One of the most important cases disposed of. at yesterday's session -of .. federal Court was that in which George j tSeals, alias J. H. Smith, was charged -with retailing and wholesaling spirituous liquors -without a government license. Seals, without any doubt, handled, -snore whiskey during the. time that he -waarat large in this city than any one tnan has dorie during a similar period aaace the prohibition law went into -eBect. When he was placed under sarrest a few months ago, forty three Inrrels of whiskey which were Con--signed to him were taken from the - Trent river warehouse and from the Viknce introduced yesterday it, was d&own that he had previously received ' xoort than a hundred barrels. Seals was not represented by an attorney, believing that he could con duct his case in a more satisfactory zntaimer and subsequent events proved that he was a miserable failure as a lawyer. The case was given to the jury after the prosecuting - attorney lad tangled the defendant up in so smany ways that it will take him sev- -eral weeks to get straightened out, and .after deliberating for a short t'me they eturned-a verdict of guilty. " She de iendartt was sentenced to eighteeii snonths at hard labor in the Federal Prison at Atlanta and was also fined -one hundred dollars and taxed with the greets of the case. ' Another interesting case and also -frnc which was rather unusual, owing rto the fact that the defendant was a : .-white woman, was that in which Mrs 31icajah Farnell of Onslow county, -seas on trial under a charge of retailing ' iopirituous liquors without a govern xasst license. In this case the jury xeturned a verdict of guilty but owing to extenuating circumstances Judge Connor suspended judgment and dis- jniased the action.

DUFFY TALKS Urges City and County To Get Get Man Who Will Proper ly Attend to His Work. The meeting of the Sanitary Com- -" mittee of the Chamber of Commerce " last night was one of the most interest- .;; ing of the several meetings' of different ,i co n mittee of this organization held., j during the week and will probably result in the improvement of the sani tary condition of this city and Craven county as a whole. The meeting was presided over by ,t Dr. R. N. Duffy, chairman of the com-'' mittee, and he led in the various dis cussions. Dr. Dutty spoke at length , on the sanitary condition of the city and county. He said that despite the fact that the city had a port officer and . a milk and meat inspector and the coun ty a health officer that the sanitary- conditions werj far from what they should be. Dr. Duffy said that there was evident ly some cause for this and attributed -it .to the fact that the men who held these offices were not paid a salarjr sufficient to justify them to devote their ntire time to the work. He said that in his opinion the city and county should engage the services of a man who could give his entire time to the work and to pay him a salary which would enable him to do this. "This man" he said "should examine the schools of the city and county, inspect the markets and in fact see that the sani tary conditions are kept up to the stan dard." After the members of the committee had considered and discussed Dr. Duffy's remarks, the following reso lutions were drawn up: " RESOLVED :-That the Health and Sanitary Committee of the Chamber of Commerce beg to call the attention ID Of of the County Board of Health of S Craven county, to existing sanitary ' g-t conditions of the city and county which . ff,'. are said to be very unsanitary, and v:Jf request that they investigate and de- y.;'.: vise such measures that they deem best , for their improvement. i,, RESOLVED :-That these resolutions ; ', be printed and a copy of the same be . sent to the Board of Health." Anothar matter which came up for ' ; discusion was that of the violation- by -v., soda fountain owners of the ordinance .v.--;'' passed a year or more ago relative to '- ' I the washing and disenfecting of the .';- -glasses -used at their fountains. For( a time after this ordiance was passed the s' S;?K soaa fountain owners complied witn $ it but later pn the majority of them f?$'fc ceased to comply with the require- ;S;V ments. -''?-$-.' ' tOne local druggist was present and 'i-l v; he cited .Occasions wher- the Tallufe?' to wash and disenfect glasses endangere, ;:' f' the health ,.of the community. The ; . V committee will endeavor to have this ordinance enforced. : ' '' . l'f't'Xy-- Owing to the tact that Dn Duffy war called away just at this time a ; recess' was taken until 1 some . future T: 'r,i date. v , AN INFORMAL TEA. .
