as for the present. We are not
opposed to selling the plant, but
this contract is not on the proper
basis for acceptance as present-
ed. Don't be in a hurry to sell
there are others that have an
eye on this field. Burlington
holds the key to the situation and
it must be turned at the proper
time and in the right way, or we
will loose not only in the present
but more in the future. There

Women Win.
The New York Legislature has
passe i a Dill to amend th^^ con
stitution of the state of New
Yi r'-; permitting women to vote.
City Fathers.
V 'e believe its the duty .of the
board of Aldermen to pass an
ordinance requiring all property
owners to keep the mud off the
sidewalks in front of their pro
per :y or build a wall or turf
the abbutting exposed washing
embankment where cuts were
made. This would give value to
the sidewalks, as it is they are
almost worthless.
t the
Gov. Biease.
Gov. Blease rexuses to le
South Carolina, troops attend the
inauguration, altho they have
their quarters secured and paid
for. He has no invitation for
the occasion. And he has infor
med the troops that he is comm
ander in chief and it will. be
xseccessary for them to obey
orders.
Compnisory Edacation.
Mr. J. Frank Ray of Macon has
introiuced a bill in the Legislature
to compel all children between
the ages of eight and fourteen
>ears to attend school for three
months in each year, unless they
are given the same training at
home or in a private school. It
will be well for you to read this
bill, for it is probable that it will
become a law at this session oJ
the Legislature.
Mr. Chas. M. Schw-^ab has
bought the Tofo Iron Mines in
Chile which contains 100.000.000
ton of developed ore. This ore
will be auded to the uotput of
the Bethlehem Companys pro
duct.
The Parcel Post has so greatly
reduced the business of the ex
press company in Meadville, Pa.
that the Adans Express Company
has withdrawn rrom the field.
Congress is again asked to
make reading a requirement of
entrance for all immig'rants. Its
likely to pass both houses of Con
gress, If it does it will rtdu'e
migration from fi t en to twen y
per cent.
Meeting of Medicial Society
At a meeting of the Alamance
County J^edical Society held on
Jan. 20, 1913, Among others,
the following iesolutions vs hi'^h
were passed weri requested to
be published in our County pap
ers. 1st. That the Board of
Health is requopted by i'r.'.s ?.(>
ciety to take the neccessary steps
to prevent patients al'llicted with
Tabercluosis ,fro:n wurlvin^- in
cotton mills. As'such^ pauents
are a menace to the health of
others, and so wot king
preclude the chances of ttieir
own recovery.
2nd That the .\lmance County
Medicial Society Endorse the
action f the Board of Health
for said County, in employing a
Superintendent of Health for all
his time, at a salary of two
thousand dollars, per annum.
Dr. L. A. Walker Pres,
Dr, W. 0. Moser Sec.
The weather man says that
this is the warmest January we
have had in forty-two years, and
he adds that grim winter is on
his way down the hill.
Buli Do.;;s.
The city fathers passed an
ordinance Monday night requir
ing all bull dogs that are per-
:oritted on the streets to be
muzzled, or the owner pay a fine
of t'.vo d.ollars a day for each
violation? After so many offense
the police are to kill all unmuzz
led btli dogs. That’s doing
good-boys do it again.
We admire Gov. Elect WilsDns
good Presbyterian qualities and
if he cuts out the inaugural ball
with its “Bunny Hug” Turkey
■'Tjfot” ”Hoochee-Coochee’^
dances and many other disgrace
ful acts of life that lower the
m >rals of a nation we will praise
him still more.

Royal Cabell of tii Ii.teiaaj
Revenue Department at Wasn-
ington D. C. opened the doors of
his personal feelings on Judges

Federal Bench, a few days ago
when he charged Judge Boyd
with defending Nick Williams

Placing tlie Blame.
Norway, South Carolina, has
paid Gov, Blease the complement
of carrying out his own ideas.
A few days ago a negro accused
)f a minor offense was taken
I’rom jail and lynched. On his ^
breast was pinned a card bear
ing the inscription, “Friends of
Governor Blease''
If futher comment bn this
circumstance is necessary it is
made only for the benefit of
those who may have overlooned
this executive’s recent infl ama
tory attack on the constitution
and the reconized methods of
administration of justice.
Gov. Blease mayor not accept
the incident as a complement.
Whether he does or not’ the re
sponsibility for it must be placed
squarely before his own doors.
His influence played as great a
part in the taking of that life as
though he himself had a hand on
the rope that choked it out.

New Death Method.
Salt Lake City, Utah., Jan.
19. — The method to be used here
after in the execution of crimin
als in the state of Utah has
become a topic widely discussed
since the legislature convened
two weeks ago. The latest idea
expres^j^J is thit condemned
criminals beallo\\'ed to take their
own lives, after they have ex
hausted every means to have
the death sentence set aside.
The state law provides that
condemned criminals be executed
either by shooting or hanging,
the choice to be made by the
person to be execuied. Governor
iipry In his messnge to the legis-
latu re has recommended that the
state adopt the electric chsir.
Judge Thomas Marioneux, an
attorney of this city, has issued
a statement in which he f^et
ifourth the agitation of the
Chinese custbms permitting a
condemned criminal to commit
sucide.

The strike of dress and shirt
waist makers, o«e of seven
trades involved in the walkout,
was settled at noon^ today and
most of the 37,000 virorkers will
return to the shops next monday.
The difficulty had threatened
a serious shortage in the supply
of spring garments.
The term of the agreement
includes a general increase in
wages, shorter hours and a per
manent system of arbitration.
These terms did not satisfy
some of the workers, however
and a bigmeedng c tiled to ratify
the agreement, broke up in con
fusion, When the strikers learn
ed that the advance of wages
amounted to a maximum 10 per
cent., many declared they would
not return to work and rushed
from the hall, while the leaders
pleaded with them to remain.
The garment workers' striks
proper continues with about 150, -
000 workers involved.
