An Appalling Storm.
The electric, and rain storm that
struck Mebane at twelve o’clock Mon
day night wae one of unusual severity.
It was the most vivid and constant
display of lightning we remember to
have ever seen. The electrical explosions
were appaling. It seemed that Mebane
was in the grasp of a giant siege
battery that was playing an hundred
krup guns upon her. It was such a
night as that rocked the Island of
St Helena in an awfull storm when
the spirit of the great Napolean went
out into the great beyond.

there is not enough mail handled on it.
Since Mr. White brought in his com

Electric Stations*
We met on the train a few days past
a gentleman who is connectdd with a
firm who is furnishing supplies for the
Southern Electric Power Company. In
reply to question he said there wouM
be put in two connectiong sub atationa
on the line between Greensboro and
Durham, these would be at Burlington,
and Hillsboro. Other intervening
points would be supplied with current
by wireing from them. The Reducer
at t station would cost about $7.00 per
horse power up to a certain limit.
There would be reducers put it at all
stations between Greensboro

Mebane is not named as a bud station.

Apex Swept By Disastrous
Fire.
Big Day at Mebane
4th.
Would You Believe That
Lightning Lighted a
Lamp?
There was a freak of lightning at
the home of Isaac Speaks in South
Statesville last Wadnesday evening.
The bolt entered the house through the
chimney and struck the feet of Mr.
Speaks mother, slightly burning them.
Mrs. Speaks was lying on a conch and
a little child was lying under the couch,
the child escaping injury. The bolt
continued its strange work by burning
off the top of a baby carriage, tearing
a picture and mirror and knocking a
hole through the floor, event into the
basement and lighted a lamp.
Dr. Young attended the injuries of
Mrs. Speaks and she is getting along
all right.
The business men of the town met
together Monday afternoon and unani
mously decided to have a big celebra
tion in Mebane July 4th. So bear in
mind while malting your plana for that

For we are going to have lots of amuse
ments, and a big time for all.
The following commktes were ap
pointed to get to work and ar
range a program for the day:

Straughn, Rube Howard, Eld Ferrell.

The greater f«rt . the bu8ine.««8
section of Apex was consumed by fire
early Monday morning and the total
damage is at least $50,000.
The fire was discovered by a passing
freight train which blew the alarm
and aroused the citizens. The blaze
originated in Jenk's meat market on
^ j Salem street, but the origin is unknown.
* The fire spread rapidly and resisted
the strenuous efforts of the citizens to
confine it. The whole business section
of the city wa« soon enveloped in
July flames. The fire department at Raleigh
was called upon for aid and the fire
fighting force was btarted on its way,
though the fire was gotten under
control before it reached Apex and it
was stopped on the way. The fire was
discovei^ about 1:20 o’clock and it was
after 4 o’clock when it was finally
under control. The post office, Sellar
building and other parts of the town
were saved from complete destruction
only by the strenuous efforts of the
citizens who formed themselves into an
efficient fire brigade.

TWO FIRST BALES OF

Market--One Has Spcial
Train.
Two “first bales” of cotton are
racing towards Houston, Texas, to
claim first honors in the cotton market.
The Houston cotton exchange was
advised that one bale started from
Rivera, booked for delivery at the
local exchange, and following this
came the announcement that Sam
Benito had started a special train with
Houston as its destination and bearing
the first bale produced in that section.
Both bales are fully 11 days earlier
than the first bale last season.
The cotton was sold at $2.05.84 per
pound, the total weight being 493
pounds and the price $1,015. This was
the highest price ever paid on the
Houston exchange for a bale of cotton
It was classed as strict middling.

AN EARTHQUAKE
Walls Crumble, Trapping
Scores Seeking to Escape;
Nearly Two Hundred Sol
diers Die in Barracks;
Capital Center of Great
Catastrophe.
A violent earthquake on Wednesday
in the city of Mexico killed 180 soldiers,
several scores of civilians, and spread
terror and destruction through the
countryside.
The earthquake seemed to center in
the city, which had been en fete in
honor of the arrival of Francisco I.
Madero.
At 4:28 o’clock in the morning the
first and most severe shock was experi
enced, although tremblings of the
earth’s crust continued until after 6 a. m.
The first shock lasted only a few
seconds, but it was most grave.
Buildings collapsed and walls caved
and roofs fell in before residents within
could rush out to the streets and safety.
How great the loss of life outside
the barracks is no one knows at this
time, as communication in the city and
to the south is seriously hadicapped by
broken telegraph and telephone wires.
It was within the bBrracks that the
soldiers met death. Without a hint of
warning came a great roar and rumble.
Then the earth upheaved and the walla
fell. It took place quicker than the
great earthquake in San Francisco.
No complete reports have been
secured here from outlying districts,
but there is word that damage has
been done in many parts of Mexico.
Thousands flee frwn the city flto the
countryside, and among these are
many companies of in&urrecto soldiers
who had come to cheer Madero. Their
terror and that of other fugitives is
pronounced, and the soldiers are
abandoning their arms as they run.
The fieures showing that at least
1,000 persons have been killed are those
compited and given out by the govern
ment officials, and it is belie fed that
when all communications are finally
restored with big cities which have
not been heard from since Tuesday
night, the list of dead may be swollen
to at least 5,000.
Adding to the terror of the present
situation, the volcano Colima is in
eruption its peak, 12,278 feet
above sea level, being shrouded in
clouds of smoke, through which belch
towers of flame. Down its .•lides flows

part of the country, the inhabitants are
praying for a cessation of the awful

The first trip, which was confined to

Inasmuch as the American Tobacco

the United States Supreme Court has
repeatedly held that “guilt is always

about bringing criminal proceedings
against the individuals responsible for

if his crusade against combinations

on Semi-Centenftry.
Nearly a million people witnessed
the dedication Monday last the crowning
feature of the semi-centenary of
United Italy~a magnificent monument
to Victor Emmanul II., at Rome who
first took the title of King of Italy. In
terest was added to the occasion by
reason of the celebration of the gn^nting
of the Constitution by King Charles
Albert in 1848, the Constitution which
still rules United Italy.
The monument is the most colossal
structure of the kind in the world. It
occupies the left section of Capitoline
Hill and opens into the very heart of
Rome on the Piazza, where stand th e
Palace of Venice, which Paul III.,
erected. In front is the Corso, the
leading thoroughfare of the city, so
that the equestrian statue of the King
Liberator in gilded bronze can be seen
from a distance shining against the
white marble of the colonnade forming
its background. Th© statue is forty
feet high and weighs fifty tons. It
was cast in eighteen pieces, which
occupied two years and a half. When
