ASSLMBLY .TO BEDAKQUETED Social Event of Importance to Be Given at Raleith Juit alter the European war began ami "Bif Business " hero took on a httla fright, many of the big manu factoring house and the wholesalers, took their drummers off the road. Aa an evidence of the fact that busi nesa is picking up and prospects brighter, the drummers have been put out again and they are report ing that conditions are improving. Commenting along this line the Char lotte Observer says: "President Joseph H. Young of the Norfolk Southern gives an optimistic talk to a reporter for the Raleigh News and Observer, in which he says there has been a material improve ment in both the freight and passen ger traffic of his lines. Not only has am increased movement of cotton set in, but the hauling of merchandise of a general character has picked up at a gratifying rate. A good token is the reappearance in about the normal numbers of the traveling men, for, when the drummer is on t he go, busi ness is stirring. President Younfi states the case in such a nay as to negative any suspicion that he is talk ing just to get into print."' The Henderson Gold Leaf fitting ly says: "An exchange takes a hearty laugh at what it considers the "out of date people of Eastern Carolina," because of the fact that in some of the coun ties down nearer the coast the peo ple are still arguing and fussing about the "no fence law." That's nothing. Here in Henderson there are some merchants and other business men who are still arguing about whether advertising pays a question that at least ninety per cent of the successful business men of America have decided in the affirma tive long ago." 'Raleigh. Jam. 11. Tho Anti-Saloon League it determined 'that its convention, to be held her on the 13-14 of January thai be a auceesa. The Woman' Christian Temperance Union and the North Carolina Anti- Saloon League have just arranged to give a banquet at the Y. M. C. A. complimentary to the general as sembly on Thursday evening, Janu ary 14th, from five-thirty to seven o'clock. Tho delegates attending the convention from various parts of the State will also be guests at this ban quet and it is the opinion of Superin tendent Davis that it will tax the eapaeity of the Y. M. C. A. to take eare of this proposition. All arrange ments have been made and Mrs. J. Stevick, president of tho Women Christian Temperance Union . f Kal eigh, assisted by proper committee.- will prepare and serve the feast of good things on that occasion. Mr. Davis says thai it is now gen erally understood all over the State that a bill to prohibit the delivery of liquor for beverage purposes in North Carolina will be presented to this general asembly and that the shaping and framing of this bill will be the matter of chief concern at the State convention and that he is con stantly hearing, by letter and other wise of men who expect to he present to give their influence to this move ment. When asked if he thought that the general assembly would pass such a measure, Mr. Davis said he thought this depended upon whether the peo ple of the State wanted it. passed or not, that, knowing the legislature as he did and knowing many men in both houses personally, he felt safe in saying that these men desired to make such laws as the people wanted, and that when they were satisfied that their constituency wanted this law they would be ready to support it. After the State convention, thi matter of petitions to the general as sembly will be taken up in order that the representatives may understand the will of their people. ME DIPLOr.IATIC CHANGES MAY ' ClEAnO!DITION Believed Much Uncertaint ies As to Shipping on Seas to Be Elimated The Washington correspondent of the News and Observer doubtless thought that he would give the folks down home something spicy when he sent in extracts from the report of Captain Williams in charge of the U. S. S. Rhode Island on board of which the North Carolina Naval Militia last summer took a cruise The article in question was a little bit too spicy inasmuch as it Rave only tne aaverse side oi the Lap ns re marks and left out all the nice things that he had to say about the Tar Heel boys. Hereafter we hope that Mr. Yelverton will at least include whatever compliment a-v remarks are made about our bova. M. M. CAPPS OF JACKSONVILLE DEAD Well Known Citizen of On slow County Dies After Long Illness NO ANSWER YET Nothing of A Definite Nat ure Has Been Received From England Washington, Jan. 11. Renewed confidence was expressed in official circU-s today that diplomatic exchan ges between Great Britian and the United States over interruption of neutral commerce toon would lead to elimination of many of the un certainties to wnien American car goes have been subjected. The Brit ish reply to the American protest was regarded as conciliatory in tout and as forecasting a final satisfac tory agreement. While officials discussed the reply only in guarded terms, it was known they were gratified at the friendly spirit that characterized it and eon idered the situation had been great y simplified by Great Britain's frank concurrence in the basic principles expressed in the protest. They felt that an understanding had been reached upon which details could be worked out in future diplomatic correspondence. Some officials expressed surprise at the position takeu by the British for eign omce tnat England could not be expected to confine herself strict ly to accepted rules of international prooeedure on contraband shipments, because her enemies had not done One official expressed the senti ment that such a contention could not bo accepted by the American gov ernment which could in no wav be held responsible for any untoward acts of Great Britain's enemies. What American Reply Calls for Whether such a position would be taken in the next American note was a matter of speculation. It generally was expected, however, that British statistics showing increases in Ameri can exports to neutrals contigous to Germany would be called in ques tion by the American reply, and other phases of the situation cited to show that the growth was due to legitimate and unavoidable results of the war and did not prove that Ameri can exports were reaching England's enemies in quantity. SENATOR WARD PUTS IN BILL An editorial appearing in the Jour nal on Sunday morning was discussed by Rev. R. L. Davis during his ad dress at Centenary Methodist church and the discussion proved of marked interest to those who were present The editorial in question was a com ment made upon an article taken from the Bayboro Sentinel in whioh the writer called attention to the in creased crime in North Carolina and laid it at the door of prohibition. We took the opposite stand, claiming that in part the increase was due to an inoreased population and in part to the fact that liquor is yet being ' shipped herby thousands of gallons .. each week. While Mr. Davis did not agree with us on the point of an - increased population having any di--, root affect on the question, he hearti- : 17 endorsee our assertion that whiskey ; was the cause of at least seventy' ' five per cent of the crime in the State ' and that as soon as laws are passed - preventing it from being brought ... into the State, that just that soon will there be a decrease in the. nam- - tar of crime committed. There may remain a few of those .new year resolutions hut its safe to venture the assertion that, they are getting mighty tarnished. A belated report reaching New Bern Sunday night told of the death at Jacksonville, Saturdayy, of M. M. Caps, former clerk of tin Superior Court of that county and who'was one of tho town's most pro minent and progreessive citizens. Mr. Capps had been ill off and on for some time but for the past two week had been able to be out and it was thought that he was improving This, however proved to bo tho case and he was again stricken and the end came very swiftly. The deceased was a member of the New Bern lodge B. P. (). K. and beautiful floral tribute was sent by the members of this order yes terday in token of their respect and esteem of the deceased. The interment was made at Jack sonville yesterday afternoon. Mr Capps is survived by his wife and several children, among the lath being Marvin Capps, editor of the former Jacksonville Enterprise.

The Stat Department is doing great work for the benefit of the far mers, and the results obtained by their endeavors are worth many fold the cost of the maintenance. . ' It may be a long time before the women of every State in these United States can walk op to the , ballot box and cast their ballot, but, like natisnal prohibition, its only a matter of time and if those of us who are hre now live a few years longer we will tee thin come to pass.
