The removing of the railroad em bankment in front of the Mebane House, the painting of the building, and its green tufted yard maks a veiy attractive sight in the heart of Mebane.

This pur chase is presumed to be for Mr. Harris’s comfort and pleasure, but there is a vague suspicion that some Mebane beauty will particepate with him it its pleasure. The Mecca Drug Co., places an advertisment with us this week, you will find it at the top of colum on the Editorial page.

THE ATUm HOTEL At Morliead City» The States Greatest Seashore Resort* This week will be quite a gay one pt Tne Atlantic Hotel Morehead City.

The tournament at Mebane the fourth of July celebration "promises to be a feature of unusual interest, especialy to the younger set, young men who expect to become knightii and ride on that day, should communicate that fact to Mr. Felix Graves at Mebane as early as possible, you will want to rrown the lady of your choice the queen of love and beauty. This will be your oppor tunity. It is the general belief that there will be no dark horse at Chicago and that the National Committee will ride rough shod over nearly every Roosevelt contest and give those delegates to Taft. If they do and Taft can hold his South ern delegations, it means Taft’s nomination on the first ballot because if it ever goes beyond the first ballot Mr. Taft is gone fawn skin. That will be the que for the bolt of the Roosevelt delegates and a rump convention that will nominate Roosevelt and pass a set of resolutions that will set forth a cry of fraud which will fiiwG them the occasion and the excuse for splitting the Republican party. Poor Billy is Dead. Not that billy had lived out his aloted time, or that he^ was suffering from any disease that would likely cut life short, but billys owner wanted to convert him into goat steak, and he was compelled to yield up the life he had made profitless. After billy was dressed for Jack McCallums market he showed he had been living well. He was a fat plump goat. Billy was a hard headed old fellow it seemed to give him great pleasure to reer'on hind legs, and run to meet a box or barren with his head that you might throw toward him. But billy is no more.

Mills Were Located in South Alamance Coujity arid Loss May Reach $40,000 DRIGiN OF FIRE UNKNOWN Fire between 11 and 12 o’clock Mon day night totally destroyed the mill and employes cottages of the Snow Camp Woolen mills, located in South Ala mance county. The origin could not be learned and at midnight only meagre details of the fire had reached here. The fire was discovered shortlv after 11 o’clock and the entire mill structure was in flames in a few minutes. The mill fire fighting brigade made a valiant though futile effort to stay the flames, but not Tintil they had burned their way through the property did they stop The Snow Camp Woolen mills is owned by ^he Brooks Manufacturing company, in which many Alamance peo ple hold stock. The property destroyed Monday night is variously estimated to be worth from $20,000 to $40,000, thou&rh whether the damage will be total can not be said at this hour. Reports, however, are that the entire plant, with goods and machinery, is lost. If this is correct the full loss may possibly reach $40,000. Insurance was carried, though what proportion to the investment is not known. The mill makes all goods for the state peniten tiary convict's and several fine grades of blankets. The village is made up of several houses and it is said the greater part of them were destroyed. This loss, however, is included in the above estimates. Fair and Productive. Through its tax on inhiritances the State of New York, up to September 30, 1911, has collected $87,500,00q, and of this sum $8,000,000 has been collec ted in the last two years. No form Jof taxation is mome just than that on inheritances and prob ably none is so easily collected. A Big Celebration The U. S. Senate appropriates $150,- 000 for the governments participation in the peace jubilee at Gettysburg in 1913 on the occasion of the 60th an niversary of the battle. The State of Pennsylvania will appropriate $150,000 making $3u0,000 available altogether to care for the big gatherin. Peaches to North A branch of industry new to Char lotte was born yesterday when, for the first time in the city’s history, peaches were shipped to Philadelphia for sale, being sent from the farms of Paul Chatham. A New York commission buyer in the city ini pected them and wiid. “The Georgia peaches so far re ceived do not compare with these in size, soundness or general marketable condition and the former are bringing the highest market price of $3.50 per crate.’—Oharlotte Observer. Gave out Cartridges Allen Gang That Wesley Edwards, still a fugi tive from Justice, distributed cotridges to members of the Allen clan shortly before the shooting up of the Carroll court was the testimony of John Day ton, a young farmer, in the case of Claude Allen, charged with murder of Judge Massie. Dalton also said he saw Byrd Marion shoot several times on the court house green and [this has csused the prosecution to order the rearest of Marion, who was released on bail. RYM LOSES CONTROL ThejManagement Passes to S. Davies Warfield. Announcement is made of |the pur chase by S. Davies Warfield, president of the Continental Trust company of Baltimore, of a large block of stock in the Seaboard Air Line Railway whereby control of the railroad will pass to Mr. Warfield and a group of hnancial interest associate with him. The transfer, it is stated, marks the practical retirement of Thomas F. Ryan from the Seaboard. The sale announced included 90,000, shares of the preferred and 120,000, shares of common stock of the Sea board Air Line and was made by the Cumberland corporation. During the the last year Mr. Warfield has acquir ed large holdings of Seaboard stock which, with the latest purchase, passes control to the group with which he is associated. In practically $37,000,000 of common and $24,000,000 of the pre ferred stock are outstanding. AN EXPENSIVE LUXURY. Crowns Worn by Royal Heads Cost 2>ome Magnifi cent Sums, Crowns worn by rulers of most countries under the monarchical syst-em of government are an expensive luuury. One of the most costly of these royal headpieces is that of the once king ot Portugal. The jewels which ornament it are valued at $8,000,000 The crown which the czar of Russia wears on special occasions is also one of the most precious In the world The cross which surmounts the crown is composed of five magnificent diamonds, resting on a large ^uncut but polished ruby. The tmall crown of the czarina contains, a«*.cording to author! tiefi, the finest stones ever set. The crown of England, which is val ued at $1,800,000, contains a great auby a large sapphire, 16 small sapphires, 8 emeralds, 4 small rubies, 1,360’ bril- liats, 1,273 rose diamonds, 4 poarshaped pearls and 269 of othei shapes. In his state clothes, including his crown, tl9 Sultan of Johore, iu the Southern part of the Malay peninsula, wears diamonds worth $12,000,000. His collar, his epaulets, his girdles, his cuffs and the handle of his sword sparkle with precious stones. His bracelets are of massive gold and his fingers are covered with rings which are almost priceless. The most costly insignia of princely dignity, however, are those of the Ma harajah of Baroda in Iiidia. The chief ornament is a necklace of five strings, containing 500 diamonds, some of which are as large as hazel nuts. The upper and lower rows consists of emeralds of the same size.

