Most of our merchants took inven tories the first part of the past week and found stocks an accounts cre dits and cash in a very satisfactory condition, . Miss Ora Holt left Monday for Haw- River where she holds a position after spending Christmas here with her par ents Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Holt. Interesting Christmas tree exercises were held at the Methodist Protestant Church of Mebane on Christmas eve. It was a happy time for the Sunday school children. The attention of Tne Leader readers is directed to the advertisment of H. E. Wilkinson and Co. They express kind wishes for their patrons and so licit your visits to their store and in spection of stock. The 25 per cent reduction made on all clothing at the Mebane Store Company is a tempting proposition. If you need anything in clothing now, or think you will in the near future, it will be well for you to see this firm. There is plenty of work for the young mens Business Association for the new year, and a meeting called at an early date, and a plan for pushing things to the limit inaugerated. There is a plenty for the association to do, will it do it? Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Johnson and little daughter, Mary of Pittsburg, Pa. who have been the guest of Colonel Hicks of Oxford spent a short while here, the guest of Dr. and Mrs. Carl P. Norris, and left for Mebane, to visit relatives.—Durham Sun. The Citizens of Los-Angeles Col. propose meeting violence with, vigrilence They will organize a vigilent committee who will take it upon themselves to get rid of the undersirable citizen. The labor agitator, and anarchist fiend will be requested to leave, and if he fails to heed the warning, there will be found a way to accelerate his move ment. It seems the only way to meet these devils. Dr. B^man, the presiding Elder of this district will be in Mebane and preach in the Methodist church Sunday night of January the 15” Rev. M. M. McFarland, will preach regulary in the Methodist church at Mebane the third Sundays and night. Rev. Mr. McFarland, went to Hillsboro Tuesday night to marry Mr. J. E. Turner^ to Miss Bertie Brown, Our friend Murry Ferguson, had a jolly time over in Caswell during the holidays," Among other delights, he was at a country dance, and swung owners and went right and left through with the boys and g^irls all right, Muyry is a good one. The Proprietors of the Piedmont Warehouse publish a card of thanks to their patrons in this weeks issue. The Piedmont Warehouse has done splendid business so far. They are a nice clever set of people who will treat you alright, all the time. The estimated wealth of this country to day is one hundred and twenty five billion dollars. We have several bil- lionairs. Think for a moment if you can, what this stu^endeous sum means How on earth could a man acquire a billion unless he had a government in collusion with him robbing the people? Holmes Warren & Co change their advertisment in this weeks Leader, This popular firm have enjoyed an unsual successfull trade the past year they have done well and the Leader congratulates them, on their good fortune. The entire management of the firm is in the hands of two poular young men. Tne Standard Oil Company through its attorney tells the court at Raleigh it will never pay one cent of a fine, let it impose as much as it sees fit. The Standard would not talk that way to the people of Texas, nor would it to the people of North Carolina if it did not belive it could buy up the whole outfit. Attention of our readers is directed to the change of advertisment of the Commercial Bank. This financial in stitution is growing in strength and popularity all the time. It is in the hands of a safe and conservative board of directors. That clever, and com petent gentleman Mr. Sam Morgan is its cashier. The PresbyterianSunday school gave an entertainment Monday in the young mens business hall, the exercises em braced games, recitations and vocal music, they charged a cake of soap for admission and collected quite a nice pile of soap to send to the orphans The lives of John Br Moisant and Arch Hoxsey sacrificed on last Satur day, one at New Orleans and the other atLos-Angles in their daring flights above the clouds, Hoxsey was straining to reach an attitude of 12000 feet, the highest point reached by any human, he failed and fell to his death. We would be glad to have some one andespecialy the Charlotte Observer explain to us why numbers of leading newspapers so often make it a point to redicule Charleston. These News papers may think it very funny, be cause it has got to be popular, but it impresses us as being in poor tast. These disparaging remarks about an old Southern, city not only exhibit poor taste and bad spirit, but they will tend to do that old Southern city