Judge Wright had a puzzling rase before him in the county court this morninjr in the person of James Mitch ell, a young white boy, who gave his age a? 17 years. Mitchell faced two charges, larceny and carrying con cealed weapon,, a pistol, he having stolen the weapon from the county workhouse, where he was serving a nixty-day sentence, and ran away. Bloodhounds were put on his track and he was caught near Sumner's siding. He staid he was on his way to China Grove to catch a train. , Mitchell Is the seme youth who sev eral weeks ago was. given a sixty- Way term at the workhouse on a charge of stealing bed clothing ftom a room ing house in the city, where he had secured1 night's lodging, and was boarding a southbound train, wrap ped up in the bedding to keep warm. His excuse for running away from the workhouse was that it was too kne some out there and probably it was for this chap, who has been a newsboy around New York and formerly lived in Chicago. The boy elioted the sympathy of court Officials and spectators this morning but it was agreed that it would -not do to turn him loose. Ques tioning brought from the lad that his father and mother were both dead, the latter dying about four years ago in Chicago, that he and his older broth edboboed to Baltimore,' where he got separated from his brother. He then went to New York and became a- newe-H boy, slept at the newsboy's lodging house and bought his meals wherever he could purchase them. He said ho heard that it was warmer "up at At lanta and he started there and was arrested at Greensboro for hoboinir and given thirty days on the chain gang but they kept "me there 44 days," he said. Asked if he ever went to school, he said he went two years and reached the fifth grade. "Who is president of the United States?" was asked by Presecutor Furr. '"Woodrow Wilson," replied the waif. ' "Who is governor of Iillinois?" was the next question. "I don't know, I never studied ge dgraphy much," was his answer. '.'Were your parents Americans?" tne prosecutor inquired. "My mdllier was an Ameican, my ratner an Englishman," the boy re plied. "Did you ever go to church?" res, sir, 1 went to church two times." "What church did vou aro to?" "I don't know, 1 went in to get warm," young Mitchell informed the court. He said he stole the pistol for the purpose of selling it and getting some money. Judge Wright was not inclined to send so youthful a boy to the chain gang, but would prefer to get him a good home and this was his inten tion after his first arrest However, mis morning lie gave him sixty days at the workhouse, this sentence to be gin at the expiration of his former sentence of sixty days, which expire February 20th. In the meantime an effort will be made to get him in the JacksOn Training school near Con cord. Two soldiers from one of the near by army camps were indicted on a charge of being drunk and were taxed wJtH costs. RALEIGH LADY RETURNS . THE FIRE OF A NEGRO Mrs. I.

CUTTING DOWN ON THE NON ESSENTIALS. (By Edward Hungerford of The Vig ilantes.) A man coming into one of the large New York hotels today, for the first time in some months, would not gain a very vivid impression in one of the very great crises of its existence. True it is, that the dining-tfooms are draped in flags, that Mr. Hoover's injunctions are solemnly spread upon the menu cards, that officers in khaki are seat ed here and there and everywhere and that all rise upon the playing of the. national anthem. These evidences of patriotism are not difficult. An ef fort, more or less successful, has been made to dose restaurant and cabaret festivities at one o'clock in the morn ing. But that is about all. Jazz ban tfs still bang out their discordant melodies in he cheap places with softer-toned orchestras for the more expensive ones. There is gaiety in the air. And prosperity to sign the check. "We're keeping them cheered up," said the sleek proprietor of the restau rant, with a wink, "You know. Bus iness as usual." But he means, "pleasure as usual." Go over upon Fifth Avenue. The press of limousines is as great as fn any other December; perhaps even greater. Gars run in second-speed all the way from Thirty-third street to Sixty-third and there is a tremen dous wastage of .gasolene. What matters it that the president of olie of the very largest of our oil com panies warns us that we are using gasolene far faster than we are pro ducing it, that there is less than five year's reserve remaining and that soon we will have to begin putting si,de a large amount of the best product for that great newuviation fleet which is to be America's chief contribution to the war? Does that worry the men in any one of those cars? As for that matter does it worry you in yours ? Is it any of your business that there are 25,000 men nearly ten full sized regiments today engaged in driving private pleasure automobiles in the city of New York: perhaps twice that number elsewhere in tbe country. Is that your business oar mine? I rather think that is. Is it any of our business that we cannot manufacture phonographs rap idly enough to fill the demand at this time; that it is a big season in furs; that florists never had a better year? Should we not rejoice that the non-es sentials are doing go well in these bit ter times? Why business as usual? England can answer that question. She went through the same per formance? She tried to stretch her industrial productivity despite a great shortage cf 'man-powef into makinir an increased output of both essentials and non-essentials, and fail ed. ' We shal fail if we persist in try ing to do the same thing. Only in our case such a failure would be ev en more tragic. For the best things, in addition to food-stuffs, that we can supply to aid the aHies and the great cause to which we are all pledged are the products of our industrial productivity guns, powder, clothing, shoes, aeroplanes, motor-trucks, lo comotives, railroad cars; an then the ships in which to carry all these things overseas. Of money we have plenty; already we are giving generously of it to our