Politness Pays. “The politness of the people of a ( lace always Impresses the stranger,” Many strangers are coming to Mebane these days and they should all be treated with courtesy, politeness and consideration.

Stolypin, was attacked while attempting a gala performance at the opera Thusday night last at Kiey Russsia. He was wounded twice by his assailant. One bullet entered his hand, while the other penetrated the body, grazing the liver and lodging in the spine. It is reported that the prencier’s wounds is mortal. This is not the first attempt made against the life of Premier Stolypin. When Governor of Saratov in 1905 three shots were fired at him, but without effect. On August 25, 1906, a bomb was thrown while Stolypin, then Premier was holding a public recep tion at his country house on Aptekar ky Island. The Premier was slightly wounded. Thirty-two persons were killed and still larger number wounded including the Premier's 15-year-old daughter and his three-year-old son. At that time there was a reign of tor tism in many parts of Russia. He has since died. Regarding Dr. Wiley: That he was justified in all that he did, and should command the sympathy of everyone for his earnest efforts to maintain the pure food laws. Regarding Dr. Ruaby; That he was not advised at all as to tlie legal dif ficulty of his employment, and was only scheming for additional compensa tion which he thought to be adequate, and I recommend his retention in office. Regarding Attorney General Wicker- sham; That he was given only a part of the actual evidence on which to form his opinion. Regarding Dr. Kebler: That he be reprimanded for disingenoua conduct as shown by letters he wrote in connect ion with the employment of Dr.Rusby. Regarding Dr- Biglow; I find the use of disingenous methods in arrang ing for Dr. Rusby‘s employ, and direct that he be reprimanded. Regarding The Conspirators: The board issues raised by the investiga tion may require much more radical action than the question I have here considered, and declared. No matter what political results may come, one thing is assured. The pure food and drug act will hereafter be ad- minstered by Dr. Wiley with a firmer hand and more confident assurance of his pusition than over bei\we. He ha? been vindicated in a manner that few public servants have ever been able to boast. The whole country has risen as one man in demand that no harm should come to Dr. Wiley; that the conspiracy against him should be foiled, and that the pure food act be left in his charge. Almost from the day that the food law passed, Dr. Wiley's power as the nominal chief of its administration has been steadly pruned down until laterly it has been but a shadow, a mockery. The real power has been wielded by Solicitor McCabe, working in close con junction with Associate Chemist Dun lap, who has been hia everready aide in the management of the elaborate program for the undoing of Wiley. beyond and underlying the effort to undo Dr. Wiley, was the yet more sin ister and menacing purpose to break down the pure food law; to put its ad ministration into the hands of its ene mies rather than its friends; to make sure that it should be construed nar rowly instead of broadly; that it should be made to give the least possible em barrassment to the food fixers and the smallest measure of protection to the public. President Howard E. Rond thaler, of the Salem academy and college of Winston Salem has received the first cash payment from the general educa tion board on the endowment fund of this famous southern school. The check is for $48,461.86. This, together with the collections made thus far, gives the institution a present cash endowment of $93,847.45, exclusive of property and building gifts of $io;),ooo. As soon as President Ronthaler has collected the few remaining first in stallments still due, he will wait on Andrew Carnegie, who is to pay over his subscription of $25,000 in cash to the endowment fund. It is very gratifying to announce that 95 per cent of the subscribers have paid their fi.'^st installments, due July 31, While in New York last Saturday President Ronthaler had an extended interview with the educational board. He found that remarkable interest was being manifested in this institution and that the board rates Salem college one of the six greater woman’s col leges south of the Mason and Dixon line. This endowment fund is to be invest ed in the very highest class of secur ities only, such as bonds and first mort gages. Interest derived from same is restricted to the collegiate depart' ment of the institution. The check received from the educa tional board was deposited in one of the local banks by President Rondtha- ler. It was signed by Frederick T. Gates, chairman, and L. G. Myers, treasurer, An apparent majorty of 135 votes for repeal of the liquor prohibitory amend ment of the Main constitution was an nounced in an official statement issued by Secretary of State Cyrus W. Davis as the outcome of last Monday’s elec tion. The secretary’s report fs based on signed returns from town clerks. Certain discrepancies which indicate errors by town officials in returning the vote are not taken into account m the secretary’s report as the law requires the Secretary of StBte simply to tabu late the figures as received. These dis