Home Matters in Washington.

WASIIINGroN. January l2.-Scna-
tor Tillman concurs in the opinion Of
Governor Ellcrbc, as expressed in his
message, relative to the dispcnsary
system. When spoken to on the sub
ject today, Senator Tillman author
lied the following statement: ''it is
well understood that the dispensary
as now conducted, with such safe
guards as would prevent abuses or
speculation, would be the best sys-
tem. The only question is what the
Legislature had oest do pending de-
cision by tho Supreme Court Of the
United States or the action of the
House Of Representatives OF the bill
already passed by the Senate If ST.
monton' s decision is sustained by the
Supreme Court it destroys the license
system throughout the country. and
gives liquor, in original packages, free
entry into every State in the Union
under Interstate commerce. The
Legislature cannot afford to leave the
original package stores pursuing their
pcrnicious traffic, which has resulted
in IL large increase Of drunkenness and
crime already. l agree with Governor
Ellcrbc that we had better destroy the
profit feature OF the dispcnsary than
undertake any form Of license, and
prohibition would, in my Judgment,
be practical continuance Of the ex-
listing condition, which is free whiskey
throughout the State. A great many
people have always opposed the dis
pensary because Of the profit feature,
and, while / could never understand
the difference between accepting
money for license and obtaining it by
profit from liquor sold in the dispcn-
sary. / believe it is best for the peace
and good order Of the State to forcgo
tho profit entirely rather than risk
profit ol LICENSE. NC will gain time,
and can determine what is best to do
next winter, after the Court has dc
cidcd the question. and after the
House has passed or refused to pass
the bill which | got the Senate oto
enact
Representative Latimcr is taking an
active interest in the bill providing
for the restoration of j. ID. Parker of
Grecnvillc. to ihe navy Mr.. Parker
was formerly naval cadet. and he re-
signed upon graduation. He is now
seeking to be restored to the service
at the post Of his original class. Mr..
l.atimcr introduced joint resolution
in his behalf last December. To-day,
at the instance Of Mr.. Latimcr, the

Two score OF human lives ana urwarI

nado. which burst upon this citya
few minutes past II o'clock last
night. The storm struck near the
National Cemetery and tore it. Way
through the entire city. leaving It's
path marked by death and dcsola,ion.
Men, women and children. peacefully
asleep in their homes, were. without

persons were killed near that place.
Fort Smith lies at the confluence OF
the Pitou and Arkansas rivers, which
wash it's south and west sides, and to
the north and east are hills, which
form barrier about that section OF
town. The storm struck this city in
the southwestern section, right at 4
point where the two rivers come to-

yirginia's anti-Flirting Bill.

RcIIM"ND, VA. Jan. 14-Scnator
McCunc' S anti flirting bill, which has
heretofore been regarded as the joke
Of the Legislative session, took Sc
rious turn to-day, and will probably
be favorably reported and become II
law The bill was considered this af-
tcrnoon before the committee on pub
lie institutions and schools, and the
testimony in letters from various
principals of girls schools was so i'm
prcssivc that those members who had
heretofore treated the mattcras joke
declared themselves in favor Of the
measure. 1t was laid over in order to
give the committee time to fully con-
slider the provisions in detail.
The measure is designed to protect
school girls from the annoyance and
the lettering around girls schools of
young men Of Objectionable character.
The need Of such a law vas felt so
much in this city that when the Leg
islature. two years ago. failed to con-
slider such bill. the city council pass
cd an ordnance which cffcctually broke
up the attentions of young mashcrs to
school girls. Several arrests were
made and no more trouble was cXpcr
fenced.
