The city of Durham lout one of its oldest and most valued citizens today in the death of Mr. W. R. Cooper, which occurred at 7:43 this morning. Death has seldom removed a more highly esteemed citizen and one who entered into the life and activity of Durham twenty years ago. Few men live and die in this world who have not at least an enemy, but if Willisxm R. Cooper bad one we never heard of it.; He waa charitable, kind and ever in good humor, never talking about others; if be could not say a good word for a man be said nothing. His personality drew to him men of all kinds; it was a pleasure to converse with blip and listen to bia droll humor, which was all his own and harmless. Mr. Cooper was born ln Caswell county 67 years ago. He was twice married. His first marriage was to Miss Mollle James, of Caswell county, who died a short time after the mar riage. From this union one sou, Mr. Edward Cooper, was born. His sec ond marriage was to Miss Nannie Ed wards, of Virginia, and she still sur vives hii No children were born to this last marriage, which has lasted through 22 years .of happy com panionship. ; Mr. Cooper first engaged in busi aes. at Hurdle's mills, in Person county. He was engaged in milling. merchantf tfBM. faKaJufi1 tsat olace and was very successful. He came to Durham about 25 years ago. He was engaged in merchandising for some time, but af :trward. he engaged in the tobacco business. At this busi ness be was very successful and was at one time one of the most prominent business men of the city. Hi. heal h failed ln 1902, and since that time be has lived in retirement. For several years he has been an invalid unable to leave bis home. He has endured fearful and prolonged Buffering, but through it all he retained bia good deposition and kindly humor. Mr. Cooper Joined the First Baptist church about 23 years ago and has been a consistent member since that time. He wa. a good citlien, an ideal father aud husband, and a consecrated Christian man. His only surviving relative, with the exception of hi. wife and aon. 1. one .later who live, in Alamance county. The funeral arrangement, have not been completed. Tbe promoters of the Durham and Danville railroad, a charter for which la in the legislature at the present time, are receiving much en couragement from the landowner, along the proposed route of the new road and from the people of Danville. A letter was received yesterday offering to give the right of way and furnish the cross ties for, a part of the road free of charge if it should be built. The people of Danville are delighted with tbe prospect of hav ing another road. At the present time panville has no ratlroad outlet except tbe Southern, and with the building of tbe new road it is boped Underwood Asks Ways and Means Members to Heel PJIOSDAYNEXTTHEDAY SET Extra Session, or No Kxtra Session, the Democratic Members of tho House Ways and Meana Commit tee Will Proceed to Prepare Way for Tariff Revision.

President Taft has jot been nearly so liberal ln bis distribution of fed eral offices among colored men aa former P-esident Roosevelt; but in the present "ease he promised Vernon', place to Napier several months ago, and would have sent the nomination of the latter to the senate earlier but for the fact that Vernon la said to be poor financially, and It was thought best to give bim a short time to look out tor another Job.

It Is the purpose of tbe house democrat to go ahead In their own way. ful filling their pledg. to the country a they Interpret them, and not bother about what may be done at the senate end of the rapitol. The republican leader have been asked by the democratic leader what they are going to do about fill ing the minority place on the com mittee. The republican have work ed out no plan.
