The better class CT drug stores are not selling the drug to any one except on a bona fide. pre- scriptton and then are not taking much chance. The smaller drug stores are beginning, to run slow but 1t is stated that cocaine and morphine are being bought in other cities and brought here In quantity and then peddled out
 According to stories obtained from the police department men and wo- men are going around just as a ket- tie dealer does Even some of these dealers are carrying the needle along and for certain price are injecting the phohibited stuff in the arms or limbs or other parts of the body as desired by the purchasers. Three wo- men have apprehended so far while four men have been placed under ar- rest on charges of disposing of drug. The chief of police states that he has information of a physician giving notes to victims to drug stores ask ing that a. certain amount of cocaine or morphine be sent to him, the phy- sician, thereby eluding the law. No arrest can be made as the proof is not quite substantial. Members of the medical profession are worked up and at the meeting of the Jefferson County Medical Society Monday night drastic resolutions on the subject will be presented and most likely adopted.

A COMEDY IN PHILADELPHIA.

AIDED Philadelphia is again stirred. The
Hon. Max Kaufman, Mayor Reyburn, the
Hon. ]. p. McNichol, boss and State senator, and
the Hon. d. Clarence Gibboney appear to be in a
fine row. They are accusing each other of all
sorts of bad things. To those who know the
Philadelphia bunch" or any of them, the situa-
ton is very amusing. The characters are being
photographed as they proceed to and from the
magistrates office, a crowd gathers about the
place and cheers the senator. Peans of praise are
sounded that 1--WE are with you, Jim" OF course
the gang will be with Jim as long as he puts up
the stuff"
McNichol made charge that Kaufman who
was private secretary of that most delightful
mayor Reyburn was acting as a go-between to
get money from him TO be used to expose Mayor
Weaver. Kaufman sued McNichol for libel, and
now McNichol has a warrant for Kauffman's ar
rest on a charge of perjury. Altogether startling
developments and disclosures are expected.
Philadelphia's ears are OPEN
But suppose there should be startling develop
ments, what of it7 Does anyone imagine that
developments of any sort could affect the gangs
standing in Philadelphia?
The more the politicians are exposed the better
the people like thenA
The only lesson that we get out of it is that
gang rule is bad rule, and big majorites are not
conducive to good political government.

WARMING About Shipping Conditions.
ssBefore concluding. let me express
vcrd Of warning. Unless the Government
or business interests of the United States
take some direct steps in the near future
10 establish first-class fast mail, passen-
scr and express steamship lines between
the principal ports of the United States
and those Of South America, It will be ab'
safutely impossible for our country to
bold it's own in the competition with
Europe and Asia for the trade of South
America. 1t Is a remarkable but truthful
fact that there is not to-day one single
steamship plying between New York and
the great Argentine capital OF Buenos
Ayres, the principal port of South America
which can compare with the score OF
splendid new fast vessels that are running
between that city and the leading ports
OF Europe. What is the resultl All the
business men and travellers in general Of
Argentina and Brazil are going to
Europe instead OF the United States to
mike their purchases and spend their
money. The mails are carried to Europe
in one-half the time they are to our coun-
try. Express freight cas>2ot be ordered in
the United states because It takes twice
the time to reach its destination as tnat
Of Europe. The situation does not in
volve subsidies; Il is purely an issue OF
raging a proper price or wage to steam
ship companies, 50 that they can put on
vessels that can compete with those OF
ether countries. Just as we pay railroad
companies a large sum for carrying mails
on land in fast express trains, we must
pay steamship companies proportionately
for carrying the mails rapidly upon the
high seas. Let us do away with the bogey
cly Of subsidy and make simply
business transaction. that is, pay the
necessary wage in order TO get the work
done II the business men of Rochester
and the farmers OF New York win look
upon this shipping question in this light
the problem will soon be solved"

Mr. John Barrett, director of the international
Bureau Of American Republics delivered an en-
tertaning address last evening before the mem-n
bers of the Board of Trade on our trade relations
with South America. The board is to be COM
mended for having such addresses, and it is to be
hoped that there will be similar meetings after
the heated term. Trade relations with South
America is a particularly interesting topic for
Wilmington manufacturers. We send consider
able OF our products to the South American coun-
tries, and there is no reason why our relations
with them should not be closer. Both England
and Germany do large trade with the Latin re-
publics, which trade naturally should belong to
the United States

TROUBLES OF JUNGLE Joe.

