Before Referee J. C. Umstead
there has been in progress a two
days hearing in the case of John
Kuker against the Durham Iron
Wjrks in which there is a suit
I Messrs. Manning and Foushee
' appeared for Mr. Kuker, and
Messrs. Winston and Bryant for
JL t MM!
me company, ine issues are
these: The plaintiff, Mr. Kuker
loaned the company $2,000 and
his son, W. R. Kuker, went into
the business as treasurer. The
father went upon his required
bond of $5,000. Other things
coming up the company refused
to pay the $2,000.
It set up a counter claim of
$5,590, alleging that Kuker as
secretary had paid unauthorized
salaries, had dealt in iron and his
business methods had been such
as to justify their claiming of
45,590.
The case will come up next
week and the hearing through
these three days is for the pur
pose of getting at the matter
for presentable shape before the
civil term of court.

County School Hatters.
At the recent meeting of the
board of education for Durham
county, three important matters
were settled. The establishmeh
of the summer school at Trinity
the addition of three acres
land for the Glenn High school
and the time for the closing
Durham township and county
schools.
The summer school will begin
June 15 and will be held in the
buildings of Trinity college. The
term will last until June 26 and
the county will bear every ex
pense. Superintendent C. W.
Massey was authorized to pro
cure the services of competen
t .
teacners and to complete a pro
gramme for thp term. This is
eepecially for Durham teachers.
The board passed an order for
three acres to be added to the
grounds now reserved for the
Glenn school in Glenn district
No. 10, Durham township. This
makes five acres for this high
school and the lot is in an excel
lent place. Messrs. Massey and
Sorrell were appointed a commit
tee to draw up plans for theerec
tionof a new building and the
remodeling of .the old ones. The
new school house is in Glenn dis
trict and Redwood No. 3. White
grove township has one which is
to be remodeled.
The time for the close of the
county schools outside Durham
township was named as Apri
17. The schools in Durham
township will end may 15. AI
of the schools in Durham town
ship with an average attendance
of less than fifteen pupils daily.
will be ordered closed April 1
along with the other schools of
the county.
Since Durham county is proba
lly the richest and furnishes the
bngest terms of all the counties
in the state, the jieople must be
interested to know the workings
of the educational machinery of
Durham and how finely the af-
airs are conducted under Super
intendent Massey and Chairman
Sorrell.
Ko Trace ct Patients R'bo Escaped.
Morganton, March 3. -At this
hour, 9 o'clock to-night, no defi
nite information of the where
abouts of the four male patients
who escaped from the Western
State Hospital here last night
lias reached the hospital authori
ties. The posse of ten men sent
out last night had a fruitless
quest and the warnings sent out
o surroundiding towns have de
veloped nothing tangible. The
hospital authorities have been
unremitting in their vigilance
and will continue to put forth ev
ery effort to apprehend the miss
ing patients.
it is Deiieved that their recap-

Party Harmony.
Some of the Democratic papers
of the State, realizing the danger
to the party that lies in division,
are clamoring for harmony, for
a closing of the ranks, for drop
ping the words, "conservative"
and "radical." This" appeal
sound3 well and comes, no doubt
in most instances, from a very
commendable desire for utilmate
party success, But when we can
make a grave mistake at this
at this point by overlooking the
fact that the thing most to be
desired is party union when the
real struggle is upon us, and that
the extent of such harmony de
pends largely upon the ideas and
purposes in which the individual
voters are asked-to unite. It is
the belief of perhaps a majority
of Democrats that the full voting
strength of the party can be giv
en only to conservative princi
ples and candidates. Whatever
fight those who believe this make
for the faith that be in them, is
made because of their desire that
there be the greatest possible
harmony m our day of need.
Pre-convention discussion should
be open and fearless, and in
point of fact, in a system of gov
ernment through parties, such
contest of ideas is to be desired.
