The dispensary question seems 10 be
giving the legislature some trouble and
is taking up good deal of the time of
the committee on propositions and
grievances. There was Il big i'ght over
the Fayetteville law, there is another
over the proposition to establish one at
Greensboro, and there Will he a hig fight
over establishing one in Charlotte. We
arc glad to learn that although the fight
is hot in all the towns for and against
the law. that there isano Ill feeling exist
ing and that the people will cheerfully
submit to the will of the majority of the
people as shown by the action of the
legislature. -Aberdeen Telegram.

One of the leading lawyers in the
State said yesterday:
''One of the most important matters
that has failed to elicit the special at
tention of the Legislature is the jury
system Of the State. Before the advent
of fusionism we had honest, capable
iuries, drawn under the law, frcDl the
body of the county, upon which could be
seen many of our best citizens, and the
rights of persons and property were full
" protected. In 1897 the Fusion Legis-
lature i'll Il pretended attempt to purge
the jury box, filled it with worthless
and incompetent men, whites and ne
groes, and it is n rare thing to see re-
spectacle white men upon the jury. The
present Legislature should give TINS mat
ter immediate attention and provide for
a new jury to be selected on the first
Monday of June in this year. The peo-
pie of The State expect th9t this shall be
done and the Legislature should not fail
to comply with this most important
wish of the people"
Yesterday when Senator Bob Glenn
was in the midst of his eloquent appeal
for the Constitutional amendment, he
had reached Il point where he was saying
that he had come as the representative
of his people uninstructed and without
promise to his opponents in the now
memorable campaign, when an fold vet
cram of the civil war standing near the
writer, exclaimed: 'untrammelled.
Looking at his aged form as he stood
erect with quivering excitement i'll his
eye, which blazed with his enthusiasm
as he gazed upon the Senator, some
one reminded him that he must keep
quiet, but he said without withdrawing
his gaze from the speaker: I'D give
five hundred dollars for five minutes to
tell them how / feel; my blood boils
within me and I'd freely spill the last
drop TO perpetuate the cause he pleads,
