were known by Mr.. Glass to be
false and slanderous when he

PLAN MAMMOTH HIGHWAY.

Charleston, through its board of
trade, and more particularly through
the secretary Of that organization, Mr..
A. w. McKeand, has inaugurated a
movement to build highway Of three
hundred miles from that point to
Asheville, through Greenville and
Spartanburg, 10 be known as the Caro-
lima highway. Charlotte, through its
board Of trade. win make strong bid
to have the highway pass through that
city.
While Durham VS. not located geo
graphically So that this city could
make bid for this particular high
way. yet if movement was launched
10 build capital to capital highway,
as was talked of about year ago, We
would not be in position to make a
ripple upon the wave Of progress
through any organized board or sec
rotary. for the very simple reason
that we do not have either. This is
the situation that confronts Durham
today. A situation that will prove a
stumbling block to our future prog
ress. although at present we are maxi
ing giant strides forward. But We
must remember that other cities in
this state have taken on new life and
are reaching out for any good project
in sight. which III time win mean that
We will be trailing. instead Of being
in the vanguard.
Surely Durham citizens must realize
the condition that confronts us. Surely
Dnrham's progressive men know that
unless We compete with our sister
towns We will be unable to continue
our present progress. Why sit idly
by and watch other towns grow, when
we win be able to secure our share
almost for the asking? Why not have
board OF trade. and through such
an organization make Durham the
leading city in North Carolina? You
would not let citizen from another
town say that you can not do this
because you would not believe it. and
yet that is the spirit that We ara
showing. when We miss an oppor
tunity to advance Durham along con
servatiye and safe lines.

DURAN SEEN BY FARMER.
PERSON COUNTY VISITOR WRITES
OF ORR PROGRESS.

A Person county farmer visited the
progressive city of Durham several
days ago. Here is his account OF TIE
trip, published in the Roxboro
Courier:
This writer aud his sister went to
Durham Tuesday OF last week to pick
out tombstone for our mother, who
deId on the t4th of March. We drove
TO Roxboro and lett my horse and
buggy in the care Of the proprietor
or the Winstead warehouse. aud took
the train at the depot at about half
past nine. This was the first time
that we ever mounted the train, This
writer took close inspection OF the
country while the train was running.
He saw the dwellings and farm work;
saw some few farmers ditching. At
Helena the merchants seemed to have
a crowd there around the stores, as a
good many people know that's BUSH
ness place. Rougemont is nice
place. Quail Roost and gun club have
some nice buildings and large guam
tity OF wheat sowed at this place.
Bahama is a pretty little place.
When we reached Durham We got of
at the Union depot and just as we
entered on Main street We saw Dur
hams skyscraper, the tallest building
in Durham. There was a plenty Of
pretty stores in Durham. The l0-cent
store had more lady clerks in it than
ever saw in one store, and there was
the largest quantity Of flowers that
ever | saw in one place, and plenty
0f hats for them to 20 on. The
American Tobacco company's storage
house was an uncommon big building;
and the new Watts hospital was q
large building.
Automobiles and, street cars were
a-rolling all Of the time. Durham Il
a powerful place ard anybody thai
has never visited that city would b
well paid to take visit over there
visited the different warehouses, hi
am bound TO say that Roxboro ha.
the finest warehouses. When we cam,

was lit up with electricity. and tina
