A $12 Kodak For 1 Cent 1-2 It must be a rare thing for one to get a $12.00 Eastman Kodak for one and a half cents but that is what Mr. Shakespear Harris did Tuesday evening. The Mecca Drug Company raffled off an Eastman Kodak, with chances ranging from 1 cent to 35 cts with the half cent figured in some of the chances, and Mr. .Harris was the one, A circle was drawn on a card board the number of chances written around the circle. Mr. Buhman manager of the Mecca stc»cd off a few paces pnd fired at the card board with a rifle while the card was turning in a circle with a nail through the center. The Kodak was just what Mr. Harris wanted as there is some remantic scenery he wishes to take snap shot at just now. Last Request Qranttd. The la?t request of Rev. Clarence V. T.

Saturday night at 11:30 o’clock the automatic alarm bell of packing house No, 2 of the White Furniture Co., rang out giving notice of fire. A quick investigation revealed the fact that a fire in its incipiency was blazing in the south west corner of the packing room. The heat soon started the How of water from the automatic pipes above which with the hurried assistance of several men with fire extinguishes soon had the blaze subdued, thus preventing what might have proved a very disaster- oua fire. Should this building have burned, filled as it were with im- flameable material, it would more than likely to haye communicated with the main machinery building, and from that to the entire plant. The packing house in which the fire caught is 50 by 150 three stores high. An approximate estimate would put the plant as about ten thousand feet of floor space. There are about 150 employes in these mills and perhaps not less than six hundred people dependent upon what is earned in these mills as wa-yes for their bread, meat and shelter.

Representative Linburg Warns Confreres That Something Must be Done to Stop Graspmg Trusts. To stem the tide of the high cost of living and other evils, the creation of a new standing committee in tne House of Resresentatives at Washington is proposed in a resolution introduced by Representative Linburgh, republican, of Minnesota. The committee in industrial relations, and would have supervisory relations with all bills or measures affecting the economic welfare of the country. In a preamble to his resolution, Mr. Linburgh sets forth to the extent of four thousand words, a graphic descrip tion of the deplorable state of the union. He finds that the cost of necessities is goin^ higher and neces sities are greater than ever before, “due to the wasted energy of the j country, its misdirected effort and complete vassalism to the monopolies. ” The tendency to trusts, the burden on the people of paying profits of dividends and rents, entirely out of proportion with the benefits received, and other ills are developing rapidly and so surely that Mr. Linburgh finds “bankruptcy, panic, social revolution and anrrchy” threatening the nation.

Wednesday afternoon at 3:80 o’clock Dr. H. E. Sa ^cerfield and Miss Koma Holden were united in the holy bonds of wedlock, at the home of the bride’s p arents. Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Holden eight miles from the city. - Miss Annie Dixon presided at the piano, and as her fingers began light ly to play the strains of Mendelshon’s weeding march the bridal party came and took their place under an old famous cedar tree on the beautiful lawn.

A SQUAIIE DEAL Is All The Farmers Tele phone Cu. Ask. Mr. Editor:- This scribler and the good farmers living around Mebane ha\e been for some time tiying to get a telephone exchange in Mebane that I the system which connects with most of the farmers of any importance in Oranqre, Alamance, Caswell, Person and Durham Counties with the f armers Telephone lines may be put on speaking terms with the Merchants, Doctors, freight office, and people in general of Mebane, but so far we have been denied admission to your town. It may nol be a matter of any concern to the Bell Telephone Company, but it ought to be a matter of as much concern to the people of Mebane as it is to us. Your business Mens Association can at a glance see the injustice your town suffers from being denied communica tion with such an extended teritory, and so many good people. Selfishness is the bane of progress, a connection with our line would be a long step oward prog/ess. We are willing to take the matter up at any moment and will agree to c''nvince any unpredudiced mind that the people of Mebane has all to gaipj[and nothing to loc?e from such a connection. Respectfully, Wm. H. Jordan, Hillsboro, N. C. Pau-Pa w-Quee.» e. W hat She Would Do “Will you many me?” he said fer vently. “I can’t promise that,” she replied slowly. “But I'll tell you what I will do.

