THE HORSE TRAFFIC.
In the horse market during the past
week there has been better demand
for heavy, strong, Serviceable, acclihal-
ed horses, and these have sold more
readily at higher prices than previously
quoted. Local users of horses do not ike
to put green country horses at work IN
bad weather on the slippery streets ana
50 have purchased acclimated horses
when the latter have been capable of do
ing the work required. The better oe-
mand for these horses has reduced tue
demand for green horses and these nave
sold at lower prices than for some time
nreyious. Heavy country horses. l6OO0
1890 pounds. are quoted at s275G30 with
medium weights from s225 to s2I3 and
light wagon and express horses from $3.50
to s2aa5. The best acclimated horses bring
from 500 to $3.50.
At the city sales stables:
Wheeler, McElveen Co. report the
demand for country horses d little slack,
with prices lower. but much better de-
mand for the high class accimated
horses. They received about 80 country
and 10 acclimated horses and had a sue
cessful sale of about 100 horses at South
Lawrence, most of the horses being
taken for work in the woods.
Myer Abrams & Co. had three carloads
of green horses and about 81 acclimated.
Business was rather slow with prices ma
terially lower than during previous
weeks, particularly for the country
horses.
\ quiet trade is reported by tn"
WEIGH & Hall Co. which had l load of
country horses and about 80 seconds.
There was little change in prices from
last week. Tut the tendency is down
ward. and has been for several weeks.

A TRIPLE MURDER
With Negro Suspect Under Arrest

Durham, n. c., Dec. 2O.-The charred
bones of J. l.. Sanders, his 22-year- old
daughter Mary and his 4-year- old
granddaughter. Irene Ovcrton in the
ruins of their home at Hester. near
here, gave startling evidence today of
one of the most cruel crimes ever COM

by a coroner's jury of assault. murder
and arson, is believed to have killed
Mr.. Sanders and his little granddaugh-
ter. aud then to have attacked and fin
ally cut the throat of Miss Mary San
ders. leaving all three bodies in the
house, to which he is thought to have
set fire.
The Negro is safe tonight in the state
penitentiary at Raleigh, but angry mobs
are reported to be gathering to seek ven
geance. Sheriff Wheeler fooled a crowd
at Hester last night in rushing his pris-
oner to Durham. Sheriff Hardwood at
Durham, not wishing to take any chances
with the people who were reported to be
coming here in special train after
Montague, hustled the Negro to Raleigh
in an automobile.
The finding OF Miss Sanders skirt
covered with blood in the Negroes pos

tragedy which was identified as one

I'VE know of no parallel in the history
OF educational benefactons to gifts SO
munificent bestowed upon d single insti-
tuition of learning. But unique as they
are in amount, they are still more re-
markable for the spirit in which they
have been bestowed. Mr.. Rockefeller
has never permitted the university to
bear his name and consented to be call
ed It's founder only at the urgent re-
quest of the board of trustees. He has
never suggested the appointment or re-
moval of any professor. Whatever views
may have been expressed by members of
the faculty he has never indicated either
assent or dissent. He has never inter-
fered directly or indirectly with that
freedom of opinion and expression which
is the vital breath of d university, but
has adhered without deviation to the
principle that while it is important that
university professors in their conclusions
be correct, 1t is more important that in
their teachings they be free.
more significant still, this principle
has been maintained even in his attitude
toward the teaching of "A subject so init
mate as religion wherein the mind is
keenly sensitive to differences of opinion.
Although at times doctrines have been
voiced in the university which traverse
those the founder is known to hold, he
has never shown a desire to restrain that
freedom. which is quite precious in
theology as in other fields of thought
such relationship between great
benefactOr and the institution which he
has founded affords d motto for cduca-
tional bcncfaction through all time to
