We are pleased to note that at the
commencement exercises just held at

Alamance boys took a high stand.
Mr. Joseph C. Long, son of Rev. D,
A. Long, of Graham, was Cadet Instruct
or for the year and one of the Cap
tains in the military department. He
was awarded a diploma for tlie com
pletion ot the Scientific course. Mr.
Long has bean four years at Bingham,
and has made many friends, as well as
having completed his course with hon
or.
Mr. Charles W. Lashley, son of Mr.
J. H. Lashley of Mebane, took high
rank in both deportment and scholar
ship for the year, and was awarded a
diploma in the Commercial Depart
ment for bookkeeping. This diploma
is beautifully engraved, being the
work of E. A. Wright, of Philadelphia
the engrossing was done by the teach
er of penmanship at Bingham, and is
in beautiful old English script
Mr. Wibur McFarland, of Alamance,
received a number of high honors. He
was awarded the medal in the depart
ment of History, in which he excels-
He was also given a beautiful picture
called “Progress,” being a pen draw
ing of an eagle, executed by Profes
sor Z. P. Zaner. Having attained the
highest grade in the School in all his
studies, he was awarded also the “A.
B. Croom, Jr." scholarship.
The same high record has been main
tained in the past by Alamance boys.
The Crawfords, Oldhams, Hodges, Al
brights, Stanfords, and others of
leading families have done well at the
institution, and have brought honer to
their homes and their county.
“And the cat came back” So bro
ther Louis Puryear finds he is called
upon to defend something, or some
body. but he don’t know who, or what.
Seemingly he is anxious to show us
what brand of collar he is wearing.
It would seem that brother Puryear for
got all about what the money was vot
ed for injthe bond election, and he seems
to have forgotten what was one of the
main issues in our municipal election
held in May when a Mayor artd board
of Alderman was elected for Mebane.
Did he hear at that time any threat to
run another ticket because members of
the board had up to then expressed their
intention of favoring the building ot a
macadam road across Mebane as was
first intended? Did he hear anything
aoout the employment or an other civil
engineer than the one that was em
ployed for reasons very plain to most
people. Was the citizens meeting to
which Mr Puryear refers to called for
the purpose of getting an honest ex
pression in regard to the street paving,
or was it to be lead to a favorable ex
pression of what was wanted by cer
tain people? simply stampeded.
Mr. Puryear knew what I meant
when I said “may be some of
these days the people wont be like
dumb driven cattle” and he purposely
tried to put upon what I said a mean
ing I did not intend, now Louis is not
that so? May be you could lead a mass
meeting, much like you could find
people willing to sign a petition to
hang you, but it amounts to nothing.
Suppose the matter of cutting down
railroad hills, and filling in to improve
private property had been squarely put
before the people of Mebane before
the bond election, 'does anyone think it,
could have been carried? hardly. I
quote the following from Mr. Puryears
article, which is a confession to all I
contend for.
“It is true, as Mr. Miles says that
the meeting which decided for the bond
issue understood that the greater part
of the monej' to be realized would
have to be spent for the purpose of
grading and macadamizing the road
which was to serve in the connecting
link between the two good roads al
ready up to the edge of the town, but
it is also true that they expected some
sidewalKs.”
In one of Mr, Puryear several arti
cles in the Leader, he thanks me for
telling “us” so plainly where I stand,
and then expresses “pity” for me.
Does this mean a threat of a boycott
to my business because I had
refused to wear any man’s collar?

Al-pa-ra-ta-
Death Of Mary E. Scott.
On last Thursday evening. May 25
about half passed 6 o’clock God called
from her home the soul of Mrs. Mary
Scott, and took it to dwell with him
on high. For about 71 years she has
toiled on this earth through trouble,
sorrow and afliction, but now she is
gone to dwell with her husbands and
children and friends who had gone on
to Gods palace above where she can
rejoice In the garden of ever blooming
flowers where no more suffering, pain,
trouble nor death can desturb her
peacful rest. So sad was it to part
from this beloved and kind friend, as
she was a precious and fond mother,
and p rand-mother Around her bed
gathered her children and grand child
ren to spend the last hours of stay on
this earth with her happy preasence.
Mas. Maty Scott was 71 years of age
twice married first to Lemie Hall last
to John Scott both summoned to their
final rest many years ago.
She was the mother of six children
three of whom are dead, they were as
follows: Lenie, Martha and Sudie Hall.
Robert, Alice and Ed Scott, the
deseased are Lenie and Sudie Hall and
Robert Scott. There are Mrs. Martha
Ward of Efland, Rfd No. 1. Mrs. Alice
Christopher of Burlington and Ed.
Scott of Mebane who are still living.
She was a member of Mebane
Baptist church. The funeral services
were conducted at Mt. Zion church by
Rev. Mr. Edwards pastor of Mebane
M. P., church. She was quietly laid to
rest in Mt. Zion cemetery to await the
great awakening of the blessed morn.
May the lord bless her son who was
so faithful from first to last.
A precious one from us is gone one
who will be missed in her tender cares,
one whom shall never return from that
heavenly home where she tarys.
Altho we miss her tender smiles and
cheerful glee, but bless her precious
name she is better far than we.
No more on this earth we shall see
her face or hear her piarting grace,
but in heavens happy home we will
meet her face to face.

Efforts to ruin others business, and
drive others out of thi^ town because
of independance is too well known. Per
haps because Mr. Puryear is living in the

Continental Chair company he does not
get out over Alamance County enough
to learn what people think, and say
about the dumb driven cattle idea. If
Mr. Puryear has pity let him show it
for these poor people, as for Mike
Miles every dollar he owns he has work
ed hard for, and he does not expect
to get any in any other way.

as it goes on. Wanting to be fair to
