subject of “V/here are the Dead.” The
human race are going down to death at
the rate of 92000 for every day in the
year, where are they? What has be
come of them? These are some of the
questions that have bothered us all our
lives and but few of tbem have received
satisfactory answers. Mr. Wisdom
handles this subject from the Bible
standpoint and through a flood of
light upon these perplexing questions.
The object of this lecture is to stimulate
Bible study and all are cordially invited
to come out and hear it. No charge
will be made for seats and no collection
taken. The lecture will be given at

Friday morning of the distressing death
of William A. Rich, one
prominent citizens.
Thursday afternoon late, Mr. Rich,
who v. as an undertaker and embalmer,
went out the Belmont road to disinft-ct
a house in the country, ile was driving
a horse and was in the buggy.. Thac
was the last seen of him alive. The
superintendent of the mill at Belmont
on his way to work Friday morning in
early light found the body lying in the
road, covered with dirt and dust, and
bruised almost beyond recognition. His
horse and buggy returned home without
him Thursday night about 9 o’qiockv
but no special alarm was felt and no
search was made.
The supposition is that the horse ran
away and threw him out and dragged
liini, as there were evidences of the body
having been dragged a mile. It was
found near McBride Holt’s farm, three
miles from Graham. There is no
evidence of foul play, so it seems an
accident that no one can describe.

Great Prosperity ot The
South.
. (Harper’p Weekly.)
“The best year since the war,” is a
common exptession in the Atlantic and
Gulf states. The tobacco farmers of
Virginia and North CaroUna are getting
top prices for leaf tobacco, thanks to
the real competition, in spite of common
ownership, between the buyers, the
companies of the dissolved tobacco
trust. The drought in Texas and
Oklahoma cut short the Texas cotton
crop a million bales and lifted the
price of cotton. In Georgia two and a
half million bales were produced, which
means, at 500 pounds to the bale, at the
price of 14 cents a pound, $70 a bale,
with $10 added for the cotton seed,
from which is made the poor man’s
butter and the rich man’s salad oil—
S200,000,000 for Georgia’s cotton crop;
$1,120,000,000 for the fourteen million
bales the*south produces this year. The
banks in the cotton belt show greater
assets and deposits than ever before.
The cotton factories are running full
time, in spite of wails of calamity their
owners uttered while the tariff bill
was pending. With the tariff question
settled, the currency bill soon to pass,

Famous “Mona Lisa’'
Painting Found in
Florence
Leonardo Da Vinici’s masterpiece,
“Mona Lisa,” which mysteriously
disappeared from the Louvre in
August, 1911, was found last Friday in
Florence, Italy. The man who stole it
was arrested. He is an Italian.
The painting is in the hands of the
Italian authoriti^^s and will be returned
to t ranee.
“Mona Lisa” or “La Joconde, ” as it
is more popularly known, chemo.'it cele
brated portrait of a woman ever painted
has been the object of exhaustive
j search in all quarters of the globe.
The picture was> recovered under cu
rious circumstances. An Italian wrote
to Signor Geri, an antiquiry of ^
Florence, some weeks ago, saying:
“Am in possesion of the missing j
Mona Lisa, but, -being a patriotic Ital- j
ian, I desire that it shall remain in
Florence, the center of Italian art”
He signed the letter “Leonard.” The
antiquiry at first paid small attention to
it, thinking he had to deal with a mad
man. Later, however, he communicated
with Dr. Poggi, director of the Floren
tine museums, who suggested that he
continue the correspondence.
An appointment was arranged where
by Geri was to view tbe picture at
Milan. The date set was November 10,
Important Question
Mr. Editor:-
I note that the new Orange Countv
road is being graded near the Presby
terian chur'jh and it is a ni»:e piece of
work. Now, the question is what will
the town tf Mebane do aoc-ut the
road through town? It would be a
shame to let this piece of road stop at
the Orange county line. There are
two low places that always get very
muddy in the winter, just after leav
ing this new Orange rond. The town
of Mebane cannot afford to leave this
road in its present shape. Right now
is the time to»lo this work. No doubt
the contractor v/ho is doing the Orange
work would do the grading, etc much
cheaper now, than we could possibly
have it done a little later on. This is
an important matter and 1 hope you
will call the peoples attention to it in
tha colums of your paper.
Citizens.
Just A Hitting
On Tuesday morning, an observer,
accurately counted forty-eight (48)
packages of whiskey taken off the East
bound train.
The greater part of this vhiskey, we
venture to say, is going to be retailed
by unlawful whiskey dealers. It’s
positively a disgrace. And furthemore,
any person who patronizes these dealers
is unfit and unworthy to be called a
decent citizen
There is enough energy and money
spent to make laws and what’s the use
of them if our citizens do not uphold
them? Every man should considtr it
his moral duty to expose and report
these whiskey trafficers.

