It was a source of much gratification to note that a force of hands with a flat car train to remove the dirt were put to work last Thursday morning cutting down the embankment in front of the Leader office. The removal ol this embankment will be of great ser vice to the railroad company as well as Mebane, but there is some doubt as whether the work will be pushed to completion at present, yet we hope .^o.

Not’ ing mor-! illustrates the activity and progress of a town than the receipts in the passenger, and freight offic'^. We know that Mehane has made great progress in the past twelve months. This is apparent to every one who comes here, but to those who do not come, the freight and passenger business tells the story. For September 1910, the freight and pas.-?enger receipts for Mebane were $5,679,01, for September 1911 the re ceipt were 7,825.63, or an increase of $2,146.63 nearly 33 per cent. The first week in October, of 1911 was the best week in freight receipts Mebane has ever known. The freight recipts for that particular period were $7,054,- 53, the passenger receipts for the same time was $771,10 making a total of $7,825,63 for the week. If this weekly total should continue to the end of Oc tober it would run uo the freight, and passenger business of Mebane to more than $30,000, for the month. This would equal Winston’s freight, and passenger receipts per month for 1888. Fifty times by actual count Davis an attorney for the defense of John McNamara now on trial for his life at Los Angeles in the dinamiting plot de manded whether the venireman be lieved the United States would be bet ter off if there were no unions. Wheth er he favored discrimination between union and non-union men, and whether he believed the most lawless men are members of labor unions. No matter how he framed the questions, however the distilct attorney objected and the couH sustained. And the court was eminetly right. Everlasting right, without comment. Notice to Phone Users.

The Binford pictf-e muddle assumed ominou.^ proportions Monday night in Durham when Manager Wilkerson locked his operating room doors, warn ed officers not to enter it and threat ened to shoot Sergeant Pendergraft it he enterfered.

He had previously required offic'^rs to buy tickets and said: “The first show is over. You offi cers can buy tickets for the new one if you want to. Beulf'h Bieford pictures will go. ” Sergeant Pendergrast sent Sergeant Cadle for the top of a hatbox which he had constructed into a blind to cover the projectoscope. He thought he could not enter the operating room to serve a warrant on the operator. When Wilkerson saw his device, he said: “If you put that thing up over that hole, I hope God will strike me dead, if I don’t put a bullet through you.” He stepped into his private office then and Commissioner Claiboin Carr remonstrated with him Men in the audience ran out and others gathered to caution both officers and manager. Chief Freeland advised that the device of Pendergrast be not used and a war rant was issued at once for the mana ger and operator. In the meantime the reeling off of the picture went along untill officers arrived and sei /ed a wairant and stop ped the show in the middle of the per formance. Manager Wi’kerson then went to the police station, put up a $200 bond and returned to the show, having announced that he woulu not at tempt to present the Binford picture any more. He was followed by a cheer ing mass of mon. He declared that his sole pui pose had been to vindicate himself and the house, and he left it to the public. east Don’t forget that this is the season push your advertisement in the L'adt r.

Telling The Public. (New York Globe.) Whatever credit there is in being the first to bow to the inevitable be longs to the Mis'-Duri Pacific Railway Its bulletin giving a full and apparent ly true account of an accident near Omaha, sent to the newspapers and to every one connected in any way with the wreck, has been generally hailed as marking a new era in railway mana gement. It does undoubtedly do so, but the public deserves the credit for it, not the railroads, the railway com missions of the various states and the Interstate Comrherce Commission have forced this action by their in- quistitive prying, the latter body issued an order t)n June 21 last requiring im mediate notification of the commis sion—by telegram—of ali railway ac cidents in which anyone was killed. The purpose of this rule being “to aid the commiason in informing itself as to the advisability of making an investigation” Several of the state commissions also require immediate telegraphic reports f accidents.

Oleo c«n be told fiom real butter by holding a spoonful of it over the fire. Real butter will foam, while oleo will crackle, sputter and give an unpleasant greasy odor. Or a little real butter stirred into a glass of cold sweet milk will divide and spread over the milk’s surface, while oleo will cling in one lump. If the milk supplied by the dairyman contains formalin, which is the preserv ing flued ordinarily found, it can be de tected by- pouring sulphuric acid into a glass of milk. When the sulphuric acid encounters the embalming fluid, a purple rinp will be visible. Lemon extract can be tested by ap plying a match to some of the extract fn a saucer.

