U. S. SHIP REACHES PORT
Cherbourg, France, March 23.
The United States shipping botird
freight steamer West Caruth, a!ded
bv a pilot tug, reached port this af
ternoon after having been in dis
tress since last night off the French
coast, m i iiM.
in the battle there and 58 war ships.
The bodies of the soldiers once buried
there have been removed to a beau
tiful cemetery in tho city. Only a
flag and one monument marks tho
spot,, but a national park will soon be
established here.
This is a great trucking section.
Just north of the city ia colony of
Hollanders are demonstrating what
eian be done in this direction. Their
holdings look like a series of beauti
ful, well kept gardens. A perfect
Mosaic of garden peas, cabbage, let
tuce and beets greet the eyes and
stretches out f.or miles. Intensive
cultivation is the way they ;turn
the trick. '
(Wilmington boasts of the ton place
which she holds for this state in the
matter of literacy. She also ack
nowledges the strenuous business
conditions which prevail. Govern
ment ship building is just now finish
ing all contracts and about 500 men
will likely leave in the near future.
Some things that have specially
struck me here are these: Dwellings
are built right out to the side
walks. Front yards and gardens
are conspicuous for their absence
Land does not grow vegetables. One
is also struck with the narrow build
ing Ms, many a nice two-storv house
occupying a 25 foot lot. The mail
is all delivered by colored men.
This is a city of churches and
schools. The city high school is one
of the grandest buildings ,1 have
seen anywhere.
The thing however, that fascinates
all is live ocean with its strange call
to man. I never tiro of watching
the waves as they roll in fury and j
the birds circling above. " Yesterday
we saw plainly a school of, large ;
tortoise rise above the waves and
diseappear, land then repeat the per
formance again and again.
As one watches the fury of the
waters he can understand how the
ancients came to think the ocean de
mon possessed. Restless and moan
ing like a suffering spirit, ment
thhought the wicked one had charge
of the waters. The hight of the
ocean puts one at once to thinking
of what the poets have had to sa
about her.
"Her waves are kneeling on the
strand
As bows the human knee,
Her white locks bowing to the sand
The priesthood of the sea."
Or Byron's apostrophe to the ocean
comes to mind or Holmes' " Cham
bered Nautilius."
''Build thee more stately mansions
oh my soul
As the swift se'asons roll;
Leave thy love-vaulted past,
Let each new temple nobler than the
last
'Shut thee 'firom Heaven with a
dome more vast
Till then at length art free
Leaving time out a morn shell
By life's unresting sea'
Wilmington is fine for a few days
of change but for all the year give
be home and Hickory. And on the
coming Lord's day I expect to be
there.

"Washington, March 23. War. ig
that the federal government weuld
tolerate no violence fo prevent pro
duction during the threatened coal
strike was issued today by Attor
ney General Daugherty.
Mr. Daugherty said he was mak
ing no threats and that he believed
a Inan or a set of men had the right
to stride, .'but they did not have
the right to interfere with men
who take their places. The attorney
general did not indicate what steps
he would take, but he 'conferred yes
terday with President Harding and
Secretary Davis in regard to an ap
peal to the country to prevent the
strike.
Mir. Da,u,gherty said he did not
believe that the government would
have to wait until there was an ac
tual coal shortage before he could
take action His theory is that
since coal is an indispensable item
in transportation, the government is
bound to see that coal is furnished
for transportation purposes.
The attorney general without el
aborating on his position said the
step to be taken by tho government
would be a little more drastic than
that taken by any other country.
He added that it was possible on
one minute past midnight March 31,
the justice department would have
something to say.

Raleigh, March 23 The first
prosecution instituted by the state
board of health under the amended
hotel law enacted by the general As
sembly of 1)21 occurred at Lexington
and resulted in the conviction of J.
Wi. Kepley, manager of the Hooel
March., at that place.
The prosecution resulted from the
failure of the management to correct
insanitary conditions after inspec
tors had pointed them out. The case
was handled by L. G. Whitley, chief;
.-)f the field inspectors, and was
tried before Judge Meyer, recorder.
Judgement of the court was a fine
of $10 the payment of costs and
the further order that the hotel be
forthwith cleaned up and brought
into such condition as to fully com
ply with the state hotel law.
Tho management of the Hotef
March was charged with violating
Tour sections of the law, namely fail
ure to' keep posted a list of charges
for rooms ; failure to provide prop
er bed linen; failure to keep beds
and bedding free from vermin; in
sanitary conditions in kitchen.
Practically all the hotels of the
state have shown a desire to heart
ilv co-operate with the State Board
of Hea'lthin observing the provi
sions of this law, which was jointly
drawn by committees of . the travel
ing men and hotel managers in con
junction with the state health offi
cer. Many oof inspections have scored

have promptly remedied defects dis
covered upon inspection.
