CORRESPON J ENCii We wish correspondents in ail the nearby post offices. Write at oru*#» The General Assembly of | North Carolina made a mistake | two years ago when it passed j that compulsory attendance | school law, requiring all children i to attend school between the | ages of eight and twelve. The j law should have been made so drastic that it would have re quired every boy or girl, we mean under normal circumstances, to complete a prescribed amount of work; for instance say seven grades, if it takes them until they are twenty-one years old to do it. The law really ought to require the completion of a good hierh school; but this might be a little too strenuous, especially until the masses were educated up to the necessity. FOY RETIRES Mr J. O. Fov, who started the Meb ane Leader some six years ag'o, has sold the paper to Mr. L. S. Straughan and Mrs. Strunghan becomes the editor Mr. Foy does not tell the people where tie is going or whether he is to again enter the newspaper field. Here is wishing the incoming and outgoing publishers well.—Fairbrothera Every thing. The Leader was sold to Mrs. L, S. Straughan, her husband Mr, L. S. ritraughan assuming the management of it. The rea son Mr. Foy did not tell of re entering the Journalistic field was that he retired on account of ill health, a fact stated in the item that gave the information of his retirement Thursday. November 12 1914 THE ET.ECTION IS NOW OVER. The election is now over and we presume that both the defeated and the ones who have won the goal are glad. We have never had any experience in politics and campaigning, but we should think that such a life must be a very exciting one. We stated in the first edition of the Leader, after we had taken it over, that we intended to be neutral and take absolutely no part in any man’s election, neither to his good or to his detriment, and that pledge we expect to ever carry out. This paper will always be Independent and the people can depend upon us. We are net seeking any pie, hence we are willing for the three great parties to fight out their own game. This paper, as we have previously said will stand for education, morality, sobriety, and eveiTthing that tends for the betterment of Meb ane and Alamance county. We are going, in our feeble way, to make a fight for progress and enlightment and the other man can look after the politics. DR. POE FAILS TO RALLY. The readers of the Leader will recall that last week we said something of race segregation, | We do not know whether Mr. Poe, the editor of the Progressive Farmer, saw it or not. However, we are sending him a marked copy of the paper, notwithstand ing the fact that Mr. Poe’s paper is on the exchange. Mr. Poe is the man who has been agitating this thing and the presumption is that he knows all about it, so now we want to hear from him further. Tell us about it, Clarence and we will publish your article ! in the Leader. At the Churches. Preaching at the Baptist church at 11 a. .m and 8 p. m. the Fourth Sunday and 8 p. m. the first and third Sunday nights. Sunday School at 10 o’clock every Sunday morning. Prayer meeting every Wednesday night 8 o’clock. H. G. Dorsett, Pastor W. S. Crawford, Supt, S. S. MR. BUSINESS MAN! MR. MERCHANT! We beseech you to let the people know of your bar gains. We invite you to advertise in The Leader. We guarantee results. We are going to send a man to talk the proposition over with you. 'Mit I We find the following advertisement j in a North Carolina paper. The policy j outlined should go far toward giving j larger contidence in the lasting value of real estate and stimulating the use of the Torrens system for ihe registe ring of land titles: “If we can agree cn price of land, supposing that twenty years is not long enough to pay for balance, I will just make it tv enty five years. How will that suit you? Land will be sold free from mortgages. Title will be regis tered by the Tonens system.‘Pro gressive Farmer. We most heartily endorse the above article and commend it to the people for their earnest con sideration. We find, by examining reports that the Americans are the greatest spenders of any other class of people. Just why this is true we are not able to say, but nevertheless it is true, we have noticed that the foreigners w’ho come over here to engage in business are a saving clas3 of people, you may take a Jew, give him a 1-lfi of an ounce of butter and a little slice of lightbread, and he will go all day, and carry a bag that will weigh almost two hundred pounds. We are not advocating American people trying to perish themselves to death, but they ought to learn to be more economical. While we are speaking of economy now it is certainly an opportune time for the American people to begin to practice this great lesson. We cannot tell what this European war is going to terminate in. If the people have a little pocket change they had better be careful how they spend it. The farmer should raise ;vhat he consumes at home. If he were living, we wonder what old Joe Caldwell’s opinion would be of the war. The la mented McKinley and the la mented Cleveland have been quoted as saying that thev con-1 sidered him the most able man i in the South. What a pity that j we haven’t a Joe Caldwell ini I North Carolina now. 0, how the | people loved him* North Carolina should have a Board of Pardons. Many other j States in the Union have adopted j this method and it has proven | valuable. Gov. Kitchin recom-j mended it when he went out of i office. W’e have always believed | it was a good thing, and it is j time that North Carolina should i initiate it.

It Really Does Relieve Rheumatism Everybody who is afflicted with Rheu matism in any form should by all means keep a bottle of Sloan’s Liniment on hand. The minute you feel pain or sore ness in a joint or muscle, bathe it with Sloan’s Liniment. Do not rub it. Sloan’s penetrates almost immediately right to the seat of pain, relieving the hot, tender, swoolen feeling and making the part easy and comfortabh. Get a bottle of Sloan’s Linime:;t for 25 cents of any druggist and have it in the house—against colds, sore and swollen joints, rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica and like ailments. Your money back if not satisfied, but it does give almost instant relief. NORFOLK SOUTHERN COIMPANY TRAFFIC OEPART- !MENT. A man who is prejudice cannut be expected to be fairmindcd. Honest men who are ignorant of the facts unfortunately are not in a position to be fairminded. A jury would not dare to render a verdict befor hearing all the tacts and sifting them out of the evidence, yet the average man on a street corner will express an opmion without knowing the facts. Many won't even change their opinion after learning tbc facts, because they are controlled by prejudice. A man con vinced against his will chngs to his opinion still.—Pender Chronicle. Every word of the foregoing editorial taken from the Pender Chronicle is true. The majority of people are too quick to jump at conclusions, we ought to know what we are talking about when we talk. Investigate before you cuss a maa. Don^t be too quick to condemn a man on heresay I evidence. Always give him a chance to establish his innon- cency. No man can predict when this {war will come to an end, or at least he cannot make a plausible [prediction, but we do believe I that prospects are now brighter than they have ever been. Let us all be optimistic, at least. When the next General As sembly convens in Kaleigh, it should see that the State provides i enough money to run the public' schools for six months as the law is supposed to be.

The people may be on the look out for book agents, for all the embryonic authors will soon be ready to give us some information on the war. Despondency Due to In digestion. It i3 not at all surprising that per sons who have indigestion become dis couraged and despondent. Here are a few wcrds of hope and cheer for them by Mrs Blanche Bowers, Indiana, Pa. “For years my digestion was so poor that I could only eat the lightest foods. I tried every thing that I heard of to relief, but not until about a year ago when I saw Chamberlain’s Tablets ad vertised and got a bottle of them, did I find the right treatment. I soon be gan to improve, and since taking a few bottles of them my digestion is. fine,” For sale by Mebane Drug Co. bran new AND MADE FOR Y0U.”f | THE McADOC HOTEK TjREENSBORO, m. c.
