Might Get Shot It seems that after all Policeman Long had some trouble in getting rid of the merry-go around man. He had found Mebane such a sweet and juicy town Mr. Gibbs was not inclined to leave in accordance with the wishes of the officials. Mr. Long went to him Monday and told him it was de sired that he remove his hobby-horse machinery, and not operate it Monday night, Gibbs insisted that he should do so, threating the town with a suit in the event it souerht to prevent him, and telling M r. Long he expected to run that night irregardless of the consequence, warning Mr. Long that he had better be cireful in attemp ting to stop him, and if he came on his premises he might get shot, Mr. Long had just the mettle in him to meet such an immergency, and it was not long before Mr. Gibbs was willing to pull down his merry-go-around and seek another section. The people of Mebane feel very grateful over the riddance ot the thing They had gotten more than enough in the merry-go-around business. Mr. and Mrs. Dud Thompson spent Sunday in Mebane.

Mr. Editor, We infer from last weeks liCader that New York City does not hold all the “Thugs.” It seems there are some around Mebane that will strike down an unarmed man as well as on the “Bowery” in New York. “Pat.” Running time to Norfolk shortened— freight cars taken off express trains. Effective Sunday, August 24th the Norrolk Southern Railroad will put into effect a new schedule for the night passenger trains between Raleigh and Norfolk. The change will shorten the running time between the two points approximately forty-five minutes, The j most important feature of the new schedule will be that the train leaving Norfolk at 9:00 o’clock at night and also train leaving Raleigh at 9:30 p. m. for Norfolk will not have any freight cars in their make-up as has been the case heretofore. The night train from Norfolk will arrive 6:30 a. m. instead of 7:15 a. m. Passengers will be allowed to remain in sleeper until 7;30 a. m. so they will not be inconvenienced. The night train to Norfolk will leave Raleigh at 9:30 instead of 9:00 o’clock as at present. The day train will arrive Raleigh at 7:45 p. m. The Railway officials consider the eliminaton of ^he freight cars from the night express the most important part of the improved schedule. Beginning Sunday also the day trains between Raleigh and Norfolk will make a dinner stop of fifteen minutes at Edenton instead of stopping only ten minutes there as now. As restaurant is close I to the station passengers will be enabh d to enjoy a midday meal where now they have only time to snatch a sand wich. i?y I iS 10 BE DEPORIEO Will Sent BacK to Ver= mont Harry K. Thaw this weeK will be deported from Canada Wednesday afternoon or Thursday according to in formation obtained from an official of the Dominion immigration department. “He will be taken across the border into the state of Vermont. Instructions to such effect have already been sent to the immigration agents of Sher brooke,” said the official. “They are David Reynolds and T. B. Whitlan. Thaw is not to be discriminated against He i» to be treated just as hundreds of undersirable in the past have been handled by *he immigration authorities “There will be no c'^remony attached to his deportation. He will he taken back over the border and into Ver mont by the railroad that brought him into Canada. The law provides that the railroad shall transport him. It has done so in other cases and the authorities see no reason to make an exception in the case of Thaw. He can pay the railroad if he wants to but he does not have to The New York authorities asked Canada for for Thaw. They apparently understand that he will be sent to Vermont and the question will then be put up to New York and Vermont. Thaw is exceedingly interested in the movements of his wife, Evelyn Nesbit Thaw. He asked the reporter about her latest movements and where she was living, but showed no interest in her little son, Russel. The prisoner denied having sent his wife a telegram in which she was warned to take her name off the sign of the theatre in j which she is playing. In his quarters at the jail Thaw has the constant service of a stenographer to whom he dicates for several hours daily. His lawyers refuse to discuss his confliciting orders to them, con tending themselves by saying that “he is of great assistance to us.” Their number was increased lo six by the arrival of Attorney Harry Hir- schbert, of Newburg, N. Y, The five other lawyers are Canadians and all were seleoted on the advice of Geo. L. McLeish, a friend of the Thaw family, with particular reference to their poli tical affiliation. rHE GREAT STATE FAP.M At Bonnett’s Pond WOBLD’S IllLLEST Mebane Rfd. 1 Miss Mvrtle Moser of Burlington is visiting her sister Mrs. D.

