Mr. Billy iViebane Dead William A. Mebane. an honored and useful citizen, died at his home two mUes south of of Mebane at 5 o’clock on Sunday morning. He was a son of Alexander Mebane, Esq., and was the last of the children that survived their fatb^^ In 1861 Mr. Mebane entered the military service of the Southern Con federacy and rose to be lieutenant of Com|)any F. 6th regiment, N. C. troops and bore a noble part in all the heroic achievements of the regiment, from first Manassas to Appomattox. Since the war he has led the quiet life of the old- time Southern gentleman, faithful and obedient to duty as he had been in camp and on the battlefield. In 1868 he made a public protossian of his faith in Christ and' became a member of the church at Hawfields, and held membership in that ancient body until his death. A widow who was at first Miss Andenon, survives him, with t ire6 bons and three daughters. Thj funeral a simple and touching service, was conducted by the pastor Rev. Mr. Goodman, at the home and the burial was in the family section of the cemetery at Hawfields. Alamance has had many noble sons but never, ^ as was said of Septimas Harding, “A j sweeter gentleman a better Christian.” Mr. Mebane had almost completed his j T6th year.

One of the State’s hortidultural experts says that while reports from some of the peach orchards near South ern Pines state that the cold snap in February virtually killed many of the trees, none were hurt in the big orch ards at Candor, only 15 miles away.

Near the conclusion a collection was taken up which was liberaly contributed too. Much credit is due Mrs. M. M. Mc Farland for the excelent training of the children, for their songs and several parts. Wood lawn. Four years ago Miss Annie Lashley began teaching at Woodlawn School House At that time rhe began in a small log house with no ceiling over head and the rudest of seats and furniture. When strained to the limit the school paid about *90.00 a year. It was the happy privilege of the writer to be present at the closing exercises of Woodlawn Academy. It was my first visit to this place. On arriving I found one . of the best and most up-to date country school houses in the county. The hous3 is well finished and the seats and furniture are of the best. Because the school had been doing very little the people had no heart in it and very little interest taken in the matter. Miss Lasley began the work and infused new life and hope in the school. As a result the splendid new building is there, the people a unite of interest and enthusiasm for the support of the school a great awakening among the young people looking toward intellect ual development and the schosl now pays about $700.00. It is needless to say that both patrons and pupils are very anxious for Miss Lasley to return at the beginning of the fall term. Four years ago the school term was from two and a half to three and a hixlf months. It now runs eight months. The whole affair was much in advance of the average on such occasions, of course a f*^w faithful people in the community seeing the great need of better school advantages, have been Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Smith and baby Mabel of Greensboro visited relatives near Efiand Saturday nigjht and Sunday. Mr. James H. Caldwell of Winstor- Salem visited relatives near Efiand last Sunday week ago.

