When you have told the tax payers . this without juggling, then will you please tell them how much the Republicans spent upon these same roads before the highway commission took charge of them. The News says the present Democratic board has loaned out $4,275 from the sinking fund. Will you please tell the tax payers upon the sdfcond thought, if this is true, and i in order that they may know you are not juggling please give the full name of each borrower and the date and amount bor­rowed. Nothing less will satisfy the people. Now in conclusion let’s sum up and see just what the present Democratic board has spent.

If everybody would heed his ad‘f vice we would have less blind t^ i gers and better law enf orcement.: ', <' In the opinion of the writer, h^ !> is in error as regards the oats|jt' -;! which he supposes, every nia|fc;: takes before he is allowed to * his vote. Mr. Davis says thaf^;. >efore any one is allowed to vot$(,; that he takes an oath to support1 • he constitution and that the state %

prohibition law is a part of the^ ! cor-stitution, therefore every man ;i is in honor bound to gi ve all the?:; « information that he may posse# regarding the illegal sale of w cey. But it is too often the case;:' that Democratic politician, in their zeal to carry elections induce Democratic registrars to register boys who are not of legal age, the oath being omitted, or if giv­en at all; the boy is given to un­derstand that the oath is a mere matter of form anyway and that it really makes no difference. In this way the young man is indue- ed to perjure himself, from the very beginning of citizenship. Is. it any winder then that in after yeafs this same man should say that he is morally bound not. to*.. furnish evidence in regard to the - making and sale of whiskey.

If Mr. Davis and his associates. will use some of thei^ t, talents in . correcting! this' evil, ‘ it will go a long ways towards making the average naan regard his oath* more sacredly, and to make the laws of the country more easily enforced. Just why Mr. Davis should have selected Burlington as a desirable field for such a lec­ture at this time is a problem for the wise acres. We pass it up to our esteemed contemporary, the [Burlington News.

Boy Makes a Long Trip.

Clay Lawrence, 5 years old, left Chicago a few days ago on the Sante Fe road on the last stage of a 6000-mile trip alone from Glasgow Scotland; to Los Angeles. The little fellow was met in Chicago by his uncle, George T. Pierce who paid the expenses of the journey.

“Some one has to help me dress in the morning,” said the little boy, “A lady did it on the ship and she put me to bed every night too. An old gentleman took care train from New York.”

A tag tied to his jacket carries his name and destination.

In the first place, the in- gtinct of fair play in Americans — though the quality is supposed to be peculiarly Brith—would not permit the mobbing of a political opponent who was depending his public course in a public speech. In the second place, if there were any chance of such an ill-natured and cowardly manifestation to­ward an official of the govern­ment the police would take meas­ures to prevent it.

Please Remove Your Hair.

New York Times.

The big hats of the women were had enough, in fact, are still bad enough, to account for if not justify masculine profanity. But the vaxation of the male mind, and much physicial dis­comfort to the obviously weaker and lesser sex, is caused by one of the prevailing modes of dis­arranging and destroying the beauty of woman's hair. Some women have always known how to obstruct the view of the stage or platform of persons siting be­hind them without wearing Mts. Plumes and aigrettes serve this purpose admirably. But lately and equivalent of the towering coiffures of the early Georgian epoch has appeared. A high and broad frame 'or box is placed in the offender’s head, and over this is drawn much of her own hair and more of some other peo­ple’s who has no further use for it. This is elaborately puffed and otherwise aggravated, deck- ed with pins and combs, and ser ved as a piece de resistance.

Resistance, indeed, seems to be useless. The bead is in front of you, and when you move your head to get a view of the pro­ceedings the head moves too, keeping always in the line of vision. You crane your neck, and the structure in front of you rises the same instant. Y<?ur case is hopeless.

important News.

News of importance is being sent out from Washington by cor­respondents of the Democratic press of the state of North Caro­lina. Important, not because it comes from Washington, nor be­cause of its truthfulness. Im­portant because it betrays the weakness and the lack of an is­sue in National politics to present to the voters of the state and to discuss before the public by the Democratic party. Besides it confirms that trite old saying, that one should go abroad to learn the news at home. The item of news in question is contained in the statement that there is in process of formation in the Re­publican party in the state of North Carolina an anti Taft move­ment, the object of which is to prevent the renomination of Pres­ident Taft at the next National Republican convention. This bit of information is news to the Re­publicans of the state. The statement is predicated upon the assumption that the Republicans of the “Old North State” are not satisfied with the dispensation of the Federal patronage by Mr. Taft.

So far as our information ex­tends, the Republicans of North Carolina, or elsewhere, are losing no sleep over the distribution of the Federal offices at the disposal of the President. The holding of Federal offices by the Republicans in North Carolina has heretofore proved an element of weakness, rather than a source of strength, from the fact that it has retired from activity in politics some of the brightest intellects in the party. Moreover, Republicans fight hardest when separated from the flesh pots and they are

get a ieft for the Democrats to fight and scramble over.

To see and to have the great protective tariff policies of the Republican party inaugurated and put in force—by and through the means of which the wheels of commerce are made to revolve and the spindles of the cotton mills whirr—is glory enough for them. Then again the demand for labor is so great and the scale of wages so high that in some sections of the state Federal of­fices actually go a begging.

