The record in Sterling county
is something worthy Of note. The
grand jury met recently and adj
iourned without finding a bill for
either a felony or petty oilense.
The county has never had Jail
and they claim they have no use
for one, and the county has been
organized eight years. There has
never been a murder committed in
the county. Sterling City, the
county seat, has population Of
about four hundred and all the
churches have large congregations.
The district court convened and
adjourned the same day.-Weath-

details of his mothers business And
the intercourse with his mother left its
impress that remained during his entire
life.
The first of the three periods into
which Mr. Averitt divided the life of
Lee, covering his young days and his
service in the Federal army, was treated
with unusual skill. One saw there the
bud bursting into life, and then the
fine fruitage, in the high honors won Ill
the course of the Mexican war. 1t was
during that war that General Scott
learned to value Lee at his true worth,
and the old General was not backward
in saying that Lee was the best officer
in the army.
1t was very interesting to us who
know so well how Lee conducted himself
in the great war, to have the details of
his splendid performances in those earlier
DAYS brought before us by the rapid and
strong strokes of the accomplished ora
tor. 1t was shown that the success, the
victories won by the American army in
Mexico were largely due to the pluck,
the energy, the skill and intrepidity OF
him whose memory we revere because
of his heroiSm in our own generation.
When the agitation that brought on
secession indicated that the country was
to be divided in twain, Lee, said Mr..
Averitt, was disinclined to abandon the
Union. He loved his flag under which
he had risen to eminence in his profess
sion. But he loved still more his State
and his people. Duty called, and he
obeyed. He resigned his commission,
although offered the command of the
Federal army and retired to Virginia.
But again duty called, and he accepted
the command of the forces raised by the
State of Virginia. Then was ushered
in the second period of his life-that in
which he won the admiration of the
world because he was more in the eyes
of mankind.
The account of those years of heroic
endeavor was much compressed, but the
orator brought out the salient features of
Lees career while in command of the
army of Northern Virginia. Those We're
the greatest campaigns ever fought
beginning with the battles around Rich
mond and ending at Cold Harbor, where,

MAJ HALE INTERVENE o
SAYS THE DEMOCRATS OF FAYETTEVnLE
DlSRE ABOLITION OF DiSPENSARy.
After that is Gore, he Says The Proper Plan is
to Submit Question of thea-G ispensary
to tie People Under The
New Election Law.

Maj. Hale, editor of the Fayetteville
Observer, had this to say yesterday, rel
ative to the Fayetteville dispensary:
The statement that THE advocates of
Il dispensary object to letting 1000 ne
groes vote ON the proposition" Ito re-
peal the present Sutton law as being
against the principle of white suprem-
acy," does not correctly represent the
position of those who oppose the pres
ent law.
The opponents Of the present law take
the broad ground that a law which was
forced upon the people of Fayetteville
without being submitted to vote OF
the people, by a legislator in the last
Assembly who was elected by the solid
negro VOTE should be wiped off thu
statutes by a Legislature elected by the
white people, as a just restitution AMI
for the sake of restoring the status quo
ante Sutton. And they feel, with all
respect, that such restoration is the
more incumbent upon our Democratic
majority because they know, as Col
Cunningham declared today, that the
act was put through by Mr.. Sutton as
a punishment to the Democrats of Fay
etteyile for sending committee to RAJ
eigh to defeat, and which did defeat
his negro police bill.
The proposition to submit the question
of the restoration of the status quo ant
Sutton to vote If the people does not
originate with the advocates OF suca res
.oration 1t is the result of their VII
lingness to go half way in meeting the
views of the advocates of the retention
Of the Sutton act. In other words, Il
is concession CT compromise, so rha!
whatever of illogic may result is not of
the making of the advocates of rcstJra.
ton
The natural process, say the advocates
of restoration. is the unconditional re-
peal of the spiteful Sutton act, and
then the submission to a vote of the
people Of any affirmative legislation in
the election of a dispensary which the
advocates of a dispensary may formu-
late.
The great majority of the Democrats
of Fayetteville, in my opinion, desire
such course as | have described to be
pursued. With the merits or dement's OF
n dispensary as cOntrasted with high
license, there is a less choatic feeling
because the details of the subject have
not been matter of study with the
mass of people. But they would. nc
doubt. enter upon such a study in time
for an intelligent vote if the subject
We're properly presented to them by an
affirmative dispensary bill.

