STANDARD OIL COMBINE ORDERED T 0J1 S S 0 LV E

Washington, May 15. —The Standard Oil Company of New Jersey and its nineteen subsidia ry corporations were declared to­day by the Supreme Court of the United States to be a conspiracy and combination in restraint of trade. It also was held to be monopolizing interstate com­merce in violation of the Sher­man anti-trust law. The disso­lution of the combination was or­dered to take place within six months.

Thus ended the tremendous struggle of years on the part of the government to put down by authority of law a combination which it claimed was a menace to the industrial and economic ad­vancement of the entire country.

A t the same time the court in­terpreted the Shermar anti-trust law so as to limit its application to acts of “ undue” restraint of trade and not “ every” restraint of trade. It was on this point that the only discordant note was heard in the court. Justice Har­lan dissented, claiming that cases already decided by the court had determined once for all, that the word “ undue” or “ unreasona­ble” or similar words, were not in the statute. He declared t iat the reasoning of the court in ar­riving at its findings was in effect legislation which belonged in ev­ery instance to Congress and not to the courts.

Ever since the decree in this ease in the lower court, the Unit­ed Statts circuit court for the eastern district of Missouri, was announced, hope was expressed by the “ business world” that the law would be modified so as not to interfere with what was desig­nated as honest business. To­night that section of the opinion calling’ for the use of the “ rule of reason” in applying the law is regarded in many quarters as an answer to the prayer of the “ business world.”

The opinion of the court was announced by Chief Justice White. In printed form it con­tained more than twenty thou­sand words. For nearly an hour the Chief Justice discussed the case from the bench, going over most of the points in the printed opinion, but not once ref erring to it in order to refresh his memory. Before him sat a distinguished audience of the most famous men of the country. Senators and Representatives left thoir res­pective chambers in the capitol to listen to the epoch-making de­cision of the court.

WHO’S WHO, AND WHYMr. Editor:

Before we celebrate another anniversary of our National In­dependence, the children, teach­ers and people of Alamance Coun­ty, will be committed to the care, foresight, and wisdom of some person as County Superintendent of Public Instruction, for the next two years, a leader who will be instrumental in preserv­ing unto us and more perfectly developing that freedom our grizzly gray ancestors fought so valiantly to secure and maintain. The position to be fiilled by the County Board of Education, on the first Mondoy in July, is of greater importance and of more vital interest to the correct life of our future hope in boys and girls, than the filling of any oth­er place m our county, and when I make this sweeping statement, I am not unmindful of the various pastorates of our county, for this leader is commended to rise above sect, creed, doctrine and denominational strife, and serve all alike in preparing the boys and girls for the respective duties of life.

Therefore, the anxious, and alert thinkers of our county are thinking daily on this supreme question, supreme, because it is a question that lifts itself ia r a- hove party affiliations and ties' of Psecial friendship, hence, the men who are leading the rank and file of the great army of modern civilization, are thinking °£ the modern educator in his true

KICKED BY MULE AND IS IN ,PRECARIOUS CONDITION

Little Carney McAdams, son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter McAdams, of Haw River, was brought into the city last evening on the 10 o’clock train and carried to St. Leo’s hospital, suffering with a fractured skull. The little fellow, who is only 4 years old, was kick­ed by a mule late yesterday after­noon. Mr. McAdams had been out in the .field working and had returned home for supper. When he drove into the barnyard Mr. McAdams took little Carney out of the wa.gon andp set him on ia bale of hay. When the mule walked from the shafts he kick­ed the little fellow in the head.

His skull was badly fractured. After midnight last night physi­cians were still working to re­lieve him, but it was stated that his chances for recovery were not good.—Greensboro Daily News, 13th.

SELL BOOZE WHILE OOVERNOK SPEAKS

Statesville, May 12.—D. W. Boyer, of Eufola, and Count Hicks o£ Greensboro, white men, were tried before Justice King Wednesday for retailing. Boyer gave $200 bond for his appear­ance in court, but Hicks could not give bond and went to jail. The two men came to Statesville from Eufola Wednesday morn­ing and received four gallons of booze from the express office. They then went off in a wagon and poured the liquor ou£ into quart and pint bottles, returning to a vacant lot near the county jail with the bottles of booze in the wagon covered with a quilt. And while the Governor deliver­ed a Memorial day speech only a few paces away, and within view of the jail and courthouse, the two men are alleged to have disposed of several bottles of the booze.

SECRETJUtY OF WAS THROWS OP HIS JOBWashington, May 12.-- Secreta­

ry of War Dickerson resigned at 8 o’clock tonight and President Taft immediately appointed Hen­ry L. Stimson, of New York, Re­publican candidate for governor last November, in his place.

Secretary Dickerson issued a statement tonight to the effect that his private interests de­manded his retirement from the cabinet at this time. He is in­terested in the Bon Air Goal company, of Tennessee, which is now in financial difficulties, and he desires to give his entire at­tention to it.

New York, May 12.—Henry L. Stimsom was at his country home near Huntington, Long Island, when informed of his appoint­ment tonight.

“ I am very much gratified at this mark of confidence displayed in me by President Taft. The office is a great one, involving much hard work of importance to the whole country. 1 cannot tell now within a week of when I will be prepared to assume the duties of the office. The offer came to me unexpectedly and I must arrange my private affairs befcxa leaving for Washigton.

Mr. Stimson declined to dis­cuss the policies that he would be expected to pursue in respect to Mexico. He will see President Taft in this city next Sunday.

