The Vagrant Law
Most all towns in North Carolina are
making the vagrant move on. and any
individual who idles his time a way
si'ting around, who has no visible
means of support is a vagrant, i here
ia nothing truer than an Idle brain is
the devils workshop, and no community
can afford to tolerate that class with
out Buffering. The law demands that
society protect its self from such
characters, and the nearer the law is i
enforced the better for the communities
interest.

The “Deestrick Skule/*
An entertainment given last Friday
night in the graded school building the
"Deestrick skule of fifty years ago"
was well attended, when you take in
to consideration the very inclem‘*nt
evening. Many were debared from
going fearing rain. The characters
were well selected and al! did their
part well Those who were entitled
to credit would include the whole list
of all who took part in the perfor
mance. The stutterer, Miss Olga Long
did soma stunts in the way of dilTicult
expression that brought down the
house. The young men were garbed
in true school boy style, and mimicked
those of 50 years ago.
Sam Thompson was the schK>l mars-
ter and felt that it was his duty to
keen order.. Hf^^bad in ^chiewloaa-hay
nick named Smart Aleck, represented
by E. Y. Ferrell, Sam thought smart
Aleck was making h*m self entirely
too fresh, and that he would have to
warm his jacket if he did not behave
better, smart Aleck did not heed the
warning, so he took him out in the
back shed and dressed the young man.
Smart Alex did not like the scorching
he got at all, so he left school and
said he was going home and tell paw.
The Marster does not know whether
the matter will be taken up by the
school board or not,^ but says if he is
expected to teach school the boys
must 1 ohave.
Daepite the disagreeable evening
there was the neat little sum of $25.(X'
realized. It was a very creditable en
tertainment, gotten up on brief notice.
The Baptist Excursion to
Raleigh
Our Baptist friends of Burlington
last Saturday really over done the
thing, they had arranged to run an ex
cursion to Raleigh, and among other
things sent some circulars here to be
ported for them announcing tne fact
which was done. Quite a number of
people had collected at the depot here
with a view jf going with the excur
sion. About eight o'clock it was rum-
mored that the cars were crowdeJ and
they wdtild have to get more cars from
Greensboro in order to accomodate
those wishing to go, so the 8:50 train
brought down three cars, these were
found to be insurficjent, then they
asked for three more which were brought
down later, making a total of eleven
cars, every one of theiie cars paciced
to the limit, and infact so full was the
train, it passed through Mebane with
out stoppmg, although there was quite
a number here who wanted to go. The
train passed through Mebane about
half past eleven o’clock, returning, it
came back something after nine.
Despite all inconveniences, and delays
every one seemed to have had a great
time. Last year the baptist of Bur
lington run an excursion to Raloigh,
when every body seemed to want to
go,
It Is Interesting to Watch
Mebane Grow
Mebane had the biggest land sale so
far as values are concerned pulled off
Saturday June 28 she evei had. It
was a sale of the Mebane Store Com-
panys lots, cut up into seven lots. The
The first lot was bid off by Mr. J. S.
White 29 X 70 feet for $850.00 the next
was two lots adjoining upon, which the
Mebane Store Companys Store stands,
these two lots were each 29 x 70, and
were bid off by Mr W. E. White for
$2700 The next was a lot 25 feet
front by 79 feet facing and other street
in the reer of the store which was sold
for $700, to VI. E. White. The next
was two lots 25 x 75 each adjoining the
j last, bid off by Mr. J. A. Long of Haw
River for S725.00 each. The next was
two lots North of these on the comer
in front of H. E. Wilkinson and Cos
Store each 25 x 75 these bringing
respectively $860 00 and $920*00. The
property totaled $7,480.00.
The startling feature about this
rratter is this, the Mebane Store Com
pany was incorporated in 1896 and for
a part of the stock taken in the
Company was this propeity just men
tioned when it was held as a whole
the lot then measuring 81 x 200 feet,
was placed in the Company at a
value of $200.
We mention this to illustrate the
\remendeou8 advance real rstate has
made in the past few years In Mebane.
Mebane has a great future, and those
who are watching Mebane grow have
implicit faith in her future-

