~..... DURHAM's TWO NEEDS.

The Durham Sun, always alert to adj
vance the interests Of the progressive city
in which it is published, has put two i'm
portant needs of that city in few words,
and keeps them standing at the head of
the editorial column in black letters:
The city. of Durham, for its size and
population, pays to the United States
more revenue taxes than any other
city in the United States and has the
poorest accommodations for its reve-
nue. office and its postoffice.
Durham, for its size and population
pays more money ito railroads than any
other city or town in North Carolina, and
has no railroad passenger depot worthy
OF the name of passenger depot
How long must these things be?'
1t will be observed that these are two
needs which Durham itself cannot supply.
Durham needed excellent graded school
buildings and apparatus and it supplied
them so that no city in the South has
better public schools. 1t needed a pub
lie library, and without waiting for Mr..
/
built a model public library building and
filled its shelves with the best books.
1t needed an elegant hotel, and gener-
Gus, philosophical citizen built it as an
ornament to the city. 1t needed a public
hospital and a generous citizen built one
at his own expense. 1t needed and wished
4
one Of its generous citizens has given
S500a00 to furnish it equipment and APP
paratus. 1t needed musical and art
school for ladies, and a generous citizen
built it, 1t needed a modern market house
apd auditorium, and the city government
-%ill build it. 1t needed commodious and
modern churches, and its church going
Christian citizens have built them. In a
word, whatever, Durham, has needed to
make it "a great city, that it could do for
itself, it has done.
Nothing has been done for it by the
government to which it pays such large
- taxes. or by the railroads to which it
pays tllUuSduuS VI uOIldTS IOT freight anu
passenger service. 1t is entitled to first
class Federal government building and
the entire North Carolina delegation in
Congress ought to unite their efforts to Sc
cure 100000 appropriation for that
purpose sat the coming session of Con-
gre SIS. If the railroads longer refuse to
give Durham a suitable, modern union
depot, its citizens should, as one man,
demand, Of the Corporation Commission an
order requiring them to build Durham a
depot in keeping with its large volume OF
business.
The Sun is starting the ball in the right
way. and il Durham will show it's de-
termination in this matter as in other
tbrgs. the day will not be far distant
when it will have a postoffice and union
passenger depot that will rank with the
Carolina Hotel, the Durham National
Bank, the Public Library, Watts Hospital
Trinity College, it's factories, school and
business buildings.

The New York Journal makes the
point that there are more negroes in this
country than there was population in
1920 and that if the white people will
not give the negro employment except
as menials, then the negroes should
make employment for themselves and
among themselves. Any negro who can
get forty acres and mule can be indie.

The AshevilIe Citizen says that the
severe injury to the Cranberry Mar
row Guage road, has seriously crippled
big lumber company operating in
Yancey and Mitchell counties and hav-
ing large interests involved through
out that territory The company is now
hauling its lumber through the noun
tains, distance of from so to so miles.
and loading it at Alexander, ten miles
north of Asheville. 1t is estimated that
eight million feet of lumber will be
handled in this way. One hundred and
fifty wagons are in operation.
The Asheville Citizen reports that
other capitalists are at work trying to
finance the Black Diamond. railroad.
Sensational railroad rumors have
been current in Asheville today" says
the Asheville citizen.
THE reports if true mean a new rail-
road for western North Carolina.
1.-The proposed route comes within a
radius of thirty miles of Asheville,
crossing the Haywood county line just
above Waynesville at Balsam. 1t
traverses the States of Ohio, Kentucky,
Tennessee and the Carolinas to the sea
coast. f.
1.-The route is the same that was sur
yeyed several years ago for the pro-
posed Ohio, Tennessee and Carolina
Railway company and runs through
some very rich and undeveloped re-
gions of this section.
''It is considered in railroad circles a
very significant fact that the proposed
road is being agitated again when it
was so suddenly dropped when the
question of National park in the
mountains of western North Carolina
was first discussed.
1T is said on good authority that the
promoters of the road are among the
prime movers in the National park
movement as the survey passes
through this plateau. This road would
afford an outlet to the park and it is
estimated by conservative railroad men
that travel would be increased 200 per
cent. This statement is confirmed by
one of the owners of the proposed park
lands, who passed through Asheville a
Jews days ago from Washington en-
route to the Sapphire country"

An official of the Carolina and North

board Air Line has purchased that road.
He also says that as soon as the rails
can be secured the road will be made a
broad guage.

CASE OF N NEGRO.
Several Persons Who Thought He WINS
Dead Missed Church Service.