unmerited harm. It seems to have been a surprise to some that the Republicans did not dis cover prior to the election that Butler would cost the party ten thousand votes Well they did discover it, just the same. The Editor of the Leader heard a prominent Republican remark two months before the election that the burden of carrying Butler wuuld cost the Republican party ten thousand votes, and the Leader so stated it at that time. There are some people who never hear any noise until they have busted a rubber baloon that they had blown up. Annual Meeting. The Annual Meeting of the Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Association Alamance Division— will be held in the Court House in Graham, N. C. Saturday Jany. 7th. 1911. A full afetendence is requested Wishes The Leader Well. Mr. T. H. Cheek who moved from this vicinity about a year ago, and went to Groldburg Ky., writes us as fol lows: Dear Sir- Find one dollar enclosed to renew roy subscription for the Leader. I can not well do without it, as it brings me news every week from my old friends. May the year 1911 be one of the hap- pest and most brosperous, is the wish of an old friend. T. H. Cheek, The writer had the misfortune to get his right hand badly powder burned by the explosion of a sky rocket thac he was trying to fire off Christmas eve- night. T. H. C. Attempt Suicide. Ex Judge Spencer B, Adams of Greensboro attempted suicide Sunday night at the Keely Institute by in flicting a dangerous wound upon his throat, various reasuns are assigned for the act, politics, finances and whiskey, perhaps a combination. The wound is not necessarily dangerous un less complication set in. And if the Standard Oil company is adjudged guilty and forced to restore the former prices we fail to see where the people of Raleigh are to be bene fited.—Durham Herald. And if the Standard Oil Company wins out, and succeeds in driving the Indian Oil Companjr out of business and restores oil to its old original price, which they are sure to do we again fail to see where Raleigb will be beni- fited, in fact we did not understand in the start that attorney Bicket was making a lesral fight in the interest of Raleigh alone. Death of an Old Citizen of Cross Roads. The death angle came to our neigh borhood on Dec. 31 and claimed for its victim our beloved brother Sydney Y. Baynes. Mr. Baynes was in his nine- tyeth year. Mr. Baynes was a noble citizen and will be greatly missed. Mr. Baynes served in the civil war. He is survived by a wife and nine children, and a number of grand and great grand children, and hosts of friends who will morn their 1 >ss. May God bless the berived ones. By a friend. Maj. Morehead Dead. Major Motley Morehead of Greens boro died at 4 o’clock Sunday morning last. Major Morehead was president of the Guilford Battleground associa tion, where he labored antirinely for rhe preservation of a spot which hj be lieved of great historic value and which the people of his state and also of the nation have come to so regard through his zeal. * * The members of tha State Legisla ture are assembling in Raleigh for the begining of the session of 1911 which s Wednesday of this week. Fire In Greensboro. A stubborn fire on south Elm St. Greensboro, did between sevenfy-five and one hundred thousand dollars dam age Monday evening. Isaacson, H. M Bable, J. H- West, and J. Opple- mm were either burned out or had their stocks badly damaged by water Splencid work of the fire company and favorable atmospheric conditions con tributed to restricting the fire to cer tain limits, otherwise on of the best blocks in Greensboro might have went down in ashes. Eight Car Loads of Whis key. There was 3 car loads of packages of whiskey taken to Winston from Greensboro on Monday December 19. Tuesday there was two car loads taken up. Wendesday there was three car loads, making a total of eight car load* of whiskey to Winston in the first three days of the week of the 19th. Now Davis of Wilson would say it taint so, ” blit it was so just the same, this blind tiger GoJiar not \rith- standing. Old and experienced freight handlers,tell us they never have known so much whiskey handled on the roads in the time abpat Christmas for a like period in their life time. Near Cross Roads Hello everybody I wish you all a hap py and prosperous new year. It seems we had a very sad accident on Monday in Christmas when Mr. Fred Ward age 14 years was accidently shot and killed, it was very sad indeed. We had a lot of friends from Rox- boao, Milton and Blanch N. C. in our midst Christmas. Mrs. Charlie Brooks, Miss Sallie Brooks and Phlem and Bob white visit ed friends in Roxboro last week. Mr. Charlie Oakley and son Clarence went to Greensboro this week on busi ness. We are glad to note that Mr. Otho Wilson is much improved at this writ ing.