TTNCLE JOE CANNON is having troubles
- OF his own these days. After the adjourn
ment OF Congress he fed from Washington in an
automobile accompanied by several boxes Of
cigars and satchel full OF choice oaths He was
heading for Illinois TO halt the progress of the
Taft boom in that region
Uncle Joe and his friends had concluded that it
was about time that a last desperate effort should
be made and conference was called. The Taft
"Crant speech was the straw at which the Can
non crowd decided to grasp.
But Uncle Joe, when he arrived at Pittsburg
learned to his dismay that if there should be any
slip in the plans to nominate Taft, Presdant
Roosevelt would be named by the Chicago con
vention.
This was not all the trouble that perplexed
Uncle Joe. His automobile entered Pennsylvania
territory without a license. The officers there
determined to arrest the speaker on the spot and
fine him fer disobeying the automobile license
law. That would indeed have been a hard fate
Uncle Joe and his presidential boom might have
been hailed together before a police court, but
they would not have occupied much space
The speaker, however, wisely concluded 70 finish
his journey by rail, abandoning the automobile
and thus foing those who would arrest him.
Altogether the trip has not been enjoyable for
the distinguished speaker Of the House. Better
luck next time

TAFT AND THE OFFICE HOLDERS.

TAR and wide has the cry been heard that
l. Taft if nominated for President Will be
nominated by the Federal office holders. Oppon-
ents of Taft have pictured huge Federal I'M
perial machine engaged in forcing the nomina-
ton upon the party and the people. The latter
were meekly submitting to this dictation what
are we coming to, say the Anti-Taft men, when
despotic power centered in Roosevelt, and op-
Grating through the Federal office holders, takes
us bv the back of the neck and tells us that we
must have Taft as the presidential candidatef
On the surface is evidence that these asser-
tions have little of fact as their basis. For ex-
ample it would be a man careless who would
assert that the Federal office holders OF Della.
ware have been particularly active in politics OF
late. II they were instructed to work for the
nomination OF Taft, judging by results, they paid
little attention to such instructions.
But it now turns out, according to table pre-
pared at Washington, that of the go delegates
to the convention only I2s are Federal Office
holders and these are scattered among thirty
states.
The question Of whether Federal office hold
ers should be delegates TO a convention OF this
sort may be debated indefinitely but the fact re-
mains that the office holders will not control the
Chicago Convention.

Fresbytery's Action in Dun

Pastor Declined.

| Charlotte special in Wednes.
days Columbia State: The re-
signation OF Rev. William Dun.
can as pastor of the First church
OF Charlotte has been declined.
Amid a dramatic stiffness the
presbytery of the Associate Re-
formed Presbyterian church
heard ther commentator of the
special commission this afternoon
and with probably half It's mem
oers voting unanimously accept
ed the suggestion that the min
lster's resignation be declined.
When the decision was an.
nounced several members oppos
ed to Mr.. Duncan rose abruptly
and left the church. here were
no votes in the negative, but
probably half the members OF
the body, for some reason, re
trained from voting. A partia'- =
Iy suppressed ripple of applause
swept over that portion of the
assemblage favorableito the min
lister: which was somewhat Offset
by the abrupt departure of
number who have steadily oppos
ed him
Announcing as its unanimous
opinion that the letters playing
so prominent a part in the affair
did contain some elements of in.
discretion and further that Mr..
Duncan had been careless in con
tracing and aischarging debts,
the commission decided never.
theless that, all things considered, i,
more harm would be done the
church by severance of his re-
lations as pastor than by his con-
tlnuance IL his present station.
and therefore Recommend the
declinatien OF the resignation.

vile, chairman of the commits
sion, without going into details,

DIR. Shoop's
Rheumatic Remedy
FUNDERBURK PHARMACY.
Parsons Should Keep Socks
as well as Powder Dry

The Atlanta Journal: Some
interesting and profitable advice
on the dangers of a preacher
wearing damp socks was given
the Baptist Ministers association
Monday morning by Rev. A. r.
Spaldlng. 1t is rash negligence
for any man to let his socks re,
main damp, the doctor explained, =,
but the preacher is liable in this
respect to particular temptations
and disasters. Then DR.. SpaId-
ing went on to untold a sound and
striking theory.
"When a man is preaching"
said he, "that is if he is preach
ing earnestly, the blood leaves
his feet and torso and gathers
about his brain. You all know
every time you think, certain
amount of blood is required.
1t is therefore natural that at
the close of sermon, a pre- acher's
feet should be cold. Moreover =,
the toe of his sock will be damp.
Now if he fails to change his socks
he is open to all kinds of throat
or even pulmonary troubles. |
will say personally that | always
carry a pair OF dry socks in my
pocket"
is the lack of such precau-
tions, said the doctor, that
gives rise to nine tenths of
the well-known complaint call
ed "clergyman's sore throat"
DR.. Spalding's remarks promp-
ted by DR.. Julian Rodgers, who
had made. some announcements
in rather a hoarse voice. The
advice was received with APP
plause, after which the ministers
indulged In good deal of keen
speculation as to just how long
a preacher could safely and con-
sistently remain in the same pair
of socks he had preached in.
Opinion on this matter was
divided. Some contended that
the pastor should make the
change Immediately; others that
this would intail serious embar-
ras ment and oftentimes down
right hardship especially in those
churches where no study or ante
room has been provided.
Everybody, however, agreed
that DR.. Spalding's advice was
seasonable and hereafter Atlanta
Baptist ministers will no doubt
adopt the hygenic custom OF car
rying an extra pair of socks
whenever they preach.
