RAIN INTERFERRED.
Nut a Game Flayed in the State
League.
Not a game was played in either
Durham or Raleigh Thursday after
noon on account of rain. In conse
quence two doubje headers were ar
ranged in the State for .today be
tween Durham and Greensboro at
Durham, and Rileigh and New
Bern at Raleigh. The first game
here was appointed for 3 p. m. , and
the second immediately afterward.
Umpire Pat Dolan is now on the
Durham team as one of the players.
It is thought that the team will be
greatly strengthened within the next
few days, and that Durham will by
far have the strongest team she has
ever had. '
. Called Same Day.
We are told that the republicans
of Durham county have called their
county convention to meet on Satur
day, the 2d day in August the
same day the democratic county
convention is to be held.
.This strikes us as being . a little
singular in view of the fact that it
is well known that Republicans are
doing all in their power to work on
Democrats who are outspoken in
their opposition to probable Demo
cratic nominees, and thus encourage
tneir dissatisfaction. There is a
wood chuck in the wood-pile as sure
as you are born.
If any one knows it to.be a fact
that the Republicans are dickering
witn a ueinoorat, ana it is their
purpose to nominate some Democrat,
or endorse some Democrat, who is
successful in the primarv. he will
lease uotifv this office at once.
ome such whisperings are in the
wind. From what we can under
stand the Republicans in this county
are seeking to play a very bold and
desperate political game.
A little later we will see what we
will see.
Quarterly Meeting.
Rev. Dr. W. II. Moore, Presid
ing Elder of the Durham district, is
