Mrs. Douglas was ill tor only a very short time being stricken with paralysis about two hours prev ious to her death. Mrs. Douglas was born in 1860 and was therefore seventy-eight years of age. She was married in young 1 likely reach 600 or 700. womanhaod to Mr. Frank Douglas and j to this union five children were born ail of which survived except two.

It is the purposeof j the Leader to get 1 out a supplement in a few weeks giv- 1 ing a general wnte*up of the town of j Mebane, the photographs of its leading j men, also to give a history of their j business. We expect to give some of 1 the best views in town. Now this ex- I pense, trouble and time will be almost i gratis. We do not intend sending United ! this supplement to the subscribers of ! the Leader only, but we expect to I send them broadcast over the country. We do this for the advertisement of the tow'n and we believe that the good people of Mebane will be grateful for it. We believe that Mebane does offer The Civic League Stands For More Mebane and Better Mebane.

We can show our approval, not only by our att^ndence, but by cleaning up our homes, lots, and all other unsightly places in the tow’p. If we would all put our shoulders to th| wheel, there ts no reason why in the coming years we may not see our community-made so attractive that we ' president during two might make an annua’- display of it, met each one without ^and newspaper and magazine writers 'would come and tell to the woi Id how a little factory town had transformed into a place of beauty.

The record which he has made is with out parallel in the political annals of our country. At no former period have so many problems of such size and of so varied a charactei as confronted a years. He has hesitation, and solved them successfully by the simple ^ he means process of applying democratic princi- 1 pies to them. { His success has been phenomenal and ! the approval which he has w^on is well 1 nigh universal. His time has been! divided between gigantic domestic j questions, and titanic international difficulties--and he has proven etual to every emeigency. The cabinet which he summoned to his council table has been more tiian successful in meeting public expecta tions, while the senate and house have won the confidence and praise of the democratic party, and of a large per centage of the members of other parties j Surely the president will not be asked j to pause in his labors; surely the county will not be guilty to the dangerous experiment of changing tne leadership of the senat.e and the house. ^ To what opposition wo»ld Wk-* nation entrust tne government?

(From The Wall Street Journal'J A story of the war told with great glee in the streets of London is being repeated by returning American tour ists. Germany found a lively market for munitions of war in the early part i of this year among the militant Irish , outside of Ulster v/ho were moved to 1 arm themselves as a result of the armed opposition to Home Rule in the North. The German hope was that not only would England have dire trouble with Irish citizens in any event but that in a general European war the pugnacious Irishman would keep England's forces fully occupied at home. Therefore what greater service to the Fatherland to arm these Irish mcst as high. On the way to the j republican party reformed?

So habitual has become the tendency of some of the I republicans (not always the same ones) j to join the support of democratic bills j that one of the democrats has wittily j suggested that “The republicans ought j either to quit critizing the democrats ! or else quit voting for democratic 1 measures.” I It is only a few weeks more untd j election; let eyery reader of the The 1 Commoner busy himself with campaign j work from now until the polls are i closed. He should be sure to vote him- i self, and to keep the matter before his We are kindly asking the subscribers i neighbors. It is easier to bring a eral altitude of the republic. It must be remembered, however that Bolivia has also vast lowlands. On the east the land slopes down to some of the large tributaries of the Amazon, giv ing it every fruit of the tropics and the temperate zones. The country has i all altitudes, all climates and all sorts j of resources. It can produce eyery j crop known upon earth, and pro.npec- tively it is one (^f the richest lands of tne w^orld Subscribers Pay Up, Want You? Race Segregation as Seen by The Mebane Leader. '’larance Poe has for sometime beer agitating race segregation. Just what by this foolish notion, ov just how he could expect to make thi.. possible as he advocates it we cannot understand, and frankly w'e do not know whether he understaivjs it or not. If we know^ anything about what segregation means it is the State sotting apart or donating a certain territory for the negroes just as the State has done in regard to the Indians in Roberson County. But now when you take into consideration of the number of negroes in North Carolina as compared with the Indians, you will find quite a difference in these two nu-mbers. He Claims that in certain sections in North Carolina (and he is correct in this statement) that the lower element of negroes have not only become a nuisance to the people, but have become dangerous to the safety and welfare of its citizens and especially to our white women. Now there- should be something done. The people in these communities should rise up in their might and rid themselves of this undesirable element. Now coming to the folly of the race segregation, w^e take the great cotton belt in North Carolina, for instance, say Scotland, Richmond, and Roberson counties, we find that the fields aro cultivated largely by negroes, you can’t get the white labor. Now suppose we should have segregation, what Would these big farmers do? I say wc need race segregation, what we need most is better race discrimination. The negroes who give us most trouble, and are a menace to our security, is an element of the lower kind—Cocaine fiends and such a class as that. Let us say right here, that any negro w'ho is guilty of selling Cocaine to negroes ought to be put in [the penitentiary for a lifetime. We say that it is these doped negroes who commit most of the crimes. Poe says let us have segregation, yet at the same time he runs his hand down in his pocket clear up to his elbows and exclaims “More money to educate the negro.” We guess, ho wants to get into the limelight something, and he thinks that wdll a good issue. Maybe it will. We not think that the to pay up their subscriptions to the Leader. If the war has effected you, it has certainly effected us. Then in face of the fact that the Leader has democratic voter to the polls than it is to convert a republican—therefore, get the vote out. But this not enough—the victory this fall ought to be overwhelming. Let on be do State of North fairs are held under the auspices of, Accordingly 250,-1 the Country liife Club, organized by 000 German rifles were slipped into i Miss Reinhart, county superviser of gouthern Ireland with large stores of j complete settlement with Mr. Foy. rural schools The key note to the success of the home troubles to bear their part; Leader against Britain’s common enemy And j the Irish volunteers of North and! changed hands, it is very necessary | every democrat pledge himself to bring that we have all accounts settled in | at last one republican to the support order that we can make a full and ! >f the administration candidates. It is AI not likely that the majority in the Fair was the spirit of co-operation shown by the people of the community, and the products of farm, dairy and pantry showed that the people of Haw- flelds are up-to-date in the science of good living. A base-ball game between Fawfields and Mebane in the afternoon and other athletices made the day more enjoyable. The managers and teachers should be congratulated on giving the com munity this great day. „ I ^ , J J I senate or house'will turn on orffe vote, ammunition. To the consternation of I great many have already answered our i chances. A the Germans the Irish forgot their . appeal made in last week’s issue of | would never forgive himself May we not expect you South who have sworn to guard their shores against German aggression have ample supplies of German guns and catridges to repel any possible invader. And the irony of it all is that the bill of the german manufacturers has never been paid the probably, never will. Lying lips are abomination to the Lord; but they that deal truly are His delight.—Proverbs, xii:22. Subscribe to The Leader, if as a result of his negligence the majority in either senate or house should be lost. The people have been relieved of the buidens of a high tariff; they have seen a part of the load lifted from the backs of the masses and placed upon large incomes; they have witnessed a change in the currency laws which makes Carolina is going to expend millions of dollars in order that a very few people may be gratified. There ought to be. something done, but we do not think that Mr. Poe has struck on the right solution, or if he has he will hammer away for a long tims before he gets the people to con sent to donate a great tract of land for the negro. If we are going to colonize the negro that would be a problem for the United States Government to solve. The remedy as set forth is not feasible Goa has placed ro being in a barren soil; no one where he may not find the elements of immortal life; none, w'here* through perfect fidelity to its condition, ita woods may not reach out to em brace the earth, and • spread out .branches and leaves to heal and over-' I shadow it.—N.