Asheville, May 11.—What may prove to be a fatal fight occurred last Tuesday night just off South Main street, when J. H. Stillwell, a white man and railroad employe of Old Fort, was knocked in the head and on the back with rocks, and later seriously, if not fatally, cut with knives. Buddie White­sides and Ed Proctor, two ne­groes, are now in jail, charged with the assault.

Stillwell cursed Whitesides while he was in a “ soft drink” establishment. Later in the night he started down South Main street and went into a vacant lot a few yards from the street, when Whitesides and Proctor made their appearance Proctor knocked Stillwell down with a rock and Whitesides jumped on the fallen man and cut him across the abdomen and other places about the body and left him to die.

Mr. Stillwell managed to crawl to a yard nearby and some one passing heard his groans. He was bleeding and exhausted. The police were notified and three men went on the case. One at-, tended the wounded man while the others went in search of the negroes. Stillwell was taken to the hospital, where it was found that he was almost disembowell­ed.

Whitesides was arrested a few hours after the cutting and Proc­tor was arrested next morning. It is thought that the police have sufficient evidence to convict trie negroes. There is a chance that Stillwell may recover. Stillwell’s pistol was found on Proctor when he was arrested. He had taken it from the wounded man.

MINISTERIAL STUDENT SUICIDES AT MARS HILLAsheville, .May 13.—Af^er bor­

rowing: a shot gun from merchant at MaLrs Hill, Archie Linley, 24 years of age, of Anderson, S. C., went to his room and blew out his brains at 2.30 o’clock this af­ternoon. Linley arrived at Mars Hill, 18 miles from this city, this morning and told various people there that he had come to spend the summer. He engaged a room at the residence of Mrs. Kate Woodrow, who was shopping in the town at the time of the trag­edy.

The deceased was a ministerial student, and it is thought that his mind had been affected by close study. He is survived by a moth­er, a sister and two brothers, one of whom is Dr. William Linley, now in the Philippine Isan&s.

ROCKYMOUNTBURGLAR BOUND OVER TO COURT

THE FORTUNE TELLER WORKED T IE WOMEN

Boston, May 11.—Prof. James G. Redfern, a palmist and for­tune teller, whom is alleged to have swindled scores of women throughout the country out of large sums of money, was arrest­ed m New York today for the Boston police. He is under in­dictment for the alleged swind­ling of Anna S. Taylor, in May 1909.

He had a palmistry office at 88 Boilston street and he used to en­ter a trance and advise his women clients in their love and business affairs. He is said to have desig­nated a certainhour of the night for his clients to dream of him, when he would be in a trance and advise them as to their affairs.

According to the police he is al­so accused of being a “ switch” man. He would induce women to place their money in bags and then he would switch the bags. He is wanted in a number of western cities on this charge.

Rocky JMount, May 11. —A con­viction for first degree burglary and probably an electrocution may result from a hearing in Re­corder’s court and from the evi­dence brought out this morning when a negro, who gave his name to the court as J. B. Little, was bound over to Nash criminal court for the charge of forcing1 an en­trance to the home of Mrs Bessie Proctor of the extreme end of South Church street and stealing therefrom a quantity of wearing apparel, a pistol, some money and a watch. The robbery occurred on Sunday night and it appeared from the evidence that the negro went into the house and took possession of things, sacking the house arid taking for his own use what he desired. A party, who returned to the house, upon the discovery that the house had been entered, there having* been no one in the house at the time the negro broke in, was fired upon by the negro with the pistol that was stolen.

The negro was taken-"last night by the police officers find; at the time of his arrest he had in his possession a quantity o': the goods stolen, the pistol, watch and a part of the money, and this prop­erty was identified in court this morning by the losers of the property. The negro seems to care little what the judgment of the court is, and it is kno wn that he has several times nerved road sentences with the Rocky Mount road, district and other road forces in this section of the State.

STATE OFFICERS ARE NOT DOING THEIR DUTY

3

Washington, D. C*, May 13.— Moonshining is flourishing to a greater extent in North Carolina than in most any other State in the Union according to Commis­sioner of Internal Revenue Royal E. Cabell, whe is a Virginian.

In a letter to a North Carolina Congressman, who was seeking information, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue said:

“ It is a matter of common knowledge that illicit manufact- ure and sale of distilled spirits is distressingly prevalent through-, out the greater portion of the State of N orth Carolina. The in­ternal revenue force is not very large in numbers. We have the largest force of officers assigned in the Asheville district than is appointed in any district in the United, States, and the records will show that a 1 surprisingly large number of illicit plants are captured every year.

The records, of course, would show that there are also many men captured $nd tried, with not a few convictions. Were our rev­enue force ten times as large as it is, however, it would be impos­sible to entirely break tip the practice complained of.

‘ ‘I am informed that the State laws of Noth Carolina are very- drastic relative to the manufact­ure and sale of distilled spirits, but it appears that State officers do very little to prevent or pun­ish for the violations of this law, though I suspect that there are one hundred State officers to ev­ery one internal revenue officer. ”

MRS. TAFT I S T T IN NEW YORK CITY

New York, May 14. —Miss fiel- en Taft was called from Bryn Mawr this afternoon to be with her mother. The two Taft boys, Charles, who is at Watertown, Conn., and Robert, who is at Harvard, were notified tonight of their mother’s illness, but were not asked to come to New York. .

Following the President’s ar­rival here at 10:20.o’clock tonight he was driven directly to his brother’s home. Soon thereafter it was announced that Mrs. Taft was much improved and that’ the President would return to Wash- ingtpn at 10 o’clock tomorrow morning.

The President looked somewhat tired and careworn from his hur­ried trip to Harrisburg and anx­iety over the illness of his wife. He found M>s. Taft better than he left her this morning, but con­fined to her bed as she had been all day, with Miss Taft and Mrs. Henry W. Taft doing what they could to make her comfortable.

