THE REVENUE E THE INCREA8E OVER r'EBHUARY OF LAST YEAR IS VErtY CONSIDERABLE. A VERY FEW LICENSES SOLD Business and Not Whiskey Coinsiimp tion Either 'Department Doesn't Give Out Figures Other 'Than the Record No Falling Off In Revenue. Raleigh. The collections In the In ternal Revenue Department -!for the month of , February in the' Eastern District No. 4 have been . figured up and show that the amount, is 8369, 372.90. ' . . ; This 1 an Increase of ' 867,992.66 over February of last year "and is, a fair month, though the two, days' de ficit makes a'conBiderablftHdifferenjce The -month of January showed $400, 000 and December S402,000 lti round number. . The Increase In. revenue, which Vs so much been confused from a. dis tance with the whiskey business) lsn' attributed to, that department at all If there is any booze in tb state, the department isq't able to locate .It, and when It does It proceeds to confiscate and fo annihilate 4t. Thus,' there Is hardly any revenue, from that source perhaps less than ten per cent of the tribute paid the'.gbe'rnment .bomlnc from whakey at all. f There are. a few licenses or special iaxea sold to; men whq . somehow turn up, later In. the courts, but this I infinitesimal' In the general revenue. Of course, the department-doesn give out figures other than the record and what man may find from It. The Increase In revenue cornea along with' the general-prosperity: of the country. Durham'a tobacco has been paying a tremendous portion of it The Increase in corporations and In the businesses which pay tribute to the government at Washington, accounts In big measure for the steadily, grow ing 'business In the,. Raleigh office. Tn that connection It is observed that although whiskey business has been very largely eliminated,- there is no falling off in the revenue receipts They grow larger each year. It proves the point of the advocate of prohlbl tion that where distilleries die, some thing better springs up. Not Much Farming Being Done. - The windy month Is right here on us; 6ne-ixth of the year Is gotte, and less farming work done than has. been known in the past twenty-five years.

Scientists Believe Claim of Norwegian Will Try for North Pole Next ' , Christiana. When Capt Raold Amundsen's brother, Leon, personally took the explorer's telegram announc ing that be bad attained the South Pole to King Haakon, bis majesty was attending the maneuvers at Sandvik en. King Haakon immediately read the dispatch and addressed one to Amundsen at Hobart, Tasmania, say ing: ' I thank you for the Information. Tbo queen and I beg to aend you and all on board the Fraw our moat cor dial congratulations on the occasion ot your results, which are so satis factory to all of us. . Many scientific, educational and commercial associations throughout the country cabled congratulations to Amundsen. Professor Henrik Mohn, the famous meteorologist, in an in terview, pointed out the Importance of the fact disclosed tn Amundsen's message that the explorer had passed four days In close proximity to the Pole. Professor Mohn thought this would Indicate that Amundsen took observations ail around, and thereby fixed the geographical point of the pole with scientific exactness. Two local newspapers received dis patches from Capt Raold Amundsen announcing that he reached the South Pole December" 14, 1911. The dispatches were sent from Ho bart, Tasmania; where Amundsen ar rived. The ilApatches read: Pole reached,-, fourteenth-seven teenth December." This evidently means that he remained three days In the vicinity of the pole probably for the purpose of taking accurate ob servations as to his position.
