I have been troubled with bad

got so bad could not recognize any

Also my close vision became SO i'm

of Mr.. and Mrs. Lingerfield, especial
ly from Mrs. Frasure whom they
had also fitted with glasses. / then
consulted these opticians. They
made thorough examination of my
eyes and described my symptoms
and exact condition of my eyes
without asking a single question so
perfectly that was convinced that
they understood their business.
then ordered glasses which l must
say have given entire satisfaction as
/ can see everything at distance as
clear as in my boyhood days. Also
my close vision has been restored,
which fact am quite proud to state,
and hoping that others may be bene-
fitted as have by these people who
surely are masters Of their profess

Th9 Saloon Must Go.

To the Editor: You have acquitted
yourself nobly in the cause of temperance
legislation. You have the sympathy and
will have the continued support OF the
good people of North Carolina. The
whole State is aroused as never before on
the subject of the determination of the
Of the saloon. Occasionally some one
will pop mp and repeat the old OBJ
lection that have become obsolete, to
closing the saloons. They are opposed
to laws" when the fact is
they do not know what a sumptuary law
is They tell us it will hurt the Demo-
cratic party to legislate against liquor.
What a Islander on the Democratic party,
We are living in the day of democracy
in the best sense of the term. By de-
mocracy we mean the rule of the people.
The saloon is acknowledged to be a can
Ger on the body polite. No one can
make an argument for its existence. The
efforts in that direction mean insult to
reason and a menace to decency. The
people are the sovereigns and they are
alive to the fact that they ave nc right
to tolerate this evil any longer. The tide
is rising against the evil every day and
will never ebb until the last saloon is
forever closed.
All the pent UP feelings of a long suf-
fering people are bursting forth, and woe
be to him who stands in the way. In
1881. when the battle was joined and the
victory seemed to rest with the forces OF
evil, was the seed time. The mass of ig-
norance and ~Viciousness that stood in the
way of closing the saloons then disap-
pcared when the amendment to the Con-
stitution was adopted and an intelligent
ballet put the regulation of this with
other evils in reach of the virtue and in
telligence of the State. do not know
what the General Assembly will do. but
/ am sure the doom of the saloon in
North Carolina is sealed. I believe a
large majority of the present Legislature
are honestly trying to do the best they
can to meet the demands of the people.
Whether they are able to do just what
ought to be done remains to be seen. It
is a difficult problem to solve. ] have a
we'll defined plan in my own mind that
l believe would be a better solution of
the problem han anything yet offered;
but | haVe favored the London bill as
the best thing in sight. The Smith bill
may be as good a solution of the diff
Guilty. l pray the blessing of God on
IL representatives. May He give them
wisdom to do the right thing. / have no
fear that the day of deliverance will
come.
1t is weary watching wave by wave,
And yet the tide heaves onward;
We climb like c~orals, grave by grave,
And pave a pathway sunWard.
We are driven back for every fray,
a newer strength to borrow;
But where the vanguard camps today,
The rear shall rest tomorrow.

ty Superior court the keeper Of this dis
pensary in Littleton was presented TO
the grand jury and a true bill found fo1
selling whiskey in territory prohibited
by law. Now, when the proposition is
made to the Warren people to have d
d~ispensary for the town of Littleton. with
a fair.division Of the profits among War
rem, Halifax and the town of Littleton.
the position of the Warren county au-
thor.tics seem to be by their refusal to
mako fair terms, that they already have
a business which is paying them a hand
some income and therefore they DO not
care for any partnership. If absolute
prohibition did actually prohibit the
people of this town would favor that.
But experience here teaches to the con-
trary, therefore business men have de-
cided to ask the Legislature for a char
ter for a dispensary for the town.
With nearly all the business in Hall
fax, two-thirds of the population and
two-thirds of the territory in Halifax we
residents of Littleton on the Halifax
side shall look to our Senator and Rep
resentatives in the Legislature to take
care Of our interests and the interests
of the people of the county. The above
is the true conditions of things here.

Littlston and the Dispensary.
w. D. MORTON

Especial to News and Obscrvcr)
Littleton, n. c., Feb. 17.-The town of
L;ttleton lies in both Halifax and War
rem counties. About nine-tenths of its
business is carried on in Halifax count
territory, including the two drug stores,
the poStofice, the Postal and Western
Union Telegraph offices, all the hotels
except the Spring Park, which IS barely
across the line, the Henderson Telephone
Exchange, the dental and law offices, the
mayors office, the cotton market, where
between five and six thousand bales are
sold annually, and besides these places
Of business there are over twenty gen
oral stores on the Halifax side OF the
town while there are only five or six on
the Warren side. Heretofore this divis-
ion line has been more imaginary than
real. Our good people were seldom re
minded of the fact save when some
tranSgreSsor Of the law would eyadc q
justices writ issued by the authorities
in one or the other counties. But now
this invisible line promises TO bc a
source of controversy among those VINO
are interested in the liquor question ana
trying to minimize the obnoxious features
of the sale of the same by the establish
nJent of a dispensary for the whole town
at the same time receiving the Denlnt
arising therefrom in the way of taxes to
maintain the town government, improve
our street lights, etc, and others OF OH
fercnt views as to which is the better
plan to deal with the question. 1t Will
be remembered that in July lJol, the
board of commissioners of Halifax coun-
ty refused to grant license to anybody
to sell liquor in the town of Ldttleton-
ell of tho bars at that time and always
therefore being in Halifax county terri
terry.
This action by the commissioners was
based upon the petition of the quailfied
voters of Littlcton and upon the advice
that the territory was already prohibited
bv a statute prohibiting the sale ana
manufacture within ono mile Of Littleton
College and this view has since been
sustained by the Supreme Court III the
case of State VS.. