Details Stowing tent ef Taxes Canceled In Ciirliaffl County a;id M Money is Luud fur. The work of getting the amount of taxable property in shape and entering same upon the tax books has been completed and the books are ready for ac ceptance by the county commis sioners who will turn them over to the sheriff.. Durham nearly reaches the twenty-two million dollar mark. The following fig ures show exactly how the ac counts stand: In the first place a slight error was found that mikes the county worth more money than was thought. This error gives the county a total valuation of $21, tl, 422-almost twenty-two mil lion dollars. On this property there will be collected in regular and special taxes the total of $1.M".$3. This is the largest amount f money ever placed upon a shcriiT to collect in this c-iunty and this notwithstanding the fact that under the recent deeifim of the Supreme Court t :.irc ,.; Jest 4U cents en each poll in the c-mty. It r been told befere about the amount of taxed to be col 1 i".vd, but this story was not in !&U and did mi divide the f;nd3 into the various dtpirt-j in.-r.ti.- IT.!- ha? now bwn dot.t r. r.

The farmers union is being talked very much of late and as they j have selected a binding word for their name, we do hope and trust that they will not burst this time, for if any class of people on earth deserve to be united it is the farmer. Farmers in this community are about through sowing their wheat and some are gathering corn. The Barton Mill Company are about making improvements at their mill which will add much to the value of the property. The family of the late P. L. Tapp. who have been down with, typhoid fever, will all soon be able to be out again if they have no serious backset. The county candidates will speak at AS next Saturday and we are expecting to hear some good speeches. We are hopeful that Hon. J." A. Long will be elected by a good majority, which he deserves, for he has done as much or more than any other man to help Person county oa it financial feet. I will give this as my opinion: 1 do not believe that any husband cn treat his wife better than to purchase her a Greenville Washer. Lots of my near neighbored are making wash day easier for their wives of .late, and Mrs. George fu.v says that she would not t:.ke anything for her washer. i ,e:i-" all'.) .v irx space to itv n- o; in- conua u.ors o LARGE CROWD AT ACADEMY Messrs.

And to you who have been so kind, you will not lose your reward in this life nor in the one beyond. Our Saviour t the example of administering to the sick, and it seemed to be the joy of his existence to relieve the suffering and He never failed in a single case, and following his example we can never help a better cause than by lending a helping hand to sick and suffering people.

Glenn is coming to Durham to discuss the issues from a Democratic standpoint, and will hold forth at Parrish warehouse Monday night. It was at first intended to have the speaking at the Academy of Mu sic, but owing trthe fact that a show ia billed for the same date, the committee had to secure the warehouse. Governor Glenn Is a fine speak er and all that is necessary for him to havo a crowd is to let St become kno a n that he ta to tpcuk. Messrs, Cox and Horebead Kaks Friends lor Republicans. Settle's Speech M S3 Good. Last Tuesday night was a red letter occasion tor Durham coun ty Republicans when they as sembled at the Academy of Music to hear the issues discussed by Messrs. Se ttle Cox and Morehead. Ti.e auditorium was i'uil and many were standing up in the aidiis when the hour arrived for the sneaking to begin, and the crotivd were enthusiastic. ilon. Thomas Settle, elector for the state, was not present at the b.ijinmg, but it was announced i that he would come in as he was , on his way to Durham by special i train. The special train arrived ; a little afur eight o'clock and Mr. Settie arrived at the Aca demy a few moments later. When Mr. Settle enterd he was given an ovation by the crowd that were listening to the speech of Mr. Cox. Mr. Cox wa3 the first speaker and he was presented by Mr. Jonn C. Angier, of this city. While the speech of Mr. Cox was not what political gatherings were used to, manner and de live! y impressed his hearers that he is what has often said of him: an upright citizen and clever gentlemen. Alter the speech of Mr. Cox, Mr. V'. G. iramham introduced J. .'i. ...':: Jf'-li''., t:JO i it'p .".- i1. uri caii i'i1.' r i.ur.iv-j in I ' , iU.-U..'.l to A. Lj. XjN;...: . in1. . p .

His speech was larg est of the three, and coming to ward the last, and the hour grow ing late he did not hold all of the crowd until the end. One or more that heard the speech of Mr. Settle remarked that it was their opinion that the cause would have been better off had he remained away. However, the Republicans were pleased with his speech as a whole, and his utterances were cheered by them. During the speech-making an alarm of fire was sent in and Mr. J. C. Angier, who was on the rostrum, remarked that it was a Democratic false alarm to get the crowd away from the hall. It proved to be a false alarm sent in from the corner of Roxboro and Gray streets, and Mayor Graham offered a reward of $23 for the Information that would lead to the arrest and conviction of the guilty parties. There was a smalt fire out at the new Watts hospital early Wednesday morning. The loss will amount to about $1,000. Quite a lot of lumber and fire wood was consumed and a car load of coal caught and was part ially consumed. j Messrs. Victor S. Bryant and Sidney C. Chambers will speak to-night It Edgemont with the candidates. Saturday night the candidates will be at Holloway station and Mr. Bryant will speak then also, Personals snd Other Hums &l Interest Frans oa? CcrrespHndsnt.
