What Roosevelt Has Done.

Mr.. Roosevelt has keenly enjoyed
his power. He has been the happiest
man that ever dwelt in the White
House. Perhaps he has used his
power to its utmost constitutional
limit. He has been spectacular He
has sacrificed something of the ira
ditional dignity of the office in his
enjoyment of combat. But these, too,
are mere incidents in great career.
and they count for nothing beside
the original and lasting service that
he has done to the public. He has
made a great place for himself in
our history. and he retires from the
presidency at an earlier age than
most presidents entered the office,
with a volume of great achievement
to his credit that entities him to the
perpetual gratitude of his country

DURHAM. N. c., Aug. II. 1909
THE PYTBIas ORPHASaGE.

There is no criticism to offer
the committee who decided upon
the location of the Pythian or
phanage, for they are men that
all believe mad the best interests
of the order at heart and acted
for what they believed to be for
the best. and while Durham feels
disappointed it is not the resent
full kind of disappointment.
1t is so unusual for Durham to
fail when she really COOS after
anything that it is but natural
that she should feel keenly the
disappointment and yet there is
consolation in the fact that with
the same energy and effort she
can land other institutions that
will mean much to the town.
In the first place half the in
terest shown in some of the city's
struggling industries and words
of encouragement instead of crit
icism would mean a great deal to
the town. There are industries
here that need only what prop
erly belongs to them to become
great and a little effort might
give them a start that would
mean the upbuilding of great en-.
terprises.
Half the money or half the
land offered for the orphanage
would land industries that would
add greatly to Dlrham's mater
raj welfare and in turn draw
other like industries this way.
Let's help out what we have a
little and go after other things
that will mean much to US and
the loss of the orphanage will
not be felt so keenly?

TWO YOUNG MEN SHOT.
Tragedy al Black Mountain Early Sainr-
day Morning.

ing salesman Of the Chattanooga
Medicine Company, is in the
Mission Hospital here believed
to be MORALLY wounded as a re-
suit of a shooting scrape at the
Gladstone Hotel. Black Noun
tain. this morning at 1:S0 o'clock.
while Mr.. P. C. Collins, a promi-
nent banker of Hillsboro, is also
at the hospital in an adjoining
ward with a bad wound in the
right side. The two men re-
ceived their hurts at the hands
of F. C. Watkins, town consta-
BILE Of Black Mountain, in room
at the Gladstone Hotel this morn
ing about 1::30 o'clock. The men
were brought to Asheville this
morning several hours after the
shooting occurred and taken to
the hospital for treatment. 1t
was found that Mr.. Bunting was
suffering from internal hemor-
rhage and the fear is expressed
that he cannot live. MIR. Collins,
while dangerously hurt. will
probably recover. Mr.. Watkins
and DR.. Lands, of Black Noun
tain, accompanied the injured
men to Hsheville and to the hos
pital.
The story of the shooting at
Black Mountain was received
here early this morning and
created considerable interest.
The first details of the shooting
were obtained from Mr.. Watkins
after the men had been taken to
the hospital. Mr.. Watkins said
that about 1::30 o'clock this MORN
ing a messenger came to him
from the manager of the Glad
stone with a request that he go
to the hotel and put a stop to a
row and disturbance created by
two men in the .,lotel. Mr.. Wat
kins said that he Immediately
went over to the Gladstone; that
he found the two men, whose
names he did not then know, in
a room which they were occupy
ing. He said that when he
reached. the hotel women were
running around in their night
clothing, barefooted and fright
ened.
THE OFFICERS STORY.
Il went up to the room," said
the constable. where the men
were and entered. The room
was in darkness and as entered
/ struck a match to see my way
and lighted a lamp. One Of the
men, | don't which one, asked
who | was and | said a police
officer the town constable. One
of the men with an oath said in
effect, well, we take care of all
police here" At about that time
one Of them kicked the door shut
and then the light was snuffed
out. One of the men jumped at
me and grabbed me about the
neck, the other at the time also
closing in and clinching. The
men were both of strong build;
one Of them had something in his
hand but | don't know what it
was. When they closed in on
me and grabbed me, one reached
for my pistol or pistol pocket.
| drew my revolver, 3S-calibre
Smith & Wesson and in the dark
ness fired two shots and the men
staggered back; one Of them fell.
When | went in there was a
third person in the room, but
whether he got out before the
shooting | don't know. | called
for the door to be opened and il
was opened. 1don't know wheth-
err from the inside or the outside.
A light was secured and the
manager came in. | assisted one
of the men to a bed; the other
one went out into the hall. A
physician was summoned and in
company with the physician the
men were brought to Asheville
this morning for medical treat.
