SOUTHERN EXPORTS INCREASING.
Business OF Southern Ports Growing and a
Gain in Imports is Reasonable.

During the month Of Sep
TENDER only four ports of the
United States showed an in
crease in the export of bread~
stuffs over that for the same
month last year, and these
were Southern ports-Nor~
folk, Portsmouth, Mobile and
New Orleans. At all North
Atlantic PORTS there was a de-
crease. Mobile alone of all
the Atlantic and Gulf ports
showed a gain for the nine
months of the year over the
same period of the year be-
fore. Galveston and Mobile
we're the only ports on the At
lantiG or Gulf which showed
an increase in. exports Of
meats. and dairy products.
For the month of September
five ports only showed a gain
over the SAME month last year
in export Of GOTTEN, -Four Of
them were on the South At
lantic, Wilmington being one
of them. In mineralkils Gal
weston and Sabine - ne
only Atlantic or Gulf sort
which showed gain in exports
for the nine months of the
year over like period last
year.
These facts show how ra~
pidly the ports Of the South
are coming into Importance as
%gateways Of commerce be-
tween inland America and
foreign countries. <Only a
few years ago there wascvery
little foreign commeree
through an ethern ports,

South sends direct from its
own ports most of the cotton
it ships to foreign ports and
is drawing mole and more
each year from the North At
lantic ports their business in
the shipment in Western and
Northwestern products, of
which they had a monopoly
up to a short time ago.
. The increase of exports is
bound to bring with it a gain
in imports at these Southern
ports. Many vessels cannot
afford to cross the Atlantic
light for the sake Of getting
return cargoes. 1t also means
heavier freight traffic for the
railroads leading into the
South Atlantic and the Gulf
and, consequently, better
railroad service and increased
development Of the section Of
the county through which the
railroads run. 1t means that
the South is rapidly approach
ing the position it ought to
occupy in the world Of COM

RETAIL LIQUOR LICENSE ISSUED.
Two Hundred and Fourteen Federal License
10 Retail LIQUOR Held in State.

. wv uuH1lVU A'H .
TO Retail Liquor Held in State.
Rev. r. L. Davis, superin~
|tendent of the field work OF
the North Carolina Anti~Sa~
loon League, has published a
list Of persons, firms and cor~
operations in North Carolina
who have obtained retail Ii
LIQUOR license from the Federal
government for the fiscal year
from July /, 1909, to july L,
1910. The list is copied from
the records Of the collectors
of internal revenue and is OF
course accurate. The total
number of license in the casts
ern district is III and il the
westerndistricttis 143, making
a grand, total Of 214 persons,
firms or corporations in the
State who hold license from
the Federal government to re-
tail <iQuor. Mr.. Davis says
that last year the number of
license was 656 and the year
before ST, and he feels en-
|couraged by the decrease.
The United States governs
ment charges S25 per annum
for retail liquor license and
there are no restrictions in
issuing the license. Anybody
who can pay the $25 can get
license 'on application. Un>
der the. State law, however,
license to sell liquor is issued
only to druggists and medical
repositories Sometimes per-
sons.who sell liquor Illegally
under the State law take
the pains to procure a
license from the Federal gov
PERMANENT so that in the event
of trouble they will not have
Uncle Sam, as well as the
State, to reckon with; and
sometimes men convicted for

arfforced to pay for a FEEDER
al license to avoid prosecution
for the same. offense in the
Federal courts.
In this immediate section
Mecklenburg county leads in
the number of federal license.
Twenty-Five persons in that
county, about all Of them in
Charlotte, have license to re:
tail liquor. Rowan comes
next with 20. Alexander,
Catawba and Wilkes havetwo
each, Davie and Yakin one
each, Iredell is blank. Not
a single license is held in The
county and it means that no
liquor can be legally sold in
lredell county, on Ilescrip~
tions or otherwise.
Practically all Of the license
are Of course held by drug
gists, located in cities, towns
and Villages. In Alexander
county a Taylorsville drug
store has a license, the sec~
ond is held by a man in the
country. In some cases so~
called social clubs, which
seem to exist mainly for the
purpose Of evading the prohi~
bition law, have license. AS
these clubs are not and cans
not be, licensed under che
State law to sell liquor, and
as the holding Of a Federal
license is prima facia evidence
under the State law OF a pur~
pose to violate the.prohibition
law, the solicitors Of the dis
tricts where these clubs exist
may have occasion to get
busy.
The publication Of the list
of license holders is a good
idea. The Facts can be obs
tanned from the books Of the
collectors of internal revenue
by any person who cares to
see the list. - Statesville
