bear
ing the precious living freight of Colonel
Barnum's traveling menagerie, passed
through to Raleigh at an early hour this
morning, and the officials in charge of
the outfit are congratulating themselves
that the journey was made without an
accident of any kind, and on the safe de
livery of the animals, including the big
elephant and the wooly horse.
The following were registered at the
Claiborn to-day : E. K. Wright, Wilson ;
E. D. Steele, D. G. Devenish, W. II.

THE TOBACCO MARKET.
What Mr. Alex Walker Has to Say on the
Suhject.
The election is over and the country is
safe. Tobacco sales are running with
unusual life. The weather being cool,
the receipts are not very large. The sales
last until dinner. Prices are stiller on
common grades and no lower on any
grades. We notice Mr. Wni. Henry Jonest
the wrapper man of Richmond, watching
the market very closely. The talk was
about the election returns. Any man
wants to hear the latest news. Not many
talking about tobacco, but doing some
good bidding all the same. We of late
have had no good tobacco season, there
fore the breaks have not been so large
for some days, but the same demand for
all grades, with increased animation for
the lower grades, with an upward ten
dency all the time. Why it is so we can
give no good reason, and in fact we think
there is really none. It ma be this:
Some men have but little money and
want to buy tobacco and have to buy the
inferior grades to count pounds, but our
advice to such is to buy a better grade
and buy fewer pounds? It will take less
labor to handle it and less freight to trans
port it. Our opinion is the better grades
of tobacco in this crop will be the safest
investment to get your money back.
There will be a demand for this crop as
long as any of it can be found in the
country, and when it is all gone enquiries
will still be made for the 1890 crop of
North Carolina tobacco.

MORE ABOUT WATER !
The Water Company Denies thejlt&
mors Afloat
And Claims That Its Service Meets All
Requirements of a Contract.
MR. HOLMAN TALKS ON THE SUBJECT
Now Let the Commissioners Get Down
And Prove Their Claims or Do
.Something.
Since an editorial was in type and
printed concerning the water company,
Mr. W. S. Holman, superintendent of the
water company called at this office and
made some statements which very mate
rially changes the aspext of the water
question in this city. The Globe does
not desire to any one an injustice, and
especially an enterprise which helps the
city.
Mr. Holman claims that during the fire
at the Parrish building it is true that the
water was not thrown to the top of the
building from the fact that two streams
of water were taken from a hydrant, and
that the company claimed that water in
two streams could not be thrown that
high. A hose was attached to one hy
drant on Main street and threw water on
top of the building. He claims that any
single stream will be thrown high enough.
This is the logic of it and seems reasona
ble. So far as the supply of water is
concerned Mr. Holman claims that there
is always sufficient water in the reservoir.
During the fire at the Parrish building
there was but 100,000 gallons used, some
four hundred thousand gallons being in
the reservoir after the fire.
The Edison recording gage, one of the
best in the country, shows that the sup
ply and pressure has been the same for a
year and over, and that there has been
no decrease.
As to the quality of the water, Mr. Hol
man says that it is better than it has been.
Improvements at the reservoir had made
it impossible for snakes or toads to get
into the water and the rumor that it was
impure was false.
This is the water company's side of
the case, and we believe that if this is
true, and Mr. Holman says he can prove
his assertions, that it is time to let up on
the wa'ter business.
If the town is growing and the supply
is not sufficient for a larger place, it can
not be the fault of the company. The
city will be obliged to increase its works,
but it will also be obliged to pay for the
increase.
In the meantime The Globe believes
that the water committee should make a
complete investigation and see which
side of the story is correct. The Globe
has heard two sides now and is further at
sea than when it commenced to talk
about it. Some one is evidently badly
mistaken, or else the contract is misun
derstood. All interested are honorable
men, and a misunderstanding seems to
prevail.

A SAMPLE CASE.
Nebraska, Always Republican, Goes Dem
ocratic by file Odds. "
A telegram from Col. J. B. Haynea,
and Gen. Ed P. Roggen, of the Omaha
Bee, to the editor of this paper says that
Boyd, democrat, is elected governor of
Nebraska by 5,000 ; Bryan, democrat is
elected over Connell for congress in first
district by 4,000 ; Harlan, republican in
second district is defeated, and Banker
Dorsey in third cleaned out. This makes
Nebraska democratic the first time in
her history. She generally has gone re
publican by 20,000.

