DURHAM, N. C, Feb. 8, 1907.
We delayed going to press a
little this week in order to give
the details of the hanging that
took place at the county jail.
It is not necessary to ask if
the past few fdays have suited
you for good old-fashioned win
ter, such as grandfather used to
tell about, for we are sure you
are satisfied.
If the legislature don't act
upon any questions that can be
found, it will not be becausejsome
fellow didn't introduce a bill
about it. To look over some of
the little affairs that come up
for Tconsideration, one would
think that a crowd of school
children were out of a job.
That the plans for the erection
of a Y. M. C. A. building for
Durham are receiving encourage
ment and support from our citi
zens is and should be a source of
gratification to all, and especially
young men and men of families.
It is an institution that promises
a great deal on the investment,
and one that be aided by every
one that can possibly do so.
f Of course there are few peo
ple that do not want good roads.
The only question that bobs up
Affhen any great strides are to be
made in the way of road building
is the fact that they cost money,
not just a little money, but a
great deal, and there the project
loses its impetus. In fact many
great industries are hindered for
the lack of money, but another
thing about road building is the
way the work is carried. So far
in the road building of this coun
ty we have been free from any
unwise expenditures so far as we
know, but in the minds of many
there is a question as the wheth
er if the bonds for $300,000 are
voted the money will be a9 well
spent as has been the case with
pur road funds.
IS THAT THE EEASOX?
We have often wondered at
the acts of the legislature, espe
cially when we considered the
men that were members of that
body. There is some reason for
m my curious things that crop
out during the sitting of that
body, suchXa3 special laws for
some man that wants a divorce,
or some man that does not want
his neighbors chickensjin his field
or gets mad with his neighbor
and wants to get him for hunting!
on his land, and many other spec-
ial laws that have found their
way on the books, but it remains
for Joe King to size the matter
up in the following:
' 'The only way out of it is to pay
more attention to the kind of
men we send to the legislature.
It b a job that nobody wants and
it is usually the case that it is
left with the politicians to decide
on a man who may be persuaded
to take it, and nine times out of
ten this man also happens to be a
Eoliticjan.andbeinga politician,
e plys his trade."

I Sad bun.
- wiss Nanrtfe iBowling, 'daugh
ter of S. Bowling of -Durham,
passed quietly away January 30,
1907. She suffered a year or
more with lung trouble, but with
all her afflictions she was . very
cheerful. She was attended by
the best physicians. All that
medical skill and tender care of
father and mother could do was
done, but to no avail. She was
called home to glory in the bloom
of womanhood.
Nannie and I were school
mates. She was blessed with a
genial, lovable disposition, and
gave every promise of a noble,
useful womanhood. She was
reared in a home of cul
ture and refinement She leaves
a devoted father, mother, three
sisters, three brothers and a
large number of relatives and
friends to mourn her sad death.
" Tis hard to break the tender cord,
When love has burned the heart;
'Tis hard, so hard, to speak the words,
'We must forever part.' "
Dearest loved one, we must lay thee
In the peaceful grave's embrace.
But thy memory will be cherished
Till we see thy heavenly face.

Wfa sincerely hope the legislature
will'compea the railroads to deal, fair:
ly and justly with the people, but
we hope In their eagerness to correct
the evils of these corporations, they
will not themselves be gittlty of In
justice. Our regulators nhould not
forget that the railroads are not our
enemies, but our friends. However,
like other kinds of friend they oc
casionally try to overreach us and
they succeed. Charity and ' Children.
