One of the principal attractions of the
street is E. E. Davis & Cos. Christmas
windows. They are as brilliant as an
autumn foliage scene. The artist who
arranged them deserves special praise.
The enterprise of the firm who do honor
to Water street by such gorgeous dis
play of all that is stylish and beautiful
in Clothing and gents furnishings, de-
serves patronage and commentator. The
patronage they are having and the people
who in passing suddenly stop to admire
is the best kind of commentator and ap-
probation, but while admiring the artis-
tic effect, remember how many different
articles of beauty, it was necessary to
have in stock to produce such an effect.
You surely will want to step into such a
store and select many of your choice
presents. Neckwear and furnishings are
almost bewildering in their profusion and
variety. The stately looking bath robes.
elegant and stylish smoking jackets, are
an important part of this rare exhibit.
The only way to even mention the goods
you need to see is TO simply give list
of a few. gloves of all kinds. ladies and
gents caps, Tams particularly, and the

North Carolina, one cannot be unmind

Commonwealth and the hope of the
large M )rity of her citiz n to be de

zen. We have no desire bu5 TO honor

to pass that they may keep school
longer and prepare themselves better;
but it we're idle-n7t to say PREACHER

are in every respect far from what
they must be. At present the teach
ers and schools alike are aff1icted by
politics and poverty, two of the worst
h~indrances to good work, WI do not
hesitate to declare that the schools
must be removed from politics, and
that the people must get willing to tax
themselves more for the maintenance
of them We wish the political party
lea 1ers would get together and arrange
a non partisan movement along this
line; and as for the other, there are
some men in Moth Carolina honest

enough to continue to exhort the PEG
pie to Local Tax alton, even though
they forfeit their friends and lnh n

THE HOUSE COMMITTEE.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July "a cor.
respondent OF The Voice says that a
report has list been fled in the House
by the Committee on Alcoholic Liquor
Traf3 which directly takes issue with
the apologists of the canteen fraud in
the army and at soldiers homes. The
report was accompanied by the E lis
bill, which was introduced last winter
for the purpose of prohibiting the sale
Of liquors on government reservations.
The report says:
"Y )ur committee have reached the
unanimous conclusion that but few
if any reasons exist why the lifted
States government should engage in
the liquor trafi3, even to the extent Of
legahzing or permitting the sale of in,
t~oXicauts within its immigrant stations,
soldiers homes, military posts, or any
other buildings under its control, in
GLIDING the capito. Or other govern
ment buildings within the District of
Columbia, or any reservation upon
which any of said building are situa-
ted.
ITO the average mind it sc ems in
consistent that the Congress of the
Uaited States should enact laws pro
hibiting the sale Of intoxicants with
in a certain specified distance of a
school house or church in the District
of Columbia, or within one mile Of the
Soldiers Home of the District, not
withstanding all this painstaking care
on the part of our national lawmakers
it is not necessary to go outside of the
four walls of the building wherein
these laws ara enacted in order to pur
chase any and all kinds Of Intoxicating
liquors. IG may be said by some that
such sales are a violation Of existing
laws. But in order to remove any
doubt that may exist, the American
Congress should not hesitate to pass a
law which would say to country in
no uncertain terms that intoxicants
are not necessary incentives to needed
and wholesome legislation.
The testimony given in the hearing
before the committee will allow US to
reach but one conclusion, and that is
that the so-called 'cantean' system,
adopted by certain soldiers homes and
military posts, is detrimental not
only to the discipline and general well
welfare Of these institutions, but has a
general Damoraliz:ng effect and no
corresponding benefit"
