ment went into effect. All over the
nation states went democratic that
had been republican since the i'll
fated DAYS OF 1896. The masses OF
the people are weary and worn OF
the republican party. They have
realized the baneful effects OF pro-
lection and its handmade, monopoly.
The high cost of living has caused
them 10 study the principles of gov
eminent as never before. The school
teacher Is abroad over the land and
the people are realizing thar they
must take more interest in politics,
Durham. is a large and growing city.
We have tried non-partisan. bi-pa;ii-
san government and we have $780,
900 floating debt TO show for II. II
We had had either republican or
a democratic government, this debt
would never have been created with
out the knowledge and consent OF
the people.
The future of Durham was never
brighter. We need many improve
ments. We need men to fill our
city Offices who are broadgaged, who
will study the future OF the city, who
will provide for the welfare of all
classes. | appeal to the young men,
to the first voters and TO those who
have voted more than once. TO take
an interest in our city and TO not
only go 10 the primary, but to give
thought and time to Suggesting and
nominating men who will come up
to these conditions and who will give
their time and thought to better
ment OF conditions. II Durham is
ever to be the city of the state. We
must look after the improvement of
our living conditions. We must pro-
vide parks and squares and play
grounds so that the women and the
little children and the big children
may have places OF amusement and
recreation. There are hundreds Of
women and children who spend the
entire summer in Durham When
the long, hot July days come, their
welfare must be considered Let our
motto be Bigger. Better, Beautiful

Ryan Was Discharged.

The attorney for Mr.. L. G. Ryan,
who was indicted for retailing whis-
key Wednesday afternoon, sprung a
sensation in court this morning.
An old colored man was caugh;
Wednesday afternoon as he was
emerging from MIR. Ryan's place on
Parrish street with several bottles
of whiskey on his person. The old
man confessed to the source of the
beverage and positively identified the
man who sold il to him. The old
man was detained as witness to-
gether with the two bottles of whis-
key which we're found upon his
person.
The Yhiskey and the old man were
introduced as evidence this morning
The old man swore that he pur-
chased the whiskey and pointed out
the salesman in open court. He
swore that the two bottles introduced
as evidence we're the identical ones
purchased from Mr.. Ryan. But 10

uncorked the two bottles in evidence
