Farm Life School Bend Election
Overwhelmingly Lost
VOTE CAST WAS FAVORABLE
But Such a Large Number Of Regis
tered Voters Stayed Away from the
Polls That This Vote Is Counteract-
ed-Country Districts Not Heard
From but VIII Not Change Result.

Judging from incomplete and scat
tering returns, the election to deter
mine the issuance of bonds for the es-
Enlistment Of a farm-life school In
Durham county has gone over
whelmingly against the school and
the hands on the dial that marks the
progress OF Durham county have been
turned back many years.
The predictions made in the Sun
Tuesday afternoon as to the general
trend of the election are borne out BIZ
the later returns that have so far
been made. The majority against the
school will be something like 200
votes. Out Of the total vote actually
cast, there will be a considerable ma
jority in favor OF the school. The de-
feat came about By the necessity for
voting against the registration books.
There was total OF something like
1900 voters registered for the election.
In order for the measure to carry.
there must have been more than $50
iavoring the school. Every vote that
was registered that was not voted
fayorably counted against the school
by the provisions OF the law.
Complete returns from the country
districts will perhaps show that a
small majority Of the total register
ed vote was cast for the school. The
measure received It's death blow In the
factory districts where the voters
labored under gross misrepresen-
tation. At West Durham out OF a
total registration OF 100 only IS votes
were cast favorable to the school. At
Brady's store. another precinct where
factory employees dominate. only IL
votes out OF total registration Of "
cast favorable 70 the school. East
Durham made a very creditable show
Ing. SC out OF 1872 votes registered be-
ing cast fayorably. The uptown pre-
eIncts taken as a whole will very like
~ show very small majority 81 the
registered vote against the school.
0fficial returns have been received
from Sykes store. where II votes were
cast. 20 against the school; Bahama.
where "a were cast, 8 unfayorably;
Rougemont. p cast with unfavor-
ably; East Durham 1875 votes cast with
Sc In favor Of the school The official
returns viii likely not all be In until
Saturday. and until that time. no ac-
curate estimate OF the total vote can
be made. The board OF county CON-
missioners are required by the law
to canvass the vote at their meeting
Monday and announce the result.

A victory For Wilson.

Court Decision Means More Buy.
ers on Leaf Markets
ONLY TWO WAREHOUSES;
Owners OF Parrish Warehouse De-
cline to Rent il for More Than a
Month ON Account of Prospects Of
Selling 10 County-Crop Better
Than Was Expected.

The formal opening of the Dur
ham tobacco market September Isl
or theerabouts will see some interest
ing and important changes in the
business.
From present indications there
will be only two warehouses where
before there has been three in active
operation The owners of the Par
IRISH warehouse property have re
fused TO rent this building for more
than one month ahead on account OF
the probability OF a sale OF the prop
erty TO the board of county commits
sioners for a court house site. The
warehouse firm which has rented this
building heretofore has refused 10
take Il on the monthly rent basis and
the present indications are that il
will stand idle. There has been
some talk OF the rental OF the build
ing by the American Tobacco Com
pany for a storage house, and this
deal may be consummated. Mr.. ".
T. Pollard. who has had charge of
the business at the Parrish ware
house heretofore. will be at the Ban
ner warehouse this season.
Another important change in the
business will be the increased num-
Der OF buyers at each OF the ware
houses. The decision of the su-
preme court In regard to the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company organization
will mean that each OF the larger
divisions OF the company will have
separate buyers on each Of the mar
kets. Where one OF more buyers
have looked after the interests OF
the whole organization OF manufac-
fnrers each OF the larger divisions o.
this organization will have sepa-
rate buyer on the Durham market.
For instance. the Reynolds factories,
the Continental Tobacco Company
the Imperial company. the Duke fac
tories. the BritIsh-Ameriean Com
pany will likely each have separate
buyers on the Durham market this
year. and the same will likely be true
OF the other large markets. An In.
teresting incident OF this change Il
the fact that the Imperial Company
and the American Tobacco Company
seem IL have severed relations en-
tirely where they formerly co-operat.
ed vith each other. In the small
sales that have been made on the
Durham market during the past few
days. the buyers OF these two com.
panies seem TO be actually competing
with each other.
The tobacco crop in Durham coun
~ and vicinity Is much better thii
year than had been expected The
dry weather findered the growth
somewhat. but the crop will ayerag,
fairly well with the crops Of othel
years The farmers are now bus,
curing the crop and the market wil
open In fun blast within the mex
few days

Material Placed On Ground and
Foundation Started
'cH|lDR[N's HOME SOCIETY
When Buildings Are Completed
Headquarters win Be Moved
to This City-work OF the Society
Is to Find Homes for Children Not
Eligible to Orphan Asylums.

Work on the receiving home OF
the North Carolina Children's Home
Society. socated near Durham, is pro.
crossing rapidly. A plot OF ground
contain Is or more acres situ-
ated on the Soaboard railroad sew
eral miles out from town has been
secured by the society for the home.
The material for the building is be-
Ing placed on the ground and the
foundation has been started. The
building win be of granite Of strictly
fireproof construction.
As soon AS the building here Is
completed. the headquarters OF the
home will be removed from Green's
boro TO Durham and all OF the activ-
ities OF the society will center here
instead OF at Greensboro.
The purpose of the North Carolina
Children's Home Society is to find
homes for homeless and outeast
children who for various reasons are
not eligible 10 admittance to orphan
homes. Children OF drunken parents
and other neglected children are
taken under the care OF the society
and homes are found with people
who desire TO adopt Che children.
The society has been in existence
for about eight years. During that
time 1.lGi children have been cared
for at an average cost OF $3.50 per
child.
Mr.. w. p. streeter. superinten-
dent OF the society. was in Durham
Tuesday to look after the work here.
Mr.. streeter is sending out appeals
to people In all parts OF the state
who are interested in the work TO
increase their subscriptions with fu-
tyre pledges to aid In the construc-
fion of the home here. One-third OF
the funds necessary 20 complete the
building have already been raised.
II IL hoped TO have enough funds in
hand to complete the building by the
time the funds now available are
exhausted In the construction work.
The home that Is being construct
ed here will be used simply as a
receiving home, where the children
can be cared for until a permanent
home can be found for them. The
situation is ideal and the grounds
are ample for giving the children
plenty Of wholesome exercise aud
fresh air.
