SAVES COST OF BATTERIES
Small Transformer Made for Use on
Bell Circuits-May Be Used for
Many Other Purposes.

Not so very long ago some one hit
upon the idea of building a small
transformer which would take the no.
volt alternating current used in most
dwellings and step it down in pressure
to the few volts necessary to operate
a doorbell, thereby saving the expense
and annoyance of batteries, says the
Popular Electricity. Now there was
nothing new about little transformer.

MR. BRYAN AS POLITICAL FACTOR.

The rebuke given to William Jen-

Wednesday foretells the end OF what
promised 10 be a great political career.

wave Of free silver that seemed to
sweep the entire democratic party.
Mr.. Bryan was looked upon as the
greatest aspirant for the presidential
chair that had endeaYored to lead
democracy along the road TO the white
house His defeat did not seem to i'm
pede the progress or the Peerless One
as a leader. His title was undisputed
until the third defeat, after which Mr..
Bryan began to attack strong adyo-
Gates Of democracy upon the basis tina
many refused to believe as he did and
were not afraid to say SO.
Recently the pet hobby of Mr..
Bryan has been attacked BY Leader
Underwood. and the singing rebuke
that this true advocate OF democracy
gave to the once famous Bryan was
almost a knockout blow. Further
more Mr. Underwood received the un-
divided approval OF his colleagues III
his answer to the unjust criticisms.
Even the staunehest friends Of Mr.
Bryan are surprised that he should
make an assertion that Leader Under
wood was opposing Champ Clark. and

An INJUSTICE no DURHAM

There has been sent broadcast over
the state a statement prepared by the
commissioner OF labor and printing
giving the statistics Of manufacturing
in North Carolina that does Durham a
grave injustice. The census returns
of the United States government
show that Durham leads all other
cities in the state in amount OF capt.
tai invested in manufacturing by sew
eral million dollars, and in value Of
products more than this amount The
statement OF the commissioner. which
has been hailed with loud trumpet
blasts. gives some other cities credit
for being in the lead in manufactur-
ing. For some reason, Durham is not
mentioned-simply ignored altogether.
Only the closest scrutiny reveals the
fact that the statement is based on
the census returnes of 1909. based
upon the calculations of 1904" As if
anyone cared what conditions were in
1904. This statement to the ordinary
reader represents the present day con-
iitions, That such misleading and
inaccurate statement should be sent
,utAby the commissioner, when aceu-
ate and recent statistics on the sub
eet are available is not in keeping
With the manner in which this import
