"Ms w'hae men charged with being One Thousand Barrels In Virginia Fort Placed At Disposal of Brokerage Concern There, If They Can Use It to Advantage. Approximately one thousand barrels of granulated suga.., stored in the warehouse of Garrett & Company in Norfolk, Va., )ias been ' tendered to Southgate & Company, a brokerage .concern, for use in'relieving the sugar famine in the Virginia city, if it is found suited for family use, by Mr. Paul Garrett, president of Garrett & Company, according to correspondence forwarded to The Star yesterday. Enclosed in the correspondence is a copy of a letter If rom Mr. Paul Gar- rett, who was in Washington last week, to the brokerage concern, stating that perhaps 1,000 barrels of granulated sugar was stored in that city, much ot which was solidified in the barrrel so that it was doubtful if it was suitable for family use.' However, the brokers were invited to examine it and put it on the market and if agreeable to ar range with refiners to replace It in kind and in quantity the latter part ot January or February. It was also sug gested that perhaps a part of it might be turned over to a Richmond dealer, for use In that city. Instructions on last Friday were sent to Mr. Fred Dalby, manager of the Noi folk branch of Garrett & Company telling him to offer every facility to any representative of Mr. Southgate to examine the stock of sugar in Norfolk for determining its advisability for local household use and in the event that it was desired to take it over, merely to' check the weights and report to the New sT ork office. Mr. Garrett Explains. . . On last Saturday, Mr. Garrett wrote the Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch as fol lows: "Acknowledging your telegram offer ing us your columns in which to make statement in regard to certain sugar held by us, beg to say that granulated sugar is one of the essential items of our business, and we have always tried to carry reasonable stocks for such use (never for sale, however) to meet the requirements of our business. ' "In March and April of this year it became evident to us that there might, be a sugar shortage "to meet the nec essary requiiements of our vintage, ne gotiations were entered into with tho refiners to supply our requirements. The refiners refused to guarantee de liveries, and would accept orders only for delivery immediately, or at their earliest convenience, a.nd we placed these orders and stored sugars for our estimated requirements at our press houses, including Wilmington. The two seasons in -which we need most sugar are July and August for the blackber ry crop and September, October and November for the grape crop, and only sugars were bought to meet normal re quirements. "The blackberry " crop was much shorter than anticipated, and as the grape crop was also short, we wero forced to transfer some of the sugars held at these points to New York State, where the grape crop was later. There was. however, even then a surplus ofgights in the crowds. A little waif of a few hundred barrels at the various press houses in North Carolina, and in our own winery at Norfolk, which wo were using for a distributing point to the North Carolina points. The sugar was bought exclusively for manufac turing purposes, and notice was serv ed on us by the refineries that if we j sold this sugar which had been bought forxmanufacturing purposes it would be difficult for us to get more, and as we were using the sugar right along in our business at the rate of several hun dred barrels monthly, and especially as this sugar,' from the surroundings in which it was stored had solidified in the barrels as to hardly be available for commercial uses, we were shipping it' back to our headquarters in New York, to which point Virginia Legisla ture has forced us to move, and using it as needed. During November through the sugar refiners- we offered to turn this sugar over to the trade to be replaced by the refiners as needed by us in New York State. w;hich propo sition was declined. The writer was called to California on business, and immediately on receipt of advices that the sugar could be used to advantage by the communities in which it was stored, he offered to turn it-over to the food authorities on condition that the same quantity be replaced when necessary for use in our business, and within ninety days. The sugar was not hoarded or held for1 profit, and our hold ings represented less than ninety days normal needs. The writer went to Washington yesterday to confer with the Food -Bureau, the situation was en tiroiv exnlained. and in the Food Ad ministrator's office the enclosed letters were written. Yours very truly, "PAUL GARRETT." RESERVES MEET TOXIGHT. . 11 Men Who Have Enlisted In Ninth Company Asked to Be On Hand.