Probably a dozen couples missed church
because Of an incident at Meridian and
Michigan streets last evening. A colored
man lay on the sidewalk. His position was
such as would be assumed by a man sitting
on the curb and falling backward. Atten-
ton was first called TO him by a young
woman on her way TO church. who i'm the
darkness uttered a little scream as she
nearly stepped upon him. Her escort
stopped and looked down. He thought the
colored man was dead. His ewes were
closed and there was no perceptible breath
ing.
Within five minutes after the first couple
stopped there were about twenty more
there. Men and women. white and colored.
stood about crOwding each other TO catch
"a glimpse or the PROSTATE man. No one
knew him. \ few thought they had seen
him somewhere The city ambulance was
called. During the wait a newspaper re-
porter passed. The crowd attracted him.
He stood for a moment looking about to
see If there was any one who knew any
thing about the case. Not finding the per-
son ne looked for. he reached into his
pocket. got a match. struck il and held IL
to the mans face. \ dozen persons nearly
fell over him In their endeavor to see. The

feel that they have "A spiritual or soul

if not a distinct declaration. that man has

which thinks and feels and wills. which
Is his real self. his ego. his soul.
I'm thinking OF man our minds center
upon the intellectual part Of him. the mind.
God has provided for the mind Of man by
the world OF nature. God has also fed the
intellectual man by the world which the
mind presents to him. The second ele-
ment i'm the universal man whose wants
are met by God Is the emotional element.
the one which marks man "a being of heart

To through the material creation: here are
evidences Of Gods divine power and good

and He would have His creature fall in

is the greatest miracle in the world. Love

for which God has made provision is the

The important things to notice are the
differences that flow logically from this
statement of Jesus. First. If you cannOt
be spiritually alive without God and His
truth, then you must use the means of
grace, the public service, the prayer meet
ing, the Sabbath school. the Endeavor
meeting. any meeting in which you may
come face To face with God and His truth.
I'm the light Of this utterance of Jesus does
not the work Of the church and the ministry
OF the word take on an interest supreme
and all important?
~ second inference from Jesus utter
ance is this one: II men must get life
by coming into touch with God and His
truth. then il is your duty and mine to
bring them where they may come into
touch with God and His saving gospel.
You are TO invite your neighbOr and friend
to Gods house, you are to urge and con-
strain them to hear the gospel, you are
to invite them prayerfully and to pray that
the minister of Christ may utter some word
which will be a sword or a salve, but

Tucker, also we'll known to the police, were
the participants. Both are colored. They
had been driving, and upon their return
quarreled. The Jones woman drew from
her dress a dirk knife. with which she
stabbed the Tucker woman on the fore
head. She finished her work by slashing
the other woman twice across the arm and
once across the abdomen. The Tucker
woman was carried into her home at ~
Wabash street and there attended by DR..
Hicks, of the City Dispensary, who said
the wounds were of a serious nature. The

ATTACKED in A BRIDGE
OSCAR HENNINGER STABBED BY An
UNKNOWN MAN.
He Was Driving with His Daughter
mt the Time-Bu9aies COIIided
in Covered Bridge.

Oscar Henninger. living at 2S12 West
Tenth street, was attacked last evening i'm
an unusual manner and that nearly re-
suited fatally. He had been driving i'm the
country with his married daughter and her
children.
Upon their return home they were obliged
to pass through the covered bridge on
Tenth street, across Big Eagle creek, about
7:30 o'clock. 1t was rather dark, and when
near the middle of the tunnel a collision
between Henninger's surrey and a one
seated buggy going in the opposite direction
occurred. Henninger said something to the
two men i'm the other rig about keeping
well to the right of the bridge. and had no
more than finished his remark when he was
struck on the side of the head with a knife
or other sharp instrument.
The blood spurted from the wound, which
was below the ear. A small artery had
been cut. Henninger's daughter knew Moth
ing of what had happened until she felt
the blood which covered her dress. She
then screamed Justify. The nan who had
inflicted the blow turned. and hurriedly
jumping into his rig drove rapidly west.
The only word spoken by the maj was to
the effect that he had some respect for
women The object of the attack was not
known. 1t was thought TO have been be-
cause the man, who evidently mad been
drinking, became angry on account of the
collision, while others thought the object
was robbery and that the men became
frightened when the daughters voice was
heard.
Henninger drove rapidly into Haughville
and stopped at DR.. Gains office, where the
wound was dressed. DR.. Cain said that had
the knife struck a half inch lower the large
artery of the neck would have been cut.
Henninger was very weak from loss of
blood when he arrived at the doctors office,
and the clothing of Henninger's daughter
and her children was soaked with blood.
The man who assaulted Henninger was
said TO have been "A large man, heavy set.
dark complexion, with dark. shaggy mus
tache and wearing dark clothes and a soft
hat. The other man did not get out of the
buggy and could not be described. The in
iurV is not dangerous.
