NOW FOR The DEPOT
Partof Peabody StreetOffered
as a Site.
The Citiz ms Of Durham Take Acloh---lf the
Southern is BIuffng tie Bluff
is Called.
Especial to News and Observer

Durham, N. c., Jan. pa special
attended by members of the Chamber Of
Commerce and other representative citi-
zens was held tonight. The object was
to consider a resolution offered at the
last meeting of city aldermen touching
the matter of Union Depot for Durham.
After the matter was thoroughly dis
cussed a resolution, giving to the three
railroads that portion of the city between
Cocoran and Chapel Hill, or such por-
ton of Peabody street between Corcoran
and Chapel Hill or such portion of the
street as is necessary to erect a union
depot and allow trackage was rendered
the roads
AS is well known the ownership of this
street is in litigation and has been for
years The resolution tonight is a prop
ostion from the city to give to the roads
a quit claim deed for that portion of
the street named.
Some of those present were opposed to
passing the resolution, but they were in
the minority.
The passing this resolution was the re-
suit of the recent session of the Cham
Der of Commerce regarding this matter,
in which Attorney Busbee, of the South
ern, intimated that such proposition
would be considered. The prevailing
sentiment of those who made talks to-
night was that the proposition will not
be accepted by the Southern and that
intimation to that effect was only a
bluff
During the argument it developed that
bill has been drawn and was now IN
the hands of Representative Fuller giving
powers to the Corporation Commission
so that the commission can order
Union Depot. The resolution gives the
roads twenty days to accept the prop
osition and one year from February J.,
1908 to complete the depot.

A DRUMMER,S STORY,

The commercial traveller has long en-
joyed a reputation for cheerfulness and
pleasant disposition. As class, drum
Iners are, seemingly, the most light
hearted and happy people in the world.
But very often their jolity is merely good
acting and back of their funny stories is
acute physical pain. Eating all sorts of
food at all sorts of times in all sorts
of places quickly puts mans stomach
and other digestive organs out of shape
and brings on Indigestion and dyspepsia.
The wise drummer carries bottle of
Tyner Dyspepsia Remedy in his grip
and takes 4 dose after each meal 1t
relieves indigestion almost instantly
and, if taken as directed, permanently
cures dyspepsia in its worst forms. Mr..
r. +. White. of Greenville, S. c.. a we'll
known and popular drummer, says: II
suffered every day from indigestion for
years. l could find nothing that would
relieve me only for short time. I was
induced to try Tyner's Dyspepsia Remedy.
After using three bottles ! am entirely
cured and can eat anything 1 like with
out any after inconvenience. 1t is the
best remedy for indigestion I have ever
known"
Tyner's Dyspepsia Remedy is sold by

protective duties We're put high with the
idea of reducing them by reciprocity
treaties
The Senator from Iowa had sounded the
praises of the reciprocity treaties. "lt
would rebound to the credit of the Sen
ate" he said, "if the reciprocities are
passed over in silence and the Senate
should never act on them. He said the
intention of the reciprocity section of
the Dingley act was to make agreements
upon nom competitive products. Mr..
Aldrch said he never expected a Re-
publican administration would negotiate
treaties which struck ut the heart of
protection"
Mr.. Tillman (South Cardinal gave
notice that he would address the Senate
tomorrow on the resolution, "as there

did not burn, he said, it would noa be
his fault, but he intended to lay the

The West Entitled to the Senator.

To the Editor: Having respected their
pledges and carried out the instructions
of their constituents, the casting eleven
successive ballots for United States Sen
ator, the Senators and Representatives
from central and eastern North Carolina
may we'll afford to extend their support
to Hon. Locke Craig, of Buncombe. And
if they were familiar with conditions now
existing in the West, l believe many of
them would give more consideration to
the wishes of the Western people. 1t is
we'll known that Mr.. Craig is a native of
the East, but he knows, better than any
candidate in the field, the needs of the
West.
The Republican party has gone out of
business in North Carolina, except in
the mountain counties of the West and
the influence of Senator Prtchard is
holding it together there. Give our peo-
pie Craig for Senator and the State will
be ours from Cherokee to Currituck. The
great West, which has suffered for many
years from standing by the east in Kidding
itself of negro rule, feels that it is en-
titled to the Senatorship, and Mr.. Craig
is it's candidate. The section west of the
Ridge is entitled to this honor. 1t was
the hand of Vance and Pritchard.

