In the twenty centuries of history of

the killing of Father Leo Heinrichs
Without word or gesture of warning,

anarchist pressed revolver against the

shot. Never before, it is said,, has a
servant of the church been taken from the
performance of his duties in so tragic

been slain in the sanctuary, but not by
men to whom they were minstering.

insist that the decrease in revenues
necessitates a reduction in operating

state the earnings of the men are al

will not stand a reduction. Mr.. Comp

wages of the railroad men can not
stand reduction. The cost of living
has been increasing faster than the
wages, which, in fact, have not been
increasing ut all" The statement is
also made that Representatives of the
railroad organizations at a meeting in
New York city decided that under no
circumstances would they consent to a
reduction of the present wage scale.

SUGAR CANE THE SZApLE.


There is no doubt that fine re-
turns may be realized on many va
rieties of products grown in the rich
soil of this Valley. Onions, cabbages.
string beans. melons. cauIifiower, etc.
may make the growersp profits amount
ing to several hundred dollars an acre
In fact, they have made as much as
$500 per acre or more for the for
tunate men who have struck the
markets at just the right time. Yet
all planters realize that, in addition
to such crops they should raise some
something that can be count
ed upon to keep the farmers bank
account with a balance on the right
side of the ledger In the Northern
states. this staple is generally some
grain-wheat, corn or oats, while
southern planters count on cotton
as their leading staple. These staple
products bring an average of about
$40 to $50 per acre profit to the
producer, in reasonably good years.
It is acknowledged, however. that.
on the average, northern farmers
taken as whole, year in and year out,
do not average over 81 to IS on their
crops. while southern farmers do not
generally realize over $40 net profit
per acre. Here. in this wonderful
Valley of the Lower Rio Grande,
the farmer can count upon a staple
which viii bring him at a very con
servative estimate no tess than 500
profit per acre. This is sugarcane.
With the erection of sugar mills
here. which will handle the entire
possible output of the Valley. the
sugar producer can easily count on
the profit named. Sugar growers in
East Texas are making that today.
and the tonnage per acre there is
generally much less than here. 1t is
needless to assert that sugar is a
staple. It keeps well, and need not be
rushed upon the market, regardless
Of the quantity in singht, and hence
the price varies very little. It has
been claimed by those who have in
vestigated the subject that a conserv-
alive estimate. based upon a yield of
forty tons per acre viii yield a clear
profit of at least S210 per acre to
the grower. Hence, The Herald feels
that in standing sponsor for the
claim that a clear profit of 500 per
acre may be relied upon at all times.
it is more than ordinarily conserva-
tive The Importance of raising a
staple need hardly be emphasized,
and with such possibilities as those
assured by sugar cane, the planters
in this section should not require
urging to devote a good proportion
of the quantity in sight, and hence
owners at Brownsville, in order to
encourage planters to devote their
land to this profitable crop offer to
furnish the seed cane and not collect
for same until the crop is made. This
is a great advantage for the farmers,
and all who have the land in the Val.
ley and intend to cultivate it should
lose no time in taking advantage of
this very generous offer, and plant
as much of their land as hey
can in this very profitable staple crop.

Big MORTGAGE REGISTERED.
One for Fifteen Millions Going Through
ReaISier'S Office,

Mr.. NJ. G. Markham has begun
the registration of the second
largest mortgage ever recorded
in a Durham court house.
The paper is filled out by the
Virginia Carolina Chemical COM
pany, an associated press dis
patch several days ago making
mention of the deal in which the
chemical company is interested
to the extent of fifteen millions.
The company does business in
Virginia, North and South Caro-
Ina, Georgia. Alabama, Florida,
Louisiana, Tennessee and per-
haps other states. There are six
or seven counties in the state be-
sides Durham in which the mort
gage IS recorded so that it will
be- required to be signed in a
hundred or more counties.
Mr.. Markham has a job on his
hands, It's pages or thereabouts,
being required to go on his
books. He recorded a four mil
lion dollar paper last spring and
when the Southern railway bor-
rowed great amount of money
many years ago it became neces-
sary to make 4 record Of 5000. =
100000. nearly as much then as
he whole state was worth.
There are offered 223. i07 shares
of various properties to cover
this great amount of money and

gained by prizing open window
and no one knew of the robbery

than about twenty pairs of shoes
has been missed, the robbers
leaving the paper box in which
the shoes came in the store. as
the boxes were doubtless in their
way.
There is no clue as who COM

THURSDAYS FOOTBALL RECORD.
Local Games Of Interest In This Sec
tiOn-Large Crowds to Richmond.

Large crowds of people from
this section of the State went to
Richmond, Va, Thursday for the
big Thanksgiving football game
and rooters came back feeling
that they had lost out.
There were three games of
especial interest to this section
Thursday and only one team was
successful and the score in this
game was so close that little
room was left for rejoicing. This
was the game between A. & M.
College and the Virginia Poly
tecAnic Institute in which the
score was 6 to5.
The Durham High school team
went up to Greensboro hollering
that they would surely bring
back victory, but the tables were
turned and they came back with
0, while the Greensboro boys had
a score Of 4.
All the talk for many days has
been how the North Carolina
University boys were going to
defeat the University of Virginia
team in Richmond, but it seems
they failed to put up the work
necessary and lost by a score of
81 to 0.
While many hoped that North
Carolina would be successful, the
Disappointment is somewhat over
come by the thought of how she
will serve them next time.

Leg Amputated.

Wilborne Holmes, of Orange
county. who has been under
treat1n snt at Watts hospital for
some weeks, was taken back to
his Orange county home Thurs
day morning. While here his
left leg was amputated just be-
low the knee.
Mr.. Holmes suffered an acci-
dent nearly a year ago when he
cut his foot while chopping with
an axe. The wound did not heal
and he allowed the trouble to
continue until it was finally me-
cessary for him to come to Dur
ham for treatment. 1t was found
that the bone was decaying and
amputation was necessary to save
his life. The operation was dore
some time ago.
Thursday morning Mr.. Holmes
left in the company of several
friends for his Orange county
home, and it is now thought that
he is out of danger.
