CORRESPON DENCE We wish correspondents in all the nearby post’offices. Write at oiwf*. lliursday. June 8, 1911 and help swell the volumn of! trade. This is something that every man who lives in Mebane should be interested in and es- pecialy the merchants. There is a plenty of help here to operate a mill, and it is known that where they are operated upon business princepals there is good profit in them. If some one would take the lead and go at this work it would not require a great while to raise the amount necessary to put one in operation There are people who live near here who would be glad to invest in one, liberaly. AWAKENING PUBLIC CON SCIENCE. There seems just now a gener al awakening of the public con science. There is a severe de cline in the graft, and greed idea. The national notion pre vailing for a decade, that get money honestly if you can, but get money is being received with a discount. The incentive to thrift prevails and honest men will labor for fortunes, but they will be a little more careful how they acquire them. For a half century stealing has been called graft, and the man who could do the most of it has been regarded shrewed,and sharp, not a thief as he should have been termed. There is a revolution going on in public sentiment. We believe the world is going to reastablish that standard of honor that pre vailed a half a century ago, when an honest man in jeans could be respected more than a thief in casimers is now feared. It has been a shame, a damn ed black shame that the thieving silk tiled scoundrels have held the scepter of social and finan cial recognition, while honest poverty, wore the rags of re proach and disgrace. There is an army of trust magnates deck ed in diamonds that should be wearing stripes, delving dir';, at the muzle of a winchester in the hands of a guard, working for the public. We have degenerated into a race, a people of money wor shipers. The golden god of the almighty dollar has received more reverence, more homage, more fealty, than that paid to any King, or potentate, more ob- sequeous salams, than given any church, or worship, this to the eternal shame, and humiliating disgrace of the present age. If not a delusion. If it but be true, that honor and right is coming into her own. If justice, and truth can be enthroned again, Uic i>ooplA will have a rpason for saying thank God, there will be a way for honor to win its fight in the fields of human indeaver. GO SET DOWN BILLY. Chairman Underwood of the ways and means committee of the House, and a large number of his colleagues are not talking very kindly of the intermedling of Mr. W. J. Bryan in regard to the wool tariff chedules W. J. has been set down on hard by some of these gentleman and the indications are that he will be set on harder. Bryant thinks he is the i^hole Democratic party, and push cart, and it is a long way past time when he should have learned better. He tries to mess up every candidate name that may be mentioned in con nection with the Presidency. Ofcourse Bryan would lead an- suspecting public to believe that there is no one fit to be presi dent but himself. It looks strange that a man who is ordi- naryly accused of having com mon sense should be so crazy on the Presidential proposition. Now Billy, go set down, the Democratic party has a fair show don’t spoil it by interjecting your personalty as the only real thing, because you are not, the people now have their eyes upon some much better man. A KNITTING MILL A knitting mill would prove a great help to Mebane. It would ad much to the weekly pay roll, The proposed tariff cut on clothing, will tend to reduce very near 40 per cent, This will make it posible for a man to wear a decent suit of clothes without taking two months wages to pay for them. Complete Government Victory, Asserts the Attorney General. Attorney General Wickersham, in a statement characterizing the tobacco decision as a complete Government vic tory, says: "The decision in the tobacco case in the most comprehensive and sweeping manner sustains the position taken by the Government with respect to the de cree below. It reverses the action of the Circuit Court in dismissing from the bill the individual defendants, the British-American Tobacco Company. Limited, the Imperial Tobacco Com pany, Limited, and the United Cigai Stores Company, holding that they are all parties to the unlawful combination which is condemned by the decree. “The court gives an interpretation of its decision m the Standard Oil case, saying that it was there held that in view of the general language of the statute and the dublic policy which it manifested, there was no possibility of frustrating that policy by resorting to any disguise or subterfuge of form, possible to escape by any indirection : the prohibitions of the statute.” Many Violations. “It then holds that the history of the tobacco combination is so replete with the doing af acts wnich it was the ob vious purpose of the statute to forbid, so demonstrative of the existence from the beginning of the purpose to acquire dominion and control of the tobacco trade, not by the mere exertion of the ordinary right to contract and to trade but by methods devised in order to mo nopolize the trade by driving competi tors out of business, which were ruth lessly carried out upon the assumption that to war upon the fears or to play upon the cupidity of competitors would make success possible.’ “Holding, therefore, that the com bination as a whole and all its co-oper- ating and associative parts, in what ever form clothed, constitutes a res traint of trade within the first section of the Sherman act, and an attempt to moropolize and a monopolization within the second section, the court remands the cause to the circuit couit in New York for the purpose of working out some plan of disintegration of the com bination whice will re-create a new condition which shall be honestly in harmony with and not repugnant to the law.” Gives Six Months. “It gives the defendants six months within which to work that result, with the right in the circuit court to extend that tima two months if it shall seem to IL proper. It also provides that dur ing this period each and all of the de fendants, individuals as well as cor porations, shall be enjoined from doing any act which might further extend or enlarge the power of the combination by any means or device whatsoever “If at the and of the time so allow ed such a condition of disintegration in harmony with law is not brought about, it shall be the duty of the cir cuit court, either by way of injunction ^restraining the movement in interstate or foreign commerce of the products of the combination, or by the appoint ment of a receiver of the entire com bination, to give effect to the require ments of the statute. “It is scarcely to be conceived that any more comprehensive and effective applications of the statute to this vast combination could possibly have been decreed.” Insincerity of Legislation. (Ohio State Journal). A very mean and cowardly legisla tive habit is for one house to pass a bill and then count upon the other house to kill it. One would think that such a trick would be beneath the dig nity and honor of smcore and sensible men. But it is done all the time, and how a legislator, who means to be con scientious rnd straightforward can in dulge in that habit is a mystery. All such conduct reacts upon a man’s character, and makes him less stable in resisting temptation. A man cannot do a deceitful thing without, to that extent, at least, becoming a deceitful person. One cannot appear to be the thing he is not without losing some of his integrity. Voting to do wrong, expectidg somebody else to trip you up and do the right thing, is such con temptible business that the very mention of it ought to disgust all honorable men. To have an insincere, tuckling, un derhanded legislator ig a sad misfor tune to the State. When snch a one and a demagogue are joined together t9 make laws, God pity us.

TOBACCO CROP WILL RE SHORT Plants Are Dead As Result Ot Continued Dry Weather i The Durham Herald says; j Farmers from several counties, who have been to Durham recently, report that the prospects for a tobacco crop n this section are very unfavorable at this time. The crop promises to be an almost complete failure on account of the continued and unusual lack of rain. The farmers declare that throughout the section which supplies the Durham tobacco market not a fourth of the usual croD will be produced this season. The plants are dying rapidly for lack of rain and it has been impossible to get anything like the usual stand. The plants that have managed to survive are being subjected to terrible ravages from worms and other destructive agencies. In many sections the fields have been replanted four or five times, but the plants die almost as fast as they are planted. The beds have been practically exhausted; and if it should rain ever so much at this time it would be impossible to secure young plants to replenish the barren fields. RADIUM SPRAY Cleans Everything but A ui Ity Conscience To the Radium Spray Company, Durham, N. C.

Durham, N. C. I 'tek- Solitude, Laugh and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone. For the sad old (arth must borrow its mirth. But has trouble enough of its own. Sing and the hilld will answer; Sigh, it is lost on the ear. I'he echoes bound to a joyful sound. But shrink from voicing care. Rejoice, and men will seek you; Grieve, and they turn and go They want full measure of your pleasure. But they do not need your woe. Be glad, and your friends are many; Be sad, and you lose them all. There are none to decline your nectar- ed wine. But alone you must drink life’s gall. Feast, and your halls are crowded; Fast, and the world goes by. Succeed and give, and it helps you live. But no man can help you die. There is no room in the halls of pleas ure For a long and lordly train, But one by one we must file on Through the narrow ailes of pain. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Who Owns Alaska? Who owns that great expanse of territory in Alaska for which the United j States paid Russia $7,000,000? Has it been turned over to the Guggenheim syndicate ror Its private use and profit? Is the United States Government merely the agent of the Guggenheims in Alaska? The Thrice-a-Week World on Monday published the story of how workmen of a local company building a railroad through Keystone Canon from Valdez to Fairbanks were fire into and two of them killed; how the shooting was traced to a man named Hasey, employed by the Guggenheim interests; how the slayer w'as finally sentenced on a minor charge to serve only eighteen months in prison after agents of the Guggen heims had made every effort to save him from punishment; how political influence was subsequently brought to bear in Washington to have the United States District-Attorney and the United States Marshal who figured in the prosecution removed from office; how they were replaced with Guggenheim appointees, and how Governorships, Judgeships, District-Attorneyships, Marshalships in Alaska all show the influence of the Guggenheim interests.
