The Durham recorder. [volume] (Durham, N.C.) 1879-19??, 1907-02-12

DURHAM county can say no
longer that she has never had a
hanging. John H. Hodges and
freeman Jones have paid for
their crimes the dearest price
they had. There were some that
thought possibly the negro should
have been sent to prison for life,
and that there was some excuse
for the crime which Hodges COM
mitted. After looking at the
matter when they have both been
executed, there seems no room
for the delay of justice in either
case. Hodges admitted killing
his wife, that he went there with
that intention. nor have We seen
any statement where he express
ed regret for his action. Free
man Jones confessed that he
would have committed "a worse
crime than the one for which he
was hanged, if he had not been
scared away. Both men say that
iiduor was the cause of their
crime. which may be true, but
we are of the'opinion that liquor
only gave them the nerve to dc
what they did, especially as Hod.
ges stated that he drank whiskey
after he reached the house or
the night he committed the muir
der. We have little patience
with the idea that men commit
all sorts of deviltry because the!
are drunk, but believe tina
whskey only helps the low prin
cipal that is in a man to come t.
the surface.

Flowers and Weeds.

The pretty teacher was trying to
explain the difference between good
conduct and bad. "Good actions"
she explained, "are the lovely flow
ers. Bad ones are the weeds. Now
can any little boy or girl tell me
the difference between flowers and
weeds? What are flowers? What
are weeds?"
"Weeds," said Walter, who had
been struggling with the sorrel in
his mothers garden, "are the plants
that want to grow, and flowers are
the ones that DON'T"

"The Dollar"

There is no sentiment about a
dollar.
1t rests as peacefully in the FL
thy pockets Of a beggar.
As it does in the silken purse
of the millionaire.
It's blanket that covers a
multitude of sins.
1t brings joy today-It's the
cause of sorrow tomorrow.

THE legislature meets only once
in two years, while the board of
aldermen meet twice a month,
and county commissioners meet
every month, and just why the
legislature should have to attend
to small city and county affairs,
we see no reason.

ID. I1OUSOOu, vi IIui lidiii, HiSh
bers of the Junior and Sophomore
classes and of the Hesperian and
Columbian societies, will reple-
sent Trinity in her first annual
debate with the University OF
Tennessee. This debate will be
in Knoxville, Tenn, and will be
held on the evening of April 5,
which is Good Friday. Mr.. A.
L. Wissburg, of the Junior class,
is alternate.
The preliminary whereby these
men were selected was held last
Saturday evening in the Y. NJ.
c. A. hall from 1880 till $50
The meeting was presided over by
Prof. A. c. Mcintosh, and the
committee of judges consisted Of
Prof. w. H. Pegram, DR.. w. II.
Glasson, and DR.. w. K. Boyd.
Six men took part i'll the contest
and each was allowed fifteen
minutes on his first speech and
five on the rejoinder.
Though like all other occasions
of the kind in most respects the
debate was remarkable in one
feature, viz, the speakers were
very nearly matched with each
other. The speeches they made
were all uniformly good, and the
selection of the best two was by
no means an easy task for the
committee of judges. One feature
that the debate was lacking in
was that the audience was not
quite as large as it was on the
last occasion of this kind, but all
those that did attend were well
paid and enjoyed the occasion
very much.
The following query, which
Trinity will have the affirmative
side of when she meets the Uni
versity Of Tennessee, was used in
the preliminary:
Resolved, That the will of
the people operates more effect
lively upon the administration OF
government under the English
Cabinet System than under the
Presidential System of America. "
i On the affirmative appeared
Messrs. c. E. Phillips, f. B. Hob
good, A. l.. Wissburg, and F. s,
Love. On the negative were
Messrs. 4. w. Horton and w. G.
Jerome. One speaker and th'
alternate, it will be seen. were OF
the same side, and OH the sid,
which Trinity will defend in thu
, final battle.
r Mr.. Horton was the successful
contestant in the Sophomore de
} bate last spring. This viii be tn

 On a warrant issued at the request of Samuel krause of Clay street. John R. Maier, district manager of the Ma ti0nal Casualty company, was ar rested to-day by Detective Colesanto on charge of embezzlement.

Maier denies the charge and when the m0n- ey was demanded from him last week he refused to pay and still refuses as he declares he has no money belong ing to Krause. It appears that when Maier called for his money, Krause gave him the $5 bill. Maier says that he returned the change, but Krause stoutly denies the same and asserts that the insurance man went off with out. returning cent. The case will be heard in the city court tomorrow morning Attorney Charles Bauby will appear for the accused.
