Page as a writer ' f - constructive criticism; of Basil 1" GHdersleeve, of Johns Hopkins Uni versity; as the most eminent scholar of the South: of Chancellor Hilt, late of the University of Georgia, as one of the ablest and moot heroic of Southern ed ucators. ' His Quotations from Dr. Walter Page' ''Forgotten Man" aroused es , ecial interest, as throwing a hew light i upon Southern conditions. 3r. Mlms .expressed the hope that In the future some writer may arise who will depict th types of the new south, not so picturesque and romantic as the old Houtb. but well worthy of study and sympathetic presentation. - In its account of his lecture The Sun Ears: "Dr. Edwin Mlms, editor of the South .Atlantic Quarterly and professor of . Kngllsh literature at Trinity College, .North Csrolina, lectured yesterday ef , ternoon before the Woman's College on riouthsrn Types. Dr. Mlms scholary tresence and personal charm added srreatly to his power as a lecturer, and tha .alight drawl in his voice was most attractive. He spoke with earnestness ind occasional touches of humor, and lids beautiful English sometimes had a oetlc finish. - "Dr. Mlms began "by declaring that t?eopl roust be tired of hearing of the Southern problem and pledged himself not to speak of the negro problem, ad ding; -'nor of the, old South,; if I 'can , help ft' "' ' - . , ' :'t want " to "speak of meii not so creneraHy talked about or known,' he went on; of names not airways on the ' lips- of people. , ;Conttntalng, fcr, Mlms spoke of the !

Dr. Mlms then told "wlth-what seal he worksd, until to-day the an never sets on the factories tmilt by him and his sons. This men, although unable to speak the King's ttfngilsh, gave to the cause of sduca- 1 1on. Inspired his son to build a college library ani founded a conservatory of music, and now a monument to his memory Is to be placed on the cam- ,' pus of Trinity College. The man who thu succeeded was Washington ulroM': After lit lecture Dr. Mlms. was given . .reception bythe Southern Club of the-Woman's College, which embraces fit Its membership young ladies from , 'Vry part of the South. The rooms wer decorated with Confederate and Ktate flags and the college and frater nity .colors, and Prof. Mlms was harmed at the reception given him. He was entertained at a luncheon by Mr- and Mrs. Edwin Litchfield Turn ball, who were among the most Inti mate of Sidney Lanier's friends when VXanler was a resident of Baltimore.

Durham has been entirely isolated from the outside world to-day, with the exception of the occasional and irregular train - that came In with the papera and informa tion from other towns and other sec tion , Up to a late hour this afternoon not a wire had clicked Inside this city to-day; and the telephone people are simply torn to pieces. The last mes sage over long distance telephone was early In the morning. Then the poles pegan to snap and since then there has been no communication by wire with the outside world. The sight along the streets' Is some thing that has never been seen before by many of our people. The ground was warm and the Ice did not form there. But on the poles and Wires the sight waa beautiful and terrible, la some places the ice formed'' to a thick ness of three quarters of an Inch on the side of the poles. Wire looked like huge ropes and the street were filled with broken and loose wires. , TRACTION GO. OUT OF BUSINESS. On account ofHie sleet the Durham Traction Company is out of business. Not a cay has moved since early this morning. The town was In darkness early In the evening. With it all there Is great danger from fire. The streets are blocked with poles and wires and the Are alarm system Is torn to pieces. It will take several days to ascertain the damage, to say-nothing of repair ing the trouble. The telephone company has sus tained heavy losses. Huge poles were snapped in piece like straws. In some Instances the large poles were broken In- three and four places. The lead poles towards East Durham were de stroyed about 8:30 o'clock this morn ing and the lead towards West Dur ham began to go down an. hour later. A few poles, in exposed places, fell about day light In all parts of the city shade trees are broken and torn In a fearful manner. In some Instances sidewalk are blocked with broken limbs and In others yards are filled with limbs and broken trees and poles. People who have been out In the coun try report that the trees are broken as never before In this section. The sight Is reported as beautiful. It Is impos sible to get an estimate of the damage at this time. Some say that $10,000 will cover the loss and others that the loss will be a high as $20,0.0. When the damage to business and traffic Is con sidered there Is no way of even esti mating the loss. KIL.LED FOR 15 CENTS. Up to late this afternoon the police had not arrested John Rogers, who killed Gus Chavls last night. It Is thought that he Is being concealed by relatlbes and friends, as it would be im possible for him to lay out during such weather as this. Every effort Is being made by the police and other officers to arrest the negro. The facts brought out by the coro ner's Jury this morning would Indicate that It was a deliberate and cold blood ed murder. Chavls, the dead man, was a first cousin of John Rogers, who. did the shooting. Rogers had gone out of the pool room, leaving another ne gro n charge. Later, the second negro had to leave and he left Qua Chavls in charge. When Rogers came back he asked Chavls for the money he had taken In. Chavls said he had no money. Rogers then pulled his pistol' and fired. As a mater of fact, so It Is learned from the only two eye-witnesses to the tragedy, Chavls had taken In 15 cents. The slayer is described as being about five feet, eight Inches high; weight about 180 pounds: very black and with short, thin mustache. He drinks considerable and was drunk. It Is said, when the shooting occurred. MURRAY TO BB FREED. To-day the letter from Governor Olenn to Mr. R, B. Boone brought good news regarding W. R. Murray, who has been serving sentence for man slaughter. The Governor's proposition was that he would release the prisoner upon the fact being certified to him that Murray had paid to the clerk of court a fine of $700 and all costs. There was a xecond proposition to the effect that, if this was not done, he would Change the sentence to 19 months on the roads of the county. The new that this letter had reached Durham spread rapidly and, In a ahort while, many of Murray's friends were racing to the lawyer's of fice. Then tin-re was a rush of people towards the court house and many asked to be admitted to the jail, this being denied to all but a few. The fine and coats amounted to more than $1,000 but this whs raised In a Short while, the friends of the prisoner paying the fine and coxt and presenting this to the n token of their abiding faith and love for him, MURRAY WKEPH OVER GENEROS ITY OF FRIENDS. I The observer's correspondent hur ried to .the Jail. Murray wept like a child when talking of the matter. He first said that his friends could not pay the amount, as he waa not worthy. He changed hla mind when they told til ni that It was al ready paid and his check would not be taken In payment to them. He i broke down and cried and said that he ' hnd been down on his knees that morning and that he had decided suveral thing. One was that be would live a better life and a life devoted to his friends, and another that he would not leave North Carolina, as be had once thought he would do, but would remain here and show the people how he could live.