crepancies are declared by leaders of the anti-repea 1 side to be sufficient to change the result to a “dry” majority. Only the canvass of the vote by the (Governor and council later can adjust any discrepancies of this sort. Press returns compiled indicated a dry” majorty of 356 taking into ac count the alleged discrepancies in town clerks reports. Tourist agencies in Paris estimate that Americans have spent $100,000,000 traveling in Europe in the four months since the first of May. This exceeds the figures for last year by $20,000,000. Paris has shared liberall in this stream of pleasure-seeking gold, for more Americans have visited the French capital within this period than ever be fore. This immense omount is not counted in figuring the balance of trade. The State Fair. We have just received from the North Carolina Agricultural Society a striking little booklet that is a bright gem in its class. It is tiny, but full of facts and figures about North Car- The Home Man. Some days ago we noticed an article in the Sanford Express, which con tains some sane advice. It says: The retail merchant pays taxes to the state, pays taxes to the county, pays taxes to the town; gives employ ment to salesmen and salesladies; pays rent and insurance, helps support your churches, charitable and civic organi zations; works with you to make your town a city; he is your fellow business man and neighbor. The mailorder house away off in New York or Chicago pays no taxes, rents or insurance; em ploys to clerks; donates to no public olina and her Great State Fair that will be held for the fifty-first time at | jnterprise; takes business away from Raleigh on October 17, 18, 19, 29, 1911 j home town, thereby injuring your There are only eight small pages and a neat, very tasty cover, all of a size to fit in the ordinary envelope. Cuts show a birdseye view of the Eair Grounds while the Fair is going on and Lincoln Beachey flying in his Cur tiss aeroplane over Niagara Falls. Figures show 63 solid carloads of ex hibits last year against 42 in 1909; 3,501 separate ertries against 1,201, and $8,191.54 net premiums paid against $6,598,97. As evidence that the Fair is recognized as one of the greatest gathering points for pure-bred stock in the South, mention is made that the Percheron Society of Amer.can is this year offering its special prizes at the Raleigh Fair, which is one of only four Southern Fairs to be so honored. It is stated that by resolution of the Executive Committee all questionable shows and doubtful games have been forbidden the grounds. On the amusement side there is borne the news that the Fair contracted with the Glenn H. CurMss Co. for aeroplane flights each day of the Fair on a guarantee-to-fly basis, the aviator to home market; has no interest in your town or its people. If you send a dollar to a mail oider house it gets out of your community to never come back any more, money spent at home may get back in your pocket again after a while. You are a booster for good roads, but why not also boost your home mar ket? The mailorder house is its most serious menace. Don’t get the idea into your head that the mailorder house’s business is a small or insignfi- cant item. It takes away from your merchants a surprisingly large volume of profitable cash business, and it is the greatest and most unjust competi tion your local merchants are fighting against. They are friends and co workers—they help develop and build up the town and county in which you live, and for that reason are entitled to your support in the conduct of a legitimate business. Is it fair for the mailorder people to have the privilege of doing business without taxation and complete with vour local dealers, who support the Life’s Three Questions. A writer in Harper’s Bazar tells us that the three great questions in life are; “Is it right or wrong? Is it true or false? Is it beautiful or ugly?” These one education should help us to answer, and in so much as it fails it will lack in reaching a proper physical or moral standard. When the college girl returns to her home, whether it be her parents’ or her own, her college training should have fitted her to ans wer these questions in relation to the fundmental needs of life, in food, cloth ing and, shelter. This education I be lieve the teachings of home conomics to give. General culture not alone means the capacity to understand and appreciate, but to react on the resour ces and these problems of modem civ ilization and these problems in the lar ger mean the preservation of health, the prompting of physical vigor and the material wel being of the race. be Lincoln Beachey or Hugh Robinson j county and donate to public im Beachey is the birdman who flew un- I pfQyements? der the bridge at Niagara, while Rob inson did likewise at Cairo, 111, under Jesse James Lament. It will be recalled that twenty or thirty years ago Jesse James bit the dust in old Missouri, the victim of a bullet fired by one of his old pals. But a writer for the New York World has established communication with Jesse and in a recent issue published an interview with the deceased bandit from which the following extract is taken; Since I’ve been over here on This Side I’ve been studying the subject thoroughly, and I realize now that to get the best results train robbery should