The fruit is too shaken from the trees, bruised put without sorting into barrels, arriving at its destination in a damaged condition, much of it worthless, much of it, if it finds chasers at all, has to be sold at prices that do not pay the cost of freight handling. If our apple growers do as Northern fruit growers do, carefully pick the fruit the tree, assort it when bar- for shipment, and put it on the market in a sound condition, they would that the demand for the Northern apple and North Carolina apple, which is tho equal of the Northern apple every respect, find open and profitable markets.

It announced on Tuesday that it would appear no more, and gave as a reason for failure that the pat- received was insufficient. The Glob was a good paper and the neatest in appearance of any in the State. It had been our ion that Durham was a city of pride and enterprise, but letting a good newspaper die in its midst reverses such an opinion entirely. To the vary last of its existence the Durham Globe advocated the n State in 1891. That paper the idea and many of its con- temporaries fell readily into line in advocacy of the Exposition. While the Globe does not live to see the full realization of its hopes, we believe that one evidence of its good work will live after it. We believe the exposition will be held and the Globe has the credit of starting the movement. In the same issue in which its suspension was announced that paper had the following to say With the last energy that remains the Globe shouts a word in behalf of the State Exposition in 1891. This paper was the first to sound the key note tor this grand undertaking two years hence.

The death of such a great man can truly be mourned as a great- loss. On Saturday Fowle pointed Associate Justice A. S. Merrimon Chief Justice of the Court of North Carolina to succeed the late Chief Justice Smith. Judge Walter Clark, of the Superior Court bench, was pointed to succeed Justice as Associate Justice. Spier Whitaker, Esq., was appointed upon the Superior Court bench to succeed Judge Clark. Commenting upon the appoint- of Judge Merrimon, the Ra- Observer says The people of North Carolina will applaud the action of Gov. Fowle the high office of Justice upon Hon. Merrimon who worthily succeeds the jurist whose death the State mourns. Judge life is a part of the history North Car- and but few of our men are so well known to our people as he is. But generally the people of North Car- have a just estimate of his great worth and legal attainments, and they will recognize the entire appropriateness of his succeeding to the mantle so admirably worn by the distinguished Chief Justice of this State. Upon the appointment Judge k the same paper The announcement that Gov. Fowle has appointed Judge Walter Clark to the vacant place on the Court Bench will give great satisfaction to his friends throughout North Carolina. On the bench Judge Clark has filled the promise of bis fine ties. He has won for himself a high and the people of the State have not withheld from him an expression of their confidence appreciation. Possessed of a mind eminently judicial in its ties, finely cultivated by laborious Study, and capable of indefatigable exertion, he will adorn the Supreme Bench and be found in all respect to the discharge of the res- duties of that exalted There must be some big fools among those who style themselves Advertising Agents, or else they look upon the editors of country weeklies as a very small gullible set who have just about sense a-, mill are existing in this world only as tools for the Agents to make a out of. They send out liberal propositions that its i wonder all the newspaper publish- in the country have not long ago made fortunes and retired from business. Here are some of the latest propositions the Ton has Perhaps the most one ever sent out by any concern comes from a set of cranks styling themselves the News- paper Advertising business at Nashville, Tenn. They are catching on to the tricks of their Northern brethren Quite fast. This postal card are authorized by Dr. Parker's cal and Surgical Institute to offer yon for insertion of enclosed advertisement one year, paper to be sent to advertisers free during continuance of Let's see what he wants for that money. The advertisement above is worth and the paper 81.50, making 811.50 that this firm has cheek enough to ask us to give them for We are surprised at them not adding the usual commission to It is hard to tell which we have the most contempt for, the Agent who will insult a pub- such a proposition or the man who places his business in the hands of the Agents to be sent out in such a manner. Another gold mine offer comes from Dr. Son., They want about worth of reading notices and offer the big sum of for same. They are so anxious for us to read their generous offer that they mail- ed two postal cards the same day, and five days later sent another. Then here comes a proposition from Athletic Publishing St. who in return for a two inch advertisement one month and a half column editorial offer to send a history of John valued at We would not give cents a dozen for them for own It is n common thing for publish- to receive just such and we will be glad of the day when they drive all such agencies out of existence by refusing to advertise for them. In fact no editor who has due respect for his business could accept such propositions as the above. Chrysanthemums are demanding the admiration of flower lovers throughout State. . able to such institutions one has too much poultry in but to look to the cities and towns of OUT country and see the many men living in comfortable houses that were obtained through these associations which they wore unable to secure in any other wax. The people of Greenville have now within easy reach the formation of a Building and Loan Association. In fact we suppose one will have been organized be- fore this article has been read, as a meeting for that purpose was to have been held at o'clock day afternoon. Mr. M. H. H. Agent of the South- Building and Loan of Knoxville, Tenn., and Mr. M. V. General Agent for the same Association, have been in town the past week meet- with our citizens and explain- to them the plans of the As- This association was chartered January capital stock is unlimited. Its stock is now over and it is doing business in more than Southern cities and towns. It is a league of Southern Associations and its advantages over a local association are two- fold. It cost less for running ex- and the money by non-borrowing towns is turned to the growing towns where there is an active demand for money. Every town is teed its own money and its pro part of the surplus arising from local investors, paid up stock, the money left in any of the branches. This is an institution that will do much to build up our Southern cities and Greenville had as well come in for her share of the fits.

A large two-story building the first floor occupied as a store by Mr. Charlie Cobb and the second floor used as a hall was burned. Mr. Cobb went in his store just supper to make some preparation for going to Tarboro visiting, that town being four or five miles from Mildred.

Charlotte Chronicle. A wonderful revolution in flour barrel making is promised by a patent which has granted for the making of barrels of cotton dock instead of wood. The new material is impervious to water and resists fire for a long time. It weighs to the barrel about pounds less than the wood, and can be manufactured ten percent, cheaper. The cotton duck barrels can be rolled up into small space and re- turned to the mills for frequent use. The barrels can returned as solid goods and thus save space.

Eiffel's Tower Surpassed. N. Y. Sun. W- L. Judson, the Inventor of a street railway system which bears bis name, has designed a tower for the World's Fair which, on paper, is so superior to the in- of M. Eiffel as to be an original conception. It is to be feet in diameter at the base and 1600 feet high. Two spiral inclines, one for vehicles and the other for a tramway, will wind the outside with an per cent, grade. A drive up the incline for vehicles of about 1200 feet; or once around the tower, will bring directly over the point of starting, feet higher. Tram cars will be operated and by almost any cable system the top could be reached in twenty minutes, as is designed, run- a half minute headway. In place therefore, of being shut op in a dark elevator shaft as is the Eiffel tower, those who mount the American improvement will ascend by slow and easy stages as if going up a mountain, the view around expanding until at the top, miles of land and water will be on a clear day. Tourists can leisurely ascend on foot, on the tram car or in a-private carriage. The cost of the proposed structure the chief material of as of the Eiffel tower, would be iron, is estimated at a sum which a revenue anything like a a day liquidate before the World's half over.
