SOUVENIR SPOONS.
Something Novel The Hennett
Place Itcauiifully Engraved.
Ilist'io places dot the south, iu
every flection, as a result of the
conni t iome thirty eight years aito,
when tue red fligs of war were fly
ing, and they are now of peculiar
interest to those who participated In
the events of that time. Many cit
ies and towns boast of their historic
places, and Durham is not without
one. It is the "Bennett Place,"
where General Johnson surrendered
to Sherman. This place is now
made more interesting by a beauti
ful souvenir, which has been gotten
up by Durham gentlemen, and it
will recall the memories of that
place to all who are left that were
there in '65, and to the descendants
of the two armies. It is a Bouvenir
spoon of silver with gold bowl, be Hir
ing the North Carolinaooat of arms,
vignette of the American eagle, and
the name of the State in raised let
ters on the handle. In the bowl is
an engraving of the Bennett House,
with the old tree at the corner, a
perfect representation of the place,
K natural as life. Another style of
t lis spoon gives you a scene with
two bouses, the Bennett House be
ing one. These spoons are made in
the beet style of the jewelers' art
and engraved equally as well. They
are made by S. M. Snider, the Dur
ham jeweler, and are for sale at his
store in this city. The prices are
$l,$2and $2 50 and their quality
is guaranteed. Persons wiahiug to
preserve a picture of the historic
"Bennett Place," made famous by
tie war of the states, should get
one, and they are nice presents for
your friends.
I he picture of the place was taken
wUh a kodak by Mr. W. G. Bram-
ham, of this city, and he and Mr.
Snider conceived the idea of repro
ducing the same on these handsome
spoons, which was a happy idea.

LIFE CRUSHED OUT WITH
OUT warning:
Abe Fowler Killed Almost Instant
ly, and Jim Jackson Is
Badly Hurt.
Auotber fatal accident is added to
the list of casualties on the sewer
system work. This makes two lives
that have been lost, and in both in
stances resulted from being caught
by cave-ins.
Abe Fowler, colored, the second
vict:m, was working with a force of
hands in a ditch about fifteen feet
deep, near the residences of B. L.
Duke and bred Roll. Braces were
used on the sides of the ditch, but
these supports gave way and pinned
Fowler in the ditch, crushing bis
life out. His legs were broken and
there were several other serious in
juries. Physicians were summoned, but
the man was beyond all human aid.
Jim JacRson, colored, who 'was
also at work in the ditch, was canght
by the cave-in, and very painfully
injured. He was moved to the Lin.
coin Hospital for care and treat
ment. His injuries were thought to
be internal.
A telephone message from the hos
pital this afternoon states that Jack
son is getting alcng nicely and that
there are chances that he will re
cover.
PUBLIC SCHOOL MATTERS.
Schools in the County Get Thirty
one Weeks.
According to the report of Supt.
C. VV. Massey, of the public schools
in Durham county, there are 9,139
children of Bohool age in this county,
and of this number 6,367 attended
school last year. The average length.
of white schools is 31 weeks., an in
crease of about one week over the
previous year. The superintendent's
report states that it is thought now
that there will be sufficient money
to run the schools the same length
of time next year. Every white
school in the county now has a li
brary, the total number of books be
ing 4,733.
The Board of education has in
augurated another move that will
doubtless become very popular.
They have decided to establish a
central graded or high school in each
township. . One of these has already
been located in Mangum township.
During the coming year it is the pur
pose of the board to locate others.
By the location of such schools,
children can get a higher education
than offered by ordinary publia
schools, and at the same time the
money intended for the education of
the children is not curtailed.
Educational matters in the county
were never in better condition than
at present.
Friday and Saturday Nights.
An old time festival will be given
by Durham Hose Company No. 1,
on Friday and Saturday nights of
this week, at the Parrish Ware
house. The object is to raise the
balance of money necessary to pur
chase uniforms and to pay expenses
to the firemen's tournament. Dur
ham Hose Company No. 2 ve a
festival sometime since.
There will be all the delicacies of
the season, served in the most
tempting manner. The attractions
and amusements will be varied and
interesting. Go out and help the
firemen, and at the same time you
cannot help but enjoy yourself.
Ball of Durham Players.
A game of ball was played at the
George Lyon Park, Monday after
noon, between the Durham League
team and the Durham Semi-Professionals.
The first named won by
a score of 3 to 0.
This afternoon the second game
between the two teams is being

BURIED IN ROCK.
A Singular Tomb Found ia Frank
lin tlounty.
Mr. V. D Latta returned yester
day from a visit through the coun
ties of Johnston, Franklin, Nash and
Wake. He tells us that the crops in
the sections be visited are the finest
be ever saw. The prospects are Irigh
and he found the people in good
spirits.
In Harris township, in Frankliu
county, be saw in a graveyard a re
markable tomb, and one that thou
sands of people have visited. A
solid rock and apparently the only
one in the yard rises up nine feel
above the level of the earth, and is
fifty-pine feet around, and is some
what bowl shaped. It is a natural
rock, and in this is hewn out a re
ceptacle for two bodies. In this
natural tomb reposes the remains of
William Andrew Jeffreys, born Jan
uary 23rd, 1817, and died October,
1845. Mr. Jeffreys had the tomb
prepared himself K and the opening
is closed with a marble slab, bearing
the inscription and sealed up with
'-cement. It is viewed by all visitors
with a great deal of curiosity. It
was Mr. Jeffreys' intention to have
his wife placed there beside him, but
she was not, and is buried in another
part of the cemetery.

ham draws large crowds nightly
Numbers of people from this city
