DURHAM, N. C, May 31, 1907.
All railroads of any import
ance in the state that are af
fected by the new rate are kick
ing, but the Southern will get all
the blame because it was first to
start the ball to rolling.
From reports being published
in many of the papers of the
State it appears that some of the
State officers are not going to
stand for re-election, which will
strengthen the precedent that
they should only serve two terms
For a long time efforts have
been made to get Speaker Can
non to come to North Carolina,
and as he does appear to be
proud of the fact that he is
native of the state we suppose
he came so that he woulb be let
alone.
We regret that Messrs. Ship
man and Sherrill are candidates
for the same position, lor we
would like to vote for them both

being well qualified for the po
sition.
While the merchants of Dur
ham are fighting for cheaper
freight rates-, which they should
have, we see no reasons why
they should not do something
about the price of telephones,
which will now cost business
houses $4 per month and resi
dences $2.50.
The Inter-State Telephone
Company of this city are going
up another notch in the rates.
The Bell telephone people may
be robbers and all that, but one
thing is certain, when they were
here doing business the Inter
State Company charged only a
little more than half what they
are now charging. The directors
claim that they are not making
any money, but do not explain
how it was when they were char
ging such low prices while the
Bell Company were doing busi
ness here.
In some of our exchanges,
notably the Lexington Dispatch
and Statesville Landmark, they ,

For Labor Commissioner.
Following the announcement
that Mr. II. B. Varner would not
be a candidate for re-election to
the office of Commissioner of
Labor and Printing, two candi
dates have announced that they
are in the race for the position,
namely, Meters. John U. Sher
rill, of the Concord Times, and
Etii n. U tm !;
Mr. Varner's assistant for . some
time. Following is from the
Concord Tribune of May 27th:
It is announced that Henry B.
Varner will not be a candidate
for the nomination for Commis
sioner of Labor and Printing,
and we take this time and oppor
tunity to suggest that the proper
thing to do is to nominate and
elect John B. Sherrill to that of-
Lfice. It has been a long time, if
ever, that Carrabus has had a
representation onlthe State ticket
and this is our opportunity, for
we can nominate and elect the
Concord editor. The State could
be searched from border to bor
der and a better equipped man
for this place could not be found.
He has the business qualities de
manded by the office and would
be a pleasing representative of
the publishers and newspaper
craft. While more might be
said, this is sufficient to ask the
publishers of the State to take
up the suggestion and nominate
Sherrill.
Following is from Mr. Ship
man s announcement that he is
in the race for the position:
Mr. Varner announces that he
will not stand for re-election as
Commissioner of Labor and
Printing, and I have decided to
become a candidate for the place,
subject of the action of the
Democratic State Convention.
As you are doubtless aware, I
have already spent nearly three
years' time in familiarizing my
self with the work of the depart
ment, and there are no duties
connected with any feature of
the same that I do not feel per
fectly competent of performing
to the best interest of the people
of the State. I have gone to the
expense of moving my family to
Raleigh and am devoting my en
tire time to the work.
With regard to the suggestion
of the Concord Tribune that Mr.
John B. Sherrill, proprietor "and
editor of The Concord Times,
be nominated and elected Com
missioner of Labor and Printing,
for which Mr. Varner will not be
a candidate again, it is to be said
that Mr. Sherrill is thoroughly
qualified to discharge the duties
of the office and if he wants
should have it. Charlotte Ob-
aerver.

