DURHAM. N. C, Aug. 18, 190S
The republican convention
met and elected delegates with
out having a row, which means
that election time is approaching
and they are lining up to meet
the Democrats.
It sounds rather funny to hear
people talk about openingthe cam
paign in Durham, when it is re
membered that we have had al
most a continual campaign for
the entire year.
It may be an easy matter for
some young lawyer to beat a busi
ness man for the legislature, but
the conversation of many peopk
will belie their actions. Just
watch the vote and see.
Northern papers raise a racket
about it when the South lynches
a negro for any crime, and when
they take a notion to punish a
negro they get out after the
whole race and give the South a
chance to go after them.

Like the homeing pigeon, who
pauses in the mid air to get his
bearings ere it wings its flight,
this writer halts to uncorrode his
pen, while putting on the gar
ments of the old "treadmill" of
the fourth estate.
The new annex to the Corcoran
Hotel is rapidly approaching com
pletion. This annex will about
double the capacity of thi3 popu
lar hostlery, and will add to its
appearance and that of the street.
The tobacco season is about to
begin in Durham, and the farm
ers will find spacious warehouses
and ready buyers.
The "Talks on Europe" by
Rev. S. S. Bost, of St. Phillips'
church have been especially in

since so many citizens of Durham
have made the trip this summer
The question of candidates for
the legislature will soon be sett
led, but it will come with bad
graces from one who claims no
party himself to question the
right of his neighbor to run.
the
The amount to be spent in the
National campaign sounds large
and all the talk recently indulged
in this state about it being im
possible for a poor man to secure
a state office sounds small when
the National xptr-ses of a cam

Some of thorn that are supposed
to be :n the race speak of "my

The circus and then the Demo
cratic primaries all in one week
should furnish enough for all to
attend at one time.
The Republican convention
meets in Charlotte next week
and while, from what some
writers say there will be no
amount of racket over who shall
be the nominee, the meeting
will be interesting for many
reasons. Tee event will be
watched with interest. Of course
the talk that the Republicans
will carry the election is out of
reason, but if what people that
get around a good deal say is
true, there is little reason but to
beleive that the Republican vote
will reduce former Democratic
majorities, and in many close
counties may secure a represena
tive to the legislature.
Dr. Bowling Has Resigned.
Owing to fact that he has mov

Bowling has resigned as city ald
erman and his resignation will be
acted upon at the next regular
meeting of the board.
Many matters of a routine
nature were considered by the
aldermen at their meeting lat
night, but nothing of general in
terest was done.
Quite a number of old veterans

LEGISLATURE SITUATION.
The laboring men can't afford to stij
port Mr Smith for the legislature because
his interest is directly opposed to the
laboring man, and with the rich man.
You can't blame any man for working
for his own interest. The interest of the
mill owner wants long hours and short
pay, low priced cotton and tobacco anil
high prised manufactured article.
Nearly all the mil s in Durham are owned
by one concern and can you doubt that
that concern is running Mr. Smith. He
is a banker and capitalist, as well as
mill siijvrinteniknt. As such what in
terest can be had in concern with the
f.irnitr am! laborer, none wholeness.
Every interest he represents is opposed l
outs. Human nature is weak and selfish.
A man who is rich enough toW a director
in Mr I'ukc'sbank, however good he
may l-e can't heip legislating in the in

two lots just opposite the new Y.
M. C. A. building on the corner
of Main and Roxboro streets?
Near enough to the depot, in the
center of the city, and yet retir
ing enough, too. What does Mr.
Geer say to this public need?
South Mangum street is fast
recovering from the paralysis
that held it for so many years.
Buildings are being occupied, im
provements made, and this cent
ral thoroughfare is fast taking
on the life and pash that is so
characteristic of Durham. Why
not replace Ihe old cobblestones
with macadam?
The rural town of Charlotte
goes wild over its miniature sky
scraper, but if its demizens want
to see a real substantial structure
that is a thing of beauty, let
them come and behold our just
completed Y. M. C. A. building.
Ti th well-traveled man and
the practiced eye, it presents a
trimness and symmetry rarely
seen in public buildings, and the
contractors are making its inter
ior appointments in perfect har
mony with exterior attractive
ness.
When Durham thinks the mat
ter over, she will remove that
unsightly jail and inadequate
court-house to some more appro
priate spot. The traveling put
lie, as well as its people, will say
amen.