1t was a pleasant affair at the hall of
fhe House of Commons last night. A
large assemblage greeted Rev. j. &.
Averitt, who had been invited to deliver
his address on the life and characte' of
| Gen. r. e. Lee, as a fitting observance
of the birthday of the great Southern
chieftain.
Washington, the prototype of Lee, and
Vance, who had been his co-laborar in
the string days of the Confederacy,
seemed to look down approvingly from
their places on the right and left of the
speaker
DR.. Avirett wore the handsome Con
I. federate uniform presented to him by
Capt. Wyatt l.. McGhee's company. the
Franklinton Rifles. He was introduced
in most happy style by Mr.. Frank
Thompson, of Onslow, who represents
the county in which DIR. Avirett's hey
hood was spent.
The address had been prepared with
care and was in keeping " it'll the sui ject,

were well rounded; while here and there

test men to select for this important
task, no three better men could be
found than James A. Bryan, of Craven;
Charles Dewey, of Wayne; or Jesse
w. Granger. of Lenoir. Each OF them
has managed his own affairs with nb.l-
ity and possesses the confidence of the
people of the State. No mistake will be
made in selecting any one of the three.
AS the nine members of the Board Of
Internal improvements are to name
the directors of the A. and y. {. IL. H.,
the contest will come over the election
by the Legislature of the member from
each district. AS we understand it, the
plan is for the Democratic members of
each Congressional district to meet and
select a director. OF course the friends
of the the different aspirants will en-
deavor to get a member who will vote
for directors favorable to his candidate.
And it viii be a pretty fight.
The same course is to be pursued in
selecting directors of the North Carolina
Railroad. While the contest for the
presidency of that road has not yet de-
yeoped, it may be safe to say that there
will be not Il few candidates for dl-
rector. The duties of president and
directors are merely nominal but under
the terms of the lease each director
gets a pass on the Southern Railroad Ia

board), and the president gets a small
salary for doing next to nothing.
There are also the offices of secretary and
treasurer, which pays something like

said MI Averitt, Lee reached the zenith
of his military glory.
1t was then that Grant, finding it inn
poss bic to beat Lees army in battle,
divided his own forces and removed
the scene of conflict from the battle
fed to the trenches around Petersburg,
In treating of the incompatible officers
and soldiers who, under Lees leadership,
made the Confederate Flag immortal,
Mr.. Averitt paid a warm tribute to
StonewallJackson that marvel of the bat
tle-field-and to the other gallant officers
whose names emblazon the pages # his
tory.
The last period was when he con-
sidered Lee in peace-as the teacher
of young men, being the President of
Washington and Lee College. And this
part of the address was likewise full of
interest.
"Ah! exclaimed Mr. Avirett, had there
been no Lee, there had been no Grady,
whose eloquence startled New England
in these latter years" The military SER
vices of Lee give MIN rank among
the immortals, but Mr.. Aver1tt contend
ed that over and beyond that, Lee rose
superior to all other men because of his
character. In the earlier part of his
address he had linked the names of
Washington and Lee together, and at
his close, he laid stress on the grand
character of the man that more than
paraIieled the massive character of
Washington. And he urged that the
young men of the South should find in
Lee an examplar, for he said God has
given him to us" and he still lives in
his influence upon us and he can never
die.
The address abOunded in fine thoughts
and elevated sentiments, and many pas
sages were distinguished for their bold
ness of conception and admirable finish.
In all respects, it was Il felicitous presen-
tation of great subject by one in thor
ough harmony with the theme. Elegant
and chaste, it often rose to periods of
splendid eloquence and the delivery was
fervid and in the best style of the gifted
orator.
After DR.. Avirett had finished and
the spontaneous applause had subsidized,
Mr.. J. E. W.Sugg, member from Greene
who was himself brave soldier under
Lee, invited all present to come up and
shake hands with the orator and devoted
Confederate. The reception that fol-
lowed was pleasant close of an evening
that will be long remembered.

any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach so much
