We regret to learn that such a condition does exist, but as it does, we beg that Mrs. Kee not become discouraged, or give up heart in the matter, but ask that she try again, announce a meeting of the Bridge Club, and after the crowd as sembles, jp*t before they begin that facinating game spring the civic league business upon them, it might be re garded as extremely cruel, but busi ness is business. Mebane, N. C. March 7, 19131 Mr. W. E. White Mebane, N. C. Dear Sir:- Your statement in letter addressed to Hon. J. Elmer Long and published in Mebane Leader that I ‘‘informed” you, which was in reply to your direct inquiry as to amount at com missions turned over to the county by the different offifers on salary, that the Sheriff di 1 not turn over commis- sibns on taxes for 1912, would have been correct, but your statement that “I informed you that the bill was drawn with the provision that it would not affect his> commissions on the taxes during this term” is not correct. You know or should know, if you claim responsibility, as you intimate, for this bill, that the bill provides that the county gets all commissions on taxes except for 1912. When in the future you find it necessary to quote me, please be accurate. Sincerely yours, Chas F. Cates. Hillsboro Items Mr. J.

J. Elmer Long, dated February ,21st in regard -to tne salary of the sheriff of Alam ance Ccunty (which appeared in last week’s Leader) I stated “I am in formed that the bill was drawn fixing the salary of the County officers with the provision that it would not affect their commissions on the taxes during this term.” I want to correct this as I am in error, and should have stated. ' ‘Drring this year or for the taxes of 1912.’• I ask you to please publish this letter as I have through an error misquoted Mr. Charjes F. Cates in tbis matter. However, tms does not change my contention that it was understood and agreed with all the parties who were responsible for this bill that the sheriff was not to be paid any commissions after his salary went into effect, and I still contend that it is an injustice to the tax payers of Alamance County. I am informed that the fees turned into the County Treasury for the month of December from the sheriff’s office amounted to only about $10.00, and the County paid to the sheriff and his deputy salary of $250.00 for December. I still contend that the sheriff and his deputy should not be paid the commissions in addition to his salary. Yours very truly, W. E. White. FIGHT BEGINS Whole Sale Liquor Dealers Seek Tenjporary Injunct ion to Restrain Southern Express Co. From Refus ing Shipments. Wholesale liquor'dealers in Richmond and Petersburg applied to Judga Wad- dill of the United States District Court for a temporary injunction to retrain the Southern Express Company from refusing to accept liquor for shipment to points in South Carolina. The pro ceeding is the first attack upon the con stitutionality of the Webb Kenyon bill, which passed both branches of Con gress over President Taft’s veto. On the ground that the South Caro lina dispensary act of 1896, when taken on conjunction with the Webb-Kenyon act, threatens every employe with fine and imprisonment should the carrier undertake to forward liquor shipments to any point in the State, the South ern Express Company in Richmond has since March 5 refused to accept fur ther consignment. >mans suits and cloaks is the tading feature of Ellis-Stone and Co., r this week.

T he attention of our readers is dir- tcti (J to the new advertisement of Miss paret Clegg of Graham who an- s her spring Millinery opening ia to take Cutting The University. All over the State people are ask ing from what motive the University alone was made the victim of a cut. It cannot be that the University’s needs are less than they were; they are certainly greater, and every pos sible economy is unable to prevent deficits now. It cannot be that the University—whose history is’the his tory of North Carolina—has become less vital to the State, and especially to the State’s system of public schools. Yet this cut was dealt at the University i and oyer the heads of the Appropria tions Committee primarily responsible for keeping totals within bounds. It went side by side with enlarged appropriations for nearly everything else, most of them justified. It is indeed hard to account for on any supposition. We earnestly trut that it will not pass both hou»«es and become law.—Charlotte Observer. Miss Recie Crawford is spending a few weeks with her sister Mrs. Ernest Reynolds of Charlotte.

