Summer, 0f thl city, to day went to Mockjvllls and from there to the country five miles from that place, where they attended the funeral of Mr. John Summer, the father of the Salisbury gentleman. The elder Summer died yesterday at his home after an Illness due largely to old age. He was more than 80 years of age and wag . a greatly re epected citizen of Davie. In addition to the bill which the Salisbury lawyera have sent to the Legislature for extra term of court here, there Is a provision of It that the county commissioner may ex amine the court docket and And If Its shape IS such aa to warrant only one list of jurors. By the plan there would be no extra lot of Jurors who will double the cost of tho courts. By the work of Rowan's Representa tives the rav of the juries In this county will be Increased from 11.60 to $2. The plan to hold ten courts here, aa against four now, meet general favor. Representative Walter Murphy is preparing a bill for a legalized pri mary, following the boh est of the country portion, especially, of the Rowan Den ocracy. There was a lively fight In last year's county con vention over this proposition and Representative John M. Julian, who was not present, came in and pledged himself for the measure before he knew there had been any discussion of It. It Is designed for local con ditions especially and will meet popu lar approval. The bill will bo pre sented next wek. DURHAM TO START CAMPAIGN.