allies. Men we can supply and shall but I am afriad, never in more tha na comparatively limited number. But munitions we can and Bhould supply in almost Unlimited quantities. Yet these we cannot give plentiful ly unless we have plentiful man-pow er. And our man-poyer, like that of England's has been depleted by the drafts for our army. And even if we have learned from her mistakes and showed more judgment in picking men for the trenches and leaving the right types Tor our essential industries, the fact remains that our fighting ser vice already has made great drains upon our industrial army.,But we can prevent the drain of non-essential in dustries upon our work-men, to say nothing: of our materials and our very limited supply of rUel. And this is the very thing that we must stop. England stopped it-in a large meas ure at least by forbidding the em ployment of men bttween the aires of eighteen and sixty-one years in sixty eight industries which she calssified as non-essential. And when one of the manufacturers barred, or practi cally barred, from making his pro duct protested, saying that he must keeep his plant anJ organization to gether until the return of peace, she found other work for him. Thus a factory given ordinarily to the output let us sav of candy, suddenly niijrht find itself manufacturing canned to matoes for the army, at a price not onlycnabled the candy-maker to keep his business together but to gain a small profit from it. And if he was at all puzzled at the details of can- ning tomatoes the govertiment sm&oth- ed out his problems. .In Great Brit ian more han 10,000 plants larjre and 9IT1&1L in nthor rtavc tiiFnino Anf . menJously diversified list of pro-' aucts are today under covernmcnt di rection making the products essential for England's part in the winning of the war. Here is a lesson Ly which the Unit ed States may proiit if only she will heed it In time. It has not as yet sunk far. When it does sink and we begin to take heed, there will be a little less gayety in the hotels: they and the theatres will begin to take on more of the complexion of London playhouses and hotels, where there h lifrht and laughter and supreme ronfikience but restraint as well. TO BE IN WEEK A 11 "Enemies to Be Rounded Up and Made to Register, Full Details of Them to Be Taken by the Depart ment of Justice February 4th Is Date Set. Washington, Dec. 30. The week of February 4 was set aside by the de partment of justice today for regis tration of the half-million unnatural ized Germans in continental lUhited States by police and postmasters in pursuance of President Wilson's alien enemy proclamation directing this ac tion as a means of niinitmaziaig fie danger frmo enemy ay;mpathizers in the United States. Earlier plans far administering the registration in the eastern cities first and gradually extending it to the en tire country we're abandoned because of the fear that some Getmans might avoid registration by moving from district to district Registration will involve the gath ering of detailed information con cerning the business, relatives and habits of every German, together with his photograph and finger prints. Af ter registering he must carry a cer tificate card and may not change his place of residence without approval of the police or postmaster. Violation of the regulations will be punishable by internment for the war. Women Not Included. The orders do not apply to German women, nor to any persons under 14 years of age, because these are not classes as alien enemies by law. Sub jects of Austria-Hungary are not re quired to register. In announcing the regulations to day, the 'department of justice took oare to avoid; creating the impression that the government looks on eaoh German with suspicion. "Registrants are not to be treated as persons of evil disposition," said in structions to registrars, "and the reg 'istration officers are urged to deal with them in a courteous and friendly manner." Police, federal marshals and agents and fostal authorities are expected to co-operate in the round-up during registration week, amd to investigate and check up each fact reported by the registrants. Certificate cards will be issued: only aftei; a complete veri fication Is made. Information of Value. Jhe infoimiation obtained will be of distinct value to officials in running down enemy plots and propaganda, and in discovering what Germans bear close watching. The task will be greatj in cities where the German popula tion is large ,and newspapers and cit izens will be asked to assist. Oftimes the test of courage becomes rather io live than die. Alfieri. If those submarines are going to "starve England," they certainly are willing for her to die a very long and lingering death. Savannah News... There will be less pressure of passen ger automobiles upon Fifth avenue, New York, or Michigan avenue, Chica go, or any other of the great pleas ure streets in the land. The thing I noticed most on a recent trip" to Mon treal, after an absence o ftwo years, Was the tremendous reduction in the number of motor cars upon the streets; the fact that most of those within sight were driven bv women. obviously their owners. Canada hasf had to learn herjesson. And so must we. Only it is within our power to make that lesson reasonably easy or fearfully hard. Awl if we do not practice self-denial now we undoubted ly shall be compelled to practice it at later time; and in a far greater measure. EAT LESS AND TAKE SALTS FOR KIDNEYS Take a glass of Salts if your Back hurts or Bladder bothers. The American men and women must euard constantly against Kid ney trouble, because vte eat too much and all our food is rich. Our blood is filled with uric acid, which the kid neys strive to filter out, they weak en from overwork, become sluggish; the eliminativc tissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and a general decline in health. When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead; your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment or you are obliged to seek relief two ?r