AND DRUGGISTS WHO
SHOULD BE UNFR0CKED.

There are no professions more useful,
more honorable, more esteemed among us
than the practice and compromising of
medicine. In North Carolina there are
no men anywhere who stand higher in
their community as moral and civic
leaders than our doctors and our drug
gsts. They lead in right living and In
right thinking. But as even in the ministry
there are black sheep among these noble
men who contribute much to relieve the
diseases of men In more than one COM
munity in North Carolina prohibition
has been made farce, because some I'M
worthy doctor or druggist, or both, give
prescriptions when not needed and dis
pensed whiskey ad libitum in violation OF
law The Watts act is stringent with
respect to that class of doctors and
druggists. AS proof that there are TN
worthy men in these honest professions,
we quote the following from the Stanly
Enterprise:
New London became aroused on the
liquor question last week and preferred
charges against the local physician and
druggist. AS result thorough in
vestigation was made, and it was found
that the law had been grossly violated.
The citizens were only anxious to stop
the sale of whisl1ey in their midst, and
a compromise to the effect that the ply
stefan write no more prescriptions and
the druggist forfeit his license to sell
liquor was entered into and an amicable
settlement made"

Ladies Gallery" Opened to Negroes.

washington Telegram to The New Or
leans Times Democracy
During the last few days the "ladies'
gallery" in the house has been opened
to negroes. This has never been the
case before, and the innovation at this
time, when the negro question is so
prominent in the newspapers, is consid-
cred significant. The gallery in ques-
ton is the one to the left of the press
gallery. 1t is reserved for women and
their escorts. and when the gallery is
not full men of respectable appearance
who have no women with them are
sometimes admitted. Negroes have never
heretofore been admitted. In some way
it has apparently become known among
the negroes of Washington that the ban
has been. taken off so far as this gall
lery is concerned, and they have been
patronizing it very extensively. Many
of them have come without bringing wo-
men with them. Parties of three and
four have been entering the gallery. To-
day there were more of them in the
ladies gallery than in the galleries
usually occupied by them.

TOO MANY SUCH ATTEMPTS.
Chatham Observer.
Judge PEBBLES who sent to Jail the
foreman of the jury and the defendant
who had been seen talking to each other
deserves commentator and it will be
lesson to others. There are too many
attempts to influence the jury to bring
in verdcts contrary to the evidence and
the judge who nips these in the bud and
sends the offender to Jail deserves the
support of all honest citizens. It may
not be wrong for one of the litigants and
the jury to associate together pending
the trial but it has the appearance of
evil and ought to be punished for our

LIQUOR LICENSE IN NEW YORK.

The liquor dealers evidently feel like
the policemen that their lot sis not
happy one" Not only in the Southern
States are dispensaries and prohibition
laws driving them out of business, but
in New York they are being taxed heav-
lily. The new law that Governor Odeil
has caused to be introduced in the New
York Legislature will yield in round
figures $1S.5OO,OOO, one-half to go to the
State. This would give the State $1,000
OoO more than it now receives from liquor
license.