Sunday school every Sunday begin nings at 9:45 a. m. Everybody welcome to all these ser vices. Woman and her Hosiery Preachers and moralists upon fem inine garmenting have shifted their theme from the skirt to the hosiery. It appears some girls wear hose too thin and some too short. It is even said that certain daring ones have be taken themselves to the use of men’s half-hose and disport a style that is both thin and short. All of which proves not that preachers and mora lists are foolish but that girls are wise. If instead of berating woman’s skill and courage in adapting her gowning to the conditions of the weather the censors of society would devote their energies to devising equally pleasing and comfortable mcd«s for men, the world would be happier as well as handsomer. One reason why men so often rail at woman’s folly is that they haven’t brains enough to understand woman’s wisdom. At any rate, there is no apparent justification for the present exhortations on hosiery. We may be sure if it were not suitable it would not be worn, and if it were not lovely it would not be displayed. —New York World. Wanted to buy timbered land, also would like to buy a farm. W. E. Ham, Mebane, N. C. The man who is renting land today, and fails to own a home within the next five years, will probably die a renter. The poorest German, Swede, or Bohemian who comes to this country, always rents land, but he dosn’t rent long. In a short time h« owns his arm. It’s our native population that seem content to, raiti crops for land owners. They always intend to purchase a farm, and never do it. They talk too much with their mouths. Hot air don’t pay for black land farms.— Harpoon. Col. WaLerson Goes After Bryan. The mask which in his unguarded fury Mr. Bryan has allowed to slip away from the sleek and smug visage that has so long deceived superficial observers into the talief that, through a selfish and commcn-place, he was still a sincere and amiable man shows the world at last the very embodiment of prosperious hypocricy and successful malice. It must be plain now to everybody chat Bryan went to Baltimore ti make trouble. Whether equally false to Wilson and Clark, he purposed to hold the balance between them, until worn out bv the deadlock, the convention should turn to him, it is hardly worth our while to conjecture. That he had it in design to create a grand-stand splutter and splurge and thus to insure himself four years more to rattle round amonp the Churches and Chautauquas and to grow yet richer at the cost of the party which has so honored and trusted him, has been writ in electric letters over every clearing of the Convention Hall. The greater noise he could make the better the advertising. The longer he could delay the proceedings the larger his pay. To such a mercenary the discomfort of his colleague"—even the embarrassment of the unpaid and unable to pay among them-was nothing, j To a writer, wilting like a school boy, j receiv ing a thousand dollars [a day for I bis worthless stuff, nothing matters j except the power to impose himself j upon the credu'ous rnd to ’nflict him self upon the defenseles'^. j Lucre has been the key-not of the malevolent character which genius has given to fiction. Moliere made it the mainspring in his declaration of Tarcuffe Dickens in his porcrayal of Pecksniff. Yet both set up as philanthropists. Each in his deepest villanies claimed to be “discharged the duty he owed to society.” Disdain of money is ever on their lips. “Money, John,” observed Mr. Pecksniff to young Westlock, whom he had been swindling for years, “is the root of all evil. I grieve to see that it is already bearing fruit in you.” Thus Mr. Bryan with his hand in the pockets of the hayseeds, his own pockets bulging with the money of Running Past The Signals A locomotive engineer took his post one morning recently and drove straight to destruction. He had made the same run in safety for more than twenty years. His recoid was perfect. The railroad company that employed him claims to have adopted every known aplyiance and regulation for the protection of life and property. With his tra'n at full speed the engineer passed unheeded a cautionary signal. Still unchecked, he ignored a danger- signal. A little further he left a stop- signal in the rear, and a few seconds later, having paid no attention to a flagman and a fuse, he crashed into a train ahead of him, killing and maiming scores of people. In this tragedy of the Lackawanna system was repeated on a smaller scale the horror of the Titanic. Danger- signals were up on all sides in both cases. In both cases those whose duty it was to be governed by them were blind or disobedient. To account for these lapses it is usually said that the delirquent was under the influence of liquor. The engineer in question is so accused, though it IS said he never before was suspected of the habit. In an attempt to make sure of men--the most uncertain quantity with which great enterprises have to deal~it is again proposed that two engineers be assigned to every locomotive. Two captains have already appeared on some of the Atlantic liners. This is in keeping with policies long ago adopted in government and in business where the unlimited authority of individuals is usually regarded as dangerous. Checks and balances in the use of power, and signatures and counter-signatures in the disposition of money, reveal the seasoned judement of states and of financiers that it is unwise to trust everything to one man. Yet counterparts of this engineer, drunk, vain, ambitious, reckless, stupid or plain crazy,are found in all walks of life. Everywhere danger-signals are tiying and everywhere they are flouted. In personal habits and morals, in business and industry^ in politics and government, men pass with open eyes the warnings set by wisdom and experi ence, and of course meet overwhelming disaster. The individual, the corporation, the State or the Nation that wishes to be guided aright can hardly miss the way. For all of these there are not only cautionary, danger and positive stop signals, but many other indicating ways that are safe and sure. Those that take notice live. Those that do not take notice die.-^New York World. NATHAN SWARTZ BODY FOUND Slayer ot Julia Connors Writes Note Saying He’s Guilty, The body of Nathan Swartz, whose father informed the police that his son was the slayer of 14 year old Julia Connors, was found early July 18 on the fourth floor of a tenement house on Chrystie street New York City. Swartz had committed suicide by inhaling gas. The bcdy was identified by Detective Joseph Brennan. Written in lead pencil on his collar were the words: “I am guilty and in sane. Caused by the beautiful make up of women.” There were several pieces of newspa pers lying around, and on one of these was written: “I was sorry the minute after I did it, So don’t cry for me.” A letter was found addressed to Swai tz’s mother, in which he confessed his guilt, and telling her not to cry her eyes out. Later Philip Swartz, a brother of the slayer of the Connors girl, identified the dead man as his brother.
