ing the Board of Aldermen of the city OF
Greensboro to appropriate an amount not eX
ceeding $1,000 as loan for the establishment
of the dispensary provided for in said Act
is in violation of Section Article VII of the
Constitution-the appropriation not being a
necessary expense of the city government
but the unconstitutional provision does not rem

soners, 125 n G. 46S.
Where act of the Legislature providing
for the sale of spirituous liquors in a city con
fers the appointment of the members of The
"dispensary" board upon the Board of Alder
of the city, with power in the aldermen
to receive and pass upon the bonds of tht
secretary and treasurer of the "dispensary" anC
providing for removals from the dispensary boarC
by the resident Judge of the District, the dis
pensary board are not in such case the agents
of the city, but are the agents of the State
and said act is not construed an amendment
+ 10 the city's charter.
Although the defendant city of Greensboro
averred it's purpose not to make the loan to
the "dspensary board as provided for in the
act, the trial judge committed no error II
continuing the order restraining the city from
opening the dispensary and from contracting
debts, pledging its faith etc, to that end.

Mr., VANDERBILT
OFFERS PRIZES
To the Students of the A. &
M. College.
WILL VISIT BILTM0RE
Pleasant Outings Planned by President Win
ston.
STUDENTS GOING TO NEwBERN FAIR
Also Visits Will be Paid to Col. Julian s. Carr
Occoneechee Farm Near Hillsboro
and to Southern

President Winston, of the Agricultural
and Mechanical College, is believer in
the educational value of travel. Along
with book-learning he thinks there should
go bit of experience, touch of men
and affairs
To put this doctrine into practice as
much as possible with his own students
Dr. Winston is arranging for them a
series of trips-inexpensive, but of edu-
cational value-to the different parts OF
the State.
The first one will probably be to the
Newbern Fair on April 10th. Here will
be seen the eastern section of the State,
its people and it's products.
The next trip will be either to General
Julian S. Carrs Occonneechee Farm, near
Hillsboro, or to Mr.. George w. Wander
bits farm at Biltmore. For they will
visit both of them and on this trip they
will see the western part of the State and
study it.
To make the visit to his farm an in
teresting one, Mr.. Vanderbilt has offered
$50 in prizes to be distributed as follows:
% Fifteen dollars to the best judge of
cattle; (2) Ten dollars to second best
Judge of cattle; 60 Fifteen dollars to best
Judge of swine; (4) Ten dollars to second
best judge of swine. These prizes will
be in the form of gold coin or silver cups,
as the students may prefer.
Still another trip proposed is to South
ern Pines and Pinehurst where the lum-
Der and naval store industry of the State
may be seen and fruit growing studied.
at is pretty certain that we will 60, -
said DR.. Winston yesterday, Though of
course all these trips depend to a great
extent on our getting rates. But of that
l have no doubt. The railroads have al
ways been most indulgent and liberal
with schools in such matters, and on this
point 1 contemplate no trouble.
my plan is to take the whole battal-
ion, some 200 students, with the band.
The exact date and details of the trips
have not been arranged, but we will
probably be gone two or three days on
each trip. Mr.. Vanderbilt promises to
furnish tents for the boys if they wish to
camp out while at Biltmore."

To the Editor: While surveying the field OF
prominent and able men from whom to select a
candidate for Governor there is one, who as a
patriot, wise counselor and able leader, stands
prominent. When North Carolina called for her
best talent and true men, to rid her of the in
tolerable msrule of the Republican party, none
responded more unselfshly and unreservedly than
Charles b. Aycock and right royalty did he do
his part.
In the next campaign the Republican party will
make the fight of its life, reinforced by ample
funds from its national committee. 1t is abso-
lutely sure of polling the full negro vote this
time, without money and without price, so that
its campaign funds will be used in an effort to
corrupt and control enough white votes to de-
feat the Constitutional Amendment.
The approaching campaign will be crisis in
North Carolina and upon its result depends our
future peace and prosperity. Let make no
mistake, name Charles B. Aycock for Governor
and the fight is well begun.
