I Two Weeks Term Convened it terday Morning With Judge H. G. Connor Presiding. FIRST DAY A BUSY ONf Large Large Number of Violation! Of the Internal Revenue Law On the Docket. A two weeks' term of the U. S. Court for this district was convened in this city yesterday morning with Judge H. G. Connor of Wilson presiding. The first week will be consumed in the disposal of the criminal cases, of which there are a large number, while the second and last week will be devoted to the hearing of the civil actions. At the opening of the term the fol lowing erand jury was selected: Ken Hay, Giles Hinson, J. J. Brinson, W. H. Whitcly, H. E. Ellis, W. B. Brown. W. T. Murphy, R. H. Rowe, J. H. Trott, N. J. Leary, T. J. Herring, Jefferson Bennett, John A. Manning, J. A. Hudson, J. A. Edwards, Jr., N. W. Taylor, Samuel Alton and Gcorg E. Kornegay, Foreman. After Judge Connor had delivered his charge to the grand jury, explaining to them their duties, the regular business of the day wai begun. The majority of the cases on the criminal docket are offenses against the Internal Revenue Law and the offenders come from all over this sec tion of the State. During the past fea months the revenue officers have been very diligent and in consequence have rounded up a large number of defend ants. A number of these cases were disposed of during yesterday. The following cases were taken up and dis posed of dur'ng the day. J. T. Scurvy of Onslow county pkaded guilty to a charge of aidiig andabettng n illicit distilling. Judg ment was suspended upon the payment of the costs and the defendant to givt a bend for his appearance at the next term o court and prove that he hat been a kw ab ding citizen during the intervening time. L. A Garner and Charles Garner, two oung men from Carteret county, pleaded guilty to a charge of destroy ing a rural 'ree del very letter box. Judgement was suspended in this case Upon the payment of the costs. Richard Artis of Wayne county pleaded gu It y to a charge of retailing and judgment was suspended upon the payment of the costs of the case.

WHISKEY OEALER was coin George Seals Will Spend Eigh teen Months In Federal Prison At Atlanta, Ga. BUSY DAY IN FEDIRAL COURT White Woman From Onslow County Found Guilty Of Retailing Liquor. One of the most important cases dis, oicrl of at yesterday's session of Federal Court was that in which George, Seals, alias J. H. Smith, was charged with i -tailing and wholesaling spirituous liquors without a government license. Sells, without any doubt, handled, mere whiskey during the lime that he was at large in this city than any or.c r an has done during a similar period timet the prohibition law went into effect. When he was placed under arrest a few months ago, forty three barrels of whiskey which were con aigncd to him were taken from the Trent river warehouse and from the evidence introduced yesterday it was shown that he had previously received more than a hundred barrel- Seals w. s not represented by an attorney, btlieving that he could con duct his ra.e in a more satisfactory manner and subsequent events proved that he was a miserable failure as a lawyer, The case was given to the jury after the prosecuting attorney had tangled th.- defendant up in so many ways that it will take him sev eral weeks to get straightened out, and aft- r deliberating for a short t'me they en NOW Session Another interesting case and also one whioh was rather unusual, owing wnue woman, was tnat in wnicn rare. Micajah Farnell of Onslow county, was on trial under a charge of retailing spirituous liquors without a govern ment license. In this case the jury returned a verdict of guilty but owing to extenuating circumstances Judge Connor suspended judgment and dis missed the action. John Basdcn and Albert Whaley of Onslow county pleaded guilty to charges of operating an illicit distillery and each was sentenced te serve a year and a day in the Federal prison at Atlatna, Ga., and to pay a fine of or.c hundred dollars and the costs of the case. In the case of Thomas Moore from Pamlico county, in which the defendant was charged with retailing, the jury returned a verdict of not guilty . A similar verdict was returned in the case in which Enoch Malpass of Wayne county was charged witn retailing. Alonzo Riggs, who on the previous day was found guilty of retailing, was sentenced to servci one year and one day in the Federal prison and to pay a fine of one hundred dollars and costs of the case. Samuel Willis pleaded guilty to a charge of retailing and was sentenced to jail for thiry days and fined one hundred dollars and also taxed with the costs of the case. George Williams of Wayne county was found guilty of retailing and was sentenced to serve four months in jail ana to pay a nne 01 one nunarea dollars and the costs of the case. Yesterday at noon the Gr.'.nd Jury completed their work and were dis charged. The jury had only been empanelled two days and had dis patched their work with such a degree of alacrity and thoroughness that Judge Connor took occasion to praise them very highly. Due to the fact that it will be nec essary for Judge Connor to go to Rich mond next Monday and attend a session of the Circuit Court of Appeals, the present term of Federal Couri will be concluded this week, instead of having a two weeks' term as had or iginally been intended. ADONISES PLENTIFUL. But Some Who Apply Seem Better Qualified For Sam. on Class. New York, April 3 ). There is no scarcity of Adonises in New York. A call for 48 of them to represent the States of the Union in the woman suf frage pageant at th.' Metroploitan Opera House on Friday evening has brought scores more volunteers to the front than arc n eded," to the embarrass ment of the women to whom fell the duty of selection. Many of the applicants from the self-confessed embodiments of male pulchritrudc, however, make it appear that they would more easily qualify as Samsons, for they boast of more than 200 pounds, over 6 feet 4 inches in height and chest measurements of the giant. One modestly qualifies his per fection by adding: "Of course, as rega ds facial appear ance 1 do not know that I am the type you desire, but if you wish I will call." Another is certain he its: che.; "; II thj qualification for the ideal man," another that he is just the man the committee is looking for, but as the women consider modesty as one cf the attributes of the perfect Adonis all boastful condidatcs are rejected. The names of the elected will not be published, even on the pageant pro gram. They will remain 48 mysteries. Although practically all the seats had been sold out, 15 have been se cured for a delegation of scrubwomen wh will be there and gaze uopn the d amond horsesh ,e, which the com mittee expects w II be as brilliant as cn the opening of the opera season. DESPERATE BECAUSE SHE HAD NO HOME. Last week the daughter of a New York millionaire who had divorod his wife or been divorced by he; it is immaterial which ran away from the sanitarium where she was kept virtually a prisoner. Finally she was discovered and her father regained possession of her. She cxplair.cd her conduct by saying th :t she was desper ate for the want of a home. "People say that 1 am rich, that my parents are rich," she teraf ,ly said. "I guess that is true but that doesn't mean that I can be happy. The daughters of rich people arc not always happy. The trouble is, I have not had a home for many ,many years. I hav been sent from one school to another, and then to another one, but none was home. What I have wanted so badly was a home. I have not had it." There is no earthly blessing com parable with a home. Be is ever so humble sang the poet, there is no place like home. Gail Borden had no home. She could picture to her self its delights but she could not enjoy them. They were for other girls that she knew, but not for her. Is it any wonder that she was restless and dissatisfied? Fortunately she will have a home in the future, her mother having decided to take her. But a home with a di vorced mother is of course not an ideal home. NOT KNOWING THE ALPHABET One result of the system of teaching children to read without teaching them the alphabet is that the new generation does not possess the sense of alpha-, betic order. Any young person nowa days takes twice the time to find a word in the dictionary that an Ide office window, a young aan who look ed fairly intelligent, started in to find tjie word "Massachusetts" in his book. He did not look at the tops of the pages, being apparently unaware that the names of the states are arranged according to the order of the letters within the words themselves he start ed in with the first State that begins with the letter "M", and turned the leaves, one by ope until he had come to the word "Massachusetts"; and, bc ginnipg. with the towns that start with the letter "W", he ran down the pages, 'name after name in regular succession until he came, let us say to the word ''Wroxham." It was a slow process, but that's the wya they all do it. It would be a good thing if postofficc clerks were required to pass an exam ination in the alphabet before they are given their positions. A knowledge of that useful table of letters would save much time for them and for the public.

