Mr. Will Murray is laying a foundation for a handsome residence on his lot between Mrs. H. A. Basons and Mr. _ S. G. Morgans. This is one of the' prettiest lots in Mebane, and we learn that Mr. Murray will grace it with a handsome residence. Mr. Walter Malone is also preparing to erect a nice 8 room house, in the neighborhood of Dr. Yorks new home. Mr. R. W, Bright will also erect a nice home. It will be an 8 room house.

FIRE AT MEBANE One Store, Stock of goods and The Post Office Burned. GOES UP IN FLAME Mr. I. L. Ferrees Auto mobile Burned It is a little late news, but us we were so pushed with the fourth of July it escaped us, we will give it now. Mr. I. L. Ferree, a citizen of Meb ane who recently struck it rich some- whc re purchased for his joy riding a big double barrell automobile. Every thing went smooth until he decided to use the “thing” and then came a streak of bad luck that came quite close to being serious, sure enough. On the 3rd of July he was returning from Greensboro with his wife and Mrs. Nelson also Mr. Wy«tt as chaf faur. They wore traveling at a pretty lively clip, when they reached a point near Elon College, it being a little dark they were about to run past the road they should turn out to reach Mebane, when making a sudden turn with the machine they run into an embankment and came near turning turtle, at any rate Mrs. Ferree got a bit bruised up, and all got out of the machine. Mr. Wyett found there was something wrong as he could not make it go, about that time a Mr. Kemord- ly of Burlington came up with his machine, and got out to see if he could give any assistance, in trying to find the trouble he struck a match, this ignited with some spilled gasoline, in an instant this spread to the mach> ine when the whole thing flashed up a roaring furnace. Every particle of wood, or other combusteble materal, was burned and the machine droped to pi^es a compleet wreck of burnt and twisted iron, fit only for the junk heap We learn that Mr. Ferree says he ex pects to buy him an other pretty soon. It is well to be able to do so. )bituary Orange Qrove Items. Mr. and Mrs. Walton of Norfolk, Va., are visiting Mrs. Waltons parents Mr. and Mrs. C. W.

Perry’s Saturday night and Sunday and attended the ice cream party at Mrs. D. F. Crawf''rds Saturday night. The picnic given by Ihe Baraca and Philathea classes on Saturday July, 13th was well attended by both clashes and many visitors, and all reported a very pleasant time.

Lynch all from near Durham; also Mr. Wade Sykea and sister and Miss Alma Durham of Durham with many other visitors enjoyed the day and the party that followed with the two classes. The cummunity was saddened Satur day by the death of little Bernice Cates, the two year old child of Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Cates, he had only been sick for a few days; but the Great Creator saw fit in his matchless wisdom to send an Angel to pluck this fair flower from earth, which is full of misery and disappointments £n J trans plant it where all is peace and happiness and love, who would call him back from his myriad hosts of little Angel play mates to this cold unfeeling world. He was gently laid to rest on Sunday evening. The funeral services were conducted by Rey. Mr, Green of Hillsboro, the pall berears were Messrs Hiram Cheek, Graham Crawford, Chandler Cates and John Crawford four members of the Baraca class of which his father is teacher. The father and mother have the sympathy of the entire community in their sad bereave ment Picnicing at Occoneechee. The young people of Mebane enjoyed a most delightful time last Tuesday 9, at Occoneechee farm near Hillsboro. The party reached Occoneechee at 11 o’clock and walked out to the club house where a delicious lunch was served. After lunch many air.usements were indulged in, among which were games, kodakuig, fishing, mountain climbing and the visiting of historical around Hillsboro. At 6 o’clock dinner was spread on the lawn in front of General Carr’s sum mer home. After dinner the crowd strolled down lover’s lane in couples to the Hillsboro station where they caught the last west bound train for home.

