THE DURHAM SUN IS
RESOLD,
Recent Price of $2,400 Kai-
sea and O. F. Crowson
Bids Plant In.
The property of the Durham Sun
Publishing company was resold at pub
lic auction by order of Judge Cook Sat
urday afternoon. The purchaser was
O. F. Crowson, of Burlington, former
owner of the Burlington News. The
price paid was $4,000 The sale was con
firmed by Judge Cook and Mr. Crow
son took charge Monday.
The property was sold Wednesday
to R. O. Everett, of Durham for $2.-
240. This bid was raised several times
before the receivers made their report
to the court. In view of the fact that
there were still a number of bidders
interested in the property, Judge Cook
thought the fairest way would be to
to order a resale with the understand
ing that the bidder would take over
the property at once. The crowd went
from the courtroom to the lobby of
the courthouse and the property was
resold. R. W. Haywood, of Richmond
former owner of the Greensboro Tele
gram, was a bidder against Mr. Crow
son and Mr. Everett also bid on the
property. The purchaser assumes a
mortgage indebtedness of $10,000 on
the property, making the purchase
price paid by Mr. Crowson in reality
S14,000.

‘We Find More Than
3000 Overcharges’
(From Leslie’s Weekly.)
The year which we have just entered
will bring notable centennials and semi
centennials of important events and
births On June 18, 1812, Congress
declared war against England. It was
the last of the wars between us and
that country. Committees have been
appointed in the United States, Eng
land and Canada to arrange for the
celebration of the hundred years of
peace between those csuntries Ob*
servanees will cake place in all of
them. Some of these will came in
1912. The most important, however,
will be in the latter part of 1914, for it
was on December 24, 1814, that the
treaty of peace was signed at Ghent,
Belgium. The battle of New Orleans,
in which J ackson overwhelmed Paken
ham, took Dlace on Januarp 8, 1815,
two weeks after the singing of che
peace, but several weeks before the
news of the singing reached here in
the slow-moving sailing vessels of
that day.
During 1912 will arrive the semi
centuries of many important battles
of the Civil War. These include, among
others. Grant’s capture of Fort Henry
on February 6 and Fort Donelson on
February 16; the fight beCNveen the
Monitor and the Merrimac, March 9:
Shiloh and the death of the Confeder
ate leader, Albert Sidney Johnston,
April 6; the capiture of New Orieans
by Farragut and General Benjamin F.
Butler, May, 1; Fair Oaks, May 31;
the seven days’ battles, in June and
July; the second Bull Run, August 29;
South Mountain, September 14; Antie-
tam, September 17, and Frederick
sburg, December 13.
An addition of at least $100,000 will
be made to the endowment fund of
the Watts Hospital by Mr. Geo. W.
Watts, who has let the contract for
the plans for a large apartment house,
the rental from which is to be devoted
to the fund foi the maintenance of
the hospital
The new building to be erected by
Mr. Watts is to be three stories in
height, of pressed brick and stone and
of beautiful architecture. Ten five-
room apartments, making more than
sixty rooms in all. Each ot the five-
room apartments will contain a kitch-
in, dinning room, living room and two
bed rooms, all furnished with gas and
electric fixtures with a gas range in
the kitchen. All of the rooms will be
outside rooms and each apartment
will be provided with a balcony. The
entire building will be heated with
steam, and will be modern in every re
spect.

i Three Tariff Triumphs tor
I Labor.
I
William McKinley has been approv-
j i-igly quoted in the House of Repres-
! entatives within a week; “It must be
conceded that the protective system
has dignified and elevated labor. We
observe its triumphs on every hand.”
The industries having most attention
from the high-tariff policy are steel,
wool and cotton manufacturing. The
history of these tariff schedules will
make up two-thirds of American tariff
history. And we observe their trium
phs in dignifying and elevating labor
on eveiy har.d.
The triumphs are to be seen in
Lawrerce under the high cotton and
woolen tariff, where whole regiments
of soldiers are needed to keep order in
a strike of operatives whose wages
for adult men average $9 a week, and
less than $6 when women and children
are couuted\in.
The triumphs are to be seen under
the high steel tariff, where nearly half
the workers of the Steel Trust are
compelled to labor seventy-two hours
a week, as against less than fifty-six
hours in the same iadustry of free-
trade England.
The triumphs are to be seen in th2
country-wide agitation over the em
ployment of children, whose dwarfing
and stuntiug labor finds its great mar
ket in high-tariff industry.—N.Y. World

