OCTOBER 29 1914 No 33 THE LEADER GOES INTO N Now Is An Opportune rime to Help The Leader. We wish to r^quest the sub scribers of The Leader to pay up, the paper, as you know, has iiow changed hands and as Mr. boy, the retiring owner, received all the accounts due for job work and advertisments up until Oct. 23, it will be rather hard for us to make the paper “go” fora tVw weelvs We believe, however, that those in the arrears will rer.pt>nd to our call and pay up. To operate a newspaper neces sitates money, and we should greatly appreciate it if the friends of the paper will lend us a little aid right at this period. We might take the opportunity of saying again that we shall ?trive faithfully to make this a better paper—an organ that will boosting the town. There is not a People Should Patronize The Moving Picture Show. Mebane only has one place of public amusement, and that is the moving picture show. The young men who operate this show are good '♦lean young men, and the pictures which they pre sent are clean and up-to-date. It takes money to operate a motion pic ture show and the people of the town should show their appreciation by patronizing it as much as possible. The pictures would do honor to a town much larger than Mebane. 8NE- SIDED DIET IS CAUSE OF PELLAGRIi Everybody Is Fans When it Comes to Rooting for Mebane. Mebane is indeed “the biggest little town on earth,” There is no doubt but that Mebane does not have a par allel in the South and certainly not in North Carolina, when it comes to The War, It is rather difficult for the average reader to come to any satisfactory con clusion as to the real progress of events in the various localities in which the i fighting is taking place. Probably a j ^ ^ hundred battles ranging from mere { DtSeas»e is in No CoH" skimishep to the fiercest conflicts take j tagioUS Or LllfeCtlOUS^ Re™ place each day along the lines in Wesc- ern Russia and Austria, and eastern France and Belgium. This much, however, can be said; that so long as the allies hold the Germans in check as they have done for the past month, they are gaining substantial advantage. In other words, France and Russia are gaining time to get their forces fully equipped and to enable Great Britain to marshal her recruits, and to train them for a time when Germany and Austria may find their armies worn out and their resources exhausted. always stand for the entire interests of the community and county. ports Dr. Uoldberger.

She leaves a husband, and four child ren, two sons and two daughters and a great number of friends to mourn her death. She was in Her 76 year, she was a good woman and loved by all who knew^ her, and will be greatly missed in the community. She was laid to rest in Cro.*»s Roads cemetery Friday. A large crowd of friends was present to pay their last respect to thi^ good woman, Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Tate took in the fair at Greensboro last week. Mr. H. L Small of Raleigh spent r^unday at home.

What do we have to boast of? There are so many things when we come to think about it, we find them so num- j ero'js that it is almost impossible to j name them all. She has great manu ! facturing enterprises, two tremendous I tobacco warehouses, that cause the : farmers of the surrounding country to ! bring their tobacco here, and they i come daily heavily loaded. There can be found nowhere in North Carolina a section of more prosperous farmers They are money making, intelligent, hardy, god-fearing people. They are men of great fortitude, men who are learning the science of airriculture and its adaptation and application; men who have good homes, plenty to eat, abundance of good clothes to wear, money to send their sons and daughters away to college. We repeat that these men are great exponents and patent factors in making Mebane what it is to-day. With such substantial, and patriotic heroes that we have just mentioned, couuled with the apprecia tive, thrifty enterprising, progressive people of Mebane. I exclaim that no wonder the great Mebane grows; no wonder that she is known from the far away Northwest to the gentle breezes of ihe Southeast, We say, repeat and emphasize that there is .lOt a burg, hamlet or city that can show a more industrious moral virtuous womanhood than the town of Mebane. They participate in the school w’ork, church work. In fact they take part in everything good.

