Mebane Leader Eii’.tor and Owiwr J. 0. FOY, Entered as second class matter Feb- raary 8. 1909, at ihe Post Office at Mebane, N.C,, andorthe act of March 1897. Issued Every Thursday Morning. SUBSCRiTTlOiN: One Year,:;- - * $1.00 Months, • - • .50 Three Months, - - .25 ^ payable in advance ^ Se:\d Currency, Postal Money Order or Stamps, CORRESPONDENCE We wish correspondents in all the nearby post>ffices. W rite^at ot\pp Thursday. April 1st 1915 The decrease in the revenues of the Southern Railway com pany this past year over the previous year is oyer five and three quarter million dollars. It looks a little funny don’t it for clerks who argue to their bosses that there is no use of advertising? are usually of that class that are found of swinging their legs from the counters, and would touch the till if they could safety do so. The indications now point to one of the finest fiuit years known. Weather condition has kept the buds back so that when it does warm up enough for the blossoms to come they will re main and make good fruit. A good fruit year is a great thing for the South, thare is much money in it. The impression seems to be growing stronger all the time that the European war will end by July. Of course Germany will have to be stricten beyond repair before she will give up in this fight, but it has got to come England has determined to set tle her many scores with Ger many. We have been told that there are >rood reasons to believe that more than ten thousand dollars could be easily made up in Ashe ville to down Carter, and no doubt there are men in Wilming ton who would chip in freely to swell this su*n. Judge Carter did best as a judge to clear these places of the stench and odium, of the elicit whiskey trafic, of the shame and wrong done to innocent people in the violation of the prohiUtioii law, and in a very large measuse he accomp lished his purpose. Judge Car ter is entitled to the friendly interest and support of every temperance man in North Caro lina. He did more at two sittings of court to drive out elicit whis key than, that fellow R, L. Davis would do in ten years. Carter’s trouble in our esti mation came from his offending the whiskey element. He did more to make elicit whiskey sel ling unpleasant and unprofitable as business than any other Judge in North Carolina has ever done. Thug his sining. Give us more judges like Judge Carter and there will be less excuse for the working of the jackass jaws of certain Solicitors. The sinking, or rather the re maining under water of ihe F '4 submarine boat v.. th her crew of 21 men in the v.^aters of Hon olulu last Fridp:*, was a horri ble affair. Ertorts to raise the submarine was a failure up to Saturday night, in fact it seems now improba’ile that the boat will be gotten up at all. There is hardly a possibility that any of her crew has survived. It is said that President Wil son will rake the adjustment of the Mexican matter in his own hands. Should he have done so at the beginning of the Mexican trouble there is every reason to believe that the matter would haye been managed more dis creetly and far better, than blun dering Bryan has been able to do with it. Bryan is good for something, for mstanee bull dosing the Democratic party, but as a diplomat he is a signal fail ure. It is said that a newspaper should be a reflex of the com munity in which it is published a kind of mirror so-to-speak of the progress, and progressive- net" of the people, what they are coing and what they have done. Its ad>rertising columns should indicate how wide awake are its merchants, and those who are interested in exploiting their goods and wares. What percen tage is it that advertise, and how mnch interest do they take in supporting their home paper. There are 17 stores in Mebane not including the cafes’ and banks. There are seven of this seventeen stores that are carry ing advertisement in the Leader. Seven that are interested in their business, and supporting their home paper. These seven stores are not sufficient to enable a paper to live in Mebane. The Leaders labors has esrned more of this town, and is entitled to abetter support. The present Editor is feeble and broken in health and should not be driven to other distant cities to beg for an existance for a Mebane paper Mebane claims to be the biggest little town in the country, it should not permit its home paper to come as near suspension as it did a .«hort while past, Civic pride should prevent it. The man who is editing and mana ging it, is making the best of his opportunities he can, every one who knows him will conceed that. Look its columns over and see who it is that is doing busi ness with the Leader. Germany is hinting ia an un dertone that she may be induc ed to make peace, but she says she wants her price. What Ger many wants in a final settlement of this European war question will hardly be seriously consid ered. Germany has had her day of sinning, she must soon have her day of settling the cost and when she does there will be but a small portion of the Ger man Empire to fret about. The Emporer will have blown his worthless brains out, or sought safety in some portion ^if the world well away from Germany. God Save The People “When wilt Thou save the people? O God of mercy, wlien Not kings and lords, but nations! Nor thrones and crowns, but men! Flow’rs of Thy heart, 0 God, are they; Let them not pass like weeds, away. Their heritage a sunless day, God save the people! “Shall crime bring crime forever. Strength aidu)g still the strong? Is it Thv will, O Father, That man shnll toil for wrong? No! Say Thy mountains; No! Thy skies; Man’s clouded sun shall brightly rise And songs ascend instead Jot sighs God save the people! “When wilt Thou save the people? O God of mercy, when? The people. Lord, the peoqle; Not thrones and crowns, but men! God save the people; Thine they are. Thy children, as Thine angels fair. From vice, oppression and despair God save the people.” He that easily believes rumors has th»^ principle wiihin him to augment rumors. It is strange to see the rave nous appetite with v/hich some devour- ers of character and happiness fix upon the sides of innocent and unfortunate, Jane Porter. The prosecution in the Carter- Abernethy case has just petered out in its efforts to besmircli Judge Carter’s character on a charge of immorality. The way this portion of the charges was treated indicated if it did any thing the apparent desperation of the whiskey element to down and damn Carter if there was any possible way to do so. See now his track was trailed by a ot of human sleuth hounds, with prying eyes desperately trying to fasten upon him some sus picion of shame.

The most simple, most frivolous and thoughtless- woman hides at the bot tom of her soul a spark of iierpifuiii which neither she herself nor anybody else suspects, which she nevei shows if her life runs its normal course, but which springs into evidence and mani fests itself by actions of devotion and self-sacrifice if fate strikes her or those w^hom she loves. Then she does not wince, she does not complain nor give way to useless despair, but rushes into the breach.

Using an electric heater to increase the flow in oil wells is a method that Is being tried with considerable promise of success in the oil fields of California. The heater used ia a long brass cylinder containing a large number' of coils. This cylinder, with wires of the right length at tached, is lowered to the bottom of the well and the wires are connected with a generator. The incrersed flow that has taken place in the experi ments already made is explained on the theory that the heat expands the gas in the oil-bearing stratum and causes a greater upward pressure in the well. The heater consumes about nine kw. of cuirent an hour.
