The fellow who threw the brick at Mr. Jeff Fowlers street light and broke it, must belong to that crowd who pre fer darkness to light, in fact thinks Mebane needs no lights. We believe that Mr. Fowler was about the only person in Mebane who was maintain ing a street light. The railroad at tempted to maintain a light at the North West coiner of the depot but from the densely smoked condition of the chimney at present it seems that they have signaly failed. Well we b3- lieve the next jjeneration will wan* some lights here, if the present one does not. wV It. It was rumored the past week that the managers of some of our neighbor warehouses contemplated an appeal to the American Tobacco Company, and the British American to exercise some restraint up >n their representative buyer on the Mebane tobacco market. They say Mebane is paying too much for tobacco. Now is not that some thing? It is enough to give a Caswell County farmer the horse laugh. That is just what Meba^’e is determined to do, to pay higher prices. It is the purpose ol the friends of this market to have the tobacco at any price want it. We do.

Reepectfnlly, S. Arthur White, P. M. Nothing moii illustrates the activity and progress of a town than the movements in the passenger, and freight office. We know that Mebane has made great progress in the past twelve months. It is apparent to every one who come here, but to those who do not come, the freight and passenger business tells the story. For September 1911, the freight and passenger receipts for Mebane were $5,679,01, for September 1911 the re ceipt were 7,825.63, an ipcrease of $21,146.62 nearly 33 per cent. The first week in October, is the best week in the freight business Mebane has ever known. For received and for ward freight the cash receipts were $7,054.53, passenger receipts for same pt;riod weie $771,10 making a total of $7,825,62. If this weekly total should hold good for the remainder of the month it woull run Mebane freight, and passenger receipts up to more than $30,000 for the month. This would be eriual to Winstons passengers, i and freight receipts per months for 1887. The railroad officers are talking about can /ing express on their own hook. If that will reduce the excessive charges, the public will approve; other wise, it will vote for no change, juices are now exorbitant.—Columbia State. This newspaper is not disposed to take stock in any reports to the effect that the railroads are seriously consid ering the question of themselves hand ling the express business over their re spective lines. The interests which control the railroads and those which dominate the express companies are too closely affiliated, if not too nearly identical, to encourage the expectation that they will volu itarily put an end to existing arrangements whereby the public is robbed, going and coming, in the matter of carrj Ing charges on par cels and light packages But reasonably certain it is that, if the railro ids should be compelled to handle, on their own accounts, parcels and light packages’ the cari’ying of which is no less a proper junction of a common carrier thi*n the hauling ol bulky freight, the public would stand to lose nothing, but rather to gain much thereby. The rates couldn’t well be come more exorbitant than they now are, without becoming actually p^ hiJwtoi’y, while at least the occasion would be removed for paying two pro fits where one would suffice. The same thing is f-qually true of the Pullman traffic and the refrigerator car busi ness. In the case of each of these also fhere was celebr?ited at the First Presbyterian church here Wednesday evening October 11th shortly after 7 o’clock the wedding of a popular and prominent young couple when Benja min F. Warren receifed as his bride Miss Lula Jeanette Holmes, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Ruffin Holmes There was a large number of friends present on the happy occassion. The church decorations were in smi- lax, ferns and potted plants, the rear of the pulpit platform being a mass of green, forming a most artistic back ground, for the grouping of the wed- and daughter ding party at the giving of the vows Mrs. Fannie of the bride and bridegroom stood un der an arch made of smilax and brides roses. The vows were given their pas tor, the Rev. F. M. Hawley. Just be fore the entrance of the bildal party, Miss Mary Lou Pitt, of Elon college, gowned in pink crepe-de* chine over messaline, with black pictu’*e hat, sang in her