meeting Of the Council tonight turned
itself into a discussion of the dispensary
law. It was proposed to try barroom 8

ton if they didn't prove satisfactory.
Mayor H. G. Tuck, in response to calls,
took the floor and scored the dispensary
and its management in scathing man.
ner, and asserted that its affairs had not
been carried out there as provided for by
law. He said the dispensary was delu-
sion and 8 snare.
Mr.. w. A. Jester followed in q red-hot
prohibition speech and called upon the
other side to point out the truth Of their
charge. Mr.. E. I. Smith made some per-
tinent remarks on the prohibition side of
the question, and Mr.. J. B. Toomer on
the other side. Mr.. T. w. Reed followed
in speech in favor of the dispensary and
prohibition. Hon. n. H. Carlton spoke
against the dispensary. The suggestion
was made that the sale of beer be allowed.
It was decided by the meeting to request
the dispensary and anti-dispensary fac
tion to appoint each a committee of five
to meet and see if they could come to
some settlement Of the question and
avoid conflict. The committe es will be
appointed and will get together, but the
outlook does not promise settlement.
