Dont send anything to a Newspaper
expecting it published without giving

and it must be kept.
It begins to look as if there is no way
of solving the problem of punishing
the Adams county, Ohio, vote-buyers
except that of declaring the whole
county a jail.

It is reported that our popular young
friend Benjaman Warren was over about
Orange Grove, the latter part of the

Ah, Ben. old boy you will hardly find

There is a bill pending before congress
a bill to prevent the government from
printing on stamped envelcpes. The
big concern in Dayton, Ohio is opposed
to a repeal of the law, you should
write to your momber of congress and
ask that he do what he can to see that
the law is repealed.
The finest flying machine yet known
is the North Carolina buzzard, you can
see a sight of interest any clear day,
by watching him dip, and dive and
shave the blue empyrean without a
quiver of his wings. He is a great flyer,
and can go as high as he pleases.
Mr. West Warren, went out bird
hunting Monday evening, he reported
birds as rather scarce. He shot at two
gazooks, but he said they were so far
off he doubted as to whether he hit
them or not. He says gazooks are
getting scarcer all the time, he seems
to think it due to the cultivation of
the fennel range, gazooks like to feed
on the tall fennel.
It is a current rumor that the in
surance company insuring Mr. David
Katz stock had offered him fifty cts on
the dollar on his policy for his stock
of goods burned just before Christmas
Why not make it twenty five, ten, or
five cts, infact what is the use of giv
ing him anything? If the insurance
company can say what they will pay
on a policy,then leave the whole matter
in their hands. The man who takes out
the policy has the honor of pay ing the
premium. That is* all.
It is funny, how some cheap John
chap can rare up, and kick at the
moon, and bray like a donkey when he
discovers that some one has opinions,
they do not have to borrow from him.
Opinions uttured in the interest of a
common people, and yet this frothy
mouth dunkey goes around giving his
opinion of the Editor, It is then that
the Editor regrets that he was so badly
mistaken, when he said kind and
unmerited things of this aforesid
donkey.

Drastic Liquor Law.
A more strenuous prohibition law
than any yet proposed was adopted in
the house of the Oklahoma leglilature.
It provides as the only punishin^!it tor
violation of the law a term of not less
than two and not more than five years
in the penitetiary.
Rainey Offers His Roose
velt Railroad Expenses
Resolution.
Representative Rainey of Illinois
offered a resolution in the House asking
for the appointment of a committee of
five to investigate the railroad ex
benses of Theodore -Roosevelt, for
travel while he was President.
The resolution proposes to give the
committee authority to examine the
breaks of the Pennsylvania Railway,
the Southern Railway and the North
ern Pacific Railway; to determine
what expenses of travel were paid by
the formerJPresident. and what pro-
dortion was furnished by the railroads
themselves.
The editor of the Asheville-Ga-
zette-News, having nothing else to
do, has %nred out that whereas there
are thri% figures of tha same denomina

same has not occurred fdV 23 year and
will not occur again foi 88 years—in
1999. All of which isUteresting if not
valuable.
Can*t Settle Case.
The law is a great institution but
has its defects as is demonstrated by
a case now pendii^ in the courts in
this county, in which Will B. I^berts,
is charged with the killing of Jack, a
dog of good character and the property
of Sheiff J. S. MitcheU, of CarroU
oounty, Va. The d^ndant was bound
over to court for, killing a d^ that
afterwfuds prov^ to be very much
alive and the pr'>seci|^qn failed to show
up at court. The stiwnge part of it all
is that Mr. Roberts still stands indicted
and there seems to be no law by
which he can clear himself of a crime
that every one knows he did not
commit.—Mount Airy Leader.
Justice Harlan of the United States
S^upreme Court is quoted a^> predicting
that some day ‘*a real man from the
west” will come to Washington,
narrowly miss being run down by an
automobile, promptly ‘‘pullhis shoot
ing iron” and “fill the reckless driver
full of holes.” “And,” adds the Jus
tice, “judge though I am, I believe
the man from the West will get off
s(»t free.*’
There are other communities than
Washington in which the services of
such a man are needed, and where
we are confident, they would be r^
warded with immunity from punish
ment at the hands of the law.
A Card Of Thanks.
I want to thank my friends for the

