But the Legislature did not i
pnss a hill worth a snap restric-,
ting the sale of deadly weapoiiS.
There were too many lawyers
and they did npt want to stop
the carrying of deadly weapons
there would be less murders,
less work for the lawyers to do.
You say this would not do, this
was not the reas^on, then answer
US what is the reason. Find a
law that abridges the escape of
the criminal class, and see if a
lawyer don’t bob up to fight it.
They grow rich on crime, feast
on the doings of the criminial
class.

A Oivic Club, would do much
to make Mebane clean, and smell
sweete^. Is it not worth while.
Clul'^s seem to be trumps in
Mebane. Clubs lossibly may
stimulate interest in social life,
bat we have never known a
place yet, given much to the
club business that did not in the
end breed a selfish, and narrow
class. They do not conduce to
a broad minded citizenship, to a
high and charitable view of life,
but to narrow snobery.
The Editor of the Leader has
done some very hard, and
persistent labor to bring the
paper to its present thrifty
condition, and it regrets to repeat
the fact that it has accomplished
what it has in the face of
opposition, and injustice from a
number for whom much of its
labor has been expended in
helping.

MINIMUM PUNISHMENT IMPOSED
Judge Peebles, then without any un-.
due ceremony, ^^riPspd sentence upon
the three young nrien, which w:'.s the
minimum penalty exacted in th(^ case
of manslaughter. He pronounced
sentence in these terms; “That each of
the oefe.ndants shall be imprisoned in
the county jail of Orange for four
nr.onths, beginning on 8th day of Ap’-il,
1913. In the meantime each defendant
shall give a bond in the sum of
for his appearance
of Orange county, at Hillsboro, N. C.,
to obey the order of the county com
missioners who shall in their discretion
hire tnem out to whomsoever they
please in this state. The defendants
are to be taxed with the costs of this
action.”
This seems to mean that they
will be hired out to their parents,
and so aside from the odium,
of being convicted for man
slaughter, there seems little in
the trial. This will likely satisfy

CHAIRMAN SIMMONS
, At last the uncertainty, if such ex-
before the sheriff jgi- 'd, as to the chairmanship of the
Senate Finance Co:nn,ittee, is remov-
I ed ai.d the expectations of Senator
Simmons and his friends are fulfilled.
In the mind of The Observer there had
at no time been doubt as to the out
come, the information it gave its read
ers from Washington on February 6
having been positive. V ’ majority of
over 23,000 North Carolina people who
elected him over two of the most popu

which Rand lost his life.
attaches but 1 country are to be congratulated at this
acknowledgement of the worth of
Senator Simmons by his colleagues.—
Charlotte Observer,
We do not know that th6
abolition of the professional
lobbyist from our Legislative
halls would give us an honest
body of Senators, and Represen
tatives, but we do know there
would be less incentive to betray
the interest of the people, and to
protect that of the corporations,
if the .smooth talkers, with
money were kept away from
Raleigh when the Legislature
was in .session, but the Aleghany
member would not like it.
Ralph Pulitzer son of the late

Mayor William Gaynor has

Pulitzer amased a fortune of

GET INTO THE BOOSTING BUSINESS
Do you know there’s lots of people
Sittin’ round most every town.
Growling like a broody chickdn.
Knocking every good thing down.
Don’t be that kind of cattle,
’Cause they ain't no use on earth.
But just be a booster rooster.
Crow an’ boost for all your worth.
If your town needs boostin’, boost her.
Don’t hold back and wait to see
If some other fellow’s wilhn’.
Sail rigntin, this country’s free.
No one’s got a morgage on it.
It’s just yours a§ much as his;
If your town is shy of boosters.
You get in the boostin’ biz.
If things don’t seem to suit you
An’ the world seems kinder wrong,
What’s the matter with a boostin’
Just to help the thing along?
’Cause if things should stop aj^ain.
We’d be in a sorry plight.

Under the old law the treasurer was
paid a small commission for collectiog
and handling this fund. And heretofore
I haye given that commission to those
who looked after it in the different
Townships. But now under the SaJaiy
law there is no provission made lor any
i one to be paiil any thing out of this
[ fund. Therefore, unless some one wil
! volunteer to collect without charge, in
} the townships, I cannot put t.he bocks
out as has been my custom. According
by instruction from the County Corn-
mers., the books will be ac my office
in the court liouse in Graham, and all
persons desiring to pay will pay to me
unless they find fcome one else with
the books.

ago there was a certain Editor in
North Carolina doing just what
Gaynor charged that Pulitzer
had done. He amassed a fortune
by it, apd after he could afford
to be decent he cut it out in a
great measure and now he is
reputed as a great citizen, has
acquired National recognition.
Boost her up with all your might.
If you see some fellow tryin’
^’or to make some project go.
An’ you can boost it up a trifle,
That’s your cue to let him know
That you’re not going to knock it.
Just because it ain’t your shout,
But that you are gomg to boost a little
'Cause he is got the best thing ,^out.5