A FAMILIAR NAME.
One of the Old Time Finns of Durham
Who Always Treat Customers Well.
A name that is familliar with all peo
ple who buy goods in Durham and sur
rounding counties is "Wyatt Brothers."
This popular firm has been before the
people seven years, and in all that time
its trade has never decreased, but on the
contrary grown each year. Selling goods
at both wholesale and retail, they buy in
large quantities, and accordingly sell
cheap. Thep have regular customers
with both city and country folks, and
when they once secure a customer they
always retain him. In the line of gro
ceriesespecially in the staple lines
their stock is one of the fullest and most
complete in Durham county. They pay
strict attention to their business, and
when they represent an article to be so
and so it may be set down as a fact that
it is just as represented. The Globe
can recommend this firm without hesi
tancy. To the farmers who come to
Durham to sell their produce we want to
say to them that they cannot do better
than to give the Wyatt Brother's a
call. Their place of business is the same
old stand, just across from the post office,
between the old Reams' and Banner
warehouses. Those who go there for
anything in the grocery line will come
away pleased, there is no question con
cerning this proposition.
One of the old time Durham business
men is Charles Postly, jeweler, lie is
situated on Main street, and carries the
largest and best selected stock of jewelry,
watches, clocks, plated and solid ware in
the city. Mr Postly settled in Durham
in 187o, and by attention to business,
dealing in good goods and selling things
as he represented them, he has built up
an extensive trade. The Globe takes
pleasure in calling to its readers atten
tion the fact that for the fall trade Mr.
Postly has the largest stock ever ex
hibited in Durham. He proposes to sus
tain his reputation by selling at a living
figure and guaranteeing all goods. In
dealing with a man who has established
himself, as Mr. Postley has, the pur
chaser feels confident that he is not being
robbed. A glance through Postley's will
convince anyone that he has the goods.
Ask him prices and that will convince
you that his store is the place to deal.
To both our country and city readers we
sav. zive Mr. Postlev a call when in
want of anything carried by a first-class
jewelry store. Repairing given special
attention.
Darnall and Thomas enjoy the dis
tinction of being the only firm in Dur
ham dealing exclusively in musical in
struments and direct with manufacturers,
thus giving their customers the benefit of
commission usually made by the middle
man. Mr. Thomas is old in the business
and understands what he is about, having
gained his experience in piano and organ
factories, where he has made a study of
these instruments in all their details
He has been engaged in his present
business of selling instruments for the
past eleven years, three of which have been
spent in Durham, during which time he
has become identified with the town and
people. If you need anything, either in
new or second hand instruments, call on
or address them at Shelburn'a art gallery.

PiTTsnono, N. CM Sept. 23, 1800.
To the Durham Medicated Cigarette Co.:
Gents I have used your Medicated
Cigarettes for Headache and Insomnia,
and have been greatlv benefited by them.
Especially tor 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 sutferer.
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

TO INVESTORS
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 in November, 18S7, beginning business Jan
uary 1, 18S3, and has been successful from the beginning. Some of the
staunched financial men in the state, non-residents of Durham, are
numbered among the stockholders of the bank. Since the organization
the bank has paid $1G,000 in dividends to its shareholders and has to
the credit of surplus and undivided profits to-day $15,000.
The Bank has an established and growing business and it is the judg
ment of the Board of Directors that, with an increase of capital, the
bank can show an increase of earnings without any material increase
of expense. The Directors feel almost warranted in saying that the
bank ought to earn a dividend each year of 8 per cent, besides provid
ing a satisfactory amount to be carried to the credit of surplus and un
divided profits. The stock of the bank has always been regarded as
"gilt edge," and in truth it has been next to impossible to buy it at all.
The large crops which will spek a market at Durham this fall and
winter, the large amount of valuable business already permanently
located here, the large increase of business which the near future prom
ises to develop, and the general growing commercial interest of Dur
ham, the Directors think justify them in making the increase. The
value of the stock, as shown by the books of the bank to-day, is $115
per share, at which price the new stock is offered.
Books of subscription will be opened this day a( the bank, and per
sons desiring to secure stock should apply promptly, as several applica
tions are already on file. Very respectfully yours,
J. S. CARR, President.
