Two-thirds of the world’s production of petroleum during 1910 is credited to the United States. The development ot new oil supplies during the year in creased the country’s production to over 200,000,000 barrels, which surpass the phenomeal production of 1907, 1908 and 1909. The year’s yield was mor« than the whole world produced seven yaars ago, according to statistics pre pared by D. T. Day, of the Geological Survey. Comment On Various Mat ter. Recently a skating rink was estab lished in the ancient borough of Mock- sville and it seems to have stirred up trouble right. The preachers are pro claiming against it and one preacher, whose sermon was published in the local paper says '‘there is more danger to morals in the skating rink than in round dancing.” The editor of the Herald is a new man in the community and he has declined to take sides, but he don’t want it understood that he is “afeard,’ Senator Simmons and Representative Godwin Wednesday '•ailed on President Taft and presented him with a large framed copy of a song written and de dicated to Mr. Taft by Mrs. William P.

It is said to be the first song dedicated to‘‘Our President” Mr. Taft expressed appreciation of receiving the attention of the North Carolina ladies. Guilford Saved Over $10,- 000. Raleigh News and Observer. Ten thousand dollars and more—or to be exact, $10,395 —was the amount Guilford county saved last year by pay ing its county officers fair salaries. $7,975,77 went to build good roads and $2,419.34 went to help to help educate the children. And the county officers were paid fair salaries—quite as much as they could have earned in any pri vate business—and Guilford has as capable public officials as any county in North Carolina. Why should not every large county go and do likewise? As An Agency For Good. As the years go by it becomes more and more recognized that an ho'^est feailess nawspaper is an agency for good and a foe to the bad, for the dis honest man fears the honestly conduct ed newspaper as he fe;rs the broad light of the sun when trying to break into a house. The glare of publicity as given by the unmuzzled' journals that mold public opinion has scorched and withered many a vicious scheme, sent many a scoundel scurrying to obscurity, as a rat to his hole; saved multiplied thousands to those who else would have been deceived and robbed, and brought to the bar of justice many a criminal who else would have gone unwhipped of justice.

M. Boll Weevil’s Havoc. A striking illustration of the damage wrought by the boll weevil is found in a statement of the size of the cotton crop in Jefferson county Tennessee, for the last five years—before and after the weevil made its appearance: In 1907 Jefferson county made 20,145 bales: in 1908, 19,062 bales; in 1909, 7,791 bales; in 1910, 3,404 bales. There is no way to get at the record of such crops as corn, potatoes, pears, molasses, hogs, cattle etc., but it is known that there has been a steady increase, and that this year the farmers of thi»t sec tion have produced more foodstuffs than ever before in their lives. A Clear Insight. If there is any business on earth, in which a man may get a clear insight into human character, it is the news paper business. An Editor comes in contact^ with men of the highest in tegrity, perfect gentleman, jast as honest as the days are long, and then there is a class of dishonest sneaks who it would be dangerous to leave with their dead grandfather, if there was a silver quarter on his eyes. There is a vast difference between the man wh# cannot pay, and the fellow who deli berately tries to beat an Editor out of an honestly due subscription. We hive a contempt tor the latter class. Forty Million Dollar Loan To Guatemala The projected $40,000,000 loan of the Guatemalan government will be placed immediately upon the convening of con gress, the first of March, according to an official cable dispatch receieded at New Orleans Saturday from Guat emala City.

The Durham Herald says: At a meeting Friday of the board of health, the more or less expected com pulsory vaccination order was given with some new ordinances that go into immediate effect The failure to comply with the law exposes one to fines and repeated fines and the order is rigorous. It provides a $5 penalty for every day that one fails to comply wit h the law, though there is no suggestion that the police hold the patient while the doctor applies Mulford’s extract. If one has the money to put up the fines, the law makes no provision covering that case. Oakdale Rfd. 5. We are having some blustry weather, seems like spring is trying to come.