■ A Washington correspondent hears that Hearst will be a presi­dential candidate and then again hears that he Will not. Probably both rumors are well founded.

HENDERSON COUNTY FEARS DESTRUCTION BY VOLCANO

.'Henderson vilie, May 13.—Is Henderson (county and a great part of western North Carolina to be utterly destroyed by the aroused fury of a slumbering vol­cano? V

In 1878, with terriffic rumbl­ings and distinct quaking of the solid earth, Shaking Bald Moun­tain split wide, a dense and evil smoke belched from a black and bottomless abyss, which threat­ened to vomit death and destruc tion upon a smiling countryside, and for miles around the turbu­lent giant there was no sleep or safety that night.

During the night of March 28 Henderson county was terror stricken from one end to the oth­er by a series of dreadful rumbl­ings, unlike any thunder, or ex­plosion, or blast ever heard in this world. The earth trembled, people tumbled from peaceful homes and feeling the very ground insecure beneath their feet, dazed by the awful detona­tions sounding! like some mon­strous game of bowls played by the gods with the roof of the sky as their altey, they were terror- stricken and sleepless for many weary hours.

This convulsion of Dame Na­ture was heard;, and felt from Asheville almost to Spartanburg,. and no explanation of its cause has yet been made. True, some one started the ‘ Caeser’s Head has fallen’ ’ yarn on its forty-sev- enth annual trip through the! col­umns of a credulous press, but within the usual time it was re­called, carefully wrapped in moth balls and now sleeps calmly in the cedar chest awaiting its next journey. , .

On the Saturday , following the earthquake, if it was an earth­quake, J udge C. M, Pace, clerk of the superior court bi Hender­son county, accompanied by two other reputable citizens, was re­turning from Saluda, driving through the country. When on the summit of the highest moun­tain across which their road led, they felt the earth tremble and heard, thrice repeated, a dull, rumbling roar, in all respects similar, they, agreed, to that heard on the memorable night of March 28.

And now for the final £nd con­clusive evidence that impel many old people here, recalling their awe-inspiring experience with Shaking Bald mountain away back yonder in 1878,. to believe that Henderson county, while en­joying a fancied security on the roof of the world, is n al y rest­ing upon a slumbering volcano.

Rumors there are, as yet un­substantiated, but coming appar­ently from reliable sources, that a thin column of smoke is now ascending from that dreadful abyss in Shaking Bald, that strange mu ttetings are heard Hvithin its infornal depths, and of a feeling of terror amongst the people living within its shadow.

I f the tales told be true, then it is possible the rumblings and tremblings of that black night of March 28 were Shaking Bald’s forewarnings of some dreadful eruption soon to blot out all life within its grasp. For what has been may occur again. The old fellow was angry in 1878, evi­dently again in 1911, and there is always the danger that this time he may not restrain his fury, but casting aside all bounds, blot out a world.

HISTORIC MILL BURNS NEAR SPENCER WITH HEAVY LOSSSpencer, May 11.—Old Saint

John’s mill, one' of the oldest grist mills in the South, situated on the Yadkin river two miles east of Spencer, was burned to­night, entailing a loss of about $12,000. With the( five story building erected 100 years ago was burned $1,000 worth of mod­ern machinery. The plant be­longed to H. Clay Grub, a wealthy business man of Davidson coun­ty. The flames w,ere decidedly spectacular, and snot 100 feet skywards. The building was sit­uated on the historic spot where General Green met Cornwallis in a skirmish two days before the battle of Guilford Court House! The Origin of the fire is unknown.

Raleigh, May 12.—In the pre­sence of a crowd numbering 5jQ people, and including a number of Spring Hope people, Norman Lewis, the negro who on Septem­ber 18, 1910, murdered Chief o f Police Stallings, ‘of Spring Hope, was electrocuted this morning at the penitentiary. The spectators included J. S. Stallings, a broth­er of the deceased, and Solicitor R. Aa P. Cooley, who prosecuted Lewis. There was one negr® present. Lewis was a small, light complected negro and was dressed this morning in a new checkered coat, dark trouser* and in -stocking feet. He was ; brought into the execution cham­ber promptly at 10;31 o’clock; glanced about the room, and was seated in the chair. As the straps; were fastened about him, and the; ; last earthly vision shut from hit. , eyes, he exclaimed in muffled ’ tones: “ O Lord, have mercy.” :; At 10.33 o’clock the 1,800 volti' were turned on by Warden Safest the body squirmed and twist@#! as usual when the powerful volt­age passed through. Th e second current was shot through the body at 10.35 o’clock, arid four minutes later he was pronounce# dead and the body removed to the table. The body was taken /team undertaking establishment asmd has not been claimed. The electrocution passed off .smoothly Those who kept the nigfet watch last night say they heard Lewis praying -and reading part o i night. In going to his death this morning he carried in his left hand a small volume, the go&peii of St. John.

He le ft nothing for public con­sumption af ter his death, except expressing to- his spiritual aa- ’ visers a regret for the crime and belief that he would be saved.

It was on the night of Septem­ber 19 that Chief Stallings went to Lewis’ house, having a warrefft charging him with illicit distilliiif He called to Lewis to come to the door and Lewis replied that fat would as soon as he put his shoe® on, and when the officer insisted he was in a hurry, Lewis order­ed his wife to blow out the light and picked up a shotgun, poured the contents into the officer. Stallings died in a Richmond hos pital, where he was taken, ani Lewis was identified at Hender­son by a man who, after reading a description of him, noticed the thumb of a negro cut off. He was placed under arrest and con­victed at the; November term of Nash county court Upon ap­peal of the Supreme court the j udgemon t of the lower court was affirmed.

