The Board of Mayor and Aldermen held a recessed meeting at the council cham- Der last night The purpose of the meet ing was to discuss the advisability of laying concrete sidewalks from Fifteenth street, on Greensboro avenue, to the Ala bama Great Southern depot. The board favored the immediate paving, but the matter of the grading and the property lines brought up another question. The street has been filled far above the side walks in some places and if the sidewalk grades are placed on the street grade number of property owners will have to build steps to the street.
 Also certain property for long num- Der of years has been as much as 30 feet on the street, and a sidewalk, &C., cordlng to street lines, would split some of it practically in two. It was decided, finally, on motion that the board as d committee met with all property owners concerned and agree on the most advis- able plan to pursue in the matter.
 The board heard W. c. Allen of the Southern Western Lumber company in the matter of opening up Thirteenth ave- nue. It appeared that this lumber com pany had previously been granted the right to close the avenue provided an S0- foot road was put around the entire plant. Having compiled with this the company showed that the opening up of the ave nue would work great hardship in that it would necessitate the removal of the dry kiln, the switches connecting it with the railroads and the office building. No action was taken on the matter at this

DURHAM. N c.. July 29.-The con-

new tricks by the blind tigers, which
can see more than those with both
eyes open. lame negro here, who
has been before the courts several
times for selling liquor. has become a
notorious character by his walking
about the streets continually whistling.
That Is sign that he has liquor on
hand. and the felrow who comes
acroas secretly can get his supply.
When he walks about not whistiing,
that is sign that there Is nothing
doing. When he passes a given place
and gives little dab OF whistle. that
means licIhas Just few small drams
In the tigers lair--jnst enough for the
person who understands the sign.
Another feature Is that some Of the
suspected places. when they have a
supply on hand, are locked up as
tight as a drumhead-tighter than the
fellows who frequently come out of
them: and when the liquid fire Is out
and not even the ashes are smoldering,
they stand wide open for good air.

tiger In Durham.
