Thk keynotes now sounding indi cate seme lively campaign music for the democrats, and an all "rag time'' programme for the republicans, o Mb and Mrs. O. Y. Stib, with all the little oysters, have arrived in Durham, and yet do new bivalve jokes have been sprung to get them into a etew. o Thb Raleigh Times and the Hen derson Gold Leaf have said kind things about Durham and the Dce ham Daily Sux. Brethren, accept our thanks. o Once in a while we read of the 'Populists." Will some student of ancient history kindly tell us who they were, where they lived, and - what they did ? o Small talk is the loose change of conversation. Intellectual capital lata seldom have much of it, but then they are not as financial capitalists. common as Durham will not bave the pleasure of a visit, or seeing the President in her gates, when he visits North Carolina, but she wishes him mighty well while he is in the State. o It is announced that a Connecli cut man is going to spend his honey moon in a balloon. This is foolish ness. Like the rest of us he will have to come back to terra firma a- gain. o A St. Louis library has ordered the novels of one of the young worn en of that town burned. If the price of coal keeps going up we may have to burn a few novels ourselves this Winter. 9 Wb are glad to see that W. K. Vanderbilt, Jr. , is going to confine his high speed experiments to bis railroad. We recommend that all automobile fiends buy a railroad and follow his example. o Mb. Bbvan says that Representa tive Babcock has crawled so far into his hole on the tariff question that only the tips of his ears are visible Mr. Bryan bis a very comprehen sive way of putting things. . . Judging from the force and vigor of some of President Roosevelt's re cent utterances he must bave been nourishing bis mind on some such strong food as Baxter's Saints' Rest or Johnson's Commentaries. o And - Monroe Rogers arrived in Durham safely, ' and is safe in the jail 1 And Durham is as calm as - May morning ! You don't say so Tell it to Governor Crane, and pub lisb it in Brocton and Boston. ' o . . It is said that Hon. Thomas 'Bracket Reed will not make any political speeches this fall. He has been out of politics so long that it is feared he might not talk to the ' point, but speak out and say just what he thought. A German scientist suggests that inaemuch as mosquitoes are the prey of dragon-flies and as they avoid that insect, the bodies of dead dragon . flies be hung up as scare crows or , scare mosquitoes. Now go out and catch dragon-flies. ' o - Mow that tbe Peter Power suit against the Northern Securities r Company has "petered out" it is announced that another suit will be filed to serve tbe same purpose. We wonder what tbe name of the new "straw plaintiff will be. '.r a " ' , Scientists bave traced tbe Gyp. eies back through Europe into Egypt, thence ioto Syria and as far as Western Hindustan.

Mark Hanna should loom np they wf uld hare to take the back track or swear that they did not know it was loaded. Col. John A. Jotcb and Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox are still quar reling over the authorship of "Laugh and the World Laughs with You," Our knowledge of poetry is rather imited, but we prefer to read it to quarreling over its authorship. Per haps Bacon wrote Shakespeare's plays and Col. Joyce wrote the poem referred to, but as to the lat ter we have very little sympathy with a twenty year squabble over a stick of peppermint candy. o Thb fact that the President and his Cabinet will take the stump this fall, possibly with two exceptions men .who can't make a speech is commended by the republicans and condemned by the democrats. The former says it is "going back to the good old times," and the latter that "it is undignified." The "opposi tion" are harsh enough to say that the Cabinet have been "ordered" out and must obey or resign, and the "opposition" very generally tells the truth. Farmers and Good Roads. In all states that have given state aid for roads, the farmers at first opposed it, but at the present time they are loudest in their demands tor improvement oi tne roads, as they appreciate that they are really benefitted the most because they are continually using the roads in hauling their products to maTket, winch they can do at all seasons of the year over a good road. The saving made to farmers in States where they have good roads is enor-'l mous. 1 he greater portion of the cost of state aid, of course, has to be borne by the cities on account of the greater valuation. l be lowest estimate of the cost of the bad roads tax, that of Prof. Latta, of Perdue University, collat- edfrom the certified experience of practical tarmers in 40 counties of the State of Indiana, amonnta tn 11 cents per aore annually, of fifty dol- lars per square miles of faim area in the United States; $500,000,000, or three times the cost of all tbe common schools in the country, are thus wasted. No Place for Small Boys. Scotland Neck Commonwealth: One has only to make observation! about railroad depots, postoffioes, and other places where the floatingorowds collect, to find explanation for cigar - ette smoking, profanity and general ill behavior amongst the small boys of the t.nwnn and villacrea Tt in on appalling contemplation that small ' - me,. AO B.U. boys of tender age are allowed in some nlaoes to collect almost in droves around such places to listen to the ronch and noir inU hear the profanity of men who en- gage in such talk.

One That Va.iil to Tsll lis Trn:i la Oct Charlotte News: An exeisr e is responsible for the story that a wes tern weekly recently announced that for jast one i-sae it would lay aside all foibles and tell the rlain. un varnished truth in both its editorial and local columns. The exchange faila to give the name of the paper Dot prints an item which it claims to have reproduced from the paper that was suddenly afflicted with a desire to tell the truth. Here ia the item: "Married Miss Sylvia Smith to Mr. Jas. Carnahan last Satur day, at the Baptist parsonage. - The bride is a very ordinary cm about town who doesn't know ' any more than a rabbit about cooking, and never helped her poor mother three days in her life. She is not a beauty by a long shot, and has a gait like a fat duck. The groom is known as an up to date loafer and has been living off bis mother all his life, and don't amount to anything nohow. They will have a tougb time of it, and we withhold congratulations, for we don't believe any good can come from such a. marriage." Along the same line, the Albany Ledger, a country newspaper of Missouri, makes tbe plain, if in elegant, observation that: "It sounds a thundering sight bigger to say Mr. So and So accepted a position than' to say he nearly ran his legs off and told forty lies to get it." Among the Schools. There are now registered at Wake Forest College 243 students. This is a fine number for the opening. The number of students of tbe A. & M. College is now 455, more than half a hundred more than President Winston expeoted this month. The prospects for the opening of St. Mary's is very bright and Rev. T. D. Bratton is having things put in shape for the reception of the students. Prinoipal John E. Ray, of the Institution for the Blind, expects the largest opening in the history of the institution. Although the work will not begin before September 17th, applications from 92 students have already been received. It is expeoted that there will be 300 the first day, and that the total enroll ment will reach about 370. Political Dots.

In aa iso lated log cabin, which for several years has been uninhabited, is to be ween, according to tbe testimony of responsible men and women, a phenomenon never before known in this locality In the past week hundreds bave visited the cabin in daj light and all testify that they have. seen pictnres of departed ones appear in a glass which hangs npon tbe wall as plainly as they ever saw them, in life. As a result the excitement in the neigh borhood is intense and people are coming from miles around to see the strange sight. It appears to be a panoramio ar rangement, for the picture of one person will appear and remain for a few minutes, when is will fade slowly away and another will appear. Among those whose faces bave been recognized are James Rowland, Mrs. Jonas Harr,Mrs. Jennie Glenn, and Mrs. Ella Lee. Some of the visitors to the cabin have tried to engage the spirit pictures in conver sation, but without avail. "Helen said she was tired of having people agree with her about everything. "Well, she's just broken off her engagement with Jack. They had a little disagree ment. Detroit Free Press". Cures Eeasewa and Itching Hut ore Through the Blood Costs Noth to Try It. B. B. B.
