There will le 160 children in a special service in the Farmers ware- houie at ten o’clock on the morning of the 4th. They will be under the special care of Mrs. Kee and Miss Fowler. Mr. Coy Patton gave a few of his friends a picnic outing last Friday Among those present were Misses Mdgada Malone, Mary Patton, Nannie Boon, Sudie Cook, Lois Ham and Buena Hurley. Sunday was observed as childrens day at the M. P. church. The exercime were highly interesting. It is said the collection for foreign missions were the largest ever taken up on a simular occasion before. The Leader is issued on the day of the fourth of July, therefore it will not be able to tell anything of the in teresting events that takes place, at Mebane, or of the realization of the expectation of the vast number of people who might be here that day, at any rate we think the fourth will be a hummer. The Mobile Broke Down Mr. C F. Davis and wife, and Mr. Divis’s biother and wife, and Thomas Whitefield left Sunday morning for a joy ride in an automobile. They went north about twelve miles, near Mr. Ralph Vincents when some parts of the machine became disabled from a break. After yainly trying to repair the dam age for some time, and failing, they hired a team of horses and a co\ered wagon and returned to Mebane, reach ing here about two o’clock in the after noon, This gasoline horse is very often ai uncertain quantity. Woodrow Wilson a Bing ham Boy It was learned here to day that Woodrow Wilson had attended a term of school at Bingham. He went in the early eightys.

Bryan is great, that is he is great in defeating the Democratic party. The Bar Association The bar association of North Caro lina meets at Morehead this week, be ginning its session on Wednesday. The op>ening, as well as succeeding sessions, will be held at the Atlantic hotel. The meeting which convenes Wednesday promises to be one of the most interesting as well as important in the history of the state association, and will, in all probability; result in the suggestion to the next general as- e.nbly of several bills of wide interest and importanc throughout the state. Don’t Knock. Once there was a jolly Irishman, who never “found fault.” and one day he lost, in a railroad wreck, both his legs. Some of his friends, thinking they would now get him to complain at his “hard luck,” ask him “well Mike, don’t you think it is pretty hard luck after all?” They were surprised when he smilingly said, “no, indeed, just suppose I was a Ballet dancer.” Now there will be lots of things to criticize that you’ll see, but remember that many are workmg hard to make July 4th a Great day for the town of Mel> ane, and possibly you could not have done more. Let UB all, each and every one, for get our “hammers” for the next few days, at least and “Boost” Mebane for all we are worth, i»nd if we see something wrong, don’t “knock” but try to better it, and give the “glad hand” to everybody and tell them thnt Mebane is not only the “Biggest little Town on Earth,” but the Best Town and th^t we have the Best People on Earth. The Exectitive Committee. Orange Grove Items Those who have threshed report wheat better than they expected. Mr. Chas, M. Crawford and little son of Greensboro are spending a few days with relatives. Elm Grove a >d White Cross again played ball on the Orange Grove diamond Saturday evening, score 11 to 10 in favor of White Cross. Mr. Luico Lloyd and son Mr. Ralph- Lloyd, also Mr. Cicero Jones and wife were visitors at Mr. J. W. Cheek Jr. Sunday. Miss Aline Perry spent last week at Efland visiting friends and assisting with the music in a childrens day exercises. Messrs Seaton Lloyd and Will Eubanks were callers at Mr. C. W. Lloyds Sun day evening. Mr. Henley of South ^Carolina is spending several days visiting Mr. W. T. Reynolds and other relatives in Orange county. Messrs. Chas. M. Crawford of Greens boro and Walter S. Crawford of Mebane spent Saturday night with their mother Mrs. D. Frank Crawford and returned to theii respective homes Sunday. Rev. R. C. Siebbins pastor of the Ridge church preached at Cane Greek Sunday to a large congregation and those who failed to hear him missed a treat “His sermon was fine” was the general comment, we feelllike Bro. Stebbins comes back home wheu he comes to Cane Creek and he will ever be welcome. We were glad to see Mr. T. O. Pender Sunday and have him with us again, as a little fellow would say “he can sing to beat the band.” Mr* Robin Williams and Miss Ida Thompson spent Saturday night and Sunday at Mr. J. J. Crawfords. Most of the young people from Orange Grove will “go to the fourth” at Mebane this year. 15 TELEPHONE KILLED GIRLS Her Anniversary. The friends of Mrs. Rebecca