C, Juue 2. 1908 We expected some of them to grin and show their teeth when Kitchin began to climb up with votes, and we were not disap pointed. Governor Clenn is oat and out for Bryan, and says that in his opinion he will get more votes than any other man Dem ocrats could put up. No there is no change here and in other dry territory, and where they have dispensaries and saloons will not be rid of them until Jan. 1, 1909. The voting is over and the votes have been counted and when the campaign bills have been paid the prohibition elec tion will be a thing of the past It is really amusing to see how the fact that Kitchin resorts to political (methods to .help his candidacy is paraded, as if the other candidates never thought of doing such things. The friends of Hon. W. W. Kitchin have just causa to be proud of last week's work. At this rate, or even at a less rate of increase, Mr. Kitchin will get the most votes in the convention. At A "tl . no man wno is so mortaiiy stunted" as to stand for the sa- oon in this enlightened age is worthy to hold any office in North Carolina. That much ought to be clearly settled by the recent victory. Another lesson rom the campaign is this: those speakers were most effective who were the most reasonable, temperate and good natured. The bitter ranters replied rather than won. Abuse is the poorest wea pon in the world in waging a a campaign, and extravagance always rebounds upon the speak er. We beard of a number who were convinced that prohibition is right, but none who were driv en to the dry side. The most heartening and wholesome les- mm. ' son ox tcne wnoie campaign is that the whole campaign is that he people of North Carolina ove right. In 1881 the cause was lost for two reasons: The people were not educated to a proper appreciation of the enor mity of the liquor traffic, and the negro vote was arrayed in almost solid phalanx against prohibition; but since that time the public conscience has been quickened, and last Tuesday's vote was the voice of the people on a great moral measure. It would be an unspeakable calamity if the im moral forces should win, and the electorate of our State should side with the unclean and de praved. Without knowing to a certainly the result, we are con fident that the citizenship of North Carolina are on the siae of purity and truth. Charity and Children. ML CLEMENT'S 6PIX10X. Of course some of the candi dates for county office have been talking things around some for quite a while, but the real cam paign will not take place until after the convention in Charlotte June 24th. The Daily Record, of Rocky Mounc, made its appearances yesterday and from appearances begin well. On the staff we no tice the name of our friend, J. L. Home, as city editor. "Josh" is a good fellow and we wish him well in his work in his home town. There appears to be little use to have an uninstructed delega tion to the National Democratic convention to defeat Bryan, and yet if some of the men wanting an uninstructed delegation should be accused of trickery they would be ready to deny the charge. DURING the past campaign there was much talk about the fact that prohibition would not prohibit and on every hand you could hear the statement that men would favor it if it would prohibit. Wonder if the zeal of,such people will come to the aid or the State officers when we have prohibition next year. Looking Back. As this article is being writ ten, we do not know how decis ive a majority has been given to prohibition, but we may learn some lessons from the battle that has been fought and won. One thing is this: We know pretty well how to vote in the Novem ber election. No matter what is said or done by any primary or convention, no party law ought to compel any "dry" man to vote for a "wet" one. In the first place, a politician with so little political foresight as to im agine that North Carolina is in favor of the liquor traffic, is a poor man to send to Raleigh to make laws; but in the second and far more important place, missioners in excess of, two dol- ars are void. ' I hope the above explanation will bo of benefit to the county commissioners ot the several counties when; they .meet on une 1. ' (Signed.) Very respectfully, Hayden Clements. Assistant Attorney General. Co. "L" First Regiment N. C Honor Tbelr Dead. The graves of the dead mem bers of the Durham company of soldiers that served in the Span ish American war, were decorat ast Saturday by members of the company and the relatives and friends of the departed ones. Secretary T. B. Edwards, of the local company, called the roll of the dead who are buried in Maplewood. They are Matthew Barbee, Luther G. Stone, George Subanks, Sam Eubanks, Sam Henderson, Ira McDade, John Andrews, E. J. Remington, James Bowles, Albert Cates, John Strickland and George . Bennett. Sidney C. Chambers, Captain of the Durham company at the present time made a short ad dress, speaking of the cause for which soldiers should saise their armsjand the impulses that prorat ed soldiers to do their duty. The ceremonies were fitting and the National decoration day was not forgotten in Durham. SHORT LOCAL ITEMS. of as Poll Tax Setled and Assistant liter nej General ffrltu of It The question of poll tax has been in the air and the supreme court recently rendered a decision which, affects .in a email way Durham, one of the 85 counties that comes under the provision The f poll tax requirement in this county was $2.49. Special school tax elections made levies allowable and there were some times as much as 45 cents ad ditional made. East and West Durham are affected by this and the 700 disfranchised voters who did not pay their tax tax by May 1, will have it on those who took advantage of the early months to vote. The court holds that not more than $1 can be charged upon the polls and when the tax receipts are given there will be less required than those who who have paid before. There will be no rebate. The opinion of Mr. Clement is appended in answer to an in quiry from Mr. D. W. Sorrell, the school board. The supreme court hold follows: 1. That the act was constitu tional and that the commissioners correctly construed it. That without regard to the act of the general assembly by the imperative words of the consti tution, section 1, article 5, "The state and county capitation tax combined shall not exceed tw dollars." No other further capitation on poll tax than two dollars can be levied for any purpose. Thus all statues levying a property tax and poll tax combined in excess of two dollars are invalid, so far as the requirements that the pol tax be levied, restraining the poll tax to two dollars. This de cision does not affect the pol tax levied in connection with the pension tax, that being a state tax, and combined with the oth tax, does not exceed two dot lars. County commissioners, in levy ing taxes xor the present year will, therefore, eliminate al special tax on polls, and levy the usual two dollars, as constructed by the superior court in this case. This decision in no manner af fects the poll tax by the state but only requires that all specia taxes levied by the county com DECORATION DAI OBSERVED, N. G. The Southern Conservatory of Music will open for the fall term on September the tenth. J. E. Pegram, who assisted Chairman Oates in Raleigh, dur ing the campaign for prohibition, has returned to Durham. Griswold Insurance and Real Estate Company ?sold 40 lots in Pearson Town at Auction last Saturday and every one brought a satisfactory price. J. Frank Maddry has accepted the position of local editor of the Daily Sun to fill the vacancy of H. B. Branch who resigned and went to Wilmington Sunday. Mr. Maddry is an old newspaper man in Durham and needs no in traduction. The merchants Association met last Friday night and cele brated their third anniversary. A review of what has been ac complished showed that the organization has heen a great help to the merchants of Dur ham. The city aldermen met last night in regular monthly meet ing. The principal business was in reference. to an undergrade crossing at Gregson street, which was ordered opened by the aldermen by September 1. Two drinking fountains were or dered placed, one near the court house and the other near the Wright building. Other mat ters of minor importance were looked after before the board ad journed.
