Former purhamlie Killed.

Bruce Harris, a former resi-
dent of Durham. was killed in
Birmingham, Ala, last week by
a detective, who was endeavor-
ing to serve papers upon him.
From information sent out
from the Alabama town, it seems
that since Harris left Durham he
had tried to build for himself a
name for piety and right living
and was succeeding, when the
officers Of law ran across him,
and after a stri ggle lie was shot
by the detective that worked up
the case, or rather that found
the man.
Harris was known here as he
was a brakeman on the Norfolk
4 Western railway between this
station and Lynchburg, and the
trouble that caused him to leave
this section was over his faithless
wife. He was known, until the
time he attempted to shoot a
man for intimacy with his wife,
as a quiet man, and the accounts
sent out from his adopted home
indicate that he was living quiet
and peaceable there.

President Taft is fully realizing the
truth of the old saying Uneasy lies
the head that wears the crown
He Is surrounded BY all sorts Of
perplexities. His party is broken to
pieces. as 1t has not been since the war.

has furnished the sinews OF war for
the Republican campaign fund. and
with which that party has fooled the
people for years, is now being under

Democrats have always understood 1t.
as a system Of legalized robbery.
So that everything points to the
overthrow of the Republican party in
the coming election for members OF
the House OF Representatives. and the
passing OF the High Protective TarifI
System
The President made a prodigious
mistake In trying To bolster up the
Payne=Aldrieh Tariff law. which has
been practically diseredited by the
country, aud which has served to de-
throne Mr. Aldrlch as the Boss of the
Senate. His espousal Of AldrIeh and
his work, deprecated the President
in the eyes of the American people.
And he is now endeaYoring 10 faith

for Mr Ballinger, one of his Cabinet
Officials. who Is under charges which
are being investigated by congress

dent Of the United States ought alb

this case. If Mr. Balllnger i guilty