Ferrell met at her home at Mr. Ed Ferrells last Saturday and helped her to celebrate the 75 anniversary of her birthday. A remarkable incident was that there were eight people at the' table for dinner whos« average age was 70 yeara To Raise Their Building The Mebarie Bedding Co. is arranging for elevating their factory building about three feet. This is the building in which their machinery is operated. The necessity for the rais^ was made on account of the recent elevation of the street. It is a pretty large build ing and there will be considerable trouble in making the raise. Th« building is about 250 feet long by about 83 wide. Would Like to Choke him Miss Genevieve Clark when she heard of Bryans assault upon her father, and his assertion that would vote for Wil son as long as the New York delegation voted for Clark said: “I remember well when my father went out and borrowed five dollars here and there and sometimes two dollars at a time to help Bryan make his campaig^ns when I was a small girl. I would like to choke him.” And there are others Miss Genevive. A Sad Death. Floyd Stewart a young man 18 years of age living near Hawfields church, and a son of Mrs. James Stewart died at St. Leo’s Hospital Greensboro Monday night Young Mr. Stewart was taken fronot Mebane to Greensboro on the six o’clock afternoon train. He was suffering from appendicitis, and is supposed to have died soon after the operation. His remains were returned to Mebane on the eleven o’clock train Tuesday morning, they were taken to Hawfields where he was intered. Estimated that 100 People Lost Their Lives When Storm Struck Reginao It is estimated that from 50 100 people were killed and property loss of $10,000,000 entailed by a tornado, which after a day of thunderstorms and high winds, struck Regina, Sask near Winnipeg Sunday evening at 6 p. m. The lojal telephone office was wrecked and it is feared that fifteen g'Ws employed there were killed. Tne telephone exchange building, the Standard block, the First Baptist church and the Bottell building are among the structures destroyed. And it Would Have Been A Misfortune. If the majority rulo had of controled at the Baltimore conventiont Clark would have been nominated at its early stages, and so it is fortunate that it did *’ot control. Any man who will make the following remarks about the late Grover Cleveland and ^they are attributed to Clark, ought never to see the White House, Clark said: “There are but two men in the hoary registers of time that Cleveland’s name ought to be associated with—Judas Is cariot and Benedict Arnold. Shade of Arnold forgive the profanation! He, at least, did not have a substitute to do his fighting. * * * Upon reflection, I think really I ought to beg the pardon of Judas Iscariot, because, after his treason, he did have the grace to go out and hang himself.” IT IS WOODROW WILSON On The 46’ Ballot He Is Nam ed to Lead Democracy Mil itant Host. A convention thoroughly ex- austed, after many delegates having left for their homes. Tuesday evening on the 46th ballot Woodrow Wilson was nominated. The Leader believes Mr, Wilson a good man for the place and in every sense thor oughly qualified. It has how ever hoped that Mr. Underwood would be nominated. Mr. Un derwood was our first choice, however as the mantel falls upon Mr. Wilsons shoulder it is al right with us. We are certainly pleased to know that Mr. Clark did not get the nomination. It is useless to discuss our reasons for ob jecting to Clark, but they are many. W. J. Bryan, the poli tical autocrat, can now go off and arrange |for a third party with Teddy. Keeping History Straight There has been some criticism of the resolution adopted at our state convention endorsing the course of our senators and representatives in con gress, and it has been alleged that such a resolution is unusual. This allegation is not sustained by the facts, for, on the contrary, it has been customary for our state convention to adopt such a resolution. By reference to the files of the Rec ord we find in our issue of July 1st, 1908, that such a resolution was adop ted at the memorable convention held at Charlotte in June, 1908. That re solution is so similar to the one adopt- That passage is as stupid as it is dis-' ed at Raleigh that we copy it as fol- gusting, as silly as it is mendacious. It sounds like a blatherskito, not like a statesman, George Francis Tram would have been ashamed to father it. Be sides that, it smacks mightily of a pla giarism. industrial Display. A number of our merchants and man- ufacturers have arranged attractive tK)oths in the Piedmont Warehouse for the display of their wares. Among those who have booths are J. P.

