of Halifax, and DR.. Alexander, of Neck
lenburg, spoke for the bill.

SON Mr.. Drewry and Mr. Kicks consti-
tute the committee. They will meet

There was a warm time over the bill
to incorporate the town of Shore, Yad
| kin county.
Mr.. Watts charged that the purpose of
| the bill was to permit the Shore Distil
| lery to operate, and did all he could to
defeat the bill.
| Mr.. Murphy on the other hand for the
| Committee on Counties, Cities and Towns,
| claimed the bill had merit, that the
incorporation was desired by all the peo-
| pie of the place, about 400 of them.
| There was a very refreshing exchange
| of bouquets between Messrs. Watts and
/ Murphy.
| The bill finally passed by vote of 81
| to 40 on it's second reading, after two
| amendments offered by Mr.. Watts Were

| the manufacturing of liquor within the
corporate limits.
