BARRE, VT, MARCH 10, 1901

| "oH az burlington and
hu1land' with some encouragement
from the fraternity in other sec.
lions, have donned the war paint and
promise to follow up the crusade
already begun with sometbiog like
practical organized effort to de.
feat the prohibitory law at the
next session of the Legislature. Yer
mont mas many men of many minds.
Some OF them will bitterly oppose the
movement, others will treat it with
Indifference and some will favor it.
Inc chances are that they will turn
the balance of the scales just enough
10 secure a majority of the representa-
lives in'l9o2an they may be even mt G
successful. We credit the leaders wi h
possessing sincerity of purpose and
yet we cannot believe but that should
they organize the same forces into
one united effort to see that the law
now in existence is enforced that they
would meet with better results. 1t is
but fair however, that the public
should learn of their intentions from
headquarters. We therefore present
the Burlington News version of the
Local Option League meeting at Rut.
land and the plans proposed. The News
says: "Friday's meeting was one of the
most earnest, sincere and well con-
Quoted meetings ever held in Vermont.
1t was comp sed of a lot Of detemin.
ed and courageous men, who have not
entered on this fight for liberty,
either in Il spirit of fun or for rum.
The meeting contained business men,
lawyers, doctors-aIl self-respecting
citizens, some OF them total abstainers
from liquor. Those present had
words of approval aud encouragement
from large number of good citizens
who could not come, including the
two distinguished prelates, the
Bishops Of Vermont. 1t is nobody's
business, even in Vermo 1T, what a |
private club does at it's dinner. But
for the pleasure CD of the critics
there is no harm 10 saying that no |
liquor of any kind was served at the |
banquet, nothing stronger than Apol-
linaris water, and the citizens who
partook of the banquet showed neither
intolerance, nor intemperance of any
kind, but calm determination IN the
work they had begun. The Local
Option cause will be conducted by
men in a self-respect-
ing way. The League will appeal to
the intelligent and reasoning voters
Of Vermont for a reconsideration of
the liquor question, knowing that
the people of this state when they un-
1erstand the situation will wipe out
prohibition. The League propo e.
TO appeal to the people without pas
sion, in spirit Of tolerance and tenn.
oerance. Its members we'll know
that the conservative people Of Yer
mont are never in haste to change
policies. But they also know that a
people of the general intelligence of
The Vermont people will not fool with
long when they know the
esults produced by this infamous law.
There will be more light diffused
through the state during the next
ear than for long time past. And
,ood people of every belief will re-
dice that the question is to have +
rec discussion.

Objection is raised to the modern
long range military rifle, on the
grounds that it will tend to develop
near-sightedness amongst the soldiers.
Doubtless there are moments when
the soldier in the front rank of
the battle line wishes that he were
near sighted.

Oliver Greer, a negro buck, about
20 years of age, is in the Anderson
county Jail charged with having COM
mitted criminal assault upon the
person of Miss Rebecca Ann Kelly, a
maiden lady of SIS years old, in the
afternoon of December 7th. The
negro accomplished his purpose after
a desperate struggle, during which
the lady's face and shoulder were
horribly bruised and piece of fest
was almost severed from her arm by
the negros teeth. The officers Of
the law were notified of the crime
about two hours after it was COM
mitted and went at once to the scene
with bloodhounds. The dogs struck
a trail at the house and followed i,
directly to negro's cabin about two
miles away. Five negroes were
arrested and taken before Miss Kell, =,
who promptly identified Greer a.
her assailant. An unsuccessful at
tempt was made to lynch the negro.
and be was safely landed in Jail

