NOT TO RE REMOVED.

Recent published rumors that Public
Printer Stillings had diSpleased the Pres
ident and was to be supplanted was the
occasion yesterday for the issuance OF a
statement complimentary to Mr.. Still
lings by Secretary Loeb.
"The President has not the faintest
idea of displscing Mr.. Stllings," said
Secretary Loeb. "It follows as matter
of course that in bringing order out of
the utter chaos that had existed 10 the
government printing office q certain
amount of ill-feeling would be aroused
on the part of the disgruntled employees.
The President feels that Mr.. Stillings has
discharged his duties with courage, eff
cheney and honesty, and that he has
now put the Office on thoroughly bust
nesslike and economical basis. Instead
of being criticised Mr.. Stillings is en-
titled to or ct credit for what he has &C
complained, and he continues to have
the Presidents entire confidence"

is not wrong. Is the saloon q cause.
or an effect? Saloons exist because
men drink. Let the prohibitionists
who would reform the drunkard stop
drinking with him.
The consensus of opinion Of the
best and strongest minds is that high
license is the best system OF regula-
ton; that prohibition IS wrong N
principle and contrary 10 the funda-
mentals of our system OF govern
ment. ,
PEOPLE WILL LOSE HOMES
With a successful prohibition cleo
ton the money market will become
tight, outstanding loans will be call
ed in. and values will depreciate TO
such an extent that those people who
are on the borrowing list will not De
able to renew present loans, and will
probably not be able to secure new
ones. What will be the result? More
poor people will lose their homes
through foreclosure and turn out TO
be confirmed drunkards than there

Rev. Richard Wainwright Barber
died at his home near Wilkesboro.
The Patriot in reporting his death,
says:
Mr.. Barber was born in Rowan
county June Is, 1923, and was, there
fore, "a years and six months Of age.
His early training was in the best pri-
Vate schools Of Rowan county and un-
der Bishop Davis at Salisbury. He at
forwards completed the course at Vale
Crucis, Wataugl county, then a high
class Episcopal school for young men
He served his diaconate near Plymouth
under DR.. Watson, who afterwards be-
came the first bishop Of Eastern North
Carolina.
MI. Barber was the second rector OF
st. Paul's Episcopal church at this
place, serving continuously from 1853
to 1895, when feeble health compelled
him to resign. Several times during
the latter part of his ministry he ten
dered his resignation on account %
i'll health, but the yestrv prevailed upon
him to continue work.

sic Last Might
Arrested Young Man for Firing
Crackers n He Resisted Arrest
and Escaped-PistOl Taken From
Him and He VIII Have to Answer to
Two Serious Charges

The only untoward incident in con-
nection with the rather lively Christ
mas I'VE celebration on the down town
streets last night occurred about II
o'clock on the corner Of Front and
I Market streets, the center Of noise and
excitement, when Mr.. Will Watson,
a we'll known white man, who had
been placed under arrest by Officer
Leon George on the charge Of shoot
ing fire crackers of a greater length
than the law allows, resisted arrest
by that officer and also oyercame the
efforts of another officer who had
rushed in to his assistance and made
his escape dow Front street, disap-
pearing in the alley by Jacobs hard
ware store which reads to Water
| street.
Watson is a powerful man and his
efforts alone might la been success
full against the officers, but he was
assisted in his attempt to escape it is
said by the great crowd gathered on
the corner who surrounded the police

u~navoidably getting in their way and
one actually tripping the officer, this
latter a man by the name Of O'Neill
having subsequently been placed I'M
der arrest.
A pistol it is stated vas taken from
Watson when first arrested and be-
fore he had succeeded in making his
his escape, he having struggled from
the corner to Holmes Grocery Com
pany's store where he broke loose and
was hurried away.
Watson. if he is called for trial in
the mayors court will nave to stand
for Judgment on two serious charges,
those Of resisting an officer and of car
rying concealed weapons.
The merits of last nights trouble.
at least to one person, will not be
discussed, but it is only fair to the
members of the police force to say that
they have been extremely lenient iii
their handling of the holiday crowds
and they have avoided, seemingly as
far as possible, having to make any
arrests, considering evidently hat the
season was one. when a national eX-
huberance of spirits could be expected.
Frequently when the popping Of crack
ers and shooting Of rOman candles and
other fireworks on the principal streets
became so general that it was not only
unpleasant but also unsafe to pedeS-
trains they have acted generously to.
ward the crowds and have appealed to
them to be less demonstrative. It can
not doubted that in many instances
their good nature has been imposed

THE SOUTH & WESTERN 4. R.
Man of Great Coal Road Believed
in This City
The Road Being Built at an Average
Cost OF ~S125,OOO a Hile-Wilming-
ton Will be Greatly Benefited When
New Territory is Opened ND.

An interesting map was displayed
yesterday afternoon al he rooms Of the
Chamber of Commerce in this city,
| yesterday afternoon at the rooms of
and Western railroad which is now in
course of construction from Elkhorn,
Kentucky, to Spartanburg, S. c., and
traversing some of the richesl coal
fields in Kentucky and Tennessee.
At Bostic, in this state, a station sit
uated a few miles south of Ruther-
fordton, a connection is made with the
Seaboard Air Line and Wilmington
will, therefore, be directly benefited
by the road.
At Elkton connection is made with
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad aud
this will give Wilmington a shorter
and more direct route to Chicago than
that Of any southern port. AS a re-
suit Of this connection it is expected
too that great benefit will accrue to
this city.
The entire distance of the new road
from Elkton to Spartanburg, is 284
AAC oA1d ~ IN1 III vi LILLE ~ ~
der construction about Il hundred m1les
of rails having been laid.
The new road is probably one OF the
most costly ever built in this country,
its average cost per mile being about
$125.G0O. On she entire system So
pound rail is being used and the track
will be stone ballasted it's whole length.
The primary purposes OF the road
uf%acturers throughout North and South
Carolina, and to reach southern ports
where shipments can be made. AS to
tho amount of business that will be
handled through the port of Whining
ton it is stated that it is not possible
to put n estimate On the tonnage,
but most assuredly all the coal will
be put here that can be placed to ad-
vantage. The upbuilding of a great
coal exporting business is then seen to
be one Of the things which Wilmington
business men must undertake if they
would REAP the advantages that will
follow such dn effort.
In a personal letter to Mr.. w. 6.
Worth, t. whom the map was sent,
very interesting information concern
ing the great new road was given and
it. seems certain that Wilmington will
share in the great business to be hand
led by the opening up OF the immense
coal fields.
