Durham, June 25, The court
house question, which has agita
ted folks so much, is to be now
in shape for postponement a half0 witness another storm like that
year or more on account of the
disagreement over the site and
inability to please a very discrim
inating public.
The tip is given that, owing to
the unsettled condition of the !
American Tobacco Company's
business, the county will not
rush into a big bonded indebted
ness. Every few days there is
fresh talk of some of the big men
of the company moving away and
that suggests the change of cer
tain business ends of the com
pany. There has been a great
deal of this lately, although those
in authority deny that it means
anything.
Very recently changes were
announced as likely to take place
and it means t!iat Durham gets
a manufacturing conceseion for
the loss of some exporting, This
was done in Oi derto save freight.
The last to Durham is nothing.
But the co ;t house proposition)
may be deferred for that reason
Any serious shaking up of the
American Tobacco Company
would soon result in badly unset

with the preparations for the

legislature having provided $65,
000 in bonds for this purpose.
For the start they will erect two
dormitory buildings of one hun-
drcd canacitv each, one for bovs

which passed over this section
of ti e state last night. He was
entering the front gate of his
boarding hous.e when he was

physician and soon rallied and
will recover.
The corporation commission has
begun the ardnous task of reasses
sing the railroad property in North
Carolina. This worle wilf 'occiipy
several weeks, as;it takes ;-a "great
deal of figuring. It is probable that
the valuation of the railroads i will
be somewhat increased .although
no statement to this e ff ec t
is made by members of the corpo

the county tax assessors seems to
be getting nearly through in many
of the counties. i

This building was erected (where
In writing the news items of
this commanity I can not refrain
from saying a few things founded
ron the Bible. Some days ago I was
impressed by this scripture found
in Prov. 11;30. "He that winneth
souls is wise,"
Where one fails another will suc
ceed. It took four men to brine
one paralylic to Christ. The wise
thing to do is to make an honest
effort to win some to Christ.
If you do notsucceed he will take
care of the effort and not pronou
nce you unwise and foolish and I
belieive you will receive just as
great a blessing as the on) who
does succeed.
To explain this so that I may be
understood. Once a farmer go: in
to one of his boats purposing to
pull it out into the .stream and a
floating mass of ice struck it break
ing it loose from the bank and
carrying it out'into the current. A
neighbor seeing the danger
mounted a horse and with all the
speed possible rod to a village The
people of the town gathered all
the rope they could find and went
out to the bridge and suspended
a line of dangling ropes from thei
bridge across the stream. The
could not tell at just what point the
boat with the farmer would
Dass under. So they put a rope
down every two or three feet a
cross. By and by the'farmer was
seen, wet and cold, standing in
the boat half filled with water drift
ing down the rapid current. When
he saw the ropes dangling within
reach he seized the nearest one
and was drawn up and was saved.
Now one rope might have an
swered the purpose. The pastor
hangs the rope of salvation from
the pulpit and sinners present do
not seem to get near it, bufjf: the
business men -and young men,
women, mothers sisters and wives
will harts: o ut ! ropes- sinners will
certainly be savfd.- - y-
