The Blue Mouse.
Some one who knows, ought to rise
up and give an excuse for the existance
of the play called the “Blue Mouse,"
because to an ordinary observer it is a
bad play, and should because of it !:•
tabooed, interdicted.
If it is permited played, then an un
suspecting public ought to be advised
of its true character, and not be mis
lead into believing its a play fit to be
seen by respectable people. If you
wish to be led in to the private appart-
ents of a demimonde, and note the at
titude of an easy going mopsy drama
tised with telling situation, then go
see the Blue Mouse. Its an effort to
to make funny, and attractive a den of
are clever ^ demoralization and vice.
A year ago the officials of Greensboro
wanted to drape the bill board pictures
of ballett dancers, now ladies and gen
tleman in that staid city of moral
retitude swallows the Blue Mouse
without every making a wry face. If
there is not a law that would prevent
such plays then some one has been de-
releot in duty in not creating one.

FAMINE AND PLAGUE SWEEP
ING OVER CHINA
Death Rate Numbers Two
Hundred Daily and the
Worst is Not Known—
Epidemic Like the Present
Has not Visited the World
Since the Middle ages
Horrible Conditions Des
cribed.
Fafaiine and the plague are sweeping
over China. The known deaths from
the plague number, 30 000 and according
to the official statistics, the death rate
averages 200 daily. But the officials
have little knowlege of the conditions
in the interior, or, if they have, they
are not permitting the facts to be
known.
It is impossible even to estimate the
number of deaths that have resulted
from lack of food. Dr. Samuel Cochran
an American, who is engaged in the
work of relief, writes:
“One million people will die before
the first crop is harvested. This will
be scanty, because the people have not
the strength to till the soil, and no
animals remain for plowing.”

ly now especialy in Northern Alamance
Orange and Caswell counties, and
there is one thing about the matter
that especialy gives us pleasure that is
our new subscrit)ers seem to like the
paper so well. Help us to push our
list all you can, say a good word for it.
A New Switch.
A force of hands under the manage
ment of a Southern R, R, section
Master was engaged the first of the
week in cutting down the embankment
in front of the Leader office on the
railway widening the cut so as to put
in, or extend switching facilites. Mebane
is nearer midway between Greensboro,
Durham than any other station, it at
present is designated as the passing
point for East and West bound trains
at 11 am. If one or more freights are
caught at Mebane at the hour desig
nated, it makes it bad about switching
off. It is some times the case that a
train is held at Efland to pass Thats the
reason for switching space.

The failures of Messrs B.S. Robertson

gave much time to the woirking out of

upon anything heretofore adopted in

The executive board of the association,
as provided for under the resolution,
was instructed to bring the protest to
the attention of Congress as soon as
1 might be deemed necessary.
