went 'to Raleigh with him.
President Hix, has been' down to
MOrehead City, for the . purpose ' of
making an inspection of the road ly

and also to look at the bridge connec
tion Beaufort j with". Morehead -City,
While in conversation .with. a'Jou.-nal-
reporter ',: yesterday afternoon,; , Presi
dent Hicks -..'stated "l( that the Norfolk
Southern was payings a great deal of
attention to this section and that they
were endeavoring" to. give- the people
the besi service possible t . -
.In speaking of the bridges along the
road he, stated,, that; several, of them
were pretty lightly constructed for the
ivy trains which .the -company-, is
planning to run and" it is probable that
mapping out some changes to be mad
preparatory to the encampment there
this summer of the State troops.
Among the changes to be mad at
Camp Glenn will he the removs
of the.old mess hall to a location, which
is now located further down Hi
railroad track and this will be used
as a wagon house in which will be plac
ed the .seventeen wae.ins allotted to
each regiment.
A new mess hall, which will be (ar
ger and better equipped than the 'one
previously used, is to be erected. In
this each company will have a separate
compartment and it is believed that
this will prove more satisfactory in
every way. The dates set for the 6n
campment ol the diherent division
of the- State troops have been announ
ced and are. as follows: Third Regiment
at Camp Glenn July 5 to 15; First
Regiment, at Camp Glenn, July 20 to
30, the Third Regiment also goes ta
Charlston S. C, in August. The Coast
Artillery goes to Fort Caswell on Aug
5 and the Field Hospiti! Corps and the
Ambulance Company No. 1. rocs to
Asheville. The Calvary will go to Cha
rleston. WHAT DR. WILEY THINKS
OF ALCOHOL
(Contributeed.)
Dr. Harvey W. AViley, writing to
the Sunday School Times, says that
by consulting large numbers of acting
practitioner it u ascertained that
brandy and whiskey are rarely found
at the present time in the prescrip
tions of the most progressive physiT
cians. Aside from the general prac
tice of medicine and as to the general
trend of scientific thought on this
question, Dr. Wiley says: "In my op
inion -the great weight of scientific evi
dence and the force of scientific opin
ion at "the present time lead to the" con
clusion that alcohol in its various forms
is 4 an unmitigated evil. Personally
I -would be glad to see nation-wide
and .-world-wide - prohibition. While
I a'm not a teetotaler,' I am a probition
ist,. I am firmly convinced that the
evils produced by alcohol so far out
weigh any , of its supposed advantages
as. to" lead logically to but one conclur
sloa,' namely, the absolute prohibition
of Tthe Use' of alcohol for any but in
dustrial purposes."
these will be rebuilt. . ' ' ' ' " " '

ADVERTISED
EXTENSIVELY
Norfolk Southern Conductor Was
Among Those Who Were
"Stung"
Raleigh, April 2. Indictments have
be?n returned by the Federal Grand
Jury in a Birmingham Court against
men said to be officials in a concern
known as the Standard Home Company
an organization whifh is alL-ged to
do a fraudulent business. Advertise
ments of the company have appeared
in it least one North Carolina daily
paper that leing the Washington Daily
News, and at least one man in this
State is said to have been swindled
out of a comfortable sum as a result
of the activities of this concern.
Agents Arrested
This man is Captain R. I.. Snyder a
conductor on the Norfolk Southern
Railroad, and he says that he can fur
nish the names of scores of people
who have shared a fat ? similiar to his.
Agents of the Birmingham concern
have been doing business in this State
it is said, and Insurance Commissioner
James R. Young states that two of
these have been arrested. One man
was a.rested at High Point and ano
ther at Roanoke Rapids, and one of
these was sentenced to the roads,
while the other gave bond and disap
peared. Did Big Business
From information at hand it sterns
that the majority of the people said
to have been caught by the Standard
Home Company live in and about
Washington N C, it being supposed
that they were inhYcnct-d ly an adver
tisement which the Washington Daily
News, in all good faith, published
through its columns through a short
period of time. Upon learning of the
doubtful nature of the advertisement
which they were carrying, the pub
lication started an invensligation and
found that the business was open to
question. - The paper forewith re
turned the check sent by the com pat JT
to pay, for the advertisement,
i ' How The Plan Works
s Insurance Commissioner Young is
authority for the statement that his
sffice is frequently in receipt of letters
lirom people .in various parts of the
Sate asking about the Standard Hume
Company, and that he is trying to
prevent the organization from doing
business in this State. He sys that
the concern operates on i bais simil
iar, in some respects, to a building and
loan association. Alter a certain a
mount of money has been paid in the !
organization, the shareholder is ele-
gible to receive n loan of 81,000 from
th.; company. By some hook or crook,
the innocent shareholder is never al
lowed to get this loan, but, unless he
becomes aware of the scheme, is con
stantly urged to continue his payments
with the hope of securing s methinj;
in the future.
The indictment is brought by the
Federal grand jury ift the Alabama
courts is lor using the mails to de-
friud," and fo- "running i lottery."
The Searchlight, a paper published in '
Birmingham, is, according to the Was
hington Daily News, responsible for
the turning on of the light in the case,
and that pubjication carries a lengthy
articel on the methods employed by
the concern in transacting business.
