A TOWN THREE MILES SQUARE
TO MAKE ROOM FOR STILLS.

Since the passage of the Watts bill
many schemes have been invented to cir.
cumvent it in the interest of whiskey
stills and saloons. About the slickest
was buried in the bill entitled an act "Tc
Establish a Graded School at Yadkin-
Vile" 1t was a long bill and drafted
like most other bills of like character
It's title indicated that it was an alto
gether proper bill and it passed through
the Senate without opposition and passed
its second reading in the House 1t would
have passed it's third reading today and
would be law by tonight except for the
following letter, which was received by
prominent citizen of Yadkin county
yesterday. He said:
Senator Holtons bill to establish a
graded school at Yadkinville is for the
purpose of charging the corporate linn
its of the town so that whiskey distiller-
les can come in 1.-The best people of the
town oppose it, The Watts bill is a
fraud and deception if every little village
and whiskey establishment are going to
be incorporated"
An examination of Mr.. HoIton's bill 'to
establish a graded school" disclosed 'the
niger in the wood pile" in sction three,
which is as follows:
Section 8. THAT the corporate limits
of the town of Yadknvlle is hereby ex-
boI In
court house, making the corporate limits
of said town three miles square, with the
court house in the centre. But at no
place shall the corporate limits of said
town extend further than to North and
South Deep creeks, and the said town is
hereby constituted public school dis
trict"
Upon motion of Senator Hoey the bill
was recalled to the Senate. He stated
the substance of the letter quoted above
and asked Senator Holton this question:
Would you be willing to accept an
amendment provided that no liquor shall
be sold or manufactured in said town."
Mr.. Holton said such an amendment
would not suit him or the people who
wished the graded school. There was
considerable discussion about the bill,
and finally Mr. Holton agreed to an
amendment that made the school district
three miles square, but gave no extern
sion to the town limits. If school is all
that is desired. they have it. If the pu5-
pose of the bill was to open the door to
the rural sow-paw factories it has been
effectually squelched.
