Caught with the goods and with sew
eral negroes lined up in her house for
their Sunday eye-opener. Mary Carter,
of No. 427 West Duval Street. was ar
rested yesterday morring by Policemen
Wiley and Sherry. charged with selling
spirituous liquors on the Sabbath and
without a license. Mary was cornered
like a rat in trap. but her brother,
who shifted the officers even before he
saw them, gathered up as many bottles
as he could hold and made a break for
the back door. He dropped half pint
in his hurry, but didn't stop for that.
He still has enough to start UP another
speakeasy. With quantity of liquor
all she had remaining-the woman was
escorted to the Second Police Station,
where she acknowledged her suilt,
hardly being in position to deny it.
Trailing Them Down.
Officers Wiley and Sherry spent the
day trailing down speakeasies, but
were unable to land others. Of whose
existence. however, they felt assured.
The regular Sunday practice of break
ing up blind tigers has put the proprle-
tors in such a position that It Is be-
coming more and more difficult to
land them Under such strict surveil-
lance, thay become more and more
wary, and though most of them are
known to the police it is difficult to
catch them in the act OF making a
sale.
Now that the number Of bars has
been reduced SO considerably under the
Dabney ordinance. it is expected that
many speakeasies will spring up, espe-
cially in the rougher sections of the
city, such as Penitentiary Bottom and
Butchertown. In the former place the
negroes have heretofore always had
their bars very convenient to them.
Now they must tramp all the way up
to Broad Street to quench their thirst.
After playing skin or crap all satur-
day night, the negro gambler can be
refreshed only by good eye-opener
on Sunday morning and the more en-
terp-ising and skilful among them will
hardly let pass such an opportunity
to make little extra money, oven at
the risk If being heavily fined and
sent to jail. But they realize the
risk, and orc vigilant accordingly.

Clnss Has Received Call.
Members OF the present graduating
class OF Union Theological Seminary
have been overwhelmed with calls for
their services as pastors in every part
OF the country. The great number OF
calls received by the graduates OF this
institution every spring Is one strik-
ing indication OF the fact that the sup
ply of ministers in this country Is
very far short of being equal to the
demand. Not only have all the grad
yates received calls to permanent
charges this year, but the undergrad.
yates as we'll members OF the first and
second year classes, have all accepted
ministerial work for the four months
of the summer vacation. The sessions
OF the seminary are purposely so ar.
ranged that the students. while prose-
cutting their studies can get the bene-
fit Of this practical experience during
the summer months. II is one, OF the
factors in the making of the type. OF
ministers for which the seminary has
been noted for SO many years men
who have made ample attainments IN
biblical learning, who are clear and

their summer apprenticeships and city

end OF their seminary course to take

.S0F Drink MEN
BEING WATCHED.
Government Believes That They
Are Not Complying With In
tcrnal Revenue Law.
TO EXAMINE THE BEVERAGES
Special Agents Ordered to Look
Into Products Sold in
Virginia.

Because Of their desire to make
money BY quenohing the thirst OF the
Virginia dry-county people with soft
drinks, hundreds of dealers arc soon
to be whip-sawe by the Federal gov
eminent and the State and local au-
thorltics. Since the saloons were voted
out of many towns new beverages have
come into popularity. Some OF them
are strange connections. Sold with the
guarantee that they are nonintoxicat-
ing, they have been known in many in
stances to fire the brain OF the con-
sumers the demand for them being
greater than that for certain patent
medicines which contain so per cent.
alcohol and 20 per cent prune juice.
Determined, therefore. to see wheth-
er or not the dealers should be required
to pay government license. the In
ternal revenue department, 1t is an
nounceI, will send special examiners
into the dry regions to get the stuff
and determine the alcoholic ingredients.
If the law Is not strictly complied with
an opportunity will be given to the
dealers to secure a Federal license.
Should they apply for licenses the act
VIII be prima facie evidence that they
are violating the state liquor law, and
this will bring on more trouble Con-
sequcntly, the dealers are between the
trying-pan and the fire.
New "Bccr' Being Sold.
For tho past few months Virginia
breweries have been making a special
brand for North Carolina and Virginia
towns 1t has name which .sug-
gests the sad sea waves.
Old soaks call it sloppy preparation;
they acceptit only when there is moth
ing else within reach. This product
mas passed muster in many examina-
lions, but the government will take
whack at 1t with view to showing
whether 1t is beer or something else.
at best these so-called non-intoxi-
cants are flimsy limitations of the real
stuff. The business, however. has in
creased to such proportions that Uncle
sam has begun to take notice The
examinations by the Internal Revenue
Department are more rigid than that
conducted by the home authorities.
Having spread to nearly all States. tho
prohibition wave has left a magnificent
opening for soft drinks. There are
eighty dry counties in Virginia A
larger percentage Of North Carolina
territory is without saloons, and in
these two States the examiners viii
