THE LONDON BILL.

The London bill regulating the liquor
traffic was next taken up and the first
argument was made mostI ably, elo-
quentIy and forciblg by Senator R. b,
White.
Senator White, in his opening remarks,
expressed happily the idea that there was
a singular unaninlty in the demand for
temperance legislation and in the in
dictment of the liquor traffic which had
pleaders, but no champion, a traffic which
has not appeared to defend itself of the
charges of wrong brought about by it.
He stated he was not a prohibitionist
and would not vote for State prohibition,
but he would go further than some. While
nc rejoiced that it was a movement fa-
vored by the ministers and by the wo-
men, these were not all who favored it.
"The women have suffered in silence,
have wept in secret because they knew
not the language with which to reach the
w-makers, but in this day they have
learned how We may be reached, and
their appeals have found their way to
u.s."

is not woman movement, it is not q
childrens movement though all these
bless it, but it represents the united
aims and purposes of all the forces which
are working for the best interest of the

LUsK SAYS TAX RECEIPTS
WE'RE GIVEN TO N0E-PAYERs.
He Makes in the Gudger Contested Election
Case Sensational Charges Against
Democratic Officials.
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
Asheville, N. c., Feb 2O.-Argument
in the Gudger contested election case was
resumed this morning, and something Of
a sensation was created when Col. Lusk,
counsel for contestant. made a public
charge that the tax collector of Bun
combe county had in effect violated the
law by issuing non paid poll tax receipts
and that the Governor of the State had
publicly declared at Asheville that the
State Treasury was "at the back of any
person indicted for the alleged violation
of the election law"
Both counsel were quite fervent and
Garter said the contestants should bring
to justice the thieves and scOundrels
who had been guilty of the infamous con-
duct charged" and was shocked that
counsel should attribute dishonest mo-
tives to officials of his native State. Then
Lusk made the sensational statement
that it was an open secret generally
known on the streets of the city during
the day of election as we'll as before
that partisans of the contestee had been
furnished with an unlimited supply of
non Paid tax receipts to be distributed to
such voters as had not paid their poll
tax OH or before the first of May preced-
ing the day of election as could be in
duced to vote for contestee. and that said
non paid poll tax receipts had been and
were being distributed on the day Of cleo
tion by partisans of the contestee, and
further, it was generally known that eX-
emptions from the payment of poll tax
had been granted a libitum by alleged
authority of the board of county com
missioners in violation of the constitu-
tional provision and without regard to
fact as to whether the applicant or voter
was rich or poor, infirm or strong,
healthy man, the only requirement being
that he would vote for the contestee
and the emocratic ticket"
Carter said that if this charge was true
the contestants should be indict the
criminals. as they had a decided party
advantage on both State and Federal
courts and should name the men who
violated the law. Lusk said he had seen
these non paid receipts after May 1st

Vance Groans Under Mud.

Henderson. n. c.. Feb. 20-The roads
throughout Vance county are simply i'm
passable and the people are now con-
WINGED that unless we do something for
better roads and have permanent sys-
TEN for working them the country and it's
produce will be hereafter shut off from
market 1t would be a great thing for
this little county that bears so noble a
name if it's people would take solid
stand for better roads and ask the pres
ent Legislature grant them bonds for
this purpose. There is nothing that
would so increase the land value of our
county and add greater to the conven-
fence of our people, both in towns and in
the country.

THE SCARCITY OF CARS

New York, Feb. 2O.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
"Wintry weather has retarded but not
checked spring jobbing trade, which
despite drawbacks, is still far in ad-
vance of a year ago. Retail business has
been more noticeably affected and buy
ing has been lessened temporarily. This
has also further accentuated the VeXed
transportation problem The favorable
side of the weather situation is unques-
tionably the heavy snow, which has
covered the entire surplus producing
winter wheat belt. putting that plant
temporarily at least, beyond danger from
seasonal changed. Other developments
of the week have been mostly favorable.
The price situation, indeed, taken as q
whole, is a remarkable one. Country
produce, particularly butter and eggs. has
displayed exceptional strength, while the
great majority of staples retain all their
old steadness except where further ad-
vances are noted, as in the case of cot
ton goods, which are very strong at the
highest prices in years. Collections are
rather better as a whole, ranging from
fair to good the country over Industry
is active, limited only by transportation
facilities.
Cotton reached and passed ten cents
this week, heavy speculative buying be-
ing reported in New York, New Orleans
and Liverpool. While this has been
largely manipulative, additional strength
was given by the reduced movement of
the crop, claimed to be due to bad
weather. Over and beyond all, however,
was the strength impaired by the active
demand for finished products reported, it
being a sellers market for nearly all
classes Of cotton goods. The advance
price Of cotton yarns is reported to have
discouraged business, but manufacturers
Offering to buy have done a fair business.