GETS INSPIRATION FROM RE­CENT DESPERATE BLUNDEIDurham, May 13.—Malcolm B.

Arnold, the young man Whose sensational attempt at self-des­truction three weeks ago is re­called in many places, today left the hospital and went off on a trip greatly improved, ip fiae spirits and determined that a sin­gle blunder should not hifder his futures success in life.

His chan ged appearance made his friends feel good. He ap­pears to have no hack oji account of the recent desperation and itis altogether like) v that the affair will resolve itseif into -good for him. He is an excellent young fellow at his best and appears t« have no feeling against any man* He never did have, for that mat­ter, and he looks uppn the affair with the girl as triviality in the light of logic and afterthought

The ‘Third Annual Concert of The Burlington Choral Union was held Thursday night in the auditorium at the City Graded Shool. The spacious hall was filled with-music- lovers who were served a raie treat of the season. Those May music festivals are always to be ei>joyed; coming as they do at a season of the year when the beautiful and harmoni­ous in nature are filling the hearts of men. The Union which was composed of forty-two well trainT ed and cultivated voices, as they rendered selection after selection sounded as one grand * strain of music flowing from a single voice. The selections rendered drew the Biblican story of Christ from Gethsemane to Calvary and the crucifixion of our Blessed Savour.

Part two gave a few refresh­ing lullabys.

To add to the harmony and subliraness of this grand event Prof. Hill secured the service of Mrs. Teague and Miss Byrne and Messrs. Lawsori and Hemmell of Greensboro. These four alone would have made the event quite a treat to say nothing of the Union.

In a few very liefitting remarks Rev. Morgan told of the warm friend the Union had and. of the valuable assistance rendered by Mrs. J. L. Scott.

In addition to the forty-two members who attended the prac­tice the Union was strengthened by the aid of nineteen honorary members.

Keep Out Flies.to the dangers to health fiies are, Dr. F. 0. Hauley,

q-p rin ten dent of Health of the "ir of Charlotte, has issued the fnjV’v>r.i; letter of warning, It. ‘v0;Ui i>rove good reading for piirWrons: .

por.’t allow flies m your house. Pon't perm it them near your

food, especially m ilk.pon't buy food stuffs where

to the food, flies are the most dangerous

insects known to man. Flies are the'filthiest of all vermin. They ar.> barn in filth, live on filth, they carr. ti l th around with them. Tbev are maggots before they al-e riies. Flies are known to be carriers of millions of death-deal­ing disease germs. They leave something of these germs where­ver they alight.

Flies mtiy infect the food you eat. They come to your kitchen, or to your dining table, first from the privy vault, from the parbage box, from thei manure pile, from the cuspidor, 'from de­caying animal or vegetable mat­ter or from the contagious sick room with this sort of filth on their feet and in their bodies, rnd they deposit it on your food and you do swallow filth from privy Vault etc., etc., if you eat food that has come in contact with fiies.

F’ies may infect you with tuber culosis, typhoid fever, scarlet fe­ver. diptheria and often infec­tious diseases. They have the habit of feasting on tuberculosis si'tuium and other diseases, and ther: go direct to your food, to your drink, to the lips of your sleeping child or perhaps to a small open wound on your hand or face.

When germs are deposited fti milk they multiply very fast; therefore milk should never be exposed to flies.

Get rid of the flies; use fly poi­son in shallow dishes throughout the house.

(al Two teaspoonfulls o f for­maldehyde to a pint of water, or (c) drain of bichlorate of

potash dissolved in two ounces of water, sweetened with plenty of sugar.

To quickly clear a room of flies burn pyrethtrurn powder or blow powdered black flag into the air oi the room withapowir blower. This causes fiies to fall to the floor in a stunned condition. They must then be gathered up and destroyed. Screen all food, especially milk: do not eat food that has b on ii contact with rue?.

Keep fiies away from the sick, especiaHv those ill with typhoid fever, diptheria, and tubercu­losis. Screen the patient’s bed; kill every f!v that enters thesick rooty. Immediately disinfect

Dr. P. W . Covington To Fight Hookwoim Disease.

Dr. P. W. Covington, of Rock­ingham, has given up his private practice to assume the duties of District Director of the campaign against hookworm disease. Doc­tor Covington is to be congratulat­ed on receiving this important ap­pointment, and on having the opportunity for extending his valuable work over a large terri­tory. He, like the other . three District Directors already in the work in the State, is well fitted to fill his office. He received his academic, education at Davidson College, and his medical educa­tion at the University of North Carolina and the University of Maryland. A fter serving as hospital resident physician for one year he located at Rocking­ham. There he has built up a splendid practice, has held im­portant medical appointments, and won the esteem of the coun­try at large.

The three physicians already holding positions as District Di­rectors are Doetors B. W. Page, C. F. Strosnider and C. L. Prid­gen. These, with Dr. John A. Ferrell, the State Director of the campaign, make four physicians giving their entire time to the hookworm campaign. Besides the physicians there are six mi- croscopists in the laboratory of Hygiene at Raleigh devoting their entire time to making the examinations for hookworm in­fection.

Since the beginning of the campaign more than 20,000 peo­ple in the State have availed themselves of the opportunity for having free examinations made for the disease. Approxi­mately one-third of them have shown infection. The rapid pro­gress made in educating the peo­ple on the eradication of the dis­ease and general sanitation and their splendid response point to the ultimate eradication of this and allied diseases. The work­ers should have the hearty co­operation of every citizen.

