M. Stedman Speaks Maj. Chas. M. Stedman candidate for Congress from this district made a speech in Mebane Tuesday night. It was a strong plea for democracy, and was well received by those present. The Major devoted much of his time to an elucidation of the tariff, and showed conclusively the grave injustice imposed upon the American people by the tariff. It was made alleged stead by the Republican party, the most infamous that ever a nation was inflicted with, and should be damned by the votes of the people beyond redemption A Knitting Mill.’!

The farmers are busy cutdng tobacco saving feed, sowing oats and preparing wheat land. We are having fine showers of rain after the long dry weather. Messrs. W. R. Roberta, W. A. Jordan and W. L. Wright commtte»men of Jordan school are having the school building built larger a new roof put on, they want to have the new building ready in time (or school this fall. There will be a big Farmers Union spoaking at Jordans School house Fri day evening Octocer 27. Most of the farmers of this section will go to Hillsboro the first Saturday to the Orange TeIefhone Cumpanys .“nnual stock holders meeting, nearly every farmer in Northern Orange owns one half mile stock and has a telephone. We leam that the company is planning the building of some main or trunk lines connecting Cedar Grove, Carr, Mebane, Hillsboro, Chapel Hill, Oaks and other points this winter, this scribbler will be glad when we can call the Leader office and give the news from thia section and not have to wait on “Uncle Sam.” Messrs. James T. McDade and John E. Dickey ha%e been doing come good work with the road machine in this section, the public roads are in better shape for winter travel than they have ever been before. Mr. Philip L. Cooper is putting in another engine and com mill, it is reported preparing to do all the grinding the farmers of this section need. It is reported that Mr. Cooper has planed to put in a small telephone exchange at Carr for the special benefit of the people in Carr section. If ay we have many more big hearted men who will help build up Northern Orange. Our good Docter C. If. Hughes not only serves the people Doctor but is putting in all the time be can in getting good roads built over the county. Very little “moonshine dew” m^de and sold in the good doctors territory, the doctor has about completed his new home at Cedar Grove. Mr. Geo, Chistopher is working hard to get a main or trunk telephone line connecting Carr and Mebane built early this winter, also from Carr to Cedar Grove where Mr. A. A. Ellis, Dr. Hughes W. H. McDade and others will extend the line to Efland. The farmers telephone system has done more for building up Northern Orange than any other one thing. The farmers Union is stronger in Northern Orange than any near by sections. We want to see the Leader in every home. The farmers of thia section are planning to sell a lot of their tobacco at Mebane this season. of Alamance and surrounding counties, to the great North Carolina State Fair whieh will be held in Raleigh from October 14th to the 19th inclusive. The County Fairs and other fairs in North Carolina are doing a good work in the way of educating the people along economic lines in agriculture, horticulture, and in the improvement of live stock of various kinds; however, the North Carolina State Fair is a State institution and is making wonder ful progress along these lines and should be patronized by the people of the entire State. There is no fair in the South that has made the progress that the North Carolma State Fair has made within the last few years. There has just been completed a large, modern concrete building to be used exclusively for agriculturial exhibits, and also a large, concrete building to be used ex clusively for poultry; the management contemplaets making other V3ry decided improvements in the near future, and with the cooperation of the farmers and manufacturers of North Carolina the management hopes to make this the greatest Fair of the entire South. The management also wants to call the attention of the people to the fact that the Fair is now run on an absolute ly clean basis, having elimmated all objectionable side shows, and there will be no shows allowed on the grounds which would be the least objectionable to anyone. This year the managament is making an extraordinary effort along agricul- turial and horticultuiial lines, and stock especially and expects to have the greatest exhibit along these lines that has ever been shown at any fair in North Carolina. The management also wants to call the attention of the people to the fact that this Fair belongs to the State and all of the receipts and proceeds are paid out in premiums and in making improvements to ‘take care of the largely increased exhibits. We urge the farmers of North Carolina to take advantage of this opportunity and if they have ar y | Faucett, products of their farms which they would like to exhibit trust that they will immediately ask the management for space, which is furnisned free, and we trust that every farmer will make an effort to visit thia State Fair in October as it will repay anyone to do so.

