The DURHAM RECORDER. CSST Semi-Weekly. EVERY TUESDAY AND FRIDAY. 100 By ZEB. P. COUNCIL. ESTABLISHED 1820. Entered as second class matter August 8. 1903. at the poetoffice at Durham, N. C., under the act of Congress of March I.1879. Subscription Rates : One year $1.00 Bix months 50 cents Three months 5 cents Rates for advertising made known on application. DURHAM. N. C. Oct. 8, 1907. Superior Court has adjourned and many cases that were to be tried this week will have to go over until another season. If those oppose to Mr. Bryan stay away from the places where he is booked to speak in North Carolina, wonder if the crowds that hear him will be as large as usual? The Southern railway has had its share of wrecks, but the first time we remember such a thing was when train No. 13 was wrecked last Sunday. They had no business running such a num ber any way. With an increase in the wealth of the county of over three mil lion dollars in one year, the in creased cost of running the af fairs of the county should easily be met without an increase in the tax rate. In the death of Dr. A. H. Mo ment, of Raleigh the Presbyter ian church loses an able man, and it was fitting that Raleigh should honor him as was the case there Sunday afternoon. The State mourns the loss. We often wonder if the police just happen to get busy Saturday and Sunday and run in crap shooters, or if the crap shooters have to wait until Saturday to get the money with which to en- gage in the sport The verdict in the Rowland case in Raleigh last Sunday was no more than had been expected for two or three days, and from the way the citizens friendly to . .mm. . them acted, it was the proper thing for the jury to have done, Dispatches say thatPresiden Roosevelt did not attend church services last Sunday because there was no church in reach Of course that may be a good reason, but many of us have rea sons not as good and yet just as satisfactory. There are all sort3 of peopl in the world that can do thing3 but should you be stumped on hm to do certain things just go to most any town and find one of the honorable board of alder men and he will fix up matters for you. It may be a good way to get a chance to address the people, and it may be the proper thing to do, but most people would like to look at the roan that waots to be president of the United States as being bigger than the chief attraction at State and county fairs. The president's bear story will take the day now, but you just wait until the fellows around here can get out and shoot birds and hear what nice shots they make and how many they can kill on the wing at one shot, then his story will fall into insignifi cance. In most cases that go to court where the plaintiff is suing an insurance company for the amount the policy calls for, the insurance Scompany loses, and just why they should epend so much money to keep from pay ings claim we cannot under stand, especially when they get so much free undesirable advertising. A $3,000,000 INCREASE. axable Property Id Durham Amounts to $21,140,542. Amount cl Taxes Over $180,000. The tax books for the county . k nave Deen turned - over to the county commissioners for in spection, who will turn them over to the Sheriff for collection. The following figures will be of interest to our readers: OVER $21,000,000. The wealth of the county is shown to be more than $21,000,000. In exact figures the wealth is shown at $21.- 140,542. This is an increase of over three million dollars over the wealth shown at the last tax listing time. This wealth is divided as follows: Read and personal property, $17,772, 874.

This makes a total of $21,140,542 as the wea.th of the county. REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY. The books show that of the real and personal property that the whites own something over $17,000,000 and that the co ored people someihlng more than half a million dollars in the county. The fo lowing figures give the real and personal property valua tion of th whites and the colored, taken by townships: Durham township: Whites $15, 9C1.145. Colored $4C5.775. Mangum township: Whites $392.- 24;. Co"ored $27,300. Patterson township: Whites $294, 31C. Colored $44,674. Oak Grove township: Whites 251.612. Colored $13,041. Lebanon township: Whites $180 137.

