PAUL c. GRAHAM
A Prominent Member of the
Durham Bar.
YOUNG AND AMBITIOUS.
He Bids Fair to Become One of the Leaders Of
the Law Profession in the Tar Heel
State.

In prosecuting the work of the write
M of community nothing gives us
more pleasure than to make special
mention Of young men Of enterprise
and ability who are using their talent
in manner that bespeaks well for the
noble professions they represent, and
in the above young man Durham is to
be congratulated for having one such
as he among its honorable and distin-
guished bar.
Paul G. Graham was born on Deem
Der >. 1869, at IIillsboro, the grand old
county seat Of Orange county he IS
son of John w. Graham, who is at
the present the most prominent lawyer
Of Hillsboro, and the senior member
Of the law firm of Graham & Graham,
orr subject being the junior member.
He is a grandson Of Ex-senator VIM.
A. Graham. and on his mothers side
is descendant of Thos. Ruftln, who
was for many years chief Justice OF the
North Carolina Supreme Court.
After receiving his preparatory edu-
cation by attendance at the Raleigh
Male Academy young Graham entered
the University Of North Carolina, from
which institution he graduated in 1871,
taking the degree of Phi. Il.
Subsequently he returned to the Uni
versty where he studied law under
those able tutors of that Institution, who
were none other than DIR. Manning and
Judge James II. Shepherd. In Septem-
Der, 1892, he was admitted to the bar
and at once began the active practice
of his chosen profession by returning to
IIillsboro and associating himself with
his father Hon. John w. Graham, un-
der the firm name of Graham q Gra-
ham, He continued his practice there
until February, 1885, when he removed
to Oxford to take charge of the office
and practice of Judge A. w Graham,
who had been appointed to the Superior
Court bench.
He remained at Oxford until January
/, 1897, the entire time of which the
firm of Graham q Graham had been
continued as first incepted, but which
was changed upon our subjects removal
from Oxford to Durham, when it be-
came known as Graham Green &
Graham, the late Fred A. Green being
the other member Of the firm, and
which firm continued until the death Of
Mr.. Green in October, 1898, when it
was changed to it's former and present
name, that of Graham q Graham.
Paul G. Graham is an ardent Demo-
crat, and as such has served the party
most faithfully as chairman of the
executive committee for the fifth judi
cial district. He has always taken an
active part in the campaigns, but has
never sought an office of any kind
In conclusion the writer would say
that this gentleman is one of the most
promising lawyers of this section, and
in coming years we viii look for his
name in the front rank of the North
Carolina bar.

Straw Hats.

To wear with summer gowns of light
color there are most attractive hats of
yellow straw trimmed with bright flow
FRS. Some of these are in toque shape;
others are broader, while others again
are a little on the poke bonnet order,
and are fastened under the chin with
strings either of tulle or ribbon. This
matter of bonnet strings is serious
one to recommend rashly to the world
at large. To some faces there is moth
ing 50 becoming rs the strings, while,
on the other hand, nothing can be more
unbecoming: it is curious what diff
ference ii makes. The strings on these
large poke-bonnets are put quite far
back, and, as rule. are of soft tulle or
chiffon, tying under the chin in soft
bow, but with no long ends. Older
women who always wear the bonnet
strings have the narrow ones of black
velvet or black satin.-Harper's Bazaar.

THE TARANTULA HAWK,
A Wasp That Terrifics the Wicked
Female TarantuIa and
Eats Her Up.

Low down on the Rio Grande river"
said man from Texas, where the
sands are heated almost red hot with
tho sun, there grow the biggest cent?
pcdes, the biggest rattlesnakes and big
gest tarantulas in the world. If you
can look at one of these tarantulas when
he is pinned fast to a board with the
naturalist's thin steel pin, and you are
sure that he is good and dead and can
not spring at you and shoot his poison
into you, he forms an interesting sub
ject to study. They are horrible-look-
ing hairy things, with eight legs and
eight eyes. Their colors are dark
brown and black. The female taran-
tula is said to be tickle spouse and
to have a summary way, all her own,
of getting rid of her consort when she
is tired of him. She wooes and weds
all right, assumes the entire care and
support of the young family. The first
matrimonial jar she has she turns to
and kills her husband. Not content
with killing him, she eats him.
THE female is the larger and strong
er of the two; they are simply gigan-
tic spiders. L have seen those that
measured six inches between the
stretch of their legs. They are the ter
ror of man and beast. But there is one
little animal of the insect family that
wicked Ms. Tarantula stands in as
much dread of as man stands in dread
of her, and that is a big wasp that in
Texas.is known by the name of the tar
antula hawk. The tarantula hawk has
an exceedingly bad opinion of the
tarantula. 1t will fly around over the
head of the tarantula, make a light
ning-like dive down, get good clutch
of the monster spider, fly away home
with him, then all the tarantula hawk
family sit down to sup.
The tarantula hawk will not hurt
men. On the contrary it is a blessing
and you never hear of a western man
harming one of them. 1t is said that
these Rio Grande cattle rangers are
indebted for the tarantula hawk to an
old New England professor, who, while
down in that country in pursuit of his
studies as a naturalist, was stung by
one of these monster spiders and near
ly died, and would certainly have died
had it not been for the whisky flask
of his guide. In that country where
rattlesnakes, tarantulas and centipedes
are so big and plentiful, no rancher
leaves his house without his whisky
flask. Shortly after the old professor
left that part of the country, the
rancher received small box of these
tarantula hawks with instructions what
to do with them. He turned the big
wasps loose, they increased and multi
piled and now they are holding their
own against their enemy, the taran-

1t Wasn't Much in Size but the Value
of 1t Astonished the Hotel

A quet-looking, smooth shaver man. with

on the counter. The package was about

angular block of $40 bills, packed as tight as

strongly tempting. Its tremendous poten-