In that regular addition was an advertisment upon a seperate sheet printed upon it, because we could not make room in the regular adition for this advertisment, Upon this seperate sheet was printed at its head Supple ment to the Mebane Leader Dec. 8th. In the body of the paper a reference was made to this special advertisment. After the papers were mailed our po3t master Mr. Arthur White wrote to the third assistant P. M. General and asked his ruling upon it, he an- Wered that it was not a legal supple ment and would be subject to pos tage at the rate of 1 cent for every two ounces or fraction thereof, upon each individualy addressed wrapper. Now this is business with a hurrah. After an EJditor had done that he had been informed, to comply with the law, he is told that this is not a supplement because it does not contain a little ten line piece of reading matter. These wise owls at Washington have technical requirements to catch a little weekly, when it is a known fact that the gov ernment has been hauling mail over this country from purely advertising sheets in car load lots. This is sent at one cent a pound, for instant “Comfort” at Augusta Main, and Hap py Home, each with a maihng list of a million and half. The Red Book Magazine of Chicago and McClure, Cosmopalitan and a number of other Magazins, that are making money by the millions by 33 per cent of advertis ment, by burdenihg the mails, and it is alright at the Department, but this is in perfect keeping with the way in which this great government is oper ated. The Girl From Rectors. “The Girl from Rectors” is making an anual Southern tour. She showed up in Danville Va. and Greensboro, last week with a few of the most objection able features eliminted, just enough to slightly modify its gidy, dare devil impulsive pruriency, but there is still left a strong and repulsife odour of the smutty, fulsome and obsene. To make the “girl from Rectors” a fit play for the stage everything would have to be cut out except the name The only way to make the girl from Rectors decent is to kill it. It has not a single suggestion of decency about it. It is curiosity that may lead people to the exhibition of the •‘Girl from Rectors” the first time it would be self respect that, would pre vent them from wanting to see it the second time. But what is the use, the Girl from Rectors IS a mirrowed reflection of the roten end of our assumed select society It is an exhibition of base obscenity, and lust hid beneath the flimsy gauze of lace, silks and satins of the vulgar rich# Nor need we stare with open mouthed wonder, at the “Girl from Rectors” as seen on the stage in the glare of the foot lights. We believe there are a plenty of Girls from Rec tors in the larger cities of this, and other states. They are sometimes leaders in your so called best society. You will some time find them meek eyed, sad faced, with an expression of extreme piety, sitting in your church pews, sometimes pressing for room at the alter where the holy sacremen# is administered, always with the preachers salery promply paid, which they have worked for with their little pink fingers? Popular with the preacher, and popular with the male portion of the congregation, be cause they are so very pius? Then the scenc shifts and some dark night you will see this same little bundle of goodness neatly disguised in thick wraps slipping along some dark alley, until she reaches a waiting automobile, and her rich affinity, she is whisked away to some quiet trysting place where the modem city “Girl from Rec tors” exhibits her real self. The dif ference being that she and her affinity are usualy sharp enough to escape detection, and as long as she does, a gullable public swallows the salacious stuff with a smack of relish. The girl on the stage from Rectors gets caught (Up with every night she appears. MALONE-WARREN A Beautiful Home ding. Wed’ For Stealing Two Cents, A Boston man has been sentenced to two years in prison for stealing two cents. It was a saying of Solon, the ancient Athenian lawgiver, that laws are like cobwebs—for, if any trifling or power less thing falls into them, they hold it fast; while, if it is is something heavier, it breaks through and is off. We have known a poor old colored man who had a fondness for fowls to be sentenced 3 yeirs to the peniten tiary for stealing a couple of hens and a number sent up for equaly as trivial offer.ces, and then we have known a Guggen heimer to be isent to congress for stealing five million dollars. It is the poor, and powerless offender that the law seeks to hold as examples of punishment. Mebane, N. C. December 29—10 A beautiful home wedding took place at the elegant country home of Mr. and Mrs Brice Warren at Corbett, N. C. Wednesday afternoon, December 28th, at half past two b’lock when Mr. Walter Yancey Malone and Miss Nan nie Bertha Warren were. united in holy matrimony. Rev. F. M. Hawley, Presbyterian minister of Mebane, officiating. The parlor in which the ceremony was preformed was artistically decor ated, the color scheme being green and white. Before the ceremony Miss Myrtle Wilkinson sang “Because God made you mine”—after which the bridal par ty entered to the strains of Lohen grin’s March, beautifully rendered by Miss Cornelia Wilkinson; The Gro'>m entering with his best man Mr. Joseph S. "Vincent of Mebene, followed by the bride handsomely gowned in blue cloth, drapped with chiffon, gloves to match and carrying a shower boquet of Brides Roses, with her Maid of hon or Miss Bessie Corbett, gowned in pink Messaline, white gloves and a boquet of carnations. The Bride is an accomplished and charming young lady. The Groom is a successful business man of Mebane, being President of the Tyson-Malone Hardware Company. The popularity of the couple was evedenced by the large number of costly and attractive presents. The Holmes Warren and Co Piano Contest Decided r Messers Holmes and Warrens Piano Contest came to a close Christmas eve night, the votes was counted Monday by a committe composed of Mr. Joe Vincent and Mr. George E. Holt, who after canvasing the votes carfully made the fcl’owing awards, to Miss Nettie Ray the piano, with over a million votes, to Mrs. L. B.