be practiced as an inside art. My way of shooting up the engineer and blowing open the mail car and beating it to the tall alfala with a $10,000 reward on my head was crude and highly unsafe in comparison. I had pretty near every sheriff in the United States out gunning for me at one time or another, and I met a melancholy finish in Kansas City while wearing a set of artificial whiskey which, in hot weather, were both warm and unsanitary. Whereas, if I had only waited until times were ripe and had gone at it properly, I might have skinned the railroad lines all I pleased from the sanctity of my own private car without any danger whatsoever, except the peril of being fed to death by Com mercial Clubs along the route. Winter and summer I had to sleep in my heavy hardware and any time I left them off I was liable to catch my death. A large proportion of the popu lace regarded my calling with like ven ison, I’d never be worth anything until I was well hung for several days. And the first time I got careless and under took to stand on a chair and dust off a framed chromo entitled, “Learning Baby to Waltz,” there was a loud re port just between my shoulder blades and I was merely a job for the Coroner and the song writers. But suppose, on the other hand, I had started as a guerrilla in Wall Street instead of in Missouri. Suppose I had conducted my. raids in the marts of trade instead of along the raging Kaw. Suppose instead of shunning the courts I had a Federal Judge right where I could put my hand on him any time I needed a burglar-proof injunction to head off the opposition. Suppose instead of stripping one train at a tirre I had made a specialty of looting a whole transcontinental system. Suppose in stead of plugging the engine crew with crude fortyfourl had learned the dainty art of starving them to death by mak ing them work for me at starvation wages. Just suppose these things, if you please What would have been the result? I would have been honored and rich’ or perhaps it would have been better to say I would have rich and honored, as I’ye taken notice that you ’ve got to be rich first if you expect to be very highly honored around the East ern seaboard’ Itstead of having a bum death mask in the Eden Musee I would be having my box at the Metropolitan for the entire season of what is known as Grand Wopra. Instead of being plug ged in the small of the back by a soil ed Bob Ford I’d have a Kaiser pinning jauty decorations on my swelling bosom. Instead of being hiding in malarial swamps and consorting with felons I would now be giying interviews to the Sunday sections of the newspapers on how young men may succeed in rail way business. Jesse’s spirit arraigns certain rail way methods with a vigor which is not designed to save the feelings of Wall Street kings. It would seem appropri ate to revise the old adage and say that fools children and spirits tell the truth. a railroad bridge over the Ohio. These two were the only flyers to finish in the eross-county race from New York to Philadelphia, and both were stars at the Chicago Aviation Meet, where Beachey made” a new record for alti tude—11,578 feet. Another attraction mentioned is Cali fornia Frank’s Wild West show with its fifteen carloads and 200 people. Then there is The Great Calvert, star nigh-wire specialist. M’Namara Trial October 11. Judge Walter Bordwell announced last week in Los Angles that the trial of John J. and James J. McNamara, alleged dynamite conspirators, would begin October 11, There has been con siderable rumors lately that there might be a postponement for a week because of elections, holidays and the visit of President Taft.

This thing of holding like grim death to one officer while turninjj heaven and earth to get another, does not se well with the people of South Carolina, Metaphorical Zoology. The latest mixed metaphor comes from France, and is worthy of being placed on record. The occasion of it was a dock strike at Rochefore, the dockers being filled with indignation because the authorities refused them a fortnight’s holiday on full pay, and this is how their spokesman rendered the ancient sentiment that worms will turn. “Even the feeble sheep,” he exclaimed, when the fierce blasts of indignation make its fleece bristle up on end, feels that it must thrust out its talons and scrateh.”—Pall Mall Ga zette.

Dr. Winston said he believed the western part of the state would go for Simmons. “Both Kitchin and Simmons have friends out my way,” he said, “but I think Simmons will win. When ever any one asks me about this par ticular contest I am reminded of the way a certain Raleigh lawyer sized up the situation when he said ‘they are all good men. Aycock would make lots of news, his brilUant oratory would attact country wide attention; Kitchin would be good to his personal friends; Judge Clark would make a lot of noise; but Simmons would do more for the state than all the rest of them put to gether, and few people would hear of it until actually accomplished.” A JNight Owl. “What business do you think your son will adopt?" “Can’t say” replied Farmer Corntossel, “but judging by the hours Josh keeps, I should say he I was naturally cut out to be a milkman. —Washington Star. England Will Finance Crop. As the result of a conference in Mont gomery, President C. S.
