Tar Heel Council No. 2 VIII Present
Same In the Near Future.

For some time arrangements
have been in progress for the
presentation by Tar Heel Council
No. 2, Jr. o. U. A. M. to the
Durham Young Mems Christian
Association a Bible and Flag.
The plans at present are to
have a big speaking on this oc-
cassion. Governor Kitchin has
been asked to come and present
the flag and Past State Councillor
DR.. Chas. E. Brewer, of Wake
Forest, has consented to come
and present the Bible. The
exact date cannot be announced
at this time owing to pressing
matters at Raleigh to detain the
governor, but just as soon as he
can get here the presentation
will take place.
This Council of the Junior
Order has presented flags and
Bibles to quite a number of
schools in the county and expect
in the approaching spring to
present quite a few more to
schools that yet have none.
Next Friday night the lodge
will have a banquet at which
members will carry their lady
friends and each member is
anticipating a good time.

CITY ELECTION IN POLITICS.
Efforts To Have Municipal Election on
Strictly Party Lines.

For some time in party coun-
ellis the question Of having the
next municipal election pulled
off strictly on party lines has
been discussed, and now active
efforts are being made to this
end.
So far in the history of Dur
han as we remember all elections
have been held without consider
alton OF party, but the democrats
have been considering the ques-
tion of the advisability of putting
out a straight democratic ticket
for many years. It is contended
that this will be much better
than electing men of any political
faith who act as they choose
without regard to the future wei.
fare of anything. 1t is pointed
out that with a party responsible
for the actions of the city alder
men it will be much better than
heretofore, and there is little
doubt that there is room for i'm
provement.
The initiative is taken, 50 far
as we have been able to learn,
by the democrats, and while
nothing else will be left for the
Republicans to do. it is said that
if the democratic party nomina.
tes a ticket that republicans will
join in an effort to have a citizens
ticket named without special re.
gard for party men. This will
be revealed in the future. As
the matter now stands it is al.
most certain that a democratic
ticket will be placed in the race
and it will be up to the republi
cans to either nominate a tickeI
or fuse with a citizens ticket

Industrial News Sold

Greensboro, N. c., March l.
The property of the Daily In
dustaial News, which suspended
publication a month ago, was
offered for sale for the third
time, the sale taking place in
front Of the court house door.
There was a large attendance
but no bidders, and the receiver,
Mr.. w. |. Underwood, who
made an upset bid of S8,0SS, the
amount necessary to cover a
mortgage on the property, after
waiting several minutes for some
one to raise this bid, declared
the sale over. 1t is probable
that the receiver will turn the
property over to the mortgages
to be disposed Of as they may
see fit.
The first attempt to sell the
property was by the medium of
sealed bids to be opened January
20, when Mr.. E. c. Duncan was
the only bidder, naming a price
of SIS, 900, with the proviso that
the sum of S3,2l2 advanced to
the receiver to meet running ex-
penses should be admitted as a
prior claim. Judge Boyd refused
to confirm this sale and ordered
a sale at public auction February
Is. In the meantime the paper
had suspended publication and
at the second sale the highest
bid offered was $1,000, this be-
ing made by Mr.. Duncan. The
court refused to entertain this
bid and ordered another public
sale, naming ss,0ss at the upset
bid.

Let ihe Grand Father Clause Die.

In the Legislature Tuesday
the House judiciary committee
did an excellent thing when il
decided to report unfavorably q
bill extending the grandfather
clause" of the suffrage constitu-
tional amendment for eight more
years. Not only. as pointed out
by Messrs. Stubs and Doughton
would such action endanger the
entire amendment, but the prop
osition intrinsically has less than
no merit. The State cannot
afford to continue coddling and
nursing white illiteracy for an
indefinite period; sound public
policy would forbid this even il
the legal necessities which re-
quire the placing Of a cores
ponding premium upon negro
literacy were altogether absent.
AS matters stand, the pro.
posed extension would for nearly
a decade more stimulate negro
education, while fostering con.
tentment with ignorance, and
il an extension can be made fol
eight years more, why not at the
end of that period for another
eight years. and so on through
generationsi Neither in law MOI

device like the grandfather
clause" admit Of excuse excep,
