Coble, i Com. John R. Stuart, ! Thanksgiving Servicers. 1 am authorized to state that Thanksgiving services v/ill be held‘at 11 o’clock in the Baptist, Presbyterian, Christian, Metho dist Episcopal, and the Metho dist Protestant churches. To a large percent of our peo ple it will doubtless appear a fit ting thing to close all places of business for the entire day; but it is confidently believed that all our business men will act hearti ly and gladly on the suggestion to close from 10 to 1 o^clock. It is a legal holiday. The President, and the Governor of our State, have issued proclamations calling upon the people to assemble in their ])laces of worship to thank Cod for his blessings. The pas tors confidently expeci; a general and hearty response from the people of Burlington. S. L. Morgan, Sec’y. What One Lynching May Do. New York World. For a murder so brutal that le gal punishment was certain, Ant onio Rodriguez, a Mexican whO' was burned at the stake in Rock Springs, Tex. There have result ed anti-American riots in Mexico the stoning of the house of our consuls and other citizses and in sults our flag. Because of possible disorders the Sunday bullfight in lilexico City has been prohibited and thei'e is talk of a trade boy cott of American goods. _ President Diaz will not permit either rioting or the open organiz ing of trade boycotts. But with out organization or govermeiit complicity, such a boycott in China, in retaliation for abusive treatment of Chinese travelers at San Francisco, not long ago cost American merchants millions of dollars. Our trade with Mexico is doudie that with China. The most rapid growing Mexican towns have risen where the raih’oads cross the boundary, so that Texas more than any other state would suffer by a break in friendly re lations. Such material conditions, might be ignored by a rich and proud nation conscious of being in the right. But the Texan unwilling ness to punish the murderers of Rodrigtez puts us in the v/rong; it will comfort to have to explain with profuse apologies and money idemnity, as we did in the case of the Itahans lynched in Nev/ Orleans, that the nation is power Ieb,i to enforce justice in a refac tory stp te. So many, so widespread in their effect and so grave are the con sequences which may follow one act of cruel mob lawlessn ess. mi KITCHEN’S THANKS GIVING PROCLAMATION During the past year peace and order have prevailed in our state and we have had bountiful har vests and material progress, for all oc which we should be 4uly thankful. A state, nomore^han an individual, should live by bread alon^5, and we should likewise be thankful for the spread of know ledge and the quickening of the public conscience which has been vouchsafed to us. Therefore, L William W. Kit- chin, governor of North Carolina, in pursuance of custom and in accordance with law, do hereby proclaim Thursday, November 24th, a day of Thanksgiving, to provide special opportunity for the people to lay aside their ac customed work and render thanks to Almighty God for His mani fold blessings. Charity to the needy and kindness to all, better even than prayer and songs of praise, will exemplify our appre ciation of the blessings which have come to us. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the great seal of the state to be affixed, this the 19thday of Nov ember, 1910, and in the one hun dred and thirty-fifth year of the American Independence. W. W. KITCHIN, (Great Seal) Governor, By the Governor, ALEX J. FIELD, Private Secretary. oti NO. 28 HoU4ay Notice. Thursday.

Mr. Editor:-- Just preceding the late election^ Jn a published in the Dispatch, I stated in advo cating Salaries, instead of Fee’s, for our County officers, th.at who ever was elected^ that I proposed to ask the pep|)le of Alamance County t6 sentative in the Legislature, urg ing him to introduce and have passed a bill putting* our County officers on salaries instead of fees as at present. This bill, if pass ed, cannot affect the ternis of the officers elected at the last elec tion, so there jshould be no seri ous opposition to this bill. I know what your representative, the Hon..

I note that Durham County puts their County office?^ on Sal aries, —beginning December the 1st, through a bill passed by the Legislature in 1909, and no doubt a good many 6ther Cbunties in North Carolina will take steps in thib direction. The Counties that have adopted the Salary basis in stead of Fees are all pleased, and would not think of going back to the old system. The official statement of; Guil ford County for last year shows a saving to the Tax-payers of $10.800,00 Forsythe and Bun combe alhiost as much, I think that our County officers should be paid fair and liberal sgtlaries and I suggest the following salrries: Sheriff $1800.00 Deputy Sheriff $900.00, Register of Deed$1200> Clerk of Registering Deeds $600. 00, Clerk of Coilrt $1200.00 Treasurer $800;00, and L want to 'say that if our County officers ^e put bn salaries as above and fees and costs that now go to these, officers are turhed into the County funds, , that I will guarn- tee a saving to the Tax payers of Alamance Coupt:y of .$3000,00 per year. ' . Really I believe that this meas ure will save to ouif County $5000. 00 annually, and I ask, in ail ser iousness, is there a tax payer in Alamance County, except a pros pective office-holder who opposes this measure? We may rest as sured that we. mu^ do one of two things, either increase our taxes or to reduce expenses. I prefer the latter and I believe itha the great majority of our ~itizens and tax payers will agree ithmein this .propbsition. W. E. WHITE. Statesville, Nov. 21.—In a strong sermon delivered before his congregation at the First Bap tist church yesterday morning, speaking on the ways by which men attempt to cover their si as, / Rev. Chas.
