DURHAM. N. C, May 19, 1910
All INTERESTING PERIOD.
When the waters of a political
campaign begins to rise there
is much talk that is not printed
and many interesting things
never reach the public ear, and
as we have a little space at our
disposal, we will mention a few
in the following paragraphs:
In the first place people are
saying all sorts of things because
the new appointee for the post-
mastership failed to pay his poll
tax this year, sotne saying that
he did so on purpose and others
that he just forgot in the rush
of other matters to look after
this important end of the game.
, In the second place the Re
publican camp is divided upon
the appointment of Mr. Giles as
postmaster and they are saying
that the end of the matter is net
in sight. .
There are people talking about
the ring rule of Wake county
and saying that what Raleigh
and Wake people have found is
what Durham is keeping under
cover, that the affairs of the
county are not administered as
they should and that some of the
county officers are not attending
to their duties as they should,
and if the matter was thorough
ly gone into a bad condition of
affairs would be revealed.
There is talk going on that, if
true, would revealed many things
about county affairs that people
Anav1Tif ViinLr la nil ft rrVi f
Figures are in course of prepara
tion that will reveal many things
when the proper time comes.
This is indeed an interesting
perion for people that are lock
ing for something to happen
that will be news to-the public
and before many weeks, if what
is intimated is found to be the
true conditions, there will be a
more interesting occasion.
It was left to a Durham minis
ter to call attention to the fact
that the city aldermen were los
ing money on the new - Academy
of Music, or really getting bare
ly more than the light and fuel
bill for the rent of this magnifi
' cent building which it erected
and furnished at great cost,
thereby placing the market
house in an out-of-the-way place
and the rest of us will have to
fall in line and say amen.
Many a good man has gone
astray because he was not called
down in the beginning by the
proper authorities, and the ex
cuse of the authorities in many
cases has been that they are
afraid it will hurt the party.
We should not jump at con
clusions about serious matters.
Justice to all parties concerned
demands that all the information
obtainable be brought out re
garding the killing of the negro
by a policeman last Saturday
night. No one wants the matter
thoroughly investigated more
than the officer that did the shoot
ing, because for his protection all
the facts will form a strong wall.
Mr. Cobb has made a good po
liceman and mere idle talk should
not be allowed to lodxe in the
minds of any regarding his ac
tion. The newspapers of the State
have been good to Dr. Kilgo in
laying nice things about him
during the past, few days. In
fact most of them seem to be
lieve that the man elected Bishop
is not the same that was elected
president of Trinity college many
..lyrsrs - hU fxrdkrce having
. i taught iri m many lessors re had
not learned at that- time. May
his administration. as Bishop' be
a peaceful as has been his con
nection with Trinity College dur
ing the past few years.

IsIercMIng figures.
In the course of his sermon
last Sunday Rev. E. R. Leyburn,
pastor of the First Presbyterian
church, presented some interest
ing figures to his congregation.
He was speaking of the fact that
the city erected and furnished
lights and fuel for the Academy
of Music, not to mention the fact
that building was furnished in
every other way, and received
very little more rent than light
ing and fuel bill. The figures
he used, which were secured
from city clerk Woodward,
showed that for the last seven
months the city has received in
rent3 for the Academy $991.62
and had paid for lights and fuel
$791.50.
This Showing was made in re
ference to the fact that the city
owns a building erected from
public money and the only thing
of a ' public nature, such as
graded school excer: rises, public
meetings, etc., had to be paid
far at the full rate, and yet the
management could place in there
a cheap vaudeville show at prac
tically no cost.
Clerks in the freight office of
the N. & W. railway offices have