DUTY OFF COAL FOR ONE YEAR.
Ways and Means Committee to Report Bill
to the Bouse.
(Ry the Associated Press.)


Washington, Jan. 13.-The Ways and
Means Committee of the House today
decided to report a bill providing for a
rebate-equal to the duty nom imposed
on all kinds of coal and coming from all
countries for period of one year. This
bill is substitute for the one introduced
by Representative Hill, of Connecticut,
which provided for a rebate until June
80 newt At meeting of the Republi-
can members of the committee prior to
the meeting of the full committee report
Mccall, Massachusetts, provided that
provisions be made in the bill subse-
Quently adopted that after the expira-
tion of one year. during which a rebate
is to be paid, on all coal, that all coal
coming from countries which admit our
coal free of duty, be admitted free into
this county.
Representative Tawney, Minnesota,
favored the proposition, but it was OPP
posed by the remainder of the Republi-
can members on the ground that as a
temporary measure was under considera-
ton they should not adopt any perma-
nent policy. Representative Dalzell,
from the Committee on Rules, reported
ton of the coal rebate bill In the House
tomorrow, limiting debate to one hour.
a vote then to be taken without inter-
vening motion.
The bill provides: THAT the Secretary
of the Treasury be and he is hereby au
thoriZed and required to- make full re-
bate on duties imposed by law on all
coal of every form and description i'm
ported into the United Sattes from for
eign countries for the period Of one year
from and after the passage of this act"
Representative Richardson (Tennessee)
prosed an amendment striking out the
words ''for a period of one year. which
was voted down. He then proposed an
amendment placing all Goals on the free
list, which was likewise voted down. The
final vote on the adoption of the bill was
unanimous.
The report of the committee submitted
to the House by Chairman Payne says:
"Precedents for such legislation are found
in the Chicago fire and the fire at East
port Me. In these cases Congress re-
bated the duty on lumber used IN re-
building in the burned districts. Whether
the legislation will increase the impor-
tations or reduce the price of coal is a
question on which men differ. But 1t is
all Congress can 90 in the premises and
will satisfy the demands of many Of our
citizens. While there is a threatened
coal famine in any part of the country
We cannot turn away the cry of the peo-
pie.
THE committee did not consider it best
to make any changes in the tariff on coal
after the period of one year had expired,
Iceferring to bring in this as q purely
emergency measure and not desiring to
go into the question Of tariff revision,
even unon this ane article .,

THE COAL FAMINE.
Desperate Conditions Confront Several of the
Western Cities.
(By the Associated Press.)


Chicago, Jan. 12.-The city council to-
night took a hand in the solution of the
coal problem. Al ordinance was passed
making the forestalling of fuel supplies
misdemeanor punishable with fine of
5000 for each offense. AS an emergency
matter the measure was rushed through
under suspension of the rules. After ten
days it goes into effect.
Indianapolis, Ind, JAN 12-Governor
Durbin this afternoon sent letters to the
management of the railroads crossing In
diana, calling conference for Thurs
day afternoon to deal with the coal sit
uation IN this State.
Topeka, Kas., Jan. 12.-The fuel situa-
ton grows more alarming in Topeka.
Two of the largest coal companies in the
city report they have not pound of coal
on hand with which to supply their or
ders, and do not know when they will be
able to get any Packing houses and
other institutions will have to close in
two days unless the situation is relieved.
The local gas company may have to close
this week as the works cannot secure
coal to make gas. The street railway
company has only small supply of coal
on hand.
Other Kansas towns report practically
the same situation.
Omaha Neb., Jan. 12.-For the first
time during the winter the fuel situation
has become serious in this city. The
coal supply has become nearly exhaust
ed. Several business concerns were forced
to close today for want of coal.

