It Is Learned It is learned that Postmaster Gen eral Burleson will issue a statement in regard to his policy toward fourthclass postmasters early next week. Mr. Burleson, it is known, will put into ef fect a plain whereby postmaster will have to take a civil service examina tion. It is thought he will declare all foorthclass postoffices vacant and hold competitive examinations and then aele^ from the eligible. Let Us have,a Square Deal That a portion of the road running from Carr, Corbett, and Cedar Grove and Pro^)ect Hill, into the macadam road at Back Creek bridge north of Mebane is said to be in a~ very bad condition, or that portion at least in Alamance county. Something should be done to improve its condition. Its an important road, and it is stated that Orange county has been very generous in w(Mrkfa)g tliis particular piece of road, or that portion which passes through the county. It is quite up to some one to see that Alamance gets a square deal in this matter, so far she has not got it. Hillsboro Items. Mrs. V. 8.

Don’t make a nuisance The Civic League. Dear Editor Having read sev^jfi articles in prominent papers and m.^'gazines calling attention to the fact that this coming summer will b? a ve^ bad one for diseases, on account of the increase in flies, owing to oor mild winter, I am prompted to write this, quoting the following in part from the New York American.' **This prophecy is based upon the fact that there will be a billion times as many flies this Spring as there were irf the July and Augusts of the last fourteen years. That every fly is the harbinger of disease and possible death is too well known to be nrgued about in this article, and it naturally follws that such an increase of ^^he c^isease and death-bringfng flies means an increase of the diseases of Infancy, for it is t'ne little ones that suffer most from the plague of the germcarrying house fly. The remedy is to begin now and fight the flies. Search your house as though you were looking for a two-caret aiamond you knew were there, hunt up every fly in every cranny and crevice and kill it. Each fly jiilled now means 12,000.000 less flies by June 1. And when the warm weather comes keep up the fight with screens and traps and poisons, and above all with searching out the breeding places and destroying them. These breeding places are in out houses, garbage cans, open guters. decaying fruits and vegetables, exposed market edibles, mosses, ferns, green groceries, butcher shops, thatched shingles and all exposed liquids and foods. Le*" every man, woman ard child begin the great fight and keep it up. Eternal welfare on the fly is the only price of freedom from dread disease. Kill a fly to-day and “there’s twelve million flies less!” And do not stop until you are certain every fly in your house has bcenkiUed. Thenketp up the search copstantty.” Why can’t we clean up Mebane? It will be a Christian and chariatable act. Everybody clean up their own premises and then send your name to the Edikor of the Leader and say you v/ill join a Civic League. To start it off, here is my name. Mrs. C. J. Kee.

They Waint Congress To Remoye Eight Cent Revenue Tax on Tobacco The called meeting of the members of the Fanners’ union of the bright tobacco belt of Vii^inia and North Carolina was held at ReidsVille, March 29. The meetings were behind closed (ioors and only members of the union were allowed to gain an entrance to the deliberotions. State President H. Q. Alexander, of Charlotte. T. E. Dicker son, president of the Houston, Va., dry prixwry, and P. M. Comw, president ot the Danville dry prizery, made the prin cipal addresses. Allens Electrocuted. Floyd Allen laid the death penalty for his part in the Hillsville court tragedy last Friday afternoon at 1:32 o’clock and at 1-.36 at Richmond the death-dealing current was shot into the body of Claude Swanson Allen. When Lieutenant Governor EUyson Friday morning granted the Allens a respite of five hours, the friends of the doomed men began to hope that the sentence would be commuted, but Governor Mann returned to the city later in the day and all efforts came to naught, as the governor remained unmovable to all pleas, and the court’s sentence was carried out. Draw The Distinction The promise to revise the Tariff “without disturbing business” is too vague t>j be satisfactory. It should be qualified into “without disturbing le gitimate business." For any revision that does not terminate the privilege now enjoyed by monopolistic business of taking exhorbitant toll of the mas ses of the American people will Jack I the character of reform, and falsify the pledges in reliance on which a de mocratic administration was called in rower. —Va.