They Never Fail.
If some people would devote more
time and attention, and more hickory
oil to correctly guiding, atkl pn^>wly
training their boys, tet-.ching them
good morals, and good manners, and
the higher law of right liyeing there
would exist much less excuss for ap
pealing to a state Legislature for the
passage of a law with a view of mak
ing a boy behave him-self.
A boy disposed right, heeds the
kindly meant admonition of his par
ents and avoids the wrong, a boy bent
on wrong finds ways and means for
breaking through any fantastical .Leg
islature anactment passed for hia res
traint. There should be less disposi
tion to saddle duties upon the state
those duties clearely belonging to the
parents.
Court of War.
(From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.)
England has a war dabt of |24’000,
000,000 which it will nerer pay. The
intere^ account amotmts to $1,250,-
000,000 annually, iiritii^ the labor of
Europe has to pay. Than think of the
blood chat has been iqitned to create
that burden^, and the sorrow and anguish
it brought to millions of households,
and then listen to the cry of the war
lords for more army and battle ships,
for more powder and cannon. No; it is
time for peace measures, not for war
measures; time to consider, to insist
to combine and to remove the very
possibiMty of a fight. It can be done
and it is a crime agilnst mankind not
to do it.

$15000 Bonds Sold.
Mebane has at last sold her fifteen
thousand dollars worth of street im
provement bonds. Mr E. D. Edwards

at par value. The town clips the ma
tured coupons amounting to about
$600.
We leam that the money from the
sale of the bonds will be available
about February 1st. We presume
that steps will at once be taken look
ing to the b^rining of street improve
ments for which the bonds were yoted.
Judiciously spent, the money ought to
prove of great benefit to Mebane in
improving the streets, they will be
permanent enhancement of value. In
the disbursement of this money much
will go into the channels of trade.

War’s Cost in Peace.
Edmond Terry, a French economist,
figures that to maintain Europe’s
armies on a peace footing in the last
25 years cost $29,000,000,000, increasing
the public debt of the European states
from $20,000,000,000 to $30,000,000,000
and constantly excluding from pro
ductive industry 192,000 officers and
3,800,000 men.
Give Mebane Light.
As contended by the Leader from its
first publication, Mebane should have
some street lights. We are told that
as soon as the electrice wires of the
Southern power company are stretched
passed Mebane that we may get lights,
but h^T If some portion of the bonds
issue had of been made available
for lights this plan would have been
feasable, but as it is, there is nothing
in sight.
The Leader is here to help Mebane,
and it would have been derelict to its
duty if it had not of advocated lights.
A town the size of Mebane without
a single street light is a peculuar pro
position in this age. Don't you ima-
gfine for a moment that you are af
flicting the Leader by failing to pro
vide lights. The Leader is simple a
servant in the interest of this commu
nity. It is your town that is suffering
and there is coming a time when there
will be men who will not permit it to
suffer longer.

