The RECORDERsHIP.

Durham is interested in this
question just at present and the
proposed bill by Senator Man.
ming is coming in for discussion
on almost every corner. Many
good men favor the bill as drawn
while others think certain
changes should be made. Few
are Of the opinion that the pres
ent system should prevail, and
their efforts will doubtless be to
block any definite action in any
way they may see they have q
chance.
So far as our knowledge goes
relief in some way is needed,
and the proposed recordershiT
cannot be worse than the OLD
plan we have had so long. VIZ
see little reason for opposing tbs
bill of Mr.. Manning as a whole
but there may be changes thai
will be better adrpted to oul
needs.

DURHAM. N. c., Jan. %, 100!
IT WILL COME.

The recent agitation of the
matter Of putting county officers
on a salary basis has caused
many people to think and express
themselves on this question that
really had not given it a thought
before. The subject has now
become a live one in all parts of
the state, and we believe will
continue to be until the measure
is enacted. into a law.
There are many reasons why
this matter should be adjusted,
among them being the saving
that many counties will have,
and at the same time no one will
be the worse off, because in Dur
ham county the various officers
could receive a good salary and
the commissions that have been
would leave a good surplus. An
other reason that it definitely
settl S what a man is to receive
to do certain work.
In the legislature the house
neglected to pass a law giving
the governor salary sufficient tc
justify his holding the position,
and if the facts were known, il
would be seen that in the coun'
ties that they represented some
OF the county officers collected
more in fees for attending to tht
Office than the governor of tn,
state received.
People generally are becoming
interested in this matter AM
sooner or later they will demand
that their representatives Civ
them attention.

A CHRISTMAS
AT CAPE HORN.

~ nee ! had a shipmate who cele-
n brated the most grateful Christ

four masted barks are all the time un-
der water. Sometimes they are swamp
I'd altogether and float waterlogged
around the Horn. Then the current
pushes them south TO perish in the
ice jam.
Some sailors can be likened to the
four masted barks. They are the sail
ors who have been too long away from
home. All sailors plunge literally into
shore life. but the too long away from
home" fellows are. as a rule, swamped
in shore life's- breakers.

sway from home" unfortunate. But
bob still had somebody dear to his
heart He had started on more than
one trip around the world with the set
determination that the end OF the voy-
age should see him rejoin his own loved
ones at home.
But on pay day at the end of his
trips his good resolutions had been
broken. 1t had often gone so. and Bob
was hiding self despair under the grim
surface of man hating man.
Bob and |. with twelve other Yam

the starhOard watch under Chief Mate
Dickson Of the Mary Ann. When we
went below on Christmas eve the sea
was running high. Sleet and hail came
down In the squalls The western gale
had trimmed cur sails down to the
lower topsails.
We had hardly fallen asleep when
we heard the man at the wheel strike
one bell. Before the signal for "An

Bob and | were out of our hunks and
had our sea boots on.

he got his answer from Jimmy, the