A coustic arraignment of labor un
ions, in which it ia charged that they
form the “most widespread and ag-
grressively exacting trust in America,”
is contained in the farewell message of
Governor Joseph TVf. BroWri bf'G&orgia
presented to the Georgia legislature
at its opening session.
Governor Brown’s criticism of or
ganised labor is made in connection
with his argument for the enactment
of laws requiring compulsorv arbitra
tion of differences between employes
and emoloyers. He predicates this re
commendation upon the strikes of
employes of the Georgia railroad and
the Augusta Street Railway company
last fall. Both of these strikes, the
governor declares, were “manifestly
indefensible 'and condemnable, ” and
*‘the strikers placed themselves in a
state of open rebellion to the laws of
Georgia.”
“We are brought face to face with
the fact,” the message continues,
“that these unions, or combinations of
employes on public service and other
corporations have forced their wages
above those received by workmen in
all other departments of life who have
not formed ♦hese aggressive'y militant
combinations.
“The trend of the laws of the pre
sent day is to suppress combinations,
or trusts, in restraint of trade. Y t
while it is a matter of public note
that the labor trust is the most wide
spread and aggressively exacting trust
in America, politicians pander to it,
because of its voting power. ^
“The labor unions by combination
which they work through strikes and
kindred methods are aggressively levy
ing a toll upon all the other elements
of our citizenship. They have organ
ized a trust and demand that ail other
people buy labor at whatever price
they choose to put upon it. And con-
tempporaneously they are trying to
force from employment all similar
workmen who do not join their orders,
“I do not declare that all of the
members of the unions are wilful
violators of the law Yet they are the
victims of a system which is breeding
anarchy, which already has put the
state’s constitution in contempt, whi*.h
has relentlessly wronged hundreds of
thousands of their fellow citizens, who
have not offended them, which in plain
words, has applied lynch law methods
to millions of dollars worth of proper
ty.”
Insurance Rates
'^The Statj Journal returns to the
charge. It is still very certain of the
dark evil ways of the “Fire Insurance
trust,” and itsay;-: “Again we charpe
and challenge contradiction, that there
Is no right of appeal to any disinteres
ted tribunal against the aibitary ex
actions of the Fi>e Insurance i'rust in
the matter of rates. The trust has
and exercises the absolute power to
fix and increase rates, and the people
have no refuge except to go uninsured. ”
The moft we know about this fire in
surance buisness is contemplated in the
surface fact, with which we suppose,
the public is fairly familiar, that the
Legislature has devoted to the subject
sufficient time to acquire the informa
tion that should have enabled it to ar
rive at«a right conclusion. L egislative
action was deemed neither wise nor
necessary, a decision that was arrived
at with virtdal unanimity. Those ur>
ging such a course were unable to get
the Legislature seriously to consider
the proposal to tax certain companies
while exempting other companies. Now
the State Journal maintains that lob
bies have been maintained at the state
capital during the session of the Leg
islature, and that the trust doing busi
ness, charactdrized by all of the worst
trust methods.—Greensboro Ncwsr

Simmons Wins a Creat
Victory, an Evidence of
power in Congress.
A political fight wdich has been wag
ed between the factions of the party
headed by Secretary of the Navy Jose
phus D niels' on one side anl Sen
ators Simmons and Overman on the
other, was brought to a close Friday
night last when President Wilson Lent
to the senate the nomination of Alston
D Watts, of Statesville, to be colfec-
tor of internal revenue for the Western
District of North Carolina, A new re
cord was made for confirming a nomi
nation when the senate, within a few
minutes after Wstca’ ns.me was re
ceived upon the floor, allowed his con
firmation to be made without being
referred to a committee, which is the
usual prodeedure.
Senator Simmons today is one of" the
most iK)werful men in the United
States senate and when he told the
President that he wanted Watts ap
pointed and vouched for his integrity
and ability Mr. Wilson couH not re
fuse the request.

Senators Hear From The
People.
There is a rod in pickle for two sen
ators from Louisiana who are making
trouble over the sugar provision of the
tariff bill. Ransdell and Thornton are
fighting to prevent a reduction of the
duty and ultimate free listing, and
thus are in direct opposition to their
party and giving aid and comfort to
the republicans.
That these senators do not represent
the sentiment of the people of Louis
iana is very evident from what has
just happened at Shreveport. The dem
ocrats of that vicinity, stirred by the
attitude of the senators, have issued
a call for a state-\^ ide mass meeting of
their party July 4 to protest against
the sugar schedule, and it is safe to
say that the two senators will hear it.
The call for the meeting declares
that “the tariff rates expressed in the
bill are in keeping with the doctrines
enunciated at the last democratic nat
ional convention and in harmony with
the teachings of the gr^t leaders of
the party.” and furthermore that as
the g»^at leaders of the party,” and
furthermore that as the democracy
won on a plain pledge to reduce the
tariff it is the party's bounden duty to
observe that pledge.
We direct elections of senators now
the law, even the most callous aspirant
to that office is sure to give heed to
what the people demand. Manipulating
the electorate is vastly different from

their God. to their neighbor, and to

there to play before the foot lights, a
creature of emotion, or for what ever
effect you may have upon your neigh

you had better keep quiet and lay low.
But if you have got your heart right,

you are entitled to the floor, and you
shall have a respectful hearing.