Din- li' s. G. Morgan returned Sunday ' olumbia. S. C., where he had ■'pending several days with his who is '■ndition as much improved, and to be able to bring her home in a I wlule. Mr. Morgan brought back • itn his little daughter Mary Allen. The 19th of June being the seventy fifth birthday of Mrs. R. O. Farrell, her daughter Mrs. Jas. S. Cheek ^ave a dinner in honor of the day, quite a large number gathered at the home, and when Mrs. Cheek telephoned her mother to come and spend the day with her, this dear, stately, old lady was very much surprised when she walked in and found so many of her old friends on hand to assist her in celebrating the dav that had brought | her to the three-fourlh of the century mark. This lady dees not look to be 80 old, her friends of days gone by, were very glad to see her looking so young. When the guests had been seated at the table and a count made of the ages, the average was 70 and one half years. The guests were: Mrs. J. N. H. Clendenin of Graham, (a school-mate of Mrs. Farrell, who herself was 75 ill, Mr. Morgan reports j years of age on the 2nd day of June.) na mimVi 1 nr>r»i*r»v»H nr\H Mrs. L L. Kemodlo of Graham, Mrs. W B. York, (the only surviving sister of Mrs. Farrell) Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Fowler, the latter an only living bro ther, Hon. and Mrs. T. M. Cheek, Miss Pattie York, Messrs. E. Y. and T. C. FarreU, sons of Mrs. Farrell, Mrs E. Y. Ferrell andisons, Edgar, Harry and William. Mrs. Cheek was assisted in receiving the guests by her husba nd Mr. J. S. Cheek. On Wednesday morning June 19th 1912 the death Angel came to the home of Mr. Ira Lewis and took from his loving embrace his precious wife, Annie after an illness of thirteen weeks medical aid and the special attention of oved ones could not stay the hand of death, for she and they saw in the near future “the silver cord would break” and so it did and Angels bore her gentle spirit home Only six months ago Annie was a bright and beautiful bride, but disease and deaih had marked her as their prey, and even love which is stronger than death could not hold her he^re. How the mothers heart ached and the young husband wept as they stood by the bed and saw death with his mighty cycle cut the full blown rose, but weep not hu.sband, sorrow not mother father sisters and brothers for Annie whose spirit to day is mingling with departed loved ones on that Golden Shore. It filh our hearts with sadness when we think of the rich promise of this young life cut down in the very flower of its usefulness and activity, and of the grief stricken homes where her presence was an inspiration and a joy, and of the desolate broken hearts of those who loved her so much. She was converted at an early age, and de veloped a sweet hnd lovely womanhood. She was attractive in peison and engageing in manners cultivated in mind and rich in Christian graces. After death as she lay on the couch where loving hands had placed her we almost caught a vision of Angels and felt the heavenly radiance a smile of such unearthly brightness rested on the sweet pale face. “Sleep on dear Annie and take thy rest. We loved thee well but loved thee best.” Mrs. Lewis was 19 years of age, and leaves a young husband mother father five sisters and four brothers to mourn the loss of a loved one. The funeral services were conducted by her pastor and her remains laid to rest in Orange Chapel church yard. Her gentle voice now is hushed, Her warm true heart is still And on her young and innocent brow Is resting death’s cold chill Her hands are clasped upon her breast We have kissed her lovely brow. And in our aching hearts we know We have no Annie now. Earth has lost its look of gladness Heaven seems to us more bright, Since the spirit of our dear one Took its homeward flight. One who knew and loved her. “F" ot the way and let everything that means a better community and happier people go marching on.

