I Ihere are two tickets in the field, j excepting for the Mayor, Wr. John i Shaws name appearing on both of the of Mebanes most popular youpg people. Miss Harris is the daughter of Mr. Charles Harris who resides about a mile North of Mebane, she is a young lady of decidely attractive personality, has a large circle of friends, Mr. Corbett is a successful business man very popular among all who know hmi. ■;che Scott, sister of Mrs. J. jiton, came down Tuesday . u: ham, she will spend a few i. ! l visiting her sister. i Mrs, Joe Vincent havemov- the house formerly owned by York, just south of the graded ’ ar : will be at home to their - ^'laytie and Ivey Brown, Mag- E.iie Brooks, Bertha and Al- rvf and Tillie Hudgins from ■ were visitors in Mebane i h game of ball played on ' ‘'all ground Friday last be ■ ham and Mebane team re- a score in favor of Bingham ^\arehollse Company Organized. Thursday nieht April 24 at the home | of the Elks’ club in Greensboro a j meeting was held for the purpose of j organizmg the company that is plan I ning to erect a new tobacco warehouse on Green street. Being a meeting of I great importance, having for an end the i upbuilding of the business interests in i Greensboro there was a large attendance ! Nearly all the stock has been taken,and | the remaining shares will be taken in the next few days. 1 The McAdoo Change hands The reason given for the second ticket was that it was claimed that certain sections of the tow.i were not given prop3r representation on the first I ticket. There seems to be a disposition 1 o 1 the part of the partizan of both ! tickets to fight it out at the polls, there j is however a conservative element that I would deplore the bitterness that would i follow from a factional fight, and have suggested a compromise. As will be seen elsewhere a telegram j has bee.i received by us from Mr W. ! E White, at that tmio at Shreve Port I La., statiiig most po.-itively that he j wouid not accept a position upon the board of Commissioners of the town of Mebane. This .settled, ♦he matter, and j a number of gentlemen who were instrumental in nominating the first ticket met Tuesday right and substi- tated Mr. John Holmes in Mr. Whites place. This act meets the original wishes of the fifth street people, who v.’anted a man to represent the South side. Mr. Holmes high character, and p^eneral fitness for the place, should eminently qualify him in the estimation of the good peopl'3 of Mebane. Those representing the original ticket have this act exhibited a concileatory I spirit, and we trust it will be met with, ; that hearty whole soul feeling that i prompted its offer. I There can be no reason for criticism o^ that portion of Mr. Whites telegram Efland Items. Miss Sallie. Efland spe»rt. the day last Wednesday in Hillsboro shopping.

It is suggested that the ii.come tax method of raising revenue is d«}atin€d to become unpopular, and one of tke principal reasons alleged for this statement is that the exemption has heen made too low. It is argoed thst $5,000 would have been low and that people enjoying ineomeo 6e- low that sum ought not to be com-' pelled to donate to the support of the government. In this respect, however, the States is far behind or ahead, accord ing to the view, of other countries who lay an income tax. In England the amount exempted is $750. In Prussia income under $225 are ex empted; in Austria the exemption is about $113. In Italy they go down as low as $77,20. In the Netherlans all under $260 escsipe, and in Zurich, Zint- zerland, income under $100 are exem pted. at the McAdoo when you will be treated all in Greensboro right.

The graduates headed the pupils, and were followed by the Tomato Club girls in . their charming costumes, the Corn j Club hoys, and the Domestic Science girls in their dainty caps. The line of march was to the courthouse, around it, and back to the graded school grove, where the exercises were held. County Superintendent J. B.