The collections by the sheriff this year will be larger than ever before. this by some $30,000 to $40,000. In round figures Sheriff John F. for ward will have to collect $180,000 in taxes. This is divided as fol'ows On incomes, $2,649.90. For state pur poses, $37,239.94. Pensions. $7,092.90. Poll, $11,379.30. Schools, $37,985.21. County, $23,212.89. County roads $40,091.27. Railroads. $21,102.08. The rate on the property is 83 cents on each $100 va'uatlon and the poK tax is $2.49. The figures as given above are not exactly correct as to the di vision of the taxes, sine? the poll tax Is divided into some four or five parts But as a w hole the figures are correct The books will be submittel to the county oommiBsioners tomorrow and will then be passed on by the commit tee and turned over to Sheriff Har ward for oi:ecion. Sergeant Aldridge and Officer Beavers made a raid on a game of crap last Saturday night after midnight. Lonnie Diddle and Dock Green were arrested. Be sure to read what C. E. King & Sons have to say about ?eds and drugs in this issue on the fourth page. Waller Holladay received a message from Kapidan, Va., Monday stating that his brother, who had been making his home in New York, was dead. Mr. Holladay left on the first train so that he could be present at the funeral. The county commissioners met in regular session Monday. No matters of special importance to the public claimed their attention at the session held Monday. The question of road building was carriedjover until today, and this, with many other matters of in terest will claim their attention during this meeting. It maybe that investigations of the way the Southern railway is doing business, the reduction in passenger rates, and all the other agitation about railroads has nothing to do with it, but if all corporations or other con cerns had to undergo such an ex amination of their methods of running the business, they would naturally suspend operations as far as possible until the outcome of the results had been ascertained. THE ROWLANDS ACQUITTED. erdlct Cheered. Prisoners and Lawyers Weep lor Joy. The jury in the Superior Court was given the Rowland case at midnight precisely, after ten hours of argument and charge. The State attacked the veracity of the last witnesses for the de- ense and it championed the Brotherhood of Locomotive En gineers, which had so stoutly and steadily aided in pressing a prosecution which it had initiated. The defense charged the State with suppressing facts, and it attacked the Brotherhood. It was known that there would be no verdict until to-day if then. Many persons predicted acquit tal; others said the jury would be "hung." A very few said guilty as to Rowland himself, while some said there would be a Scotch verdict "not proven." At 9:20 a. m. the jury sent word to Judge Long it was ready with its verdict. He went to the court room at once. The solici tor was sent for. It was twen ty minutes before he arrived. Elmer bhaner, one oi tne prose cuting attorneys, was also pres ent for that side. All the attor neys for the defense, Watson, Harris, Holding, Ryan and Hicks, were on band. Dr. and Mrs Rowland were brought in, with them being Rowland's uncle, the Gills, and Miss Rowland's sister. The silence was simply intense when the foreman of the jury, Harper, announced the verdict, which was "not guilty." As he spoke the words there was a rat tle of applause and cheers from many of the crowd which jammed the court room. Judge Long struck the desk sharply and de clared such behavior an outrage; saying the conrt room was not theatre and that if he knew the men who made the demonstra tion he would fine each $100. WEEP FOR JOY. He then left the bench and a strange scene began. Dr. and Mrs. Rowland and attorneys Hicks and Harris cried. Mrs. Rowland and her sister hugged each other fully a min ute, while they screamed for joy. Their lawyers shook hands with the late prisoners, and then large number of people followed this lead. Next the Rowlands took a carriage and went to their boarding house on Polk street. Quickly they went from there to Rowland's office on Fayetteville street, directly opposite the post- office and over the Western Union Telegraph office. They then held a public reception. Some of their very enthusiastic friends drove up with a wagon load of flowers which were pre sented to them. k . . At l o ciocK they and the un cles Gill left for the home of the latter, near Henderson. The Raleigh public, like other publics, is fickle. But a few days ago the Rowlands appeared wel nigh friendless. To-day they were like locusts for numbers, it appeared. SPECIAL KATES TO RALEIGH. taunt Stale Fair, October I4tti9t!) 1937 Via Seaboard.

There are two classes of plant which are incited by ruan'a presence to describe certain definite move ments. One class, the sensitive plants, retract their leaflets as we approach them, as if they resented any attempt at closer intimacy, while the other class, comprising all those vines which develop climbing organs called tendrils, will reach out toward us if we place our hands in contact with them and will even use a finger as a support to climb upon. We know that these tendrils will wind jutt as readily about a twig or a grass stem, but as one feels these sensitive strands multi ply their encircling coils about one's fingers there almost seem to be es tablished between us and the vege table world a more intimate rela tionship than has ever existed be fore. Tendrils are indeed capable of exhibiting faculties and going through evolutions more won derful ferhaps than many of us realise, t is onlv after we have seen them at work, testing with their sensitive tips the objects they come in con tact with, apparently considering their suitability as a support and then accepting or rejecting them, o3 the case may be it is only then that we realize how justly they have been called the "brains of plant life." The thoroughness with' which these wandering tips explore their surroundings is illustrated by an in ttance I observed in a grapevine tendril. A cherry branch whose leaves had been variously punctured and scalloped by insect hung near the tendril, and s particular leaf had just one small hole in its blade, not over three-sixteenths of an inch in diameter. So careful had been the exploration of the leaf's surface that tiiia one small hole had been discovered by the tendril, which had thru.-t itelf nearly three inches through the opening. Harper's il agazine. A Tart Old Lady, la Indiana a good many years ago a certain old lady, summoned a a witni'M, came into court wear ing a large poke bonnet, such as was then much affected by rura folks. Her answers to the ques tion put to her ling rather in diitinct, the court requesti-d ber to peak louder, though without much succecs "The court cannot hear a word you sav, mv eool woman," said the judge. "I'lea-sc to take of! that huge bonnet of yours." "Sir," she aid compweilly and distinctly enough this time, "the court has a perfect r'gbt to bi a gentleman take ofT l.i hat, but it has no right to make a lady remove ber bonnet." "Madam,'' replied the judge, "you seem so well acquainted with the law that I think you had better come up and take a scat with us on the bench." "1 thank your honor kindly," she responded, dropping s low courtesy to the court, "but there are old women enough there already. Law Notes. Her (ifghliijf)- Oh. t met such a tov ly. Ml 'n today!
