Mr. Elditor:- What the women of Lincolnton has done to clean, and beautify their town, can be done by the women of Mebane, and I believe that they will do it. There are several of the ladies of Mebane who are interested in a civic league, and with the proper encourage ment would do something. I have just been informed that the committee on organization appointed some time ago are hard at work, and have secured a promise of Mrs. Jones of Durham to come up and give them a talk on civic league work and aid them organize. I suggest that the town commissioners take this matter up with the committee on organization and write Mrs. Jones. Now is the time to commence work, and have a general cleaning up.

Fly swatters are a refinement to be used onJjy in houses or rooms where all the doors and windows are screened. Fly swat ters are merely a finishing process— a matter of refinement, if vou please— to be used in a well screened room or house where there are perhaps never over a dozen flies. By means of fly swatters you can lay low the last fly i in a room, but if the room is not well screened you might as well blow against the wind as to try to keep all I’hey knew they were committing the flies out by swatting. j murder, were “cleaning out” a court The first thing to do, therefore, is | their unbridled pas te put up fly screens.

Screens do not need to be expensive to be effective. In fact, in many in stances a window can be screened per fectly with mosquito netting for 15 cents, while a 35-cent ill-fitting exten* ;..ion screen will let the flies come in by the hundreds.

Under these we lounged away the day in luxurious indolence, musing, with halt shut eyes, upon the ^ (||ui(^. ocean... The night was scarcely; le'^ beautiful than the day, the ris- ins moon sent a quivering column of silver along the undulating surface of the deep, and gradually climbing the heaven, it lit up oer towering topsails and swelling mainsails, and spread a pale, mysterious light around. As our ship made her whispering way through this dreamy wcrld of waters every boisterous sound on board was. charm- /ed to silence, and the low whistle, or j drowsy sontr of a sailor from the fore castle, or the tingling of a guitar, and the soft warbling of a woman’s voice froni the quarter deck, seemed to derive a wltchihg Viielody from the scene and reported' td be i hour; ^ * with the inside shades or ^inds.

Back in their mountain homes they were feared by pony, cowardly county officials; their “influence” played a big part in politics, just as fear of -their violence gave them right of way. Their early aggressions had I been unchecked by faithless officials— an old story in every community where the law is held in comtempt—until they had come to believe they cou’d actually successfully defy law. But when the spirit of the Law was aroused, the lawless were as leaves in a temptest.

Riflemen sur rounded the court house, and had their been danger of every mountaineer of every mountain in the Virginians and CaroMnians coming to their rescue the Law could have called to its support ten riflemen for every one of them. Numbers of the murderers were con victed, in differen degrees, and on Friday two of them, Floyd Allen and his son, Clande, after their attorneys had made a futile attempt to jo'Jcery with the pardoning power of Viiginia, went to their death. The son was calm, the father, so fiercely desperate but a while ago, broken, tearful and praying. And no wonder! He was physicially brave; he had faced death before in the form with which it was familiar, and one may believe his agony of mind on the day of execution was not for himself. He realized that in following his leadership his whole boastful family was destroyed, those whp have escaped the electric chair and the penitentiary being cruished, ruined and the name forever stained.— Columbia State,
