A New Cause for Seizure.

We have heard of many outrageous
things practiced in the name of the
United States government by revenue
agents, but something was done here
last Saturday that beats the record as
far as we have heard. J. B. Field,
deputy collector, seized a barrel of corn
whiskey belonging to Mr.. W. w.
Reavis. upon the grounds that it had
prune juice in it-as he said. The bar
rel was properly stamped, the proof
was all right, and there was no charge
of irregularity alphabetically the
liquor had prune juice in it-put in it
we suppose-if indeed there is any in it
at ALTO give color to it. There was
not enough foreign matter Of any kind
to effect the proof or purity, and those
who have heard Of the transaction are
at at loss to understand the why's and
wherefores of Deputy Collector Field
action.

A Novel and Useful Invention.

Mr.. r. B. Henderson has shown us
one of the most novel and useful devices
in the way of a patent muzzle for
horses and cattle, that we have seen.
1t is so constructed that the animal
can eat grass or clover-anything on
the ground. in fact-but the moment it
raises its head six inches from the
ground the sides come together and it
is impossible to bite blade of corn or
any other article until the mouth is put
to the ground again. With one of these
muzzles on, calf may be turned loose
in the pasture with its mother without
being able to cheat the milk maid in
the least. Thus the necessity of keep
ing the calf up or providing separate
range is done away with This, it
seems to us, is one of the strongest
points in favor Of the thing. Mr.. Hen
derson has exclusive control of the
patent and will sell individual, county
or State rights on very reasonable
terms.

Sabbath-SchOOl Institute.

The first Sabbath-schOol Institute Of
Albemarle Presbytery was held in the
church in our town last
Thursday and Friday. There were about
40 OF As delegates and visitors from
Sabbath-schools present. Three SEES
sions each day were held and discus
sions of very great interest to Sabbath
school workers were listened to. The
speakers were filled with zeal, conse-
Grafton and practical experience of the
work and gave most wholesome coun-
sci concerning the best ways and
means of promoting the great cause in
the interests of which they assem-
bled.
Amongst many others there were
conspicuous for their presence and
deep interest in the proceedings of the
Institute such men as Major Robert
Bingham, principal of Bingham School,
Mr.. Geo. P. Mcneil, cashier of the
Bank of Fayetteville, Capt. William
Black, prominent lawyer of Maxton,
Prof. f. E. Britton, principal Mount
Olive High School, Prof. D. L. Ellis,
principal Nashville High School, Prof.
John E. Kelly, principal Wilson High
School, and Mr.. A. M. McPheeters, of
Raleigh. The following ministers were
present and took part in the proceed
ings of the Institute: Rev. r. p. Pell,
Rev. E. w. Smith, Rev. Jos. Rennie,
Rev. F. II. Johnston, D. D., Rev. H.
G. Hill, D. D., Rev. Carr Moore. and
Rev. Alexander Sprunt.
The programme was an admirable
one and was we'll carried out. Three
of the appointed speakers were absent
on account of sickness. Prof. c. D.
McIver was expected to conduct 1.-The
Model Bible Glass; but was not wei
enough to be present. The topics
were handled by all with great skill
and with extraordinary spiritual fervel
and practical judgment, and every ont
who attended the meetings felt richl.
repaid.
Many of those most experienced il
attending church courts and other reli
gious gatherings, were surprised tt
witness such enthusiasm and life, a
this was the Inauguration of an enter
prise which could scarcely be calle'
more than an experiment at this stag
of it's experience. The Institute prove
to be a great success and every bod
who had anything to do with it wen
home feeling greatly benefited by
we are sure. 1t will be observed ever
year in different parts of the Presby
terry and much good to the Sabbath
school cause is anticipated from it.
The attendance on the part of on
citizens was not what it should hav
been during the early proceedings
the Institute, and much Of genuin
f good was thereby lost, but after til
) first afternoon session the church wa
filled with interested hearers represen
ing all our town congregations an
r many in the country.
1t will be great pleasure to we
come these Christian workers to OF

; hospitality which was so cheerfully o
o fered them.

| the Merchant of Venice, Macbeth and

the Merchant of Venice, Macbeth and
Othello.
After his career in London, which
covered period of twenty-five years.
he sold his interest in the "Globe
Theatre and retired to a house in
Stratford, which he purchased from the
Clopton family, known then as the
ssGreat House, but changed to the
New Place" by Shakespeare himself.
During the nine years spent there with
his family, number of the gentlemen
in the neighborhood enjoyed his ac-
quaintance and friendship. Among
them, one s'Combe,'' a miser, who on
asking Shakespeare what epitaph he
should write Of him if he died. was an
swered in the following ludicrous lines:
"Ten in the hundred lies here engraved,
IT'S hundred to one his soul is not saved !;
If any man ask who lies in this tomb,
Oh no quoth the devil, lis my John-a-
COmbe!'
During his retirement he wrote sew
eral dramas-Twelfth Night considered
the best. He had three children. two
girls and one boy, who died number
of years before his fathers death.
Shakespeare died on the anniversary
of his birthday, April 23rd, 1916, when
he had completed his fifty-second year.
He was buried on the North side Of the
chancel in the great church at STRAIT
ford, where monument is placed in
the wall, on which he is represented in
a sitting posture, cushion spread be-
fore him, a pen in his right hand, and
his left resting on scroll of paper. A
Latin distich is engraved under the
| cushion. and underneath this is found
the following inscription
Read if thou canst whom envious death
hath placed
Within this monument Shakespeare, with
whom
Quick nature died whose name doth deck
the tomb,
Far more than cost since all that he hath
writ,
Leaves living art but page to serve his wit. >
In the last several years, articles
have been written, arguing that 'Shake'
speare" did not write Shakespeare, ,
and deserved not the honor for produc'
ing those lovely mountains of thought
and beauty. This sentiment has beer
