The DURHAM RECORDER. Semi-Weekly. G EVERY TUESDAY AND FRIDAY. DO; By ZEB. P. COUNCIL. ESTABLISHED 1820. Entered as second class matter August 8, 1903, at the postofflce at Durham, N. C under the act of Congress of March , 1879. Subscription Rates : One year fl.oo Sit months 50 cents rhree months 35 cents Rates for advertising made known on application. DURHAM, N. C. Sept. 3, 1907. It is to be hoped that politics will have a rest until the begin ning of a new year at any rate, i but some candidates are so anx ious that they are afraid to let an opportunity pass. It is now up to the road super visor to get full benefit of the new recruits given him by Judge Council and the people living out along where new roads are being constructed may reap the bene fit of another's evil doings. The one week's term of Dur ham Superior court has adjourn ed and the road force was great ly increased, and it might be re- narked in passing that some were guilty managed to get out with a small nne and will go their way and sin some more. The city aldermen are now working on a new law regulating automobiles in the city limits, and it is to be hoped that such a law will be passed that will be practical, and m consequence will be enforced. Otherwise the matter had as well remain as it When the city aldermen have successfully regulated automo biles, the county commissioners should proceed along the same lines, for while it is not as dan gerous in the thinly populated sections, the road belongs to the public in general and should not be used as a speedway. If you can't say a word about the rates charged for transpor tationonthe railroads favorable to the "rights of the people" you had better remain on the! backseat; that is, if you care for a front seat in the great show that is being produced about this questier. Most of them will be good now for some time, but before an other terra of court there will be another list of cases for the Su perior court. However, the court officiate and lawyers must have a job and those that sell whiskey contrary to the statutes had as well furnish the material as any others. About the only people that get some-thing out of the railway rate agitation are those that hope to keep it up long enough to make the people think they are champions of their rights; when as a matter of fact the average man does not care so much about the price as he does the accommodation he gets when he gets on the train to make a trip to a certain point The figures given in another column, of the population of sev eral towns in the State, show what a directory man thinks of the population. It may be that these directory men get an accu rate census, but when you read in some of them that some firms are doing business that have long since been a thing of the past, oae is disposed to think that they are liable to be wrong in this. The automobile accident last week may serve to make things quiet in such circles for a short while, but ere long it will be for gotten, and the old schedule will be in effect. To our mind there are two thirgs in Durham badly needed, and this is said without reference to the case just ment ioned: Automobiles to run at a slower rate and children espe cially small children to keep off the streets. It is well that we have "many men of many minds" or some things would never receive the consideration they are entitled to: Occasionally some man comes forward that such and such a thing is a menace to so ciety, while another is harping on some other question as the supreme matter before the pub lic, and we often wonder if the world could well get along if all the fellows that have nothing to do but howl about something should certainly be removed to their reward. SHORT LOCAL ITEMS The six weeks old child of John Browning died at the home of its father Thursday afternoon. The burial took place this after noon. The front of the Herndon building, next door to Yearby's drug store, on Main street, is be ing painted. Other improve ments will also be made. Percy T. Elliott, who has held a position with the Durham Traction Company for some time, has launched out into business for himself, and.will do general contract work in the electrical construction line. Miss Bessie May, of this city, was united in marriage to J. W. Nowell, of Franklin county, last Wednesday morning at the home of the brides parents, Vickers avenue. After the ceremony the bride and groom left via the Sea board Air Line for their future home. The infant child of Dr. and Mrs. C. A. Adams died at the home of its parents on Liberty street Thursday night at mid night. The funeral and burial took place today at 5 o'clock, the funeral being conducted by Rev. C. J." Thompson, pastor of the First Baptist church. D. A. Latta died at his home on Markham street Thursday afternoon. He was about 50 years of age and leaves a wife and five children, two daughters and three sons. The funeral service was conducted from the home this afternoon, after which the interment took place in Maple- wood cemetery. John 