nal Revenue District of Eastern NORTH
Carolina believes that the illicit man
ufacture of Intoxicating liquors in his
district a be entirely suppressed II
individuals throughout the district vii
which he gives the names of his dep

uties and their postofhce address with
the suggestion that information in the
possession of citizens as to the illlc-I
manufacture. of liquor be sent either
to the deputies OF to him.
He also points out the fact that IT
is the duty of the county sherths as
we'll as of representatives Of b gen
eral government, to try to put down
illicit distilling. By using all the
agencies for eliminating blockading.
Collector Bailey believes it will not be
long before blockading in the fifty foul
counties of his district a be stopped
entirely.
Mr.. BaiIey's Statement.
His statement to the press follows:
ITO the Press:
~ desire the cooperation of the
people of North Carolina in suppress
ing the illicit manufacture OF intox1-
eating liquors in my district. l believe
that We can entirely suppress BLOCK
aiding if individuals throughout the
district will cooperate with my dep
uties and myself.
The following is a list Of my deE-
uties and their pOstomce addresses:

81 wish the public to be assured
that l will hold any information as
confidential; and that / will appreciate
any information tending to show that
my deputies are not exercising proper
diligence in this undertaking.
81 wish also to point out to the pub
lie that the suppression OF Illicit ais
filling is the duty of the local sherlns
as well as of the collector and MS

Office the manufacture of liquor can be
entirely eradicated in h hfty-touf
counties in this district, extending
from GuiIford to the coast. 1t is my
earnest desire to achieve this end.

MILLIONS LOST THRU WAR.
Textile Manufacturers Of Norther
France Impoverished by Invasion.

Textile Manufacturers OF Northern
France Impoverished by Invasion.
Correspondence of Associated Press.
Paris, May 1O.-Three hundred mil
lion dollars lost by the textile industries
of northern France in raw materials
and manufactured products taken by
the Germans as booty Of war-that is
the estimate given the Associated Press
by an authorized member of the most
influential textile corporation in France
and an authority on industrial subjects.
What the total loss, including dam
ages to plant and to buildings. may
amount to. there are no indications, for
many rumors of the transferring of
valuable machines to Germany have
not been confirmed. The above esti-
mate Ii based on confirmed facts only.
1t more than bears out the estimate of
the German publicist, Ludwig Gang
hofer, who after visit to the German
front, told the Muenchner Neueste
Nachrichten that the war booty sent
from northern France to Germany in
the form. OF cereals, sugar, metals. wool,
leather, etc, amounted to $780,
00O, 900 during the first six months
Of the war. It Is supposed that
his figures were based on the requtsi-
ton price said to be very inferior ia
the market value. On the latter basis
the actual total would be far in excess
OF the German figures; the estimate fol-
the textile Industries alone would SC
indicate.
Il il known that the Germans took
nearly all the raw material and finished
goods in the great wooden manufacture

Childish Characteristics.

The prominent characteristics Of
childhood are innocence, trustfulness
constituencies and curiosity. and on
our treatment Of these qualities the
future development OF the child viii
largely depend. To keep the childish
bloom of innocence as far as possible
untainted; to honor trustfulness by
answering truth and the firm inten
ton never to deceive; to meet sensi
tiveness with tender consideration
and not with hardness and lack OF
sympathy; to treat curiosity az, mind
hunger and not TO starye but feed it.
these are considerations of vital mo-
ment The child's sense Of wonder is
a lovely endowment which should
never be chilled or discouraged. For
the child the world is full of surprises.
The whole earth. the heavens above
and the waters beneath, the color and
scsntSof flowers, the wind in the trees,
the songs OF birds, the fight OF the
swallow or the butterfly. all are beau.
full surprises IN which the child should
be encouraged to find delight and in.
