MULE DRUNK ON CORN WHISKY

Animal Drinks Booze and Becomes
Festive.
Americus boasts the only mule that
every really got braying drunk, and
this jagged brunette warbler from the
gsllberry patches made Lee street
lively for time yesterday. The owner
of this "Maude" bought jug of the
oil of JOY early in the day and deftly
tucked it away under bundles of oats
in his wagon, brought to town for
Maud's dinner. In some way the corn
cob stopper came out of the jug and
the booze spread overall the oats.
"Maud" absorbed both oats and q1id
corn, got 'bllin' drunk and created
whole circus ere the abashed "Si"
could seltzerize and quiet her.

front line with a woman who is the
mother of twenty four living children,
all as black as herself and happy withal.
OF this bunch of two dozen there are
six sets of twins-a condition, truly,
calculated to make President Roose-
welt smile in genial appreciation. But
there is another side of the story. This
old woman, Sallie Gray, is an Inmate of
Sumter oounty's poorhouse. despite the
presence of twentyfour sons and
daughters on the outside, some of
whom, it seems, might help her in her
declining years. SaIlle Gray is sixty
years old and has been in the poor
house here for eighteen years, and will
probably end her career there.

SHARKS THAT FEED ON POOR.
Bank Examiner Ellington Gathering
Information About Certain
Loan Offices.

Especial to News and Observer
Charlotte, n. c., Feb. 2.--J. O. Ell
'ington, State bank examiner, was in
Charlotte this morning, and while
here gathered some important infor-
nation in regard to the operations of
certain loan offices, one especially
that is now in the pubic eye.
Mr.. Ellington tells your correspond
ent that the large cities OF North
Carolina and also South Carolina,
have offices that are fiourishing at the
expense of the poorer classes. Char
Iotte, he says, is no exception; Will
mington has number; SO has RAJ
eigh Greensboro, Winston salem and
other towns.
1t Is the purpose of the present
Legislature, so Mr.. Ellington says, to
frame a bill that will deal directly
with these money sharks. Hereto
fore the State laws have not been
people of the loan Office cannot come
posts would not justify the name of
bank. This is one Of the loon holes
through which these men escape the
law.
Mr.. Ellington, like many others who
are converSant with the facts, thinks
the local authorities should not wait
for a State law to stop the robbery of
the people, but should enact such or
dinances as will compel the loan
offices in which such fragrant viola
ton of the law are practiced to smut
up shop.

MIR. PAGES MISTAKE.

II is almost impossible for Mr.. Hen
~ a. Page to make a speech without
taking a fling at The News and Obscr-
YER. In his speech yesterday, while
giving The Old Reliable" a good free
advertisement, Mr.. Page made the
mistake of saying that though the cir
culation of The News and Observer
had grown from 1900 in 1894 to TO-
COO in 1905, it had not reduced its
subscription price. In 1894 the sub
scription price Of The News and OBJ
server was seven dollars per year; to-
day it is six dollars. Further reduc-
ton in price cannot be made because
the freight rate on paper from the
North has been increased and the
paper trust (protected by this Repub-
iican admin stration) has put up the
price of the white paper it consumes
at least $4,000 a year.
Besides, Mr.. Page, the News and
Observer has been given no right of
eminent domain and railway organs
are put on its track to try to destroy
*. But it goes ahead in spite Of their
smoke and Mr.. Pages whacks.

PROHIBITION VS.. SALOONS.
Greensboro and Charlotte Compare
Conditions During Two Januarys.

January, 1904, under saloons and
January, 1904. under prohibition are
Interestingly compared by the Green's
boro and Charlotte papers. Here are
the results:
Greensboro: While there We're two
more arrests for all crimes during
January, 1905. than for the came
month last year. there were only II
arrests for drunkenness this January,
against 81 in 1904. This shows that
the arrests for drunkenness have been
decreased by two thirds. There were
10 arrests for running blind tigers, the
reason given for this large number
being that a raid was made upon those
boozing kenS last month.
Charlotte: This city makes a bet
ter showing under prohibition than
does Greensboro. January 1904, there
were committed 166 crimes of all
kinds in Charlotte. while during the
month which ended Tuesday there
We're 70 crimes OF all kinds. There
was also an increase of blind tigers,
but q decrease in drukenness, as in
Greensboro.
