THE CHARLOTTE NEWeBRUARYr8r i 966. STILL FIGHTING LIQUOR TRAFFIC Evangelist Richard Morse Enjoys Reading the News, Way Out in Indianapolis. Liked the Salis bury Article in The NewSi Some Very Pointed Remarks. In a letter to the editor of The News Evangelist Richard Morse writing from Indianapolis says: "This will inform you and your read ers that I am still in Indianapolis fight ing the devil and his co-workers. "I enjoy the Charlotte News. We have the Star, Sun and News here, but none of them take the place of the Charlotte News. I tell the people here that they should have one more paper and call it The Moon. Commenting on The News' article concerning the criminal records of Salisbury, Mr. Morse says: "All that is needed in any town is that the sa loons be shown up in the papers. If you will give me free access to the press I can close them everywhere. "I would help the devil if he were to get loose and get converted and take sides against the curse of strong drink. I know he would do this if he was genuinely converted. "You know I was once a Democrat and remained one until I became a Prohibitionist. I never was low enough to be a Republican, nor had I little sense enough to be a Populist. I never was fool enough to be a Socialist nor devil enough to be an anarchist. I never expect to be anything in politics but a Prohibitionist unless some party in ' power will seek to prohibit the man ufacture and sale of whiskey, if the Democrats will do ,this I will return to them. If the Democrats continue to put such men as Governor Glenn in office they will get there with both feet. They will not only get. there but will stay there. "If I were a policeman I would ar rest every woman I found sitting around a euchre table playing euchre for a prize, I would do them just as the Recorder did that crowd of negro gamblers in Charlotte the other day. Euchre is just as much gambling as poker or any other game of cards. "I would like to see Zeb Vance have a monument that would do honor to that great man and to North Carolina. A Home to reform boys and girls is the kind of monument I would like to have. I would rather have such a monument than all the shafts on the battlefield of Gettysburg. I. however, would not like for this monument to be built from money derived from a carnival, unless that carnival be dif ferent from any I have seen. "I know this dotrine is not popular, I am not seeking popularity. I am try ing to serve God and am trying to get other people, to do the same thing." DEATH OF MR. J. H. DOUGLAS.

WAKE FOREST TEAM WIIIS THE GAME The "Old Gold and Black" Wins the Basket-ball Game FromY. M, C. A, Team by Score of 32 tc19. A Lively Contest. Line up of the Teams. It was a lively and interesting game of basket ball the boys put up at the Charlotte Y. M. C. A. last night. The Y. M. C. A. team was pitted aeainst the Old Gold and Black ofi Wake Forest College. Not a dull moment marred the pleas ure of the contest which abounded in snappy, rushing plays. Although the home team was outclassed, the game was close enough to be mighty inter esting. The Wake Forest boys were the heavier and taller, which fact proved of much advantage to them. Wake Forest's line-up was as follows : Forwards. Couch and Ward; center, Elliot; guards, Beverly and Gore. Accompanying the team were B. F. Keith, business manager and alternate forward; Richard Crozier, coach, and Claude McBrayer, press correspond ent. The line-up of Y. M. C. A. was, viz: Forwards, McClure and Bradfield; center, Alexander; guards, Page and Walker. Referee, Mr. Crozier, of Wake For est. . The score for the first half was: Y. M. C. A., 10; Wake Forest, 15. ' For the second half, Y.-.M. C. A., 9; Wake Forest, 17. Total score, Y. M. C. A., 19; Wake Forest, 32. The playing of Couch, of Wake For est, and Alexander and McClure, of the Y. M. C. A. team, was especially brilliant. All the boys on both teams acquitted themselves very creditably. The Wake Forest boys are nice, gentlemanly fellows, and made a good impression. The home team naturally had the greater number of rooters, but scat tered among the crowd, were a few of the old Wake Forest boys, with their college pride still warm in their hearts, who made the air ring when the col lege team made a good play. The boys from "The Hill" showed evidence of thorough training, much of which is due to Coach Crozier, who is himself an athlete of note. He is the famous "auburn-haired left field er," whose brilliant plays on the At lanta team were for eight years, the delight of Southern fans." Mr. Crozier now has charge of all branches of athletics at Wake Forest and abundant proofs of his ability can be seen in the general great improve ment there in athletics during the past year. The college team left this mor: ng for Spartanburg, S.C, where -'-they will go up against the team1 of the Y.M. C. A. of that town tonight. MECKLENBURG PRESBYTERY.

