were in imminent danger. The greatest
trouble was In getting water-it had to
be brought at times distance of 200

TWO MORE DEATHS
"a special. from Greensboro last night
says: Miss McGougan, a student at
the State Normal. died this morning of
typhoid fever. She was from Robson
county. Her mother was with her in
her last hours.
Miss Fannie Turner, \the matron at
the Normal. who died yesterday even
ting, OF typhoid fever. had been Ill
about ten days. Miss Turner was from
Hillsboro, and was the niece Of Hon.
Josiah Turner. She was twenty five
years old.
Miss Turner'S death brings great sor-
row to many persons. She was @ no.
BILE and a self-sacriflcing woman. In
sickness and in death she had been
devot ton itself to the Normal-to the
young students under her care. Sine
cared for and nursed the sick until
compelled to cease her labors by the
illness that resulted in her death.
The total number of death from fever
at the Normal is seven.
BIG REVENUE COLLECTIONS.
During the month of November the
internal revenue office in Durham
turned in more money to Uncle Sam
than ever before in its history. The
receipts In cash this month were
S225,1O2.71, or about $4,000 more than
last month, which was the largest
months business in the history of DIR
ham UP to November. The export
business this month was more than
100000, or total of about one-third
Of n million dollars contributed .oUncle
Sans general expenses in one month
by our town. All Of this work Is done
by Collector Rigsbee in in n rented
room and without so much as an assis-
tant. Heretofore when the business
was not SO large the government has
allowed an assistant, but now the COL
lcctor Is required to do al. of the work
himself. 1t Is high time that Congress
was giving Durham the public building
that should come here as matter Of
right. and allow the collector some help.

PROTESTS AGAINST PARDON
Pure Food Interests Aroused by the Will
kins-Butler Application.
Emphatic kilograms Received From
Representatives of the Dairymen
of the Country.

Pure food interests the country over are
being aroused to action to protest against
the granting of the pardon prayed for by
Joseph Wilkins and Howard Butler, who
are now serving sentences in Moyamenstng
prison, Philadelphia, description Of whose
offense and endeavor to escape just punish
ment from it was published in yesterdays s
Evening Star.
Attorney General Griggs has not reached
a conclusion in the matter yet. and. owing
to the Importance of the real question at
issue, it Will probably be some time before
a decision is announced.
Emphatic Expressions.
kilograms are already being received
from representative dairymen IN relation
to the attempt to secure a pardon, and the
following are copies of two sent to Mr..
James F. Oyster of this city. one Of the
vice presidents of the National Dairy
Union. The first is from Charles Y. Knight
of Chicago, secretary of the N. D. w. He
wired:
The pardoning of Joseph Wilkins would
be considered an unfriendly act by the
dairymen of the United States, who have
for years suffered from such frauds as he
and his class have perpetrated. 1t is in
excusable and would certainly be resented
and made political capital of against the
responsible parties by the millions of farm
ers who are now moving on Congress for
more stringent laws to punish such Of
tenders. In the name of the dairymen of
the United States l protest against an act
fraught with such disastrous consequences
to the cause of honesty in commerce in
pure foods"
President Newman's Views.
The other, from John Newman, president
of the board of trade of Elgin, Ill, the
most important butter market in the world,
was as follows:
ITO pardon Wilkins would be against the
best interests Of pure butter and in favor
of the sale Of counterfeits and a hard blow
to the dairy interests of the country"
The originals of these kilograms are in
the possession of the Secretary of Agricul-
ture

MUCH WORK TO BE DONE
Congress Will Get Down to Business When
1t Reassembles.
New Members VIII Press for n River
and Harbor BiII-Public
Buildings.

When Congress reassembles a week from
today the two houses will settle down to
long season of business, which will prob
ably extend far into the summer. There
Is a great deal Of work to be done of a
public character, which will or should alb
sorb the attention of congressman, while,
of course, each representative and senator
las legislation personal to his own inter
ests to look after.
There are large number of new MEM
bers of the House who desire to make a
record for themselves in their first session
and to make strike for their constituents
To this class the river and harbor bill, the
private pension bills, the public building
bills and the miscellaneous appropriation
measures afford opportunities Of the kind
desired.
Rivers and Harbors.
There is a question, however, whether a
river and harbor bill will be framed at this
session. Chairman Burton of the river and
harbor committee has stated as his opfn-
ion that no bill will be made up this year,
but there is a difference of opinion upon
this subject among members of the House
1t remains to be seen whether the pressure
from the new members will not prove SO
strong as to force the committee to report
bill.
1t is true, of course, that a river and
harbor bill is not absolutely essential to
carrying on the work of public improve
mentS- Such q measure would only author
lZe the commencement of new projects.
The sundry civil appropriation bill will
provide for carrying on the work which
has already been undertaken. Estimates
to the amount of S16,G00,uo0 for this pur-
pose have been submitted, for the most
part to carry out contracts heretofore made
and which must be met.
Public Buildings.
In the House about 100 public building
bills have already been introduced, pro-
posing authorization for new buildings 1t
is the opinion of Chairman Mercer that no
bills authorizing new buildings will be re-
ported.
In this connection it is stated that, aside
from the fact that the government now
has large number of unfinished contracts
on hand, more than the supervising archi-
tects office can well handle, the govern
ment is called upon to make increased an
proprfauons for buildings heretofore au-
thor1zed- This necessity arises from the
increase in the price of structural iron and
building material Some buildings hereto
fore authorized by Congress cannot be con-
structed now because the limit of cost fixed
by the bill will not cover the case
