WITHOUT JHE PRIMARY
Some of the (Candidates Are

IIB. GILES' TIME SOON OUT
The Interest of the Democrats of This
District Are Centered on the Ap
pointment Tor me uurnarn
Postoffice.
It now looks like it will be up tcl
Major Charles M. Stedman to settle
jthe postoffice contest without the aid
of a primary to give him a detailed
idea of the wishes of the majority of
the people of the community about
the next 'bcjs cf the federal building
' in Durham. The primary idea came
pretty late in the campaign, so late in
fact that there was never a great deal
of chance cf its being taken up unless
all of the candidates wished the mat
ter settled in this way.
It has been promised that the ap
pointment of the next postmaster
would be made in time for the demo
crat to take over the reins of office
by the time the term of Mr. J. A.
Giles expired, but at the present time
ther is not the slightest public indi
cation that Congressman Stedman nas
made up his mind as to w hich of the
four candidate "will receive the plum.
To them all lie has promised that he
(will carefully consider their applica
tion and look into the endorsements!
pt all w due diligence.
Consequently today, so far as the
(public knows, the contest is just about
where it was six months ago. If the
major iris decided which of the can
didates to appoint he has either not
told any of his frienos or they are
k ring a tight mouth about the
matter.
There has been some suggestion
that the appointment would not foe
made till after the congressional con
vention, which will nominate the next
congressman from the fifth district,
whether or not this will be the pro
gram is not known, but there will be
little cause for delaying the appoint
ment, though of course that will be
the privilege of the congressman
should be so desire.
Had there been other candidates for
the congressional honors from the
fifth district th epolitical reasons
would have been enough to have
caused the major to hold off the ap
pointment till it was settled whici.
man should represent the district in
the next congress. It would not ibe a
very politic thing to do to appoint the
postmaster of Durham in the face of
Opposition that might develop in the
congressional convention Ibecauet
Durham holds a ibig vote in that con
vention. Since, however, there will
fce no opposition to the candidacy o.
the major, there will be no political
reason for his holding off the appoint-
fcnent.
Without the aid of inside informa
' jUon which may or may not be at the
Command of the candidates or theii
campaign managers,, it is evident that
the real contest will ,be between Mr
Lun&ford and Mr. Markham. Should
a condition arise whereby it would be
impossible for the major to decide on
either of these two candidates, whc
would come out ahead in a primary
were it held, there is a chance ioi
either Mr. Robinson or Mr. Tomlinson.
Xow as to which of the two leading
candidates hold the better hand with
the major, with the people of the com
munity though ouds could be secured
on one of the candidates were it put
up to a primary or with the crowo
that is having a say in the dealing
out of federal patronage in North
Carolina, it seems impossible to say.
Who will be the next postmaster
deserves just as big an interrogation
mark today as it did a year ago.

SUNDAY SCHOOL'S GIFT.
Gave Much Money for Rebuilding the
Church.
One of the most notable examples
In giving in the history of North Car
olina Sunday schools was that of
Edgemont Baptist Sunday school,
when on last Sunday the two hundred
and forty-seven members present
gave the large amount of $1,318.03.
The occasion was "Church Building
Day." and some weeks ago the teach
ers and officers asked the school to
contribute on that day $1,000 toward
the building of the new church house,
which is soon to be begun. The mem
bers of the various classes took hold
cf the Idea with intense eniuuslasrii
and set to work in earnest to make
the day a success, with the result as
just stated.
The pastor. Rev. Charles C. Smith,
and the building committee of the
church, are getting ready for work on
the church to begin about June first,
and the work will go forward as rap
idly as funds will admit.
When completed the building will
be one of whici Durham may well feel
I roud sad will greatly improve the
sppearanc of that section in which it