three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headacie or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or you have rheumatism whenthe weather is bad, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a table spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your 1 I " 111 . , x a rr. . luacya -win men an nne. inis la raous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with htiia, and has been user for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys; to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannpt in-j-re, makes a delightful effervescent liUiia-water beverage, and belong in every home, because nobody can make a mistake by having a good kidney flushing any time. GERMANS ARE IS WIPED AWAY Many Lives Lost in the Terrible Earthquake Which Destroyed the City More Than Hundred Thous and People in Streets and Home less Because of Disaster. Washington, Dec. 30. Guatemala city, capital of the little Central Am erican republic of Guatemala, has been laid in ruins by a series of earth quakes beginning Christmas day and culminating last night in violent shocks which completed the work of destruction. A cablegram to the navy department today said 125,000 people were in the streets without shelter and that a number were killed by fall ing walls. Naval vessels in Central American waterf have " been ordered' to the stricken1 city to render all possible assistance. Following is the brief dispatch which brought the news of the catas trophe: , "Bad earthquake yesterday finished the work of others. Every btoing in mine and beyond description as w re sult of last night's shock. One hun dred and twenty-five thousand people are in the streets. Parts of the coun try are very cold! and windy. Tents are needed badly. Quite a number killed yesterday by falling walls." The shocks probably occurred be tween. 5 :57 and 7 o'clock last night Violent quakes were recorded at the time by the seismographs of the Georgetown university observatory and the distance was estimated at 1, 900 mites from Washington. A HOLIDAY MESSAGE TO OUR YOUNG FIGHTING MEN (Contributed by George Ade to the National Security League's cam paign of Patriotism Through Edu cation.) We must win the big war or else revise all moral codes, re rite all proverbs and adopt a brand new set of rules to govern conduct. .We have accepted certain time-honored adages as self evident truths. We found them in our early copy books and we grew up on them and repeated them so often that, natur ally, we came to think that they could be relied upon. Then Germany came along with an intensely modern variety of Ethics bearing the label of Kultur. The new medieitne is not taken in ternally or rubbed on as a limiment but you have it shot into you by a large gun. Unless you refuse to take the treat ment, everything that we ever believ ed in will be overruled, discarded and thrown into the alley. If Germany is not licked to a stand still, we might as well begin to mem orize and (humbly accept the follow ing: Dishonesty is the best policy. Be as mean as a skunk and you 'ill be happy. Blessed are the child-murderers, for they shall inherit the earth. Be sure you are right handy with fire-arms, then go ahead. An evil reputation is better than riches. Truth crushed to earth will not rise again if the crushing is done in a su perior and efficient manner. Be virtuous and you will be mis erable. Thrice armed is 'he who goes around picking quarrels. Might makes right. Hell on earth and hatred for all men. Do unto others as you suspect that they might do unto you if they ever got to be as disreputable as you are. God helps the man wih helps him self to his neighbor's house and his fields and his unprotected women. Those don't sound rifrht, do they ? The old ones that we learned first of all are not yet out of date. Suppose we don't revise them. SEVERAL NEGRO HOUSESBURN Saturday Afternoon Blaze on West Liberty Street Near Lutheran Church Coil in Kithcen Range Bursts and Alarm is Sent In. An alarm of fire Saturday after. noon called the department, tn West Liberty street just in the rear of St John's Lutheran church, where a blase had started in a neerro house. Soma time was lost in getting water, th hydrant having froze and the com bined effort of five men were necessa-, ry to turn the water on. In the meantime the blaze gained considera ble headway and two small houses, boteh occupied by negroes, were badly gutted. The fire is thought to have caught from an open fire which had been built and the occupants then left teh house with no one to look after it . Sunday morning about 10:30 AVlrwL- another alarm called the firemen to the home of Mr. R. W. Tiernan, on West Kerr street .where the water pipe coil in the kitefien inner ha! burst and thrown fire about tbe room. However, the services of the firemen were not needed, as the kitchen was was pretty well flooded when they anveo ana this had extinguished all signs of fire about the kitchen. As one fireman remarked, the servic es of the firemen were not needed, what was urgent at this tim w plumber. The damage was slierht 1 Save several dollars per ton N O matter how much old style hulls you always can save several dollars per ton by buying TUMI V HULLS UNTLKSS You pay more for the old style hulls because you are paying for about a pound of lint to every three pounds of hulls. You pay less for Buckeye Hulls because you pay only for hulls. The lint is sold separately. Other Advantages Buckeye Hulls are 100 per cent roughage. They do not contain lint which has no food value. You get 2000 lbs. of real rough age to the ton not 1500. R. S. Parkham, CreMvi&e, Co., toy: "J feed about fifty cows and calves and use Buckeye Hulls very successfully. I consider Buckeye Hulls as good feed and cheaper feed than the old style hulls." , T can tke best retaks and to develop the entiligs sdor, wet the hulls thoroughly twelve hoars before feeding. It ia easy to do this by watting them down night and morning (or Iba next feeding. If at any time this cannot bo done, wet down at least thirty minute.
