DURHAM, N. C.Feb. 12, 1907.
After Durham county had
witnessed one legal Ihanging, it
was not long before another took
place.
Wonder if the present legis
lature will allow the railroads to
make enough profits to pay dam
age suits. If they fail to do this
they will find a kick coming from
quite a number of people.
SHORT LOCAL ITEllS.
Durham county can say no
longer that she has never had a
hinging. John H. Hodges and
Freeman Jones have paid for
their crimes the dearest price
they had. There were some that
thought possibly the negro should
have been sent to prison for life,
and that there was some excuse
i)T the crime which Hodges com
mitted. After looking at the
matter when they have both been
executed, there seems no room
for the delay of justice in either
cise. Hodges admitted killing
his wife, that he went there with
Jhat intention, nor have we seen
any statement where he express
ed regret for his action. Free
man Jones confessed that he
would have committed Ja worse
rime than the one for which he
was hanged, if he had not been
icared away. Both men say that
liquor was the cause of their
crime, which may be true, but
we are of the'opinion that liquor
only gave them the nerve to do
what they did, especially as Hod
ges stated that he drank whiskey
after he reached the house on
the night he committed the mur
der. We have little patience
with the idea that men commit
ail sorts of deviltry because they
are drunk, but believe that
whiskey only helps the low prin
cipal that is in a man to come to
the surface.

Mr. A. W. Horton and' Mr. E.
Hobgood, of Durham, mem
bers of the Junior and Sophomore
classes and of the Hespf rian and
Columbian societies, will repie-
sent Trinity in her first annual
debate with the University of
ennessee. This debate will be
in Knoxville, Tenn., and will he
leld on the evening of April 5,
which is Good Friday. Mr. A.
Wissburg, of the Junior class,
is alternate.
The preliminary whereby these
men were' selected was held last
Saturday evening in the Y. M.
C. A. hall from 7:30 till 9:30.
he meeting was presided over by
rof. A. C. Mcintosh, and the
committee of judges consisted of
Prof. W. H. Pegram, Dr. W. II.
Glasson, ?nd Dr. v. k. Boyd.
Six men took part in the contest
and each was allowed fifteen
minutes on his first speech and
five on the rejoinder.
Though like all other occasions
of the kind in most respects the
debate was remarkable in one
eature, viz., the speakers were
ery nearly matched with each
other. The speeches they made
were all uniformly good, and the
selection of the best two was by
no means an easy task for the
committee of judges. One feature
that the debate was lacking
was that the audience was not
quite as large as it was on the
ast occasion of this kind, but all
those that did attend were well
Daid and enioved the occasion
very much.
The following query, which
Trinity will have the affirmative
side of when she meets the Uni
versity of Tennessee, was used in
he preliminary:
'Resolved. That the will of
the people operates more effect
ively upon the administration of
government under the English
Cabinet Svstem than under the
Presidential Svstem of America."
On the affirmative appeared
Messrs. C. E. Phillips, E B. Hob-
good, A. L. Wissburg, and F. S.
Love. On the negative were
Messrs. A. V. Horton and W. G
Terome. One sDeaker and the
alternate, it will be seen, were on
the same side, and on the side
which Trinity will defend in the
final battle.
Mr. Horton was the successfu
contestant in the Sophomore de
bate last spring. This will be the
first appearance tor both young
men in an intercollegiate debate,
Two of the speakers who were
in the race at the beginning with
drew before the prtliminaiy. Mr.
II. K. S pence, who w is the alter
nate of the Yanderbilt debate anc
was looked upon as likely to be
one of the representatives against
Tennessee, resigned from the con
test on assuming the pastorate of j
Kpworth Church at Raleigh, and
Mr. A.J. Tempkton also deemed
it bet not to speak Saturday
evenincr. The six men spoke with
enthusiasm and ro.-c a number of
times to much warmth and elo-
juencc, with the result that the
audience was greatly divided in
its opinion of the two men who
made the best appearance. The

The legislature meets only once
in two years, while the board of
aldermen meet twice a month,
and county commissioners meet
every month, and just why the
egislature should have to attend
0 small city and county affairs,
we see no reason.
Flowers and Weed.
The prettv teacher was trying to
explain, the difference between good
conduct and bad. "Good actions,"
she explained, "are the lovely flow
ers'. Bad ones are the weeds. Xow
can any little boy or girl tell nie
the difference between flowers and
weeds ? What are flowers ? What
are weeds ?"
"Weeds," said Walter, who had
been struggling with the sorrel in
lis mother's garden, "are the plants
hat want to grow, ami flowers ar
the ones that don't."
