Mr. Vance Cates is right sick wo are sorry to report and it Is thought he has typhoid fever. His brother Mr. M. C.

Mrs. Dodson had not been married a year when the grim reaper claimed his reward, and during this time she and her husband had been making their home with her father and mother.

While the new tariff bill, taken as a whole, became the law of the land im mediately upon the signing of the measure by President Wilson, there are a few items which do not become effective until specific dates in the future. The two principal exceptiors are Schedule K. relating to wool and its manufacturers, and Schedule E. dealing with sugar, molasses and their manufacturers. The first will go into effect on January 1, 1914, until which time the old rates under tlie Payne- AMrich law will remaih^ih force. With the exception of a twenty-fiva per reduction in the duty on sugar cane, which goes into effect immediately, provision is made for retention of the existing Payne Aldrich rates under Schedule E. until March 1, 1914. B'rom that time until May 1, 1916, duties about twenty-five per cent, lower will be levied. Thereafter everything un der this schedule, with the exception of saccharine’ candy and confection, will go on the free list.—Va. Pilot. Tobacco to Kill Germs Cholera Mr. C. G Cates who spent the summer with his sister Mrs A. A. Perry and returned to Texas his adopted State about two months ago died there last Sunday morning Oct. 5th. Mr. Cates was a graauate of the State University ot th^ class of 1888 and spent the first few years after com pleting his education teaching in this State, then he went to Texas where he has been engaged in his chosen profession ever since until his sickness Problem of The Debutante' ^ Gates was fifty i four years of age, a censecrated Christian gentleman, and leaves a wife, twelve brothers and sisters and a host of other relatives, and nurrberless friends in this State and Texas whom he had helped to train for the rugged path of of life, and these will honor his memory in the future years. No one can compute the worth of his life, and while he was not rioh in this worlds goods he had led many boys and girls into a broader and nobler life and in that day of days when we must render an aceount of the deeds done in the body we trulv believe that great balance will be to his credit. Quite Plain, (Milwaukee Leader.) It seems that Mr. Roosevelt is un able to fathom the purpose and design of Jeffersonian democracy. He has delved into Mr. Wilson’s magazine con fesses that he has ‘'patiently and sin cerely sought to find out what Mr. Wilson means by the new freedom.” and that he is in doubt '‘whether it has any meaning at all.” We are surprised that Mr. Roosevelt should find the meaning of the new freedom means opportunity— oppor- runity to the industrious and enter prising who have rot made their pile, to obtain a sufficiency without having to pay tribute to a trust. Durin|f' the cholera epidemic in Ham- burjif. Professor Wenck, the Im perial Int^titute of Berlin, made the discovery that tobacco was fatal to the germs of that dread disease. This disco’^ery of so simple a method of fighting the germs of cholera has been regarded as of great importance. First it was noticed that many of the employes of a great cigar factory in Hamburg had been exposed to the disease which had then become epidemic in that city, but that not a single emiflJye was attacked. This led to various experiments. In the first experiment a cigar was soaked in water containing about 2,000,- 000 cholera bacilli to the cubic inch and within twenty-four hours every one of the microbes had died. The cigars made in the Hamburg factory by workmen who had been exposed to the cholera were examined, and not one of them contained a live cholera germ, although some of them showed traces under microscopic inspec tion of the germs that had been killed by the tobacco. Not only the tobacco itself was found to be deadly to cholera germs, but merely the smoke of the tobacco. Professor Wenck made experiments and found that cholera germs are destroyed in from half an hour to two hours in the smoke of Brazil, Sumatra and Havana tobacco. Probably the most startling experi ment was that of tracing cholera germs in saliva from the human mouth. Tobacco smoke killed these germs within five mmutes. follie;- fri.'n^!- of ti- If the '30;-. thii'iL nster i tr> I-,-:-' U.M'fil. rri!.:;' tht- "q ; ■ w. . sail sincerities, of false ■r ! true counsellors.

