SPEAKING AT NEUsE FALLS.
Mr. Jas. H. Pou. and Congressman Atwater
Make Votes For the Amendment

Yesterday evening at o'clock Mr.. Jas
H. Pou and Congressman Atwater add
dressed a crowd, consisting of about $50
of the most substantial men in the neigh
borhocd Of Neuse Falls. A great many
came to the speaking undecided as to
how they would vote on the amendment,
but after the two splendid speeches, the
majority of them saw that there was no
reason for them to vote against it.
Mr. Pou spoke for about one hour. Mr.
Pou is very easy in his manner, and if
he has a superior on the stump he has not
been seen lately. He made the essen
tial facts of the amendment so plain
that no man open to conviction can deny
the business of his argument.
When Mr.. Pou had concluded, Con-
gresham Atwater addressed the crowd,
and made thrilling and telling speech.
Mr. Atwater endorsed the Democratic
nominees on the county and State tickets,
and urged upon the people the ne
cessity of passing the amendment Mr..
Atwater is a farmer and the majority of
his hearers were farmers, and his words
seemed to very forcibly impress his hear
ers He told them that he had been a
POpulist, but had left the party when
it came to depend on dickering with ne
gro voters for it's votes.

Each Man Must Have License.

State Treasurer Worth is sending out
a circular letter to sheriffs and taX-col-
lectors calling their attention to the de-
cision of the Supreme court in the case
of State VS.. Morrison relative to liability
to license tax of person selling pianos
and organs. Section q. Revenue Act Of
1899, requires that Every person, com
pany or manufacturer who shall engage ia
the business of selling pianos or organs
by sample, list or otherwise, in this
State, shall before selling or offering for
sale any such instrument pay to the sher-
if or tax collector, tax Of ten dollars
on each brand and obtain a license which
shall operate one year from its date,
and all licenses provided for in this sec
ton shall be countersigned by the regis
ter of deeds, and shall not be valid I'M
less so countersigned. The court has de-
cided that each agent or salesman offer
ing pianos or organs for sale shall pro-
cure a license from the sheriff for each
kind Of instrument having a separate or
distinct name, sold by him or them. 1t
is the duty of the sheriff to see that every
person selling pianos or organs in his
county has license as above stated.

POLICE COMMITTEE MEET.
They Grant License to All the Applicants Elk
cent Two.

The Police Committee met yesterday
evening at the mayors office to consider
the matter of granting liquor license for
the next six months.
All those who are at present in the
liquor business in this city made applica-
tion for license except two firms. These
arc Messrs. Blcdsoe, whose establishment
is in outside east, and Bachelor, on Will
miugton street
The only applications that were refused
were these of w. II. Hood, who has for
some time conducted saloon on Martin
street, and James Terrell, who applied in
the place Of Bledsoe. The refusal to
-tant the license in these particular
cases is said to be ION general principles. "
The Committee decided to present the
application of Rochelle to the board with
out preiudice-making no recommends
ton at all as to whether it be granted
or not.
The Police Committee is composed of
Messrs. Parrish. Wynne and BEDFORD
The Board of Aldermen meets today to
consider the report of the Police Commit
tee, and it is thought that the recon
mendatcrs of the committee VIII be
adopted in every instance, and that it will
refuse to grant license to Rochelle, in
whose case the committee made no
recommendation.

A chapter of orphans from the Oxford

wherever these children appear, should

of them and the cause they represent.
The Oxford asylum is now caring for
over 220 children who are destitute and
homeless. 1t is giving them an English
education, teaching as many of the as
possible some useful trade or vocation,
giving them moral and religious instruc-
ton and making an effort to send them
forth workers instead Of drones, Chris

menace5 to society.
Speaking of the concert given there last
Wednesday evening the Henderson Her
aid says:

siastc and appreciative audience, which
the little folks completely captured with
their opening chorus and which they
easily held throughout the entire pro-
gram to the closing piece, which was
medly of popular airs, closing with
"Dixie" sung by the entire class. The
nroeram was an excellent one every
number being well rendered. The APP
nIausc and encores were loud and fire.