Package Containmg $55,- 000 Disappears Atter Reaching Train A package containing $55,000 mysfe- eiously disappeared in transit from th e First National bank in Pensacola, Fla., to officials of the Louisville & Nashville Railroae at Flomaton, Ala. Themorey was part of a shipment of $75,000 intended as a payroll and was in bills of small denominations. Details of the robbery which is said to have occurrcd last Wedi esday did not become public until Saturday. Re ports were current that the westbound Louisville and Nashville train leaving Wednesday morning, had been held up and robbed, but this was emphatically denied. Private detectives and special agents of the railroad and Southern Express Company are investigating the affair. DELIVERIES WERE MADE. The money was put up in two sealed packages at the bank, one containing $55,000 and the other $20,000. These packages were delivered to the South ern Express Company and in turn delivered by them to the Louisville and Nashville pay car at Flomaton, to be used in paying off the men as the car came south to Pensacola. On being opened in the pay car, it is said, the larger packa«?e was found to contain a roll of pages from a magazine in place of the money. The express messengers, it is said, claim the seals on the packages were unbroken while the packages were in their care. A sparrow 1")^ us that Mr. Luther Cheek of Clayton went down to Wallace, N.

B. 2 course- Young Robert weighs only 75 peunds and is an unusuaUy bright lad for ore of his age. It is interesting to note that this young college lad prepared to enter the University last year, but owing to his tender years. President Venable advised his father to wait an other year at least before assuming the responsiblilities of a collegiate course. Another wonderful thing about this young college student is the fact that DETECTIVES GET $12,500 The Tariff a Burden Every Household. The protective tariff neters into the high cost of living, and the twenty-two million households in the United States must suffer for it and help pay an enormous tribute to greed. Millions of people feel the heayy burden of high pric.js, and if they will but think for themselves they can see that they are payinS enormous sums to the protected industries of the country. The increasing expenses of the house hold are due to a certain degree to prices arbitrarilv fixed by the combined interests and made possible by the high duties placed on imports that should come into competition with the I commodities produced and sold in this country. Tariff discriminatisn we meet on every hand. It is vital to the househcld, A coffee mill, which is offered for export at ninety cents, is sold to the American purchaser at not less than $1.13 An oil heater, which is sold for the export trade at $2.20, is so protected that the American manutacturer is enabled to raise the price to purchasers in this country to $3.08, or 40 per cent higher, A 2-quart aluminum coffee pot, on which there is protection of 45 per cent, is sold in this country for $1.50, which is 44 per f ent higher than the manufacturer asks for it for export trade. The foreign price of an American- made stove is $15. while it is sold in this country for $20. A baby carriage, which brings $9.50 abroad, is advanced in this country, by protection, to $12.67, or one-third more for home people than for the people of other countries. The export price of an American- made sewing machine is $8.62, while the American housewife must pay $30 or more. On this one item the difference is $11.38, which is a bonus pure and simple the struggling family must pay for the blessings of protection. The people are becoming aroused. The burden of unjust taxation grows with the passing years. The hope of relief is with the Demo cratic xjarty.

There has that \ been no intimation from Iroler as to ' whether or not he will accept. Something Crooked To Sidna Allen is attributed a state ment made in Roanoke tD the effect that he is certain he did not shoot anybody in the court room murders. This has been characteristic of the {prisoners throughout the entire series of trials. Floyd Allen swore that he fired three shots, no one of which took effect. Claude Swanson Allen testified that he fired only at Dexter Goad, who was slightly wounded, Friel Allen said he fired once at Commonwealth’s Attorney Foster. Sidna Edwards said he did not fire at all. Victor Allen said he did net fire and had no pistol. Now comes Sidna Allen and is sure he shot nobody. Yet Judge Massie is dead. Commonwealth’s Attorney Foster is dead, Sheriffi Webb is dead. Juror Fowler is dead, JurorCain was wounded Stuart Worrell was wounded. Miss Ayers is dead, and there are many shots otherwise unaccounted for. Clerk Goad alone exhibited eleven bullet holes in the suit he wore on the wit ness stand at Wytheville,
