The annual report of Mr.. w. L. Red
mond, stamp clerk, shows that during
the year 1897, the cash sales for stamps
amounted to S746,020.42. For the same
length of time the export duties on Gig
arettes and tobacco amounted to $512,-
S3156. This makes a grand total of
81, 258, S51.9S. With these facts staring
them in the face why should congress
hesitate a moment in voting a liberal ap-
preparation for the erection of public
building. Durham needs such a build
ing and is entitled to it.

Mr.. G. w. Massey was yesterday elect
ed supervisor for Durham county, to fill
the vacancy occasioned by the resigna-
ton of Rev. George j. Dowell. Mr..

knows the work thoroughly. The board
has been peculiarly fortunate in the
selection of a supervisor. Mr.. Massey
is well fitted by nature, education and
training to discharge the duties of that
position.