A special over leased wire says a crushing blow was struck at “black- hand” kidnaping gangs when Maria Rappa and Stanislao Pattenza, heads of the abduction gang which stole Giuseppe Longo and Michael Rizzo, two Brooklyn children, were sentenced to not less than 25 years and not more than 49 years and ten months, the woman in Auburn and the man in Sing Sing prison. This is a crushing blow alright. After forty years of stealing children, a woman and a man get a sentence to the penetintory, and to the “black hand is struck a crushing blow.” If the i>air had of been bound ticcht with ban^ of steel wire and thrown into a steaming lime vat face downward, you might have talked of a crushing blow, but less than this would not begin to measure up with the offence. The automobile industry of the United States is said to provide a livehood for one million persons, and this without taking account of sur geons and undertakers. ANNUAL BANQUET Of the Young Men's Bus iness Association. The annual banquet of the Young men’s business association was given in there hall Christmas eve~night. It was well attended, infact we believe with slight exceptions the entire mem bership was present. The Menu, embraced Cream of oysters, Queen Olives, Pickles, and Celery, Sandwiches, French Sardines, Salted wafers, Quail on toast, Sarato ga Chips, Port wine, 1742 vintage— Salted peanuts. Cigars. Budweiser and Filsener. To say there was a delightful time would be putting it extremely mild. It was Christmas time, and a generous flow of good fellowship. As the crowd of prominent business men were to gether it was thought by some to be opportune to bring to the attention of the association some practical matters but on motion of Mr. W. E. White this wap defered to some preeeding m»eting. Mr. David Katz agreed with this view of the matter, in fact urged it in a brief talk. There was brief speeches by Mr. Puryear, Mr, Arthur White, Prof. Crawford, Mr. Sam White Mr. Will Corbett, Mr. W. E. White, Mr. David Katz, Mr. Ed White, Mr. Felix Graves, Mr. Will Murry, and Mr. J. O. Foy, Mr. David Katz was called on for a Solo, and responded with his deep mellow voice. Mr. Felix Graves had been requested to preside as toast master, but begged that he be excused, he had been suf fering from dumb chills, Mr. George Johnson presided in his stead. The banquetters adjomed at 12 o’clock to go home and hang up their stockings, Mr. Will White was expecting Santa Claus to put an order for a train load of furniture in his. Mr. Arthur White was expecting an order for several car loads of iron Beds, and Mr. Will Cor bett was looking for an order for a dozen car loads of Mattress and Wire springs. Mr. L. S. Straughn was looki'^g for customers for a half a doz en fine Alamance County farms. Mr. Lewis Puryear was expecting an order for a dozen car loads of his chairs, while all the merchants present would go home and dream of stores full of customers for 1911. And some how or other we believe that Santa S^ius is going to come near granting their wishes for the 'coming year. It was an unusual pleasant occasion. On motion there was a standing vote of thanks tendered Mr. Johnie Holmes and others for supervising and having prepared so excelent a banquet. The Editor of the Leader was present and very much enjoyed the occasion. MARRM6EDEC.21$T. Beautiful Church Wed ding of Miss Minnie Ross and Miss W. R, Kimball At the First Presbyterian church in Concord on Wednesday December 21st at 7 o’clock Miss Minnie Ross, only daughter of Mrs. P, B. [Means, and Mr W. R. Kimball, a well known business man of Tar River, were united in mar riage. The event was of unusual in terest to the people of Concord and throughout that section on account of the popularity and prominence of the contracting parties and a large and representative aucience witnessed the ceremony. The handsome church was beautifully decorated for the occasion. The pulpit was covered in snowy white banked with beautiful ferns and cut flowers and the large arch over the alter was festooned with smilax, out of which flashed the glow of countless electric bulbs, making a scene of unusual beau ty and loveliness. A few minutes before the time for the wedding party to enter Miss Laura Noell sweetly sang “Because.” At the first soft touch of Lohengrin’s wedding march, rendered by Miss Lucy Lore, the ushers entered from the two main vestibules, Mr. * Victor Means from the right and Mr. C. B. Wagoner from the* left, closely followed by Mr. Fred Ross and Mr. Galloway Ross, from left and right, respectively. The Maid of Honor, Miss Gertrude Lafferty be comingly gowned in blue crepe de chine over taffeta and carried a beautiful bo quet of pink roses. She was closely followed by the bride, gowned in white silk lace over measaline, carrying a huge boquet of bride roses with a shower of lilies of the valey, leaning on the arm of her brother, Mr. J. Lindsay Ross, who gave her away. They were joined at the alter by the groom and his best man, Mr. F. D. Brummett, of Oxford, who had entered from the right vestibule, where the ceremony was performed by Rev. Dr. J. M. Grier, the beautiful and impres sive Episcopal ceremony being used. During the ceremoney Shubert’s Ser enade was softly rendered by Miss Lora. After the marriage vows had been spoken Mendelessohn’s march was played as a recessional and the audi ence dispersed. Mr. and Mrs. Kim ball left on No. 35 for Florida, where they will spend several weeks. Mrs. Kimball is the only daughter of Mrs. P. B. Means, and is exceedingly popular where she has lived most of her life and is a young lady of highest culture, possessing many no ble qualities of both mind and heart. Mr. Kimball is a prominent business man of Tar River and is closely iden tified with the social and business life of that section.—Concord Tribune. “Miss Ross is a sister of Mr, Fred Ross that popular traveling salesman of the White Furniture Co. of Mebane Miss Ross will be remembered by a number of friends here who will wish her bon-voyage, in her future life.” Candidates in Piano Contest.
