dark-minded and mysterious I did feel, to
be sure.
Then I placed a dime on the tray and
pushed the button again. The elevator
sank out Of sight in a jiffy, and 1 saw
that the shaft of this alcoholic elevator
was carefully boarded up. In moment
1t came back. bearing big water glass full
Of pale, yellow fluid that looked danger

sip and for a moment thought I had been
poisoned For the new con liquor In
the glass had that genial, warming effect
on the throat so characteristic Of chemt-
cally pure carbolic acid, and tasted whole

is the name they give that kind Of stuff
down here.
All Of the tigers are not by any means
as elevatored and elaborate as the one at
Hamlet. Some are just a hole in some
body's wood shed, or the fiat surface Of
a good-sized stump. You drift up to the
tiger, armed with Jug and "foah bits -
leave the jug and the money there, and
retire to the woods for brief space. When
you come back the money will be gone
and the jug loaded.
And loaded is a good word in the right
place The brand Of blockade goods sold
by the tigers throughout North Carolina

STAY IN LEXINGTON
FINE WELCOME AT THE LITTLE
NORTH CAROLINA CITY.

The Lexington IN. c. Dispatch had this
to say of the flyer:
Monday night at little after 8 o'clock
a special train Of three cars arrived in
Lexington from Washington, d. c.. and
points enroute. carrying exhibits Of lead
ing Washington business houses and the
representatives Of number Of business
firms 1t was a brand-new idea Of adver-
Using and caught our business men at
once. They left several orders with vari-
Gus statesmen aboard the train.
This special is sent out under the aus
pieces of The Washington Star, and it's pur-
pose Is to carry the news to North Caro-
lima, Virginia, West Virginia and Mary
land that Greater Washington has deter
mined to have a share Of the business OF
these states That the special will accom-
plish its mission is plain. The impression
prevails that the city of Washington Is the
capital Of the country and nothing more. or
a place where people live a few months
in the year and where there is very little
business Of the manufacturing or wholesale
kind. This train will dispell that idea
wherever it goes. Washington is trade
center and is determined to be a still great
err one. Some of our business men gave
their first order to a Washington house on
Monday night.
Many Visitors.
large number Of people visited the
train and were pleasantly received. The
gentlemen in the special are as good an
advertisement as the literature and ex-
hibits.
Among others aboard was Mr.. H. c. c..
Stiles Of the Maurice Joyce Engraving
Company, firm that furnishes the Dis
patch with all its cuts. Others were Mr..
E. w. Macintosh, travelling salesman for
the r. P. Andrews Paper Company; T.. 1.
Donnelly, one of the proprietors Of the
Washington Dairy Company; Fred Plugge.
representing the Washington Tobacco
Company; William P. Van Wickle man.
ager of the Smith Piano Company: E. c..
Becker, the Smith Piano Company; T. l..
Townsend, the National Electrical Supply
Company, H. M. Miles and others.
Mr.. John L. Tucker is accompanying the
train as business representative Of The
Star. and Mr.. l. c. Norwood is the general
staff correspondent who Is doing the press
agent stunts. The most interesting fact
about the train is that The Washington
Star is sending it out and paying for it.

The official title of the head of the
British Empire, as attached to an official
proclamation recently issued, is: Edward
VII, by the Grace Of God Of the United
Kingdom Of Great Britain and Ireland
and of the British Dominions beyond the
Seas. King, Defender Of the Faith, Em-
peror of India"
The empire over which the possessor
of this impressive title reigns comprises
a vast extent OF the worlds territory. It
includes colonies and dependencies so
widely scattered that il is said the "sun
never sets on British soil" It's subjects
number 52O00,OO0 in Europe, more than
3OOOOOO0O In Asia, 100000 in Africa
more than 100000 in Australia, and
nearly 100000 in America.
The "iaith" of which this ruler of a
mighty empire is "defender" includes
people of various denominations. There
arc 20S,0O0000 Of Hindus, 94O00.O0O of
Mohammodans. 5SOO0.0O0 Of Christians.
i2OO0,0OO of Buddhists, and $4,000 900
Of various pagan and non-Chrstian re-
hgions, including Parsees, Sillhs, Jains,
Jews and Coniucians.
But defending the faith is probably
the least exacting Of the official duties
devolving upon tho head Of this great
empire.

There is talk at Washington to the
effect that President Roosevelt has trans
ferred his affections from Secretary of
state Elihu Root to "Uncle Joe" Cannon.
Speaker Of the House of Representatives.
and will favor the latter for the Repub-
lican nomination for President in 1908.
Undoubtedly "Uncle Joe. despite his
autocratic enforcement of the "Recd
rules" by which the House Of Represen-
tatives is gagged and fettered is one of
the most popular men that ever welded
tho Speakers gavel. lie is held in re-
spect and admiration by all the members
Of the House, and popularity with the
members of the House of Representatives
goes a long way towards popularity with
tho people Of the country The news
paper men at Washington are also very
fond Of Uncle Joe, and this means
much, as it is proof positive that he is
the right sort of man, despite the poll
tical sins he may be guilty Of
Speaker Cannon, therefore. might prove
strong candidate for tho Republican
party in the next national campaign
But it is a mistake to claim that he has
the favor of President Roosevelt for this
distinction. Evidences multiply that an
other aspirant enjoys the favor of the
President, and that the initials OF his
name are "r. r.. not 81. c."