beautiful soprano voice, “I Love and the World Is M-^e.” Mrs. F. M. Hawley, beautifully dressed in white mess?'’ne, presided at the or gan. The bride entered with her brother, John A. Holmes, the bridegroom enter ing with his best man, W. W. Corbett The bilde was beautifully gowned in white duchess satin, with lace and pearl trimmings, her only ornament being a pearl and diamond necklace, the gift of the biidegroom, and carried a shower bonquet of brides roses and lillies of the valley. Her veil was gracefully c«ught with a vrea^^h of lilies of the valley. First entering the chureh were the ushers, Messrs Arthur Scott and Joe Vincent, then came little Miss Mary Allen Morgan, the lingbearer, dressed in white accordion plait m1 silk. Next entered Mrs. S G. Morgan, the dame of honor, beautifully attired in a lin gerie dress, cai^ying a bcaquet of brides roses, and then ctirne the bride Miss Lula Jeanette Holjnes, mth her brother, John A. Hohnes, the bride groom entering from the opposite aisle with his best man, W. W. Corbett, re ceiving his bride from her brother, anJ ascending with her the steps of the pulpit rostrum, the vows being then given and accepted. Preceded by the bride and bridegroom, the wedding party left the church to the ever happy music of Mendelsshon’s wedding march. Mr. and Mrs. Wairen left for a trip north shortly aft?r the wedding, their first destination being Washing ton. On their retu .i, they will be at home in Mebane. The bride is a charming young wom an of attractive personality, a woman of rare beauty, grace and culture, prominent in social circles and a fav orite with all who knew her. The bridegroom is a prominent your'; business man of Mebane, being secre- tray and treasurer of the Mebane Bed ding company, and is one of the most prominent and substantial of the yonnger business men of the t iwn. He is a popular young man held in high esteem. The regard in which he and his bride are held being shown in a slight degree by the many beautii jl oifts. Strange Hermit Dresses in Skins of Wild Animals and Roams Woods. CAROLimi THE VICTOR Fleet as a deer, dressed in the skins ef animals and roaming the words bare footed, a wild man has been discovered in the Middle Creek Canyon, section of Montana, about tweuty-five miles from Bozems'' Ine m?n has been seen several times, but all efforts to com- mun’cdte with b>m or to le?i a bis his tory f9iled. C. L. George, a forest re’^ger, came upon him fishing about two weeks ago ar d gave chase. This led to the find ing of a cabin supposed to be inhabited by the wild mar George enlisted the assistance of CJeorge Flanders, Jr., and two other boys, and the four visited the cabin next day. Just as they came in sight of it they saw the same man disappear into the woods at the rear. The vicini ty contains unexplored caves, and the strange hermit probably uses these- as his hiding places. The party took occasion to examine the cabin and found it a regular habi tation, furnished in a crude way. A hot fire w’as burning in the camp stove and fish were frying upon it, giving evidence that the man had just left. On a board nailed up oyer the bed the name “Henry Nelson” was carved The Charlotte Chronicle says; “Judge Walter Clark ought to feel dncouraged by the returns from California. His plank came out on top and even wo man’s suffrage was carried along with it.” California is liable to do lots of that North Carolina will not do; and we see little encouragement for Judge Clark in the facts stated unless he changes his race course and lays it California.—Greensboro News. in Defeated Plucky Bingham Team in Hard Game by Score 12 to 0. Carolina defeated Bingham school, of Ashville, at Chapel-Hill Saturday by the score of 12 to 0. In physic?’ condi tion and in speed the preparatory school presented a team e«iually as strong as the varsity. The backfield was light, but very fast. Time and time again Hickman got away on sweep ing end i pns for 15 and 20-yard gains. So we’’ did the mountain boys play that at the beginning of the fourth quarter the score was 0 to 0. During th3 fiutpaic of the game Cprolira played a kicking game, Wake’y putin.c: nost every lime his t'am had the On defense, Sir'U S'TPnge fnd . ?h played great ball for Carolina \vliile on offense, Captain Winston did magnificant work. In the fourth qu?r- ter, in two successive i ashes, he car ried the ball 70 yards. Hickman and Norton played well for Bingham. The varsity could not score on the hefty prep team