Semi-Weekly. EVERY TUESDAY AND FRIDAY. By ZEB. P. COUNCIL. ESTABLISHED 1820. Entered as second class matter August 1903, at the postofflce at Durham, N. C,'under the act of Congress of March I. X879. Subscription Rates : One year.. ... , ft.oo o x nionths ,50 cents faree months 25 cents Rates for advertising made known on application, DURHAM, N. C, April 21, 1908 ' Mr. Bryan may not be able to deliver the votes when the elec tion comes off, but suppose some body Jname the Democrat that can. It may be that Mr. Kitchin will not win the nomination, but some of the fellows that are run ning would feel lots better if they were dead sure he would lose. One candidate comes along and criticises the other for his stand on certain things just as if he thought people expected him to endorse the same thing the other fellow stood for. If Congressmen and Senator would spend the time that is con sumed in telling one another what they think of them in speak ing in the interest of some ' good legislation more might be accom plished if or the good of the country. Laster was just such a day as many wished for! and many "of our people were but enjoying the dav fittinclr. Pimf9. ordure in ne . " ; and the like were not lacking for patronage, and so far there has been no reports to detract from the general pleasure of the day. All this talk about the wets 'going to carry the state, is idle; There is little chance 'of the whishey element winning, while it is generally radmitted that? in many places thejote will not e as strong'fof prohibition" as ""you1 might infer from the fact that it is now dry territory. , The friends of Judge B. B. ' Winborne, of Murfreesboro, are doing their best to present his claims to the Democratic voters the State. No better man "could be selected to fill this responsible position, and all that is neccessary to convince you that he will fill the position if elected with, credit t3 himself and the State, is for you to seek to find out something about him. fffrMn riwlM WII-m nt.uiu iuii,a miBbJ. The Democrats of Wilkes county . .... .. .- sprung a surpnseon many in their way of voting Monday. Of the 107 popular votes cast Kitchin received 93, Craig 10 and Horne 4... Up to the present time most of the primaries that have been held have been decidedly in favor of Crai; but the time is coming when Kitchin will begin to make a showing. Many were depend ing upon the Fifth and eastern districts for Mr. Kitchin's support and this carrj ing of Wilkes was a surprise to many. ' Some years ago Mr. J. S. Carr was a candidate for United States Senator from this State against Mr. F. M. Simmons, in the fight Mr. Kitchin as well as many of bif friends in this county, did everything they could to carry the county for Mr. Carr, and to defeat Mr. Simmons, f In this fight Mr. Kitchin : won the en mity of Senator Simmons, but it seems that . Gen. Carr has for gotten the part that Mr; Kitchin ' took in that fight ; To say the least his position in the fight for the Democratic nomination for Governor, is a surprise to his friends in Person, ai well as a ' litter disappointment. Jloxboro Courier. " V .' Philip H. Meade a Suicide.' Chapel Hill, N. C, April 18- With a pistol wound in hi3 head made by placing i the barrel ' in in his mouth, Philip H. Meade, express agent and son of Rev. W, H. Meade, of the Episcopal church here, was found dead this afternoon at 6 o'clock. ' . ' There is not the slightest cir cumstance that has tended thus for to clarify the mysterious death. There is no doubt of the suicide, but what, led to it may always be problematical. The young man had , not been de spondent and was, so far as can be J learned tonight,- perfectly straight in his 'accounts. If he had a love affair it is not known. He had not been a heavy- drink er. N Young Meade was last seen alive about 12:50. He had been in the room of Fred Patterson, a friend, both of whom have rooms over Patterson's 'hotel. ;Near the time of the suDDOsed shot (nobody seems to have heard it) Mr. Meade left his friend's room and " passed , through another friend's, John Markham. Here he halted, bolted the door and fired the shot. He was not found until 6 o'clock and Dr. Isaac Manning expresses the be lief that he had been dead abou nve .nours. lhe wound was