Wherever one might turn on the streets of Wilmington yesterday there was the unmistakable Christmas spirit in the air. Mostly it manifested itself in the energetic goings to and fro of many hundreds of shoppers. But there was more evidence than that. A sort of joyous abandon possessed the throng, that one does not see or feel at any time except Christmas. It was a bewildering sort of a day. The business of selecting a Christmas present, or presents, woulu seem, . to examine it casually, a very simple bus iness; merely a matter of going down town and buying a few things. One may have definitely made up one's mind just wnat things are necessary. and has then only to get them and the job is done. i A Bewildering: Array. But this year all plans and intention have been disrupted. The merchants have filled their windows with so va ried and so enticing an array of Christ mas things that from the moment one enters the shopping district he or most ly she is torn between .whether this thing or that other thing. . this color or. that would most please the fancy of the prospective beneficiary, here are the old standbys, handkerchiefs, and socks, and ties, and cigars, and bed room slippers that have gladdened the masculine heart for so many Christ mases. There is the usual mynaa of things that men usually buy for the womenfolks, nd there are the new things that Wilmington's merchants have conjured up to widen the field of one's selection of presents. But the ties are of more varied col or; the handkerchiefs are not of the white sameness that' used to charac terize them, but are like unto Joseph's coat. One cannot be certain just what one should buy. The array is bewil dering. "Something- For a Soldier." There is another new aspect of this year's shopping. "Something suitable for a soldier," is the reply of so many of this year's shoppers when the sales man inquires the wishes of the buy er. Most of the things) for soldiers were bought weeks ago, but not all of them. And there is the knitting bag put to strange uses. Many fat and distended bags that ordinarily are devoted to knitting needles, and yarn and embry onic sweaters were seen swinging from the arms of the homeward bound la dies yesterday afternoon. The crowds were an interesting sight. People unused to the pavements, peo ple from the outlying sections; people who would be lost if they were to stray a little way off the paved ways of the city. Folks of all walks and conditions of life, elbow to elbow along the counters. And in them all the Christmas spirit that makes light of the little worries and inconveniences of life, the spirit that makes one smile and say it is nothing when a pet corn is trod upon. Some Pathetic Sight. But withal there were pathetic the streets leaning disconsolately against a counter loaded with the toys and such things that delight tlje child heart. A little negro girl counting her pennies and eying longingly a gorgeous red hair-ribbon. A mother talking in i confidential tones with . a sympathetic salesiady of the kids at home and her concern over the possiouity . tnat a slender purse will make Christmas real to them. . For once the shoppers have appar- i ently heeded the requests to shop early. AH of the merchants who were asked about this point said that as a rule people were buying earlier this year. More people, too. are carrying their bundles, which will simplify greatly a problem that has vexed both merchant and customer in years past. SOUTHSIDE CALLS PASTOR. Rev. A. A. Butler, of Tyner, Takes Mat ter Under Consideration. Rev. A. A. Butler, who preached two inspiring and forceful . sermons at Southside Baptist church Sunday, was extended a.call to become pastor of the church by the congregation at the close of the service on Sunday night. He took the matter "undef considera tion and will make his decision known at an early date. Rev. W. G. Hall, who will give up the pastorate on Jan uary 1st, has several calls under con sideration, but has not yet decided where he will go. Mr. Butler is one of ., the ablest young Baptist ministers in the State and has served his present charge for the last eight years. He is a strong preacher and the . congregation of Southside church hope to secure his ser vices as pastor. DUCK HUNTERS NARROWLY ESCAPE FREEZING TO DEATH Kinston, ' Dec. 17. Eugene Wood, coroner of Lenoir county, and a com panion had narrow escapes from freez ing to death while hunting ducks in a swamp on Moccasin river some miles from here when their canoe was stol en by men who hid it up a creek. ' The hunters started to cross a froz en branch. Mr. Wood's weight broke the ice and he fell In. His companion, a step behind . him, plunged into the cold water a moment later. They got out of the stream to the bank, but were unable .to- extricate themselves from a dense wood bordering, on the branch. Thoroughly numbed and tot tering like palsied old men because of theirshaky knees,, they spent a se rious half hour in- the thicket, , finally making their way -to cleared country. Neither man is much the worse for his experience;,' DORMITORY AT THE STATE SANITORIUM IS BURNED Raleigh, Dec. 17. Brooks Hall, one of the - principal dormitories at the State Sanitojium is reported to the state department of insurance as de stroyed by fire, last night. Dr. Mc Brayer, head of the institution, was obliged to return thirty patients to their homes today. The fire-loss was $3,500, partially, insured.-- -- The Royal Qojirtette. ' Singing and dancing:.

Getting the 3,000 men in Wilmington ! i and New Hanover classified -under the selective draft law for military ser vice was started in earnest yesterday when the first .of the questionnaires were filled out by registrants. Ow ing to the fact that the first blanks were sent out Saturday, the filling out of the blanks was hareTy started yes terday, but is expected to be in full swing by today. The city selective draft board man- j ed out questionnaires to , those having ' numbers from 159 to 293, in the order ! of their drawing, and the county j board sent blanks to those . haying numbers from 24 to 4$ inclusive. ' In many instances registrants have mov ed their postoffice address since they registered and where- they have done so it is incumbent upon them to noti fy the local boards in order that it may be known where to send tne questionnaires. Failure to receive the blanks is no excuse for not fill ing them out. the law heine- strict on this point. One Question Explained. One of the questions on the blanks that, occasioned some difficulty was that asking whether or not the regis trant had ever been guilty of a crime. All viplations of criminal statutes whether state, county or municipal are classed under the la land where anyone has ever been con victed of any offense, no, inatter how trivial, it is his duty to answer the question, "yes." However, the local boards announce that no offenses ex cept felonies will be a bar to service and that misdemeanors will not be counted against the registrant. How ever, it is required of the registrant that he state specifically the tacts in his case tor the guidance of the'boards. Attorneys were in the . grand jury room at the court house all day yes terday to render service to any who desired it. There were but few men who came to fill out their blanks. They were afforded, every courtesy. Attorneys assigned by the New Hanover bar association for service today are as follows: From 9:30 to 1:30 Herbert McClam my, John D. Bellamy, Jr., J. A. Mc Norton, Geo. H. Howell, W. A. Townes, Paul D. Satchwell, Robert Ruark, W. P. Mangum Turner. From 1:30 to 6:30 K. K. Bryan, Thomas W. Davis, P. W. Wilcox, J. O. Carr, K. O. Burgwin. Geo. L.

Howard and Wells Undertake New Amuoement Enterprise Ere long in every hamlet and village in the country moving pictures of the most modern type will be the accepted thing and Messrs. Howard and Wells, owners and operators of the theatres In Wilmington, true to their reputation as progressive and up-to-the-minute business men, are going to be in on the ground floor. Mr. Percy W.

The ease ic under close quarantine. In addition to the four cases of measles now under quaran tine there are nine cases of chicken pox and two cases of German seasles. Dr. Stovall said tnere is no parti cular danger attending chicken pox unless the epidemic breaks out in an institution where there are a great number of people subject to the con tagion. As the epidemic progresses, the disease increases in virulence. Al though the diseases resembles close ly the ordinary measeles, the period of incubation is -shorter and the after effects are not dangerous. The patients are not quarantined but are isolated in the homes. Dr. Stovall said that whether there was an epidemic of measles depended up on the co-operation of the citizens of the city with the health department. The department Is armed with strict laws concerning quarantine but un less the people want the law enforced it cannot be done effectively. RUGS she is gladdened beyond description.