Our opponents—the Democrats — are welcome to all the comfort they can get out of any belief they may entertain in an anti-

j Taft movement in the Republi­can party in the state. The time for holding the next National Re­publican Convention is yet a great way off, too far off for forecasting, or discussing the possibilities of that convention. However, let it name whom it may as the candidate of the par­ty, we are safe in saying that there will be no departure from the time honored doctrine of the party of protection for American industries and American labor.

bringing the places that handle stuff upon a higher plane. The following from our esteemed con­temporary, The Greensboro Daily Record is timely and shows to what extent the business has grown in the ‘‘Old Dominion.”

“No wonder Virginia opposes prohibition. The liquor traffic is a paying thing. Just preceding the holidays the shipments from Richmond alone were said to av­erage 45,000 gallons a day. This was going some. It is shown by the internal revenue bureau, too, that more liquor was made and the tax paid on it than for some years, the increase in the past six months being about as much as the entire receipts for the pre­vious year.”

“PITTSBURGH PERFECT”

The Democrats formally opened the county campaign February 2 through their “orgin,” the Bur­lington News. We presume that they are going upon the theory, that ‘‘the early bird catches the worm.” But that depends upon whether the bird gets out before the worm does. In this case we are inclined to think they will miss the worm.

Attention Sunday School Workers*

At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Alamance coun ­ty Sunday School Association held in Burlington, Feb. 7th 1910 it was decided to hold the next conven­tion at Cross Roads Presbyterian church on Saturday and Sunday April 2nd and 3rd 1910. This Is a change of the dates selected at the last county convention and is made on account of Easter’s fail­ing on the last Sabbath in March, the date fomerly chosen. A com­mittee is now preparing the pro­gram for the convention. The amount asked for State and Coun­ty work as an apportionment is three cents for member for the enrollment except those in the Honor Department and Cradle roll. Every school is earnestly urged to contribute to the organis­ed work both by giving money and sending delegates to the con ­vention, where it is possible let the township hold conventions be­fore the county conventions espe­cially those townships that have held no con ventions since the last State convention was held. There are at least three ways of helping in religious work, viz: (1) Talk it up, (2) Pray it up, and (3) Pay it up. Try this my brother, m your school, try it in the county and state work.

The feed barn of Mr. W. F, Madren of Altamahaw was burn­ed last Wednesday night together with a lot of feed. Two valuable cows were also burned in the barn, Mr. Modren rescued his horse from the flames but the horse was right badly burned be­fore it could be gotten out. The loss is quite heavy on Mr. Madren who is a prominent young farmer of that section, there was no in­surance, so far as learned. The origin of the fire is unknown.

It is good news that the jury of the federal court in Toledo, O. has returned a verdict of guilty against a dozen Sicilians of a Black Hand order, and that Judge Taylor sentenced one to 16 years, two to 10 years each, one to six years, two each to four years and the rest to two years' imprison­ment. These men lived in Marion, Columbus, Denison, Bellefon- taine, Mead ville, Pittsburg and Cincinnati. Their trial for con­spiracy and use of the United States mail in furtherance of the same, lasted foi» 11 days and was bitterly fought.

But one choice lies before Con­gress and the greater industrial combinations of the country, either the passage of a general federal corporation act. such as

sident Taft proposes, bringing deral supervision, or a continu­

ance of the suits and prosecution under the Sherman anti-trust act, which have disturbed business for five years past.

The Sherman antitrust act can­not ■■•be repealed. It cannot be a nended. It will stay on the statue books. It must be enforc­ed President Taft finds it as impossible as did President Koosevelt, to persuade Congress to repeal this act, to remodel it, to .except any combinations from it or in any way to weaken its provisions, Neither Senate nor House dare do this. The anti­trust act of 1890 remains and will; remain. It is the permanent policy of the American people.

The only alternative is legisla­tion which by introducing close federal svervision will remove the evils of monopoly and the smnipulation of price which put the antitrust act on the statute book and keeps it there. If legis- lation giving this supervision through a federal corporation act is not passed, one unavailing prosecution after another will continue to deal with evils no prosecutions can remove and only federal supervision can prevent.

Dr. Robert B. Lawson will coach the University of North Carolina Baseball Team this spring. As an undergraduate and as a medical student here he was a member of the Varsity base­ball team and a substitute on the football team. His remarkable pitching for three consecutive years placed Carolina among the front rank of American Colleges, During these three years, '08, ’09 arid J10, Carolina held the cham­pionship; ties Harvard and de­feated Princeton, Amherst, Dart­mouth, Vermont, Lafayette, Le­high, Brown, and Carroll. Of the fifty games he pitched for Carolina, he lost only one. After leaving here Lawson pitched in both the American and National Leagues. He is a doctor of medicine with hospital experi­ence and for the last six years has been director of the Uni­versity Gymnasium.

Coach Lawson thinks the pros­pects the brightest for many seasons. Among the most prom­ising candidates are Stewart (cap­tain), Hearn, Hodgepeth, Hamil­ton, Duncan, Williams, F., Arm­strong, Buie, Pool, S.wink, Biv- ons, Hackney, < Fountain and Lyon. Stewart, Nedgepath, Hamilton, Hackney, Duncan, Armstrong and Lyon were mem­bers of last spring's Varsity.