The convention adopted a platform containing a plank endorsing the course of the delegation in Congress, which was a victory for Senator Simmons a bitter fight having been made on this question by the Kitchin element. Why they Opposed En dorsement. The governor’s brother. Congressman Claude Kitchin, was a member of the platform committee at Raleigh and one of the men who fozmulated a min ority report, proposing to eliminate all all mention of indorsements. This not only put Claude 'in the position of fighting to prevent an indorsement of his brother, the governor, but of him self as well. What has he been doing in Congress that he thinks he is not entitled tu the commendation of his party in the state? • « * The “fly in the ointment” was the fact that one F. M. Simmons is includ ed in “our senators and representatives in Congress'’ and Simmons now stands in the way of Brother Will’s ambition. That is why both the congressman and the governor and their friends were so strenuously opposing the indorsements. —Greensboro News. Who Did the Dragging? The recent statement by Theodore Roosevelt, heir apparent to the Ameri can throne, that he was “dagged in to” the presidential contest will cause a smile in those quarters where his frantic efforts to overthrow President Taft are matters of history. It can not be said that the dramatic request of the seven little governors lassoed him, for beyond asking him to violate his reiterated statement that he would never again be a candidate, these busy- bodies left the issue entirely in the hands of the Hunter. No force was used, for none was needed. Had he been actuated by honorable motives the third termer could have told the noble seven that he would keep his pledge.—Ashville Citizen. It All Depends. It is all wrong for one county to interfere with another county’s affairs if it dosen’t do what you think it ought to do, but it is all right if it takes your side of the case.—Raleigh Times, THE TEXAS BOOSTER. Everything Big Down There, Including Some Fancy Liars. (From The Chicago Record-Herald.) “Gentlemen,” said the man from Texas, as he warmed to his subject, “are you aware of the fact that Texas is bigger than Germany, with Holland, Belgium and Switzerland thrown in for good measure? We have counties in Texas where such countries as Denmark and Portugal could be set down with out touching the edge anywhere. Texas is bigger than New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey, all the New England States and Ohio combined. If Norway and Sweden could be bunched with England, Scotland, Ireland and WiJeJ they wouldn’t ba enough b gger thf n Texas to enable anybody to notice it, Texas could accommodate the entire population of the United States and be less crowded than Connecticut is today, Texas is big—big in many ways. Texas raises the biggest sweet potatoes, the biggest onions and the biggest steers in the world. Texas has more red- headed widows than any other State in the Union. Texas is located on the biggest gulf than has ever done anything to make itself worthy of mention. Texas has the biggest pan-handle in existence and the longest wire fences that the eye of man has ever gazed upon. If there are any other important facts concerning Texas that I have not mentioned I will be glad to answer any questions that you may care to ask.” “What do the people of Texas d'^ when they are not boasting about the greatness of Texas?” asked the timid little man at the rear of the hall. 3'he times are waiting for men who shall serve and not merely inquire; strive and not merely investigate; give to their age and their kind not so much learning in bnlk as wisdom in action; great* doing as the only true fruitage of great thinking; the consecration to the uplifting of one’s fellow men of one’s best rather than the conserving by mere culture of one’s seif.—Bishop Potter. SAINT JOHN’S DAY Oxtord Orphanage Shis time honored celebration will be held this year at Oxford Orphanage, Oxford, N. C , on Saturday June 22nd instead of Monday 24th. This has come to be one of the most representative gatherings which occurs jn our State. Each year, for a great mane, it has been the custom for the Grand Lodge of Masons to hold a Special Ccmmunication at the Orphan age. In this way this occasion has been the means of bringing together large crowds, and friends from all over the State have begun to look forward to it with great pleasure. Each year the crowds seem to get larger. Last year it was estimated that 10,000 to 12,000 people attended. Preperatio'.is are now begun looking to the entertainment of even larger numbers than usual- The railroads have made arrangements to put on sale reduced rate tickets and to run special excursion trains on all the roads on that