A Dangerous Censorship. The first order of the Post-Office Department excluding the Chicago Vice Commisson’s report from the mails was impoi cants chiefly as a symptom of tendencies to oppressive bureaucratic goverrment. The hipe- ous report was not intended for gen eral circulation, and might have gone on its mission of gcod without the use of the postal sei Ace. In now finally reversing that order this particular symptom disappears, but the general tendency noted remains, as shown in the later Richmond case of postal cen sorship of newspapers. It is one thing to exclude from the mails matter whi«'h is clearly unfit or which is clearly circulated for purp 'ses of fraud. It is another thing for the Post-Office Depaiiment to refine its tastes to the whims of this or that in dividual inauthoiity and carry its act ivities to the point of usurping funct ions which belong to local governmeat ifweaie to have any government outside of Washington. Newspapers which offend the gen eral sense of decency may be properly indictable, andean best be reached on this ground through local law*. But no newspaper is safe even in all de cency where the deciding lense of its fitness is confined to some one person in authority at WashMigton. Equally dangerous to libertj Is the extension of the power over the mails not to the aid of local justice against fraudulent business but to a bureaucratic judg ment of illegitimacy in any business and its Federal prosecution.—New York World. nm, Attorney=Qeneral T. W. Bickett Writes Hon. Geo rge W. Wickersham. Letter to Mr. Wickersham.. “Oct. 9, 1911. “ ‘Hon. George W. Wickersham. At torney-General, United States, Wash ington, D. C.: “ ‘Dear Sir—I trust that a second letter relative to the dissolution of the Am» rican Tobacco company will nei ther tax your patience nor strain your couitesy. “ ‘The plan which the nev/spapers say the American Tobacco company has submitted to the coui t does not have the merit of even locking like a Hona fide dissolution of that corporation The newspapers state the plan to be to divide the American Tobacco company into three companies, and issue stock of each of the three companies to the present stockholders in the Anerican in proportion to their holdings in the oiiginal company. I am profoundly convinced that such a plan will afford no relief to the men who grow tobacco, and these are the men who should be the object of the government’s tenderest care. These men are the men whose ill paid toil is the very foundation of the tobacco business; And when these men see a single organization arbitrarily fix the prices of the product of their labors, they are stirred by the same feelings that brought about the French revolu tion, and the night riders of Kentucky are the legitimate off.'^pring of com mercial tyrannyr Files His Protest. I notice that Mr. Brandeis, of Boston has filed a protest against this plan in behalf of the independent cigarmakers. I desire to secu’*e your permission to file a drotest and a brief in behalf of the dependent tobacco growers of Noifch Carolina. This state ranks second among the tobacco growing states in the union, and the deteimination of this case spells hope or despair to thousands of our citizens. It is my purpose to ask the attoiney- generals of the leading tobacco states to unite in filing a protest and a brief, provided we can secure permission to do so. Permit me to say that I am not dis posed to find fault with the way in which this prosecution has been con ducted, but I fear that the court may not fu'ly appreciate the tremendous im portance of this matter to the men whose very living depends upon getting a fair price for the tobacco they grow I simply defjire an opportunity to say a word in their behalf. If you are willing to grant this re quest, please wire me, and I will at once go to New York and file the pro test and the brief. Of course, in the brief, I shall maintain that the plan of reorganization submitted by the Ameii can Tobacco company is, in no way, a compliance with the judgresnt of the Supreme court of the United States. With much respect, I beg to remain, Very truly yours, T. W. BICKETT, Attovxiey-Gener^ i TO TIIUSrSlLllNS. The imperial Company Joms in the Movement. A rattling skirmish fire of opposition to the tobacco trust plans of reorgani zation came from m^ny directions, some of them from sources that the trurft had felt it would not join in the war against its proposals now before the United Strifes circuit court for ap proval. Important among the events was a secret conference of representa tives of all sorts of independent tobac co interests at the headquarters Na tional Leaf Tobacco association, 141 Maiden Lane, at which it was determi nated to intei /one at the public hear ing to be begun October 30. The Imperial Tobacco company, of Great Britain, limited, petitioned the United States court for permission to join others in the intervention in spite of the fact that ’n its so-called dissolu tion plans the trust claims to have re leased the Bvitish concern from the agreement under which the foreign corporation concern was completely shut out of the American market.
