Mr. Ceaser Cone an excellent citizen of Greensboro and a man of large affairs made an address to the employes of his mill at Proximity the past week, took occasion to say amon^ other things. “They are tryi^r to ke good times by legislation,” hs snl'i, “by tinkering with the tariff. I think they had bet ter leave it alone. The cotton mill ■itoation is not good,” coiitiuued Mr. Cone, “and I think we are going to have hard times for some little times.” There are people who might have made the remark attribut ed to Mr. Cones, and we would have thought different of them, but Mr. Cone bears the repu tation'of a kind conscenticus em- I^yee, and we believe he means well in his observation, but Mr. Cone is off, away off when he exinresses the wish that congress do not tinker with the tariff. This tariff question has been so often, and so ably threshed out, its ill affects so clearly put that any any attempt in connection with this matter to further elu cidate it would seem supurfe- lous, and we forbear just now. But why call it tinkering? when Aldrich, Cannon, and Pa>ne were fastening the most iniqui- tious tariff of any age upon the American people it was not called tariff tinkering, but it should have been called legali zed brigandage. If the evils comes to this country of which Mr, Cone believes now threaten us, it will be because the favor ed class will so manipulate its finances as to bring it about They will attempt to squeeze the industrial world, until it piteously begs to be robbed even more if it but gives them rest. Any attempt to choke off this over grown tariff pampered pet calf from the public crib will be met by the the most strene- ous tugging at the ropes, and the first issue appearinor on the 18th of that month, The plant had previously been purchased through us by twenty-three of Mebanes citizens, who held the title to the plant up to the past week, when we negotiated the purchase, and bought the entire plant, and hold the bill of sale for the same. The office is one of the best county offices in the state, thoroughy and compleet- ly equpped with type, presses, etc. We have worked hard and given the closest attention to our business. Mebane is’a small place, and to make a newspaper live here under rather adverse condition has been a herculean task. There has been accorded to us a most liberal support by a number of our merchants, and some manufacturers. These have stood by us loyaly, encour aging us, and giving us evi dences of an appreciation of our efforts in their midst. Merchants in nearby towns have done much to help the Leader in its struggles, by giving to us advertisments, and right here we want to urge the read ers of the Leader to remember these n^enchants who advertise with us. They have shown every posible evidence that they de" sired your trade, trade with them. The Leader in the future as it has in the past will pursue that same honest, straight for ward independant policy that has characterized its utterances since the day of its first issue. We shall continue to strive to do all the good we can, for all the people we can. Our labors have been especially devoted to the upbuilding of this town and sec tion, and we shall pursue in the future the same policy that has guided our action in the past. We shall gratefully appreciate any encouragment that the people feel disposed to accord our ef forts. Whenever we can serve in the cause of truth, honesty, and justice, wherever humanity cries for help, and sympathy, there is where we wish always to be found striving for the worlds uplift, fighting back the ever en croaching and cruel tide of self ishness, avarice, and sorded greed. “If Judge Peebles was correct in summing up the New Hanover Coun ty juries, hereafter all murderers will want their cases heard in Wilmington. —Caucassion. Yes and there has been times when attorneys for the defense wanted their murder cases heard by Judge Peebles. Judge Peebles complains the ease with which a jury New Hanover county may of in be serious financials disaster to the I packed. We wonder if there country if it is posible for them to inflict it But the longer an abatement of this evil is defered the more difficult it will be to relieve the county from its effect. We have already waited en tirely too long. Twenty-five years ago the task of regulating the tariff upon a reasonable bases would have been difficult, today it has grown desperate, but at what ever cost, and what ever sacrafice it should be re duced and regulated upon a rea sonable bases. The thieving set have gone a long way loo far. Should we admit that there is no demand for tariff '‘tinker ing^' from the business people, it would argue nothing in defen se of right It is some of the business interest that profits largest by the stand pat steal but the people of this nation thun dered their protest against the present tariff iniquity in the last election, and if that protest is not heard and headed there will be something else of a more emphatic character done. The commercial world is looking for ward to dark days, it expects to be ground in the mill of despres- sion by these souless cormorants, and the only thing this demon strates is that they have been given power too long. If the people must fight this battle to a finish to secure their rights, then let it come, it is costing them to-day much more to en dure it than the most destructive war the world ba3 ever known. has not been times when some of our superior court judges were packed, and easily packed. GOGA COLA WINS FI6HT Famous Case is Decided in Favor of The Atlanta Beverage The case of the govemmen against “forty barrels and twenty kegs of coca cola" was decided in favor of the At lanta beverage in the Federal court at Chattanooga, Tenn. Friday evening April 6th. In rubng on a motion for temptory instructions Judge Sanford held that caifeine is not an added or deleterious ingredient of the beverage. He overruled the motion on points relating to the misbranding feature of the allegation but councel for the govern ment moved to dismiss, without prejuice the case on these points. A verdict was returned in favor of the defense. Federal counsel ent*ired a motion of appeal to the United States circuit court at Cincinnati. The coca cola case has been one of the most important ever tried in the Federal court in the South and the cost of the litigation has been enormous. It is said that $200,000 will not cover the expenses. Both sides have had experts from all sections of the country the most eminent scientists, principally chemists and physicians. The govern ment has spared no expenses in the effort to prove its contentions and the coca cola people have been equally liberal in securing expert testimony. BOUGHT THE PLANT. Two years ago the first of the past February we came to Meb ane, and established the Leader, Kismet. ‘ He loves me not,” the daisy said, When Elsie sought to pluck An answer from it, leaf by leaf, Of ill or happy luck. “He loves me not," the daisy said.