DRUNK ON^THTWATER ' rOWER. A Performance That Caused Newton Women to Faint and Made ‘^Strong Men Shudder.” (From The Enterprise.) Ml. Sum Hendricks gave the peo ple of the northern part of Newton an exhibition of mid-air daring that beat the high dive act of the Smith car nival a hundred per cent. With four bottles of beer in hi«« pockets he climbed the ladder to the top of the 165-foot town water tank. He sat astraddle of the canopy, drank his beer and threw the bottles to the ground- Then he descended to the circular platform, twelve feet lower which is only three feet wide, and danced jigs and made speeches to the crowd on the ground. The women cried and two of them fainted and some of the men left to be oat of sight when the expected fall should come. A policeman was sent for to bring him dowr, but he decided that he was above the jurisdiction of the town court After enjoying the Easter high air currents and the sights of the city of Hickory for about an honr and despairing of the policeman’s company, he came down. But he disdained the use of the ladder in the descent. He climbed down the straight column on the opposite side rf the tank, using the V shaped c..ossbars for hand and foQt hold. ‘Clean up Day’ Thing. Good lie. The simplified spelling board of l?ew York has issued it fourth list of words to appear in new fashio.ied orthogr-aphy Approximately one thousand words are shortened or changed in spelling. “In considering th^se new spelling,” the board said in announcing the new list, “do not be too much influenced by the old appearance of the word. Any change must look odd at first. Consid er, 1 ather, whether the change will bring a real gain if the public should accept it.” Some of the changes are: Dropping the silent H in such words as chaos and chamelion; dropping the final K in words like Hammock; changing heart and hearth to hart hnd harth; dropping the ailent ]|& in money and similar words substituting laf for laugh and cof for cough; omitting the g in gnat, gnome and similar words; substituting nee itnee and'nic-nac for knick knack and dropping the K ia similar words; chang ing pranced to pranst and other words ending with need to nst. In the new list touch is spelled tuch; serious is changed to serius; blow is spelled bio; bellow is changed to bello; forced to forst; phantom to fantom; handsome to hansum, boss to bos; glue to glu; and wretch to retch. Each of these in stances typifies a rule and is followed by a long Jist of words to which it applies. Ardrew Carnegie, Theodore Roose velt and a score of other noted men are included in the list of the board's members. Daytons Deplorable dition. Con- In a number of towns we note a clean up day has already been designated, what will our town do regarding the matter of cleaning up? It is plainly evident that it should do something. Every day’s delay means that the stagnant places In the streets and' ditches have just that much done on the work of making a sickly town. Fly time is almost here and every precau tion should be used to keep them down. The town commissioners will no doubt strike a popular cord if they will en gage some of the idle labor about town in the construction of streets and side walks. With a little effort Jonesboro can be made the prettiest town in the state and this effort should be made. The popular saying that, “Jonesboro is dead” is absolutely senseless inasmuch as we have the wherewithal to wake it up.—Lee County News. A Light From the West An effuleence appears on the horizon, coming from the general direction of Springfield, 111. “In hoc tigno vincit,” cries Tariff Reform. Standpatism, prone, even if, as Mr. Cannon avers, not yet counted out, stirs and groans. It is indeed the dawn—this aureole of Jim Ham Lewis’ flame-whiskered countenance; the oriflamme of victor ious Democracy. The Democrats need ed one more senator, a tariff reformer staunch, tried, proven. It is plumb in line with the eternal fitness of things that James Hamilton should be that senator; he whom nature has glorified with the’ hue of victory.— Asheville Gazette News. A BriPt Summary of The Allens'. Victor Allen a few months before the crime that ended in the electrocution of the two Allens last Friday, had been a government witness in a moon- shinning case. He was sullen and the testimony he gave was decidedly in favor of the defendant, A few weeks afterward he was arrested on a charge of perjury. Floyd Allen assaulted the officers when they seized Lis son, but they managed to take the young nr an, mad with rage, to jail. On March 1, 1912, after a trial of two days on the perjury charge. Judge Massie instructed the jury. The little court room was packed and as Prose cuting Attorney Thornton L. Foster dared to excoriate not only the defend ant but his father the crowd gasped in surprise. When the jury returned there was a quick movement toward the judge’s l^nch and when the foreman of the jury announced a verdict of guilty, with a screaming oath Floyd Allen whipped his hand to his pocket. The other Allens crowded close and crouch ed low behind spuring weapons. Sheriff Webb, who had drawn when Floyd made his deadly move, dropped at the first volley. Then came pand- emony. Screams, the rush of terror ized men, women and children, and the crack of pistols mingled with the oaths of the Allens as they scattered leaving the little room empty save for its dead. Claud Allen was shot through the foot. Clerk of Court Dex ter Goad, who shot him, had a bullet in his jaw and jurors and spectators who had stampeded for the doo^were aern anVwertem New Yoi'are wounded. But the Allens, Floyed ex cepted, escaped, unsratched. Then began a siege in the Blue Ridge mountains that has never been equalled in the wildest fiction. After weeks of manhuntii^ and trailing Sidna Edwards was captured. Half starved, he offered no resistance. Then in suc cession came the capture of Victor Allen and Clande. Both gave up with out a show of fight. Sidna Allen and Wesley Edwards, whom the hunters wanted most of all as wielders of the fatal guns, were captured six months later in Des Moins, la., on a clew which Eld wards’ sweetheart unwittingly furnished.

