To hear ligitimate publishers
kicking about any change in the
postoffice department regarding
the second clasa privilege sounds
rather starnge. The fact that
publishers cand send their mail
at the exceeding low rate as now
prevails only anables them to
charge less for their paper, and
if the rate is advanced, we won
der how many publishers would
continue to send at the same
price, or lose one cent by paying
the extra postage. In fact, from
our limited knowledge of the
postoflke department, we believe
firmly that they will not be so
radical and make it so hard that
publishers that only mail papers
to fully paid subscribers will suf
fer. There are many so-called
farm and story papers that could
not afford to buy subscribers, but
the publishers that boast of large
circulations that are sent broad
cast, will not' be accorded the
privilege of letting the poctoflice
department pay for thir mail.
There are few people tUt are at
the head of papers that btlieve
in paying their way uthey o
that will kick if the govemmrnt
desires to get cost of carry!. j

DURHAM CIVIL COURT OPENS
Third Case oUMrs. Ocla Thomas fais
Throngs.
MAKY OTHER CASES GIF THE DOT.
Judge Biggs Holds Civil Term and
v Dispatches Business Hearing
" ot Casss Very 'fciiicus.
The beginning of a two weeks
term of Durham superior court
for the trial of civil actions, was
begun last Monday morning.
Judge J, C. Biggs presided and
much business was done for the
first few days. Many cases that
have been on the docket for some
time were disposed of.
Among the cases of interest to
Durham people was that of Mrs.
Oeta D. Thomas, in which she
was .suing for damages on ac
count of her goods havinj been
attached when she left Durriam
to spend some time in Baltimore.
The case settled, or rather non
suited, was - the one against
Charles E. Jourdan. There are
other cases of Mrs. Thomas
against others for the .same cause
that will be tried later in the
term. The case of Copeland vs
Fcwler was given a hearing ar d
the former lost. This case has
attracted , considerable atter.ti5n
owing to the number of times it
has, been heard.4 It "is a case
where a I.orse.is the contention
ahd other considerations are aired
in connection with the horse.
The case that attracted "some
attention was the Texas bank vs
B. L. Duke. The Texas bank
holds note3 given by Mr. Duke
to Alice Webb and Mr. Duke is
resisting payment: The signa
ture to the notes is not denied,
but it is claimed that he was not
in mental condition to sign pa
pers at the time these were exe
cuted. .
-Ki-BeET" Jcln.1 SHIl Open.
Fayetteville. Jan. 23. The
near-beer dealt rs of this city,,
who were formerly ordered by
Sheriff Watson to close their pa
loons which he declared were
made illegafby tre special Cum
berland prohibition law, were to
day granted a reprieve until
noon, the sheriff being later ad
vised by his attorney not to pro
ceed against the dealers until ob
taining a warrant charging them
with the sale of malted or other
liquors. Tho two near-beer es
tablishments are still doing busi
ness, therefore, both factions ari
now marking time.
The members of the bar of
this city seem to be divided over
the legal question involved.
Some are of the opinion that the
sheriff will be compelled to issue
State and county license to the
dealers, while others think that
a test case in the court might
bring out a new issue by which
the sale of near-beer may be pro
hibited. Sheriff Watson declares
he wilTnot issue license until or
dered by the court to do so.

Statesville, Jan. 25.-Whi!e
there are only two cases of small
pox In the countythese cases
are in the vicinity of Mount
Mourne, near the Mecklenburg
line-and none in Statesville,
both the city and county authori
ties have deemed it wise to take
precautions before the disease,
which is prevalent in other coun
ties, gets a hold in Iredell and
Statesville, and the city alder
men and county commissioners
have accordingly ordained com
pulsory vaccination in all cases
where persons have not been
successfully vaccinated in the
l ast. The .action was taken on
' d ad vii:e of the health officers.
