The departure of Mr. W. VV. Whitted, who has been cashier of the Home Savings Bank, for the west necessitated the election of his successor.

Accldently Found Before It Was loo Late and Safe! Clifton Craig, who is connected with the Five Points Pressing Club, came near meeting an un timely death last week. His call was a close one and a few mo ments later and he would have been asphyxiated by gas that was leaking from the heater. He was discovered by a companion in the very nick of time. It seems from the best story of the affair that Clifton Craig went into the toilet room for a bath and had been absent for sometime, A fellow workman, Mr. Pendergraph, went into the toilet room to get a pitcher of water and it was well that he did. He found Craig on the floor unconscious. Gas had filled the room and made it hard to breath. The doors were thrown open and the unfortunate fellow dragged out into the open air of the-hall. Dr. Bitting was then quickly summoned and in about thirty minutes he had Craig again in a conscious condition, but had not recovered. It was late in the night when he had overcome the experience that he went through. He was able to go to his work Friday but was very weak. How long Craig had been in an unconscious condition no one knows, but it was thought that his companion reached him soon after he fell. He stepped from the bah,tub and evidently, fell as soon , as ?he stepped orTthe floor. He could not have been there very long, as death would have resulted quickly. Mr. Craig himself does not remember so much about it He remembers feeling the dizziness and then all was blank. It was indeed a close call and but for the fact that Mr. Pender graph accidently went to the toilet room for water it is more than a probability that Mr. Craig would have died while under tbe influence of the gas. Deal oIKrs. Jane Bay. Mrs. Louisa Jane Ray died at her home on Morris and Corpora tion streets last Thursday be tween 3 and 4 o'clock. The body was carried to Lystra church, Orange county, for interment She was 70 years of age and her death was expected. Before her marriage she was a Miss Rigsbee and moved here from Chatham county. She had only one brother, Haywood Rigs bee, who lives at Sanford. Her husband died several years ago, and of the immediate family there are left two sons, and daughter. In addition to these memtloned, there are a large number of relatives in this coun ty and Chatham. The death of Mrs. Ray was the direct result of a fall she had some eighteen months ago. In that fall her leg was broken and she never recovered from it There were other complications that assisted death in its work. She was 70 years of age, and this was against her in an acci dent and hurt of the character she suffered. Several relatives and friends went with the body to Orange county, the trip through the country beginning very early in morning. The burial was about the noon hour. Rally Day exercises were con ductectcd at the Second Baptist and Trinity Methodist churches last Sunday in appropriate man ner. The attendance was large and the schools reported the sue- ,cK4 of past efforts. FOUND DEAD BY ROADSIDE. Bill Garrett Drowned In a Small Hole ol Water. BE WAS DRIVING A. BLIND HORSE. Was Intoxicated and Unable to Free Himsclf--Looks Like Pure Accident and No Inquest Is Held. W. T. Garrett, better known around Durham as Bill Garrett, was found by the roadside in a small hole of water dead. He was found by Mr. Lashley about 9 or ten o'clock and the matter was at once reported to the au thorities here and when it had been investigated relatives took charge of the body and the re mains were interred. The sheriff made the necessary affidavit and the coroner went out to see if there was any evi dence of foul play. From all that could be learned it appeared that the cause of the death of Mr. Garrett was purely an accident and no inquest was held. All the money he had during the day for which he sold cotton, was traced up to within a small amount The facts in connection with the death in such a way are about as follow?: Mr. Garrett came to Durham last Friday and brought a bale of cotton for the market ..He sold his cotton and paid up his fertilizer bill and made several small purchases here and about four o'clock left the city for his home. He was seen at Bragtown about five thirty o'clock very much under the influence of whiskey and those who saw him said they ex pected be would fall out of his wagon, but that he managed to get along. This was the last seen of him until he was found in the hole of water by the road side with his wagon near by, turned over and the blind horse in such shapa that he could not get up. Mr. Lashley and the colored man that was with him succeeded in getting the horse upon his feet and the man's head out of the water and came on to town to notify the officers. The remains were interred Sunday. Mr. Garrett leaves a wife and two children and many relatives in the county to mourn his death. So far as heard there is no suspicion that there was any foul play, but all agree that death was due to accident Joic Interesting figures. The New York Herald's independent canvass of presi dential rrobbiliities. printed Sunday, showed: Total vote in electoral college, 482. Neccessary to elect a Presi dent, 242. Republican, reasonably sure, 183. Democratic, reasonably sure, 166. Doubtful, Republican lean ings. Co. Doubtful. Democratic leanings, 19. In the balance, 45. Total 483. Taft to win must get of the doubtful votes, 54. Bryan to win must get of the duubtful votes, 75. Mrs. J. V. Riggsbee, wife of ex-Sherriff Riggsbee, is reported as being in a critical condition. and friends and relatives are daily expecting the end. Acute stomach trouble is the cause of her illness. POLITICAL SPEAKERS. Save Democrats and Republicans Great Speakers Id Store. During the remainder of the campaign, aside from the county canvass, the best speakers ol both Democrats and Republicans will visit Durham and only such will beheard here. To-night Hoh.lVaHer Murphy will address the voters of the city at the court house 'and it is predicted that a large crowd will go out to hear him. He is Dem ocratic elector-at-large and all that have heard him say that he is one of the best speakers going the rounds of the campaign. Next Tuesday night in the Academy of Music, Hon Thomas Settle, , Republican . elector-at-Iarra. will address the voters up on the fssues from a Republican standpoint. Candidate for Gov ernor on the Republican ticket will come with MrV Settle and speak at the same time and place. Republicans are expecting to have a big rally on this occasion and their efforts will be watched by the Democrats that are look ing out for Democratic success in the coming election On the 27th of October Gover- R. B-91enn will speak to Dur ham Democracy in the Academy os Music, and he will be closely followed bv Candidate W. VV. Kitchin who will speak in the Academy Monday night before the election Tuesday, which will be the final rallyjrf the campaign. It was at one time stated that Mr. Kitchin would not visit Durham during the campaign, and Demo crats in the city and surrounding country will hail his visit here with delight Other speakers may come here during tbe campaign, but this is a list of the bitrtrest guns that will be fired here during the cam D&iflrn and the forces of both nartiea are both laying much stress upon these visits of great sneakers. The county Canvass of the two parties which appears elsewhere in this issue, will be on from this week and every toting precinct will be visited and the voter urg ed to go to the polls' on election day and do his duty as he sees it. accompanied by an effort to cause him to see it in the light the speaker views it A Kei Dally. The Republican Executive Committee of the county are now issuing a daily paper, the name of which is the Messenger. The first issue appeared last Saturday and will, it is said, appear each day until the election. If the first issue is a sample of what they will have to say it ap pears very tame for a campaign document, but in all probability it will be livened up by the time the election comes and those in sympathy with the principles ad vocated will look for it with special interest Til EiKiici Is till Cm.