sound of his own footsteps trudging
down Haverstoek hill to do Immediate
goal. ' ."
Yet still the world was kind. A wag
on came creaklug ajt bis heels, slowly
overhauling him and unexpectedly
stopping when It did so. It was green
mountains high with country vege
tables smelling notably !n the clean
night air, and with this sweet whiff
of home and the past there came a
hearty, elderly voice evidently hailing
Tom. . '
"Now, then, young man, If you want
a lift. Joomp oop!"
Tom was not sure what he wanted,
but his feet were sore, the voice liked
him, and up he Jumped. And between
Sarkness and dawn the quiet foot of
the sleeping hill and the half awaken
ed but already noisy purlieus of Tot
tenham Court road the lucky, attrac
tive fellow made another friend. ,
The wagoner was a red faced, red
whiskered, freckle handed fellow, with
a genial, broad, communicative tongue.
Jonathan Kutterfleld was his name,
and he was a Vorfcshireman only re
cently come south, as he said, with a
eigh which left him silent Whereup
on Tom became communicative In his
turn and remarked that he, too. medi
tated a move to India.
"There's the good ship Jean advertis
ed to sail on Monday, and I'm on my
way to the office to see If they've a
bunk left If there Isn't I shall go on
to the docks and try my luck on the
ship herself. I might work my pas
sage out If uot I'll stow away."
"You're that anxious to leave old
Englandr
"I am anxious to make my way."
"Ah, well!" sighed the wagoner.
"I've got a lad o' my own as far away
as you are going. He writes u canny
letters, but dear knows what we'd
give to see him back!"
But there was no end to the good
will of the Yorkshireman. who not on
ly Insisted on paying for hot coffee at
an early stall, but flatly refused to go
about his business until Tom promised
to accompany him to breakfast at Us
conclusion.
Tom's heart rose steadily with the
sun and was singing with brave re
solve when at length the wagoner re
turned. "I doubt I've lieen a long time," said
Butterfietd. "It I very near 6
o'clock."
"Ten past" said Tom, whipping out
the golden nucleus of his future for
tunes, which be had even then been
bugging in his pocket.
Tom tried to back out of the break
fast, tmt it failed. He tried again as
they drove past Fetter lane he could
pay his way in noils buildings now
but this time the wagoner whipped up
his horse and refused to listen.
'Xo, no, said be; "a promise Is a
promise, and I warrant they'll be
pron 1 to see you."
"You mean your wife aiid faml'yl"
said Tom.
"Nay." said ButternVId, "I doubt
you'll not we them there."
"Not at your bouse?" cried Tom.
"It Isn't mine," confessed the other.
"It's my wife's brother's. He drives a
hackney coach, and I use bis stable
every other morning. Me an' my mis
sus live out at Ik'ttdon, end I come In
three nights a week."
"But you mustn't sad iio these peo
ple with me. Let uie got down at
once."
"Mustn't Vi" chuckled the wagoner.
"I'll take the blame, then. We're very
Lear there, and dashed if that Isn't

The hackney coachman was a burly

brown eye. His wif was small and

socks and asked Jim's wife the time.
"rime?" tftild she. "Ilaveu't you a
watch?"
.'"Not I."
"Jonathan told me you'd a gold re
peater." '
Tom remembered the repeater for
the ttrst time since awaking, but the
woman was looking at Lira queerly,
and he had no intention of entering
Into explanations with her, so he sim
ply asked whether Jonathan had gone.
"Many an hour ago. It's 5 o'clock."
"Five!"
"And after."
Tom burst Into apologies, In the
midst of which the woman put on a
shawl and went out He was still
standing Irresolute In his socks, daxed
by his long sleep, when there came a
rattle of wheels outside, and In rushed
Jim with his whip and an evening
newspaper.
"Glad to find you sUil here,, sir J"
cried he. "I want somebody as can
read to rea me a slice out of this 'ere
Globe. It's awful,, sirawful! The
wery gen'lemnn I drove last night!
I've come straight from - Scotlaud
Yard!"
Tom suddenly remembered when and
where he bad seen the other before. It
was overnight on tha box of Blaydes'
hackney coach.
"Who Is the gentleman?"
"Blaydes. It seems, his name Is, or,
rather, was!"
"Was?
"He's dead."
"Dead!"
"Stone dead murdered by a man I
saw as close as I see you now. but
never looked twice at! It's all In the
Globe, they tell me. Bead It out sir;
read it out."

OM ER1CHSEN held out a
steady hand for the Gloln-.
His blood ran too cold for
pnn'iit tremors. The hackney
coachman bad drawn a chair to the
table, planted his elbows In the middle
of the printed cotton cloth ami his hot.
flushed face between his coarse, stroug
hands. Tom sat down at the other
end. He found the paragraph, ran bis
eye from headline to finish and then
read It slowly aloud:
SHOCKING StUUDER AT HAMP

some blunt instrument There can lie no
doubt that the crime was committed with
