Mr.. Morgan said the three principal
towns already had dispensary, but the
complaint was that the profits from
these were not equally divided. He
claimed the profits should go to the
general school fund. These towns say
they would keep dspensary, even il

The people of the county, Mr.. Morgan
thought, We're practically unanimously
for the bill, except the liquor interests,
of course. (The towns mentioned are
Selma. Clayton and Smithlield.)
Mr.. Richardson asked that the bill be
put off until there was full house.
He said he was opposed to it.
