Report your personals and any local

ought to take a pride in making their

better.
Hon Locke-Craig, so far is the only
candidate for Governor to succeed Mr.
Kitchin. He will likely be nominated
by acclimation at the convention which
meets in Raleigh on June 6th. He will
stump the state for the entire ticket.
We would be glad to hear more fre-quently
from our correspondences in
the country. We are quite sure they
:ould send us much ne*s that would be
both helpful their section as well as to
the Leader. Send them in early in the
week so we can handle them for you.
There has been an immense amount
of fertilizer stored in Mebane during
the past few weeks. This will be mov-ed
out to the farms in H short while.
Fertilize business in Mebane is a big
thing, and the return of product in the
fall to Mebane ought to be equally as
big.
It is to be hoped that the farmers
South of here will not forget to put
in tillage a good quanity of tobacco.
Tobacco will be the money crop in this
i-ction this fall. Last years crop sold
well and there will be no reason why
the next seasons crop will not bring
good prices.

Graves-Clark Wedding.
At the Episcopal church in Weldon,
i N. C, Monday evenitg April 8 at 9
'o'clock, Miss Mary W. Clark, the
pretty and attractive daughter of Mr.
Mrs. Edward Clark was united in mar-
] ringe to Mr. Felix Graves of Mebane,
j N. C. Although somewhat of a surprise
1 marriage, the church was filled to over-flowing
with friends from Weldon and
neaiby towns to witness the marriage
cjremony. Mr. Graves went down on
Sunday, expecting to return Monday
night. That evening he proposed to Miss
Clark to take their friends by surprise
and be married that evening instead of
waiting until June, as had been their
intention. She consented and he asked
her mother and father's consent,—but
they l^oth opposed it, as they hated for
her to leave them so unexpectedly, they
too were anxious for her to have a
wedding. They would not consent to
wait, so were married and left on the
1 o'clock train for a bridal trip north
for 10 days or more. On their return
they will be at home in Mebane, N. C.
Miss Clark had a number of friends
in Mebane, having been a visitor here
for several seasons. We congratulate
Mr. Graves upon winning such a
charming lady. She is a splendid little
woman possessing all the rare graces
of head, and heart that help make an
ideal companion, and a social queen.

A New Justice of the Peace
Mr. John Shaw has b»en appointed a
justice of the Peace to succeed Capt.
H. A. Bason whose dealh made the
office vacant. Mayor Shaw has already
juridiction in Mebane, but this will
extend his power of operation over the
country. Mr. Shaw is a good man and
will make a good justice.
Years before General U. S. Grant
died it was remarked that he smoked
so many black strong cigars in a day j
after a while he had a trouble at the
root of his tongue. His physician ad-vised
him to let the cigars alone, he did
not. When General Grant died years
afterwards to the trouble in his throat
was largely attributed the cause of his
death. Forty years afterwards his ton
General Dent Grant is found suffering
the same trouble, which may have
hastened his death. Was it heridity?
On Friday April 19th we play a game
with the Burlington High School which
will be the last game of the season.

PROFESSIONAL YEGG
MEN LOOT BANK AT
Vault Blown open By Pow
erlul Explosive and all
the Cash Taken— No
Clue to Robbers.
Hillsboro became feverish with ex-citement
last Friday morning when it
was known that some time during:- the
night safe crackers- had blown the
vaults of the Bank of Orange with
nitroglycerin and gotten away with
something like $5,000 in cash, all they
had on hand with the exception of
some loose change which was left
scattered over floor. The job clearly
indicated the work of expert yeggmen,
the doors of the large safe inside the
vault also the door to the burglar
chest being litterally blown to pieces
so effectively had the powerful explos-ive
used done its work.
The burglars entered the bank by
the front door. The tool house of the
Southern Railway and a nearby black-smith
shop were drawn upon for picks,
sledges and chisels but it now devel-ops
that these do not appear to have
been used, the combination knobs to
the doors being blown off and the nit-roglycerine
poured into the openings
thus made. The bank was not even
temporarily embarrassed by the rob-bery

Were informed that the bank would
be open for business upon the stroke
of 9 and the pay-rolls of the manu-facturing
plants furnished as usual.
There is no definite clue as to the
robbers. Three strange men with
grips were seen to get off train No.