produced by firing into hi3 mouth and death must have been in stantaneous. M. Meade was found by a col ored man who went up stairs to do some cleaning ud in Mr. Markham's room. Until that time he appears not to have been missed and when the door was found bolted, it was' broken open. There-be lay dead, his clothes soaked in blood and the pistol by his side. The colored man was greatly frightened. Mr. Meade was 32 years old and unmarried. He was one of two children of Dr. Meade. . a sister. Mrs. R. E. French, bejng the onlv member of the family - T 7 i ; " to comfort their aged father. Upon him most of all does the blow fall heavily. No funeral arrangements have been made. The family were Virginians and the body may be taken there. Young Meade came here. !n the winter of 1899, his father succeeding the Rev; Thos. E. Winecoff as rector of Jhe Chapel oi me Vro3s. tie attended me state university and played ball on its. team. He was afterwards its coach and played one season with Raleigh. IIe was an un usually fine athlete, handsome of physique and withal a modest, though quite a lively companion iable fellow. If he has been af flicted with melancholia at any time nobody thus far has seem ed able to detect it and the death in so tragic a way, . fills the village with sorrow. Cealb cl Kr. Beavers. Mr. F. I. Beavers, aged 81; died yesterday morning about 9:30 at his home on Holman ave aue in Edgemont. He leaves a wife and two children. He was a veteran of the civil war and is survived also by a brother, G. T. Beavers. The funeral services will be held this afternoon about 2 o'clock from the House. Rev. M. Bradshaw will conduct it and the pall bear ers will be his comrades in war. The burial takes place in the city cemetery. . r r , nuiMt s ''' ' Sate Selected. The date for the annual State Fair of North Carolina has been selected and will be held at Ral eigh October 12-17, 1908. The management Is making arrangements for the best state fair in the history of the State and the attendance will likely be the largest, or rather much larger than last year, 1 -1" Practically every lawyer in Durham has endorsed Jones Ful ler for Solicitor, as in fact , al most every Democratic voter will do when the time comes to cast up votes. SHORT LOCAL, ITEMS. Mr. and Mrs. Cullen Howerton arrived in Durham Monday. They will make this city their home. They were unjted in marriage in Greensboro last week. " . The auto line between Durham and Chapel Hill began on the first regular schedule to-day. It leaves the postoffiee each day at 9 and 2:30 o'clock and returning leaves Chapel Hill at lljand 4-15 o'clock, and passengers are taken on and let off at Pickett's Mill. ' - Clarence Mohler,' manager of the Union News Co., at Raleigh, skipped out last ' Saturday. His accounts were short $300 or more and he has not been heard from since.' In addition to the "funds of the; company he borrowed $40 from a negro that sold ' sand wiches. ; , . ' - . - When Age Troubles Women., ' "Women," said a marriage license clerk, "often lie about tliefr-nge in the certificate. Look here. This is a letter from a woman now, asking me if a little age lie will illegitimate her marriage. She says she is thirty-six,' and her fiance -.thinks her twenty-nine. She. wants naturally to maintain the illusion.", I get such letters every week. I reply, , if stamps, are inclosed, that there is no law against these lies. After all, they do no harm, do they? Yea? No?;:-' - . . - 'There's a law against them in Australia. There only the othet day a divorce was ranted a man on the plea that his wife had lied about J her ageto him. bhe was, it seems, forty-six, but -he had thought her only thirty-five.'' New, York Press, .1'- The Earliest Money. -. , The earliest money was probably shells, or strips of bark. " Skins ap pear very early as a medium of ex change.4 Later on sheep, oxen and other sort of cattle were used ts the measure of value. With the advent of agriculture the products of the farm were sometime madev tqr!6 value nnii. So late as the early colonial, times in Virginia" tobacco was used as currency; Eventually the metals iron,- silver and gold be came the almost universally recog nized money of civilized "and semi civilized peoples, iron taking . the lead in1 point of time.
