The DUKHArl RECORDER Semi-Weekly. EVERY TUESDAY AND FRIDAY. ByZEB. P. COUNCIL. ESTABLISHED 1820. Entered u second class matter August 1903, at the postofflce at Durham, N. C, under the act of Congress of March t.1879. Subscription Rates : One year . . ........ . , ......... J 1.00 Biz months 50 cents rhree months 35 cents Rates for advertising made known on application. DURHAM. N. C, May 12. 1908 COIWTT OFFICEH. Before we are fully aware of it men will be announcing the fact that they want to serve the people in some official capacity. In new of the fact that a Demo cratic nomination virtually means election, it is well that we should consider the question well be fore we participate in the pri maries. In the past few weeks local af fairs have not claimed attention because the campaign of candi dates for State and National of fices has been on. So far as this county is concerned this has been settled. It is not our purpose to speak tit or against any man in such a time, but we wish to call the at tention of voters to a few things about which they may think: f irst, it is tne duty or every citizen to take part in the elec tion of our officers, and do what they can to secure thejbest men possible. Second, while it is not the christian spirit to hold a man's part against him, it. is the only means we have in judging bow they will act in the future, and any man that comes up that has not heretofore given heed to the wishes of the people should not receive your support. Every effort should be made to select men that will serve the best in terests of the people that elect them. Another matter that usually bobs up during election time: The friends of some candidate will say: "Don't vote for that man; while he is the best man for the place, you stand no show of electing him, and you will onlb lose your vote." Don't let such assertions fool you, but when you believe you have found a clean, honest man, vote for him and register your approval of his course if he only gets your vote. There are plenty of good men to fill the county offices and represent this county in the Legislature that will honor the position they occupy, and there is no need of accepting a make shift. Look around and select your man for the office and don't sit still and wait for the profes sional office seeker to come along and get the place. There is a good deal of talk about carnivals, circuses and ex cursions taking money away from a community that should be left there, and the first sugges tion is to pas3 a law. The pass ings law business along such lines has been over worked, and unless men naturally refrain from patronizing such things, there is little hope of doing away with them. The plea is heard by collectors of bills that money goes into such things that should go toward the payment of some debt. Every man should pay his debts, but the refusal of credit to such as will not will do more to that end than all the laws that can ever be passed. When Mr. Bramham threat ened to publish names of all that had been securing it on prescrip tion, he threw a bomb-shell that awakened quite a number; and were he to publish a list of ex press and freight orders re ceived here during the three months, another class would take Next Saturday is the last; day in which you can register if you are to vote in the coming elec tion on prohibition. Spring is late in taking its leave and cool nights are detri mental to crops,, but fine for tired people to sleep. In stringent times a great deal is said about debt paying and how careless people are, and one thing is noticeable: the little fellow that owes a few dollars is pushed much more than the man that has or is supposed to have plenty of money and owes large bills. A Call has been issued for the negroes of every town and county in the State to meet in Raleigh to-day, the object being to work against the ''Lily White Republicans" that have exclud ed them from their councils. The result of this movement will be watched with interest. a There are two events in man's career when all the good known of him is told: when he is a candidate for some office and when he dies, the only difference being that when he is a candi date for office his opponents see that all the bad in him is brought to light. we often see m tne papers that Mr. Cannon, the speaker of the House of Representatives, will allow, or will not allow cer tain bills to come up for consid eration, and presume that such statements are correct: If one man is to run the House what is the use of so many representa tives. If such things are true what have the people to do with the government anyway. mmm .at the proniDition question is coming in for its share of dis cussion just now and the best speakers both for and against the .measure will address the voters. To be sure we have our idea of the issue, but feel re garding it very much as we al ways did about the question of which church a man should join Baptist, Methodist, Pres byterian, etc that every man should decide for himself. Problbltloa Campaign. As the time to cast your vote for or against the proposed pro hibition bill draws nigh, speak ers xor Dotn sides are coming thick and fast and each side is represented by the best that the advocates can induce to speak. Monday night in East Durham Rev. C.J. Thompson an Hon. W. C. Douglas spoke. To-night ex-Judge W. S. O'B Robinson will speak at the court house.

The Daughters of the Con federacy fittingly observed last last Sunday in honor of the Con federate dead. A large crowd went out to Maplewood ceme tery to help decorate and hear the annual address. Mr. J. C. O'Daniel began the day of tribute by sounding the bugle call which was answered by the sweet song, "Rock of Ages," sung by Durham's best singers. Rev.lN. M. Mclver, one of the heroes in war, offered prayer, and Mayor Graham spoke earnestly of the day and the dead. He was followed by Mr. W. J. Brogden of the Durham bar. . : ; COUNTY DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. Delegates- Elected to the Judical, Congressional and State Contention. The county Democratic1 con ventionmetin the court house Saturday at noon for the purpose of ' ratifying the action of the primary vote of the previons Saturday. Short speeches were made by several prominent Democrats present while the committee, consisting of one from each vot ing precinct, were out making up the list of delegates to the several conventions. Resolutions endorsing the course of Senator Overman, Gov ernor Glenn and advocating the election of Jones Fuller as So licitor were offered and carried without a dissenting voice. The committee recommended delegates to the State, Judicial and Congressional conventions to carry out the wish expressed at the primaries. The session of the convention lasted about one and a half hours and an adjournment was taken with the best of feeling and al feeling sure of success in the fall election. Death ot Mr. RIgsbee. The death of Clifton Rigsbee, who was so dreadfully injured ten days ago, occurred Sunday afternoon at the Watts hospital where he had been taken in the hope of improvement. The young man, who was 23 and the father of a little girl eight months old, was riding .on a wagon loaded with telephone poles and fell on a spike that al most went through his body. He suffered terribly, but there was at one time some hope for him. Later he grew worse and it be came known several days ago that he could not live. ine lunerai services , were held yesterday afternoon from the residence of his father. John J. Rigsbee, on Spring street The Knights of Maccabees took charge of the funeral, a beauti ful ceremony it is, too, and bur ied their first brother in this city under the solumn formula. Rev. C. J. Thompson conducted the services and a large number of his friends attended. Besides a wife and child, f ath er ana otner relatives, young Rigsbee left friends all over the city who are saddened by an end so pathetic as his. SoperlorXCoart JConrenEj.

Parker, Jr., of Graham, is doing the work of Solicitor Brooks, who will not arrive here until the date set for the hear ing of the case in which he is charged with taking fees that did not belong to him.

Resides her. there are seven children, two brothers and two sisters, and numerous Durham relatives. The family is a i finely connected one. a race that con quers obstacle wherever they may be. The death of Mr. Lyon removes a mason of high standing, a fra ternalistwho lived his obliga tions in his daily life. Rev. G. T. Adams conducted the funeral services from the home at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon. Deatb of Mr. Lyon. After a long illness, a pro tracted combat with a stealthly disease, Mr. J. Ed Lyon died Friday at noon at his home on North Mangum street. The health of Mr. Lyon had been ill for months, a year or more. Early in 1907 he moved his family to High Point and about two months ago returned to his old home and for the pat several weeks he had steadily declined with his family about him. Mr. Lyon was born in Gran ville county nearly seventy years ago. When Durham was a young town became here, did success fully and was a member of the firm of Z. I. Lyon & Co. He was less fortunate in the second venture of the kind, but his re verses served to show Whatman ner of man he was.

In the new firm Mr. H. S. Torrey becomes a mem ber of the firm.