Dear Sir:- * I am just in receipt oT 5>our state ment for one dollar covering my sub scription to the Mebane Leader for the year * nding April 29tb, 1913 I enclose herewith my' check for $2 00 on the City National i ank of San Antonio, lexas, covering the en closed stau ment and also in payment of my subscrij tion for year ending .A.pril 29th, 1914. I Wdu'd not want to be without the Leader for a single is sue, as I know of nothing that gives me more pleasure 'than to read of the “Doings” of Mebane and her good citizensh'p. I fed li!ce w'rit ng a little > istory thl3 afternoon, and if you will be real indulgent, 1 will give it to you. It has now been something like eight years since .1 left the - then - bttle town of Mebane, even before you came to dwell there, an*l though I may yet be awav from there eighty times eight, I shall never forget the good times I have had in that beautifully located villiage, and the strong friendships fultivated wilh those good old South ern people who reside there, and who were born to know the real meaning of hospitality. I left Mebane 43 days ^after I had celebrated my 21st birthday, coming to Austin, Texas where I resided until October 1st, 1909. On May .1st, 1909, I connected myself in the capacity ot Stenographer with The Southwestern Telegraph and Telephone^ Company, one of the strong links in the Bell Sys tem, and was translerred to San An tonio on the date mentioned above Since being transferred to San Anto- aio, I have been promoted to Chief Clerk to the Division Commercial Sup erintendent of the above mentioned Company, which position I now hold Now San Antonio is famous for her Climate, which I believe is unexcelled, and her historical settings. It would be impossible for me to do either of the abeve features justice in this com munication, and the next best thing to showing you, is contained in a little booklet mompiled by our Chamber of Commerce, entitled “San Antonio” a copy of which I am sending you un der seperate cover. I am also sending you under seperate j :over a copy of our Daily paper, or rather one of our dailies. The San Antonio Express This is a special edition, known as the “Industrial Num ber” and it will give you an idea of the manner in which this great South west is developing You know we folks out here in Texas feel that we are just about the whole Southwest porti(5n of these United States, and I believe you will agree with me that v/e do not miss it far. To give you an idea as to the immensity of this old State, I will say that representing The South western Telegraph and Telephone Com pany, I visited El Paso about three weeks ago with a party of over 100 San Antonio Business men, on one of those famous Trades Excursions, and we traveled practically two days and one night from San Antonio to El Paso and this was anlj a little over half- across the State. We had a solid train of puUman cars and made good time too. It takes as long to travel from Brownsville, Texas to Texarkana, Texas, as it does from Texarkana, Texas to New York City. Now I will refrain from talking Texas so much, and go back to the “Old North State” which still holds, and will always hold, the first place in my heart. I find that, conditions have changed wonderfully since I left there. For instance; there is Arthur White, B. F. Warren, W 0 Warren, Ralph Vincent, and even W. Y. Malone, who She leaves have taken unto themselves beautiful and loving wives, and who would have thought it. I now h;ive very evident proof that W. W. Corbett is to be next. I am marveled. I trust that all this gossip will not tire you out, and with best wishes fcr your continued success, and hoping that you may yet induce the good ladies of Mebane to form that Civic League, for it will be the making of that town, I am. Very respectfullj' J. D. Malone. Orange Grove Items Orange Grove and vicinity was visit ed several days ago by considerable hail and a heavy rain. The hail was from twoti lour inches deep on the I aves but the damage was not great. Mr. .jt hn Baldwin who has for some time been living near White Cross was buried at Cane Creek Sunday. He was a good man and a Christian. He had been in feeble health for a long time, but until recently had been able to be up. The funeral was preached by Bro. Boyhcom after the regular church ser mon. The many friends and relatives of Mrs. C. R. Teer will be sorry to leam of her continued illness. She was car ried to St Leo’s hospital at Greens boro last Friday and an operation per formed. Dr. Walker of Graham accom panied her. The last reports were that s ie is doing as well as expected under the very serious conditions, but the many friends await nervously and an xiously lurther reports. Up to the present time no teachers has been sect,red for the coming year. The school of our boyhood days still has our best wishes and we should like to sej a collej»e man as principal for the coming year, though we had good tiachers the uast year. There were a number of visitors present at preaching Sunday and Bro. Boughcom preached an excellent ser mon on missions. Mr, Alvis Lloyd who has been con fined to his room for number a of years with rheumatisT. had the misfortune to turn over a rocking chair while set- ting in it about two weeks a>>o and was badly hurt Ke was at his son’s J T Lloyds, where the accident oc- cured and has not been able to be moved.

DESTRtlCSIVE MISSIIE HIWLED INTO COACH Something That Exploded Like a Bomb Frightened Passengers at Statesville. A destructive missile of some kind was thrown against the side of a day coach of eastbound passenger train No. 16 as the train pulled into Statesville Friday right at 11.20 o’clock. Theglass of two windows was broken out and the fact that smoke appeared and there was a loud noise similar to an explo sion led the trainmen and passengers to believe that it was a bomb of s»me^ kind. The broken glass was all that could be found in the car. Fortunately no one was sitting in the seats beside the broken windows, though a passen ger occupied the seat just ahead. On at least two other occasions trains have been rocked in this vicinity and there has been one or more co n ietions for this offense in recent years. Bland and Cherry Lease Famous Seashore Hotel. T.

A Cincinnati dispatch says; “Serious rioting in different parts of the city followed an attempt mar e this morning by the Cincinnati Trac tion company to resume traffice, which has been suspended since noon yes terday as the result of the walkout of its motormen and conductors.” Why should the attempt of the com pany to run its cars have caused riot ing?
