sPATS In OPEN COURT
Again Rice Beer is Responsible for a
Court Scrape.

Another one q the familiar rice beer
cases was tried by Justice MCGOWAN
yesterday. This time, however, it was
not necessary to draw the distinction
between rice beer and lager beer,
which distinction it has always been
impossible to obtain by the courtss but
it was necessary to prove that Eliza
Burton, colored, had sold rice beer
withou a license, at her saloon on Wa
ter street. between Market and Dock.
There were several witnesses, all
white, some Of whom testified TO pur-
chasing beer and some knew nothing
about it. However, they all SWOre that
it was rice been, and that the bottles
were so labeled. The defendant claim
ed tina she had obtained a license for
the month of June, and exhibited a
receipt from Mr.. T. E. Wallace, depu-
ty tax collector.
It was a sort of conflicting question
to decide, as the license had been OBJ
tanned subsequent to the issuing of
the warrant, while Mr.. Wallace testi-
fed hat it was not customary for
liquor dealers to pay tax in advance,
and so Justice MCGOWAN reserved his
decision until today.
Ex-Deputy Sheriff William Guion,
colored, was the prosecutor, and he
and several of the witnesses had
"spats" right in open court. 1t ever
went so far that the defendant threat
ened to place her fist in Guion's mouth
and he replied that he would plant his
foot on her neck.

Encouraging Outlook for Democracy

District, and has made a fine impress
sion here as elsewhere in the district.
He tells us that the outlook is very
encouraging for the Democracy in
Onslow county. He says many Pop

to rejoin the democracy and do
all in their power to reclaim the State.
They are disguised with the state Of
affairs brought about by fusion.

Fender will turn up all right this fall.
He is a hard fighter of the days of '76,
and says the Democrats of Pender are
going to make the most vigorous and
determined fight since the days of re-
construction. Many Populists all over
the county and also in Duplin county
say they have got enough of the state
of affairs that have existed in North
Carolina for the past four years.
We understand that there is consid-
cradle apathy among the Populists in

ton was called at Jacksonville recent
ly to nominate a judge and solicitor
but only six or seven delegates attend
