FIRST ANTI-skLOON GUN.
Ex- Mayor Mccall Speaks at Durham---A Rush
to Register.

Especial to News and Observer
Durham, N. c., April 20.-The first gun
Of the anti-saloon campaign was fired
here yesterday afternoon when ex-MayOr
j. d. Mccall of Charlotte, delivered
temperance lecture in the opera house.
There was q large audience present and
the address was a very able one for the
anti-saloon side of the question. On the
rostrum with the speaker sat all the min
listers of the city and the officers and exc
cutiVe committee of the anti-SaIoon
league. The stand taken by the speaker
was for absolute prohibition. He told of
the evils of the saloon and of drink He
took the stand that if the dispensary was
a good thing then absolute prohibition
would be better. At times he was elo-
quent and always logical.
The address Of Mayor Mccall was the
first of number of speakers who will
visit Durham in the interest of prohibit
ton. The line is now clearly drawn.
The fight is on for the abolition of the
saloons in the city. The anti-saloon peo-
pie are in the present campaign with the
hope of electing a board of aldermen
who will refuse license to saloons. If
they fail in this an election will be
called later in the year in which there
will be a warm fight
On account of the increased interest
in the coming election there was quite Il
rush to register Saturday. There are
now between five and six hundred regis
tered-very small, it is true-but much
larger than was expected. BY next Sat
urday night there will be about one
thousand or twelve hundred.
This morning fine horse belonging to
A. b. Matthews, the druggist. was ruined
at the Southern depot. While crossing
the railroad the guard lowered the gate,
striking the horse. This caused the ami
NAL to rear and plunge breaking the
shaft and driving it through the shoulder
of the horse The animal may have to
be killed.
Mr.. S. l.. Adams, of Elon College, who
has been under treatment at a hospital
in Baltimore is now at Alton, Virginia,
where he will spend sometime. He is
still very feeble, but Is much better and
hopes to be able to reach home this
week or next Mr.. Adams has a large
number of friends throughout the State
who will be glad to hear of his improved
condition.
Rev R. C. Beaman. pastor of Trinity
Methodist church. left this morning for
Wilson, where he will assist in a series
of meetings this week. He will return
to the city the latter part of this week
and fill his regular appointments here
on Sunday.
Col. John S. Cunningham, of Person
county, was in the city a short while
this morning. Speaking of the crop out
| look he said that it was not very bright
| for tobacco. The continued wet weather
| is preventing the preparation of grounds
| for planting, and in the meantime the
plants are getting too large, he said
when speaking of the situation. Il am
| glad to see" he said, that the farmers
| are planting more grain this year than
| heretofore. This is a good sign and
| means good. ="

PUBLIC SCHOOL PROGRESS.
Franklin County Consolidating Districts and
Creating Good School Houses

Franklin county in every way is one Of
the best counties in the State. There is
no higher average of rural population in
North Carolina 1t is going forward in
public education.
At the April meeting of the county
board of education, without a dissenting
voice in the communities, six white
schools in one township were consolidated
into two One of the large districts is
to have an $500 building and the other a
$500 building, half of the money in each
case having already been donated by citi-
zens. Four other communities applied
for consolidation with an offer of $3.50
each TO consolidate about ten schools.
This consolidation will probably be ac-
complished in the near future, as the
campaign for it is now going on. In
Dunn's township three public school
houses have been built this year at an
average cost of $500 each. The whole
township is about ready to vote a special
tax for schools. Pilot school, of which
Miss Una Davis is the teacher, with a
total school population of seventy-eight
children, has an enrolment of seven two
and an average daily attendance for the
entire term of Sc Ia.
