Removing Spots.

One of the best preparations for
taking out grease stains is made
by mixture of one pint of deo-
dorized benzine, one-half dram
each of chloroform and alcohol
and little good cologne. Apply
to coat collars and black garments
with a piece of silk. In washing
solid black goods, use one table
spoonful in each gallon of water.
1t will not injure the most delicate
silk fabrics.
Grease can often be removed by
repeated applications of blotting
paper and French chalk to the
wrong side of woolen goods.
Grease upon carpeting can often
be removed by washing the spot
carefully in hot soapsuds.
Lukewarm water and fine soap
will remove fats from fast-colored
woolens, while tar and wagon
grease will yield to lard rubbed on,
then soaped and allowed to lie for
an hour or so. Afterward wash
alternately in water and spirits OF
turpentine.
Lime, lye and other alkalies will
give way to a weak solution OF
citric acid, applied drop by drop
and spread carefully over the dis
celebration with one finger. The
solution should be extremely weak
at first, the strength increased &C
cording to the effect desired. On
the contrary, all discolorations
from the effect of acids. including
sour fruit, may be removed by US
ing, in exactly the same manner,
solution of spirits of hartshorn.
One must feel ones way in regard
to the strength of these solutions,
in accordance with the delicacy
and color of the material. Each
drop must be Immediately rinsed
off with a wet rag before allowing
another to fall, so as to suspend
the process at the right point.
Silk goods, in the main, can re-
ceive the same cautious treatment
that is given to woolens. Fats
may be treated with benzine. ether
aud soap in a very weak solution.
Turpentine should not be used
upon silk, unless it be black silk.
4 current of water falling from a
height upon TIE reverse side of
the spot will help erase it. Care
must be exercised in regard to
leaving an outline of the stain,
which must be rubbed with a soft
cloth while drying.
Right here it may be said that
kerosene oil will erase fresh wagon
grease, and that machine oil yields
to cold soapsuds.
One rule must be remembered:
Alkalies are removed by diluted
acids, like citric acid; while acids
require hartshorn.

RURAL mail carriers have some
interesting experiences as they
70 on their daily round, and one
can almost tell whether he car
ries mail to a thoughtful or care
less people. One carrier relates
as his experience that several of
his patrons are always doing
something to make him feel
cheerful, such as arranging for
him to have a cool drink Of water
on a hot day, or he finds little
offerings of fresh fruit or some
product of the garden that is
good to a tired man, while an
other says that he never sees any
of his patrons, except casually,
and that his route becomes
monotonous. What kind of a
route is yours.

it is interesting in going around

be done to add to the appearance
of the yard are allowed to re-

UNDER A SERIOUS CHARGE!
Major Guthrie, COlOred, Sent Over to
The Grand Jury for Murder.

snS asuno SuAJ ava moAuob e.
A negro by the name of Major
Guthrie was before Mayor Gra-
ham Wednesday charged with
killing his wife. After hearing
the evidence he was sent to jail
without bail to await the action
of the grand jury at the next
term of Durham Superior court.
The wife of Guthrie was found
dead in her bed last Monday
morning. No one seemed to
know the cause of her death,
and inquiry was made that re-
suited in the arrest of Guthrie,
charged with the killing. The
testimony of the two principal
witnesses was as follows:
The first person to be put on
the stand was a colored woman
named Hester Laddie. She is a
neighbor of Guthrie and said she
had known the family for some
time. She stated in her testi-
mony that she had visited Guth-
rie's wife Sunday and stayed at
the house until Lizzie Guthrie
left home and with another
woman started on a walk, this
being about 3 o'clock in the aft
ernoon. AS Hester Laddie seemed
to like Guthrie's porch, she sat
there until the Major came in.
He asked where his wife was
and upon finding out she was not
at home he and his friend left.
He returned later alone and again
asked where she was, and not
finding her at home this time he
asserted that he would kill her
before the break of day. He
then left and no more was seen
of him by the Laddie woman,
neither did she see anything of
Guthrie's wife until she was
found dead in bed the next !
(Monday).
The next witness was DR.. N. |
M. Johnson. He stated that he
found the body in bed, covered |
up and partly dressed; that she
had not removed her stockings. |
There were bits of broken glass
both in the bed and on the floor. |
There were no marks of violence
except on the neck. On the left |
side it bore four small marks and |
on the right side one. They were
prints showing quite plainly. |
From the stiffness of the body he
thought life must have been ex-
tinct for six or seven hours, and
death was caused perhaps from
or choking.
The other witnesses testified
to about the same effect.

The work of building good
roads in Durham county has been
left just where it was, and it is
now up to the county commits
sioners to show the people just
how much good roads can be
built with the present income.
There is no doubt that this in
come will be greatly increased
for another year, and every
effort should be made to push
this work forward.
The Durham recorder. [volume] (Durham, N.C.) 1879-19??, 1907-05-10

The bonds for public road inn
provements were defeated and if
any special reason may be as
signed, it was because few peo-
pie saw the necessity Of voting
for them when the county was
building roads at a rather rapid
rate, or rather when Durham
county was spending $3S, 600 a
year with a likely increase to
$4,000. It may be a step back
ward, but one thing is sure, and
that is that the people that re-
fused to vote for the bonds did
not do so because they were not
informed as to the issue. The
defeat of the bonds is no indica-
ton that road building will not
be pushed in Durham county.
but simply that the voters did
not think it the part of wisdom
to vote to borrow money to 20 at
a more rapid rate.
