ME DURHAM RECORDER, VOLUME 01. . , DURHAM, N: C, JUNE 2, 1910. NUMBER 55. ' THE CLD HAN STILL THINKS Writes Atcut CaKs Re Corners IsporlanL ACTC-CCILiSTl AKt VERY CARELESS. TIce Icr ca led crsianilng -Talk iic:! Issii-Scfcssls Are Bxlrj t:i Yciing Ken "The Old Man" got the prin ter! ink on bis fingers by talking and it sticks to him. This week he confine! and satisfies himself by writing, not caring to come to town and see things again: "I have been thinking some since I called in to see you and will give you the benefit of some of. the thoughts that have oc curred to me in the quiet of my home;" writes the old man: "Never was there a time when people were so much worked up on the question of good roads buildings, and people in every section of the state are becoming alive to the importance of the question. Of course.people every where have a reason for it; the farmer desiring to have a better way. to get to town with his pro duce and the merchant glad to have him come to buy what he has and fell him something, while the capitalist wants the good roads because he can better get from place to place in his automobile. But whatever is causing the revival 'for good roads is all right so long as we get them and have the opportuni ty of using them, ; , - 'Ub.aJl these .good, roads there must come a mutual un derstanding between people with teams and people that drive automobiles. There must be mu tual consideration or somebody is going to get into trouble. To many people the signal of an automobile means to get out of the way, while to others it means, 'take notice, we want to pass you.' If people that drive horses and walk the roads could appreciate fully the last intent of the driver of an automobile, all parties concerned would get along better. Of coirse some automobilists are careless, but in the main they are not intending any harm. "In every paper now there is something about school closing exercises and college commence ments, and before many days a number of young men who have been in school for years will be turned loose on the world to tell what they have been studying about From observation I be lieve it takes the average grad uate about two years to begin to come to himself and realize what he studied all those books at col lege for. As they come fresh from college they are more to be pitied than censured, for they know so little of the ways of the world and must learn. For my part I would like to begin over and have a good college educa tion to begin life with because I believe it would prove helpful to me in many things. "But there is one thing about the college commencement that always looks a little strange to me, and that U. that the fellows that have spent at least four years in college gets so little at tention during the commence ment exercises. Only about four or five get more than their diplo mas and to sit on the rostrum just during one of the sessions. I always felt that if I spent four years In college and studied hard as moat graduates have to do. I would like an opportunity to have something to say about what I had been learning. However, moat of the boys teem well pleased, and it makes little dif ference what one old duffer thinks. "I think Durham is a good place, but she is sadly in need of several things of a public nature that would be well for her citi zens to consider: More hotel room is badly needed in Durham a id at best there is nothing defi nite in view. Then, too, Durham needs a larger auditorium where conventions, mass meetings and such like could be held. Some one will say, at once that the Academy of Music is such a place. But that is not what I mean. Durham needs anaudi- rium where all kinds of meet ings can be held- The Academy is more like the parlor room in the home, while the auditorium would serve for many thing3 for' which the Academy is not suita ble. Another thing that would prove a blessing to many people that visits Durham is several small parks with seats where strangers may feel free to go and rest in the cool. You don't know what this means unless you get away from home where you know nobody in any of the stores and have no place to sit DEATH OF MRS. CASE. down for a brief spell. Such a park with seats and water would be a great thing for strangers and many of Durham's citizens would find that while down the street with the children a few minutes could be well spent in Buchapiace. "I am still - thinking about many, things that I saw while I was in Durham with you and may write you some more later, but that depends on how I feel." Diet CEC0IATI0N DAT OBSERVED. t roa Ealelgb, State 7:: As everything is going nicely I wi 1 write just a bit of news.

Wife oi Mr. C. H. Case, Jeweler, at Walts Hospital A peculiarly sad death occured at Watt3 hospital last Sunday, when Mrs. Alta Evelyn Potter- Case breathed her last. The im mediate cause of her death was an operation for appendicitis, although Mrs. Case had not been well for two weeks or more. Last Thursday she was carried o Watts hospital for an operation and Mr. Case wrote to her par ents, telling them that, she was getting along as well as -could be expected, as she underwent the operational! right. Before the letter had time to reach them a telegram was sent announcing her death. ' . Before Marriage, less than six months ago, Mrs. Case lived in Malboro. Mass.. and was 18 years of age. She had lived in Durham only six months and during that time had made many friends. The remains was car ried to the old home for inter ment. The sympathy of the en tire community goes to the young husband in this sad hour of his bereavement Deatb oi Kiss Shields. Miss Blanche Shields, a young lady school teacher of the city, died Wednesday morning at Watts hospital after an illness of several weeks with typhoid fever. - Miss Shields had been teaching in the country and at the close of the term went home UL The illness took the usual course and grew more alarming. Sunday of last week she was taken . to the hospital and despite the treat ment there such changes as took Dlace were those that caused anxiety. Sue went into the tell tale stupor yesterday, developed pneumonia and her unequal strength gave way to the burden of ills. She was twenty-three years of age and her mother, Mrs. Ida Shields, is left a widow without her favorite daughter. Miss Shields attended the schools of the city and was known over Durham for a sweetness of Chris tian character. Graves oi Spanish-American Soldiers Covered with Flowers.

Marvin Crutchfield, aged four teen died Tuesday rooming at 7:30 at his home in East Durham. Rheumatism, with which the lad had suffered two years, caus ed his death. Two months ago his father died and his family's double bereavement in that line leaves it in need of a communi ty's sympathy. United la Marriage. Miss Lola Honeycutt and Mr. W. M. Shelton were marrted Tuesday afternoon at 3:30 at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. T. Honeycutt. The ceremony wa3 performed by Rev. W. C. Barrett, of the Second Baptist church.