Rana Gold Industry (Washington Herald.) The economic value of "the South African gold industry and the conses- quences to the world at large, should a strike ever close the mines for any length of time, are difiicult to estimate. Last year, according to the London Chronicle, almost 38,000,000 pounds sterling worth of gold was taken out of the mines of the “Witwatersrand. ” A large part ol this vast sum re mained in the country to be used to pay the wages of the 23,000 Europeans emploved in the mines and of the al most 200,000 natives. The recent industrial upheaval in the “Rand” has called more attention to the “Reef” that supplied the whole world with the greater part of its gold, because the money centers of Europe openly feared that even a temporary suspension of work in South Africa wou d paralyze the world’s finances. But, fortunately, this has been averted by the speedy termination ot the strike. Negro Man and His Wife in a Cotton-Hcking Match (From The Wadesboro Ansonian.) Here’s a cotton-picking record that will be hard to beat. One day last week Pines Bennett, colored, who lives on R. J. Beverly’s place in Gulledge Township, ‘ took a notion” he could pick more cotton in a day than his wife could pick. So they “raced” and th&^result was 427 for Pines and 447 f r his wife. The wife, in addition cared for her three-montes-old baby and cooked two meals during the day. Pines is a good farmer and expects to make 11 bales of cotton and 100 bushels of corn with the assistance of \ that industrious wife and one mule.

Lavine Bros. Opposite Ward Hotel Burlington, N. C. Phone No. 505. Murderer Given Two Years' Grace. Greece possesses a curious criminal law. A person sentenced to death there waits two years before the ^e- cution of the sentence. (From Wyoming Stockman-Farmer.) Alfalfa is recognized as an ideal plant for fertilizing purp ses. It is not only a deep but a very profuse rooter, so that when the top has been killed by the plowing under process, there follows the decay, not only of the material that has been plowed under, but a network of roots aid rootlets that lie beneath the surface at varying depths, from an inch to a dozen feet. This decay of roof material has an other very beneficial effect upon the soil. It honeycombs the entire mass by the falling away of fiber, leaving the ground lightened up and in fine shape for tillage. The Observer had always thought the Wall Street cow which Senator Tillman has had printed in The Con gressional Record was originated by some genius who gave it to Senator Vance, and to that extent it was Vance's cow. Certain it is that in one particular campaign it was the North Carolina Senator’s big asset, just as the red-legged grasshopper was in the campaign of 1876.-Charlotte Observer, “Ask Me No Questions’’ (From the Atlantic Monthly.) There is an old refrain which runs *‘Ask me no questions. I’ll tell you no lies.” 1 am inclined to think it is full of social philosophy. Most of us, probably, have put up our hardest fights for veracity on oc casions when questions have been asked us that never should have been asked. “Refuse to answer, ” says the ghost of that extinct Puritan whom we have evoked. An absurd counsel; for as we all know to most of these questions no answer is the most ex plicit answer of all. If the Devil has given you wit ^enough, you may con trive to keep the letter of the com mandment. But usually that does not happen. I dare say many moralists will not agree with me; but I hold that a question put by some one •vho has no right from any point of view to the mformation demanded, deserves no truth. , If a casual gossip asked me whether my unmarried great-aunt lived beyond her means, 1 should feel justified in saying that she did not, though it might be the private family scandal that she did. There are inquiries which aie a sort of moral buglary. E SPEED REGOliD Speed Possibilities of Aero plane Baffle the Imagi nation, Regardless of the divergence of opinion relative to the practicability of the aeroplane for pleasure or com mercial purposes or for warfare, there can be no question as to itspossibiliuee. The wonderful record of Maurice Prevost, who a^’eraged 124.80 miles per hour in the recent 124.28 mile interna tional cup race at Rheims, France, brings speed to a point that baffles the imagination. To travel at the rate of t>etter than two miles per minute is an experience that is accorded to few and desired by even fewer. When Wilbur Wright made the first flight in a motor- driven aeroplane at Kitty Hawk, Del., on December 17, 1903, it was doubtful if he ever conceived of such a future for the aeroplane. In his initial journey through the atmosphere Wright traveled S52 feet in a tritle less than one minute giving his machine a sp^ed of approxi mately a mile in six minutes. Yet within ten years the speed of the aeroplane has been increased more than one thousand per cent. On land or water, ^here is no record of sustained speed over a course of sim ilar length that can compare with Pre vost’s time of 50 minutes 43 3-5 sec onds for the 124.28 miles covered. The one hundred mile automobile record is 72 minutes 45 1-5 seconds; motorcyle 72 minutes 24 2-5 seconds. In the realms of that motorboat there is nothing that affords even a basis of comparison.

