A Credit to Wilmington and the State.

The Messenger lifts it hat to The
Charlotte Observer for the following
editorial u~tterance:
1--WE subscribe to this declaration of
The New Bern Journal:
The esteemed Wilmington Messen-
ger keeps to the front in Journalistic
enterprise. It is a great North Caro-
lima newspaper.
"Our Wilmington contemporary has
not only made some specially fine
spurts of late, but it demonstrates
steady progress and improvement. 1t
is a credit to Wilmington and the state,
and it may be certain that it has no
more a~ppreciative reader or heartier
we'll wisher than The Observer, which
has nothing but generosity of feel
ing toward it in the rivalry between
the two for primacy among North Car

Tillman's Report On His Dispensary Bill
Washington, June Ex-senator Till
man, from the committee On Interstate
commerce, today submitted a report on
his bill for the amendment of the Will
son law concerning the commerce in
liquor between the state. This bill is
intended to legaliZe the south Carroll
ma dispensary and the report made to-
day says it's enactment, in view of the
recent decision of Judge SimOntOn, is
necessary to protect the state from the
evils of intemperance. The report also
says:
IF the state of South Carolina is TO
be flooded as it will be by liquors I'M
der the preteXt that they are for pri-
vate use, when in fact they are for
sale without analysis, it is readily
seen what obstacles are thrown in the
way of state CONTROL"
The conclusion is drawn that no rem
edy is left for restricting intemper-
ance. except prohibition, and that is
pronounced a failure.