Recently we alluded 20 the iaci THAT
Wilmington was gaining n mcnviahle
notorely as a Gretna Green for clipping
couples from other localities. who are
attracted here by the facility with which
licenses are obtained and marriages per-
formed lt would seem, therefore. that
the subject of care and circumspection
in the matter Of marriages, which is re-
ceiving attention in other places, should
appeal with especial force to the people
OF this city
At meeting OF clergymen Of various
evangelical churches held in Portland,
recently, a committee was appointed to
secure the assent Of as many Christian
ministers as possible throughout the
State Of Maine to a set of rules on divorce
and remarriage These rules are not TO
be binding upon those who accept them,
or such as they approve, but to be fol-
lowed as the common practice They
are as follows:
Ito use great care before solemniz-
ing any marriage lest the parties seek
20 enter that relation unadvisedly or
lightly and so lessen the probable NUM-
Der of divorces.
2-Io refuse to solemnize marriage
when both parties are strangers TO the
minister without satisfactory introduc-
tion.
SO refuse 10 remary any divorced
person unless the certificate of divorce
is produced
4-To make il as difficult as possible
for the guilty divorced person to enter
again into the sacred relationship OF mar
riage
5-To refuse 20 remarry any divorced
person II IL be known that tho divorce
was granted where the domicile was only
temporary to obtain the divorce
6-Io refuse TO remarry any divorced
person il 1t be known that the divorce
was granted solely upon default or with
only formal hearing TO cover the law.
TO refuse to remarry any divorced
person within one year after the granting
of the divorce.
S-Io refuse 10 remarry any divorced
person except the innocent party where
the divorce was granted for the cause of
adultery, or the reunion Of those divorced.
The first Of these rules ought to meet
with hearty approval among the ministers
Of Wilmington. Certainly no minister
Of the gospel should desire to perform
the marriage ceremony except in cases
where not the romotest objection may
be urged against the propriety OF the pro-
ceeding Marriage is one of the gravest
steps in life, and so much of good or evil
follows in its train, that those vested
with the authority TO perform the cere-
mony should take time to consider what
the act they are called upon to do may
result in and refuse TO sanction any union
which does not promise at the time to
result in lasting benefit to the parties
concerned.
AZ any rate, it viii do no harm for all
interested to read the rules adopted by
the Maine preachers and TO make them
the subject Of careful consideration.

"soeolal PRIVILEGES 10 Mono. ,,

President Roosevelt is receiving high
praise and dcscrvcdly so. for his plain
talk to the organized labor delegation
which called upon him at the White House
last week, 20 complain that organized
labor was not receiving its "just due"
in the shape of favorable legislation hy
Congress The President did not adopt
the brusque directness OF Speaker Cannon,
also the recipient Of the delegations
attention who bluntly informed them
that they "were not the whole shooting
match but he gave them some whole
some truths and pointed out the un-
reasonablencss OF their demands. which,
If complied with, would constitute a
grant Of special privileges far greater than
those ever conferred upon any body of
supplcants for governmental favor.
One cannot help, in this connection.
rejecting upon what would have been
the Presidents reply to such a delegation
had the call been made about the middle
of the last campaign for the Presidency.
Certainly, Chairman Corteyou of the Re
publican National Committee would not
have talked TO a labor delegation as the
President talked TO the delegation that
called upon him the other day Perhaps
the Presidents answer would have been
altogether different also. If not, then
certain ante-election arrangements which
turned out so successfully in the way Of
votes for the President on election day
might have sadly miscarricd.
However this may be, the President
deserves all the praise that has been be-
slowed upon him for his firm stand in OPP
position TO special privileges to organized
labor Now, let him take an equally
firm stand against special privileges to
other interests. Let him set his face
resolutely against the special privilege
of ship subsidies Let him become a
leader in the great fight against that most
vicious of all forms of special privilege
through legislation the protective tariff
Then his attitude will be consistent, and
not one of discrimination. Let him
endeavor to make effective the familiar
demand Of political platforms for "Equal
rights to all; special privileges to none"

There is report to the effect that the
young colored man who is drawing salary
as clerk to tho city treasurer but per-
forming no duties because of his inability
TO do the work of the office, would
like to resign but is dissuaded from so
doing by his father, who is a member of
City Council and the six Democratic
members of that body. If there is truth
in this report, il indicates a combination
between the Democratic members of City
Council and their colorcd colleague which
may have something more than the re-
tention Of this Office as it's object. AZ
any rate, 1t is am imposition on the public.
