did not do them any good, in fact if
there had been any law to prevent it,
it should have been exercised. The

The suffragette outrages have now
thoroughly aroused public indignation
in London, and the government has
been called upon trom all over the coun
try to adopt drastic measures.
There have been several minor out
rages, including the breaking of
wi idows, disfiguring them with dia
monds and destruction of some letters
in the mail boxes. A plan was laid io
injure the Oxford c;tv’s boat in which
they had been practicing for the
university race, but it was discovered
in time. It is stated at Putney that if
t’le suffragettes try any such prank
they will be thrown into the river
CAUSING BITTER RESENTMENT.
These speeches of Mrs. Pankhurst,
her gloating over the senseless
criminalitj' of her followers, and Miss
Christdbel’s violent incitements from
the safe distance of Paris, are causing
exasperation. The law officers have
not yet decided whether Mrs. Pank-
hurst’s Cardiff speech, glorying in
bombs and incendiarism, having been
delivered after the crimes, lay her open
to prosecution, but the home secretary
seems fully alive to the danger of
^ leaving the law any longer without a
! vindication.
j The belief is that the hunger strike in
I prison is the sole reliance of the militant
I suffragettes, and if that could be de-
I feated their campaign would soon col
lapse. They reckon that, no matter
I what the length of sentence inflicted,
they can get cut in ten or fourteen
d&ys by undergoing the discomfort of
the hungr strike.

Southern Trains Between
Charlotte and Denin; Now
Safeguarded by Electricity
The new electric block signal devices
recently installed by the Southern Rail
way between Denim and Charlotte and
similar to the Pennsylvania system was
put in operation for the first time
Sunday. Railroad men said Sunday
night that the new system worked
like a charm. It is conceded to be the
last thing in safety in so far as the
operation of trains g es, the electric
signals giving warning of a train is
just ahead and also heralding the
presence of a broken rail in the
approaching block or any track irregu
larity, causes of many serious wrecks
on the Southern system in the past.
The signals are placed at distances
varing from a quarter to a half mile.
Three colors are used in signals, red
lights signifying danger and warning
the engineer to approach with caution;
green giving notice that the second
block beyond is occupied and white giv
ing a clear track. The lights are oper
ated mechanically by electricity, a de
vice making it impossible for the lights
to fail. Electric current is furnished
by the Southern Power company.—

Resuscitation After
Hanging.
(From The London Chronicle.)
Resuscitation after hanging, as the
Southwark coroner remarked, is not
! uncommon. In 1705 a housekeeper
I named Smith was hung up at Tyburn.
’ A reprieve came after he had been
i suspended for a quarter of an hour,

Thirty-two of the thirty-three dyna
miters recently convicted in the feder

to the penitentiary for terms ranging
from seven years down, have been re
leased until their case has been re
viewed by the higher court to which
they appealed furnishing heavy bonds.
The amount of the bond was fixed by
the length of the sentence at the rate
of $10,000 a year. Thus the bond of
Ryan, president of the structural iron
workers, whose sentence is seven y ears,
is $70,000. The one prisoner not
included in the writ which admits the
rest of them to bad is Herbert S.
The Matter Seems To Be
Definitely Settled.
It seems that Mebane is destined to
have a hosiery mill, now sure enough.
The Durham Sun contains the following
relative to it.
Mr. J. S. Carr, Jr , president of the
Durham Hosiery Mills, and Mr. C. D.
Partin left this morning for Mebane,
where they will spend a short while
investigating the location of the new
plant of the Durham Hosiery Mills at
that place It is ur.derstood that the
local concern has acquired the old Alton
factory and that they will instaU new
machiney immediately. Q’his new
plant will be Durham Hosiery Mill No
6, and will be in an excellent manu
facturing part of the state.
Within the past tew months the
Durham Hosiery Mill has increased its
number of plants and also the out put
to a large extent. In many ways the
concern has grow/i and with all of their
plants they are easily in a position to
supply a large part of the south with
their finished product
A new plant has just only within the
pist two weeks been completed at
High Point. Work has already begun
on tearing away Durham Hosiery Mill
No. 2, where a handsome plant will be
erected in its place. Changes for the
betterment of the plant have taken
place at both Chapel Hill and Golds
boro and the growth of the company
was the purchasing of a large plant at
Chapel Hill a few weeks ago.
The new plant at Mebane will mean
much for that place and will mean the
giving of employment to seyeral
hundred employes. This will help
towards increasing the population of
this thriving town and will also help
along the business life of the town.
The management of the company has
njt as yet decided who will be placed
in charge of the Mebane plant, although
it is likely that someone will be sent
there from the Durham office.
Just a few items from No. 4. as it
has been some time since we were
heard from.
Farmers are very busy and have been
all winter much and deep plowing has
been done for crops, prospects |good
for wheat while many have had to buy
corn on account of short crop last year,
weather has been favorable for all
kinds of work during winter as to
average things up at last.

Why INot Have A Park.
An enterprising citizen, who seems
thoroughly alive to the importance of
advancing the interest of Mebane asks,
the question why can not Mebane have
a park? He refers to the fact that
the railroad company has offered the
town the use of the lot between the
depot and chair factory for that
purpose, and o.ily ask that the Civ c
League get to work and beautify it
The Burlington Civic League raised $100
a short while past by giving dinners,
the money to be used to beautify a
park. May be some of Mebanes social
clubs could r«ise a sum su fficient to do
I the work.

Di inks Gasoline Breath

The News and Observer vouches for
this unusual story;
Capt. T. W. Davis, drank what he
presente at j was water Sunday, lit his
I cigar, blew the smoke and the igni
tion of his breath tolJ him the first
that he knew of his mistake. He had
swallowed gasoline.
Captain Davis is not seriously sick
as the result of the wrong beverage.
But he has suffered somewhat. He
was full of cold and neither tasted nor
j smelled one of the vilest of liquids,
j Thinking that the water glass had
water only, he swallowed the contents
Sunday afternoon and striking the
match for his cigar, he was horrified
to see a blaze before him. The smell
of gasoline, the fu.nes and the suffo
cation following gave him the paleness
of death, but he had put the fire,
with no damage worse than the over
coming. His face was not blistered
nor is there any danger of blood pois-
s>ning.

The Senate passed the Ivey bill for
the regulation of automobiles, fixing
the scale of taxes at $5 up to 25 horse
