forget it, hour 4 o,clock P. ,M.
The picnic at Cook’s Mill near Meb
ane was well attended. There was a
iarge crowd of pretty girls, and ugly
boys from Graham, and Haw River.
Mr. John Holmes spent Easter in
Lexington. The boys seem to think
Johnie is trying to make a deal up
there, well good luck to him, he is a
a very clever young man.
The closing exercising of the Mebane
Graded School will take place the
fourth and fifth of May. A very in
teresting program will be prepared for
that occassion.
Mr. D. C. Dudley and wife of Dur
ham came up Thursday to visit friends
«nd relatives. They stoped at Mr.
T. R. Squires on Rfd. 2. Mr. Dudley
is a compositor in the office of J. T.
Christian.
Mr. J, W. Covington, had the misfor
tune to have one of his wagon hcrses
legs badly cut Friday evening last. It
seems that one of the main arteries
just above the knee joint was nearly
aevered. The horse came near bleeding
to death.
Arrangements have been made to
vcure the services of Prof. J. L.
Ludlow to do the civil engineerifig work
for the new paving of Mebane. It
would be difficult to find Mr. Ludow’s
equal fo- this class of work. He is a
past master, and will do a satisfactory
job.
Raleigh promises to be a warm mun-
cipality from now until the election in
in May. The old timers are going to
have ^e fight of their lives. They
may not loose out, but there are a
number who will be on the anxious
seat until after the election.
In this weeks Leader will be found
and advertisment of the C. B. Ellis
Machine and Music Co. This concern
is placing a number of organs and
pianos in this section, and they give
satisfaction. If you need an instru
ment drop Mr. Ellis a card. He will
be glad to serve you.
The smart Alexs in our last Legis
lative who wanted to do something,
got a bill through the general assem
bly prohibiting the keeping of beer in
lockers, in club rooms, but they made
no provision against fellows keeping
whiskey in lockers. This is alright for
y^ung men whom they wanted to
roake confirmed drunkards, and may
he it suits one Davis at Wilson.
It is suggested by some scientist
that as a monument to peace it would
he a good idea to shoot a large can
non ball beyond the earths gravation,
*nd let it revolve in space around
^‘s globe as a symbol of peace. The
is an excellent one but we do
*'®t believe it posible to invent a gun
with carrying capacity serficient to
^ve a ball beyond the attraction of
the earth, and if it were posible it
'vould be imposlblc to force up a ball
sufficiently large to be seen after it
reached the stella sphere.
Mr. Will McAdoo, of Greensboro,
blowed into our town Thursday night
in an automooile on his way from
Durham, one tire was off, and the other
one in bad shape when he got to
Mebane. The boys seemed to think the
trouble was due to his making such
tremendeous speed trying to reach here
in time for the show that night.
Tennessee Legislative
Farce Unchanged.
There is absolutely no change in the
Tennessee Legislature situation so far
ai known. The fusionist? who ran
away to Decatur, Ala., were in and
f3W of the regulars remained over
Sunday in Nashville. Both houiei are
scheduled to meet again Monday.
A Good Section Master
The Southern Railway Company has
had as s-'ction mt^ster working the
road with a force of hands for some
time past a young man by the name of
John Pruitt, from Morrisville, N. C-
John does not look to be more than a
boy, but he is one among the best
section masters that has worked the
road near here for some time. He is a
bundle of energy and activelty, a fellow
of good judgement who believes in
doing hia work thoroughly, and- well*
The road between Efiand, and Haw
River, lain better eonditlon than it has
been it a long time. The trains run so
imoothly that they do not leem to be
making much speed, bat they get there
just the lame..
It Seems Inevetable*
The United States broke o;>en a
pandora box when it annexed the Phili-
pins, and it is imposible to foretell
whan it will see the last of the evils
that will result from the selection, and
fate seems to have decreed other tro
ubles for it. The Mexican situation is
frought with grave danger, and recent
indication seem to point to ultimate
and immediate results. But let this
government get complicated with Mex-
can, and she will have trouble sure.

Three Candidates For the
Death Chair Now in
The next electrocution for capital
punishment at the State prison is sche
duled for May 5. Lewis West, the
Wilson county murderer of Deputy
Sheriff Mumford, is to be the victim
On May the 12th there will be the ele
ctrocution of Norman Lewis, the
Spring Hope murderer, who killed the
chief of police there. There are no
n^ore dates set until July 30, when tne
Yancey county murderer, Charles Mur
phy, is scheduled to pay the death pen
alty. He has an appeal to the Sup
reme Court pending, that may defer
execution. Furthermore, he is being
represented to be insane and this may
stay execution. He claims to know-
nothing of the killing. He was drink
ing and his victim refused to give him
a drink in the public road. For this
Morphy drew his revolver and shot
him.
A Fine Record.
A fine record was made last month
by Mr. Chas. D. Johnston’s cow. He
tells us that she gave 163 gals, of
strained milk from which was made
591bs. of butter. Besides about two
gallons a day used by his family and
butter for the family, he sold during
the mon*hof March, butter and butter
milk to the amount of $22.11. But for
the fact we know Mr. Johnston to be a
truthful man, we would say it is a
“fish storv.”—Alamance Gleaner.
Must Keep Away From
Line.
President Taft is determined that
battles between Mexican Federala and
insurrectes shall not be fought on
American soil. He is equall^^ deter
mined that the lives of American non-
combatants shall not be endangered
by the forces of President Diaz and
those of General Madero. Future com
bats between the rebels and the forces
of the Mexican government must not
be fought out so close to the American
line as to put in jeopardy the lives and
property of Americans.
Some Little Racket.
There was a little racket Icicked up
bv members of the Florance Comedy
Concpany in Mebane, at their boarding
house Friday. There was a prolonged
argument when the matter became so
streneous that the Mayor and some of
his deputies was called into quiet
matters. The trouble was over one Of the
ladies in the play. The husband reached
the conclusion that she was just a bit
too feivid and demonstrative in a love
scene, this led to argument and the
argument led to a blow on the head of
one of the actors. The Mayor after
hearing the matter concluded he needed
about $6 to help replenish the towns
exchequer and so the actor was asked
to fork it over, which he did.
After-noon Club
The Thursday After-noon Club was
charmingly entertained by the Misses
l^'owlers, at their home in East Mebane,
Miss Della Fowler and Mrs. Hawley,
photographed each member of the club
in a very unique and amusing way,
some of the pictures were so natural
that they were j»t Mice recognized.
This was followed by a guessing contest
and niustrated Libray the following
sixteen books were represented:

His Shoes Wont Fit
Representative Claud Kitchen made
a speach in the House of Representa

to the criticism of Senator Simmons
to give the News and Disturber an
opportunity to use box car type in
the head lines of his article that re
lated to it. Mr. Kitchen may have
the J? round itch, or his brother Wil
liam may want Mr. Simmons shoes,

pap fram their father.