This is the time to use an means ror th prevention of th spread of flies. Begin early and than keep everlastingly at H. Th vigilant fly will .use every opportunity that he get remember that. Hera are several "donts" -that will aid in fighting th fly: Don't din at a hotel or res taurant where flies are tolerated. Dont allow flies in your house. Dont permit them near your food, especially mHk. Don't buy food where flics are permitted. Don't allow them In a sick roc m. Don't allow them to crawl over th baby or th nipple of its nursing bottle. Screen every window and door in your house and keep it up until you start your furnace. Have separate screen covers over all exposed food. Let oleanliness and cleanliness and yet more cleanliness be your motto all summer long. FILTH NO FLIES. E VERY form of rubbish should be re moved by the householder. C ontairfera with tight covers should be provided. Not only gar bage, but tin cans, rags, lawn clip pings and household. rubbish, should go into such containers. , Much of this rubbish can be burned. An old garbage can with a defective bottom will make an excellent furnace. Such a can may be inverted and raised six or eight inches from the ground. Numerous holes may then be punched into the upper ond. This end will there after serve as a screen and pre vent bits of burning paper or ash from menacing th neigh borhood. When the back allay way and cellar are scrupulously clean screen the house. Screen every window and every doorway. See that th screens fit and that they are free from holes. There is little use in screening most win dows and most doors if some windows and some doors are net prc'.ectcd. Also flics can enter through very small holes, and thus only perfect screens should to used. 4X ) Fight the "Typhoid Fly." The common housefly, now known as (he "typhoid fly."' is an Important fac tor in the spreading of typhoid fever. Therefore screening the food, also tbe doors and windows, establishing sani tary dry earth closets and removing or scrceuiug all refuse, such as manure, enrbage aud decaying vegetables and .mils, will aid grent'y In the restric tion and prevention of typhoid fever.

Right now. before tbe weather becomes warmer, is the time to clean uu thus destroying the eggs and eliminating tbe flies before they are batched. The first lazy flies of spring are be ginning to crawl Into the sunny cor ners.