dressed, visited Geri. He said he was
“Leonard,” and was staying at the
Hotel Tripoli. He asked Geri to go
with him to see the picture. Signor
Geri notified Dr. Pog^i, who hastened
to the hotel, and on being shown the
painting, recognized it as the genuine j
“Mona Lisa.” '
Dr. Poggi asked to be allowed to take
the picture with him so that he might
compare it with other works. He made
an appointment to meet Leonard at
the hotel to agree upon the price. The
director took with him several officers,
who placed the man under arrest.

[ Good Teeth Essential To
Good Health.
Bad teeth and tuberculosis go hand
in hand, gathering a harvest yearly
that is appalling. So true is the above
statement that if the facts were full.y
realized every child in cur countr.y
would be compelled to submit to a
dental examination before being
accepted as a pupil.
It is estimated along scientific investi
gated lines that there are upward of
9,000,000 children with bad ti»eth in the
public schools, and only a portion of
these children receive treatment or at
tention.
Now, just listen to S. Adolphus
Knopf. M, D,, in the New York Medi*
cal Jonrnal; “Impaired digestion is
often one of the first symptoms of
tuberculosis, and this impaired digestion
is not infrequently due to a bad condi
tion of the teeth.
Ulcerated teeth may give entrance
into the bones to tubercie bacilli acciden
tally ir.haled or ingested or as a result
of secondary infection. It is almost
impossible to cure tuberculosis patients
with no teeth or with bad teeth.
The lack of dental care in childhood
has often brought about a general mal-
nutritio:"!, anemia and chlorvanenial,
m dformation of the maxillary bones
resulting from the loss of teeth,
enlarged and suppurating cervical
glands and many other ailments.
Bad teeth, decayed teeth or the loss
of teeth during childhood, its con
comitant discomfort, pain, depression
of spirit and lack of appetite produce
that physiological povert^ which
renders the delicate system of the child
not only more prone to tuberculosis, to
the invasion of the germs of serious
acute contagious diseases such as
measles, diphtheria, scarlet fever, but
also susceptible to nervous affections
such as hysteria, chorea and St. Vitus
dance.
Dr. Knopf has nothing to gain in
telling you this. You could not employ
him if you desired. He is one of the
unchartered Good Cheer men that
spend time, money and a ripe medical
knowledge to assist the masses free.
You can readily realize that gocd
teeth in childhood means freedon* from
many diseases and a longer life. Wise
mothers are giving increased attention
to the teeth of youngsters.

How Experts Differ.
A short while ago a surgeon of
Europe declared that drinking water
too abundantly had a tendency to cause
appendicitis. He backed this assertion
by certain statements, including one
that of many operations performed by
him for appendicitis he found that a
laige percentage of the patients were
big water drinkers. Now comes an
American physician who disputes this.
He differs in strong manner and con
tends that water will not cause appen
dicitis, but, on the contrary, will help
dispel many troubles ard prevent
others So there yoii are. Take your
pick. For our part we would rather
accept the word of the American
physician; not through any spirit of
patriotism, but because it sounds more
reasonable, and that is what the lay
man has got to go by when two
scientific opinions, wide apart on the
same subject, are presented. It sounds
more logical that water, pure water,
of course, should help the human system
rather than impair it. The washing
process alone should prove beneficial.
We can't imagine how water would
injure, while we can readily understand,
or think we can, how water could
cleanse the system; hov/ water in
abundance would perform a watching
process. Just which opinion is right
the layman could hardly say, but as
long as there are two entirely different
opinions he is justified in taking his
choice.—Wilmington Dispatch.
