New York. Oct. 20. ? Tin* ten
men who started New York's first
slock exchange under n Wall
mi reel huttonwood tree u century
ami a half nmi would stand speec li
lies with amazement could liny
return to "tile street" today and
watclt the antics of their 1100
successors us they "shoot at" rec
ords for total transactions In u
day.
Ami speechless they mlf.ht well
remain, for their comment would
he k wallowed up without a trace
in i he meat throaty roar that ris
es from tin* pit when- the "btillH"
and "ie-ars" cavort today.
They Met a new record for all
time Saturday when in a two-hour
trading session they d?-alt. In 1
6H2.55il share* of stork. And to
day Willi that record fresh in their
minds Ihey are "shooting" at the
record all lime. Met on the historic
April .SO. lfiOI. the day of the
Northern Pacific panic, a total of
S.28 1.22fi shares were bought and
sold.
It doesn't matter greatly to
these shouting, clawing. gesticu
lating hundreds who mill about
the 20 "trading posts" where
slork are bought and fold, wheth
er the market goes up or down.
Just so it goes fast they are hap
py. for ihey pet their profit. In
commissions, either way. Indeed,
their happiest days are when (lie
market is fluctuating wildly, for
??very fluctnalion inspires some
customer with a desire to huy or
sell something.
Old traders in the street were
surprised at the comparative calm
witii which today's market opened.
They had expected a veritable ava
lanche of selling orders from n
scared trading public after the
had break the market experienced
Just before the close on Saturday.
Th?* explanation of experts was
that the hie operators, fearing lest
Ihey had scared the dear public
too badly in their efforts to "un
load" toward the Saturday clone
had created a diversion by push
ing up pi Ices of such leading rail
toad stork ? as New York Central.
Atchison. It. & O. and Southern.
This maneuver had Its effect for
a lime, but the market had not
been i mining long before It be
came apparent that the move had
been only partly successful. Ily
1 1 o'clock the stock exchange pit
had worked Itself Into consider
able of a bedlam albeit an order
ly bedlam in which every shout
and gesture had a meaning all Its
own.
Whether or not today was to
bring a new record was something
concerning which th?? oldest trader
on the floor was the least willing
to express an opinion. Hut there
was a pretty general feeling that
a record day and marl*'- several
of tin nt. was Just around the cor
ner Which means general re
joicing all through the street. For
Christmas Is coming and when
Wall street has had a prosperous
year it distributes bonuses with a
lavish hand.

Cufejr S. Evans, white farmer
of the Mill Pond section of New
land Township, about 14 mlleti
from Kli/.al>eth City, and McKln
ley Pnn-tor and 1. II. Roach, both
colored, appeared in recorder'*
court this morning on charges of
violating a variety of sections of
the Turlington Act. Proctor ami
Itoai li entered plena of guilty
Evans denied 'the charges against
him.
t'pon the request of W. I. Hal
stead. of South Mills. attorney
for Kvans. the rases ol ull three
i were continued to Thursday morn
I lug. Kvans was placed under
$500 homl. and that of the col
ored men was fixed at $250 each.
The arrest of the trio resulted
from a raid on a still in the Mill
Pond section last ulght by Sheriff
Carmine. Deputy Sheriff Prltch
nrd. Special Officer J. Bryan Veil*
i tern, and Dry Agents King and
iMtnkford. The squad arrived at
the still early In the night, and
waited until late for the opera
tors to appear. They did not.
The dry ugeuts, accompanied by
Sheriff Carmine and Officer Ven
ders. had visited the still Sunday
' night with similar results.
Along toward morning, having
decided that nobody was coming
| to the Mt ill , tbe raiding party went
i out and arrested Kvans. Proctor
i and Itoach at their homes. They
' brought them to this city,
i Proctor and Koucli freely ad
mitted their guilt, claiming that
they assisted In operating the
'still largely as a matter of accom
modating Kvans. They declared
they received little for their work,
oilier Mian a few dollars now and
then to buy groceries with. The
| still lind been in operation since
! sometime In August they suid. I
! The distilling outfit was of the
double header type, with two cop
I per worms, and was operated
' with a steam holler of two to four
, horsepower. It had a capacity es
timated 3R gallons every ten
j hours. In addition to destroying
, the boiler, (he rniders poured out
1 .000 to 1.600 gallons of mash.
They brought the two copper
worms and other paraphernalia
from the still to this city, and ex
hibited them In court.
On the path to the still, the dry
, agents found five bags of coal, ob
; vlously used as fuel at the plant.
Itoach claimed to have served on
! ly as fireman for the outfit. He
1 said he returned recently from
i Pennsylvania, and helped nt the
Mill because he couldn't find much
work elsewhere, and needed the
' little tliut he could muke.

