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.

Durham Hun tells of a horrible

Then they want to gain about the

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

change is a good one for the Northern
portion of the is beyond
Goose is of no more ad van
to Greenville under the existing
schedule than was the mixed train.
We had hoped that when the

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.
