August 3, 1911 WILL HE DO IT If President Taft exhibit so marked an unfriendliness for a reduction in the wool tariff as to veto the Underwood bill, or the LaFollette bill, the last name bill’ a compromise measure of the Underwood bill, he will undoubt edly loose much of the prestige won by his championship of the Canadian Reciprosity bill rec ently a law made posible through the aid of the Demo crats both in the House and Sen ate. It is elready a mooted question that the Reciprosity bill was a political move, a bait thrown to the masses, at the sacrifice of a class of protected industries that was worth but little if anything as campaign contributers to a Republican pol itical fund, and this was done with the hope of staying off if posible an overwhelming presi dential disaster. If Mr, Taft refuses relief to the people by vetoing both of the bills named, there will go up a cry of an other wolf in sheep s clothing. There are more than eighty millions of backs to be clothed, an up to this for the past forty years more than sixty per cent of them have had to wear shody or half mixed cot ton in their winter wear, and it is done solely that a favored oiass of campaign contributors should make millions out of the masses. The excuse for the continu ation of that tariff embodied in schedule K, that abomination hatched in the mind of that pol itical out throat Nelson B. Aid- rich can be made only upon the necessityof a party exigency to perpetuate it solely upon the grounds of seeing their friends were well paid. If Mr. Taft vetoes the wool ^^ariff bill, he will not be able to explain it away, and however much he may have been admired for his fight on the reciprosity bill, he will forfeit much of the confidence, a faith in his sincerity had in spired. If the life now infused in the town can be properly stimulat ed and perpetuated there is a posibility that Mebane may go on to much greater things. In addition to her street pav ing project, she is building her second tobacco warehouse in less than two years. New brick stores are going up, and Mr. F. L. White is inaugurating a water plant of 3000 daily gallons, for his own use and that of near by business men. Come to Meba'ne and help us to make of it a live wide awake city, it is possible. MEBANE HUSTLING. Mebane may have been taking a long snooze, but you would think she had fully awakened and had got on her working clothes if you could see her these days. The dirt, pulverised, rock, and sand are flying in every direction. They are building streets, sidewalks, grading, dig ging for foundations of store, putting in water plants etc. THE GTREENSBORO TELE GRAM. The Greensboro Teleg/am changed this week from a morn ing to an after-noon paper. A change that we think will be decidely to its advantage. The Telegram is very much improved under its new management. We wish it much success. Opposing Senator Williams’ bill to appropriate $50,000 from the Federal Treasury toward the cost of a Con federate naval monument at Vicks burg. The New York Sun says, in part: “We believe that the Confed erate soldiers and sailors have a finer sense of the fitness of things. The valor, the endurance, the noble pa tience of Confederate fighting men were and are beyond praise. Alive or dead, let them and their memories continue to stand far and honorably apart from the crush and wallow about the Federal trough.” We too, question the good taste of Mr. W illiams’ bill, at least pending another generation’s life. And we cordially appreciate the tribute to Confederate soldiers which The Sun has paid. W« may well believe that the demoralizing and debauching effect of pensions upon Federal soldiers—the G. A. R. becoming I essentially a grab machine—is not worth what it costs.—Charlotte Observer. Watterson On The East. (Henry Watterson in Louisville Courie Journal.) It is a peculiar misfortune and an augury of evil that the people of the East—notably the people of New York —get their mental sustenance chiefly through the organs of the rich. In the bucolic days “befo’ the war” the people of the gulf States were fed from the same trough. Their news papers sang only the virtues of slavery None others were allowed to exist. In the fabulous wealth of the East piled up in a few hands—some of it preda tory—much of in sprung from class legislation—all of it more or less cor- cuping —it is easy to detect growing likeness to the patriciansm of the old South. Already artificial conditions of life predominate. Young men are reared to regard enthusiasm as effeminate. Young women are almost as educated in a knowledge of evil as young men. The sex line becomes less and less visible. Moral confusion makes po litical obliquity. Caste distinctions press upm the commonalty more and more, and harder and harder. The foolish ooor either hate or emulate the foolish rich. Graft is everywhere. Money-making seems to have swamped simple patriotism and popular ideas. The newspapers are so used to this that they grow callous—they take their complexion from society, which is well pleased with itself and grants things to remain as they are.—a disson ant note denounced as the ignorance of an outsider, or the outcropping of anarchism. It was just so in the Car- olinas fifty years ago- He who did not shout for slavery was an abolitionist. The worst of it is that the rich are common cause with the predatory rich. Lost The Lake. (From Outing.) Our British cousins have been accused of being devoid of humoi for so long that the following yarn is told to remove the imputation in a measure. Not so very long ago an Englishman, just across, visited Sandpoint, one of the large lumbering towns in the North west. Practically the entire town and country are owned by the Humbird ^ Lumber Company. The Englishman, was taken out into the great pine forests where immense white pines tower on every side. “To whom does this forest belong?” he asked. “To the Humbird Lumber Company,” was the answer. He was shown through the large lumber plart and informed that it be longed to the Humbirds. O'he fine bank building, the great department stoi’e, rows upon rows of dwellings— all be longed to the same corporation. As a crowning treat he was taken for a spin around Lake Pend Oreille in a swift launch Upon their return, while standing upon the deck, he asked: “May I ask who owns this lake?” “Oh, it belongs to God.” “Aw, really, is that so? Now, would you mind telling*me how.he managed to get it away from Mr. Hun^bird?” This Is Why OUR SALES GROW GREATER EACH SUGGEEOING WEEK BECAUSE WE ARE PLEASING OUfl TRADE We are recklessly throv^ing on our bargain counters at great sacrafice sales some of the prettiest, best and most attractive dry goods seen in this market.

Ere they had brought us hope or fear Whose sorrows fret us row, * When you and I were free from care, We thought the world sublimely fair— When you and I were young my dear But we are older now, niy dear. And dirges have been sung For those who made our pathways clear. To those fond hands we clung; Ere we beheld their dear eyes close You were as radiant as a rose. And aii the days were fair, my dear How could we bear their loss, my dear If we had been denied The others who have brought us cheer And fill our breasts with pride? How could we hope to be content If they had not been sweetly sent To soothe our aching hearts my dear? When you and I were young, my dear, And all the skies were fair, I found a rare enchanted sphere. And led you blithely there; But, though our youth is put aside, The joys we had are multiplied Since others cling about us, dear, —S. E.
