1t is reported that S. Ohio Wilson has
moved his sowpaw factory from Johnston
into Wake. The good people of the rural
districts in Wake do not wish the de-
moralizing influence of Sotho's or any
body else's stills in their neighborhood
to corrupt and debauch the people. A
little still-whether licensed TO sell or
not-in the country is the enemy Of vir
tue and good government.

ton of any law or custom of war or of the

The matter having been referred to the
War Department, the Secretary of War re-
piled through Lieut. Col. William Ennis
assistant adjutant general. that there is
nothing in the character of this inquiry to
bring it within the exception of S47, army
regulations, but In view of the statement
that there is a well-circulated opinion
among officers that 1t is not permissible to
grind sabers when fighting a civilized
enemy and Of the delay that would be
caused by returning the paper to be for
warded through military channels, Captain
Eltinge may be informed that in the opinion
of the judge advocate general, In which he
(the Secretary concurs. the sharpening OF
sabers is not a violation Of the laws OF

have been accepted by the United States,
