Couldn't Find Steam Distiileries.

One of the most brazen of revenue
Irregularities in Wilkes was exposed
fully, as readers of the News and OBJ
server will remember, by the sermon
of a Wilkesboro preacher, in which
he stated that there We're three steam
distilleries running in defiance of law
in the county, and that if the revenue
officers were not able to discover them
although the road was as broad as
a -pike-he would lead them to
the place in person. Even that bold
accusation did not disturb either dis
tilIers or revenue deputies until the
News and Observer published the
whole matter when, after a delay of
d week or ten days, a spectacular raid
was made by the officers, who report
ed, naturally, that they found nothing.
Still, engine and boiler had all been
removed before the raid, which start

court sits, it is up to Mr.. Davis to
take his OATH
The strange part of the Davis Incl
dent, however, is that while he lost
his place as deputy collector under
the government on the bringing of
the charges against him, in practice
he still holds the position. Another
man has the title, but it is said that
Davis gets practically all the salary,
attending to all the duties of the
Office as he did before and RELOCATING
to the Deputy Collector, his successor,
only the duty of occasional trips of
inspections which are void of discov-

ANENT SUNDAY
PERFORMANCES
The Dramatic Mirror Does Not
Approve Western Fashion.

So HE question Of Sunday perform.
ances in the theaters Is nova
days often discussed by innu-
entail newspapers In the east,
whore such performances are rare or
altogether unknown and prohibited,
and the better sentiment invariably
seems to be against opening the thea
tiers on Sunday on any pretext. In
many cities In the West, where sunday
performances have long been regular
ly given the Sunday theater has come
70 be recognized as something Of an
institution although the better class
Of actors and companies steadily re-
frain from appearing on Sundays, even
In the large cities where q large part Of
the theater public expects 10 enjoy the
play on that day,
Sunday performances were introduced
IN the west years ago and gradually
gained q hold on the population because
originally they were demanded by a
large number Of the settlers from for
eign countries, where the idea as to
Sunday observance IL quite different
from that Of PuritIn origin. The people
OF western cities today that enjoy the
theater on Sunday may be no different
in essential matters Of morality than
the average people I'm the East, who do
not favor the opening Of theaters gem
orally on Sunday and who would not IN
a mass patronize Sunday performances
It Is true that there Is IN New York
as there Is In other large Eastern cities
IA large element Of foreign birth or
with training from parents born
abroad, that wants sunday amusement
IN the thoater and 10 this class the
Sunday performances now given, In
the gulse Of concerts" are pleasing,
while such performances are no doubt
absolutely harmless TO those 10 whom
they appeal. II may be said also that
the general observance Of Sunday In
the East, and particularly I'm New York
(the question Of the theater asde) is
FAR different from former conduct gen.
orally on that day Sports Of various
kinds are practlsed I'm most suburban
places, admission fees "a some Of the
