The attention of Tne Leader readers
is directed to the advertisment of H.
E. Wilkinson and Co. They express
kind wishes for their patrons and so
licit your visits to their store and in
spection of stock.
The 25 per cent reduction made on all
clothing at the Mebane Store Company
is a tempting proposition. If you need
anything in clothing now, or think you
will in the near future, it will be well
for you to see this firm.
There is plenty of work for the
young mens Business Association for
the new year, and a meeting called
at an early date, and a plan for pushing
things to the limit inaugerated. There
is a plenty for the association to do,
will it do it?

The Citizens of Los-Angeles Col.
propose meeting violence with, vigrilence
They will organize a vigilent committee
who will take it upon themselves to
get rid of the undersirable citizen. The
labor agitator, and anarchist fiend
will be requested to leave, and if he
fails to heed the warning, there will
be found a way to accelerate his move
ment. It seems the only way to meet
these devils.

of this district will be in Mebane and

Turner^ to Miss Bertie Brown,
Our friend Murry Ferguson, had a
jolly time over in Caswell during the
holidays," Among other delights, he
was at a country dance, and swung
owners and went right and left through
with the boys and g^irls all right,
Muyry is a good one.
The Proprietors of the Piedmont
Warehouse publish a card of thanks
to their patrons in this weeks issue.
The Piedmont Warehouse has done
splendid business so far. They are a
nice clever set of people who will treat
you alright, all the time.
The estimated wealth of this country
to day is one hundred and twenty five
billion dollars. We have several bil-
lionairs. Think for a moment if you
can, what this stu^endeous sum means
How on earth could a man acquire a
billion unless he had a government in
collusion with him robbing the people?
Holmes Warren & Co change their
advertisment in this weeks Leader,
This popular firm have enjoyed an
unsual successfull trade the past year
they have done well and the Leader
congratulates them, on their good
fortune. The entire management of the
firm is in the hands of two poular young
men.
Tne Standard Oil Company through
its attorney tells the court at Raleigh
it will never pay one cent of a fine,
let it impose as much as it sees fit.
The Standard would not talk that way
to the people of Texas, nor would it to
the people of North Carolina if it did
not belive it could buy up the whole
outfit.
Attention of our readers is directed
to the change of advertisment of the
Commercial Bank. This financial in
stitution is growing in strength and
popularity all the time. It is in the
hands of a safe and conservative board
of directors. That clever, and com
petent gentleman Mr. Sam Morgan is
its cashier.
The PresbyterianSunday school gave

The lives of John Br Moisant and
Arch Hoxsey sacrificed on last Satur
day, one at New Orleans and the other
atLos-Angles in their daring flights
above the clouds, Hoxsey was straining
to reach an attitude of 12000 feet, the
highest point reached by any human,
he failed and fell to his death.
We would be glad to have some one
andespecialy the Charlotte Observer
explain to us why numbers of leading
newspapers so often make it a point
to redicule Charleston. These News
papers may think it very funny, be
cause it has got to be popular, but it
impresses us as being in poor tast.
These disparaging remarks about an
old Southern, city not only exhibit poor
taste and bad spirit, but they will tend
to do that old Southern city unmerited
harm.
It seems to have been a surprise to
some that the Republicans did not dis
cover prior to the election that Butler
would cost the party ten thousand votes
Well they did discover it, just the
same. The Editor of the Leader heard
a prominent Republican remark two
months before the election that the
burden of carrying Butler wuuld cost
the Republican party ten thousand
votes, and the Leader so stated it at
that time. There are some people
who never hear any noise until they
have busted a rubber baloon that they
had blown up.
Annual Meeting.
The Annual Meeting of the Farmers

lows:
Dear Sir-
Find one dollar enclosed to renew
roy subscription for the Leader. I can
not well do without it, as it brings me
news every week from my old friends.
May the year 1911 be one of the hap-
pest and most brosperous, is the wish
of an old friend.
T. H. Cheek,
The writer had the misfortune to get
his right hand badly powder burned by
the explosion of a sky rocket thac he
was trying to fire off Christmas eve-
night.

