The Leader is doing its duty for this

more of goods at one time, you can

There should be a material improv-
ment in trade in Mebane owing to the
employment and pay of a large force

that it will be so distributed that all
of our merchants can particepate in
its benifits. This is what is reason
able expected.
The Leader was requested to publish
a prtigram for the fourth of July, it
done so with rebuclanch because it
doubted the posibility to carry out the

here on that day, posibly some came
who was disapointed, if so the Leader
regrets it, because it will never inten-
tionaly mislead any one.

The near beer dealers of Raleigh
took down their signs on the first of
July as the law prescribed, but as a
matter of precaution they took out
government beer license. This is a
mild suggestion that there may yet
be something doing in the near or far
beer business, even though the state
says “thou shall not.” If they are
caught red handed with the goods
may be they can do a# the Standard ‘
Oil Company did find an other Judge
Stronach to settle the matter for them.
Does it Fit?
There is no better proof of ill breed
ing, inferior minds, and depraved souls
than that exhibited by a class who en-

j ating from the diseased liar, a hired
Mbeler. Tlwre is no distinction ex-

I the character of their clothes. The

I trator of a libel is on a par. One is

one section^but hail from every part of
the South and particularly from Vir

generous sprinkling of Northern
pleasure seekers.
For the balls this season Manager

always pleasant there, out door sports
are at their greatest popularity.
During each day there are countless
fishing parties, at night either sailing
on B^ue Sound or dancing in the

The I^egislature of 1901 passed a
specific law to prevent the depredation
of domestic fowls. This law applies to
a number of counties among them
Alamance, It applies to turkeys, geese,
chickens, ducks, and other domestic
fowls. After being notified you must
not permit fowls to run upon any land
that may be cultivated for grains,
feed stuff, or for a vegetable, or orna
mental gardens. That a violation of
this law is a misdemeanor, with a
penalty of $6,. ar imprisonment of 5
days. If these fail of relieaf a justice
of the peace may order an officer to kill
said fowls.

THIRTY SPINNING MILLS CLOSE
DOWN
Many Thousands of Oper
atives Thown Out of
Employment For Ten
Days or Longer.
Thirty or more spinning mills in
Gaston county will be closed down for
the next ten days, or two weeks, and
as a consequence many thousands of
mill operatives will be idle for that
period. This number represents 75 per
cent or more of the spinning mills and
even larger percentage of spindles in
that county.
Tobacco Crop Prospects
Bad.
•
From all sections of the state have
come reports of a poor tobacco crop
this year due to a large extent to the
poor stand obtained in the spring. It
is estimated that there will be about
half a crop according to estimates of
the department of agriculture.
Even where a fairly good stand was
obtained the dry weather has prevent
ed proper development. The indica
tions are that tobacco will bring a good
price this fall. The cotton crop is in
much better condition and in many
sections is looking very fine. Corn
seems to be in a good condition

Forerunners of Happiness
“It takes five years for a man and
his wife to learn to adapt themselves
to one another, but the five years of
learning well spent are the forerunners
of a lifetime of happiness.”
And it is true, too, for fully two-
thirds of the divorces, the legal sepera-
tiona, the quarrels and the unhappiness
of married couples come in those first
five years the years when the two
personalities are clashing because they
have not yet learned to make one
perfect whole; years when youth with
its freedom and little joys seems very
far away and full of happiness; years
when a woman must put forth all her
tact, her charm and her tenderness to
help the man, just as he must put forth
all his efforts in trying to understand
the never ending mystery of a woman’s
moods.
And all the pretty June brides are
now facing the beginning of those
years. How many, do you suppose,
will win the sheltered harbor that lies
across the stormy sea—the harbor of
peace and the wonderful happiness of
married life when the real and the
riper love has won over the passing
storms of emotions?
We would like for our correspondents
t.0 be a little more prompt. Send in
your communication on Monday then
they will reach us on time.
Excuse us for being a little crowded
this week in our reading matter space.