things With Hitantic energies and God
like wisdom mankind has set out TO ex-
plot the world in which he lives and con-
vert all of its elements and mysterious
forces to his betterment However much
we NAV deplore this apotheosis of ma
terial things We cannot ignore it, We
cannot stem the current. AS a people
we must go with it or suffer.
Congress has in the near future to deal
with a question more momentous than
it has ever confronted in times of peace.
Prominent among these questions are
those of an industrial nature. The fitest
man. the only man, to deal adequately
with these questions is man of indus
trial training. l repeat that General
Carr has given the highest proof that he
possess these qualities, possess them in
the most eminent degree. Therefore
insist that he is the North Carolinian
above all others to whom should be com
mitted the important trust of the Sena-
torship.
Their again the most damaging ar
raignment ever brought against the
Democratic party is that it is party
of lawyers--that it bellies it's name, that
it is lawyer ridden; that one class-hoW-
ever high and noble it may be and no
man can say that the lawyer class is not
a most noble one-that one class appro-
PIRATES to itself vastly more than its
share of the great offices of profit and
honor. Right here it has a most golden
opportunity to rid itself of this most
harmful imputation. 1t should do so by
electing Julian s. Carr, this of the peo-
pie, as Senator. 1t has been said that
Republics are ungrateful. Will the Dem
ocrats of North Carolina prove migrate
fult on this high occasion? Will it re-
fuse to requit in the only way which he
asks the most patriotic most benevolent
and most loyal of her sons? A man whose
benefactions extend to all class and con-
ditions of people. The first North Caro-
linian to set the pace, who made it the
fasion to give. We cannot measure the
far-reaching results of philanthropy.
If j. S. Carr had never done anything
but extend the help he has to the Con-
federate soldier, we who claim to love
an revere the veteran, he would we'll de-
serve the highest official gift that North
Carolina could bestow. Weighing all
these things, both the best and wisest
thing that the servants of the people
who assemble in Raleigh can do is to
elect him Senator.

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 12.-President
Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers of
America tonight, issued the following
circular letter to all local unions in the
anthracite district;
Philadelphia, Pa, Jan II.
To the Officers and Members of Local
Unions of the u. M. w. of A, in the
Anthracite Region:
Gentlemen: You are no doubt aware
that serious coal famine exists in all
the Eastern and seaboard cities. due to
the shortage of the anthracite coal sup
ply. The situation has reached an acute
stage and has resulted in great suffering
and hardship to the poor of the cities
whose earnings are insufficient to enable
them to pay the excessive prices now
being charged for fuel, and it is subject
ing the general public to great incon-
Venience.
To relieve the situation and alleviate
as far as possible, the suffering now
being endured, it is the duty of every
one connected with the production of
coal. With this end in view we are
prompted to address this communication
to all members of our union and request
ment of the mines in an effort to increase
the production of coal. The gravity Of
the situation is such as to require that
every mine worker shall exert himself
and use every means at his command to
this end. Upon reading this communica-
ton in the columns of the daily papers,
local unions should hold meetings and
devise means whereby the daily output OF
the mines may be increased. These ef-
forts should be continued until the
weather moderate and the great necessity
for fuel shall have passed.

TaE REPLY OF THE RAILROADS.
They Name Reasons for the Increase in Freight
Rates
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, Jan. 12.-The Norfolk and
Western, Michigan Central, Baltimore
and Ohio and the Lakeshore and Michi-
gan Southern Railways have filed with
the Inter State Commerce Commission
their answers to the request Of the COM
mission for a statement of reasons for
the increase in freight rates on grain
packing house products, dressed meats
and other articles on the trunk line
roads. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
cites the large increases in taxation and
says that an aggregate of almost S12,-
000, 900 is involved in needed additions to
the equipment. The Michigan Central
says it's reasons are the great increase in
the cost of maintaining and operating it's
road, consequent on the increase in the
wages of it's employ and the increase in
the cost of materials and large increase
in taxes. The Norfolk and Western says
it's enormous traffic has taxed the re-
sources of the company to the utmost
and equipment additions are needed.
Material adVices in wages of employees
have been made and other advances are
in contemplation in the near future. The
increases in freight tariff, according to
this answer are necessitateG by the adj
vanced price Of material and the partly
advanced price of labor, and
steady increase of about $150,0OO per an
mum in taxes.