TheRheims Cathedral (From the New York World.) Rheims cathedral was already old, as America recons years, when by the heroism of Joan of Arc the worthless Charles VII was there consecrated with the sacred oil of Clovis. Not many churches in Europe exceed it in dimen sions; none of those that remain sur passes it in beauty and interest as a harmonious whole. It contained tapes tries of the time of Francis I, price less paintings, carvings, vestments. Few shrines now left to Christendom have greater claims to veneration, it did not belong to France, It belonged to the world. For seven hundred years the cathe dral stood scatheless, though “mili tary necessity” again and again scourged the town. Henry IV spared it after Ivry, though Rheims had joined the League. It outlived the iconoclasts of the French revolution , and the ex cesses of the invading allies. The Ger mans who, in 1870, occupied the town and exacted a ransom S])ared its an cient buildings. The Venevians, who bombarded the Parthenon in 1787 had a better excuse, besides that of ignorance and times less “civilized, ” than the Germans who have levelled this ancient shrine. For the Turks had'fortified the \cropolis; ihe greatest damage was done to the Par- j thcnon by the explosion of a po\^ der magazine within its walls. There was no powder magazine in Rheims cathe dral; only A few wounded ii.en anti a Red Cross flag to mark their })lace. The chantring fashions of warfare had placed the defeiices of Ihe city five mi*es away from its civic center. If reports are true, Prussian militarism has surpassed in vandalism the record of centuries. Since the ruin of the Parthenon no like deed has all'ronted the world as does this; and of the Par thenon the grandeur remains. It is said in Berlin that the bombaril- ment of Rheims was unavoidable, but that orders were given to sj>are the cathedral. It will be well fu* the Ger man reputation if tnis can be shown to have been the case. If such orders v/ere \ given, there should be a court martial for the commander who disobeyed; and the widest publicity for its testimony, its findings and its sente’ice. But that 1TOIHE BELGIAN; Will Never Sheathe The Sword Until Belgium Has Got Back Her Freedom. Irish nationalists who crowded Central HaJl London adopted, the following pledge administered by T. P. O’Connor: “We will never sheathe the sword un til Belgium has got back her freedom; until every inch of her soil is clear; until a treaty is made, not on a scrap of paper but on a foundation behind which stand the millions of the Britisli race.” The meeting was called to express confidence in the leadership of John Rec'- mond and to indorse action of the Irish party in supporting “the war of the allies against Prussian militarism.” Mr. O’Connor said that for this funda mental and supreme pnnciple the Brit ish had fought on hundreds of battle- fiekls. A member of the British relief com mittee, speaking of the situation sai J: “This business tilone v^ould be suffi cient to tax the energies of the gov ernment and the eouutry even if did not have a war on our hands,” . Eight hundred Belgians slept on the floors of public buildings in London one night last week, m»\ny w'ere people of refinement. The hospitality of Folkestone and Doyer is being taxed to the limit, while the sea coast town of Daal is swamped under the wave of refuges coming in schooners trawles and sailing vessels, half starved. London’s streets and parks are filled with Belgians oflicers and soldiers. Some arc wounded and others became lost from their commands and joined the refugees. rhe Belgian legation hjis issued instructions to all the able bodied men to I’ojoin the army.

England s broad Arrow, The property of the English crown has been marked with the broad arrow from times so early that no one can now tell when it Was first used for this purpose or what was its meaning. 'rhe queer mark is stamped upon the king’s poperty of every description, from castles, ships and big guns, down to bagging and conviots’ uniforms, and there is a penalty of 200 for re moving it. The latter usage reminds one of the practice in Athens more ^ than 2,000 years ago wliereby captives i busy, taken in wars were branded with the 1 figure of an owl as a mark of Athen j ian ownership. In the same manner Samoa branded her captives with the figure of an owl as a mark ot Athen ian ownership, In the same manner Samoa branded her captives with the figure of a ship. Busy at Mebane Tuesday looked like a revival of business in the sawrmiil and traction engine line in Mebane. Messrs, Ben and Marvin Atwater unloaded a new Emerson and Brantington steam engine and sawmill outfit for Meacham Bros., who live in the Lambsville section 20 miles South of town. Mr. Lewis warren of Hightower, unloaded a beautiful cas3 gasoline tractor and section disc plo v, and Mr. Jesse Brookr, of North of town, loarded an old steam tractor and unloaded a* fine new Emmerson and Brantington steam outfit for sawmill use.

The constitution of North Carolina must be amended in respect to its pro visions as to taxation. The imperative necessity of this is shown by the fact that about 99 of 100 thinking men of the state, who have studied the matter, are urging the adoption of the amend ment now pending. In the event there fore, that the amendment should fail at the coming election—an improbable one, but a possibility nevertheless, I which must be borne in mind-the i necessity for amendment would be just j as imperative as it is now, or as it was when the amendments were proposed. Therefore, with a light vote, it would be clearly the duty of the le|islature immediately to resubmit the tax amend ment regardless of the fact that it would be at a cost of much time and money. Every advocate of the amendments, then, sliould do all that hes within h\% power to forestall all this by insuring theadoption of this amendment now. It is not enough to vote for it. Maks it a point to try and deliver some votes beside your own.—Greensboro News,
