.he DUHHAri RECORDER. Semi-Weekly. EVERY TUESDAY AND FRIDAY By ZCB. 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 3-1879. Subscription Rates : . One year $1.00 S'z months 50 cents Three months 35 cents , Rates for advertising made known on application. DURHAM. N. C, Aug. 21, 1908 Wonder if any of the candi dates for the legislature will have cause to believe that silence would have been golden to them. With many more mornings, like the last, Durham will be in need of a new and larger jail to accomodate those that persist in violating the law. Do you suppose any body will be more interested in the result of the Democratic primaries in this county than the Republicans? If ' so, point them out Suppose, just tor a moment, ' all the candidates for the legis i lature should express their view of the fitness of their opponents ; for the place, what would happen next? It is to be hoped that the offi cers of this city can be successful in landing one or more, if this be the case, of those guilty of setting fire to houses, for this will be' the only way to put a stop to it. The nominee to-morrow may be a man that will receive the support of Democrats in Durham county, but many are of the opin ion that it depends upon the kind of a man the Republicans put up against him. To young fellows that remem ber well how the stories of the civil war used to stir them, the annual meeting of the old veter ans comes with renewed interest, and one is reminded how swiftly time is thinning out their ranks. It is amusing to see things iu the paper and hear what J. P. Campbell is doing regarding the race for the legislature because everybody realises that it is a joke; but such !is not the case with some ot the other candidates for they are in earnest With his knowledge of the of fenders of Durham, Hon. Jones Pu.Ier should be able to greatly strengthen the road force of Dur ham county at the next term of court. The docket is full, and when the offenders come up, they will fdoubtless realize that Mr. Fuller is a better lawyer thau they at one time thought. The refusal of Hon. Locke Craig to accept the vacancy of a judgeship inere.nses his stock as a candidate for governor, and had it come before the nomination, doubtless many people would have felt more like supporting him. Among other things it shows that be was not out mere ly alter the job or rather a job. Some few things are being brought about the office of county commissioner now before the Democratic primaries and people are beginning to see how affairs have been conducted by the pres ent members, and if the Republi cans do not get busy ?s soon as the nominations have been made and tell what is public record, we will be fooled. SHORT LOCAL ITEMS. lv Bryan aeceived the nomina tion while he advocated and thought best the principles that some are p!e?,sed to term a hobby with bim, we see no reason for him to be silent on these questions now. However we are persuad ed that he is the same Bryan, but that some of those that have been against him want excuse for be ing in the band wagon and tty to claim that he is at least silent on some question that they objected fo. mmm mmm mm mmn. 1 The Southern Conservatory of Music will open for the fall term August 20th. Now let our city fathers have Watkins street completed and graded to Mangum street. The times are hard, but its hard to prove by the large crowd seen in the circus yesterday. Mr. T. O. Sharp, the marble dealer, is now completing a hand some monument to the late Dr. J. C. Brown. An immense crowd lined Main street yesterday to see tha parade, and a more orderly and well . be haved one is rarely seen. Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Erwin and the children have returned from Atlantic city, where they have been spending some time. Mr. Arthur Brown and Miss Fannie Harver, of West Durham, were united in marriage by 'Squire J. E. Owens on Monday last, and their friends wish them a long and happy life. We call special attention to the new ad, of the City Transfer Co,, in another column. The company ! have just lowered the grade of their commodious stables to that of the adjacent street, and are now prepared to fill all livery and hauling orders. Mr. Bobgood's Store Kor Opes. Mr. B.W. Hobgood's store that been closed for some weeks has owing to the fact that collections prevented him from meeting his accounts promptly, has bcen re opened and Mr. Hoggood can be found at the same old stand. He is offering bargains in Ox fords and all summer shoes that will be of special interest to pur chasers. This is being dune to make room fcr his new goods that will soon be coming in. His many friends in Durham and sur rounding counties will rejoice that he is to continue in business in Durham. I fearful Boiler Explosion. Taylorsville, Aug. 1 7. Two men lost their lives, and two others were seriously, probably fatally injured by the explosion of the boiler at Mr. William Reid's saw-mill, near Draco, in Caldwell county, sixteen miles from Tay lorsville this morning, at n o' clock. The dead are: Henry Gilbert, aged 50, and Fred Jackson, aged 2 1 . The injured are Mr. William Reid, the owner of the mill, and his son, Hugh. All the parties are white, and were working at the saw-mill when the explosion occurred. Ma. Reid is not expected to live, and his son is in a serious condi tion. The exact cause of the explos ion has not been ascertained, but it is thought to have been the result of too high pressure. The safety vahe, was tied down, and the exact pressure at the time of the explosion is not known. The boiler was thrown 50 yards, and demolished. The engine was a!so completely injured. Independent Journalism. The Richmond Times-Dispatch printed recently the names of certain prominent Virginia Demo crats who will vote for Judge Taft, and for doing so is called to acount by a correspondent, who says to it that "No Republican paper in the United States would help Democracy for pay, as you help Republicanism lor nothing." To this the Richmond contempor ary makes reply in part, as fol lows: "The first duty of a paper ts to give the news. Having dune so, it may seek to argue a to the true cflUt of the news it has printed.. But its prime .and unescapable duty is to put its readers in possession of unbiased facts. Were this not 'so, did , all the papers print only half truths, or conceal the important happen ings of the day, the public would grope uncertainly to a conclus ion. This is a correct statement of the true mission of a newspaper, but a part of the public will not have it so. These are those who do not want to read that part of the truth, which is unpalatable to them; who do not want to read anything, with which they do not agree. These are people happily diminishing in number, who would destroy the most valuable function of a newspaper, to wit: its candid presentation of all sides of public opinion, in news and views, with truth and fairness. They wrong themselves in this, for if they had a press to their likiug, it would be a press which would leave them half or less than half enlightened. Saying so much, The Obser ver would like to have it under stood that there is no plaint on its own account The public was charitable to it in its independent days, broadly tolerant of it, and it expects no more liberal patrou- je or generous treatment in every way, now mat it uas De- come regular again, than was ac corded it before it was ransomed; but these few remarks by no means individual but wholly gen eral, are submitted, because the Virginia incident suggests them, in behalf of good journalism and sound public thought Charlotte Observer.
