The 'United States court for the

Judge Connor then delivered his
charge, which occupied over an
hour's time, but was an. able one,
dealing with the various crimes
against the United States.'
He first took up and discussed the
similarity of the state and federal
courts, and drew the distinction be
tween the duties of the "Jurors in the
.federal courts. The federal courts
deal only with the laws upon the
statute books, and these laws must
conform with the constitution of the
United States. The duty of the
grand Jury relative, to hearing evi
dence upon bills of indictment was
then discussed. The grand Jury pro
tects the public and safeguards the
right of the Individual.
v Judge Connor .said thai the rec
ords showed that there were more
prisoners In the federal prison in At-,
lunta from North Carolina than from
any other state In this division, con
sisting of the southern staties, and
said while North Carolina always
'took pride In leading her - sister
states, he hardly thought that this
state of affairs would be considered
a great , honor. .
. The question of Illicit making and :
selling whiskey was then taken up, I
and the difference between the state
and federal liquor laws explained. '

What, constituted the crime " of
manufacturing or 'selling" liquor un
der the federal statutes wlis then ex
plained. He called attention to cases
of selling . whiskey In which, after
either acquittal or conviction, ti'ie
same party would be held for 'federal
court on the some offense. "This
shouldVnot be," declared the court,
"and a commissioner who persisted
In doing this should be removed." It
was suggested that in cases of this
kind that the Jury return "not a true
bill", . . v..,-:: - '.
' The' law about delivering whiskey
to fictitious persons by the .carrier,
C. O. D. shipments, and labelling the
package was , read and commented
upon. .. .
The next subject, discussed waa vio
lation of the postal laws, in tamper
ing, with, rural route boxes, fraudu
lent use of the mails, sending ob
scent matter through the mails, etc.
Interference with, a federal officer
in the discharge of his duty and perj
ury were commenced upon briefly.
The anti-trust law as tt stands to
day was read, also the United States
supreme court decisions upon the law.
' His honor dwelt upon this subject
at some length, saying the responsi
bility of seeing this anti-trust law
carried 'out rested upon the 'grand
jury and promised the fullest aid of
all ti'ie court officials in- making any
Investigation along that line that the
jury might see fit to make. . :"
Judge Connor, after completing his
charge, called attention to the new
furnishings of the court room and
requests that all aid in keeping the
room in a clean condition. He also
announced that the court would be In
session from 10 to 1 o'clock,, and
from 2 until 4 each day.

For some time there has been an urgent demand both by the business people of the city and the
county for an accurate map of Wake County showing each township in colors and giving the location of
all the roads and farm houses and places of interest in the entire county with a city map in the center.
Wake county has never had anything like this done simply because the cost was too great.
By a special arrangement -a U. S. government man spent a month here last summer going over the
county, and the county commissioners furnished a man to help, and the result is they constructed one of
the best and most accurate maps' of Wake County that could be designed. This original map was then
turned over to THE EVENING TIMES and we have had made a fine THREE page wall map. The
front page gives the official map of Wake county with Raleigh in the center. The second page gives
the latest and most accurate map of the State of North Carolina. The third page' gives the 1909 map
of the U. S; These maps would retail for $2.50, but as there is such urgent need of this county map
we have arranged to deliver a certain number of them at 75 cents each. .

ORIl NANCE TO BE ENFORCED.
' The editorial in The Evening
Times of yesterday about spitting
Hpon the sidewalks ; has ' received
many favorable - comments. Mayor
Wynne said this morning that there
wps an ordinance covering this, and
that he was goingto instruct the po
lice department to see that it was
strictly enforced in the future.
The anti-spitting ordinance was
passed January 4, 1901, but has' been
allowed to fall into the list of unob
served and uninforced laws, and
probably many had forgotten that
there ever was such an . ordinance.
But there Is one, and it will be en
forced. The ordinance is as follows:"
"Be it ordained by the Board of
Aldenmen of the City of Raleigh;
I That it rJhall be unlawful for any
i person or persons to wilfully expec
torate or spit upon the floor or steps
or other walkway or approach to any
hotel corridor, hotel office, public
hall, bank, public building, public
office, court house, street, car, or any
sidewalk In the City of Raleigh; and
any person violating this ordinance,'
upon conviction, shall be fined one
dollar. ;
