RolaRi, Well Known, Severs lit Wind PiPe to Effort' ta Take HIS Life ! Vedscsday. Durlam people, especially the oldest citizens that have known "Bill" Rowland, school teacher, tobacco buyer and all round jol ly man for many : years, were shocked .Wednesday morning when the news began to circu- ; late that U had attempted to end his Ue. ' ; . Mr. Rowland was a character that all who knew him thought such fin attempt would be far from his thoughts. Always jolly and lively, ready for an innocent joke upon his friends's never had it occurred to his friends, that he was tired of life and wanted to end it all. But such seemed to have been the case, and his many friends were almost in credulous when the news waa told them. He was carried to Watts hos- Dital immediately after the at tempt and since that time has been hovering between life and death, hia only sen that resides in Durham, W. B. Rowland, and other relatives, watching by hia bedside. Mr. Rowland was the son of George Rowland, of Granville county, and was born nearly iixty-t'o years ago. -At the age f sixteen, when too" young, he ran off to the war but never saw actual service. He attended Wake Forest college and graduated from that institution, following bis college course by teaching achool and later opening the first school in Durham, the old Academy, which is the only in ' stitution which many Durham ceoDle have ever attended. He married shortly after this exper ince. Miss Virrinia Burns, of Person county.. Four children ' are cow living, - Messrs. Will George. Edwin Rowland, and ' Mrs. John W.-Jones, of Tarboro. Mr. Edwin Rowland will come in on the first train from Boston where he holds a government position, Mrs. Jones arrived yesterday from her home. Mr. George Rowland came over from 'Henderson where he spends most of his time, and Mr. W. B. Rowland, who was senttoRox boro by his father, was summon ed yesterday from that place. ' Mr. Rowland had been many years of his life a tobacco buyer and dealer and was in fact en gaged to the present time in the business as independent buyer. dealt solely in leaf and was oc counted the best of judges of tobacco. . He had not given his his last few months attention to that Industry and was little seen on the market recently. Ue Trial Hored.

Jiidffe Adams ordered that the caae acr?.inst Shepard be moved to Granville county for trial. Thin was brought about by the proposition of securing a jury, which aeemed to be difficult, for what reason, Attorney Lovcn tein, who represented the ne ' gro, aaid woild be apparent. However, Shepard is said to have been displeased at the turn of affairs, ana asked that his at torn y be dismissed. The result will be interesting when the case i cornea to trial. LETTER FROM SECRETARY-TREASURER. 1 Farmers t'nion Ibe Subject of Kr. v , Suit's Epistle. , Seme weeks ago, you hid something to say in regard to the Farmers Educational and Co-operation Union of America, and in behalf of alftrue Far mers' Union men. , I want to thank you for your able editor ial, also the article on "The Pur pose and Aim" of the( Farmers' Union; - As you stated, the Durham County Farmers' Union was or ganized on December 3, 1909, with five chartered locals, the least number that a county can have to form a County Union. Mr. J. Z. Green, the State or- ganizer was present, ana maae an "open" address, but few peo ple outside of Union men were present. Judge Sykes and his court were holding "fort" when the time came for the Farmers to meet and we sat around the stove till the "Crier" adjourned the court Judge Sykes, the city editor of the Herald, the Solicitor of the court walked out. The next day, we read in the Herald the report of the Recorder's court; but not one single line of Mr. Green's speech was reported but (he Farmers' Union is not "kicking" on not having its meetings published in the Herald, but we as subscribers, to our citv'a oaoers had rather read something about "what the far mers are doing" than to read that "Jim Dick" was sentenced to the roads from the Recorder's court for!3(Cdays for retailing. The Farmers' Union is here to stay, and there is no organiza tion that is growing more rapid ty. : We have now 15 Local Unions in the county, and new members are joining at nearly every meet ing. On last . Saturday night, five of the most substantial far mers in this, the north east part of Oak Grove township joined the Union at Redwood so the news comes almost daily that new members are "coming into the Union," and well they should, for if there is a class of people who are in need of a good strong oreanization, the farmer is that class. The Union is not "looking out" for 10 per cent discounts - but any merchant, if he knows enouzh to run a store, knows that the more trade he can get, the better he likes it. and the more he will make and that he had rather sell 10 barrels of flour than one barrel, but in a few years, yea even one year, Far mers Union men are not going to have to buy flour at all, nor meat, meal, not even molasses The Union is fighting no organ ization-the Union is fighting the farmer. We need farmers who will think -farmers who wilt try to meet thuir own supplies, and not go crazy over 8 cent tobacco average and even 15 cent cot ton. Tobacco should average 20 cents per pound for the farmer to "lay by" any money; cotton should bring from 18 to 20 cents per pound, and yet with these Driccs prevailing, the farmer that depends upon tobacco and cotton, and buys his rations at the stores, will have to go to the county home before he dies if he should live long. If any you "fellers" in the city know of any farmers of this class who are any "better off" now than they were Jast year, "trot'em' out, wo want to see them. We hoDe every farmer in the county will join, and he should inin. Our next County Union will be on Saturday 22nd, at H o'clock Let all Union men be present. Very truly, S. M. SUITT, County Secretary-Treasurer. INTEREST STILL GKOWING. MORE WOBK BEING THAN EVER. ook at the Top of the 'Column and See U Your Friend Leads-If not Help Them Along.

He had a hard luck story and. worked several who came forward and informed against him, and perhaps others that did not care to say anything for fear of being placed among the easy class. ' When the trial came off he was discharged for lack of evil dence. - ' '; While in jail Friday night, the keeper says that he attempted to end his life by the use of a pen knife. No serious damage was done and only a scratch on the chest result from the effort. D. W. SORRELL LAWYER . Loughlin Building. Durham, N. C. B-TABUSHDB 2 "The Piano With the Sweet X . Tone." ' ' i , Death of James Milam Hamlin. On Jar uary the 15th, 1910, at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, death invadea our community and took from our midst our brother and highly esteemed friend. James William Hamlin, son of Mrs, Bettie Hamlin, who lives near Push. He had just reached the beauty and promise of young manhood, as he was in cis 21th year when he was taken with that dreaded disease, pneumonia. His friends and loed ones! watched with aching hearts as the disease was reaching its worst state, but with a hope to the last that he would recover. All that love and medicine could do was done for him, but God, who doeth all things well, saw fit to remove him from our midst. I was over to see Willie a short time before he died, but did not ask him about his soul, but his past life had been such that we may know that it was well with him. We shall meet him no more amid the familiar scenes of this earth, but we know whither his whole life tended and where to find him. He was laid to rest in Mt. Zion church yard, where he had been a member for several years, the church loved him, and the Sunday school prized him as no other, for he was always sure to be there. In every cause for the Master he was willing to do his part, the paths of duty were the paths he sought. The funeral services were con ducted by his pastor, Rev. N. C. Yearby, and the large crowd that attended showed the high The Musical Home Is The ' Happiest Home A Sticff Player-Piano keeps the family together make the children content to stay at home entertain visitor afford rec reation to mother and father, and unlet locked, will be en?oyed by the servants when left alone in the house, Sold from Maker to home on easy terms Clas.
