Winston, president of the Durham Chamber of Commerce. is quoted by the Durham Morning Herald us saying: ‘ I expect that court will adjourn on -Tuesday next so as to give the bar an np portunty to attend this meeting in Ral t igh. Durham as never more in earnest in her life. The union depot is just in front of us. All we need to do is to make our wishes known and to speak out in loud tone. There are a doze’.v towns in North Carolina in the same fix with Dur- | ham as to depot matters. We do not be lie* e that the Southern railway will or can longer resist our just demands; but if we make no effort the opportunity is lost. • Rater on, when the Fuller bill comes before the Senate committee all {the j stores in Durham will be asked to close," said Judge Winston, “and the whole town will constitute itself a committee of the whole to exercise the fundamental right of petitioning our peers for a re- j dress of grievances " * * * Thr Durham press is unanimous in fa vor of the bill. The Durham Sun has written several strong and vigorous edi torials in favor of it. In Saturday's pa per it sail: "In speaking of our union depot the Raleigh News and Observer says: “The cause of Durham is the cause of all ' Th f n you spoke a j jroverb. It is the cause cf all who come and go from this city.” * * * The Durham Herald keeps “everlast- i ingly at it.” Belov, are some of its bright and telling paragraphs: • The Southern Railway officials should } know that we can stand it as long as j they can, and if the thing comes to a ! showdown, the odds are in our favor.” "There is no love in this town for the 1 Southern Railroad, but the course main- j tabled by its officials is responsible for ! it." "Our friends over the State can rest > assured that if there <:s any way to pre vent the Southern patching up its shack of a depot it will be done. It has reach- : cd that point where neither side misses an opportunity of getting in a lick " "We do not blame the Southern Rail- j road from fighting back. It makes it i more interesting.” “The Southern has perhaps forgotten; tho years and years when it did not even i have so much as .a platform! or shed for : the accommodation of its passengers at this town.” "We may not get what we want but IV Southern will have to do this town pood and hard before we cry quits. "Wo still contend that the ownership of Peabody street has nothing to do with Jf it* this belongs to the Southern the' < ourts will give it to !v’r.” Wrshingtor. N. C..

A SMOOTH SWfNDLER ABROAD. This Fellow Works a Mail Box Racket on Un suspecting Housekeepers. (Special to News and Observer.) Greensboro, N. €., Jan. It. —It de veloped here today that an uncommonly ' slick swindler operated in the Western part of town Saturday. He visited private houses and represented to the lady of (hr house that the postoffice department required each house served by carrier to provide a mail receiving box. He paid each house two visits, one in the morn ing and or.? in the afternoon. At the morning visit he left circulars purport ing to give sections # from thr Festal Laws and Regulations requiring the mail boxes to be put up. On the second trip he presented a receipt for payment of five years rental and took in exchange fifty cents from those persons who per j initted themselves to be swindled. One lady, shrewder than the rest, | caught on to his racket and ’phoned for a policofnan. But when the policeman j arrived the mail Fox agrnt had de- I camped. He had inquired the distance to Salisbury, and it is thought possible | that he went there. The name at the j foot of the receipt, which he gives, is \V. B. Hackett, president. The supposed j concern of which Hackett is the sup -1 posed president, is given as the United | States Standard Letter Box and Supply j Company, headquarters at Boston. The agent is described as being young, stout, light, clean shaven, and well dressed in a light suit of clothes.

This is called Catarrh of the Stomach.

She Took Our Vinol with Good Results. WE WANT EVERY ONE TO KNOW ABOUT IT. READ WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY. COME AND SEE US. Wc don’t want any one in this city to drag themselves through life in pain and misery for the want of enough strength to feel well and happy. If you feel listless, without ambition ! and run down, it is a bad sign. You are running grave chances. You are in a condition to be attacked by most any disease. This feeling of is a symptom that your system is generally demoral ized. You should take a tonic. You should take Vinol, which we know and will guarantee will restoro your strength. Following is one case where it did j this. Mrs. T. IT. Boyle, of 56 Chestnut St., West Newton, Mass., says: “Last spring 1 used one bottle of Vinol. At that time I was all run down and sick. I find that it did me lots of good, and by its use my strength came back to me.” Vinol is a delicious preparation, con taining the active curative principles that are found in eod-liver oil, dis solved in a delicate table wine. Vinol acts directly on the stomach, aiding digestion and at the same time creating a healthy appetite. It gives strength and vigor to every organ of the body. We endorse Vinol, and guaran tee its action, and will gladly refund to any one who is not satisfied the money which they paid for it. I.J.