at 8:30 but these have since been ac-counted
for. Two umbrella menders
who have been around town 'for some
days are missing Saturday ane- suspi-cion

proof of their guilt is larking. The
bank offers a reward of $200 for the
apprehension of the guilty parties.
What a Parcels Post Law
Will Do.
The enactment of a parcels post
law by congress will devert a large
part of rural trade to city mail ordei
merchants, thus crippling approximate--
1,00,000 retail dealers of the nation and
their employes and families, destroy
good home markets for fari.i products,
injure all country newspapers which
can only live and give local and gen-eral
news to their patrons at their low
subscription orice by the aid of liberal
advertising from local merchants. And
finally, when the ruthless storm has
wrecked, if not bankrupted, the above
named classes, the recoil will fall in
full f ircejupon the farmers, in a heavy
depreciation of farms and their pro-ducts
for want of home markets All
told, about 32,000,000 or one-third of
our population will be damaged and
5,000 or less will have been profited.
He Denounces the Attack
Mr. Morrison in speaking before a
Democrat club of a thousand members
in Charlotte the other night said:
"He denounced the attack made by
Governor Kitchin, who said that Sim-mons
voted 19 times with the Repub-licans.
He declared that those votes
represented the platforms of the Dem-ocrats
party. Why did not the Gov-ernor
state that Simmons had voted
123 times against the Republicans? In
his later deliverance he said "the Gov-ernor
with that mind which is the
most finely constructed for sophistry
of any this State has ever known."
changed the statement to read "voted
19 times against the Democrats."
His Last Aci.
(From Tit-Bits.)
The heavy, fur-coated man owned
the gunpowder factory, and the lean,
cadaverous person bv his side acted as
foreman and general factotum..
"Yes, sir," remarked the menial to
the master; "poor old Bill is dead,
right enough."
"And how did it happen?" asked
the employer sadly.
"Well, sir," came the reply "you
see, sir, old Bill went into the mixing
room and by mistake struck a match. 'J
The boss looked suprised.
"Fancy Bill, of all people, doing
that!" he cried. "I should have
thought that would have been the last
thing he'd do."
"It was, sir I" replied the lanky one
remorsefully.

FERTILIZER WILL BE MADt
FROM THE AIR
Electro-Chemical Plant at
Nitrolee, S. C, Soon to Be
Completed and Work
Begin.
The last sections of ma< h'nery for
the fertilizer plant of the Southern
Electro-Chemical Company at Nitrolee,
S. C, have been received and placed
in position and those in charge are now
engaged in testing out the several
parts of the mechanism. The greater
portion of this plant is made of
porcelain^ire-clad brick and glass such
as is able to withstand the fiery effects
of the nitric acid, and almost all of it
is manufactured abroad.
Two months ago the oxdation towers,
cooling chambers, furnaces, tan'^s,
pipes and connections had been finished,
but on account of a delay in shipping
several of the "blowers," the trial
starting of the plant was postponed
until this week. These blowers will
force the aid through the electric arc
at high temperature where the oxygen
and cardon dioxide will be consumed
and the nitrogen precipitated in the
form of nitrous oxide. This nitrous
oxide is then conveyed to four immense
porcelain towers, each 75 feet in height,
where it is condensed and allowed to
settle in pans of limestone rock, the
resnltant mixture being nitrate of lime,
one of the most valuable constituents
of commercial fertilizers.
This plant at Nitrolee is largely for
experimental purposes. It will utilize
4,000 horsepower of electricity from
the Great Lalls plant of the Southern
Power Company a mile distant. If this
plant is successful, then a second one
will be built to utilize 20,000 of elec-trical
horsepower. This 4,0CD horse-power
plant will produce 5 tons of
nitric acid every 24 hours whicn will
give about 8 tons of nitrate of lime
The price of nitrate of lime is $50 a
ton.-^Chariott Observer.

Important Supreme Court
Decision.
Holding that it is a wholesome prin-ciple
that the voter should not be rc-quirred
to specify his decisions on two
or more distinct propositions, the sup-reme
court in a batch of opinions han-ded
down reversed the judgment of
the lower court in the case of the city
of Winston against the Wachovia Bank
and Trust Company, and thereby in- i
validated bonds to the value of $350,-
000. The bank had agreed to take
$160,000 worth of municipal improve-ment
bonds, but later declined on the
ground that the bonds could not be
collected, since in the election prop-osition
several items were carried on a
single ballot, when they should have |
been placed on seperate bollots. A
voter should not be required to specify
his decision on two or more distinct
propositions, the court held, and that
where, as this state, this is a matter
of legislative control an act of the
legislQture should not be interpreted
as violating this-very wholesome prin-ciple
unless it does so in clear and> un-mistaken
terms.