It is necessary not only to find
what the will of the majority is,
ouiaisoto mane that will one
that commends itself to the lar
gest number of citizens. This
cry ior peace is somewhat pre
mature. It is admitted that what
ever contest for control there i
within the party should be ir
good spirit and without the bit
terness that often alienates the
defeated "faction, but until the
convention has spoken it is not
only the right but also the duty
of every party man to express
his judgment as to policies and
candidates. W e will do well to
listen to the plea for peace inso
far as that term means friendli
ness and fairness of intra-party
debate. But no man who de
sires the success of the Demo
cratic party should seek to pre
vent the fullest and freest dis
cussion of policies and candi
dates until the convention has
settled such questisns. But to
come more directly to the point,
et every man who believes that
the welfare of the State depends
upon continued Demicratic con
trol of its affairs, and that the
party should be conservative and
constructive, be very diligent in
his work that only delegates be
sent to the convention who de
sire that such spirit and purpose
find expression both in platform
and nomination of candidates.
Charlotte Observer.
Political Cltterncss.
Messrs. Kitchin and Craig met
in Wadesboro on the 22d. and
had a rather personal discussion
of the claims that each of these
gentlemen, according to his view
of the matter, has upon the office
to which he aspires; Mr. Ashley
iorne, not being a trained de
bater, declined to appear in per
son, but sent a letter. The three
gentleman who are seeking the
nomination are good and worthy
citizens. They are clean, up
right, honest and honorable men;
but we are sure the meeting in
Wadesboro added nothing to the
strength or popularity of either,
and lowered the tone of the can
vass for the highest honor the
people can bestow. We are glad
to see that Mr. Craig is opposed
o any more "debates" between
he candidates, and we hope Mr.
Kitchin feels the tame way about
t. Already the spirit that has
developed among the foolish
riends of the candidates U war
Jiiig titter fruit. iVroiihlitica J
are indulged in that do not at al
comfort with the dignity of the
office, and the danger is that be
tore-' toe convention meets to
name anybody, the air will be
filled with vituperation and
abuse. If the newspapers would
steadfastly refuse to open their
columns to this personal war
fare, and compel correspondents
to discuss principles rather than
men, they would perform a val
uable service to the State. A
campaign between candidates in
opposite parties, that is conduct
ed in a bitter and personal spirit
is always deplorable; much more
a campaign among members of
the same political faith. The
outlook this year from a politi
cal point of view is. not reassur
ing. In State and Nation the
feeling among the different can-
didatesjand their friends is quite
unbrotherly. It is to be hoped
this spirit will not growlas the
weather warms. Charity and
Children.
' 170 Children Perish.
Cleveland, O., March 4.
Penned in narrow hallways,
jammed up against doors that
only opened inward, between 160
and 170 children in the suburb of
North Collinwood to-day were
killed by fire, by smoke, and be
neatb the grinding heels of their
panic-stricken playmates.
The awful traged occurred
this morning in the public school
of North Collinwood, 10 miles
east of this city. At 10 o'clock
to-night 165 corpses were in the
morgue at Collinwood, six child
ren were still unaccounted for
and all the hospitals and houses
for two miles around contained
numbers of children, some fatal
ly and many less seriously in
jured.
All of the victims were be
tween 6 and 15 years. The school
contained between 310 and :
pupils, and of the entire number
only about eighty are known to
have left the builning unhurt. It
will be Several days before the
exact number of killed is known
as the ruins may still contain
other bodies, and the list of fa
talities may be increased
by a number of deaths among
the children who are now
ying in the hospitals hovering
between life and death.
Tne schoolhouse was of brick,
two stories and an attic in height.
The number of pupils was more
than normally large, and the
smaller children had been placed
in the upper part of the building.
There was but one fire escape and
that was in the rear of the build
ing. There were two stairways,
one leading to a door in front,
and the other to a door in the
rear. Both of these doors open
ed inward, and it is claimed the
rear door was locked as well.
