Vivid slang Of the Day.

months ago. that Ii to say. before the river
assumed its coating of ice, and must have
been voyaging In the Atlantic all through
the winter months. Its course directed pos

OF the government toward Ireland. His

II is recognized on all hands that his in

There is no doubt that the king helped to
bring about the end OF the South African
war. and Liberals are now inclined to the
opinion that the resignation of Lord Sails
bury, which is attributed to his majesty,
paved the way to better understanding
of the Irish question. The ex-premier they
always maintained, was strongly anti
IRISH and yet strangely enough, when his
resignation did take place, they did not
hesitate to lay the blame upon his majesty
and ascribe the immediate cause as diff

coronation honors. The story at the time

LIQUOR FIGHT IS NOW ON.
=.
COUNSEL FOR DISTILLERS
HAVE THE FIRST SAY.
SOME LIVELY
REPARTEE.
The First Round of the Liquor
Fight Was Pulled Off Yes
terday Afternoon. There
Was Blood drawn on
Both Sides.

Raleigh News & Observer, Jan Fl.
The first round of the liquor fight
was pulled off yesterday afternoon.
Blood was drawn on both sides in
one Or two little scrimmages on the
side.
But it was the liquor mems inn
ing. They were allowed a say with
out reply.
That say was had by ex-State Sen
atoF Cameron Morrison, of Rocking
ham, who was paid, as he said, to
fight the liquor bills by the distillers
of Richmond county.
There were several other lawyers
representing the liquor men at yes
tefday's hearing before the Joint
Committee on Propositions and
Grievances in the Senate chamber.
They were:
W. T. Dortch, Of Goldsboro, rep
resenting the Liquor Dealers Asso-
citation.
T. G. Guthrie, of Charlotte, repre-
senting the liquor distillers and
dealers of Mecklenburg.
S. G.. Mewborne, Of Wilson, rep
resenting the distillers of Wilson.
There was noticed among the out
of-town attendants upon the meeting
Glenn Williams, Of Yadkin, son Of
well known Nick Williams, and
maker of the "Old Nick'' whiskey
He only put in n remark at the
meeting yesterday.
Then there was a delegation from
Tredell county, composed of J. III
Hoffman, J. W. Brown, G. B. Webb
and J. A. Hartness.
Nearly an hour of the time yester
day was consumed in an argumen1
as to which side should begin the
discussion.
The liquor side seemed unwilling
to start off, as they did not want tx
leave their arguments behind then
in the hands of the other side.
On the other hand the advocate:
of the Watts and London bills haC
understood that yesterday and to-day
had been set apart for the arguments
against the bills.
For awhile it looked as if there
would be a deadlock almost as tight
as the one on the Senatorial question
when finally Mr.. Watts volunteered
to explain his bill, which he did ir
the briefest manner possible.
The committee will hear argument
on the London liquor bill next Wed
nesday and Thursday afternoon.
