ARMY CANTEEN MUST GO.

Beer drinking at army posts is
to be abolished. Tue House has
so voted, and so has the Senate,
and the terms of each provision
are alike, aud they are broad and
positive. "The sale of or dealing
in beer, vino or any intoxicating
liquors by any person in any post,
exchange or canteen or army
transport, or upon aay premises
used for military purposes by the
United S ates, is hereby prohib-
ited.' There are no loophoIes
in that provision. The .cauteen
must 60 in response to public
sentiment. The women did it.
And yet it is doubtful indeed
whether it will lessen the evil of
drinking among the soldiers of
the army, for every post will at
once be hedged about by gregg.
cries that are ten times worse
than any canteen eyer was. It
municipalities in which posts
are located would drive such
places at least a half mile away
there would then be some benefit
in the provision abolishing the
canteens: bat as long as every
town and locality favors the es>
adjustment of drinking places
about army posts nc benefit can
well arise.
The women who have striven
long and d~evotedly for this VIC
tory can claim that the "principal"
of prohibition has been INDICATED;
that the people at large are no
longer responsible for excessive
drinking at army posts; but the
vindication Of a principle does not
in itself lessen drunkenness. 1t
will not in this case.
The vote in the Senate was 81
to Is. The minority had no re-
laiion to parties. General Hawley
of Connecticut and General p titus
voted side by side, and Mr..
Spooner of Wisconsin voted with
our senior Senator.

LONDON Is VERY GLOOMY.
BOer Victories Make the British
Think the Situation Worse

London, Jan. 15.-History
fails to furnish a parallel to the
Beer invasion of Cape Colony. A
whole month has elapsed since
the republicans crossed the Ors
auge river, and still Great Brit
ala knows next to nothing at
their numbers, Whereabouts or
doings, and still less of the OBJ
jact of the inroad. the only
hing known with toleraole GER
tainry is that they are progress
lag southwark, over soue spars.
ly inhabited tracts, where they
escape observation. Other large
bodies are traversing the very
heart of the colony. The only
logical explanation seems to be
forms part of a great, organized
scheme of that Napoleon of the
War, General D Wet, to strike
terror in the British colony,
which unquestionably, is nearly
denuded OF troops, and tru t to
the chapter Of accidents to
achieve such success as will en-
able the Beers to almost dictate
the terms of peace. The halting
policy of the invaders, however,
seems tie threaten to defeat their
| aims and has enabled the hastily
enrolled levies to volunteer to
occupy vital strategic points,
while there are soma signs that
the gathering of troops in the
rear of the burghers is begin
ming to press them southwark

attempting to drive them back

Daily Argus Of Tuesday.

Daily Argus Of Tuesday.
This fifteenth day of January,
nineteen hundred and ono, is a
memorable day in the good old
county of Wayne.
For a century the name of
Aycock has been a prominent and
honorable one in Wayne county,
and as generation after generation
has passed away they have left to
their p%osterlty the precious and
priceless legacy of a good name.
During all these years many
prominent positions have besn
filled by men bers Of the Aycock
family, and they have always been
filled with mark=d ability ard ab-
solute integrity.

B. Aycock was for a great many
years Clerk of the Superior Court

E. Aycock, brother of the Cow
ernor, is at present State Senator,
a position which he has filled be-
fore with marked ability. At all
times, in season and out of season,
"Ben Aycock," as his friends love
to call HIM, has labored for good
government in North Carolina; a
fine campaigner; few men, if any,
in the State have done more for the
Earty, or made more votes for

Able, honest, courageous, a good
business man, he has the confidence
of the people.
The career Of Charles B.
Aycock has been a remarkable
one. From his early manhood he
has taken the deepest interest in
politics and has been active in ev-
cry campaign, Notwithstanding
this fact, however, he has made
himself a great lawyer.
Only a man of extraordinary
ability could do this. Tue active
politician is usually inactive in
everything save politics.
As United States District At
torney, Charles Aycock conducted
the affairs of his Office in such a
manner that men of all parties
had entire confidence in him both
as a public officer and as a man.
As Chairman of the Board of
Trustees of the Graded Schools of
Goldsboro, he has done a work,

tons of his people, Charles Brant-
ley Aycock enters upon the duties
and responsibilities placed in his