President Finley is Optomistic.Washington, D. C., May 10.—

Ptesident W. W. Finley\ of the Southern Railway Company,’ who has recently returned from an inspection trip on which he was accompanied by members of the Board of Directors, in speak­ing.today bf business conditions in the Southeastern States, said:

“ The agricultural outlook throughout the entire Southeast­ern section seems to be very fa­vorable, , While in some localities in the southwestern part of the territory rain? have somewhat retarded, cotton planting, and while re-planting will be neces­sary in some small areas, it will have to be done to a very much smaller extent than was neces­sary last year. Notwithstanding the increased attention being given by Southern farmers to corn and other crops, the aggre­gate acreage devoted to cotton will be somewhat greater this year than last. The average preparation of the soil for plant­ing this year has been unusually good. Farmers are using ferti­lizers more scientifically and bet­ter farming is being practiced very generally throughout the South, which may be expected to result in an increase in the average yield per acre. As «i re­sult of their prosperous season in 1910, Southern farmers, to a largier extent than usual, are able to finance this year’s operations themselves without the assist­ance of local merchants and banks. 1

‘ ‘Conditions in the cotton man­ufacturing industry are not whol­ly favorable, but, as the season progresses, more definite ideas as to the size of this year’s cotton crop should bring about » more favorable relative adj ustment of the prices of the raw Material and the finished products of the mills. The lumber business is still feeling the effects of re­stricted purchases on the part of the railways, but a slight improve ment is noticable in somp of the lumber producing localities. The condition Of the iron and steel industry in the South is substan­tially the same as in other parts of the country. With underlying financial and agricultural condi­tions favorable and with a ,cair business in some industrial lines and some prospect for improve­ment in other lines, there is a reasonable basis for the expecta­tion of an acti ve business as the season progresses.

4 ‘The management of the South era Railway Company is not un­mindful of the requirements placed upon it by the increasing volume of traffic throughout its territory. It is, therefore, con-

"Look ing forward to the progressive development of its territory, the carrying capacity of those parts of its lines where the traffic is not sufficiently heavy to require dou­ble tracking is being increased by the construction of a modern system of lap-sidings and these lap-sidings are being so con­ducted that, if business shall be­come sufficiently heavy for dou­ble-track line§, they can be used in a double-track system. In all of these matters the Company is being governed by practical, and not academic, considerations, and in pursuance of this policy, the management now contemplates increasing its main-line double- trackage a,t a point where the volume of traffic is heavy, and expects to be able to keep fully abreast of traffic requirements without going beyond or strain­ing its present financial re­sources.”

After a while the big interests may choose todo business through the people's Senators, instead of laying seats for Senators of their own.

Mr. Bryan says that the day of Democracy has arrived. Mr. Bryan has seen it coming for about sixteen years just as clear- 1y as he beholds its arrival,

What the Supreme Gburt done for the Standard Oil Company in its decision Monday was a plenty. But they will find a loop-hole to evade the mandates of the court.

That the street railway will now be completed is an assured fact, should be welcome news to the towns along its route. But had rather see a little more work and less promises. Actual work always tells the tale.

The benefits to be derived from a live Chamber of Commerce are saany and varied. Why not have #uch an organization in Burling­ton?. An organization without life will soon drag the community in which it exists, down to its level.

It appears thait the Board of Aldermen are up against a prop­osition in selecting a Chief o f Po­lice, not for the lack of candi­dates, but in finding a man whom they deem suitable for the job. We believe they will measure up to the occasion and give us a good officer. In fact the plan outlined by the board will require a good officer to hold the job.

We have seen a communication from the Southern Railway Com­pany to Mr. R. W. Curtis *pf this city, from which we judge the re-opening of the Company Shop buildings for the operation of a Steel Biidge and Structural plant tc be almost an assured fact. The Railroad Company has prac­tically agreed to Mr. Curtis’ pro­position, and it only remains for a few matters to be ; adjusted to count upon the establishment of this plant as a certainty.

relation to the present education­al movement. They think cor­rectly when they say, that if Ala­mance County is to do its best for its youth and for all, it must use the best possible machinery in the hands of the practical eVe­ry day teaching educator. Yes, but the particular few ask, why are these questions agitated so much at present. The answer is simple, because this is a day of specialization and concentration of forces. To illustrate: A great scientist spent a life time study­ing the common house-fly, and in the last hour regretted his mis­take, in not studying only one leg. It is a day when no man can be two in one, and that is can't be a successful farmer and a great captain of industry at the same time. To be more specific, the Word says, that we cannot serve two masters, for we will either love the one and hate the other, or cling to one and for­sake the other. And I might say by way of parenthesis, that the present incumbent is a man of sterling qualities, of genuine worth, but like, so many men, has divided or permitted to be divid­ed, his forces, one force leading into fields of religion and the oth­er branch to steal out into the educational garden. The teach­ers of ou£ county are anxiously awaiting the decision of our County Board of Education, for the teachers know the encourage­ment, strength, vigor and fresh hope that the visit of the proper Superintendent of Schools gives to teacher and student alike.

This question becomes all the more acute, when I learn that the present incubent does not ex­pect to be a candidate for re- election, because it means th® selection of a man, Whom we have not tried in this particular capacity. Therefore, it behooves every citizen of our county to cast his eyes around about him for the most desirable, and the best qualifiedjnan, available for this position, that Can be secured for the salary paid. This leads me to the conclusion that to get the kind of a man that this place commands, it is necessary to go to the one and only source, the school of teachers. The order of creation, is everything after its kind. The farmer to the farm, the meachant to the store, the lawyer to the courts, the engineer to his engine, the preacher to the pulpit, the teacher to the school and the educator to the service of education.