for the first three quarters of the game, but with never dying fighting spirit they utterly crushed the Ashville boys in the last ten minutes of play for two touchdowns The team will be in excellent form for Davidson next Saturday and a great exhibition will be the result. The first score came when Ritch broke up Nor ton’s punt and Chambers recovered on Bingham’s nine-yard line. Winston went over for a touchdo'^ n and Toffin kicked goal. The next score was made after Small had recovered a fumble pass on Carolina’s 30-yard line. Win ston cairied the ball to Bingham’s ten-y?rd line and a forward pass, Till- ett to Manning, took the ball over. Til- let kicked goal. BAD FIRE AT SPENCER. Southern Railway Black smith Shop Almost De= stroyed. Fire, which originated from the bursting of an oil feed pipe Friday, al most destroyed the large blacksmith shop of the Southern railway company in Spencer and seilously, if not fatally, burned Earl Goodman, a young white mr n employed in the shop. The pipe burst without warning rnd Goodman was enveloped in flames of burning oil He r ashed to a barrel of water and jumped in with the hope of saving him self. T^ater he was carried to the Whitehead-Stokes sanitaiium, in Salis bury for treatment. Owing to the burning oil the fire spread rapidly and although the Spencer fire department- the Southern railway shop fire depart ment, and the SaMsbury fire depart ment responded promptly, the firemen were unable to cope with the flames. After the water from the Spencer mains had been brought into service the fire was quickly subdued. MIIMGLEPRESSMS A Superstious It iiians Say Big European Fight is Near. GEORGE HALL BE FREE. While rumors of war have been dis- turb’ng Europe the superstitious Itali an is convinced that a European con flict is bound to come quite soon. His ressoa is the “second liquefaction of the blood of St; lanuailus” which is repoii;ed to have taken place. This miracle of the mart>/’s blood (which is preserved in a diy state in the cathedral of Naples) ordinarily oc curs, or is supposed to occu”, her te times a year, and was duly reported on the expected date a few days ago. Next day the priests in cha’^e report ed a second liquefaction, and declared that the blood on this occasi'^n took on a b.ighter hue. This has bee*, accept ed as presaging a European war, for it is declared that similar omens were reported just before the wars of 1850, 1866 and 1870, NOEFENSIBLE. Underwood Discusse&Wooi Tariff and Criticises Taft. The pe iple of the United States pay a subsidy to the wool industry of at least $104,400,000 a year, according to calculations of Hon. Oscar W. Under wood, of Alabama, chairman of the ways and means committee of the house of representatives, who discussed sche dule K. before the industrial club of Chicago last Friday night. Mr. Underwood declared the wool tariff bill indefensible and criticised President Taft for his veto of the wool bill. After relating the history of the tar iff on wool, which he said had been recommended in 1867, after a meeting of the wool growers of the west and the wool manufacturers of the east. Congressman Underwood undertook to show the a-;a'>l tax imposed on the individual through vhe tariff, THE TARIFF BURDEN ILLUSTRATED. “An i”uscration of the extent of the burden is afforded by a study of a typi cal aiwicle of comparatively cheap cloth such as enters the ordinary men’s suits worn by the great masses of the peo ple,” he said, “The article ia an all worsted fancy fabric, the wholesale English price per yard of which is 77 cents and the freight to New York 1 cent. “The compensatory duty is 44 cents per pound, or 23 cents per yard, tbe ad valorem duty, 50 per cent, or 38 cents per yard, in addition or 78 per cent of the import price. It requires three and one-half yards to make a man’s suic. ‘ ‘The tariff tax of 61 cents per yard, to say nothing of any increase in tax as it passes to the jobber makes not less than $104,400,000 paid each year to subsidies the wool industry of America “On the other hand, the entire duties paid the United States on all imports of woolens and worsteds in 1910 am ounted to a total of less than J15,500,- 000 for the use of the government and over $100,000,000 subtracted from the pockets of the people. ‘PEOPLE WILL NOT JUSTIFY TAFTS VETO’ “Is it fair or just or ri^ht to main tain these enormous taxes unduly to foster the business of less than one- fourth of per cent of the people and to require 99 3-4 to stagger