One of my lady friends called on me one afternoon, thre her self into a comfortable rocker, stretched her hands over her head, and indulged in a hearty yawn. She said I heard sad news today. "My old sweet heart has decided to enter the holy bonds of matrimony, he is fascinating as well as brilliant, I envy the fortunate girl, alas I can only sigh and wish it was I. My cousins made a trip to Dur ham last week, it was a dreary morning drizzling rains, but they made the trip. As the day ad vanced the clouds gradually cbarod away, and in the after noon the sun shone from a clear my, umbrellas were discarded and the world looked cheerful again. They readied the City at 2 o'clock, went from one store to another, making purchases un til after a while their arms were uncomfortably full of packages and they both had developed a large appetite, they carried a lunch and ate to their satisfac tion. After they returned B. said to Pat, I am so glad you came with me, I have enjoyed the trip. The writer, Misses Daisy and Myrtle Wilson, spent an after noon with Miss Nellie Gray, had a real pleasant afternoon. It was raining some and the roads was very muddy, a hand same little fellow who drives the gray horses, wanted to bring us home, but we told him it would bo too much trouble.

T'i'T" v:- n hrgrf crowd of yoaiiji povpit; fc-U.t'i vU ul , G. Tan Men Chosen. East Durham and Hunt's store precincts send Taft delegates to the Republican county conven tion. However, from the Hunt's Store precinct there will be contest. , . The" jrimary in East Durham met Saturday at 1 o'clock and it was easy sailing for the Taft men. The primary for Hunt's Store met at 7:30 and resolutions and delegates favorable to the Taft men were elected and the pri mary adjourned before all the men that intended participating in the convention had arrived. This is where the kick comes in. The Cannon forces charge that the Taft men circulated report that the primary would not be held until eight o'clock and that tluir men were not thera as a consequence they will enter a contest to their delegates. At this time, with a number of other primaries to be held, the Taft and Cannon forces areabout equally devided, and when the convention meets next Saturday, there will be an opportunity to verify the claims of the friends of each candidate. MONDAY PRIMARIES. The primaries held Monday has changed the above. At West Durham, Southside, and Brag town, the Cannon crowd had thin is the way they wanted them and sent a delegation to the county convention that favor the old man. Resolutions en dorsing Taft and Spencer B. Adams were voted down at Brag town. This brings about a change in what the convention was thought to be Sunday. The Cannon men are sure that when the conven tion meets they will easily have a majority and send a delegation to CGeensboro that will holler and vote for Cannon. J. M. Blackwood, who has made Durham his home for a number of years, leaves this week for Texas, where he will reside in the future. He will make his home with son. Fuller, wh - hrn been in Texas for oire y...rs. Brooks to Resign. Greensboro, N. C, March 14 There was considerable interes: felt here yesterday afternoon upon reading a dispatch from Charlotte in the . Record to the effect that Solicitor Brooks had there announced that he would resign in 'his office o: solicitor prior to the Con Congressional Convention. So hcitor Brooks returned today from Charlotte, and being ask ed if the report was authentic, declared that it was. He fur ther said that it had been known all along by his intimate friends that he was going tojresign, but he had not thought it proper to make t he matter the subject o: debate of needless gossip. His resignation will be tendered the Governor to take effect June 30th. In this way the successor can be indicated by the voters of the Judical District in anominat ing convention, and not only re lieve Governor Glenn and Solici tor Brooks of the charge of favor tism, politics, etc., but give each candidate a fair chance. His Senteflce Commuted. Governor Glenn has commuted the sentence of the negro, Major Guthne to life imprisonment. The history of the case is fa miliar to our readers: How uuinne swiie wa3 lound mur dered in her bed,and how later he was arrested and every cir cumstance pointed to his guilt. 99 . a tie was tried m tne superior court and convicted, and since that time the attorney appointed by the court to defend, Benja min Lovensteiq, has been work ing to get him out of the trouble. Ane commuting,, of this sen tence will meet with the ap probation of many people in this town where the evidence, while convincing, was purely circum stantial. The efforts of Lawyer Lovenstein to save the life of the negro has been remarked upon hf many people and he is to be congratulated that they have not been in vain. Guthrie was carried to Raleigh Monday by Sheritf Harward and urned over to the penitentiary authorities to vbecin his life sen tence. HERE THIS WEEK.
