A mons the best of judge of good things in the food line, is the grocery man or his wife. They know why many of theii customers purchase certain foods. The wife of a groeeryman in Carthage, New York, says: “I have always been a lover of coffee, and therefore drank a great deal of it. About a year and a half ago, I became convinced that it was the cause of my headaches and torpid liver, and resolved to give it up, al though the resolution caused me no small struggle, but Pcstum came to the res cue. Front that time on, coffee has never found a place on our table, except foi company, and then wc always feel a dull headache throughout the day foi having indulged. “When I gave up coffee and com menced the use of Postum I was an habitual sufferer from headache. I now find myself entirely free from it. and what is more, have regained my clear complexion which I bad supposel was gone forever. “I never lose an opportunity to speak in favor of Postum. and have induced many families to give it a trial, and they are invariably pleased with it.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek.

WILLIAM W. WILLSON 18 fHE NEW CITY CLERK. Was Bolected Unanimously by the Aldermen After a Private Caucus Held Last Nignt There was a special session of the Board of Aldermen last night for the purpose of electing a city clerk. Mr. William W. Willson is the new official. Mr. Ham F. Smith had sent in liis resignation, and as he deired to be re lieved of his duties before the next meeting of thb board the special meeting was held. Mr. Smith is to become book keeper for the Carolina Trust Company. Before the board met there was a caucus. This was private, but it is said that at the caucus the contest was be tween Mr. Willson and Mr. Richard Gowan. Votes were cast for Mr. G. Edgar Leach and Mr. W. H. Bragg, but the real contest was between the gentlemen first named. At one time it is reported that there was a tie vote, seven and seven, but Mr. Willson finally won out. In the regular meeting the resignation of Mr. Smith was accepted and Mr. Will son’s name was placed in nomination by Alderman A. B. Andrews, Jr. There was no other name presented and Mr. Will son was unanimously elected. In place of Mr. F. W. Habel, who since h's election as a member of the Board of Aldermen has resigned his position on the city school committee, the board elected Mr. E. L. Harris. Mr. Willson is reputed to be a most capable accountant, and an earnest worker. He succeeds a man who has won golden opinions in the office of city clerk because of his excellent conduct of the office, and the friends of Mr. Willson can wish him no better than that he be as successful and popular an officer a,s Mr. Ham F. Smith. RESOLUTIONS OF APPRECIATION. Adopted With Reference to Dr. G.bbs, by Eden ion Street Methodists. The lost quarterly conference of the year for Edenton Street Methodist church was held last night, and the fol lowing resolutions were adopted: Rev. J. T. Gibbs, D. IJ., with this year, completes his full term as presiding elder of the Raleigh District, and under the laws of our church must be transfer red to another field. As official members of Edenton Street church, and as we believe, representing the sentiment of our people, we desire to place on record this expression of our appreciation of Dr. Gibbs as a man, as a Christian minister and as a Presiding elder. He has been untiring in his labors and has displayed, not only great zeal, but the highest intelligence, and a wise business sagacity in his supervision of the work committed to his care. He has been al ways a safe counsellor. The influence of his godly life will long live among us. We humbly pray that the Father's blessings may rest richly upon him and his family, and that many added years of life may long continue his usefulness to the church at whose alters he so de lights to serve.

POST COMMANDERS ON THE ABOLITION OF THE CANTEEN Not one of Them Reports Improved Conditions As a Resalt---Increase of Saloons and Drunkenness. (By the Associated Press.) Washington, Nov. 24. —The War De partment is in constant receipts of data concerning the canteen question and the effects of its abolition upon the army. Apropos of this the statement is made at the War Department that only such in formation as has been contained in the reparts of army officers upon the sub ject has been given to the public and it is denied that any effort has l)°ei: made to influence public opinion in fje matter. It is said at the Department that the recommendations of the Adjutant Gen eral in His annual report were based on the information contained in these re ports- It is pointed out that the exis tence of something like 1,400 saloons in the vicinity of the army posts is shown by the reports received at the Depart ment. 250 to 300 of which are said to have been opened since the closing of the can teen. This further statement is made at the Department: “The majority of posts have reported that drunkenness and court-martials for drunkenness have increased; that de sertion and absence without leave has increased; that the effect of the closing of the canteen upon the morality, dis cipline and health of the troops has been bad, and, while many post commanders are in consequence of frequent changes of garrison and from the absence of cor rect data upon which to base compari sons, unable to report as to the degree of determent created by the c losing of the canteen, it can be stated as an ab solute fact that in no single case has a post commander expressed an opinion that the effect of the abolition of the sale of beer in the army has resulted in improved conditions.” With reference to the reports from the Philippines, a statement has been made epitomizing the annual report of Briga dier General Sanger, inspector general of the Division of the Philippines. After narrating the evil effects upon the Im ina nsystem of the native liquors the statement continues: “To remedy these conditions, the post exchange, at which light beer was sold, was exercising a wholesome effect, ad General Sanger believes that the ex change should again be made a possi bility by removing all restrictions on the sale of beer and light wines. “To the fear, so often expressed by the sale of beer would initiate, or in duce habits of intemperance. Gen. San ger shows from a careful census of the three hundred and forty-two companis of troops in the Philippine Islands that in sixty companies every enlisted man used vinous, malt or spirituous liquors at date of enlistment; in 130 companies, between 90 and 100 per cent; in 58 com panies, between 80 and 90 per cent; in 26 companies, between 70 and 80 per cent; in 20 companies, between 60 and 70 per cent. Unfortunately quite a number of men habitually drink to excess, and as this number probably will increase, if the men are forced to resort to native liquor, to satisfy what to many of them is a natural craving, the resul will be most deplorable. General Sanger con cluded with the remark, ‘it is hardly probable, In view of this information, that Congress shall continue the prohibi tion against the canteen when it is evi dent that the sale of beer will be a pre caution against the pernicious habits above stated and their fatal and disas trous results.’ ” WINN CASE COMPROMISED Negro Who Killed His Nephew to get 10 Years in Pen and pay 52,500.