Blease, of South Carolina, with official corruption, was introduced be fore the dispensary investigating com mittee of that state ni a hearing A S. Reed, a Bums detective, and Thomas B. Felder, the Atlanta attorney, were the principal witnesses. So unexpected was the character of the evidence that after the hearing was adjourned. Chairman H. B, Charl- isle, of the committee, asserted that the newly adduced charges against the South Carolina governor would be thoroughly sifted. Detective Reed’s testimony included records taken with a telephonic device relative to negotiations for the pur chase of a convict’s pardon from the South Carolina penitentiary. The records, Reed testified, were of con versations between the detective and Sam J Nicholls, a Spartanburg attor ney, reputed to be a go-between for Governor Blease. Reed testified James Johnson, a yeg- gman with several aliases, serving a 10 year sentence in the i>enitentiary for robbing a eafe of J8,000, was the convict about whom the negotiation were conducted.

Simmons, It is said that there is avast inerease in the use of Cocain, in fact its use is growing rapidly. Its use among the negroes of this country began about twenty yeary fgo, wh»n the Steveadores of Charleston, Sayanah and New Orleans learned that through the use of Cocain they could do much morelabor in loadirg steamers and vessels than they could without its use, they could endure more, work longer with less fatigue. When a steamer comes to port it must be loaded at once if it takes all day. and all night, then there may be days of rest. This was the beginning of the use of Cocain among the negroes, its use soon began to spread rapidly, and to day there is hardly a city in this country that has not an arrtiy of Cocain fiends. The states, have attempted to suppress its use and sale, but with poor results. Cocain is dangerous by reason of the manner in which it affects the individual. Negroes have been known to become absolutely crazy under its influence and in such state are liable to commit any act. It simply removes the balance wheel of conduct and there is no telling what will happen. And just here enters the loafing element, who for the most part are addicted to the use of cocaine. The two problems are so entangled the one with the other that anything that will have a curative effect upon one will likewise help the other. Absynth has been the bane of France for more than a century. It has sent more people to suicide graves, caused more murders and crimes than any thing else known, France is trying to get rid of absynht, America is tryinjjr to get rid of cocain and China is trying to get rid of Opium. There is a heavy charge against all of these drugs for crime and suffering. And it came to pass that after he had advartised his goods, there came unto him great multitudes from all the reg^ions round about and did buy of him. And when his competitors saw it they marveled amonc: themselves, saying: '*How be it that this man is busy while we loaf idly about our doors?” And he spake unto them: “In this fast age of push and rustle it is easier for a camel to enter the eye of a needle than for a man to flourish without advertising. ’'— Sylvan Valley News. the Pecan in Georgia The sale of a 600-acre pecan grove in Mitchell county for $200,000 indicates how a pecan grove as an investment is regarded by those with money to invest. Pecan growins: in south Geor gia is of recent date, although the trees have been plant^ for many years Of the gprove which sold for a small fortune, one-half the trees are in bear ing, although young. The land on which this grove was planted was worth $25 to $50 per acre. In eight years 'time its value was increased to $333 per acre, or about 900 per cent. From this must be deducted the ex pense of planting and care, but with the most liberal estimates for these the investment was a splendid one. And those who bought the grove got value since the grove will yiekl from 75,000 to 100,000 pounds of nuts tfais season, and this will be more than doubled when all the trees come into bearing. Once in bearii^, the pecAn tree is fruitful for an indefinite time, being hardy and kmg lived, and the crop is reasonably certain. Peacan growing is an attractive Investment. — Savannah News. 2 Dress pattern.

His friends may make a mistake if they attempt to make a perpetual candidate of him.---Durham Herald, Bryan Fails. I (From the Albany Journal.) Of the candidates that have been in the running, Woodrow Wilson is nearest like Mr. Bryan. Therefore Mr. Bryan’s support would naturally have to him in the first place |if the Nebraskan had been willing that any one but himself should be nominated. The deadlock might have developed in any case'. Mr, Bryan’s maneuvering mad^ it certain. And he could have but one object in working to produce it’ which was to create a condition that would precipitate a stampede of which he would become the beneficiary. As it is, his plan has failed. He has succeeded only in so dividing his party against itself that a coming together of the factionsjs out of the question. Wanted to buy timbered land. als(> would like to buy a farm. W. E.