New York, Feb. 8. John D. Rocke feller's, ittle grand-daughter, . Muriel McCormick, it was learned last night was attacked by-appendicitis about a week ago and is now recovering under the personal care of her mother; from an operation perfofmert; ijj a ! priy'ate sanitarium in this city. The World yes terday told of the- serious illness of one of the , oil king's 'grandcniklre'n, but there ys doubt as to whether is was Muriel or her brother Fowler. Muriel's mother, who. was , Edith Rockefeller, wife of Harold McCormick of Chicago, is her constant nurse, de spite the fact that she has hardly re covered from the illness attending the birth of a little daughter in Europe eight weeks ago. ' Harold McCormick considered dan ger in Muriel's illness so remote yes terday that in the afternoon he went to Lakewood, taking with him the in fant daughter. John D. Rockefeller and Mrs. Rockefeller are staying in town until Mrs. McCormick and Muriel are able to. go to Lakewood, which it is hoped, will be early next week. Mrs. McCormick's parents will accompany them to Lakewood.. where the family has planned to spend the rest of the season. Muriel McCormick and her eight year old brother,'-Fowler., came .from Chicago ten days ago to meet their parents upon their return from Europe and say "How d'ye do" to their new sister. She was then as well as a child could possibly be, and the news of her illlness was a frreat shock to her fath er's family in Chicago. .' J. Medill McCormick said to The World's Chicago correspondent last night: "Word came lase evening that Muri el is ill with appendicitis; that she has been operated on and is recovering from the operation.". He added that Muriel had been sent to New York with her brother to meet their parents and to pay John D. Rockefeller and his wife a promised visit. The McCormick children spent the greater part of last season with their grandparents at Lakewood. Mr. Rocke feller delights in romping with them and taking them on automobile runs. A LITTLE POLITICS. Rollins and Blackburn are said to have fused sufficiently, when they hear of the appointment of Rollins and Millikan, to go together to the White House and sing a duet to Teddy: - "Perhaps it was right to dissemble your love, But why did you kick me down stairs?" Rhamkatte Roaster. Col. George Harvey, the editor of Harper's Weekly, suggests President Wilson, of Princeton University, for the Democratic Presidential nomina tion tin 1908. If he can organize the Jersey voters as well as he can drill the freshmen or write "history, he would be a winning candidate. . It is not partisan for the Republican Senators to line up solidly for the Santo Domingo treaty, but partisan politics for Democrats to stand against the indefensible course pursued by the President. It is the story of the farm er and the goring of the ox told in Webster's spelling book. If it is unconstitutional for the Democrats to agree to stand together against the revolutionary Santo Do mingo treaty, why isn't it unconstitu tional for the Republicans to . vote solidly as a result of orders sent down for the treaty ? The appointment of Holton was "the blow that almost killed father." Rollins has sufficiently recovered to gasp, but Blackburn is yet blue in the face. Which penitentiary will the next Republican State Convention be held in? Atlanta or Raleigh? The Fed eral and State courts are sending 'em up pretty fast. News and Observer. Dry Goods CatiKcrie.

A BOY'S BREAKFAST. There's a Natural Food That Makes Its Own Way. There's a boy up in .Hoosick Falls, N.j Y., who is growing into sturdy man hood on Grape-Nuts breakfasts. ' It might have been tlifferent with ' him, as his mother explains: "My 11-year-old boy is large, well developed and active, and has been made so by his fondness for Grape- Nuts food. At five-years he was a yery nervous child and Was subject to fre Ctuent attacks, of indigestion,' which used to rob him of his strength and were very troublesome to deal with. Hernever secured t6 'care for anything for - his breakfast until : I tried Grape Nuts, and' I have never had to change from that. He makes his entire break fast of Grape-Nuts food. It is always relished by him and-he says that it satisfies him better than; the ordinary kind of a meal. YBetter than all he, - is no longer troubled with indigestion or. nervous ness, and has got to be a- splendidly de veloped fellow since he began to use Grape-Nuts food."
