Now we ask the calamity bowler,
that is predicting such terrible things
for the horse business, from what
source he expects to supply the de-
mand for horses from 1893 20 1908.
The law of supply and demand can
not be gotten away from and the
people of christendom never did and
never will abandon the use of the
horse Farmers that sold their horses
and bought bicycles are already dis
posing Of their wheels and buying
back their horses. The young man
cannot take his @best girl" tx church
on a bicycle, and they are utterly
worthless when the roads are not in
the best Of condition, and at the time
the farmer ia usually too busy to ride.
The American farmer as a rule. is a
scarey individual, and, in this case,
has disposed of his surplus horses
and failed to breed his mares, and in
a short time will be buyer to fill
the place of the horses that die. The
man that buys yearlings or breeds Ii.
mares from this time on is the man
who will reap handsome profit !.

The Veteran and the flag.

Late Tuesday night 1 passed the
Shoreham, where the searchlight
shining upon and through the great
flag, made one Of the most beautiful
sights have ever seen. Only a few
people were in the street. Among
them was an elderly man, with the IN
definable military air of the old
soldier. When he saw the flag he
lifted his hat and held it at arms
length. A light breeze huttered the
vivid folds and old glory streamed
wide across the night. The old soldier
still held his hat in his hand. and
with upGfted eyes began softly to
sing, any Country, IT'S Of Thee" He
sang it all; every verse Of it. Nobody
interrupted him. When he had
finished he turned away and marched
down the street as if he heard across
thirtv-hve years of peace the roll of
drums.-Washington Post.

BRIEF NEWS ITEMS.

Mr.. A. T.. Brooks, Of RoXboro, will
address the citizens of Durham in the
courthouse next Friday night at s
o'clock. The Democratic club will
not meet Thursday night, but Friday
night instead. Mr. Brooks is a most
excellent speaker, one of the rising
voung men of the State and the peo-
nle should turn out and hear him.
Tuesday night the Durham Light
Infantry was in regular session. among
other things that came up for thelr
consideration was the election OF
surgeon. Dir. Arch Cheatham was re-
elected by reclamation, accompanied
with much enthusiasm. DIR. Cheatham
is an eminent physician and one OF
Durham's cleverest and most popular
citizens. The manner in which he was
elected was a deserved compliment and
the company did honor to its mem
bership in the selection.
Mai. VIM. A. Guthrie was in the city
a while yesterday morning and left
on the 10:39 train for Raleigh. The
Major seems to have enjoyed and fat
tened on his joint canvass with Cy.
Watson. He is in good health and
wears a bright smile on his face. Evl-
IDENTIFY the distinguished leader of the
Populist party believes something
nice is going to turn up for him. 1t
can't be that he expects to be elected
Governor in a three-cornered race. He
doesn't believe that Watson viii get
out of the race, and his only hope
must come from the retirement of
Russell. For some time the Major has
managed to keep his hand over his
mouth when newspaper men were
about, and therefore has not talked
much. If he has not, like the great
and brilliant statesman Strowd, fallen
into the letter writing business, then
he may be safe. When asked as to his
mission to the capital city, the Major
smiled and smiled and smiled, saying
nothing, but evidently indicating there
was something good for him in that
direction.