IS* C* Official Vandalism. We confess that we have no i^ee- ment witti the notion of our country's present war department - officials that led them to anchor the battleship Texas out in Tangier sound and shoot her full of holes for practice. It is not long ffince Admiral Cervera’s fleet slipped out of Santiago harbor and attempted to run the gauntlet of a line of Ameri can battleship) and ciuisers. It was a one-sided contest, but the vessels bearing the stars and stripes had ample opportunity to display gallantry; and among the vessels that bore the brunt of that short engagement the Texas distinguished herself signally. It was only last week that the once gallant Texas was to\^ed out to a secluded spot in .Chesapeake bay and literally shot to pieces by otherahips of the United States navy and now lies abandoned in the mud. It will never be raised, and its name and fame are forever marred by this humiliating end. And ic was not such an old ship. The Texas -vas built 23 years ago at a cost of $3,638,284, exclusive of arma ment. « * « In thinkmg it over it is hard to con ceive or to realize the actual necessity for wantonly destroying a valuable ship and its guns and equipment, costing $5,- 000,000 or more, in experments that doubtless could have been conducted satisfactorily in some other way. It was only last November that another cosUy craft, the Puritan, suffered the same fate. If this sort of thing con tinues those who have opposed the ex- pension of the navy will be possessed of an unassailable argument. It will be hard to convince the lay citizen of the necessity of building costly ships if they are to be hauled out and sunk for the diyeraion of naval experts when the “new** is worn off of them. Greens boro News. Only Remembered. Fading away like the stars of the momirg. Losing their light in the glorious sun— Thus would we pass from the earth and its toiling. Only remembered by what we have done. Shall we be missed, tho’ by others succeeded, Reaping the fields we in springtime have sown? No, for the sowers may pass from their labors. Only remembered by what they have done. Only the truth that in life we have spoken. Only the seed that on earth we have sown; These shall pass onward when we are forgotten, Frolts of the harvest and what we have done. —By Horatio Bonar Just A Moment OfYour Time We will pay your railroad fair from Ha’v Kiver, Me bane, Efland or Hillsboro to Durham and return to any one who perchases good:? at our store to the a- mount of $15,00, or more for your self, or neighbor in one day.

(From the New York World). Dr. Sandow, of London, the distin guished opponent of vivisection, now in New York, says that -worry is the most frequent cause “if cancer. In time past this affliction, which is be coming increasingly prevalent, has been mttributed to the excessive con sumption of meat, to fish and even to eggs. If worry predisposes humanity to such a scourge as this, in addition to all the other ills for which It is held responsible, it is plain that the earth has few evils so great or so general. Where contagion and heredity slay their thousands, worry kills its hun dreds of thousands. Worry leads straight to insanity. It prepares the way for consumption and kidney trouble It shatters the nervous system and thus is the forerunner of a hundred com plaints which lower, vitality produce suffering, and result in untimely death. If mankind could have had the full benefit of the wonderful discoveries of the past century or more, with none of the drawbackf of increasing worry, the average of life would be much greatea than it is. A Nice Point In Law. NO. 1, Prominent lawyer (at home)— Where was I the night before last? How do I know? Do you expect me to remember every little thing I do? NO. II, Same lawyer (in court)—The testi mony of tiie witness is plainly unre liable. As you see. he can not recol lect where he was on the 16th day of October, 1897, between 11:50 a. m. and 12K)1 p. m.—Puck. Reflections of A Bachelor (From the New York Press). ' Cranks have the greatest contempt for other people’s crankiness. A man will spend more time select ing a cigar to sm(^e thas a house to live in. After you school yourself to trust a man the real work comes in school ing liim to trust you. If a woman got an invitation from the leader of society to jump off a ten-story roof she’d want to accept it. A woman likes to have a charge ac- eount in a shop so she can buy lots of things to return because she changes her mind. **010: baby cries for Chamberlain’s C^Ogh Remedy,” writes Mrs. T.