Some thought Ed Dillard was having

It is to the credit of Philadelphia
that a strong and widely-endorsed popu
lar protest has been made against the
performance of “La Samaritan” in
that city. The play goes far beyond
the limits of the admissibility of pre.
senting sculptural subjects on the stage,
and no amount of literary or histrionic
meiit it may possess could justify,
shocking, as it would, by the intro
duction of the charter, the Saviour,
the religious sentiment of the over-
wheelming majority of the people of
Philadelphia.
No Room For Dancing
Girls At State Fair.
If the recommodations of Secretary
Pogue, of the North Carolina state
fair, are carried out by the executive
committee the management of the 1911
fair will be instructed to rigidly cut
out all shows in which dancing girls
appear and games in which any phase
of p ambling appears. Mr. Pogue dec-_
lares in his report to the executive
committee that there are plaity of
decent and interesting shows and inno
cent games of skill with fixed returns
to be had after cutting out all the bad
and unworthy ones that apply . The
state fair is shown in the reports to
ha^ been a reccHrd breaking success
with 2,300 more entries than for the
year previous. The premiums awarded
aggregate $3,026, against $3,700 in 1909
A Masquerade Party,
New Bank Begins Busi
ness at Winston-Salem.
The Merchants National bank of
Winston, began business Thursday in
fine quarters in the Masonic Temple
bulding. A great numt)er of deposits,
large and small, were made. The bank
is under the very capeable presidency ot
George W. Maslin, justly regarded as
one of the best bankers in the state,
as cashier, and Owen Norvell, a pop
ular and able young man, as teller.
The directors are among the most
substantial citizens in the community!
There was a Masquerade party pven
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. P. L.
Cooper at Carr December the 27 from
86ven to eleven o’clock P. M. The
rooms of that beautiful home were ar
tistically decorated in the gay colors of
the holidays, red and green. The
young ladies were all tastifally attired
in white linen, while the hostess was
becomingly dress^ in a very light
shaje of blue linen. After enjoying
music rendered by the fair sex in lau
ghter at their comical looking partness,
we repaired to the beautifully arang-
ed dinning room where delicious re
freshments were served. The party
numbered about forty. ^
We wish for that congenial pair a
prosperous and happy new year.
A subscriber.
The life of Fred. The 14 year
son of Mr. and Mrs, W. R. Ward, was
in a most pecular and heart breaking
manner, cut short by death on last
Monday Dec. the 26th. 1910. About 7
oclock he and his father and brother
started out hunting, and in about one
hour, through an accident he was shot,
when this news reached the home it
was made a mournful, and heart breaking
home. It was a suddon shock to the
entire community and has cast a gloom
over the many friends and relatives of
the bereaved family This sudde n
shock should be a warning, to those
who are unprepared for death. Be ye
also ready for you know not the hour
when your blessed Lord shall call thee
home. Little did Fred tlunk when on
that beautiful morning he was calling
his dogs and holding the gun ready for
squirrel hunting, that in one hour his
heart would be shot from him. He
was a great hunter, he was neyer to
tired to walk four or five miles oppos-
um hunting, he loved his dogs and any
where he went he wanted them to
fol'ow. He had planed for great sport
rabbit hunting xmas, and had told us
all his plana for every day during the
holidays, he was a great follower of
his father, where ever he went Fred
was most sure to go. He leaves a
father and mother, three brothers and
three sisters. The funeral services
were conducted at Mt Zion church by
Rev. M. M. McFarlan. He was
quitely laid to rest at Mt Zion cemetary
Tuesday Dec. the 27th. about 1 oclock.
May G^ bless his father and mother,
and brothers and sistes and help them
to be ready when the hour of death
comes. Strange we never prize the
music till the sweet voiced bird is
flown. Strange that we should slight
the violets till the lovely flowers are
gone. Strange the summer skies and
sunshine never seemed one half as fair
as when winters snowy pinions shake
the white daWn in the air. Ah those
little ice cold fingers how they point
our memory to the hasty words and
actions, strewn along our backward
trace’'' How those little hands remind
us as in snowy grace they lie, not to
scatter thorns, but Roses, for our
reaping by and by.

Will Further Dam
Tennessee Legislature in a deadlock.
It seems that forty-one of the forty-
six regular Democrats in the House had
signed the agreement drawn up ear-
liar to remain out of the House until
the Fusionists agree to dismiss the
contests which they had instituted last
Monday involving eight or more seats
held by regulars. One other regular,
who was out of the city, is realy to
sign the argreement and it is asserted
that three of the remainders will sign
as soon as they can be reached.
The effort is to prevent a session of
of the Legislature, and make abortive
the new election that returned a ma
jority of Republican and Fusionist
This is the work of Patterson gang
and if it is effective will further dam
this kind of Democracy. It is to be
hoped that the good people of Tennes
see may be able to bind away out of
it.
Violent Earth Shocks.
Violent earth ^shocks continued at
intervals during last Wednesday at
Kopal, Vyomy and other places in the
government of Semiryetchensk, but
they were not so destructive as those
of the early morning hours, when
many buildings were destroyed. Un
official reports say that hundreds * of
persons have been killed or wounded
and that the distress of the refugees
is terrible, owing to the detruction of
the heating apparatus in the houses and
houses and the intense cold which pre*
vails. Governor-General Pokotiloff re
ports that 1,000 families are without
shelter in Vyornyr
Many soldiers have been injured and
nearly every house in the town, includ
ing the public schools and the gover
nor’s residence, has been damaged.
The loss, however, is less serious than
that occasioned by the earthquake in
1887, because many of the stone build
ings were replaced by buildings of
wood.—The Associated Press.

The big American meat packers
like all the other highly protect^ inter
ests, insist that no measure of tariff
protection less than that now enjoyed
by them would enable the industry to
keep going and return to those engaged
in it a “reasonable” profit on their
investment.
The net earnings of the Armour
Company, one of the constituent mem
bers of the Meat Combination, for the
last fiscal year were approximately
twenty per cent of tne captial stock.
It is the earnings that tell the true
tale; and they could be cut in half and
still leave a profit which the ordinary
business roan would be content to ac
cept as “reasonable” and one consid
erably larger than the average busi
ness pays.