Criminals Oark-Eyed. Over 7fi per cent of the world's bigamists have had brown eyes. .That Is an amazing fact. *‘I can tell a crim inal by his eyes," said Vidocq, the famous French detective, and in doz ens of cases he stated that his su^ picions were first aroused by seeing the eyes of the guilty person. He add ed that it was a remarkable fact that the majority of criminals, with the one exception of murderers, are dark* eyed. Could Trnst Him (Frjm Collier’s.) A man got into a cab at the Rich mond Railway station and said: “Drive me to a haberdasher’s.” “Yaassuh,” said the driver, whip ped up his horse, and drove a block; then, leaning over to address his pas senger, said: “Scuse me, boss, but whar d’you say you wanter go?” “To. a haberdasher’s.” “Yaas suh; yaas &uh.” After another block there was the same perfornrance: “Scuse me boss but whar d’you say you wanter go?” “To a haberdasher’s,” was the im patient reply. Then came the final appeal; “Now, look-a-here, boss; I be’n dri’vin’ in dis town twenty year, an’ I ain’t never given nobody away yit. Now you can tell dis nigger whar’tis you wanter go.” He who gives himself airs of impor tance, exhibits the credentfals of impe- tencfc.—>Lavater ‘ If I had the value of all the grass that goes to wast in Cleveland county one year I would retire with a comfort able fortue,” said a prominent man on the streets this week. We were speak ing about the promiscuous slaughter of young calves. A law should be enacted making it a misdemeanor for any one to slaughter or transport out of the country for slaughter any calves particulaily heifer calves, under 18 months old. Car after car load of young calves have been shipped away, to be killed and sold in the cities for veal, yet we have thousands of acres of land right here in Cleveland county growing up in weeds and grass on which these young calves could be raised at big profit, [t should be stopped and a law to this effect should be passed. Cleveland county is rapidly becoming one of the leading^dairy counties in the state. Our creameries are responsible for this. Cattle on the farm means cheaper beef, cheaper leather, ready 2ash all the year around from butter and milk, more richly fertilized Innds and more bountifulharvests. These calves may be scrub stock, but this kind of stock is better that none. Look at the advantage in good milk cows from $18 to $50 and $60 within the last ten years. Look at the advantages ir beef from 10 cents to 20 and 25 cents per pound. Look at the advance in shoes and other leather-made goods, all because of the scarcity uf cattle in the country. We believe our farmer friends will agree with us that this would be a good law. If you think so, tell your legisla tor.—Shelby Star. Held An Interesting /Meet ing in Mebane. The most interesting and success ful meeting the Mount Zion Baptist asso.:iation ever conducted came to a close Thursday afternoon at Mebane. All of the old officers of the association were re-elected and Yates church about one mile from Durham was selected as the next meeting place. The meeting from every standpoint was the best that has ever been held. The program was better, the delegation larger, the entertainment excellent and the in terest unexcelled. One of the most interesting features of the meeting of the association was the advance step of the delegation in promising to raise $1,600 for missionary work in the bounds of ths association This step on the part of the association came from the report of the executive board. There were several interesting fea tures connected with the meeting just closed. Rev. J. J Hurt, pastor of the First Baptist church of Durham, preached the introductory sermon, which was one of the best numbers on the entire program. Rev. W. Buck, of Burlington, will preach the introduc tory sermon next year. Dr. William Louis Poteat, president of Wake Forest college, delivered a powerful and interesting address Wednesday evening to the largest audience of the three days. Dr. J. D. Hufham, who is next to the oldest minister in active service in the bounds of the association, furn ished much pleasure to the delegates by his unusual store of good humor. A request was made to the associa tion by the Baptiit church of Wake Forest, N, C., that it raise $1,500 to assist in the erection of a $40,000 church in that town. The members of the church and the people of Wake Forest have raised $15,000 and expect the people of the state to raise the remainder. The association decided not to pledge the amount, but recommended that the churches in the bounds of the association help towards the cause. Report of excutive committee: We, your committee, beg leave to make the following report for the year ending September 30, 1913. At the beginning of the year ap propriations were made to five churches and two mission points as follows: Churches: EJdgemont, Lakewood, Bahama, Glencoe and Ossipee. Missions: West Burlington and Hope- dale. Work has been pushed at all these places with the exception of Ossipee, with gratifying results. The mission aries are men who love the cause and have proven it by their work. Better men would be hard to find. At Ossipee Brother J. A. Hackney labored for six months when he re signed the work and soon after a majority of the members moved away and those left dldn t seem interested enough to continue work, so your com mittee had no choice only to discontinue the work for the present. At West Burlington, we have Hocutt Memorial church, named in honor of the worthy laborer of G( d, Rev. John C. Hocutt, who labored so faithfully in our as‘«ociation for many years. We want to call attention to the work done at Glencoe and Hopedale, by Rev. Martin W. Buck, pastor at the Burlington church, who has given two Sunday afternoons each month to these places as well as week-day appoint ments, and as a result of his and Brother Morgan’s work forty-one have been baptized and two received by letter This is better than the most sanguine ever hoped for.
