There is no happier hour in ail the
year with The New and Observer
family than, that on Christmas eve
when all the members gather together
and "ive .expression to their affection
for their head ,'lhe spirit of Christ
mas, brotherhood, peace and good-will
to all, is the daily feeling of every man
and woman, on the paper, "from the
devil doyn." and it. but crystallzes at
Christmas time into a hearty expres
sion. Fr(im a time whereof the mem
ory of many Of the members runneth
not to the, contrary, as a token of their
love The tNew$ and Observer family on
ever" Chr.stmas eve have presented
the editor, Mr,. Josephus Daniels, with
a gilt, cairylng as much of true de
votion and lonuness with it as it may,
and soma, member, in making the pre
sentation, attempts to give some ex
pression to the deep feeling that all
the people connected with the paper
hold for 1 ther chief, a feeling that
passed mere regard and admiration.
Last night the editorial rooms were
tilled with the! -Old Reliable's"' family,
and the jnewi editor, Mr. Edgar A.
Womble, spokesman for all made the
presentation speech, the gift being! a
handsome; clock. Mr. Womble said
that it was3 not simply, a custom and
that the presentation was not a cere
mony, but that it was the spontaneous
desire ofTlie News and Observer
family to rive at the time of the -year
when all hearts are gladdest a present
to the man whom they love as much
on very day as they do at the Christ
mas eeasdn-. but that the sentiment
that would accompany It at Christmas
time made such a time most appro
priate, for, the meaning of It could not
be expressed either by the gilt nor by
the words which he spoke, but best
In the vefy meaning of Christmas.
Continut-r he said in part: "We

sist in the working of taking fares and
caring for the large amount of travel
just at this season of the year. Addi
tional accommodations in both sleep
ers and day coaches have been neces
sary during the past week, and the
holiday travel is unusually large.
Most of the trains are crowded while
the station in this city Is thronged
both day and night with persons ar
riving and leaving this city, as well
as numbers who are required to make
this a Junction point. The holiday
sales of tickets are large and the win-

an acknowledged
fact, but t there are few who . have
any Idea of the amount of business in
this Use that Is being done Just at
this season of the year. ; There are
seventy-five or a hundred "package
expecters" that are around the express
office at the arrival of every express
from the north. One express car on
train No. 49 from Norfolk this af
ternoon was not sufficient to handle
the quantity, nor did It have the time
to lose In order to load the large num
ber of packages, so the Southern Ex
press Company secured additional ac
commodations on a freight train com
ing this way, and one or more cars
have been loaded with the fire water
for the territo-y In Eastern Carolina.
When it ts taken Into consideration
that there are two expresses dally
from Norfolk some Idea of the amount
of the shipments can be learned.

VACCTNATION VIOLATIONS.

Seven Women and ' One Man Who

Wilson, N. a. Dec 24. Thursday
morning when W. P. Lester (the new
ly appointed constable tor Wilson
township) went his rounds to the dif
ferent magistrates' otflces to ascertain
whether there were any papers waiting
to be served, found eight at 'Squire
Barnes" law mill again t sight vacci
nation violators seven women and
one man. He hit the grit and went
for those who were reported for not
submitting to the mandates of the
law. The first one caught. In his net
was a big black gal who had room at
"The Blk Sixteen" building on east
Green street. The constable read the
warrant Wo the woman, after which
he said : "G wan away frum heart,
white man; tote yersef out ob dat doah
Ah ain't gwtns wld you nowhar'
and she didn't of her own free wllL
Ihe constable hailed a passing dray,
man, and with the assistance of sev
eral men. the woman was bundled on
the dray and delivered In front of
'Squire ' Barnes office, all lsone load.
She refused to get up and enter the
office for a hearing and the Squire
very promptly ordered hr to Jail. Here
she also refused to walk and it took;
several men to get her behind the
bars. She never resisted, neither did
she assist the officers In getting her
behind the bars.
The next warrant served was on a
negro woman who, five- days ago be
came a mother. She told the consta
ble that she thought the premature
birth of her child ; was - caused by
fright, when a physician went to vao
cinate her several days ago. ,
Another one of the women who said:
"I will die before I submit." has left
town. At this writing the constable is
on the hunt for the other violators.
Wilson people, as a rule, are pre
servers of the peace, but a report has
been circulated that the doctors are
only vaccinating poor white folks and
negroes hence the objection-of many
to comply -with the law.-. -If the doc
tors, city and .county officials would
set the example and be vaccinated
there would be less violations
The law is imperative and Is very
plain -in regard to the violation of any
of the sanitary laws. (See Sec. 3455
Revisal of N. C): "If any person shall
violate any of the rules and ' regula
tions of the sanitary authorities, of
any county. In regard to-vaccination.
he shall be-gullty of a misdemeanor
and fined not exceeding' fifty dollars
or Imprisoned not- exceeding thirty
days."
