C, under the act of Congress of March 1. 1879. Subscription Rates ; One year fi.oo tlx months .50 cents three months .35 cents Rates for advertising made known on application. DURHAM, N. C, April 30, .1907. If political fortunes are so chang at e this far inadvance of the election, what will happen between now and the time when some man must be chosen. Few people are anxious for a job that does not pay well, but it is noticeable that the city has no trouble in securing men that want to serve as aldermen, and the pay is comparatively small. So far as any outward effort is concerned the city election was over when the primaries ; had nominated their candidates and the mass meeting had put anoth er set of candidates in the field. The President of the United States is a hartt man to located Just eg you are ready to censure jura for something he has done that does not meet your approval be comes to the f ront with some ihing that just suits your ideas to a "t" and while one crowd is criticising him he is doing some thing that wins applause from the other'crowd. 'Mi would be interesting to be in a Republican convention and hear President Roosevelt get up and nominate W. J. Bryan for president, or for the latter to nominate the former in a Demo cratic convention. Of course no one expects to see this and such talk is idle, and we are surprised at some papers that have been suggesting such things. The question of issuing bonds for road building is coming in for algreat deal of discussion and grows more interesting as the time to vote draws near. Each fellow has his way of stating just why you should vote for or against these bonds. The Re corder takes the same position that we took in the beginning That each voter should inform himself of the advantages or dis advantages and vote accordingly. Kr. Simmons' Announcement Senator Simmons' announced intention to resign' as chairman of the State Democratic execu tive committee indicates the ap proaching close of a period of distinguished service m this po sition to his party and to his State. His, great achievement has been, of course, the masterly oriranization and successful con duct of the memorable campaign of 1889, when the Republican Populist combination was routed and the Stat3 restored to good government. The scarcely less important campaign of 1900, whereby the negro vote upon which the brief fusion suprem acy had largely rested wa3 elimi nated as a political factor through the ratification of a constitutional amendment submitted to the peo ple by the previous Legislature, was also of his managing. One of the strongest evidences of the ability which he has shown dur inz the period of his party lead erehip Is found in Jthe fact that there is today no opposition party in the State worth reckoning with. Of course, his retirement as chairman does not mean th.t he will not continue to exercise that influence upon party affairs which his .well-proved trust worthiness as a leader must cause to be accorded him.

What percentage of people, even of those who feel an interest in wild animal life, really know that the largest flesh eating animals in the world are found in America? People generally believe, and have believed for ages, that the African lion is the king of beasts. But he is not nearly as large or as powerful an animal as the large brown bear of subartic - America, The bears are not as ferocious or" combative as the lions, nor are they nearly as vicious as they are given credit for being. But the largest of them are much larger and more . powerful than any of the lions. It is safe to say that theN largest of the brown bears of the north would wPiVh three times a3 much as the largest 3ecimen of lion and is beyond 1 question ereatlv suierior in strength: Comparing these two powerful animals in action if broueht toceth. er in combat, the bear would at first appear verv clumsv. It wouW not be capable of the quick rush or the catlike spring of the lion. It Would not attack, but would reminn entirely on the defensive, meeting - i ..... p us adversary witn blows of such acidity and terrible force as at once to illustrate its superiority not only in strength, but in action. I do not believe that there is an ani. mal in the world that can act more quickly or effectively or can aim it blows with creater certaintv than the bear. " , - The lartre brown bears of tha Alaska peninsula, south of Berinc sea, are among the largest bears of me wona, ana it is evident that there is no part of the world ont. side of America in which such large flesh eating animals are found. The bears are flesh eaters, or farnirn- rous, yet there are none of them mat depend upon flesh for food, and with. Qogtof thejn flesh com priies but a very small" percentage The larse brown rienrs tit ih north and those of the Alaska pen insula usually travel to th CPU when first leaving hibernation. Anarew j.