It is a matter of history not very far in the past,, that the County Superintendent of Edu­cation, was some antiquated law­yer, obsolete doctor, relegated teacher or discarded partisan politician, that in many instances was permitted to detract from this the highest position of lead­ership in our countyj but it is ex­ceedingly gratifying to know that this conception of this call­ing has passed away many years ago in our county. We have on­ly to view the counties of Pied­mont North Carolina, to see strong, young, progressive teach­ers and%ducators in each county, serving the boys and girls and teachers as their constant friend and fellow- worker. For example, in Durham County, Massey, in Guilford, Foust, and in Wake, Judd, the boy, all giving the maximum results. Therefore, I must say that what -we need, if we need one thing more than another, is a man, who has spent his entire time in the study and service of the broad field of edu­cation, a man with special train­ing for special work, and I for one of the many bystanders, see everyone of these qualifications and requirements for County Superintendent of Education met in an exceedingly full measure in our native born, home grown, self made, University trained scholar and Christian gentleman, Prof. J. B. Robertson, who has spent five years teaching in the public schools of our county, and five years Superintendent or Principal of several of the best graded and high schools in the State. This young man, is a graduate from the Literary and Pedegocical department of the University of North Carolina, and the Mangum medal in ora­tory, -the highest honor Universi­ty offers, was unanimously award ed to Mr. Robertson on the day of his graduation.

This letter is not alone my own impression, but that of a large number of the teachers of the County, are high school and col- lsge companions of mine as well as of Prof. Robertson.v Not through malice", hatred or envy, but with the hope that these re­quirements will be met for the

Decay of the teeth is not a dis­ease which has its origin in modern methods of living, for toothache, with its pangs, dates back as far as history can be traced, and never has the human race suffered so universally from any other malady as it has from dental disorders.

Until recently the real cause of tooth decay was! not known. Many theories were advanced, but none permanently accepted until Dr. Miller of Berlin, after many through and exhaustive re­searches, made the announce­ment that he had discovered that decay of the teeth is directly traceable to the formation of lac- tric acid between and about the teeth, as a result of fermentation and decomposition . of food left on their surfaces.,

Now, to come to the practical point and tell our readers how to preserve theirteeth, add greatly to their personal appearance, and improve their general health. Have your teeth cleaned and their surface thoroughly polished, tak­ing care that all deposits of tar­tar are removed from the necks of the teeth and from under the free margin of the gums.

Every cavity should be filled, and any roots or teeth that are too far gone to be saved should be removed at once; otherwise, they will contaminate the breath act as breeding-places for bac­teria, and cause other teeth to decay;

The dentist having done his sh|re of the work, it is necessary that you do yours in order that his work may be a success. I f you have no tooth-brush, lose no time in obtaining a good one, with moderately soft bristles, and some reliable dentifrice. A lixuid mouth v/ash is very good to use evenings before retiring, as it percolates between the teeth more thoroughly, than does the powder or paste, and neutraliz­es any acid that remains. Do not depend on a liquid dentifrice to keep the surfaces* of your teeth clean.' It is necessary touse a paste or powder at least once a day to do this.

Above all, remember that de­cay is caused by fermentation and lactic-acid production, the result of food left on the teeth.

Teeth decay very little during the day, as there -is a large a- mount of saliva always present, which dilutes any acid almost as soon as formed.. A t night when we are asleep, t he sali vary glands are at rest, and there is very little saliva present in the mouth I f the surfaces o f the teeth are covered with food, it will fer­ment duriftg the night, and the resulting acid not being diluted by the saliva, will cause decay. Hence, it is important to remove the food from your teeth before retiring, by brushing them, using tooth paste, powder, or liquid. These dentifrices are alkaline in reaction, and will neutralize any acid that may be present in the mouth.

Try this method of preserving your teeth, arjd you will find it lessens your expenses, preserves your appearance, and improves your health.

Washington D. C., May 12.- The national legislative body now in session in Congress is proving to be an unruly tram. The/Re­publican majority in the Senate cannot el^ct a president pro tern. The insurgent Seoators have the balance of power and led by Sen­ators La Follette and Cummins were able to defeat Senator Gal- linger of New Hampshire, the caucus nominee. The Democra­tic house is well organized and aggressive, and with its power­ful majority acting as a unite, is passing much important legisla­tion , It has passed the Canadian reciprocity bill and the farmers’ free list bill, and thefe measures are now before the Senate. Dele­gations of farmers professing to be representative are besieging the Senate and the President in an effort to kill the Canadian re­ciprocity bill, but on the other hand there are delegations from the west and northwest, includ­ing agricultural representatives, much more numerous, urging the passage by the Senate os the re­ciprocity act. Chairman Under­wood is confident that a rftuch more important tariff program than has yet been presented to the lower House will be passed by this body, the’ -majority of whom it appears are in favor of free wool. The wiser heads of the Democratic majority are in favor of materially reducing the tariff on wool, but are opposed to so drastic a measure as admitting it duty free. The wool schedule is an important source of revenue to the government, and to ma­terially reduce the tariff will in­crease this revenue and .will at the same time enable the millions of wearers of wool garments in the United States to dress more elegantly and more comfortably. The bill is of course objectionable to the Wyoming Senator, who the late Senator Dolliver said was the greatest shepherd since Abra­ham, and a few herdsmen in the sparse settlements in the north­west. It' will also intefere with the Massachusetts factory morio- ply, but it will result in great benefit to ninety-nine one-hun­dredths of the population of the United States.

