PROHIBITION IN SELLING
IF NOT IN DRINKING
The action of the board of aldermen
at the December meeting, when the
order was passed that parties having
United States licenses to sell liquor,
would not be granted city licenses to do
any kind of business in New Bern, is
one of the most stringent moves to
ward eli ninating the sale of liquor in
a prohibition city, that could be made.
This does not include drug stores, where
liquor is given on prescriptions of phy
sicians. But where parties running os
tensibly a restaurant, grocery store, or
a place where cigars and tobaccos and
soft drinks are sold, such places will be
debarred of license to do the ostensible
business of merchandising of any kind,
if they have displayed Ihc government
license.
Che result of this will be that to take
out a government license, will make the
party as conspicuous, as though "sa
loon" was written over the place. It
would mean the arrest of the party so
attempting it with every probability of
being found guilty, and having to pay
the full penalty of the law. The re
cent notice in these columns that the
Uni;ed States Commissioner had sever
al parties up who had government li
censes out of sight, in violation of the
law, which calls for the public display,
caused one of the holders of a license
to exclaim that he was "between the
devil and the deep sea. " But with the
city's action, there is left neither the
devil to go to, or the deep sea to drop
into. No man could think of trying for
a license, for he would not be free long
enough to open his front door.
With the stric', enforcement of this
new city ordinance, there will be prohi
bition in New Bern, as tojliquor selling.
It does not follow that liquor drinking
will cease, but it will make conspic
uous those who appear in public under
the influence of liquor, and should lead
to the capture of violaters of the law,
who handta liquor to retail for street
consumption.
THE LAST OF THE
SPECIAL MAIL FLYERS.
The discontinuance of the Southern
Railway's fast mail train known as "No
97", on January 1st, 1907, which has
been a prominent train along the line
between New York and New Orleans,
for years, is causing expressions of re
gret on the part of the press, which
peaks for the business interests that
are benefitted by this special fast mail
service.
This is the last of the fast mail trains,
that received a bonus for its extra ser
vice in carrying the United States
mail, and for several years, because of
the extra price paid, the opponents of
the Southern Railway Company, have
fought the appropriation bill in Con
gresr. The question of "subsidy", in
connection with this mail service, is
looked at from the point of view, as suits
the critic or friend. That the Southern
Railway has been benefitted in dollars
and cents, is very doubtful. That it
gained in reputation for running so fast
a train, is true. ; It was a task of mag
nitude. It took the best of men and
locomotives. It required a ceaseless
vigilance to make the schedule and to
secure the bonus.
. Now that the Southern people volun
tari'y give up the contract, six months
before it ends, will make the railway's
opponents rejoice in their victory,
while those business and trade inter
ests, who were concerned, will find that
the service was very much to them.
The real victory, that is the financial
one, will go to the Southern Railway
people, for the very demands made up
on the company's physical energies, to
maintain this fast mail train, when di
rected to other employment for the
r " i.l, will be foun I to give greater
r ' s. The "subsidy" removed as
i nn to trains, will quiet the fight
. v ' f ! i -.M tr this
special fast mail service, only corrup
tion. The Southern Railway no doubt
profits, so it is left to those who gaini d
by a rapid mail service, to be the only
sufferers. '
SENTIMENTAL AND PRAC
TICAL CHRISTMAStlFTS.
"What shall I buy for Christmas
gifts," will be thought and asked many
million times during this month of De
cember. The very rich and very poor
have each their hardest task, to suit
ably, as becomes the station of each to
determine and settle this question of
Christmas gifts. To the middle class
favored with means that place them be
yond want, and not so much money,
that there is a burden in knowing how
to get rid of it, there is every possibil
ity of the Christmas season being a joy
and blessing.
To the very rich Christmas giving is
a function. A social obligation, as much
as the returning of a call. There is no
sentiment about it. There is no heart's
joy in it. The gift, its value, is gauged
to meet the social obligation. It set
tles the obligation, as would the social
call relieve the person making it. It
squares things.
To the very poor, there is the strug
gle, in each family. Parent and child,
recognizing the season in the cold air,
the snow and ice, the store windows
crowded with goods for sale. There is
in the heart of each the desire to give
to p'ease the other. How, is the ques
tion, for the problem in its solution lies
in the limited means, which at winter
t'me, appears so much smaller, in the
demnnds for the daily necessities that
mean sufficient shelter, food and cloth
ing to both preserve and make life pos
sible, i
To the great middle class, the strug
gle is between the gifts that are prac
tical, that is which the receiver may
seem to need, and the gift which in a
sentimental sense, would a peal more
directly to the heart. The boy may
need a pair of shoes, but a bright knife
would seem more like Christmas. The
little girl would glory in the gift of a
doll, while a warm cloak would be laid
aside, as something common place, not
like a Christm?s gift.
Christmas peculiarly appeals to the
heart. The physical may shiver in the
icy blasts, while the heart glows with
the receiving of some mere trifle, but
one which touches the affections. It is
'are, this knowledge of personal adapta
bility, which can combine in the gift
both the sentiment of Christmas, so as
to reach the heart of the receiver, and
the practical, that the gift may out
last the hour, and in the end prove of
daily value and service. But rather
than fail, to be unable to combine, let
the gift be for the heart, to make
Christmas a day of joy, and so warm
each recipient, and bring to each heart
the full and best meaning of the day.
In this will there be the double joy of
giving and receiving. The blessing that
goes with giving that which helps and
encourages, and that which makes life
better and brighter for the gome one
else, who receives the Christmas gift.

