He was invited to dinner but upon
some pretext did not go in, and when
the other members of the family went
in h} slipped out with the revolver
model, afterwards securing a patent
upon it, from which the family realized
a fortune.

Hats Off To Guilford.
Guilford county again leads all of
the other counties in North Carolina
and through the south in the in
novation of employing a registered
physician to devote his entire time to
the task of teaching the people of the
county the best methods of hygiene
ard the manner of correct living. His
work will be in the nature of “an
ounce of prevention” and much good is
expected to result from his efforts.
If Guilford county has secured the
services of the right, man she has under
taken a service for her citizens whose
value it would be quite difficult to
measure. We take our hat off to
Guilford, it is decidely the most
sensiable thing, we have heard of in
years.

The estimate for the season was
tween 1,600 and 1,800 and those inclose
touch #rith the berry situation say that
this number would have been reached
bad there been sufficient rain. However
the farmers received considerably more
for their crop this year than last, al
though the shipments were not as heavy
by over 100 cars. The average price a
crate was over $3, while last year the
average was $2.
In round numbers the strawberry

$200,000 more than what it was last

Assistant Assessor.
Mr. Editor:-
I want you to give me a little
space in your paper to ask a few ques
tions, Was it not a well known fact
that when certain citizens in Mebane
was talking the bond issue, that the
claim was made that the money was
wanted to build a macadam road to
connect the two roads north and south
of Mebane that we might have one
macadam street through the town?
then pave such streets as were needed
Every man that was interested in
building up Mebane favored this plan.
The money was voted, and in the bank
The present board of Alderman say they
intend to build a macadam road only
from the Warehouse north to connect
with the county road. The ballance of
the money to be used for sidewalk
paving. This amount will come near
covering the entire town with side
walks, and while it will improve a
great deal of property helping to bring
the price up to what is ask for it, it
is going to put a heavy tax on many a
poor man who to-day can hardly shoe
his family, to pay his part of the cost
of the sidewalks. When the people
voted for these bonds they did not ex
pect the money to be largely used to
improve property, and cut down em
bankments for the railroads. May be
some of these days the people of Meb
ane wont be like dumb driven cattle,
but will have some opinions of their
own.
It is public money Mr. Alderman you
are spending, and I with other citizens
of Mebane I have a right to expect it
spent for this towns greatest good.
We want people to come here to trade,
we should be able to give them at least
one decent street to come in on, Mark
me when the tax collector is driven to
sell some mans home to pay his part
01 the street paving assessment there
■is going to be a howl that will be
heard over this town.

ASHEVILLE Mill TO CLOSE.
Notice Posted at Asheville
Cotton Mill—Reason As
signed is That No Money
Has Been Made in Past
Two Years.
Commercial Ashville was given a
genuine shock when it became Known
that, effective June 15, the mills would
close down indefinitely. The reason
assigned for the closing down of the
mills was that the plant had Jiot made
any money for the past two years.
The Ashville cotton mill was one of the
largest industrial plants in the city and
its closing down will be a distinct loss
to the town. It was largely owned and
controlled by the Cones, the well-known
cotton mill men of North Carolin. The
mills haye been in operation here for
the past ten or fifteen years.

A TRUST BUSTER
Standard Oil Decision
Brings About Other
Indictments.
In the first federal antitrust proceed
ing under the Sherman law as inter*
preted by the Standard Oil decision
the department of justice filed suit in
the United States court in New York
Friday last against various constituent
organizations of what is popularly
known as the “lumber trust,” alleging
the existence of a widespread cospiracy
“unreasonably” to restrain the lumber
trade in this country.
It is said that the suit may be the
first of a series planned by i Attorney-
General Wickersham looking to the
breaking up of alleged agreements
among the retailers of many of the
commodities of life to maintain high
prices; to force all ultimate consumers
to buy from retailers and to blacklist
wholesalers who sell to others than
members of the retail organizations in
the various states and cities.
Ten trade organizations and more
than 150 individuals are named as de
fendant s in Friday’s suit. It alleges
violation of the Sherman anti-trust law
and seeks a permauent injunction re
straining the defendant-s from continu
ing the conspiracy charged.
‘ ‘The [trouble with the corporation
is that it is an invention. It is not a
moral unit, as person is. A person
has a definite, calculable character.
His neighbors and associates, at any
rate, know what kind of a man he is.
They know the motives that govern
him, and the influences that will con
trol him. They know how he can be
restrained by opinion and punishsd by
law. But a corporation escapes these
measures and restraints. It is not
anybody in particular. Its very actions
are often, if you look into them, just
a series of moral compromises made
up of as much of the varied judgments
of different people as can be put to
gether in one determination or action.
Therefore, the ancient complaint that
a corpration has no body to be kicked
or soul to be damned.
“Neither is the corporation a social
unit. Those who hold its stock are
generally scattered through a score of
communitie^i, and those who manage
it are often, likewise, residents of
different parts of the country, affected
by different bodies of opinion, govemed
by different motives and environments.
And so it is hard to bring to bear
upon a corporation the judgment of
any community, or of any State even.
It is a device for combining a very
arge variety of persons, and often a
large variety of interests, over the
space of many varied sections of the

The Editor of the Burlington* Junc

“At this writing we have no desire

ourselves upon Abraham’s bosom, Ijut
if we should desire to do so, we wouldn’t
lean up against a loaded gun and then
pull the trigger, as many do. Neither
would we eat a solid meal of rough-on
rats, blow out the gas, drink concen
