<DIV align=left> The Graham Daily News has been asked by
several of Graham's most prominent citizens to give its views on the loafing
question around the Graham depot. It doesn't seem that anyone, be he black
or white, would have business at the depot the whole day through, crowding the
persons who wish to go away on the train out of the waiting room. Now this
habit of loafing at the depot has become a rank nuisance, and the town council
aught to pass a law prohibiting it, as all other towns of good standing have
done.</DIV>