Congress has been in session now
for little over a week. The Presi.
dents message was read in both
houses. It was a thoughtful paper
and dealt with the questions consid.
cred in an able and statesmanlike
manner. Among the first measures
disposed of was the passage Of q
joint resolution ipquiring into the
cost of removing the government ex-
hibit from Buffalo to Charleston.
The most sensational incident of the
session 80 far was the spat between
Senators Tillman and McLaurin.
1t is a pity that these two statesmen
should so far forget the dignity of
the position they occupy as to descend
to the level of ward politicians.
They both hold high commissions
from the people of South Carolina
and they should certainly appreciate
the exhsulted honor the people have
clothed them enough to cease their
personal snarls and their examinations
and recriminations. If they cannot
get along in peaca and harmony they
should agree to disagree and let the
matter rest. The new Hay-Paunce-
forte treaty is being considered in
executive session, and it is very prob
able that, in the absence of some
thing better, it will be acceptable to
a majority of the members of Con-
gress and the great isthmian canal
will be built. There are many other
measures of moment that are likely
to be productivs If considerable de-
bate as the session progresses, among
the most important will be the ship
subsidy and reciprocity.

Selma Notes.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
The cotton crop is all picked and
nearly all sold.
Corn is the shortest ever known in
this section and from present indica-
tions the price will be very high.
So the outlook for another year is
not very bright. As rule farmers
are putting in more small grain than
usual, but the weather has not been
such as to cause a good stand.
It seems now that We will have q
severe winter, two SHOWS already,
and this is only the first winter
month.
The river is lower now than it has
been at any time during the year.
Harry Addy, an old colored man
generally known as the ''Boss" fisher
man of these parts, has been catch
ing some fine German carp in Broad
river, toe largest Ct which weighed
eighteen pounds. It took him about
three hours to bring the fish in after
having it hooked.

Our Rounds Completed.

Monday morning, November 70,
we left home bright and early just IS
the rays of the morning sun we're
reaching out in the Eastern horizon
to kiss the glistening dew drops from
the flowers of the field and forest, to
complete the last round of the county.
With the head of our horse turned in
the direction cf Pliceville, We pro-
ceeded in an easy jog and arrived at
about IL o'clock, q. m, without incl
dent worthy of note. Here We re-
ceived most cordial welcome from
our old friend, G.. Franklin Keisler,
and his hospitable and pleasant
family in their comfortable home.
Here it vas our privilege to enjoy q
most elegant dinner prepared in Mrs.
Keisler's best style.
After completing the collections
in the afternoon, we had de-
lightful drive over splendid roads, If
the stumps and roots were removed
which passed through piney ridges
and velvetry valleys, we reached the
home of Mr.. George Sbirey, who is
one of the cleverest aud most popular
gentlemen of his section. Mr.. Shirley
is progressive and successful mill
man and has accumulated quite 8
property by his industry. Our stay
beneath his roof was very pleasant
and it was with regret that the time
arrived for our departure.
After refreshing slumber and a
hearty breakfast we left in company
with the Treasurer for our next sp-
pointment, which was q Craps Mill,
where We met many sturdy sons OF
toll. These people are honest and
industrious in their habits and kind
hearted and generous in their dispo-
sition, and generally are prompt in
discharging their obligations to State
and county. We missed the familiar
form of our erstwhile friend, Mr.. S.
W. Craps, but was rejoiced to find
Mr.. Ed. Addy, who was preparing to
move into his new home, the old
Craps homestead, which he had re-
Gently purchased.
Near II m. we left for Crouts
store, and after partaking heartily OF
q substantial dinner with Mr.. Frank
W. Shealy We returned and remained
until late in the afternoon. That
night We spent with the Treasurer
where We were most kindly and hos
pitably entertained by himself and
wife. We had delightful time.
During the course of the evening
Mr. John Lsngford called and enter
ssined US with pleasing vocal and
instrumental music which was En-
joyed by all.
Our last appointment was at MIR.
Paul Blacks, where only few tax-
payers met US, and after transactiDg
our business here We started for
home where We arrived in due time.
Treasurer Shealy was we'll received
by the people at every appointment
and his courteous manner and pleas
ing address has won for him many
friends. The promptness with which
ne served them in having their re-
ceipts filed out made the system be
