WEDNESDAY, MAY 1880. 
The Executive Committee of 
the X. Press Association, held 
a meeting in Raleigh, last Friday. 
and decided to hold the next con- 
in Durham. Durham is a 
live little city, and the editors will 
enjoy the session there, but taking 
what the papers have been saying 
for the last few weeks we believe 
the majority of them were in favor 
of going to Ocracoke. lint the 
die is cast, so we will all go to 
Durham and take a trip to the 
ocean afterward. 
The was glad to re- 
recently a copy of the Ad- 
Basic City, Va., and to find 
that Mr. . Lindsay was editor. 
Mr. Lindsay was once Secretary 
of the X. C. Press 
edited the in 
this State. Basic City is one of 
the new places has recently 
come into such noted prominence 
before the world and its bids fair 
to be a city indeed in a short 
while. The makes nu 
admirable beginning and we hope 
to see much of it in future. 
to it. 
Notwithstanding the large 
of lives that have been lost 
from such carelessness, and tho 
thousands of warnings raised, 
some people will continue to light 
tires kerosene oil. The 
Durham Hun tells of a horrible 
death in that city last week, which 
occurred from this cause. A 
named Lottie Walters, about 
years of age, was assisting her 
mother in domestic affairs and, in 
kindling the fire took a can of oil 
and poured some of it on the 
lighted A terrific ex- 
followed, the can burst 
and saturated the girl's dross with 
the oil and in a second she was

the same number. The plan is not 
to count the while taking 
the census in the Southern States. 
Then they want to gain about the 
same number on their side by do- 
some pretty liberal counting 
in the Republican States. So the 
next census need not be looked 
forward to as an honest record of 
the population of our nation, as 
the returns are to be doctored to 
suit a horde of Republican thieves 
and if possible secure their 
cession in power. And Speaker 
Reed has also been telling of a 
trick they have on hand. He 
recently went to a Republican 
club meeting op in 
and made a speech. His effort 
was a tirade of abuse and lies

The tariff

Canada, as well. 
The blunders and mistakes of 
those having the

retarded its success. It was a miss

four terms in Congress and since

for tho place that caused bis conn-

At it passed everybody along the 
street rushed out to see the drove in 
which we are told there were between

through the county buying all the 
sheep they could. We hear they 
also bought about in the upper

driven to Wilson to be shipped.

Goose is of no more 
to Greenville under the existing 
schedule than was the mixed train. 
We had hoped that when the

This would be 
all right if the advertised schedule 
could be carried out Instead of 
this, however, it will be the exception 
and not the rule when the train 
reaches Greenville on time. The 
cause of this delay is the S N. G.

We had hoped that when the 
was put on it would leave 
Greenville later each morning, say at 
or o'clock, and return earlier in 
the evening, say about o'clock. 
But the change is only minutes 
at each end, that is leaves here 
later than 
and is scheduled to arrive 
This would be 
all right if the advertised schedule 
could be carried out Instead of 
this, however, it will be the exception 
and not the rule when the train 
reaches Greenville on time. The 
cause of this delay is the S N. G. 
trains being required to wait at the 
junction for the A. It. from 
Tarboro; and this latter train is 
ways behind time, frequently as 
much as two hours. Now it the 
will place a passenger train 
on the A. A road, or let the con 
from Tarboro be made over 
the C. road at Hobgood with 
our train, so they can come on to 
Greenville on time, a great favor will 
be conferred upon the people at this 
end of the line. 
The freight will now run 
leaving Greenville Tues- 
day, Thursday and Saturday morn- 
at returning Monday, Wed-