Attempt Suicide.
Ex Judge Spencer B, Adams of
Greensboro attempted suicide Sunday
night at the Keely Institute by in
flicting a dangerous wound upon his
throat, various reasuns are assigned
for the act, politics, finances and
whiskey, perhaps a combination. The
wound is not necessarily dangerous un
less complication set in.
And if the Standard Oil company is
adjudged guilty and forced to restore
the former prices we fail to see where
the people of Raleigh are to be bene
fited.—Durham Herald.
And if the Standard Oil Company
wins out, and succeeds in driving the
Indian Oil Companjr out of business
and restores oil to its old original price,
which they are sure to do we again
fail to see where Raleigb will be beni-
fited, in fact we did not understand
in the start that attorney Bicket was
making a lesral fight in the interest of
Raleigh alone.
Death of an Old Citizen
of Cross Roads.
The death angle came to our neigh
borhood on Dec. 31 and claimed for its
victim our beloved brother Sydney Y.
Baynes. Mr. Baynes was in his nine-
tyeth year. Mr. Baynes was a noble

friends who will morn their 1 >ss. May
God bless the berived ones.

Fire In Greensboro.
A stubborn fire on south Elm St.
Greensboro, did between sevenfy-five
and one hundred thousand dollars dam
age Monday evening. Isaacson, H.
M Bable, J. H- West, and J. Opple-
mm were either burned out or had
their stocks badly damaged by water
Splencid work of the fire company and
favorable atmospheric conditions con
tributed to restricting the fire to cer
tain limits, otherwise on of the best
blocks in Greensboro might have went
down in ashes.
Eight Car Loads of Whis
key.
There was 3 car loads of packages
of whiskey taken to Winston from
Greensboro on Monday December 19.
Tuesday there was two car loads taken
up. Wendesday there was three car
loads, making a total of eight car
load* of whiskey to Winston in the

so much whiskey handled on the roads
in the time abpat Christmas for a like
period in their life time.

The Way It Is Done.
On the 8th of December we issued
from this office our regular edition of
Leader. In that regular addition was
an advertisment upon a seperate sheet
printed upon it, because we could not
make room in the regular adition for
this advertisment, Upon this seperate
sheet was printed at its head Supple
ment to the Mebane Leader Dec. 8th.
In the body of the paper a reference
was made to this special advertisment.
After the papers were mailed our
po3t master Mr. Arthur White wrote
to the third assistant P. M. General
and asked his ruling upon it, he an-
Wered that it was not a legal supple
ment and would be subject to pos
tage at the rate of 1 cent for every
two ounces or fraction thereof, upon
each individualy addressed wrapper.
Now this is business with a hurrah.
After an EJditor had done that he had
been informed, to comply with the law,
he is told that this is not a supplement
because it does not contain a little ten
line piece of reading matter. These
wise owls at Washington have technical
requirements to catch a little weekly,
when it is a known fact that the gov
ernment has been hauling mail over
this country from purely advertising
sheets in car load lots. This is sent
at one cent a pound, for instant
“Comfort” at Augusta Main, and Hap
py Home, each with a maihng list of
a million and half. The Red Book
Magazine of Chicago and McClure,
Cosmopalitan and a number of other
Magazins, that are making money by
the millions by 33 per cent of advertis
ment, by burdenihg the mails, and it is
alright at the Department, but this is
in perfect keeping with the way in
which this great government is oper
ated.
The Girl From Rectors.
“The Girl from Rectors” is making
an anual Southern tour. She showed
up in Danville Va. and Greensboro, last
week with a few of the most objection
able features eliminted, just enough to
slightly modify its gidy, dare devil
impulsive pruriency, but there is still
left a strong and repulsife odour of the
smutty, fulsome and obsene.
To make the “girl from Rectors” a
fit play for the stage everything would
have to be cut out except the name
The only way to make the girl from
Rectors decent is to kill it. It has
not a single suggestion of decency
about it. It is curiosity that may
lead people to the exhibition of the
•‘Girl from Rectors” the first time it
would be self respect that, would pre
vent them from wanting to see it the
second time.
But what is the use, the Girl from
Rectors IS a mirrowed reflection of the
roten end of our assumed select society
It is an exhibition of base obscenity,
and lust hid beneath the flimsy gauze
of lace, silks and satins of the vulgar
rich# Nor need we stare with open
mouthed wonder, at the “Girl from
Rectors” as seen on the stage in the
glare of the foot lights. We believe
there are a plenty of Girls from Rec
tors in the larger cities of this, and
other states. They are sometimes
leaders in your so called best society.
You will some time find them
meek eyed, sad faced, with an
expression of extreme piety, sitting in
your church pews, sometimes pressing
for room at the alter where the holy
sacremen# is administered, always
with the preachers salery promply
paid, which they have worked for with
their little pink fingers? Popular with
the preacher, and popular with the
male portion of the congregation, be
cause they are so very pius? Then the
scenc shifts and some dark night you
will see this same little bundle of
goodness neatly disguised in thick
wraps slipping along some dark alley,
until she reaches a waiting automobile,
and her rich affinity, she is whisked
away to some quiet trysting place
where the modem city “Girl from Rec
tors” exhibits her real self. The dif
ference being that she and her affinity
are usualy sharp enough to escape
detection, and as long as she does, a
gullable public swallows the salacious
stuff with a smack of relish. The girl
on the stage from Rectors gets caught
(Up with every night she appears.

