nearer the people. A democrat is a
man that believes that every man,
whether rich or poor, small or great,
weak or strono, has. the God-giyen

The applause that followed this def
milton of a democrat indicated that
the audience believed this good
answer to the question that has been
popping up over the state.
What Is a Republican?
'sAh! that is the question. What

North Carolina republicans are little
except factional fighters after federal
offices. / never said half SO mean
a thing about them in my life. And
| never will, for some of them are
my neighbors, and Mr.. Taft's saying
1t saves me the trouble. But you
can't deny that Taft told the truth,
for when the republicans met in
Greensboro, they passed resolutions
endorsing his ADMINISTRATION. But
il you want a broader definition
of what a republican is, ask
Senator Bristow what a. republi-
can is. He says that the re-
pubncans in the United States con-
gress had deliberately violated their
oaths and the promises of the party
platform in the formation of that
last tariff bill. Aldrich says that
Bristow is liar. don't know which
a republican is right. (Laughter.)
Both may be true.
The Taxing Power.
"A republican believes. that the
United States government can be
strengthened by levying taxes for

Schedule Promised by Southern
Better Than Hoped Fer
OFFICIALS HERE TODAY
Double Daily Passenger Service Be.
tween Durham and Richmond
Provided for and viii Soon be
Pput in Operation by the Rail-
road People.

Mayor Griswold and Alderman X
L. Lindsay, who spent yesterday in
Chase City In conference with the big
officers Of the Southern road, return
ed to the city last evening bringing
with them news of much improved
service and also several of the Of
ficials came along to see what big
place Durham really is.
The schedule promised by the rail-
road men was far beyond the re-
quests and hopes of the representa-
tives OF the different cities that had
representatives at the conference. A
through train schedule from this city
to Richmond twice a day was Prom
ised and will be put into operation
as soon as all. arrangements can be
made.
The first train is to leave Durham
in the morning at o'clock and will
reach Richmond at 1855 in the af-
ternoon. Returning the train win
leave Richmond at p. M, arriving in
this city at $3.50 at night.
The second train will leave Dur
ham at 2:05 In the afternoon and
reach the Virginia city at sos in the
evening. Returning this train will
leave Richmond in the morning at
6:10 and is scheduled to get to Dur
ham at 12:40. This train is to run
through to Raleigh and will carry a
sleeper.
A Convenient Schedule.
Although this is not just the ar
rangements that the Durham mer-
chants have been working for, 1t will
practically fill the bill, in that 1t will
make day visits on the part Of peo-
pie down the line possible. A person
livinb teween here and Richmond
will be able to come into Durham on
the 12:4O train. il necessary, can get
out on the 2:05 train. Or they may
remain here over night and get back
home on the train leaving here at
8 O'Clock IN the morning.
The schedule will enable Durham
ties and travelling men to leave here
either at 6 In the morning or at 2:05
in the afternoon and visit oxford,
Keysville. Chase City or any of the
places on the line and get back to
the city on the night train, which
reaches here at $3.50. On the whole
the Durham people can have no kick
on the deal that the railroads give
them.
Good Connections.
Another important thing about the
new schedule is the good connections
that may be made in Richmond fol
the northern markets. A man will
be able to do good days work In
Durham, and catch the 2 O'Clock
train out IN the afternoon and gel
into New York city the following
morning at s O'Clock.
It will be especially convenient te
the tobacco growers and dealers, al
they can get here the night before
and attend the sales and get home
that afternoon. The majority do moi
mind spending the night here before