One of the most important in­vestigations ever made by the Interstate Commerce Commission is that of the express, companies of the United States. This in­vestigation is now under way, The commission has before it much material which it is at present studying and ’arranging. It is thought that the outcome will be a complete change in the express business of the country. Quite recently there was held in Washington a convention relative to the much talked about and written about parcels post. This was attended by distinguished men from various parts of the country. Some of them have made a thorough study of the express situation. It is some­what remarkable that the resolu­tion was passed by the conven­tion favoring the1 complete ab­sorption or control of the express companies by the government. Assuming that half the things complained against the express companies are sustained, it will not be strange if the demand for government ownership will be urgent after the Interstate Com­merce Commission's report hss beei published. In the states of Iowa, Minnesota and California railway commissioners have re­cently made investigations into the operations of these compa­nies. Business interests through­out the country are urging an ex­amination relative to the express companies, insisting that their rates are exorbitant and that their practices are unfair. Last Fall, two hundred and eight com­mercial organizations petitioned the Interstate Commerce Com-' mission to make the inquiry which is now under way. This commission, let it be understood, has full authority over express rates, regulations and practices. It is claimed by those who have thoroughly studied the subject that there is no reason whatever for the existence of express com­panies , independent of railroad companies, and it is a well known fact that the railroad companies themselves are expensive stock owners, if they do not actually control the majority of stock of the express companies, and that they are using these companies to enormously increase their profits with the resuitof enormous ly oppressing the millions who have to resort to them as common carriers. The profits in the case of some of the _ companies, it is known are as high as two hun­dred to threfe hundred :pe^ 'ceijt. There is no reason why the Unit­ed States should not carry ex­press packages under the parcels

Terrible Picture ot SufferingClinton, Ky.*-~Mrs. M. C. Me

Elroy, in a letter from Clinton* writes: ‘ ‘ For six years, I was a sufferer from female troubles. I could not eat, and could not stand bn my feet, without suffering great pain. I had lost hope. After using CarBui a week, I began to improve. Now I feel better than in six years.” Fifty years of success in actual practice, is positive proof, furnished by those who have used it, that Cardui can always be relied on for re­lieving female weakness and disease. Try Cardui, today, now!

We are proud our competitors have acknowledged our machine the best machine on the market. We are glad to know they are sufeh nice fellows. ,

Commence­ment this year with the main ad dress to be delivered by Govern­or Woodrow Wilson of New Jer sey and the reunions and confer ring of degrees on all War alumni who failed to get their diplomas because they left for service, promises to be the most import­ant in many years.

Shorter And Uglier Skirts.New York Press.

“ After a survey of the Fifth avenue Easter parade,” remark­ed an aristocratic young woro%n who does not go in for extremes in style of dress, “ an adequate estimate of the general run on new spring skirts is that they are shorter and uglier. ’ * Young wo­men who had been wearing their skirts to their shoe tops now have them halfway to their knees, and their costumes are more appro­priate for girls of 14. It seemed almost impossible that gowns could have been made tighter, but they have been. As only a small minority of women are neither too fat nor too thin, the general effect of the rfew skirts is not one of great beauty. As for modesty, well, I can say this: The harem skirt, which seems to have been le ft out of the Fifth avenue display because no one dared to put it on, certainly, with the fulness o f its folds and its bands at the ankle, is infinitely le ss vulgar than the skintight skirts o f abbreviated length that are so much worn. Between the uvo give me the harem skirt for ’"■odesty, comfort, and beauty.

The Burlington Choral Union gaveits Third Annual Concert last Thursday evening in the au­ditorium o f .the Graded School. The Burlington people did them­selves crt dit in furnishing a large and appreciative audience. Though the programme was rath­er a long one, the excellent Au­dience remained from beginning to end quiet and attentive, giv­ing every evidence of 'apprecia­tion. This cause for congratula­tion since it indicates that our people have a growing relish for something better thar rag-time music and the lighter forms of entertainment. Those watching the behavior of the audience had only one thing to regret—that applause repeatedly broke otyt at the end of some number during the singing of the sacred Cantata “ Gethsemane to .Calvary/’ It was especially noticeable when applause followed the singing of the cries of “ Crucify Him!”

The singing was excellent, and our community may feel justly proud of such a musical organi­zation as the Choral Union, and grateful for the opportunity to hear selections such as they gave us from some of the celebrated masterpieces.

The thanks of the Choral Union and of the community are due to Professor A. S. Hill of the Greensboro State Normal, for lis faithful labors as director dyring the past year, and also to the four soloists from Greens­boro, Mrs. Erntest Teague, Miss Bryner and Messrs. Hammel and Lawson, whose gratuitous ser­vices contributed much. to the pleasure and success of the Con­cert.

Rev. S. L. Morjgan, in some re­marks to the audience, stated in behalf of the Choral Union that to Mrs. J. L, Scott more than to. any other one agency is due the credit for the continuation and the success of the organization.

Fears have been entertained that the Choral Union may not see its way clear to continue dur­ing the coming year. The em­ploying of a director, the renting of a hall, expenses, and the pur­chase of music etc. involves large expense, which has taxed more or less the membership of the union. But for the generous sup­port of the public-spirited citi­zens during the last year the work of the organization would have been impracticable.

The community cannot afford to let this excellent organization die. It has greatly helped all the church choirs, or has given a much-needed means of culture to nearly all the leading singers of the town. And it has been slowly but surely elevating the musical standard of all the com­munity. To insure its continua­tion for another year, fifty new members ought to be added.; Many public-spirited citizens ought to offer to become sustain ing members, or to pay the mem­bership fees of some singers who otherwise could not become mem­bers.

