IT Is UP TO THEM.

The strong sentiment against the clos
ing. without notice to the Methodist Con
ference. of Greensboro Female College
shows the strong hold that Institution has
been upon the people of the State. But,
in the present situation. this sentiment
may not make itself felt because it may
not be crystalized.
The owners of the college have de-
cliped to say whether they will sell it to
the church at the price ofN$42. 900, or any
price. they doubtless argue that the
church would not support it. But. if they
will wait until the Methodist conferences
have chance to act before consummat-
ing any sale to other parties, they will
show a desire to serve their church in
saving its Oldest educational institution.
Inc college, so we are informed, has paid
the interest on it's bonds and almost paid
expenses. II could with united effort be
made to fully pay and grow greatly in pat
ronage
II is up to the owners of the college.
viii they forego the opportunity of selling
the property at large profit in order to
give their church chance to keep open
its greatest school for women They bought
the property as Methodists in order to
save it as church school. Have they
a right as moral trustees to dispose OF
il for personal profit to the disadvantage
of the church. without giving the church
a chance to redeem it, If the
owners of the college and the other lead
ing Greensboro Methodists will do moth
ing to save the college in this crisis, from
what source can help and deliverance
come?

new SALOON LAWS
Iron Glad Regulations to Re.
strict Drink Evil.
Aldermen Of Durham Spring Surprise Upon
The Majority Of the People Of That
Progressive City.
Especial to News and Observer


Durham, N c., July THE new laws
passed by the board of aldermen last night
regulating the saloon business went into
force today. All back doors were closed
and tonight at eight o'clock the rum mills
cease to do business until tomorrow morn
ing at six o'clock
Under the new laws all saloons must
close at eight O'Clock every night and not
open earlier than six o'clock the follow
ing morning. All back doors and side
doors are done away with. Screens and
partitions and other distractions must
come down. No lunches are allowed to
be given or sold and no obsence pictures
or paintings are allowed upon the walls
Of the saloon. During the hours that the
saloon is closed no one, not even the pro-
prietor or his clerks, are allowed inside
the saloon and large light must be kept
burning so that a person can see the in
terror of the room at all times. For Yio-
lation of any one or portion of these or
dinances the offender is punishable by a
fine of $50 and he has to appear before
the board of aldermen and then show
cause why his license shall not be revoked.
This is probably the most stringent and
ron-c clad saloon law in the State. I'm
der its operations a prescription by ply
stefan cannot be filled during the hours
that the saloon is closed.
At the special meeting of the aldermen
held week ago licenses were refused all
of the applicants but nine. Last night
several OF those refused renewed their ap-
plications for license and had attorneys
to go before the board for them Rev.
r. G.. Beaman, pastor of Trinity church
and president of the anti-saloon league,
also appeared before the board and after
the talks by the lawyers he asked permits
sion to say few words. In his talk he
complimented the aldermen upon their
stand and said that it was but the first
move to close every saloon in Durham. He
spoke of the saloon evil and said that he
had sworn eternal vengeance against the
open saloon and expected to continue in
the fight until the white flag shall float
over the streets of the city and ever the
homes of the saloon keeper.
The new laws will be stringently en-
forced. This afternoon the saloon keep
ers were officially notified by the mayor
and chief of police ana they were given
fifteen days in which to arrange the inte-
rior of their bars to conform with the
new law Regarding back and side doors
and closing hours this is already in force
The matter has been the talk of the city
today While there were few who an
ticipated this action on the part of the
board the public did not think of such
thing.

OUGHT TO BE IN THE PENITEN.
TIARY.

News comes from Newton that ]. T. Me-
haffy declines to pay the $4,000 fine i'm
posed by the Governor in lieu of the SEN
tence of seven years Imprisonment in the
penitentiary.
The facts in the case were printed yes
terday. Mehaffy was convicted of an at
tempt to commit rape, the young woman
being between fourteen and fifteen years
old. A petition signed by over 1000 peo-
pie was presented to the Governor re-
questing his pardon on the ground that,
while guilty of baseness, they did not be-
lieve Mehaffy was guilty of the worse
crime. The petitioners made so powerful
an impression on the Governor that, while
refusing to grant the pardon. he decided
to commute the sentence to the peniten'
tiary upon condition that Mehaffy pay
$4,000 to the public school fund.
Mehaffy has notified the sheriff of Ca
tawba of his readiness to go to the peni-
tehtidIJ. Ii is the pace IoI Hill.
North Carolina had other than barbarous
and unciyilized age of consent law Mehaffy
have made no defense of his con-
duct. His age and his relation as en-
ployer ought to have caused him to pro-
tect the young girl whose ruin he ad
mitted seeking to accomplish. The place
for such man is in stripes.

4 NOTABLE CONVECTION.

/ Nearly every seat in the Academy of
Music was filled yesterday at the State
Convention of the North Carolina Anti.
Saloon League. 1t was body of splendid
North Carolinians. fit representatives of
the best manhood of the State They
came from as far West as Hendersonville
and Asheville and from as far East as
Morehead City and Elizabeth City. There
were men of all calIings and professions.
whose only motive in coming was prompt
ed by unselish love for their fellows and
desire to aid in lessening the greatest evil
that aff1icts mankind.
Esery man present was a partisan. He
was in that gathering non-p bipartisan. The
Anti Saloon League has no politics in it.
1t specifically declares that its members
are expected to do all they can for tenn
perance within the ranks of their own
party That is a wise declaration. The
only hope for temperance advancement is
in living up to it. Any attempt to Ego into
politics" will be disastrous to the move
ment 1t can exert powerful influence
upon all parties when the members OF
each works to secure the nomination and
election OF men who owe no allegiance
or obligations TO the liquor traffic But
if attempts are made to defeat party
because it does not do everything de-
sired, the League will go the way of all
like organizations whose leaders have
used it for political purposes.
The spirit of the convention was ad-
mirable There was enthusiasm governed
by wisdom There was sentiment con-
trolled by judgment. There was a spirit
of earnest desire to save men and boys
from the drink habit, and the hostility
to saloons and stills was not directed at
the men who run them, but at the demon
alizing and debauching trade. The still
and the saloon make men and boys drunk;
drunken men and boys commit crime, de-
stroy their better natures, and society and
the State loses thereby; therefore the
advocates are doing the home
and the State the highest service in put
ting an end to or lesscning the evils of
whiskey.
The convention urges the temperance
forces to lend their every energy to the
enforcement of all temperance legislation
already on the statute books, to secure
the closing of saloons in every community
where they are now licensed, and to do
everything possible to lessen the con-
sumption of intoxicants.
Raleigh was glad to entertain this body
OF useful and influential advocates of tenn
perance. They blessed the city by their
presence The success of their work will
help and bless every community and every
home in the commonwealth.
