THE TANGLE AT CHARLOTTE.
Another Move in the Liquor License
Question.

Another Move in the Liquor License
Question.
CHARLOTTE, n. c., Jan. 4.-The liquor
question is on again. Two weeks ago
the board of county commissioners, who
have the power of granting or refusing
license according as the applicant proves
good or bad moral character, turned
down every application presented to them
on the ground that the petitioners did
not come up to the requirements Of the
law
The bar men began to wear a sad eX.
preston of countenance, and the prohi-
bitionists were all smiles. Up to Jan
uary 1 not a single applicant had received
license and every bar in the city was
closed. New Years day was a dry one,
and the whiskey men wandered aimlessly
around town, talking in groups. Evi-
IDENTIFY they would do something, but no
one knew what.
This evening the board of aldermen
met and granted the right to sell whiskey
to every applicant, Alderman Sifford, the
doubtful member, voting yes. By their
vote this evening, the aldermen have
thrown the gauntlet into the faces Of the
commissioners, and the question is which
will win.
The whskey men say they will open
Immediately; the prohibitionists say they
shall not. If they do they will probably
be indicted, for the question will be fought
to the finish. 1t has been tested several
times before in this state, and the supreme
court will probably have the privilege of
deciding this one.

process in copper solution of equal

If the windows are washed every two

matter of congratulation that tho ont.
side window blind is passing out of use.
Where awnings are used, tRcy serve to
shade the window as we'll as tho outside

gress of air. The inside window-shut-

infinitesimal powder it might give off

tablespoonful of turpentino dissolved in

should be applied with damp chamois

farming is considered a business that

A man without experience would have
difficulty in renting or leasing a good

what his experience, he could not lease
unless he could show capital enough to