The Welsh race, they tell us, is a race of singers. Everybody sings, because eve(ry community puts a premium on singing, and stimulates people to sing. The American people are about to lose their voice of song. Let us at least encourage our present sing­ers to continue their good work in the Choral Union.

The habits of college boys con­tinue to receive theJ attention of the medical journals, particular­ly the habit of smoking. There is a growing belief that students begin the use of tobacco too early and follow it up with too great zeaI.*And it is a well-ascertained fact that college students who do not smoke attain, as a general thing, a higher rank than those who do. Smoking, sanely says the Medical Journal, of*New York, may be accepted as a symptom of the contemplative habit of mind—or, to put it less kindly, of the lazy habit of mind But contemplativeness should not begin too, soon. Laziness is the last thing desired in a young man who, by the very nature of his open professions, is expected to be “ up and doing” in a stiff en­deavor to qualify himself for future success. Tobacco along with other stimulants, really be­longs to middle age, according to the same authority. 1 A t that time of life the nervous * system begins to be impaired,' and the milder naracotics have their value in conserving energy in prevent­ing waste. For the youth of 20 to adopt the props sometimes desirable for the man of 40 is &n erro»\ By a dopting such a course he unconsciously confesses to a premature degeneration. The college boy who postpones for a while the use of pipes and cigar- etts may count upon emerging from his educational ordeal with better body, brain and prospects.

AtlantaCbm&itutton the“Southern Philosopher,.’' wrotethefQl- lowing review of "“The Divine Plan of: the Ages” some time before he died: ■

“It is impossible to read this book without loving the writer and ponder­ing his wonderful solution of the great mysteries that have troubled us all our lives, '"’here la hardly a family to be found that has not lost some loved one who died outside the church—out­side the plan of salvation-, and, if Cal­vinism be true, outside of all hope Inside of eternal torment and despair.. We smother our- feelings and turn away from the horrible picture. We dare not deny the faith of our fathers, and yet can It be possible that the good mother and the wandering child are forever separated?—forever and! forever?

“I believe it is the rigidity of these teachings that makes atheists and infi­dels and skeptics^makea Christiana unhappy and brings their gray hairs down in sorrow to the grave—a loot child, a lost soul! * * *

“This wonderful book makes no Mk aertions that are not well sustained by the Scriptures. It Is built up stoue by stone, and upon every stone is the text, and it becomes a pyramid oi God’s love, and mercy, and wisdom. ,

“There is , nothing in the Bible that the author denies or doubts, but there are many texts that he throws a flood | of light upon that seems to remove from them the dark and gloomy mean? ing. I see that editors of leading jour* nals and many orthodox ministers of different denominations have endorse^ j It and have confessed to this new and; comforting light that has davrtM&j upon the interpretation of God’s Bdok. Then let every man read and pondf? and take comfort, for ve are all pris­oners of hope. This is an age of ad­vanced thought, and more thinking Is done than ever before—men dare to think now. Light—more light—Is the watchword.”

DEAR SIR:— ^T h t time has come for you to begin tolthink hpw you

are going to harvest your g ra m , '.'W -c-w -still selling the McCormick Machinery, the oldest and most reliable machine built today. This machine is built on the heaviest main frame made of angle steel. This material has the greatest torsional strength of steel this prevents machines from ever getting out of line. It also has the highest bnll-wheel which guarantees the lightest draft of any machine on the market. All machine men, when penned down and have to tell the truth, they admit that the McCormick macbine is far superior to any ether machine built to­day. Why be fooled by tftese pedlars who are peddling our County trying to sell you something that they kndw is not equal to the McCormick. We haven’t the time to do this and if you are thinking of buying a binder the next^time you are in town, come in and let u* talk the matter over with you. No man in Alamance County, who has bought a McCormick Binder has ever been disi^tisfied, can any other Agent in Alamance County say this, we say no.

Yours for business.

Celebrated Memorial Day.The old veterans of our town

and county celebrated memorial day last Wednesday. As was an­nounced they met at the Christ­ian Church where they formed a procession and marched to Pine Hill Cemetery to decorate the graves of the ones who have been called to their reward. The Elon College band 'was preserit and gave concerts from time to time, A t the Cemetery the ex­ercises were opened by prayer by Rev. Morgan. Songs were sung by the children of the Graded School and also by the sons and grand-sons and daughters and grand-daughters of the confeder­acy under the guidance of their valiant leader Mrs. L. C. Carter. Following is the speech of intro­ductory, in which Capt. Turren­tine introduced the speaker of the occasion:

“ My friends we have met to do honor to our dead Comrades which isut custom in this State on May 10t.h each year to meet and place flowers on their graves. We have as orator of the day a gentleman—a private soldier 4 in the celebrated Mahones Fighting Brigade of Virginia, who was one of the leaders of the famous charge at the battle of the crater before Petersburg, Virginia. He is a Grand-son of John Kilby who was one of th: crew of the Bon Horn Richard commanded by John Paul Jones in the fight with the Serapis in the Revolutionary War, and was one of the board­ing party who boarded the Sera­pis as his own ship went down? j this being one of the most des­perate fights at sea on record. I now introduce to you Mr. Virgi- nms S. Kilby who will address you.” • •

Following the speech of Mr. Kilby which was a very fine piece of literature and which it was j hoped to have the speaker g ive1 manuscript for publication, Mes­srs Jno. M. Cook, J. W. Davis, and Oapt, Turrentine made short addresses. Next in order was the decoration of the graves which was very impressive. The graves being 52 who had served as confederates, two in the U- nited States Army and one in the- Spanish American cause, namely Mr. A. H. Garner.
