HUNDREDS HEAR GOV. BIl'KETT. Over 1,500 People (ireeted t hief Ex ecutive at Wilmington Friday Night. Governor Arraigned >Var and Autocracy in Scathing l.an ? m. ? - _J (Wilmington St:?.:.) "Buy one before the sun goes down. They are preferred stock in the 'gem of the ocean,' and dust from the stars of Old Glory." Thus did His Excel lency, Thomas W.-lter Bickett, gover ner of North Carolina, refer to the Liberty Loan Bond, at the conclusion of a powerful and eloquent address that inspired tind thrilled fifteen hun dred men, women and children who filled the Academy of Music to over flowing last night. Arraigning autocracy, Germanism and militarism at the bar of justice with a frequency caused the vast au dience to burst into an outbreak of thunderous applause, Governor Bick- | ett held his hearers spellbound for nearly two hours. "Autocracy, oligarchy, plutocracy, democracy, militarism, nihilism and republicanism are being melted in the seething crucible of this war," de- 1 dared the governor, "and that which comes forth at the end is destined to 1 ule this world for a thousand years to come. If autocracy emerges vic torious, then for the next thousand years every nation on the face of the earth will be fashioned on the Prus sian model. "Every marj will bear on his back h soldier, and every nation with an armed camp will be ready to spring at a moment's notice at the throat of its enemy. But if democracy comes forth, then I solemnly believe that there will be no more war on this earth," SUGAR FAMINE HAS ARRIVED. Wilmington Dealers Cannot Buy a Barrel of It Anywhere Says Dealer. (Wilmington Star, 20th.) Sugar has suddenly taken place along with coal as an object of great public interest, following announce ments from the food administrators that a shortage of sugar might be expected in the cast until next month, because people had not reduced their consumption, *as had been advised by the government. Yesterday it was stated that not p barnol of sugar could be bought from dealers, importers or refineries, and locally the retailers were either "out" or in^a fair way of being "out." % Mr. J. A. Taylor, wholesale grocer, was asked about the statement in yes terday's dispatches by Mr. Hoover, to the effect that in spite of the shortage, sugar should sell at from 8 to 8 1-2 cents a pound, and Mr. Taylor de clared that there was no sugp.r to be had at any price. He had phoned and telegraphed the refiners and large dealers in the big markets, and word had come back that there was no su gar to be had. The food administrator's statement that sugar, in spite of the shortage, should be selling at 8 cents, is regard ed as ridiculous when there isn't a pound to be bought at 8 or 18 cents or any ether price ? simpiy no stock on the market. Practical bu^'ness men, earnestly desirous of aiding the government and far frcm wishing to put any stumbling blocks in its path, are slightly inclined to criticise the food administration on the scoro of provincialism. In other words, it is said that the food officials know ab . solutely nothing of food conditions in the South, for instance.^ If they hap pen to know that Now York has a thousand tons of sug<ir on hr.nd, they argu? from that, that the rest of the country has plenty.
