1t is always pleasure to hear good word
spoken about any one in which is wor-
thy, and particularly when the good word is
about folks with whom you thrown in
tact. And SO it is that we heard with real pleas
ure the report Of the Wake county grand jury
that it found no violations Of the child labor
law in the cotton mills of Raleigh and Wake.
The report of the grand jury in this respect
is not matter of the least surprise to the peo-
pie who know the men at the head of the cotton
mills in this county, and the example which they
set is which should guide in every part of
the State. While do not agree that the
present laws Of North Carolina with relation to
the work Of women and children in the mills are
all that they should be, yet there is no excuse
for any violation of them Those laws should
be obeyed we'll as the other laws of the State
The proposition made in the last General AS
sembly for inspection of the mills Of the State
should have been quickly accepted by the mill
men We feel that they made blunder when
the proposed law was not accepted by them and
a hight was made on it. The for mill men
whose mills are strictly complying with the law
objecting to inspection we have never been
able to fathom. The proposition should have
had the active support Of every mill man in
the State in whose mills the law was being
obeyed.
1t has not hurt the mill men Of Wake county
that the Wake county grand jury made an in
spection of their mills. The report of the inves
tigation will help them. That would be the con-
dition everywhere in the State where there arc
mills if after inspection it was officially mad
known that the law being observed r
was shadow from which the mill men aed
when they opposed the mill inspection law and
we hope the day will come when thew will re
trace their steps and announce that thew are NOT
alone willing for an inspection law but will he
come active hghters to secure the passage of
such law. Inc people would applaud such
action.

GIVES LIQUOR
 ON CERTIFICATE
 THEN ARRESTED
Officers from Sheriff's Of flee Arrest Agent Who is Accused ot Selling Liquor by Wholesale---More Ar rests Coming

Driving straight at the source of the liquor selling evil and making a bid to stop the selling of booze in wholesale quantities, Sheriff Adams on a warrant sworn out by County Attorney Frank Lyman yesterday ar rested C. R. Smith on charge Of illegally selling whiskey.
 Smith is an employe of a liquor concern who prior to and since the invoking of prohibition has conducted liquor warehouse in the wholesale district of the city A warrant has been issued for Smiths employer, who is at present on the coast look ing after other interests. It is the intention of the sheriff to arrest him on his return here.
 The method that Smith and his associate employed in the selling Of the contraband liquor was very sim pie Smith remained in the ware house here while his employer trav eled through the mining camps and other towns soliciting orders. The wold-be purchaser gave his order to the road man and was instructed to send his check to Los Angeles to q man named Scott. whose full ad- dress was furnished. On receipt of the check Scott sent the thirsty one a warehouse receipt, which Smith honored when presented to him at the warehouse in his charge here.
 The evidence of the method used in the purVeying of the liquor is be- ing held by the sheriff in Hayden. Thirty cases of perfectly good whis- key were purchased by parties in that place acting under orders from the sheriff's headquarters here.
 Smith was arraigned before Justice of the Peace Frank De Souza yestar- day afternoon and allowed his liberty on $500 bond.

 WASHINGTON, April 21-Receipts from grazing permits on the national forests for the season of 1915 will contribute to the public revenues ap- proximately $1,200,000, or about S200, coo more than last year. according to an estimate from the allowances just authorized by the secretary of agri- culture. The forests this year will furnish forage for 1,9S3,775 cattle and horses. S,147,025 sheep and goats, and 64.O40 swine, the figures indicating a material increase of meat produc- tion on the governments regulated ranges.
 The increase of 92656 cattle and horses over the allowances for 1914 is accompanied by a decrease of 12O,- SS1 sheep and goats, showing that Tn many parts of the west sheep are giving way to cattle. It is thought that the recent high price of beef has been encouraging many farmers and former sheepmen to go into the cat tie business, though it will be the first time in the last five years that the allowance of sheep has not in- creased aover that of the previous season. There are localities, how ever where the demand for sheep range is far in excess of the supply
 The grazing charges are slightly higher this year In the west the rates have been fixed at 4S to go cents per head per year for cattle and horses, and 12 to IS cents for sheep and goats in the east the rates are from S5 cents to $50 for

SYRACUSE. April 21.-Theodore Roosevelt spent five hours on the wit ness stand in telling what he said he believed to be the inside story of ma chine politics and boss rule in New York state. By so doing, the former president hoped to convey to the jury which is trying the suit William Barnes brought against him for alleged libel. the impression that he was entirely justified in criticising Barnes as he did He swore he had been reliably informed that Murphy democrats" and Barnes republicans, the latter under the leadership of Barnes, united on more than one occasion to defeat the plans of independent men of both parties in the state legislature.
 Barnes told William Loeb Jr., the witness emphatically declared, that he had an ironclad agreement with Charles Murphy of Tammany Hall to allow the latter a free hand to select a United States senator. Loeb was private sec retary to Colonel Roosevelt when he was president and later collector of the port of New York.

Force Which at Beginning of War Consisted of Six Divisions Has Been h. creased to More Than Thirty-siX Divisions
PLACE TAKEN OF
 EVERY FALLEN MAN
David Lloyd George Reit- crates Need of Greater Supply of Munitions and Says Liquor Consump- tiOn Interferes
ASSOCIATED PRESS pIspArcHl

LONDON, April 21.-The British expeditionary force in France which at the beginning of the war con- sisted of six divisions has been in creased to more than thirty-six di- visions or roughly speaking more than 15O,O00 men, according to the statement of David Lloyd George, chancellor of the exchequer, in the house of commons this afternoon. The chancellor added that the place of every man who has fallen has been filled and that the army is adequately equipped. But he reiter- ated the need of a greater supply of munitions, declaring that during the battle at Nueve Chapele more am intuition was used than in the whole South African war. which lasted nearly three years.
 The interesting information was also given that the output of muni- tions factories had increased more than nineteen fold since the outbreak Of the war but there was call still for more. As Lloyd George con- tinues to hold the opinion that the consumption of liquor is interfer- ing with the work he promised le- gislation to deal with this matter.
 The figures made public by the chancellor as to the size of the Bri- tish army in France and the expen- allure of ammunition caused great surprise in England where the opin- ion has been general that about half that number of men had reached the front, especially as there had been no sign of any decrease in the num- Der of khaki-clad men training in this country. It is likely that many of the men have already been under fire, as the Germans are making re- peated attempts to recapture Hill SO, near Ypres, which the British took on Sunday and have. according to Field Marshal French's report, been repulsed with great loss.
 The Germans report progress near St. Mihiel, and to have repulsed the French attacks in other sections. The Russian advance in the Carpathians has apparently come to a full stop It is stated the Austrians have vir- tually evacuated Bukowina.

The men were carried into the Eel river. Four are dead and missing; six are injured and five escaped unhurt.
 In order to clean the debris from the culvert the section crew con structed a dam at the end of an loose gravel and earth from the up- per end of the culvert and wheeling it out, the dam broke without warn ing and with a deafening roar
 Five who were working at the low CT end had time to escape ahead of the rush of water and debris, but ten at the upper end were caught. The five who escaped saw their com panions hurled half way across the Eel river by the rush of the water
 Four men under the leadership of Foreman Sileck spent several hours rescuing six who were injured. One of them was carried mile down the stream by the swift current before his companions could drag him to the bank. None of the injured who were brought to Eureka were seriously hurt