Mr. Tates melons are as fine as grows, think Mrs. Tate works them is whv they grow so large. On the morning of August the 14 as the rays of ’.ay were just begin- ii g to Hf.-ht up the sky, a happy frowd of young people of Mebane in a cover ed wagvn, for Bonnett’s Bond, torty miles away. The young men of the town had planned this camping trip, thinking that the camp would not be complete without the girls, they in- the “girlies” to accompany them, chaperoned by Mrs. Jas. Cheek, The party consisted of Mi. and Mrs. Jas. Cheek, Mr. and Mrs. F. C Davis* Misses Leynette Swain, Etta Compton Mary Cooper, Clara Warren, Eula and Deane Graham, and Messrs Silas I Compton, Sam and Jack Thompson, 1 Glenn Scott, Sam Satterfield, Frank ^ I Warren, Percy Amick, Henry John ston, and the Holt. Congeniality prevailed through out the trip. The boys enjoyed the water, as swimming was the fsivorite sport Has 7300 Acres in It—Six Thousand Acres in Culti= vation=-WiII Make 100,000 Bushels of Ccrn. Mr. H. B. Varner, Chairman of the state prison board, made inspection j of^the state’s farm in Halifax county last week, and he was very much pleased with what he saw. He said this farm contains 7300 acres and that it is probably the finest farm in North Carolina. There are soniething like i 6,000 acres in cultivation There are i nine miles of dikes on the farm, sev- [ en and a half miles on the Roanoke river. These dikes are built to pre . .. ^ . . , « - , , ston, and the mascot “Master Tom vent the river from overflowing and! destroying the crops on the farm. They are 100 feet at the base and about 20 feet on top, from 30 to 40 feet high. Sometimes the rains be come so heavy and the river gets so high that it breaks throuah the dikes, j When it does, the crops are destroyed. Capt. C. N. Christian, a native of Stokes county, and Capt Rheam, of eastern North Carolina, are in charge of this farm. They are most excel lent farmers and they say that the prospects this are the finest they haye ever seen. They h ivo 2400 acres in corn, which will produce 100,000 bushels; they have 1800 acres in cotton, which will produce a bale to the acre; 350 acres in peanuts, which will produce from 40 to 50 bushels to the acre; and i 400 acres of cow peas and soja beans. There are on the farm 200 head of cattle; 3000 hdgs, 240 horses and mules; 1000 chickens, 150 turkeys, and about 2500 pigeons. There are 450 convicts doing t he work on the farm. Of course, it takes a considerable number of guards and overseers to look after these convicts. It is a little world all to itself and is a very interesting place to visit. No North Carolinian would regret spending the time and money sufficient to visit this wonderful farm and see these wonderful products. A Rainless Shore. (From The Providence Journal.) For 2,000 miles of coast, as more Americans than are at present in formed will doubtless discover as soon as the Panama Canal develops more neighborliness betwsen the North At lantic and the South Pacific, one need not carry an umbrella except to keep off the sun. In Peru, on the sea s,ide of the Andes, they build out of mud what seems to be magnificent marble palaces, and clapboard effects are popular also, though wood is worth its weight in gold. Stucco, a paint brush and a lively fancy serve for this stagey decoration, but there is not even a pretense of cultivating lawns, though that might be indulged, too, with the help of a pot of green paint. Rain enough would not fall in a generation to wash the green off the front yard, or the patio. That stretch of coast is one of the most remarkable of all nature’s dem onstrations of waterless desolation. It is an elongated Sahara. B'rom Co- quimbo, one-third of the length of Chile below the Peruvian border, to Quayaquil in Ecuador vegetation is unknown. An agreeable effeci is to relieve the equatorial heat along the coast and the s*ope of the Andes of humidity. for them, while boating brought much pleasure to the girls. The weather was ideal, only one little rain during the stay at the pond. The moon-light nights were lovely for a boat ride up the pond. Eaily in the morning, one could see the boats gliding up the pond to the lily bed which covtrcd about ten acres, and a -magnificent sight it was, to see the beautiful lillies and to get the fragrant odor as it was wafted to you, by the wind. The most important part of the trip was “grub” lime, and a funny sight it was, when the whistle sounded for j the meals, to see the boys and girls j scampering for a place at the table, ] and ray! how that crov/d did eat There j was always an abundance of good I things on the table, and Heny Johnston I Siid he could just eat those fine bifaciuts all day long if only Frank Davis would agree to stay by him, ano this crowd j did not forget to observe ^the Sabbath, for it was indeed a noble sight to see them arrayed in their Sunday clothes, marching to the Club House where they had been invited, lo gather with two ether camping parties, when it was learned that the Mebane camp had Bible quarterlies, and song books, preparing before leaving home to remember and bear in mind, God’s great command as it is given in the fourth commandment. The ten days came to a close only too rapidly, the merry party was reluctant to leave dear old Bonnetts. They resolved to return next year and spend at least two weeks. The crowd reached Mebane Aug. 22nd safe and sound; not a thing had happened on the trip to mar the pleasure of one, may that same crowd live to make many trips to Bornetts Pond. A girl KABRY K.

Reduction of Fortified Places Stubbornly Defen ded, Means Fearful Loss of Human Life. No details are yet available of the losses incurred in the reduction of Adrianople by the Balkan nations, but they are bound to be enormous.

But that v as because the French garrison surrendered quickly. The Escaped Convict “Extradition proceedings in Thaw case are now before court.