For Stealing Two Cents,
A Boston man has been sentenced to
two years in prison for stealing two
cents.
It was a saying of Solon, the ancient
Athenian lawgiver, that laws are like
cobwebs—for, if any trifling or power
less thing falls into them, they hold
it fast; while, if it is is something
heavier, it breaks through and is off.
We have known a poor old colored
man who had a fondness for fowls to
be sentenced 3 yeirs to the peniten
tiary for stealing a couple of hens and
a number sent up for equaly as trivial
offer.ces, and then we have known a
Guggen heimer to be isent to congress
for stealing five million dollars. It is
the poor, and powerless offender that
the law seeks to hold as examples of
punishment.
Mebane, N. C. December 29—10

The popularity of the couple was
evedenced by the large number of
costly and attractive presents.

A special over leased wire says a
crushing blow was struck at “black-
hand” kidnaping gangs when Maria
Rappa and Stanislao Pattenza, heads
of the abduction gang which stole
Giuseppe Longo and Michael Rizzo,
two Brooklyn children, were sentenced
to not less than 25 years and not more
than 49 years and ten months, the
woman in Auburn and the man in Sing
Sing prison.
This is a crushing blow alright. After
forty years of stealing children, a
woman and a man get a sentence to
the penetintory, and to the “black
hand is struck a crushing blow.” If
the i>air had of been bound ticcht with
ban^ of steel wire and thrown into a
steaming lime vat face downward, you
might have talked of a crushing blow,
but less than this would not begin to
measure up with the offence.
The automobile industry of the

