UNCLE SAM WHISKY SELLER

For five years Uncle Sam has been
wondering how to dispose of more than
80, 600 gallons of fine corn whisky IN
North Carolina, which long since went
dry, without sacrificing it. Col. w. II.
Chapman, now internal revenue agent
at Richmond, but at that time located
in North Carolina, seized 695 barrels OF
liquor. 1t has since been in the posses
sion of the government, and recently
it was decided at Washington to have a
dstraint sale Thursday at Williams,
N. G..
Fearing that the liquor may be sold
at a sacrifice, the revenue officials have
widely advertised, and a number of H.
quor houses will have representatives
on hand to bid.

will not be exported from this colony, ac-
cording to the sentiment expressed today
by newspapers of all shades of political
opinion, should the United States gov
eminent decide to enter into negotiations

Foundland. This expression was called
forth by recent dispatch from Wash
ington that reciprocity negotiations might
soon be opened between this colony and
the United States. Pulp wood and free
fishing privileges are about the most i'm
portaut things that the colony has to ex-
change fer American concessions and il
is the generally expressed sentiment that
the colony will not rescind its statute
prohibiting the export Of pulp wood
Both Premier Morris and Former RE
mier Bond are ON record as unqualihedIy
d claring that the colony should not re-
verse it's policy in this respect. New
Foundland, it is pointed out, might be
willing to grant TO American fishermen
free access to it's fishing grounds and
batting privileges in return for free en-
try of colonial fish to American market