Policeman Get Worsted. It is said that there was a man by the name of Abee in Burlington Satur day night who manifested symptons of having taken on an over dose of blind tiger booze,of an unusual mean quality. A policeman tninkinjE Mr. Abee needed his attention proceeded to take charge of him with a view of conducting him to the comforting quarters of the calaboose, Mr. Abee did not go far before he balked, the policeman insisted on his continuing his journey to the calaboose, when Abee got mad and proceeded to mop up the street with the policeman, five other policeman came to his assistance, but this did not work, Abee by the stimulating effect of his blind tiger booze proceeded to make a merry go round with the whole outfit. Abees brother came on the stage at tWa state of the proceeding and took his brother away warning the police man not to follow, the policeman said felt tired «r and broke up. There are parties who promised to act as the Leader correspondents in their respective communities. It has been a long time since we have heard from some of ,them. We should be glad to hear from them. Some letters we received in winter comes in too late in the week for pub lication, and were necessarily omited from the paper. We should be glad for you to mail your letters Monday if possible. We can handle them all right and shall be gUd to he«r from you.

Teachers Represent “Hoboes and Tramps” Addressing four hundred teachers of the University Summer School Satur day afternoon, Hon. P. P. Claxton United Stat‘-s Commissioner of Edu cation at Chapel Hill Summer School, facetiously declared that the school teachers of the county represented the the biggest band of ‘‘hoboes and tramps.” This introductory assertion preceded his earnest plea for the teachers of North Carolina to teach in their native communities in order that they might familiarize themselves with the past experiences of a child entering school. Dr. Claxtan outlined these steps for the teachers to follow in their respective schools: First to recognize the native capacity of the child; second, use child’s experience prior to entering school; third, develop the child along lines touching life after leaving school lows: “We endorse the able and progres sive administration of Governor R. B. Glenn and the state officers, and we approve and commend to the people of North Carolina the record of our sena tors and representatives in the con gress of the United States.” We write this not with any atten tion of taking part in the unfortunate senatorial controversy, but merely to keep histcxy straieht.—Chatham Re cord. And it So Elswhere. “The people of Caswell county should refuse tosuppoit any man fora county office who is a factional bigot, and who uses his potical influences for making a personal fight on a good citizen who was born and bread on her soil, and would feign from migrating from her borders.

His son or daughter that he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom We trust with our happiness and our good name, may become traitors to their faith. The money that a man has he may lose. It flies away when he needs -it Kost. His may be sacrificed in a moment of ill considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our hoards. The one absolute unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts nim, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog. Gentlemen of the jury, a man’s dog stands bv him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drivfes fiercely, if only he can be near his master’s side. He will kiss that hand that has no food to offer, he will lick wounds and sores that come en counter with the world. He guards . the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert he remains. When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces he is as constant in his love as the sun is in its journey through the heavens. If fortune drives the master forth an outcast in the world as friendless and homeless, the faithfnl dog asks no higher privilege than that of accom panying him to guard against danger, to fight against his enemies, and when the last scene of all comes and death takes the master in its embrace and his body is laid a way in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends persue their way, there bv his grave side will the noble dog fee found, his head be- between his paws, his eyes sad but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even to death,—By U. S. Senator West of Missouri Miss May Pai4cer visited her uncle Mr Henry Blalock Saturday and Sun day. Mr. Billie McKee is real sick, we hope he will soon recover. I will ring off for this time and give some one else room. With best wishes to the Leader. Polly. Now that Hon, Locke Craig has got ten the 1 .’emocratic nomination for Governor by unamimous verdict, we wonder if the powers that be are ready to read him out of the Democratic party because only a few years ago he bolted the nominee of the Democratic party, W. J. Bryan, and supported Wm McKinley for the Presidency. In or der to be consistent they will haye to support some one other than Mr. Craig. —Yanceyville Sentinel. The Sentinel we believe is a rank partizan Kitchin paper. Thd above is simplv an echo from Kitchin’s work four years ago. Vice-President Governor Thomas R. Marahall of In diana named for vice-President of the United State as Wilson'a running mate Clark Says. Speaker Clark issued the following statement in reffrence to Bryans attack on him. “Today in the national convention an outrageous aspersion was cast upon me and through me, upon the democratic party by one who of all men ought to be the last to besmudge or betray his friends or his party. So far as 1 am personally conceaned, it is enough to say that the charge which reflects upon my personal or party integrity is utterly and absolutely false. I might afford to forget myself, hut I am by the choice of the democratic majority of the house of representatives the ranking official democrat in national public life. “I cannot be false or corrupt with out reflecting upon my party in the most serious way.” Interest ot The Witness How come Mr. Kitchin allowed his erstwhile opponent, trust favorite, non- Consistency. There is no stronger in and out of season supporter of Governor Kitchin’s candidacy than the Durham Herald. That paper says: •‘While we favor Mr, Kitchin, we would vote for Mr. Simmons with as j much grace as we would vote for Aid- rich, Crane or Cannon.” No one will deny that the Herald is entirely consistent in taking that position since it has openly and boldly announced that it will not vote for Mr. Craig f'^r governor if there is any other white man in the race. Marion Butler is not even barred. We assume that i the Herald still believes the things Mr. Kitchin said about Mr. Craig four years ago. and in that our contemporary is more consistent than Mr. Kitchin, as the latter is now quiet about Mr. Craig and has allowed the Democrats to hand him a unanimous nomination without even a frown of protest.—Greensboro News The Co.

If the Democrats wdl‘profit by the friend of the people, Craig, to be unan- follies and the blunders of the Repub licans and not foolishly emulate them, they will have the cordial commenda tion of the people and will be reward ed by a signal triumph in November.— Nashville Terr», If they would, but they wont, with Bryan as a leader, they could not, when you get a people who make a demi god out of a political demagoguf it can not be “did.” then he is wrong now, and Mr. Kitchin is not faithful to his p -*ople in failing to warn them of their danger. Oh, maybe the governoi was wrong in his opinion of Craig. Well, maybe he is also wrong on his opinion of Simmons. Hio own party in convention assembled has said he was in both cases. “To be or not to be—that’s the question. ” “I pushed Craig aside and became governor; to push Simmons aside and become senator-that’s the point.” Also, the motive of our actions.

The Charlotte News predicts that Senator Simmons’ majority will be a record breaker. It says truly that he is one southern senator who has made a rational reputation and the Old North known better than to “fool” State needs him more than he needs the job — Webster’s Weekly. Governor Kitchin has giyen notice tc the public that he is going to improve his speeches by holding up his own record alongside of that of Senator Simmons. That sounds better.
