generals During the delivery of the

by the voice of the speaker, whose
earnestness seemed 10 commuhlthte

spirit of MTBWt devotion and
strong falfh. The simplicity and

The prospects of a great revival are
promising.
The preacher's subject was, "The

THE DESTRUCTION OP KANSAS.
^^^ghteousness exalteth a nation;

The distiller's association is sending
out new argument against prohibition.
It says that prohibition
"rtrtned the grape industry in Kansas.'!
It claims that in the eighties
this Industry was over twq hundred
thousand dollars per year and It la.
eetlmhted at less than twenty-live
thousand dollars now.
The grape Industry wasn't the only
industry ruined by prohibition.
There was the mint Industry.
Prohibition hilled the mint julep,
henee there was no more demand for
mint except In a few homes ^?ere
they made mint sauce for pring
lamb dreeslg.
Then there was the blow to the
egg Industry. Men too longer use
egg-nog since the nog has departed. '
"When prohibition came the hens had
ben doing their best in their free way
to heerp the egg Industry alive and
yon could get eggs for eight cents ]
a- dosen. Since prohibition hit the ]
egg Industry you havo to pay two j
cents apleoe for eggs. Prohibition ,
tooh the life-out of the hens. They
do not seem to have anything to )
cschle about since the saloon left us. i

Rhode Island steamed out of Cape
Henry at 5.30 o'clock yedterday afternoon
on the first la* jot a two j ui
week's voyage. The Ship Is to steam v<
up.the Delaware river to Shiptown,
Del., where several divisions of nav
al militia from Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and other states are to be lt
taken on board. Then ihe Rhode L
Island will start on a cruise that will u
include a stop at Bermuda. ^
In the four hundred that left the u
Roads with the ship were Reserves t(
from the District ot-Columbia and (1
North Carolina. The former con- T
tingent, 200 strong, arrived at Old ,
Point Comfort yesterday morning on
the steamer Northland, in command
of Commander Joseph A. Dempf.
They were taken to the Rhode Island,
which was lyings*! anchor halt
a mile from shore, in launches from
the battleship.
The North Carolina Reserves ar
rived on a special train over the Nor- 11
fbHc Southern and were taken to the H
Rhode Island from the Norfolk navy II
yard on the tug Wahneta.
The Tar Heel sailors were made
up of divisions from Edenton, Hertford.
Elizabeth City and Washingtpn.
N. C. There were about two hun
drqd altogether. Adjutant General
Young of North Carolina issued an
order disbanding a division at Plymouth
because they did not como up
to the government requlrments.
The land sailor^ were greeted with y<
cheerB by the crew of the Rhode Isl- 0i
and and they were .showed to their m
juartera by the "regulars" with an v
eagerness that forecasted some fun -N
daring the two woeks they will be h
ehSpmates. The reserves will be o
subjected to naval regulations while d
on the Rhode Ialand. They will ol
have gun drills, Ore drills, and clear
ship for action drills. They will also
be required to scrub decks and 8,
stand watches like the regular enlisted
man in the navy. In fact, dur'ng p
the visit of tho reserves, the regu- jr
lars will enjoy & sort of vacation.
Some of the work heretofore per- n
formed by the regulars will be done j,
by the reserves, but there will always 8,
be one of the former on hand to soe ?
that It is done right! t<
One thing the navy department de- it
elded before sending the reserves to
sea was that they were to receive a
the same pay as regular enlisted n
men during the time they spent on w
the Rhode Island. p
"We expect to make a good show- s'
lng," said Lieut. C. M. 8mlthson,
who came down with the District of b
Columbia reserves. -v
* Wo have been looking forward to e
this cruise for sometime and we are ti
prepared to give a good account of t!
ourselves while at sea." p
While there will be lot of work for
the reserves to do they will have ti
considerable time for recreation, d
The Rhode Island carries one of the t
berft bands in the service and yester- f
day a number of the latest songs c
and orchestrations were sent down ?
to the ship from Norfolk. c
There Is a moving picture ma- i
chine on board and a good minstrel ?
troupe. There ?IH bo boxing match- v
oa galore, and athletic events. When a

ue to a limb falling on his horse .
rhich subsequently caused bis death. ,
'he matter after dircuselon was reerred
to the mayor and city attoriey
for full Investigation.
At the lnatarce of F. A. Wright
he tax on pressing clubs was reductl
to $10 per yii\
F. S. Worthy appeared before the
ioard In behalf of the drug stores
nd asked that the tax on soda founains
be made $10 per year.
Pegram and Watson ask?d peralssion
of the board to plao a gasoline
pump on the street In front of
heir place of business. Their reuest
was granted.
The city attorney stated that all
Ines and forfeitures be turned over
o county school fund, the amount
if which is $504.00.
On motion $100 was donated for
he use of the colored fire companies
m account of their annual tournanent,
provided the companies raise

Andrew Eemory was given permision
to rent shed on public wharf at

FIRST PROSECUTION MADE.
Roxboro, July 2.?The first pros- |
cutlon and conviction under the
lew vital Statistics Nrar was made
lere today. The Vital Statistics Deiatment
of State Board of Health ,
irought charges of violation of the
tew law against a local undertaker
ir. C. C. Crltcher, for burying bod
es without a burial permit from tH^
ocal registrar and for not furnishing
leath certificates properly filled out.
'he case as tried before Mayor Winled
and the undetaker was convlctd
and fined $5 and costs.
In explanation the representative
rom the board pointed out the valle,
need and importance of the nsw
aw. He explained that the State
loard ^f Health was charged with
ta enforcement, and that tf unenonced
the results obtained would be
nlsleadlng and worse than useless
ind the money appropriated for this .
vork wasted. Thus far the board
las tried to deal leniently with tho
indertakers, mtdwlves. physiclano
ind others having to with the en'orcement
of the new law, but It is
>elleved that ample time has been
flowed for every one to become aclualnted
with Ita provisions, and
:hat hereafter vigorous action should
taken with offenders, particularly
malicious offenders. In other
words, there la a limit at which ,4patlenee
ceases to be a virtue." In
the opinion of the Board that limit
baa been reached and If a number of
other persons do not comply wttfc the |
law other prosecutions will follow
ahortlv.