The "Devil's" Turkey Won and Lost.
The old saying "the devil for luck,"
holds true with the Journal's "devil,"
who a few nights ago, in what used to
be called "chucking dice," but is now
termed more elegantly "drawing," in
a single throw won a whole live turkey,
over numerous competitors. Shoulder
ing his prize, the boy winner carried
his turkey to the Journal's warehouse,
to be left for the night, as it was too
late to take the bird home. Securing
the Christmas bird by the legs, the
winner left for home and told every
one of his prize and howhe got a tur
key for ten cents.
But it was different in the morning.
Hard luck as well as good luck com
to the "devil" The warehouse door
was opened, but no turkey in sight
Who was the culprit ! "The devil"
at once fastened the crime upon the
"Local," to whom he hid confided the
story of the prize. The "Local" was
also noted for his appetite, and a sin
gle turkey was only a meal for him.
"Local" indignantly denied the charge.
Search was made, and in a far, dark
corner of the warehouse was found the
turkey dead. The combined chagrin
of going for ten cents, being won by
"the devil" and tied up in a newspaper
warehouse had broken the bird's heart

Dr. Kilgo of Trinity Makes a
Stirring Speech at Con
. ' ference.
The principal address at the confer
ence Wed-iosday was delivered by Pres
ident Kilgo, of Trinity College.
Liberal Education was his theme and
his remarks created lasting impres
sion for the many practical suggestions
that it contained. He advocated the
abandonment of private denominational
educational enterprises in order that
general public education might receive
more attention.
Reports from districts showed that
there were financial deficiencies in
many cases, but there were encourag
ing reports of revivals and additions to
the churches. The stringency mention
ed in many of the reports was princi
pally due to poor crop conditions in
some localities and not from any disin
terestedness in the cause of the church.
The Bern district was one with a
slight deficiency, but stated that all
missionary assessments had been paid
in full.

State. In the past few days 20 Moon'
shiners and 17 retailers of whiskey have
been convicted and three of these go to

these are now in the county jail. The
older prisoners in this place have the
habit of yelling at the top of their
voices "Fresh Meat," as soon as new
prisoners are brought in and they keep
this up for an hour or two. It makes
most of the new arrivals very angry
and the amount of swearing -done is
something awful.
