Vol. 4 MEBANE, N.C., THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 20 1913 No 97 Chapel Hill News The suggestion ndvancei by Acting }>resident Edward K. Graham ot the University that the good roads piocla- ination of Governor Craig of this year bo cliungeci to an annual observance of a Civic Service week is gaining wide- ^pr lul attentio'', and the press of the SUle according the idea a hearty itvognition. The original suggestion, as otfered by Acting President Graham ill the course of an address at the Kural Life Meetinjys in Charlotte, proposed that November 3 to 7 be set aside by the Governor for the holding of conferences in each county in the State for the common good. The exhibition of the products of the county; the ciiscovery and discussion of the facts of county life, and otherwise s.,me definite civic service be under taken, is included by the proposal lor the Civic Service Week in the generi.1 cclk-me of the program. Hv direct taxation the negroes of North Corolina do not pay their propor tional part of the levey for educational purposes, was the conclusion reached bv Dr. H. W. Chase, professor of th^.* philosophy of education, in the course of a lecture to the student body of the University on the topic, ‘‘Negro Life in the South." The University pro fessor based his conclusion on figures contained in the report of the State Superintendent of public instruction. It is only through 'lihe sources of penalties, fines and taxes of a similar nature imposed by the towns and counties that the negro approximately pays his share of the levy for educa tional funds. lhe North Carolina geological and econoraical survey issues a bulletin calling aaention to the growth of work of draining swamps and overflowed lands in the State within the past few years.

C. Is Tammany Democratic? Richmond Virginian. Stuart G. Gibboney, writing in the New York newspapers of last Sunday, and quo*:ed by the Lynchburg New?, of Tuesday, maintains that Tammany Hall is not & Democratic organization and that it will attack openly when it dares and in the dark when it does not dare, the Democratic administration at Washington or elsewhere. Mr. 6ibboney wearies of the constant reiteration that Democrats must support the Tam many ticket if tli^y wish to be “regular’^ and puts forward evidence that Tammay is not only not the Dem ocratic party in New York, but that its leaders are not even supporters of the Democratic party, when it serves their puipose to oppose, Mr. Gibboney writes that his attention was “called to a circular which is being sent out to cobred voters by Tammany Hall urging them to support Mr. McCall henish and inhuman policy of President Wilson and Mr. Mitchel. “It is stated in this circular that although Mitchel was born and edu cated in New York, his father, Capt. James Mitchel, and his uncles fouq^ht in the Confederate army.’^ This is what causes him to sympathize with the traitorous. un-American, heath enism and inhuman policy of President Wilson in his efforts to “segregate, degrade and dismiss colored federal employes,’^ Here is an attack, vicious and des picable, upon the national Democratic leadei s and one not calculated to con vince Southern Democrats that the or ganization so emphatically repudiated at the polls Tuesday is worthy of tneir enthusiastic support. The Virginian is a Democratic news paper and naturally wisnes to see the Democratic party win, but it can not subscribe to any organization which libels a man because his father was a Confederate soldier, and denounces a Southern man Democratic president as a traitor because he does not believe in social equality of the races. The Anti-Toxin Gouge. (From a Bulletin by the State Board of Health.) A recent letter to the State Board of Health from a citizen of North Carolina seated that she paid her druggist $15 for 10,000 units of diphtheria anti toxin for her sick child. There is no longer any reason why anyone should pay such exorbitant prices. The State Loboratory of Hygiene long ago made a contract with a reliable manufacturer for the sale of the anti-toxin in this State at drug stores in the various localities at reasonable rates. One thousand units may be bought for 50 cents, 3,000 for $1 35, 5,000 for $195. Consequently 'the 10,000 units in this case should have been obtained for about $3.90 instead of $15.

The stock of goods and fixtures will be offered separately and in different combinotions and then as a whole, the way bringing the most money will be reported for confirmation* Terms of sale, cash; ten per cent of amount bid to be paid upon day of sale balance upon confirmation, sale subject to confirmation by the Court. This 13th day of November, 1913. Alamance Loan & Trust Company Receiver Holmes-Warren Co, No Cause For Sorrow. Louisville Evening Pos*. The New York Mail, in dolorous mood, inquires: “What is the matter with the preacl*er? Have they lost their fire, their inspiration, their grip on the people?" This comes from a newspaper, but it happens just as frequently that some pessimistic individual says that all newspapers are poor ard unrelia ble as that the ministers are not doing as well as cuuld be expected. ^ Similarly we hear gloomy individu als say 1 hat alt doctors are qu&cks and all lawyers pettifoggers and all union men anarchists and all employers rob bers All of this is clap-trap. Two gen erations ago the average minister wai not only a much better educated man than th ; average man in the pews, but frequently he was’so much better edu cated and eo much more intelligent that the minister had a deserved but temporary ascendancy. There has been a great advance in education, and to day in every church there are many men just as well educated and just as well informed as the minister in the pulpit.. That is no cause for sor row, nor is it, any proof that the min istry is going back. The ministry is holdini? its own; probably more than holding its own. The influence ef the church is ever wiJening. Listen Now Will You There are good and honest men in this world, and then there are some who are not so good. Recently a num ber of good substantial farmers have called at the Leader Office andpaid their subscription. In some instances paid two and three dollars, and then there are others who are amply able to pay who owe us, and to whom we have sent bills, that seems to pay no atten tion. Is it right, is it honest? C^e QP and settle your subscription and have your name appear on the honor roll, and you will feel better about it. What Of It.