day coming into Oxford. Atlantic Hotel Will Open June 12. Everything is in readiness at the At lantic hotel Morehead City for the sea son’s open Wednesday June 12 and Manager Allen A. DuBols could throw open the big hotel to hi.s guests at once so thorough has been the work of preparation under his direction. From top floor to kitchen renovators have been at work, and the air of cosy bright cleanliness will be pleasing to those who come to Morehead. The re-equipped kitchen looks like a sec tion from “Spotless Town” and gen erous use of paint has helped wonder fully throughout the building. Schwink's orchestra will arrive in a few days and the opening | ball, which will be given Saturday night, June 15, promises to be one of Sthe most brilliant in the history of chis summer social capital of the Old North State. The souvenirs to be given to the ladies present have been selected and they are beautiful. E. T. Gross, a North Carolinian who had years’ experienced in some of the the biggest hotels in the South, will be chief clerk this season. Mr. Gross has a wide circle of friends in the State He was recently at the Fair fax, in Norfolk, In readiner health articles we find that the ideal summer diet does not in clude milk, water, uncooked vegetables and fruit or fresh meat, especially red meat, unless all are handled with the greatest care, kept in sanitary sur roundings and thoroughly certified. It would be interesting to know what a hungry man is to do during the days it takes to prepare such a meal. Pensions Constitute The Qrtat Cost of War. The “dollar-a-day” pension bill has recently become a law. and it may be imagined to what enormous proportions the pensions will gi;ow, when already more than 200,000 applications for increase have been received at the Pension Office. It is estimated that the cost of the “dollar-a-day” act will be something like $20,000,000 to $40,000,000. “There is no telling how much this increase will cost the government,” says Commissioner James L. Daven port, “More than 50,000 veterans die each year, and the rate of mortality will increase. However, about half cf those who die leave widows who are entitled to pensions orovided that they had married the pensioner prior to June 27, 1890!” The records show that there are 500,- 027 civil. war veterans registered as alive, and it is expected that 450,000 of them will apply for an ir.crease in pay. This enormous expenditure will continue for a long term of years. There is no hope for a decrease for a long time to come, for only a year ago the last pensioner of the Revolutionary War died, and now there are over 100 widow pensioners of the War of 1812 on the rolls. Cock Sure Democracy All this fool talk about any demo crat winning this year should stop. The party has been cock sure too many times. Never was the outlook so brignt as this year, yet the fat can be kickod in the fire. Scores of men calling them selves republicans are saying they will vote for a democrat before they will support Roosevelt, but when the rub comes these men have heretofore caved in. The democrats should nomi nate the strongest man depends on who is the republican nominee. With Roosevelt and Wilson, two of a kind in many respects, a good many republi cans will take to the woods. If Taft wins out, as now seems reasonable, then by all means Wilson should be the choice at Baltimore.—Greensboro Record. Consumers Lose $740,000,- 000 Year By Tariff Vetoes. It is nearly a year since President Taft vetoed the Democratic tariff tills that were passed at the extra session of Congrest ir response to popular demand for relief trom the high cost of living. What have those vetoes cost the American people? Daniel C. Roper, Chief Clerk of the Ways and Means Committee of the House, statistician and tariff expert, was asked to analyze the relation between the existing Republican tariff and the high cost of living. His conclusions are: What a High Tailff Wall Does. 1. Ten per cent, of the annual ex penditures of the American people rep resents the burden of indirect taxation through import I duties. 2. The Republican protective tariff has been responsible for at least one- tenth of the increased cost of living since 1896. 3. The tagff tax per family aver ages $120 a year. 4. Of this $120, $16 reaches the United States Treasury and about $104 goes to the beneficiaries of the tariff— the manufactures, largely, whose profits the Republican party under takes to insure by preventing compe tition from abroad. 5. The Democratic tariff bills passed by the House would have saved the consumer $740,000,000 in a year and the saving would be $1,900,000,000 if all the tariff schedules were T/ritten “for revenue only,” instead of for the ‘‘protection” of the favored few.
