Turkeys whose ancestors gobbled and strutted haughtily during pre-. viotis pre.holiday seasons hung tneir heads in shame today--not In an. ticipation of the inevitable axe--but because they realize their carcasses would bring lower prices than wnat they term "a lowly piece of beef."
 Although there are some excep. tons, the majority of markets are selling -roasts of beef ct prices higher by at least five cents than the gobblers bring. A survey or re- tail markets resulted in ascertain. ment that such beef Is being sola for from 40 to 46 cents per pound
 Turkey is being given away Gin the estimation of King Cobbler) TOT prices ranging from 8 to 70 cents per pound, on the average.
 Chicken, which in former years was considered c poor substitute Tor the turkey, Is now selling at c price almost, If not just as lofty. Pork ana veal range in price downward m that order, according to wholesaie prices.
 These prices of course have been procured at 6 time when markets have not aS yet even commenced 10 make actual preparations for the sale of special dainties and dishes for the holidays.

HARD ON DRUNKEN DRIVERS

Little has been heard in the current session of
the North Carolina legislature about any steps to
promote safety on the highways, although January
showed decided increase the first month of
last year in the number of fatalities resulting from
traffic accidents, and considerably more than 1000
persons were killed on the streets and highways in
1886.
But in the Tennessee legislature the matter of
highway safety is receiving considerable attention
and the senate has given stern evidence that it be-
lieves measure of Improvement may be brought
about by dealing less eniently with drunken driv-
ers
With only one dissenting vote, the senate last
week passed and sent to the house bill increasing
both fines and workhouse sentences that may be
imposed upon those convicted of driving while
drunk, raising the maximum fine from 500 to
$500 and giving judges the power to impose jail
sentences up to year instead of only 80 days.
Senator Hugh L. Clarke, author of the bill, point
ed out the inconsistency of the existing law under
which judge could give year for public drunk
enness or for carrying pistol "but when a man
is brought before him repeatedly for drunken drv-
ing the maximum is 30 days"
Senator Clarke further asserted that "a drunken
man driving an automobile down the highway is
dangerous instrumentality." His colleagues EVIL
IDENTIFY agreed with him.
Such penalties are none too severe, for those
who recklessly endanger the lives of scores ano
hundreds of men, and children on Tue
roads. The guilty deserve severe punishment Liz
penalties are not intended to apply and would no.
apply to the innocent. Therefore who out th'
guilty and those who think of becoming quit!

right down at the feet of those
who thought he was anxious to
kiss and make up.
One of the first examples of the
renewed bitterness observed here
came when Congressman Maurv

southern liberal in Congress, made
a speech to the exclusive Harvard
Club here the day after the presi-
Dental message. Maverick. who
