Store Breaking in Mebane Thursday night of last eek some party or parties broke into the reer of the Mebane post office, and after gaining entrance hunted around for something to steal, but fortunately, the money and stamps had been re moved and there was little they could get their hands on worth taking, how ever some Christmas presents were found missing. The same night an entrance was ef fected in the Mebane Store Co's build ing, from this it is suppossed were taken several articles of minor value, it was impossible to determine the ex act loss, as a big Christmas trade had left the stock much disaranged. It is not a wonder that there should occasional appear a thief of this char acter in Mebane, for a town without lights as this one is, and without pro tection of any kind, might have de predation often, in fact we would not be surprising if some one should slip in some night and steal the mayor and the whole board of Alderman, and a few of those who never thought lights were needed in Mebane. Efiand Bugle. Mebane correspondent to the Efiand Bugle. Mebane streets are very muddyf Mr. Walter Lynch was seen walk ing up the streets with Miss McFar land the other evening. 1 wonder if Walter means anything serious.

Charlie Pickard says if he is not married this year, it wont be his fault, for he is open to proposals and its Leap Year at that. Did not Allison Holmes fool them al right? We bet John wont slip up on us that way. Mr. Murry B'erguson says its not a sign of anything serious because he courts a good many ladies, he just naturally likes it, that’s all. Mr. J. N. Warren savs it is not his fault if you do not bring your tobacco to the Piedmont Warehouse, and get your own price for it. He saj’s the buyers have the money there for you. More-Anon.

It is H pleasure to note how the Mc Adoo hotel of Greensboro has const antly climbed into popularity under the able, and efficient management of the Stearns, Mr. Stearn is the peer of any hotel man in North Carolina, he is a born caterer to public comfort, but when he took charge of the old Mc Adoo he lacked much of having building arranged, and equipped to meet his ideal of a good hotel, he has however striven from time to time to add such needful improvements as would best meet the comfort and con venience of his guest, until to day he has an ideal hostelry, clean, comfort able, and in every way attractive to the better class of the traveling pub lic- Recently he has added an annex, with some fifteen additioned rooms, besides changing, and altering, until to day he has more than one hundred nicely furnished rooms, major por tion of which have recently been re- fered. Whenever an attraction, or tion would ad to the looli^ or of the building it has l^n given, but more yet, if plans niiscary, there is in contemplation some stupendous change in the near future in the McAdoo, changes that mean much to all who feel an interest in its future. When you are seeking a comfortable place in Greensboro to stop, remember you will feel quite at home, if you place your self under the care of that prince of entertainers Mr. M. W. Stearn at the McAdoo. No one is ever known to have the “night horse” in the McAdoo, your sleep will be as sweet, and as refreshing, as an infant in its mothers arms, your food as pal atable as the most exacting epecure could desire. Good wishes for the Mc Adoo. decora- comfort lavishly do not Orange Grove Items Mr. L. M.

McDuffie officiat ing An illustration That il lustrates. The print paper and wood pulp pro vision of the reciprocity project be came effective only last July, but with in the few months which since elapsed fortynine concerns to develop pulp wood tracts or to build paper and pulp mills, representing an aggregate capi tal of over $41,000,000, have been in corporated. Of these twenty-seven are in Canada and twenty-two are in the United States. Herein is to be found an illustration which can not fail to appeal to the op en mind of how freedom ot trade op erates alike to expand business and to stimulate competition. In a general revelation of tariff restrictions lie both the most effective solution of the mo nopoly problem and the maximum de velopment of the country's manufact uring interests. The blindness that does not see this is either the blind ness of insatiate greed or the blindness of ignorance. Berkshire pigs for sale. The best of any for sale. Charles F. Cates. Dec. 21 3 weeks^ Destroy Private Property and Thereby Open the Eyes ot the Public. A new and rather startling feature in the militant suffragettes’ recent demonstration in London was the widespread smashing of windows Miss Christabel Pankhurst has since then spoken frankly of the reasons for this campaign against private property. It will be remembered thatv it was not only the windows of government of fices that suffered. Shops, banks, pri vate houses, even in some cases un occupied houses and hotels had their windows broken. One young girl when arrested in the Strand was industriously hammering at a great plate glass window and in geniously remarked to the policemen and bystanders that she had had had no idea that ‘‘plate glass was so hard te break.” Miss Pankhurst’s argument for this breaking of private citizens’ windows is that the “average citizen” thinks more of private property than of any thing else. He may be 'impervious to other considerations, but break his windows and those of his neighbor and he becomes so startlea and horrified that “he begins to think.” Another prominent member of the Women’s Social and Political Union put the arguments in this way: If the windows of the government offices are smashed it is only government windows, and if women suffer impris onment or maltreatment it is only women. But if the general public finds the injury extending to its mem bers then it will recognize that the business is really serious and look more closely into the case for an immediate grant of women’s suffrage. In short, the idea seems to be that the militants will make themselves so much of a nuisance that public and politicans alike will give them what they want. The Mileage Graft. Representative Palmer’s effort to re duce the mileage allowance of Con gressmen to something more nearly approaching a reas»nable basis is none the lees deserving of commendation because it failed of success. The ex isting arrangement is a form of petty graft whi^h reflects upon those re sponsible for its continuance all the more discreditably because of its pet tiness. When traveling expenses for members of the national legislature were fixed at the rate of twenty cents the mile travel was by stage coach and many nights had to be spent at waysida tavcrans and many meals eaten in progress. The countiy at that time knew nothing of railroads and nothing of the modern means of journeying from one point to another Under conditions obtaining in those days twenty cents the mile was none too high; today, when the continent can be crossed in four days and prac tically all the railroads are selling 1,000 mile books at two cents the mile, it is several times enough to meet all necessary and legitimate expenses. Mr Palmer, who represents a democratic district in Pennsylvania, told the House that his round-trip ticket from Stroud sburg cost him $10.30, but that he drew $103 to cover the expense. That is, he is drawing from the public treasury to cover cost of traveling from his home to Washington and back about a hundred dollars more than he has to pay out on that account, and in the case of other Representatives this excess allowance increases, in exact proportion to the grea^^er distance which they live from the national cap ital. To members from the Pacific coast States the over-allowance means at least two thousand dollars a term. The allowance under> the existing law is 20 cents a mile. The Congress man from Chicago, for instance draws one hundred and sixty dollars [for the trip each way. Hia railroad fare comes to eighteen dollars, if he takes the Limited, the price of a Pullman compartment is ten dollars, and three meals on the dining car and tips should surely be covered by another ten. Be - fore reaching his destination he would have expended a total of thirty eight dollars, but would draw from the pub lic treasury nearly five times that amount, or a clear profit of about one hundred and twenty dollars on a journ ey consuming less than twenty-four hours. The Congressman living three thousand miles from the Capitol would realize the same percentage of clear gain on each trip, forth and back, of which thera are at least three a year, and the aggregate of this graft is many hundreds of thousands of dollars in each twelve months. — Va Pilot. Quarrels would not last long if the fault was only on one side. —La Roche foucauld. Mrs. C, E. Carrol of Concord, and Mrs. J. S. Smith of Robersonville, spent Christmas with their parents Mr. and Mrs. L. S. Chandler, theschnoalof™ M The Other Anarchy of the Administration ot Justice Colliers Weekly of December the 23 contains a lengthy and interesting article in reference to the abuse of law we clip a pot lion of the article, and reproduce it. What every man asks of the law, and has a right to ask, is chiefly re ducible to these two things: 1. Can he go to a lawyer, in the average of cases, and obtain an honest opinion, upon which he may relj', as to what is the law? 2 Can he go to the courts and, with out ruinous cost, obtain justice? I believe that no one who with open mind will review the decisions of our multitude of courts, who will follow a sufficient number of trials to their is sue, can answer these two questions otherwise than with a flat NO. This is, in a civilized State, a frightful in dictment of a profession that has been held in high honor. It is not mine. It is in affect the indictment made by the ablest members of our bar, by the foremost judges of our courts, and by some of our roost distinguished states men including our present President, themselves lawyers all, and in some instances former judges. Problem No. 2—Can the Lawyers Know the Law? Answer—They cannot And here is part of the reason: There are, roughly, one hundred thousand practicing lawyers in the United States, and I have recently seen a careful estimate that tho incomes of the great body of these, possibly four- fifths or more, does not exceed, on the average, a thousand dollars a year. Now, I have known of very em inent counsel who have spent months in the preparation of a single case, and this in special fields, as corporation law, where they were already recogni zed as the foremost in their profession. To what were these months of hard labor applied? To the weaving: of a maze of precedents, citations, and quotations with which to bewilder and overwh Im the opposing counsel and the court itself. These were lawyers who often receive fees of fifty thous and dollars and more. They can take their time. Now, the law as administered in this country by the courts is rarely a broad consideration of the merits of the case, but rather an endless cita tion of precedents and former judg ments. What chance has the lawyer with the income of a thousand dollars a year to work up cases like this, and what chance has his wretched client if his case happens to be against a rich corporation, able to employ the highest talent? The law, in an appalling number of cases, is simply a question of which side has the larger retainer fees, « « « The Usurpation of Courts If the law were clear or, more flat ly, if there were any law except judi cial construction, what earthly use would there be for this grotesque and overwhelming flood of judicial babble? The Koad to Fatalism (Charleston News and Courier.) The West can never understand the East. Its fat&lism 'seems so unrea sonable and unreasoning. It is content to take things as they come. We wonder at it. Perhaps we are drifting into fatalism ourselves. The East ia an old civilization. The man whom failure after failure has followed all his days in the evening of his life ac cepts things drearily as they come. He does not try to change conditions. He has learned the hopelessness of it from many dreary fights. The East, the old man of civilization, after cen - turies of effort both to preserve its government integrity and to solve its social problems, has given up in dis gust, that is al'. The evolution is go ing on in this country. The failures that have met us in our efforts to prevent the tyranny and injustice of wealth, the meanness impossition of social relations and the inefficiency of government haye combined to make sc-eptics and fatalists of many people. What’s the use? has become a common expression. What’s the use of trying to break the tariff barrier? What’s the use trying to curb the trusts? What’s the use attempting to put down graft? What’s the use trying to reform things Fatalism is further advanced in the East. Though we wonder at it in its perfect development, we .have the same thing ourselves in an earlier period of evolution. Here is a romedy that will cure your cold.