FEDERAL PRISON ;
NOT BAD AT ALL
Deputy Sheriff Seymour
Tells (?lowiii? Tale Af
ter Atlanta Trip
The Federal prison ai Atlanta
is a wonderful place, and is much
more like an up-to-date hotel than
an institution for the punishment
of lawbreakers, according to Depu
ty Sheriff Horatio Seymour. ?.f
Camden Coifnty, who returned yes
tenlay with Deputy Marshal IV
ter 1). liurgess from n trip to tic
(teorgia city.
Tin- two officers took Warren
May, of Canal Bridge, Currituck '
County, who la to serve a year and
a day in the prison following con !
vlction In Federal Court here last ,
week on a charge of violating thei
prohibition laws.
"The prison Ih as clean and neal |
as a pin." Deputy Sheriff Seymour
said, in telling of his trip. "They ?
have plenty of good thing* to en:
for the prisoners, and give them;
aH kinds of opportunities for rec j
reatlon. It Isn't like a prison, ai
all. They have baseball diamond*, j
tennis courts, moving pictures, and
a beautifully decorated chapel. .
with paintings on the walls These
were painted by a prisoner. I was
told.
"The prisoners are divided Into
three classes. I whs Informed. The
worst ones are confined In dun
geons until they are willing to h< -
have themselves. The others. 1
classified according to their be
havior, are given light work. They
do not wear prison stripes, but are
dressed In suits made of blue over
all material. They look healthy
and mostly contented enough.
You'd nevei take them for prison
er?."
Messrs. Ilurgess and Seymour,
left here Thursday night to take
May to Atlanta. They aaid he gave
them no trouble on the way. but
after bearing glowing reports of
the prison fro?i people aboard the
train, appeared decidedly anxious
to get there and observe condi
tions for himself.

directed to tho following provi
sion In the ruloN Kovvriilnc t li ?*
?ampalKn as published in the
opening announcement ami to
which spi'Clal utli'iition was di
rected in tho odltoriai columns
of the same Issue:

in other words, when a imb
scriher otters a contestant a
subscription for his son or
daughter at college. or when lie
offers the contestant a subserlp
tion for a friend in any place
beyond tin* bounds of tho roun
tb s en numerated in tho forego
ing paragraph,* he is not doiiiK
ih<- contestant a favor, as such
a subscription will not entitle
her or hlin to any votes what
ever in the contest. Such sub
scriptions are expensive to han
dle ami a higher rate in
chanted for them, $5.00 or
Iti.OO a year, accord ing to their
distance from Kllxabeth City.
Moreover, such subscriptions
are of Utile or no value to tho
advertiser, and therefore they
are not sought after by The Ad
vance In this canrpaiKn. That
Is why no votes will be Issued
for them and no commissions
will he allowed on them.
This same rule has been in
force in the. last two subscrip
tion campaigns put on by this
newspaper and explains largely
why ground gained In those
I wo campaigns was held, while
?10 per cent of the uronnil
gained In the first campaign
was lost. Kxperlence has
lauKht us that It is a wise rule
tnd that in the long run it
works to the advantage not
nnly of the paper but of the
real workers ainonu the con
testants themselves.
