Harvest of Blind Tigers in Durham;
Durham, April 18.—The most colos-sr>'
blind tiger raid in Durham's ig-noble
record in that respect, was
r:oi,.ummated this morning when 61
were rounded up and docketed for
the recorder's court.
Four dv'ectives, employed by the
Raleigh agency, did the ferreting,
and the Durham officers did the
rest. At 2 o'clock this morning the
word was given. The entire police
force, first and second sargeants
and patrolmen, the county officers
and the chief of the officers, went
on a raid and brought in 11. They
kept it up until they had made 4-'
cases among the negroes and 20
among the whites.
Thes? arrests were o' old offend-
I ers who have been under suspicion,
under conviction and under clem-lency
a long time. Some were new
Jones. Two old white men, both
convicted and judgment suspended
were caught and they had money to
burn, but not enough to put up their
bonds last night. They appeared to
have done big business yesterday.
Rural mail carriers will not be re-quired
to wear uniforms hereafter
under the t-rms of a bill introduced
(by Representative Hamlin, of Mis-
| souri, and they will have the right
to communicate to members of Con-gress
any (omplaint or petition they
desire to make, a privilege now de-nied
them. Another bill introduc-ed
provides $300 a year extra to
each rural carrier to reimburse him
for the expense of his horse and wa-gon.
The Benefits of a |
Savings Account !
The benefits accruing from a
savin-s account are manifold.
The interest received Is the
smallest benefit produced. To
lay aside a "snug little sum
for a rainy day" is a com-mendable
undertaking, and
certainly worth all the effort
any savings account ever re-quired,
when the "rainy day-comes.
But satisfying as
these benef.ts are, they have
not the merit that comes of
the training acquired in suc-cessfully
conducting a savings
account. To have learned the
principles of economy is to
have your independence and
happiness assured. Such are
some of the great values of a,
savings account. This bank en- .
courages such accounts by pay-ing
4 per cent, interest on
them, compounded four times
a year.
Checking accounts in any
amount cordially invited.
Please call at the bank when
you are in town. i

Minister 8'ricken While at Prayer.
Mebane, April 17.—While kneel-ing
to offer prayer at the close of
his East3r morning sermon in the
Mebane Methcd st church Sunday,
Rev. M. M. McFarland was stricken
with paralysis and died at his home
at 4 o'clock In the afternoon. He had
been in poor health for a number of
years and recen-ly stated to a
friend that he would be compelled to
give up active work if his health
did not improve. On Sunday morn-ing,
however, he was apparently as
well as usual, and began his sermon
with the announcement that he
would take his text from both the
Old and New Testaments—"If a man
die, shall he live again," and "The
last enemy to conquer is death.'"
Besides a devoted wife, who is
the daughter of Capt. Graham White,
of Burlington, he is survived by a
son, William McFarland, a student
at Blngham school, and a daughter.
Miss Alice McFarland, who would
have graduated this year at Little-ton
Female Co lege, but recently
gave up her work owing to the con-dition
of her health.
The funeral services were conduct-ed
