Two Hundred and Fourteen Llrrne Issued to Sell Iilquur f jovertiment Issued Them to Anybody on Pay ment ul' S'i .VOO. Rev. R. L. Davis of the North Carolina Anti -Salmon Loagu", r- published a list of persons, firm' and corporations in North Carol) ni ""ho have obtained retail lirpor li cense, from the Federal Government for the fiscal year fi-'nn Julv 1, 1909 to Jnlv 1, 1910. Th li-?t i's copied from the records of the collectors of internal revenue a-nl is of course accurate. The total number of li cense in the east -rn dis'rict is 71 and in the western district is 143, mak ing a grand total of 214 per?one fi'-ms or corporations in tbe s'a'e who hoid licenses from the Feelers' government t-i ret til liquor. Last year the number of license was 656 and the year be crp 817. The Uni ted State3 pot-emrrifnt ebrtrjes $25 per annum lor ret til liquor licensf and there are no regt.ript.ons. Anv body who CKn pay the $25 wn get h license on application. U'tder thf State law, however, license to sell liquor is issued oulv to drugpiet and medical depositories. Some times persons who sell liq-ior ille gally under the State l,tw take the pains to procure a license from the Federal government fo that in the event of trouble they will not have Uncle Sam, as well us the State to reckon with; and s metimes men convicted for retailing under the State law are forced to pay for a Federal license to avoid prosecution for the same offence in the Federal courts.

Ball of Hair in Stomach of Beef. The States ville Landmark says persons acquainted with the bovine species know that thev are given to licking themselves and those fur tner conversant with cattle know that it is said that the hair t'mt col- le ts on their tongues during the licking process sometimes aicuniu lates in the stomach and forms a hard ball. A few days ago Mr. W. L. White, of Sharpesburg township killed a beef, about two ve-irs old, and in its stomach was found a ball of hair. Mr. E. L. Sloin a neighbor of Mr. White, exhibited tbe ball at The Landmark office a few days ago. It was about the size of a big unhulled walnut, was of a brownish color and as hard as a rock. Examination showed that it was forunad of hair and its size and hardness must have made it some thing of an inconvenience to the animal that carried it. Death ofl). R. Lewis. Daniel R.
