154 games provides plenty of sport, and
there is no popular demand for
change.
The rules committee, which was still
wrangling at a late hour, declined to
make any report until they had finished

a wild pitch will be charged with an

of the National League committee, said
last night that the work of the joint

schedule committee he had been instruct

Revenue officers have received a re-
port from Hamlet, n. c., of the adop-
ton of a novel scheme to avoid the
payment of internal revenue tax in an
alleged dry district. The officers

shipped to j. H Rome, at Hamlet, and
left uncalled for since February %.
On opening the barrel a smaller barrel
was found inside, containing twenty
five gallons of whiskey. Revenue

shipper. An Illicit distillery was raid

enty-gallon copper still was destroyed.
Two men were working at the distillery

LIQUOR LICENSES
TO PAY SALARIES
Governor and Other Officials
Must Take Receipts Largely
From Saloons.

Liauor license money Will for the
most part pay the salaries of Governor
Mann and the other State officials and
keep up the hospitals and schools sup
ported by the Commonwealth for the
next few months. At the office of the
Auditor of Public Accounts II is esti-
mated that fully 100000 will be re-
ceived during this month from licenses
OF all kinds, and of this amount 1t is
thought that perhaps 100000 Will come
from State licenses on the manufac-
ture and sale of Intoxicating liquors.
This business was recognized by the
Legislature AT the recent session as
being one of the most feasible subjects
for additional taxation. The new Byrd
law largely Increased. the license fees.

probably only a small percentage of

claims. All of this will now be repaid
with the license money, which has al
ready begun to come in. For instance,
the military department has quite a
good balance. which will not be needed
until encampment time. AS all the
money belongs to the State, in the last
analysis, some OF these funds have
been used. Aside from the regular
remittances Tom clerks of courts and
other small sources of revenue, the
license money Is pretty much all the
State has TO go on until the regular
