Yesterday Morning By Bet'

Deputy Collector, J. E. Cameron and
Depot; Marshal Bam Lilly early yes
terday DJornlng located and destroyed
near Jacksonville Onslow county, one of
the Jargestinfctt distilleries ever found m
eastern North Carolina. The plant was
pu up andmore than one thousand gal
ltfrjl ot'teer poured out on the ground.
THe till'had a capacity of 200 gallons
and was in full operation but the opera
tor tad get wind of the officers ap
proaching Visit and bad made their es
cape.
In apetking of the capture of the still
Deputy Marshal Lilly stated to a Jour
nal reported that it was located within
one hundred feet of a church and that
only by the merest chance had they
learned that it was in operation. He
said that tn all probability the opera-
tori had been running this still for
several years and had doubtless made
thousand of gallons of "moonshine"
and dispensed it in that locality. Al
though the owners made their escape
before he 'officers arrived, they are
known to the revenue men and may be
arrested at any time.

FARMER GETS
JLESS THAN
Fifty Centi of What The Consum
er Paya One Dollar For. fold
Storage Raises Living Costs.
Washington, Dec. 8. "The consum
er psys a dollar for food; te farmer
gets less than fifty cents of it. Who
geis we reau
That is a question which Secretary
Wilson of the Depsrtment of Agricult
ure asks in his annual report. The Sec
retary does not attempt to answer it
He does explain in some detail the re
sults of an investigation his department
has just concluded into the effect of
cold storage on the wholesomenass and
cost of food. His investigation leads
him to recommend publicity for the
amount of food in cold storage, just as
the Department now gives publicity to
the condition of crops from month to
month.
Instead of food remaining in storage
for longer than a year or two years, as
a rule, the Secretary declares that his
investigation shows that "receipts into
cold storage are entirely or very nearly
exhausted by the deliveries out of cold
storage within ten months."
Long storage is the exception, the
Secretary asserts. Warehousemen ex
plained to the Department that excess
ively long storage was due to lawsuits
and other ciicumstancea of a commer
cial nature. The cost of storage, inclu
ding storage charge, interest and insur
ance is considered as a barrier to every
long storage.
Cold storage, the Secretary reports,
has raised the coat of living by increas
ing the annual price level for butter
and eggs.
The Secretary says that an examina
tion of the record of prices gives a
"suspicion" that there has been much
speculation in some years by the men
who keep commodities in cold storage.
He refers to "an apparent mistake"
of the storage men in overestimating
the consumption of eggs by the public
at exhorbitant prices last winter with
the result that in the spring the stor
age men had to Bell eggs at remarka
bly low prices and send abroad the lar
gest amount of eggs ever expoitad in
order to get rid of the supply. The
Secretary declares that the warehouse
men ought to be required to send to
Washington each month tne amount of
commodities placed in storage so that
the public msy be able to julge of the
future trend of prices.

G S Henderson, a white mm who liv s
at Pollocksville, was arrested by Dep
uty Marshal Sam Li'ly Thuisday after
noon on a capias issued hy the United
States District Court, charging him
with using the mails for fradulent pur
pose. He was brought to this city ami
carried before the Unite! States Com
missioner who, after hearing the evi
dence in the case, found probable cauxe
and bound the defendant over to the
next term of the United States Dis
trict Court under a bond of $r00. Hen
derson could not give thn bond and was
committed to Craven county jail.
From all that could be learned ii re
gards to the facts in the case it seems
(hat Henderson had been ordering
quantities of whiskey from various
whiskey houses all over the country
and sending them bogus checks. He had
been tried in the United States Court
for this same offense once previouBto
this and been warned to desist from
this kind of business. However, he
failed to do so and is again in the toils
of the law.
Ladies, better put a new
coat of paint on that room

Postal Employes Cannot Have Union.
What employes of the United States
mail service term an attack on their
union organization is a general order
from C. I Grandfield, first assistant
Histmaster general, calling on nil se

1 diately to disband. The order is atsaed
the men say, at the National Federa
tion of post office clerks, an afliliatien
of tbe American Federation of Labor,
to which many of the men belong.
Tbe order does not effect any em

being incompatible with tne employ'