Concerning the prize, 'Tortrait of a Doctor," by Seymour Thomas, there is a very amusing story. beveral artists had made paint ings of the gentleman who is rep resented in this celebrated picture, but the family decided that none of them was "lifelike enough." After visiting the Thomas studio the gen tleman's relatives commissioned this artist to essay the task., The work went on well, and the picture was completed. Every one was delighted. All declared friends, family and enemies that it was a "living likeness." One day, before the picture had been sent home, the wife of the doc tor called with her sister-in-kw. This woman had been suffering from nervous prostration and had come to spend several months with her brother for a rest. Instantly on entering the studio the threw up her hands and ex claimed in a hysterical, horrified tone: "Oh, my dear, my dear! IIow much like Ilobert that is! Oh, it is horrible! I couldn't stand it in the house a moment. Why, it looks just exactly like him, and I'd almost think him about to speak. Don t take itit's uncanny r Abashed into silence, embarrass ed beyond description, (he wife and suter-in-law later left the studio. "And what do you think," said Mr. Thomas, with a gentle smils. "A few day later I had a note from tha wife asking me if I could not 'make the picture a little lew like the doctor a little less lifelike?' Did I do it? Well, I jtocm not! That was one of my best pieces of work, and I know that in trying to please everybody you are apt to be m the same predicament as the man with the donkey in the end you'll loe the donkey and will have pleas ed nobody. Give me changeable sitter, but deliver me from tha family." Scrap Book. The Judge Understood. The late Judge Pettengill of the Maiden district court concealed un der an apparently stem exterior a kind heart, and nothing touched him so quickly as as unintentional witticism, epecially if it were at the expense of the court One day a prisoner arraigned bo fore him for drunkenness, and still under the influence of liquor, plead ed as hard as he could to be placed on probation. "Why should I place yoa on pro bation?" aid the judge sternly. " hv, you re drunk now. "No, I'm not, your honor," said the poor prisoner earnestly; Tin as sober a a judge." lie was placed on probation Why Do Country Boys Flock to Big Cities?

Pierce's Family Medicine for all the ingredients entering into them are printed on the bottle wrappers and their formula are attested under oath as beirfg complete and correct. You know just what you are paying for and that the in gredients are gathered from Nature's laboratory, being selected from the most valuable native, medicinal roots found growing in our Ameri can forests. While potent to cure they are perfectly harmless even to the most delicate women and children. Not a drop of alcohol enters into their composition. , A much better agent is used both for extracting and preserving the medicinal principles used in them, viz. pure " triple-refined glycerine of proper strength. This agent possesses intrinsic medicinal properties of its own, being a most valuable anti-septic and anti-ferment, nutritive and soothing demulcent. Glycerine plays an important part in Dr. Pierce's Golden Med ical Discovery in the cure of indigestion, dyspepsia and weak stomach, attended by sour risings, "heartburn," foul breath, coated tongue, poor appetite, gnawing feeling in stomach, biliousness and kindred derange ments of the stomach, liver and bowels. Besides curing all the above distressing ailments, the "Golden Med ical Discovery "is a specific for all diseases of the mucous membranes, as catarrh, whether of the nasal passages or of the stomach, bowels or pelvic organs. Even in its ulcerative stages it will yield to this sover eign remedy if its use be persevered in. In Chronic Catarrh of the Nasal passages, it is well, while taking the "Golden Medical Discovery for the necessary constitutional treatment, to cleanse the passages freely two or three times a day with Dr. Sages Catarrh Remedy. This thorough course of treatment generally cures even in the worst cases. In coughs and hoarseness caused by bronchial, throat and lung affections, except consumption in its advanced stages, the "Golden Medical Discovery " is a most efficient remedy, especially in those obsti nate, hang-on-coughs caused by irritaticm and congestion of the bron chial mucous membranes. The Discovery n is liot so good for acute coughs arising from sudden colds, nor must it be expected to cure con sumption in its advanced stages no medicine will do that -hit for ail the obstinate hang-on, or chronic coughs, which, if neglected, or badly treated, lead up to consumption, iNls the best medicine that can be taken. If the sweet taste of the "Discovery,," caused by tlc glycerine, is disliked, a few drops of lemon juice, orange or lime juice, added to each dose will make it agreeable and pleasant and will not in the slightest interfere with its bcncfical effects. ' It's an Insult to your Intelligence for a dealer to endeavor to palm of! upon you some nostrum of unknown composition in place of Dr. Pierce's world-famed medicines which are or known cohpositiox. Most dealers recommend Dr. Pierce's medicines because they know what they are made of and that the ingredients employed are among" the most valuable that a medicine for like purposes can be made of. The same is true of leading physicians who do not hesitate to recom mend them, since they know exactly what they contain and that their Ingredients, are the very best known to medical science for the cure of the several diseases for which these medicines are recommended. With tricky dealers It Is different 1 Something else that pays them a little greater profit will be urged upon you as "just as good," or even better. You can hardly afford to accept a substitute of unknown tompotition and without any particular record of cures in place of Dr. picrce'i medicines which are ok known composition and have a record of forty yeart of turn behind them. You know what you want and it is tbodcalcr's business to suj-ply that want. Intitt upon it. Notice of Administration ; Having this day qualified as adminis trator of the estate of W. B.
