THE J DUMAM :iJEORD . v JUL NjgO VOLUME 91. DURHAM, N. C. MAY 12, 1910. NUMBER 52. OLD FJAN COMES TO TOWN. Bears People Question About .What Ke Saw last Week. INT TO 50XL HKt tllUI. Jljrjircttlid tty Kea 4e. Ucugtit Ir-Gccest-Kisy People lilad to Make Extri tzzz) oa Loans ; . Ml Ccnis Again. The Old Man" wandered into our office wain this week and be gan taking at once, and said plainly he was pleased that we would publish his ramblings. "I have heard of several cases of misconduct of prominent peo ple aince I last came in. Some of them were people that I had no idea were guilty of wrong doing. You see when I told you about certain things tast week I only had one man in mind for some offenses, but people would meet me on the striets and ask me if I referred to certain indivi duals and in almost every in stance I learned that some other person than" those I referred to 'was accused. I really didn't know Quite so many men in Durham were under the shadow of suspi cion, and must say I hope there is little ground for it. It re minds me of what the country editor said when he published that he had seen a certain young man kissing his girl and would publish his name If he did not pay up his subscription at once. The country editor said he had been busy writing receipts for pvpr&l davs and several other voune men had sent word, they I would be in soon. M he buincli of using money and influence and Dosition to further the lust ful desires of men seems to flour ish, and it is bard to point out any one case ftr fear of insulting too many people. "Regarding this loan office business and the exorbitant fees charged, upon investigation I find that many people are willing and even anxious to make loans when they are told that they can make extra interest by so doing. Vi ny. v bless my soul, I learned that re cently a number of unsuspecting men had been stung by letting their money out to be loaned at exorbitant interest. They could nn. of course, kick much, be cause they did not want it known that they had been parties to such transactions. You who sit around and talk with only ihose that desire to leave a good im pression, would be surprised to know the people that are glad of an ooDortunity to lend their money when they are assured that a bonus of anywhere from $25 to $50 wilt be paid if such a loan U made. True, they are scrupulous about getting gilt edge security and the bonus is paid without being put Into the original claim, but just the same they are charging more than the law allows for the use of money, Recently one of these fellow that lend money and charge big fees got behind in his accounts with the people that were using him as a tool and a number o men you would never have sus- , picioned of usury lost mowy. "In going around I we told that the street hacks were taking the place of the houses of i fame. There has been talk putting a stop to the practice o hack drivers hauling women Questionable character, and one hack driver remarked that such was the case he would not care to run a hack because h could not make any money. "Policemer r.ill not tell names, but If they would talk for print -' you could have some rich items In your paper. Of course the POLICEMEN GET A RAISE. Fimneo Are Also Rememberer-First Year ol the Commission. Atubstantial increase in salar ies of police and fire depart ments, and the addition of four new men to the police force, were the recommendations Tues day night of the police and fire commission in the first annual report made to the board of al- aermen. . The board was in special ses sion and received the report of the commission which is just now giving the city the benefit of its first attempt under the commis sion plan oi government, lne first year unquestionably shows up well The aldermen com mended the commissioners for their work and ordered their suggestions be made the law. All of the raises in salaries are worth while. , The first sergeant is paid $75, while the patrolmen and the desk sergeant are to re ceive $70 each. This is from 7 o 110 dollars more than the pa trolling officers have been re ceiving and it was needed. In the fire department there is a raise that has been asked more ban once. The assistant chief of the department is to receive along with the captain of com pany No. 2 and the three drivers, $5 increase in salary and the salaries of the electrician, the stoker and the five regulars, will be increased $10. BIG CELEBRATIONS MAY I0TH Mother's Day was appropriate ly observed in Durham last Sun day. Almost every one wore a white carnation. " The special service of the Y. M. C. A. was well attended. Police and Old Veterans Parade and Hear Addresses. . i MESSRS. GUTHRIE AND GRAHAM SPEAK police are not instru-ted in the pintei regulations to show fa vors and not pull certain parties they catch in various things, such as gambling, but they know they could not convict in many cases that come under their ob-itice to the occasion. Memorial -Day Fittingly Observed In Durham-Large Crowds Witness Parade ol Firemen and Soldiers. Two big events for the people of Durham were pulled off Tues day of this week", May 10th. It was a half holiday with most of the clerks and storekeepers and they turned out to see the crowds and the old vets and "the young vets. ' i ' POLICE AND FIREMEN. The following were in the line of March, which formed at Five Points and marched Down Main street to Roxboro street, Roxboro street to Liberty street, Liberty street to Church street, down Church street to the court house, where there was an inspection of the departments and speaking by the Hon. Paul C. Graham: Headed by a sauadron of mounted police. The East Durham cornet band. Squadron of police on wheels. Police on foot. Chief of fire department. Hose company No. 1. Hose company No. 2. Engine. , Durham Light infantry. . Hook and ladder. THE VETERANS. The cecorasion day exercises of the veterans was markeaT the laying of- a corner-stoK-. heir monumentr '"These ;""Cere- M 1 monies were in cnarge or me Masons and Grand Master Rich ard N. Hackett was present and officiated. The address of the day was delivered by Major W. A. Guthrie, and the crowd pres ent felt that he did ample jus- servalion and u they could it would only be a matter of a short time when they would lose their job if they did, so they see things going on and are power- ess to make Ihe arrests or tell names for ir.ey wouia do pui down as liars and their job would be taken from them. "Among other things I notice he civic association is doing a good work in seeking to have people keep their back yards cleaned up. In this they have the best wishes of all people that desire to prevent diseases and have sightly yards. This work is one of the most commendable of which I know and the ladies at the head, supported by the sanitary department of the city, deserve all the help they can get. "I also find that the secret or dcrsofthe city of Durham are alt on a boom so far as receiving new members and going forward generally is concerned. There is some talk of a movement being started for the erection of a large modern building by several of the leading orders of the city for the purpose of having modern rooms for meeting purposes. The idea proposed is the building of at least a three-story building the first floor to be used for store rooms, the second for club rooms and the third will be hat for the meeting place of the lodges. The idea is a good one and will doubtless be a source of revenue for the lodges that take hold of the matter. Full de veloped plans may be presented in the near future. "Well. I have talked enough for one time, but as I am finding many good things in your town, I expect to remain with you for some time, and may talk to you again next week." ; : InlerSoclety Debate. Last Friday night at Trinity college the annual inter-society debate took place. The query was "Resolved, That the United States adopt a system of Postal Savings Bank. " Affirmative W. S. Alderman and W, I. Ward. Negative H. M. Ratcfiffe and W. A. Cade. The former repre sented the . Columbian society, while the latter upheld the honors of the Hesperian society. After all had had a say and the rejoinders the judges, after considering the speeches, man ner of delivery and debating qualities, decided in favor of the negative. ftCttCttftttttf Ctf ttCKtM tf tf ttf t(ft ttCtdtf ft ESTABUSHED1842 ' "The Piauo With the Sweet Tone.1 V1 X ' .