facts from the life of a very extraor

has not contented himself with doing
has done many
things well, He was born April 25,
1831, and up to December 31, 1911, the
following account is given of himself:
He has made 170 coffins, married 368
couples, baptized 610 people, attended
540 burials, preached 488 funerals,
helped ordain 32 deacons; ministers to
come under his labor, 5; has served as
pastor 46 years, helped to build three
churches and is now 80 years old.
The Department of Agriculture re
ports that the number of sheep in the
United States decreased a million and
a quarter last year. This authoritative
statement is respectfully directed to
the attention of Senators Smoot, Pen

insist upon construing the encourage-
me.it and protection afforded the sheep

many blessings of the Payne-Aldrich
law.—Va. Pilot.
Shame on Georgia! With a record
of 17 lynchings for 1911, and five fcr

He added that positive instructions

OIL LANDS WITHDRAWN FROM
m\.
Pending the enactment of legislation
for properly disposing of oil and gas
deposits on the public domain, and be
cause it seems desirable to retain cer
tain of these deposits lor use as fuel
by the American Navy, all public lands
known or thought to contain valuable
deposits of oil or gas are withdrawn
from all forms of disposal.
During the fiscal year 1910-1911, on
the recommendation of the United
States G^logical Survey 640,604 acres
of possible oil land in California and
Wyoming were withdrawn from entry,
and 1,232,719 acres in the same States,
shown by field examination to be non
oil lands, wer& restored. All oil lands
in Alaska, comprismg an unknown area
were withdrawn during the year In
the early part of the year the out
standing withdrawals, which had been
made by the Secretary of the Interior,
were ratified, confirmed, and contin
ued in full force and effect by the
President under the act of June 25,
1910.
Just Taiking,
Leading republicans are convinced
that the nomination of Roosevelt to a
third term would bring disaster to
their party. We ar£ convinced that
his election to another term would be
gin the end of constitutional govern
ment in this county. So we heartily
join with our republican contemporar
ies in opposing his nomination, hoping
should that misfortune occur, that
they will make common cause with us
in opposing his election. Hoping, but
but not believing. The Baltimore Am
erican indeed declares that: “Party
lines would be disregarded to a large
degree were the third-term principle
to be made an issue, and that with
out regard to the wishes of that party
managements as such.” But should
the improbable happen and Roosevelt
be placed at the head of the ticket by
the Chicago convention, the odds are
a thousand to one that the next morn
ing’s American would be tooting its
horn among the loudest for four more
years of Teddy the irrespressible, the
incomparable, the invincible,—Va.

Facts
“Let us get down to facts!” ex
claimed Mr. Taft in his Columbus
challenge to the Republican Progres
sive
The facts are not difficult to find in
so far as they relat^ to the Taft Ad-*
ministration and the self-styled Pro
gressive Republicans.
The insurgent movement in the Re
publican party originated in a demand
for tariff revision, and reached its
culmination when Mr. Taft delivered
his absurd Winona speech describing
the Payne-Aldrich act as the best
tariff ever enacted.
The insurgent movement is ending
in a Rooseuelt third-term boom. Most
ot the insurgents are identified either
directly or indirectly with the Roose
velt candidacy- Some of them may
profess to favor La Follette or Cum
mins, but all of them know that the
defeat of Taft in the convention means
Roosevelt’s nomination.
So far as the tariff is concerned
Roosevelt i3 as much of a stand-patter
as Aldrich or Cannon During all the
years he was in the White House he
never lifted a finger to bring about a
reduction of the extortionate Dingley
duties He was the intimate political
associate of Aldrich and Cannon and
he played their tariff game.
Since the Payne-Aldrich bill
passed, Roosevelt has indorsed
Tariff Board scheme gf revision,
in the New York State Convention at
Saratoga in 1910, which he bossed, the
platform declared that “advances in
the cost of living are only the local re
flection of a tendency that is
wide and cannot be truthfully said
be due to the present tariff.”

our previous contest, rem
ember that we have always
done much more than we
promised. We have given
valuable rings, gold watches
and even a handsome rubber

what we have priveously pro
mised, and starting out as
we do with such a grand