1 nomas, the negro preacher that was sentenced to fifteen years in the penitentiary at the last term of court, was carried to Raleigh by Sheriff Harward last Thursday. It will be remembered that Thomas con fessed to attempted criminal as sault and was sentenced as above, and now begins his term of years at hard labor. Work has begun on the new Y. M. C. A. building. The cost of the building, as proposed, will cost $32,000, the building front ing on Main street 72 feet and extending 102 feet on Roxboro street, and will be a three story building with a basement, and . will be otherwise complete in every detail for the purpose it is being constructed. Before spanking their sons mothers would do well to see what the offender has in his pockets. The fatal dynamite cap case reported from Michigan in yesterday's Associated Press dis patches is likely to prove some what of a warning in this direct ion. Charlotte Observer. Egyptian Obelisks. T1m obelisk in Central park, brought to this country In was set up at the entrance f the temple of the Huu at HelloMK Egypt, about 111 B. C, by Thotme III. Twenty-three years before Christ the Emperor Augustus moved the oUdbik, togHhVr with Its companion, now on the tanks of the Thames, London, to Alexandria, from which place it was brought to New York at the time designated ain. Of Egyptian olsdlska some forty-two are known, though tuany of th are broken of otherwise practically de- tfoyei.Xew York Aioerk-an. Ths Ruling Passion. A celebrat?d musical critic was mar led In church some years ago, aud after the , cerenijuy, as the wedding procession marched down the ulsle, the organist played the wedding march from "Lohengrin." When near the door, the bridegroom stopped in the march and addressed the wondering assembly thus: r; I know I am committing a breach of etiquette as well as propriety lu doing this, liut I am not to blame. It Is my mental organization which has become Ineffably sensitive by reason of the critical uature of my duties." Then he drew from the pocket of his dress coat a well thumbed copy of the score of "Lohengrin." Opening It at the march, he went over to Hie organist and said: "What offended my ear was the fact that In the seventeenth bar of the da capo pass-age you. flatted very badly, and in the andante movement you slurred the uppoggiatura. Now," put ting his finger upon the passage, "let us try that again.". Once more the organ pealed forth, and this time the player, eonscious that the great critic was listening to him, accomplished his duty with credit to himself aud to the great satisfac tion of the critic London Standard. The Sick Chinaman. Perhaps nowhere In the world Is family affection stronger than among the Chinese, yet their method of deal ing with the sick is pitiable to the more enlightened world. When a fa vorite son fails ill his life depends largely upon a package of joss sticks. The grieving father seeks a Joss bouse, procures a handful of these sticks and. taking them home, lights them. He shakes them gently. Soon one falls. Is it lighted? Eagerly the father watches it Will It burn to the end or go out? If it is entirely consumed the son will survive; if it goes out he will die. It goes out! The Chinaman reasons thus: Ills son was chased by a devil and when the devil touched him he became ill. The devU demonstrated by means of the joss sticks that his bob must die. Had the joss sticks burned to the end it would have signified the future recov ery of the patient Joss men would have been called In, a most fearful din would have followed, and the dev il and all his lower Imps would have been driven away. New York Herald. A Lifs Sentence. Said Mr. Joocker, who was reading the paper, "Another poor wretch has been given a life sentence at hard labor." Said Mrs. Joacker, who was embroid ering blue roses: "Probably he de serves it What is be guilty of V "Fraud and no visible means of sup port He obtained clothes and a fine turnout with no money and nothing collectible. He seems to be larger and stronger than most of that class, yet it is plain that be has never done a tap of work, though be has managed to live well so far. But the poor fel low takes bis sentence bard and cries plteously, protesting his Innocence." "The wretch! He must have dealt with perfect fools." "No; his victim Is our own friend. Jack Smith." "That clever lawyer! Ih read to me an about it!" "Born to Mr. and Mr. John Smith. t twelve pound boy." Bohemian. "Shouting." Early Australian gold digger made many contributions to the slsng of that commonwealth. One of these was "shouting." or standing drinks for everybody within hall, a practice of which the lucky digger was very fond. To refuse to drink with a digger who had "struck It rich." or turned op a big nugget was a deadly Insult A critic nuotos from J. F. Hogsn's "His tory of the Irish In Australia:" "Shout lag was at one time almost universal To shout In a public h use means to Insist on everyliody present friends and stranger alike, drinking at the shouter"9 esjufcae.