The Flood in Epitome Revised estirratea of the loss of life in Dayton Ohio, received give ground for hope that the dead in all sectiony* affected by the flood will not exceed 2,000 and may go below that figure. Dayton investigators who penetrated the flooded ^ction revealed hundred i of whom it was feared were lost. Unless swelled by death list in the foreign settlements on the north side, as yet unreached, there may not be more than 200 in« the whole city. There was far heavier loss of life in the west side of Columbus, Ohio, 4han was thought. One estimate placed the number of dead at more than 600. Apparently authentic reports from Pique indicated that 20 were dead there. At Peru, Ind., the authorities esti mated the death list would reach at bast 150. From Hamilton, Ohi?, 50 persons were reported drowned in the collapse of a hotel where they had sought re- tuge Twenty-fi ye deaths were reported from Troy, Ohio; 30 in Middletown and five'at Massilion. Deaths from the flood in Chilli cothe, Ohio, will not exceed 25, according to latest advices. Earlier reports were that from 200 to 500 lives had been lost, A report from Linton, Ind., gave 16 persons drowned at Howesville, 25 ,miles south of Terre Haute. There were 10 deaths in Sharon, Pennsylvania. Estimates are that 70,000 persons are marooned in Dayton’s flooded dis trict where 15,000 homes have been submerged. Rescue stations are pro viding for 5,000 homeless. The pro perty damage in the city is figured $25,000,000. Alarming reports were frequent dur ing the day. In most cases these were quickly contradicted. Rumors that the Grand reservoir, near St. Marys, O., has broken, proved unfounded. Simi lar reports about the Lewiston reser voir likewise were found to be untrue. Threatened breaks in both were re ports to Governor Cox at Columbus indicated that the danger from this source was past. Latest reports from Zanesville are that 150 liv^-s are believed to have been lost there. About 15,000 homeless. A scorce of buildings collapsed. Fire broke out at one point, but it was not believed it would spread- Twenty were found dead among re- fuge§ in the courthousa at Peru, Ind., the victims of exposure, according to a telegram message. Contagion has broke out among the refuges, the re port s^ted. All Dayton suffers who could be reached were fed.' The chief trouble was lack of means for distribution. Provision trains are expected. Flood waters are receeding there. Fires in Dayton’s flooded district subsided, but broke out again. Sightseers are not permitted in the city. Two cars of them on an incom ing train were switched off and left standed below the town. Flood conditions along the Ohio are growing worse. Lowlands in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky are inundated. Still higher stages and further damage is predicted. Flood conditions in West Virginia have become serious. Eastern Penn sylvania is suffering severely. Many anthracite mines are shut down. Vandalism in West Indianapolis caused a threat of martial law. Sev eral deaths fram drowning have oc* cured. Organized relief work has been begun in Indiana flood districts. Nor- flood stricken. Heavy property damage has followed in the Hudson and Mohawk valleys and in the western part of the southern tier. Trail.s are moving with food, med ical help and supplies and other neces saries into the flood territory. Pro gress is slow on account of washouts and tottering bridges. The railroads are working hard to make repairs. Relief funds are swelling through out the nation. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are already available. The Red Cross is playing a prominent part in the relief measures. Seven states are seriously affected by the widening flood area. They are Ohio, Indiana, West Virginia, Pennsy- vania. New York, Kentucky and Il linois In all these railroad trafic is paralyzed or greatly hampered. Dam age to railroad property alone may reach $2{>,000,000. Teleerraph and telephone wirt^ are down on all sides. Large forces are making repairs, but progress isslow. Some of the little brained, small soul, atoms of humanity, image supercilious arrogance, an evidence of a superior animal, perhaps so with the monkey instinct. _ MEBANE METHODIST PRO TESTANT CHURCH Preaching each 2nd and 4th Sunday at n a. m. and every Sunday night.
