TIE FIGHT AGAINST BARRooMs.
The Temperance People Do Not Yet Give Up
Difference Of Opinion.
(special 10 News and Observer.l }

Especial to News and Observer
Greensboro, N. c., Jan. 21.-The tenn
perance people have decided to make a
fight against the licensing of saloons This
will be done on the ground that there
is a difference of opinion as to just what
was meant by the vote against the dis
pensary in the white primary of last
August. mass meeting of citizens was
held in the court house yesterday after
noon and a committee appointed to take
the matter in hand. A canvass Of the
white voters Of the city win be made
and the aldermen requested to call
white primary to determine whether or
not license shall be granted.
There is a difference of opinion, even
among temperance people. as to the wis
dom Of making a fight on the liquor ques-
tion just at this time. 1t is generally
understood that a majority of the people
who voted against the dispensary voted
for bar-rooms. Then many people who
are opposed to saloons were members Of
the Democratic convention that submitted
the dispensary question to a primary and
hence do not feel that they can make
any attempt to overthrow the will of the
majority as expressed at the polls.
It is probable that Rev. G. A. jenkins,
of Tennessee, will be called to the pas
torate Of West Washington Street Baptist
church, in this city. For several years
he has been a member of the faculty of
a Baptist female seminary in Tennessee,
but it is understood that he desires to

had at former term and this time the
case promises to be bitterly fought.

ON THE BORDERS Of ETERNITY
No Hope is Entertained of the Recovery Of
Queen Victoria.
YET A SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT IS NOTED

There is little to be done officially here,
when the end comes, and that little is
perfectly we'll defined by precedent. The
President will communicate directly from
the White House an expression of his
regret to the Prince of Wales, or rather
to King Edward VII as he will be by the
time the message is indited Secretary
Hay will communicate to Ambassador
Choate an official expression of the sent-
ments of this Government. This will be
cahled also. Later on more formal eX-
changes will take place by mail.
BY this means the State Department
will be officially informed of the accession
of the new monarch to the throne. 1t
will return its official acknowledgements
and that will be all that is prescribed by
the rules of official etiquette.

SCHOOLS OR CRInINAL coURTsg
Which Of These Shall Get the County's Share of
Liquor License Revenue?
Especial to News and observer)

Especial to News and Observer
Wilmington, ~ c., Jan. 2l.--An inter-
esting question will be brought before
Judge Hoke at this weeks term by the
county commissioners of New Hanover,
ard one upon which depends the
disposition of large share
of the school funds of the county and
possibly of the State. The commissioners
contend that the county's share of the
liquor license revenue. which amounts to
about $4,000 annually here, should not go
to the school fund as it has for twenty
five years and more. but should go into
the general county fund for the main-
tenance of the criminal court.
Both sides have employed counsel and
have agreed to abide the decision of
Judge Hoke. The school authorities
claim that the State donates it's share
OF the revenue from this source to the
education Of its people.

Megaarden Denies Rumor.

Sheriff EIegaarden is emphatic in his
denial of the story that he has resigned,
or intends to resign.
1.-The rum or is absurd said the sheriff
yesterday. There is no reason why 1
should take such a STEP"
According to the story current on the
streets, Sheriff Megaarden had handed his
resignation to the county commissioners
at the suggestion of Gov. Van SAINT, who
had become convinced that something
was wrong in the sheriff Office, and
Who thought the trouble could be huShed
up if Mr.. Megaarden would resign.
The story appears to have started at
police headquarters. One of the desk ser
geants said yesterday that it had been
teIephoned to the Office
In regard to the charges that money
coming into the Office of the sheriff had
been misappropriated, Sheriff Megaarden
said:
''All fees allowed this office pass under
the scrutiny of the attorney of the board
of county commissioners before being
paid. Assistant County Attorney z. L..
Smith and I differ in regard to some OF
the items, but I never appealed from any
of his decisions
The sheriff's friends say that when the
charges against him have been sifted, 1t
will be- found that there is little founda-
tion for them.
About ten days ago the sheriff handed
the county attorney check Tor $z,Su0,
and $500 was paid over last week Other
oyercharges will be paid by the sheriff
as soon as he is notified of the amount.