Investigation of the vote buying charges in every county of the Eigh teenth congressional district of Canhons district—was planned Monday, and following the inquiry into the sale of votes in Vermillion county th« question will be moved to Edgar county. The exodus of local politicians, who know of the vot« scandal, has ham pered the grand jury considerably. Vote selling is said to have been as prevalent in Edgar, Kankakee and Iro quois counties, also in Cannon’s dis trict, as it was elsewhere. Religion should make us happy, but only as it makes us holy.—T. Calvin McClelland Giving Away The Game. “If any proof were needed that the subsidy shriekers are more concerned to loot the public treasury than to up build an American merchant marine, it could be found in convincing measure in the uncompromising opposition which they offer to any and all pro posals to extend American reg^try to to America-owned bottoms engaged in the foreign trade and built abroad, The New York Commercial, a thick and thin subsidy organ, undertakes to Demolish Senator Cummins’ argument for free ships by declaring that re peal of the existing prohibition would not avail to bring one ton of foreign- built shipping owned by American cap ital under the American flag and that, therefore, the sole result would be to “furnish a profitable market for for- eigfn shipbuilders, while meantime our own shipyards would be shutting down for kck of work.” In the first place, how does Commer cial know that American capital would not invest in foreign-built tonnage for service nnder the American flag, if our navigation laws were so amended as to admit such tonnage to American registry? On the contrary, the recent announcement that the United Fruit Company proposes to ask Congress for special permission to operate its fleet under the American flag makes it cer tain that repeal of the prohibition in question would add to the American merchant marine at least one hundred thousand tons of deep-sea shipping. And if this tonnage now flying the British flag is sufHciently anxious for American registry to apply for a special enabling act, certainly the chances are even that at least a large part of the eight or nine hundred thou sand tons of American-owned shipping now operating under foreign flags would change to the American, if given an opportunity so to do.”—Virginia Pilot.

Open Letter. Mebane, N. C. Jan 30th, 1911. Mr. O. F. Crowson, Editor, Burlington News, Burlington, N. C, Dear Sir:- I regret to take issue with any one through the News Papers, however as you have tried .to make a political question of the matter of Salaries for our County officers; I want to take issue with you on a few of your statements. You say had the Repub licans been successful during the last election that they would not have agitated (his question. In regard to this would say that I personally col lected data from the different Counties that had adopted the salary system, and I brought this matter before the last Republican County Convention and it was voted unan’jnously to advocate the salary System for our county officers, which was also embodied in our plat form, and the Republican Candidates during the last campaign favored this system and pledged themselves, if elected, to put this system into effect, and you know the above statements are correct and you have no right to say they were not honest in these statements. I also note that you suggest that, this is a matter for the next Demo cratic Convention to settle, and you intimate that no Republican has a right to even suggest any thing that they may think is good for the county, and as to this statement, I want to say that it is true that I have ^advocated salaries for our county officers, not on political grounds but pureley on business grounds and I thought that it was to the inter est of our county, and I honestly be lieved would result in a saving of at least four to five thousand dollars annually, and I want to say that while I belong to the manority party at this time, that I am a citizen and tax payer of our county and I believe that when matters of such importance to the tax payers of the county is in discussion, that I have as much right to express my opinion as any other citizen of the county, and I believe that the majority party will not only accord me this privilege, but will welcome any sug gestions that I or any one else has to present, if they think that it is to the interest of our county. I want to say to you that so far as I am concerned that politics has not entered into this question and I have so stated in the letters that you have published, that this was a matter for the citizens and tax payers to settle, and I only sug gested that a Mass Meeting be called, not for Democrats or Republicans, but for the citizens and tax payers of Alamance County, to discuss this matter and then if the people, regard less of politics, favored this measure, to them petition our representative, Mr. Long, to introduce and pass this measure through the present session of the L^slatnre. I note that you state that the present county officals would not be effected, even should this Legislatura put our officers on salaries, you are correct as to this statement, however should we Wait two years longer then it would be four years before we could put our county officers on salaries. I urge you and the other papers to drop politics for the time being and to put this measure on broad business lines and lets get together, regardless of pDlitics and have the present Legislature to give us relief, and then after Dec. the 1st, 1912, we can put our county offi cials on salaries and save our county five thousand dollars annually. I suggest and urge the Press of the county to print a call in this week’s issue for a Mass Meeting to be held at Graham on Monday, February the 6th to discuss this question. Yours truly. W. E.

