RIDERS Are
ANXIOUS FOR
new MARKS
Indications Are That at Finish
of Grind Worlds Record
Will Be Broken.

1t would be a fitting climax if the
riders could break the six-day record
in the last race of it's kind ever held
in the Madison Square Garden, and
there are indications that such will be
the case. Early today the killing pace
which had carried the men ahead of
the record was still in vogue and they
were nine laps ahead.
There was plenty of excitement, too.
Jackie Clarke got way early this
morning and opened a big gap be-
tween himself and the field. He had
nearly a quarter of a lap when Lorenz'
wheel skidded and he went down on
the Madison avenu embankment,
bringing down Cameron, Brocco and
Palmer. Lorenz sustained a cut over
the left eye and a bruised thigh, but
1t did not impair his riding In the
least.
At $50 o'clock Brocco tried to regain
the lost lap for his team. Freddy Hill
went out after him and was bringing
him back when Moran forged to the
front. AS Jimmy came abreast with
Brocco the pair collided and went down.
Jimmy Moran twisted his right leg and
he gave Brocco ar awful tongue-lash-
Ing. The foreigner came back strong
and there was a red-hot argument.
Brocco is a favorite with the crowd
and he was cheered as he left the
track. AS for Jimmy Moran, the slight
Injuries here received did not bother
him. Moran is made of sterner stuff.
There was some excitement around s
o'clock, when an aged man sitting in
, hax, ~, fha Madison a 1-ont5a turn Ha-
clared that p~ickpockets had relieved
him of SIS. They left him only a nickel
for carfare. The aged man, who said
he is 81 years old, refused to give his
name.

a WHISkEY INSPECTION ACT.
fRaleigh Times. J

Much has been said and suggested
as to the way to handle the whiskey
traffic in this State, and especially
that part of it relating to the ship
ping from other States. In our opin-
ion the best and most practical way
to handle the business coming in
from other States is to ave a Nhis-
key inspection law similar to our oil
inspection law. We believe the Su-
preme Court has held that one State
can levy taxes on communities ship
ping in from another State for the
purpose Of inspection. In other words.
the State of North Carolina can col
lect an import duty sufficient to pay
all the estimated costs Of the opera
ton Of an inspection law. BY such
a. law we would have all Whiskey
shipped into the State coming up to
a fixed standard, just as We the
oil under the present inspection law.
Shippers from other States would have
to submit samples and grades and
then pay a tax on each gallon ship
ped into the State to maintain this
inspection law. The machinery for
the operation Of such q law could be
very easily and there could
be no doubt but what its operation
would be a success in every way. 1t
would have at least two definite and
certain results 1t would give the peo-
pie of the State who purchase Wh1s-
KEY from firms in other States some
puarantee hat they We're getting q
good article, whereas, under the pres
ent gen they are liable 20 get
ANYTHING even 10 chemicals under the
name Of Whiskey. The second result
would be a return of at least q quarter
Of a million dollars each year TO tho
state for the operation Of SUCH an
Inspection law. Such a law IS prac-
ticable in every way and We can see
no reason Why it would not only be
a protection TO the people Of the state,
but would also give the state some
check on the Whiskey being Ghlpped
in here and would give Us some rev
enue for the operation Of such a laW.

slave Marriages.

It is said hat women are still
sessions. Not long ago there was a
regular trade in the black girls who
We're brought across the Sahara from
Central Africa and shipped through
Tripoli into Syria and other parts OF
Turkey. Before the English took
hold Of Egypt this traffic was carried
on through the Nile valley and it was
Winked at by the officials. 1t is said
to be still in vogue in Morocco, and
slaves are brought in from parts Of
the Caucasus to Constantinople.
According to the law of the Koran
marriages with slaves are legal. The
wives of the sultan are largely slaves
who are brought in from Georgia and
Circassia, a plump bright-eyed red
headed white-skinned girl being worth
as much as a half dozen white horses.
| am old that Circassian girls are
glad to be sold out of the hardships
which they are sure to find in their
own country. They are bought young
and are trained up for wives. Such
as car play on the either and other
musical Instruments bring more than
the ignorant, and the blonde is worth
more than the brunette. j. the past
$4,000 was not a high price for a
Circassian girl, and any g~ood-looking
Georgian maiden of twelve would
bring 5000 and upwards. According
to law the children Of such slaves are
legitimate.