Electric Lights Assured At a r^rular meeting of the board of Alderman of Mebane held last Thursday night the 6inst., all members and the Mayor being present, a fran chise for 50 years was granted the Piedmont Electric Light Company of Burlington to furnish lights for the town of Mebane, and at which time a contract was entered into with said electric company to have them furn ished for the streets of Mebane 20 lighU of 100 wat power each, for the sum of S24 per year, subject to a dis count of 10 per cent The Piedmont Electric Co,, will reach Mebane prepared to furnish all streets, and residence lights that may be desired, as well as electric power at a very reasonable cost. The Mebane Leader has earnestly and persistently plead for lights from the first day of its publication here four years ago. Tlie people wanted lights, they saw the need of them, and should the town have had them sooner, they would have contributed much to the prosperity of the place as a means of advertising Mebanes, advantages, and conveniences. We have had our say on this subject, and those who have been readers of the Leader know what that has been. The lights will be of immense ser vice to Mebane, and it will be a narrow individual indeed who will not be able to see and appreciate it. Hur rah for Mebane and her improvements. The lights are t6 be installed about the latter part of May. Spices That Will Preserve Food. To preserve food so that it will be fit for use at some distant day some thing must be added to it to prevent the growth of the minute organisms which result in what we call “spoiU ing.” For this purpose benzoate of soda was widely used until Dr. Wiley and other experts declared it harmful to the human system. Recent experiments in the bacteri- ^logical laboratories of the University of Wisconsin show that th^re are sev eral spices to be found in everj’ kit- chen^ which will preserve food as ef fectively as benzoate of soda and with out any danger to health. Both cinnamon and mustard possess valuable antiseptic proi>erties on ac count of the large [quantities of aro matic oils which they contain. Cinna mic aldehyde is the most active anti septic constituent of cinnamon. One* fiftieth ot a gram of this added to 100 grams of apple sauce was found to prevent spoiling indefinitely. Ordinary cloyes have equally power ful antiseptic properties, but are un desirable on account of the strong burning taste they give the food. Ginger, blacic pepper and cayenne pepper have no value what ever as food prcs^-rvatives. Nutmeg and all spice retard the spoiling for a few days, but not long enough to make them of any practical value. The only way to avoid criticism in this world is to do nothing, say noth ing, go into a hole and puU the hole in aft^er vou.^Elbert Hubbard. Tobacco Sales February. For Sales of leaf tobacco on the various markets of ! North Carolina showed a big decrease for February, not quite half the number of pounds sold a year ago, according to the figures of the department of agriculture. The dapart- ment is still bothered by warehouse men failing to send in reports properly. The sales for last month amounted to 4,354,143, as against 9,468,481 a year ago. Winston-Salem as usual, led in the number of pounds. The sales follow: Winston-Salem 1,343,207 The Inciting: Cause. The crusade against the “Arson Trust” is reported to haye reduced the number of fires in New York by 30 per cent, in January and February, 1913, as compared with the same months last year. That the reform will continue to progress at this rate is too much to hope unless some ef fective steps are taken to put an end to the acceptance of ‘’rotten risks’' by the insurance companies. The sur est way to get rid of an effect is to re move the inciting cause.— Norfolk Pilot. 4 Think truly, and thy thoughts Shall the world’s famine feed; Speak truly, and each word of thine Shall be a fruitful seed; Live truly, and thy life shall be A great and noble creed. —Horatms Bonar.

Oldest Living Tree On the firing line of the Zapata uprising in southern Mexico, in peril from cannon fire and musketry, stands the oldest living thing in the world —the famous cypress in the church yard of the village of Santa Maria del Tule, in the intendency of Oaxaca, two and one-half leagues east of that city. Dr. Herman Von Schrenk, of St. Louis, is to determine scientifically the approximate age of this Nestor of the whole vegetable kingdom. Experts, judging by the gigantic bole of the Santa Maria del Tule cypress and by the slow growth of this species, have estimated the age of the patriarch of all trees to be between 5,000 and 6,000 years.

A man who id a great dictator of j dramatic destinies in this country and | in Europe said of a lad whom he had just engaged as office boy: “He will get on, he smiles. ” The man who him self had risen in a few years from the stafe when he joined street pa rades to “advenrtise the show,” had the smiling habit. He believed that he had in part smiled his W4y to success and no doubt he bad, for at least half of success consists in the co-operation of those who work for and i^ith us, and his “people” address him by bis initials, loving him as a father or an elder brother. “He is so considerate and cheerful and he smiles the rough places smooth,” is their explanation of their abiding loyalty.

The report of the Bureau of Labor toucning last year,s advance in the prices of coal only gives official con firmation to what was generally known at the time—that the anthracite min- ii\g and transportion companies made the pretense of meeting the increased cost of production create by an in • crea8*»d in the miners’ wages the op portunity for robbing the coal con sumers of the country. The govern ment authorities estimate that at an- increased tax of nearly $13,500,000 has been exacted from the consuming pub lic in order to meet an increased wage bill of $4, OC0,000, the difference going into the pockets of the companies. In other words, for every dollar yielded to the miners, the companies have ex torted something over three dollars from the consumera In this there is really nothing new. The same thing has happened every time there has been a readjustment of the miners’ wage scale in the past, and will continue to happen so long as the coal-mining and coal-transportation companies maintain their present mon opoly. The public, of course, expects to have to pay the increase eyery time wages are advanced; and if the ele vation of prices stopped with the ac tual amount of the increase in wages there would be but little disposition to kick on the part of the public. But when such advances in wages are made the excuse for doubling and trebling the tax on the consumers, surely the latter have good right to sequel. And just as sure is it that the power ought to reside somewhere to put an end to what amounts to nothing less than highway robbery and a shameless “hold-up.” When the individual is helpless to protect himself against out rageous extortion of this character, the duty of constituted authority ti» step in and furnish relief is imperative.>^ —Norfolk Pilot MEBANE METHODIST PRO TESTANT CHURCH The Fei Curs of the Legis lature Preaching each 2nd and 4th at 11 a. m. and every Sunday Sunday school 9:45.