Theie is no other problem upon which so many people assume to speak by ‘authority. Another reason why financial leifisla- tion is difficult is found in the fact that the great banking interest is fairly well satisfied with things as they are. It w»ll approve of no change that it does ^(?t dictate.. If it cannot have a central Dank licensed by law, it prefers to keep the rank growth of an evil system that it now has--a central bank in fact but not as yet in name. To preserve this institution nothing has been found more useful than the quarrels of the people’s representatives, their pride of opinion, their unwilling ness to compromise, and the many violent and irrational measures which such conditions necessaiily produce While our millions of dogmatic finan ciers dispute and fight, the few pro fessionals keep ail the privileges that they have gained and rea^h out for more. The first Bank of the United States had a capital of $10,000,000; the second, $35,000,000. These banks were con sidered so powerful, they were ad ministered with such favoritism and they were so offensive in their political relations that the Democratic party for more than a .generation waged war upon the very idea of a central bank and made it hateful forever. Yet without public approval or act pf Congress we have to-day what amounts to a central bank so much greater than either Bank of the United '^tates as to make those creations of our early monopolists look like toys by comnarison. While frenzied political financiers in Washington wrangle over the details of a Banking and Currency bill, the greatest concentration of banking energy ever known goes blithely along, and through its spokesmen introduces new intentions calculated to defeat action of,any J:ird. The centrrl bank already in operation is composed of five institutions owned and controlled by a compact and highly sympathetic Morgan-Rockefeller group. J. P. Morgan & Co., the First National Bank, the Guaranty Trust Company, the Bankers’ Trust Company and the National City Bank have 118 interlocking directors in thirty-four ■banks and trust companies, with resources of $2,679,000,000 and total depijsits of $1,983,000,000.—New Yoik World. At last some of the people of Meb ane wholike that kind of thing have got a real live fragrant scandal to gossip atout. Some of the old mongers were put to it so hard here at one time that they sought to invent every thing that was dirty, and low, to repeat about the innocent, and after that played out they hired some *of their favorite thugs to attack people on the streets. Not A Sentimentalist. Some of the papers of the State have been having more -or less to say about the " supposed attitude toward Congressman Kitchin of Senator Sim mons. It grew out of a recent leport from Washington in which it was in timated that the. Senator would work for Mr. Hitehin. As a matter of fact, Senator Simmops’ attitude has not been chanjg^ in the slightest from that which was indicated in The Observer a year age. Senator Simmons at that time said he did not intend to antago nize Mr* Kitchin or hold up his appoint ments, that he would treat him with the same courtesy he extended to his colleague^ jlHg^eraL While that was the case,' senator Simmons did no| ^ticipate any contingency by which he would be called on to take off his coat and work for the North Carolina Congressman. Mr, Simmons has been conducting'fcimsetf in this matter “four square;” and has made no display of the sentlita/sntalism that has been attributed to him.—Charlotte Observer We are crinsternated. Col. Joe Reec of The Greensboro Record has “jined” the Salvation Army. We did not know it when' we suggested him as a mem ber of •thtf' operatic board of inspe ction. What bothers us is, what is the Colonel gbiitg to do in the future with that front row head he wears? He loses little who loses wealth; He loses much who loses health; Who loses courage loses all. —J. T, Trowbridge. The South’s Petroleum. The Charlotte Observer is no doubt justified in thinking that the vast ma jority of its readers will be surprised to know that the Southern States last year produced approximately 85,000,000 barrels of petroleum. The figures are, most probably, a re>^lation to the country generally. The production by States, as given by the Manufacturers’ Record, is: Oklahoma, 52,000,000 bar rels: West Virginia, 11,800,000; Texas. 10,500,000; Louisiana; 10,000,000, and Kentucky, 500,000. The truth is that neither the country at large nor the South itself has any correct apprecia tion of the natural wealth of this section or of the extent to which this wealth is being developed.

Tobacco Crop May Fall Short of Estimate The tobacco crop in this section, it was said will fall short of the first estimates. Kinston so far has sold around 11,000,000 pounds,and LaGrange about 3,000,000. The quality of the weed handled now is decreasing daily, and prices are gradually increasing, facts that are taken as conclusive evi dence that nearly all of the crop is in The \verage price per pound had been slightly more than 18 cents.

We have seen no southern paper, save the Houston Post, which has shed any tears over the recent smashing defeat administered to Tammany, and our Texas contemporary even has con fined its sorrowing to the funny section in which Col. George Bailey disports himself. Every other of our exchanges from this section, no matter how “regular” it claims to be, rejoices that the corrupt and criminal aggre gation masquerading as democratic organization has been thrown out of povrer, and nearly all of these papers are fervent in the hope that the de thronement is permanent. Perhaps eyen the Houston Post may realize to what depths Murphy and his gang are capable of descending when it is shown the vile appeal made to colored voters during the closing hours of the recent campaign in Gotham. This appeal was sent out directly from Tam many Hall in an effort to win votes for McCall, and set forth that “although Mitchel was born and educated in New York, his father, Capt. James Mitchel, and his uncles fought in the Confederate army.” This, the circular continues, is what causes him “to sympathize with the traitorous, unamerican, hec- thenish. and inhuman policy of Presi dent Wilson in his efforts to segregate, degrade, and dismiss colored federal employes.”-- Nashville Tennesseean.
