THE LIQUOR CASE DECIDED.

The Supreme Court Decides that
Morganton is Dry.
A Raleigh special of the 5th
to the Charlotte Observer
says:
"A very interesting case
decided by the Supreme Court
to-day is that of McNeely, ap-
pellant, VS.. Com missioners of
Morganton, affirmed. Chap
ter 158, acts of 1895, provided
for local option, the election
to be held for Morganton the
first Monday in May, 1895,
and every two years thereafter,
upon petition of one-third of
the qualified voters, and pro-
vided that, ''if at said election,
or any such subsequent cleo
ton, a majority of the votes
cast should be in favor of Iii
Cense, the commissioners of
the town should be authorized
to issue license for the sale of
spirituous liquors. The cleo
tiors held in May, 1895 and
1897, resulted in a majority
for license and upon the res ult
of such elections the plaintiff
was twice granted license
Prior to the election in 1895
a prohibition law prevailed ir
the town. The election held
on the first Monday in May Of
this year, upon a petition OF
one-third of the qualified
voters, resu1tedin a tie. Held,
that the commissioners prop
erly refused, upon the result
of such election, to grant Ii
cense for the saleof spirituous
liquors. The elections helC
under the provisions of the
act, every two years, ''upor
the first Monday in May,' are
legal, although such elections
we're not precisely two year:
apart. AS the act does no
provide for a new registration
for each succeeding election
the contention that there wa.
not sufficient time for regis
tration is without merit. y
Mr.. ]. H. McNeely, tn
paintiff, contended that th
: town being "wet' when thi
last election was held, and tn
vote resulting in a tie, tn
existing status was no
changed, but that a majorlt
would have to vote dry |
order to change from wet t
dry" The commissioner
cOntended that whenever, a

to vote for license that tn