under this enormous burden? ‘ ‘I do not believe the American peo ple will justify the President in his veto of the wool schedule. He does not say the rates of duty fixed in the bill presented to him were too high or too low, but says that congress was not informed and that they must wait the decision of the socalled tailff board The congress had all the information it had when it passed the revision of the tariff schedule, that the ways and means committee had when it drafted the Payne bill, which the President signed. DISSOLUTION OF A. T. CO. THE Rowan Lyncher Is Given Commutation George Hall, the only white man con victed for the lynching of the negroes accused of the murder of the Lyerly family in Rowan county five years ago, was today granted a commutation by Governor Kitchen. Many leading citi zens of Rowan county, the officers, 148 legislators and others requested the pardon. The Lyerly family was mur dered in 1906 near Barber Junction and the house burned. Hall was tried in August of that year and given a sen tence of fifteen years in the peniten tiary. He will be liberated December 20, this year, and bis commutation is subject to good behavior. As stated George Hall was the only the public is taxed to pay two dividen-1 man caught, tried and sentenced to the dd where it ou ?ht not to have to pay | penitentiary for particepating m but one, and the worst of it is that the dividend to the parasite so far exceeds all the requirements of reasonableness as to reach the extreme of exorbitancy In Europe the railroads perform all the iunctions of common carriers, handling on their own accouMts refilg- erator car business as well as Pullman traffic and express business. American roads can be made so to do, and they should. Nothing could well be more certain than they will take no step in that direction untill forced to it.—Va Pilot. the lynching of one of the negroes that murdered the Lyerly family. If the State would deal with all who violate its laws as it did with Hall it would be all right, but Hall seems to have been made a scape goat, and given more medicine than was coming to him. The lawyers wanted to teach the people by an example of Hall that they must not lynch those who commit ciimes, be cause then they put it out of their power to try them and perhaps release them. Halls case was the very irony of fate. Plans Submited to Dis» intergate the Octopus. The plan for the dissolution of the American Tobacco company in compli ance with the decision of the United States Supremo court decreeing it an illegal combination has been offcially made public. It will be submitted to the United States Circuit court of the j southern district of New York, for ap proval It was decided to make the plan public prematurely owing to the publication of a summary purporting to be official, but which, according to Dc lancey Nicholl, counsel for the Ameii- can Tobacco company, was incorrect. The official plan provides for division of the American Tobacco company into four companies, no one of which, it is stated, wiU have a controlling influen ce in the tobacco business. The four companies are the present American Tobacco company, which wiU continue its corporate existence, the Liggett and Myers Tobacco '•ompany, which is to be organized; the P.

Cow Bell, ^Genume Imported.” This is the season when merchants in American are advertising those classy-cut clothes from Mayfair, High Holbom haberdashery, Piccadilly hats and other products of the sartorial art of the tight little island, along with for eign bolt goods to me made up. Strange coincidence; This is also the season when Rochester ready made Bossism Must Go. The genuine spirit of Democracy is asseiting itself in all the political fights that are now going on through out the counLy. In every state there is a determination to drive out bossism wrest the government from the hands of the rlngsters and place where it be longs, in the hnds of the people. Illinois has long suffered from ma chine domination. The Democratic party of that state had been all but ruined by the bosses, but it is now get ting together after ha\ Ing displaced ^he lingsters and put real Democrats in charge of ^ e pr ./ affairs.

There were present at that meeting those Democrats who are willing for the people to rale, those who are willing to take orders from the people, and those who were left out of that affair are the men who have been i aling the party themselves instead of allowing the people to rule.