ANNUAL BANQUET
Of the Young Men's Bus
iness Association.
The annual banquet of the Young
men’s business association was given
in there hall Christmas eve~night. It
was well attended, infact we believe
with slight exceptions the entire mem
bership was present.
The Menu, embraced Cream of
oysters, Queen Olives, Pickles, and
Celery, Sandwiches, French Sardines,
Salted wafers, Quail on toast, Sarato
ga Chips, Port wine, 1742 vintage—
Salted peanuts. Cigars. Budweiser
and Filsener.
To say there was a delightful time
would be putting it extremely mild.
It was Christmas time, and a generous
flow of good fellowship. As the crowd
of prominent business men were to
gether it was thought by some to be
opportune to bring to the attention of
the association some practical matters
but on motion of Mr. W. E. White
this wap defered to some preeeding
m»eting. Mr. David Katz agreed with
this view of the matter, in fact urged
it in a brief talk. There was brief
speeches by Mr. Puryear, Mr, Arthur
White, Prof. Crawford, Mr. Sam White
Mr. Will Corbett, Mr. W. E. White,
Mr. David Katz, Mr. Ed White, Mr.
Felix Graves, Mr. Will Murry, and Mr.
J. O. Foy, Mr. David Katz was called
on for a Solo, and responded with his
deep mellow voice.
Mr. Felix Graves had been requested
to preside as toast master, but begged
that he be excused, he had been suf
fering from dumb chills, Mr. George
Johnson presided in his stead. The
banquetters adjomed at 12 o’clock to
go home and hang up their stockings,
Mr. Will White was expecting Santa
Claus to put an order for a train load
of furniture in his. Mr. Arthur White
was expecting an order for several car
loads of iron Beds, and Mr. Will Cor
bett was looking for an order for a
dozen car loads of Mattress and Wire
springs. Mr. L. S. Straughn was
looki'^g for customers for a half a doz
en fine Alamance County farms. Mr.
Lewis Puryear was expecting an order
for a dozen car loads of his chairs,
while all the merchants present would
go home and dream of stores full of
customers for 1911. And some how or
other we believe that Santa S^ius is
going to come near granting their
wishes for the 'coming year. It was
an unusual pleasant occasion.
On motion there was a standing vote
of thanks tendered Mr. Johnie Holmes
and others for supervising
and having prepared so excelent a
banquet. The Editor of the Leader
was present and very much enjoyed
the occasion.

Beautiful Church Wed
ding of Miss Minnie Ross
and Miss W. R, Kimball
At the First Presbyterian church in
Concord on Wednesday December 21st
at 7 o’clock Miss Minnie Ross, only
daughter of Mrs. P, B. [Means, and Mr
W. R. Kimball, a well known business
man of Tar River, were united in mar
riage. The event was of unusual in
terest to the people of Concord and
throughout that section on account of
the popularity and prominence of the
contracting parties and a large and
representative aucience witnessed the
ceremony.
The handsome church was beautifully
decorated for the occasion. The pulpit
was covered in snowy white banked
with beautiful ferns and cut flowers
and the large arch over the alter was
festooned with smilax, out of which
flashed the glow of countless electric
bulbs, making a scene of unusual beau
ty and loveliness.
A few minutes before the time for
the wedding party to enter Miss Laura
Noell sweetly sang “Because.”
At the first soft touch of Lohengrin’s
wedding march, rendered by Miss Lucy
Lore, the ushers entered from the two
main vestibules, Mr. * Victor Means
from the right and Mr. C. B. Wagoner
from the* left, closely followed by Mr.
Fred Ross and Mr. Galloway Ross, from
left and right, respectively. The Maid
of Honor, Miss Gertrude Lafferty be
comingly gowned in blue crepe de chine
over taffeta and carried a beautiful bo
quet of pink roses. She was closely
followed by the bride, gowned in white
silk lace over measaline, carrying a
huge boquet of bride roses with a
shower of lilies of the valey, leaning
on the arm of her brother, Mr. J.
Lindsay Ross, who gave her away.
They were joined at the alter by the
groom and his best man, Mr. F. D.
Brummett, of Oxford, who had entered
from the right vestibule, where the
ceremony was performed by Rev. Dr.
J. M. Grier, the beautiful and impres
sive Episcopal ceremony being used.
During the ceremoney Shubert’s Ser
enade was softly rendered by Miss
Lora.
After the marriage vows had been
spoken Mendelessohn’s march was
played as a recessional and the audi
ence dispersed. Mr. and Mrs. Kim
ball left on No. 35 for Florida, where
they will spend several weeks.
Mrs. Kimball is the only daughter of
Mrs. P. B. Means, and is exceedingly
popular where she has lived most
of her life and is a young lady of
highest culture, possessing many no
