England Shivering With
Cold.
It has beeii announced that the to
bacco *\'arehouse would open here
about the middle of September, but
there are some tobacco men who are
farmiliar with the tobacco situation
who tfiink it would be practical to ad
opt an earlier date. They claim that
it has been so very dry that the crop
will mature this year much earlier than
usual, and if the warehouses do not
open earlier they will miss the sales of
some tobacco, that otherwise they
might got.
A Duty Pointed Out.
The railroad man who is “rather
high up in point of service,” and who
has written a letter to Judge Clark
stating that he has received orders
“direct from officials of the road,” to
gesign from a Clark campaign club,
owes a duty to himself, to Judge Clark
and to the State. That duty is to
give Judge ClarK permission to make
public the name of the writer, to
specify the railroad offending and to
give the name of the railroad official
issuing the order. Judge Clark and
his friends could afford, to provide for
the writer of the letter, in case of his
discharge from the railroad service,
and we have no doubt they are able to
do this. A former railroad letter was,
is yet, a source of grievous embarrass
ment to Judge Clark. If the writer of
this later letter is a real friend of Judge
Clark, he will not hesitate to make
public his name and the facts.—Char-
lootte Observer.

Are you doing business in Mebane, [
and carrying no advertisment in yoirj
local naper, then you are failing to let i
the world know in the best medium
jou can let it know in that you are a
hustler. When a man living elsewhere
picks up the Mebane Leader he sees
mirrored in its collums a refex of the
active business men of that town.
The absence of an advertisment of a
particular line of business either creates
the impression that there is no one in
that business in the town, or if there
is the party has no snap, or hustle,
and there is a belief that there is room
for some one who has both.

men in the
prison were
at dawn one morning last
week. The seven others at the doors
of whose cells guards were not standing
opened their eyes and some of them
went back to sleep.
There came a shuffling of fe«ft on the
concrete floor that leads to the myster
ious room, the door of which only opens
once to a condemned man. Behind the
priso*'''’- who war- ■- jmi xhJ was a priest.
Thti' Li.j door clor,ed. In a few minutes
there came more shuffling of feet;
again a death ceil swung: wide and there
were but twelve men left in the death
house.
And so the shuffling of feet went on
and the doors of the death cells opened
from time to time and m&n shambled
forth. Inside the mysterious room men
stood about a death chair, which was.
not rool from taking the life from one
man before another sat in it, had his
arms and legs strapped down and a
steel band placed across bis forehead.
The Warden dropped a handkerchief
and another man died.
As fast as the electricity shocked
away a life the body was carried to an
adjoining room, and there doctors made
sure that the heart no longer beat.
MURDERERS OF MRS. HALL.
Six of the men who paid the death
penalty last week were Italians, five of
whom took part in the murder of Mrs.
Mary Hall of Croton Lake. A sixth
man who had a hand in her atrocious
murder wks executed on July 8.
The first of the condemned men who
came from his cell for the last time
was John W. Collins, a negro, murderer
of a New York policeman. Much
influence had been brought to bear to
get Gov. Djx to commute Collin’s
negro came fro.n his cell with a grin,
and with a firm step he walked into the
d 'ath chamber. On reaching the chair
he dropped 1o his knees, offered ,a
brief prayer and soon was gone.
Then camo Lorenzo Call, carrying a
crucifix. He took his seat in the chair
and was protesting his innocence,
when the warden dropped his handker
chief and the next instant he was dead.
Salvatore de Marco was the third.
As he was whispering “God is my wit
ness, I die innocent,” he fell over un
conscious. He was revived and exe
cuted.
After him came Phillip de Marco,
who also was protesting his innocence
when the electric current stopped him.
UNCONSCIOUS WHEN KILLED.
3,Vincenzo Guista followed and then
the death cell door swung for Vincenzo
Cona to come out. He went white as
he saw the death chair. Four of his
companions who had aided him in the
murder of Mrs. Hall lay dead in a room
into which a door opened. Cona tried
to kiss a crucifix he held, then fell
insensible* Still unconscious, he was
lifted into the chair and strapped down
and put to death.
The last was Joseph Ferrone, a New
York wife murderer, who has been
threatening trouble. When he was in
the Tombs before he was convicted
and sent to Sing Sing he swore he
would not die in the electric chair.
From the day of his arrest he has been
stubborn and ugly, but all the bravado
and bluff had left him as he came
pattering into the death chamber. He
was actually smiling as he kicked off
the prison alippers, sank into the chair
ard waited to die.

Getting in Some Good
Work
Police officers hold to the idea that
information regarding crimes and the
I suspects should be clo«ely guarded
from the newspapers, bu*^^ there are
exceptions, or should be. For instance, |
had the chief of police of High Point}
given the name of the suspect in the |
I bomb case as soon as he had the evi-
young j dence in hand, more than likely he
! would been in custody long ago. The
silliness of this secrecy is apparent; j
when a man commits a crime is on (
guard; he is watching closeiy, while i
often he decamps, as in this instance,
and all the newspaper notoriety seldom
aids him in the least Newspapers
Fear ot The System
When arrested at Hot Spnngs, Sam
Schepps is quoted as saying: “There
are 500 men on the New York police
force that would gut me where Rosen
thal is if they got a chance.” It will
be recalled that Rose and Weber ex
pressed similar fears. It seems that
these attaches of the System walk in
fear of the police not as guardians of
the law but as members of a gai^
more terrible than their own as promp t,
to crime, sUrer to kill.—^New York World

The people of the United States
produced more whisky and rum and
smoked more cigaretts during the
fiscal year 1912 than ever before in the
history of the country, according to
the preliminary annual report of Royal
P. Cabell, commissioner of internal
revenue, submitted to Secretary Mac-
Veagh today. The consumption of
whisky was exceeded only by the year
of 1907, but beer drinking fell off bv
a substantial percentage.
The unprecendented smoking of 11,-
221,624,084 cigaretts, exceeding the
record of 1911 by nearly 2,000,000,000
amazed treasury officials, who were
unable to account for the enormous
increase.
Stored in warehouses the country
over are 263,783,070 gallons of whisky
and rum, the greatest on record. In
Kentucky alone are stored 158,000,000
gallons, which exceeds the total amount
of whisky and rum in the whole United
States eleven years ago. The record
production of these intoxicants for 1912
was 188,000,000 gallons, or 13,000,000
gallons greater than 1911. The con
sumption of whisky and rum for 1912
was 133,377,458 gallons, the nearest
approach to the record of 134,031,000
gallons in 1907.
The consumption of beer for 1912 was
only 561,108,7^ barrels, a decrease of
over 1,108,000 barrels as compared
with 1911.
