American vintages of 1886 are much
superior to anything of similar type
produced abroad. Europe had its
worst wine year in two decades; Anne

takes for champagne to mature

l." but while the dry speakers utter
ly ignored any argument on the sue
cess or failure of previous expert
ments in prohibition, the Pitt county
chairman fatty gave his opinion that
county liquor stores have improved
temperance conditions in his county.
He mentioned the fact that he has
been a lifelong dry and that he even
voted against establishment of the
county stores.
"But a few of us, together with the
bootlegging element, could only mus
ter the short end of a three to one
VOTE" he said.
In closing his appeal to the COM
mittee to adopt in principle the report
of the Bryant Liquor Commission, Mr..
Cox asked that you do not class me
as a wet"
Included in the long list of speakers
for the referendum were Mrs w. 4 D..
Beckett, widow of former Governor
Beckett; Mrs. Lindsay, Charlotte,
State president of the w. G. T. u;
and Dr. w. l.. Poteat, president
emeritus of Wake Forest and leader
of the Baptists of North Carolina.
They pointed to the house ruined
and the lives wrecked by liquor and
urged that the liquor question be put
to a Statewide vote.
They argued that Statewide re-
ferendum is the only true method of
determining the feeling of the people
of North Carolina and asserted that
there is neither logic nor precedent
for allowing each county to determine
for itself whether or not it shall OPP
crate liquor stores.
Apparently every one had oppor-
tunity to "let off steam," but it is
the opinion of Informed observers
that the hearing was, to all intents
and purposes a fornality which is
well over and which changed no
votes.

rentic was sunk off the Irish coast
by a German submarine. Before this
news reached the Admiralty in Lon
don, it had issued an order that caus-
ed immediate repercussions in Wash
ington. The order permitted British
merchant ship owners to arm their
vessels fore and aft.
The news caused grave concern in
Washington because British ships so
armed that locked in U. S. ports
would be considered warships by Ger
man definition. The U. S. was there
fore faced with the necessity of de-
Gliding whether to intern these arm
ed merchant ships or be placed in the
light of aiding one belligerent against
the other.

TODAY,S YESTERDAYS

Jan. 20, 1688-Edmanuel Svedberg,
subsequently Swedenborg, was born in
Stockholm, Sweden, son of a bishop.
He won separate distinction as min
ing engineer, mineralogist, matallur-
gist, shiprailway designer, hydrograph
er, chemist, geologist, physicist, paleon
tologist astronomer, anatomist, politi-
cal economist legislator, Latin poet,
philosopher, psychist, psychologist
psychologist and was the founder of
crystallography. He wrote 100 vol
umes, and was the inventor of a sub
marine, an ear-trumpet for the deaf
and improved stoves and chimneys;
he developed primary machine guns
and conceived one of the first air
planes. The significance of many of
his discoveries-about the ductleSs
glands, for instances just coming
tc be understood.
While doing all these things, Swed-
enborg subsisted solely upon bread
and milk and enormous quantities of
coffee, and paid no attention to the
distinction between night and day
He'd go without sleep for days or
sleep a like period.
After 5 years of his life had been
Gwelt amid pure science, Swedenborg' S
sole interest became with mysticism
and he thought he had visions y
Who can say he didn't?
The celebrated philosopher Kant,
who was a realist, tells of an occa-
sion when Swedenborg wildly de-
scribed a fire which he said was then
destroying homes of friends in Stock
holm, 300 miles away. He pictured
the exact damage and the hour the
fire subsidized. Two days later a mes
sage arrived with news of the fire
and it substantiated Swedenborg's vi
sion in every detail, Kant said.
