THEIR PRICES ASToNIsHED
IN ALABAMA ALSO SUSPECTED

Raleigh, N. C., Jan. 16.-John T. Bar bee & Co. of Louisville, wholesale liquor dealers, levied an attachment on the stock of G. w. Lambeth & Co.,, whole sale liquor dealers here, and the sheriff has closed their store. There are further proceedings. which seem to unearth a great conspiracy. It is alleged that the firm was esta blished to defraud liquor houses all over the country. and that it is only one of the number scattered throughout the south in conspiracy of widespread character. Three months ago an application for a city license to sell liquors was made under the name of Broderick, but the license, was issued to Lambeth & co. The firm opened a store and goods poured in by the car load. Advertising was done on liberal scale. Customers were plentiful and the firms prices astonished the retail deal CTS. They sold the finest liquors In quan- titles at half regular prices.
 Big wholesale houses north and west began telegraphing attorneys here re- garding Lambeth, and representatives of the dealers arrived All kept quiet Day before yesterday Lambeth left saying he was going to Greensboro. near which is his home. He told his creditors he had nc money, but would get 1t from friends at Greensboro and from his father. Two creditors went with him to get the money. At Greensboro he told them he would drive to his home, get the money and return yesterday. That was the last they saw of him. L. c. Younger of Rich mond, whose claim is 5000, has levied on the stock. The sheriff found only ten barrels of whisky in the store. It was found that Lambeth usually reshipped whisky as soon as 1t arrived, and per sons in Alabama and at Greensboro are suspected. Lambeth had no state and county licenses. They insisted on ship ping goods at night. It is alleged that Lambeth had at least 100 barrels ship ped to follow him in his flight. Among other claims filed are those of N. M. Uri & Co.,. Grabfelder & Go. and Applegate & Co.,, Louisville; E. A. Saunders & Co.,, Richmond; Brunhild Simon & Co.,, Phil adelphia; Rebstock & Co, St. Louis.
 Warrants were today issued charging Lambeth with disposing of property with intent to defraud.

PRESS COMMENT.

ElDorodo Republican: This looks
very much like it is to be a Kansas
boom year. Everything is looking as
wei! or better than it ever looked be-
fore. Corn and wheat and alfalfa and
oats and grass are growing as they
never grew before; and We are to
have seven years Ofplenty in Kansas.
The time has come and Kansas will
strike the up grade again in all her
strength and glory. Let US stop
grumbling, stop talking politics and
boom Kansas. We did it before and
can do it again.

where men were ruled by king and
no heavenly aspirations to the plant
ing of rose or the training of vine
could enliven their restricted and en-
shaved minds they showed their love
of flowers by making the capitals of
the pillars OF some of the temples in
the form Of the lotus flowers. And
Pharios daughter probably found the
ark of little Moses beneath the over
hanging and protecting leaves and
blossoms of this darling of the Nile.
The path that is bordered with
flowers always tends upwards, and
the tired heart that seeks to rest it
self will find it where the roses are
telling of the love of God and the
lilies of His mercy.
Every home is more hOmelike
where flowers bloom. Their refining
grace impresses itself upon the in
mates and the visitor.
But the mission of this paper is not
to speak of the beauties of flowers
hut of the influence of horticulture
and Of which they are a part, and it
might fail if not applied to our pres
ent and ever present needs.
We can without any far fetched
similee imagine some Ovsr-worked
housewife or daughter where yearn-
ing heart longs for some of the de-
lightful rest and exaltation of soul
that is so wildly portrayed in the
seed catalogues and the rhyming jim
go on "the Poetry of flowers" so often
published but which lie denied them
in their homes, driven from their lives
by the hoggishness of the other dut-
les that we permit to come into our
lives and time to the exclusion of
these more elevating and refining
factors which cost so little and return
so much on the capital invested.
1t is not the cost of flowers that
deters so many from their culture,
but the want of experience in their
care, and the fathers and brothers
who "detest that pattering flower
bed" could add much to the enjoy
ment and education of the home folks
and younger ones by only small out
lay of cheerful assistance and soon
become so enlisted that duty would
turn to a keen sense of pleasure. Try
it if you have never thus experiment.

But if we should attempt to suggest

we are overwhelmed and give up the
