Is now living la Norfolk, Va where he .conducts his large and growing wine business. In writing an, pbserver man a -few days ago con cerning the agitation, of the liquor question In Nerth Calrolna. he mado the following Interesting observation and statements:', '.cvri'-i'. .v . . i i VEvery , newspaper iman or . publi olst in the country -could, we believe, do a great 'good, not only to the win business, but to the great question of temperance reform, If, on' repeated occasions and at - such intervals a they, thought' would be Interesting to their clientele, they would discuss the great, proposition of . the possibilities of grape growing and wine culture in the United States and Us effect on the social, moral and financial con dition of the people If the matter were : an ' experiment" it wo had no guides to goyern us, the issue might be spoken , j of 'n. as ' problematical, or even ohimerlcaC hut with tho evidence published In the older countries, of which I will mention only one or two points,' there can be little room tor doubt with' any thoughtful man, "I will simply mention one or two historical facts, easy- ( of veri fication and proof. In fact they are not - controverted at all. ' First, that tho grape and. wine crop , is the backbone o. French' progress,-an essential clement ot its food 'products, and that 'In grape-growing districts excessiv us of alcoholic liquors and drugs 1 practically; unknown. When phylox era attacked the vineyards of France, drunkenness began Mo - increase by such .leaps and bounds that he gov ornment appropriated millions- of francs to' aid the -vineyardlsts to re plant their vineyards, not only to re place a wealth-producing industry, but to. safeguard her people from lapsing into . drunkenness. Italy, some twenty-nvo , years ago, seeing what France was doing In grape cul ture, . began, to , give encouragement to grape culture at, home, with .the result that within twenty-five years, the production of' wine in Italy has Increased from not a great many million gallons annually to over a billion gallons. What la true of these countries has been true of all other countries that have, given en couragement to grape growing and wine drinking. "All the encouragement that the wine men of this -country would ask. for or want would be dissociation of pure, light wines, of limited alco holic strength, from the rum tramc and permission . to sell them under such restrictions as were deemed wise until tho people had been educated to their proper use. ' Such a con dition would solve the ever present Issue of the liquor traffic in this coun try, would add billions of -wealth to the country, particularly of the South, and add a great manufactur ing Industry that would In a few years rival tho Investments now in any oth er branch ot manufacture, cotton, steel, or any of the. great Industries which have made-our country pre-em inently In the lead." Readers tof The Observer will re- call the" tief that Mr; Paut-'Garrett was tho man who set the trap for and caught the gold brick artists at GrRnaboro a few years ago. . IN THE CITY POLICE COURT, 61x 10 : Fines Imposed--Jlm Bclk, Notorious Blind Tiger, Is Bent to Jail -The Offenses and Offenders.

February 9 "The VanderbUt Cup." February 14 "The Squaw Man." One of tho most striking and beau tiful features in the spectacle of 'Parsifal" Is the flower garden scene with its fasclnatlnar flower maidens. This gflarden, as we are told in the tory, is une creation -of Kllnasor for the deliberate purpose of seduoing the Knights of the Hojy Grail from ineir lives or rectiuiae ana nonness. How well he sucoeededlJtor a time at least, we are told in the story and play. But it is in the attempted de struction of the soul of the hero himself, Parsifal, where KlingBor put forth nis greatest etrorts, and the flower garden and its occupants are made to play taelr most Important part. The garden Itself Is fairy- like and enchanting, its luxuriant foliage and tropical plants and flow era of gorgeous and varied colors arc sufficient to daxzle the eye and be wilder the senses with their splendor and penetrating perfume. Then again. In and out among this sea of oriental color and luxuriousness, there appears a number or young and lovely maidens, who rival in beauty of face and figure the mag nlflcence and oherm of their exquisite surroundings. The whole scene blazes with lrrideecent grandeur lu the brilliant sunlight. It is into this vortex ot sensuous creation that the innocent and guileless Parsifal Is lured by Kllngsor. Intent upon his moral downfall, And yet we see how this noble youth is enabled to resist all the allurements and temp tations that beset him. How. even when the arch) temptress, Kundry, now transformed Into an enchantress of wondrous beauty and voluptuos ness. Is powerless to attract him. We coo these two arch demons, frustrated In their evil machinations, at last resort to physical violence, fearful that Parsifal shall escape them. Kllngsor , hurls .the , sacred . lance at trie head of the vallakn youth. It falls to strike Mm, but miraculously re mains suspended over his head. Par sifal' grasps the holy relic and witfii It makes tne sign or tne cross, k loud crash of -thunder Is heard and, as (f an earthquake occurred, the magic castle crumble- into ruins: the flower garden and ail it contains is turned Into an arid waste, end Kllng sor disappears forever. Kundry is overwhelmed with fright and horror. while Parsifal, holding- aloft the tnoly spear, springs ever the ruins ot the castle and la lest to view. A STARTLINCJ EFFECT.'
