petitions in favor of the special bill
would leave US silent as regards the gem

Robson wants the strictest prohibition
for herself, and this can be secured only
by the enactment Of the London bill with
Robeson excepted from the application of
the repeating caluse- This would give US
exactly what we want. 1t would leave
us what we have, would give US the
prohibition of the jug trade, and at the
anne time would provide against express
offices On the borders OF adjoining coun-
ties becoming dumping places for liquor
ordered by Robson county people and
also rendezvous for blind tigers who
might flood the adjoining territory. AS

the liquor dealer. Since temperance has
come forward in the State, the public
school term has been increased, and il
literacy reduced about eight per cent.
The rising tide of temperance has
brought flood of prosperity along all
the streams of business life. The pass

Temperance Legislation Net ded.

To the Editor: l want to urge, through
your colmns, the passage of the London
BiH. The Democratic party has bright
example of the loyalty Of the Temper
ancc people in the affairs in old Cum
berland. When a committee from Cum
bcrland appeared before the Legislative
committees to advocate dispenSary, the
liquor advocates said we were not Demo
Gratis and the measure would defeat the
amendment and in other elections, the
Democratic party. The results IN these
elections in old Cumberland have SHOWN
that the Liquor Dealers Association IS
false prophet The temperance people
have shown their fidelity to the party
loyalty untarnished by the blood OF our
fellows, and the shuderings of women
and children. For years they nave
meckly accepted every favor granted py
the Legislature and gladly co-operated
in every measure for the good or our
good old North State. We have never
made any threats, but have gone on year
after year bearing our burdens without
kicking ourselves or any one else cut Oh

Robson County and Liquor Que s,ion

To the Editor: Robson to the core is
for prohibition and that of the strictest
sort This county is not satisfied with
the degree of prohibition embraced in
the London Bill. We have a law in
every respect satfsfa ctory, with the eX
ceptio1 of the prohibition of the jug
trade. Yet our people are interested in
the enactment Of a general pronibitive
law, both for the general good and for
our own protection. But here arises
a conflict of opinion which is likely to
prevent this great countys bringing to
bear in full force upon the General AS
sembly her immense moral infiuence-in
behalf OF a general prohibition measure.
Ourfrst interest is to retain our pres
ent laws, and further to increase their
efficiency by the enactment of an anti
jug law, while our secondary purpose is
to help break up the general business
Throughout. the State. Now, the conflict

Greenwood, full-blooded Indian from

the charge of introducing liquor into

commit suicide in the Lawrence

top of the cage, striking on his head.
The distance was not great enough to
accomplish his desire, being less than
ten feet, and the only result was to
bruise him about the head and shoul-
ders. He seemed frenzied, and not
being permitted to repeat the leap
from the cage, he endeavored to gouge
his eyes out with button hook, be-
cause, as he said, he could not see
well.
