DURHAM, N. C, May 17, 1907.
This is good season of the year

Judge Justice seems willing to
help the work along.

and yet they left some out in the

Revenue officers seem to be
getting in their work early in
the spring. If they do not mind
they will make the business of
conducting stills so unprofitable
that few people will care to run
them.
It appears that the way mat
ters are going that Durham is
not to remain long without a
murder case on her superior
court dockets, there being two
negroes in jail now charged with
this crime.
Superior Court Gets Down to Business
and Dispatcbes Much
Work.
Durham Superior court for the
trial of criminal cases has been
in session this week, and from
the following list of cases called
and disposed 01 it will be seen

been on the docket were cleaned

It has always been a question
in our minds whether rotation in
office is a, good thing, but when
there are so many men that have
been sticking to the Democratic
Dartv all their days hoping to
land something are continually
turned down to keep the present
state officers in, there is going
to be a howl, and quite a crowd
will be with the howlers.
It 'sounds rather strange to
hear the idea advanced that cer
tain city officers should be turn
ed down because they had held a
position so long and lived off of
the town long enough and then
hear the same fellow say that of
course certain other city employes
should have kept their positions
because they had been in the
place so long and knew all about
the work. We will believe that
they are really sincere in turning
a man down because he has been
in a position so long when a clean
sweep is made and all are turned
out that have been in a long time.

The recent figures published in
this paper relative to tax values
in other towns than Durham pay
ing less tax thanwe, should bewell
considered by tax assessors this
year. It is true that few people
in Durham believe that their
property is assessed too high, but
when we consider that Durham
is paying much more intu the
state treasury than any other
town in the state, before the
va'.uej are increased there should
be some inquiry made to ascer
tain at what rate valuations are
to be made in general. Durham 13

Of course it is no uncommon
thinzfor a newspaper man to
hear of such letters as the follow

THE ROGUE'S
MARCH

Amateur Cracksman, "Stlnrfaree,
A Bride from the Bush, etc.
ILLUS TRA TED D Y PARKER
Whether a woman's love will finally triumph over the
evil forces pitted against it in this marvelous story of
cruel injustice and terrible suffering is a question the
reader can never answer until the end is reached.
But the end comes all too soon, for "The Rogue's
March" moves more swiftly than the hottest impatience.
Swept along in the resistless current of the story, you
read with increasing suspense and wonder until yon put
the last chapter down with a sigh for more.