General Passenger Agent. On Lake Halcyon’s Shores In a concrete grave on the shores of Lake Haycyon* in Mount Auburn cem- etary, there was laid a bronze coffin contaming the body of Mrs. Mary Baker Glover Eddy, founder of the Christian Science denomination. On the coffin rested a bronze box enclosing a Complete set of the works of Mrs. Eddy, together with all recent Christ ian Science publications, while the sil ver plate benesth gave her name and the dates of her birth and death. The ceremony was attended by the direc tors of the church and scores of its strongest supporters Judge Clifford P, Smith, first reader of the mother church, repeated the Ninety-first Psalm and the last two verses in Jude, which was read at the funeral Dec. 8, Then the grave was sealed. Later the spot will be marked by a mausoleum. Gen. Henry M. Baker of Bow, N. H. Mrs Eddy’s cousin, and executor of her will, was the only member of the family in attendance, but it was an nounced that all claims to other burial places had been waved. So the church buried its leader. Since the funeral service of Mrs. Eddy, Dec- 8, the bronze coffin has re- pos.ed in the receiving tomb of Mount Auburn, with a guard beside it day and night. The bronze plate covering the fea tures of Mrs. Eddy was pushed pack, and one by one the little company gazed for the last time on her placid face.—Ex. A Pension Rule. Washington Herald. One of the rules of the Pension Bu reau is that no remarried widow of a war verteran may receive a pension if she were not married to her first hus band at the time of his army service. The government holds that the only remarried widows entitled to govern ment aid are those who stayed behind while their first husbands went to the front for their country. Some little time ago Senator Burton received an application from a woman who, it appeared, had not married until several years after the close of the war. The Senator had his secretary write a letter setting forth the statute in such cases, made and provided. In a day or so he got an answer from the woman reaffirming her claims for a pension. “It is true,” she said, “that we were not married until after the war, but I'll have you know that we were engaged before he went away to war, and if I'd had my way. we would have* been married right then ” And in proof of the fact that they were engaged during the war, she went ahead to relate the full circums tances of the proposal, where they were sitting, how they happened to delay getting married, and all about it. Uncle Daniel Tells Ghost. Of Daniel Conners, an old colored man of seventy odd years of age who lives up the railroad about a mile West of Mebane talks reminiscently of the days long past, and gone. Old uncle Daniel, as he is familiary known is as polite as a French danceing master, and is one of the old time darkies that is fast going. We asked uncle Daniel if he believed in ghost.and haunts, he answered sure sir he did, he had seen them plenty of times, and knew for a certain there was ghost. He said the first time he had ever seen a ghost was when he was a young man just grown up. He said he had been over to Captain Johnson’s place to see ^ome friends, and was returning home late at night. He had got down near Haw Creek Cross ing, the moon was way over in the West,^n fact it was nearly in the tree tops, when I saw something floating in the air, low down to the road, just ahead of me, I felt kinder squeamish, but just pushed on, in a little while the ghost got up closer to me, and the air begin to feel chilly, and I could smell something like new dug up earth. This was too much for me, so I moved up a little faster, and as I did the ghost put on more speed, then I b^an to get real scared, it was not long before I was shooting down that road like a race horse. When I got to Haw Creek I struck the bridge about in spots, just as I landed on the other side there was some patrolers hollered to me to halt, I told them I was going after the doctor, they shot at me, but I went on, when I got home I was so scared and so tired I did not know what to do, I was sick and could not work for two days. No sir I never seen any ghost walking, they all seem to float, but they are getting scarcer and scarcer all the time, I seldom see a ghost now days. Now as to hants, it is different there is a great many more hants now than there was before the war, but a hant is different from a ghost, a ghost smells like a grave yard, but a hant now days smells like com licker, but they both move round easy like they wore rubber shoes. I aint near skerd of hants as I am of ghost, a ghost is awfull thing to think about, when you see one it makes the cold swet come out. Yes sir I will tell you some more about ghost some time, 1 must hurry long, I have a well to clean out. COMTESIJO CLOSE, IT IS NEAtLY THE EED We shall soon close piano contest.
