SKAHKOOK IN TROl'BI.B Former Prohibition Agent Arrested For Moomihimng < hai .e ?t?n. Aug \2. -Alof-zo 11. Seabrook, who iv> a federal prohibition officer worked up casta agaillil scores of alleged liquor violators, now faces trial, himself, on a similar idia i ge. Arrested, along with Lawrence Drown, by government dry agents in a recent ruid on Jehoasee Island, near here, the erstwhile enforcement officer has been charged with violating an old internal revenue statute without registering it with the internal revenue department, and faces a fur-i ther charge of attempting to defraud j the United .State of the tax on liquor. Fending a preliminary hearing before Commissioner Huger, Searbrook was freed on $1,000 bond, while that of his companion was fixed at $500. Moth bonds were signed by Vincent Chicco, Jr., of Charleston. Seabrook has been tried twice in the recent past on charges growing out of his activities as an enforcement officer, being found nob; guilty on both oc* as ions. His first trial was on a charge of murder in connection with the death of a fisherman named Pittman who was shot to death on his houseboat near Beaufort when Seabrook and other officers staged a midnight raid on the craft in seurch for liquor. This trial was held in the federal court, and Judge Ernest F. Cochran directed a "not guilty" vprdict for the defendants. When Washington dry authoritej ntuged their sensational raid several months ago in the Hell Hole section of Berkeley county, Seabrook was taken in custody and charged with having accepted bribes from liquor dealers while he was a federal officer. Fending his trial, he was suspended from active dut>, but after he had been acquitted, it was announced that he had been restored to duty. Later, his connection with the federal dry forces was terminated. The Jehossee raid was made by a party of dry agents, who made the trip to the isolated little Island on a coast guard boat. Seabrook and Brmvn were returned to Charleston" as pri* tiers on the boat. Mrs. Wayne Wheeler Dies c, iari*l RapioL. Mich., Aug. II ? Mi-. Wayne it.

Last Sunday Mr. Mixsori in company with two other younger friends, was riding from Hampton to Varnv ilie the young men ran their auto-, mobile over u large rattlesnake. They all got out of the car and one of them took the handle to an automobile jack and killed the snake which had been injured when the car passed over it. Vourig Mixson picked up the jack, handle and, according to doctors, he ^ must have gotton some of the deadly j poison of the snake on his hands from the instrument with which the reptile had been killed. In some manner, he ran his hand over his arm and the poison caused it to itch. When Mr. Mixson scratched the place where the poison had touched, it is thought, he made it possible for the poison to enter his system. This happened about twenty minutes after the snake had been killed. Mr. Mixson states that as soon as he scratched his arm he could feel poison all over his body. His arm immediately turned a bluish purple color and, several doctors were called in. They gave him several injections of a fluid which tended to counteract the action of the snake poison. Although at present he is much better, there is some, possibility of an abcess forming on the arm. The snake which the young men killed carried nine rattles. World's Greatest Tax-Payer Raleigh, N. C., Aug. 10?The city of Winston-Salem was pronounced today "the biggest taxpayer in the world for its size" as federal revenue officials credited it with the payment of $119,900,000 of the $185,000,000 collected from North Carolina in stamp taxes during the last fiscal year. In addition, the Twin-City probably; paid a fifth of the $20,000,090 collected out of the state income taxes, revenue officials estimated. Figures us to income collections from particular localities are not made available under the policy of the department. The bulk of Winston-Sa'.em's contribution to the federal coffers came trom the tobacco tax. which is rei -pof'<ihle f ?f North Carolina'* rank j i- fourth among the -tate? of the union.

They are: Ohm?the measure of electrical resistance, is named for George Simon Ohm, the German discoverer of Ohm's law. Volt?is ruuned after Alessandro Volta, the Italian who discovered the voltiac pile. Ampere?is named in honor of Andre Marie Ampere, the French physicist. Watt?by which the current consumtion of the ordinary electric lamp is measured, is a memorial to James Watt, a Scot. Kelvin?is used in Great Britain J as a unit of energy, in honor of the great Lord Kelvin. Not that none of these is an American, but without the inventive, industrial and commercial genius of Thomas A. Edison, their names would not be so famous today.?Public Service.

Cotton Letter i New York, Aug. 12.?Spots have 'advanced 5 hundred points since cotton got out of the farmers hands. This is not due to speculation, but was caused by the Egyptian bolo fly which is eating the squares in the Ukriane, and the boll weevil in Texas which was exterminated last year. The market will probably adjust itl-self?to?a new low as soon as the cotton producers have any of the staple to offer. On receipt of dope from I Detroit that Henry Ford's new car would have a pump instead of a grav-' ity water feed, January and March sold off, but when the news reached Wall street that Al. Smith said that he would not consent to be president of the United States unless he was elected, both months showed activity, and 2 bullish bears fainted at Charleston.
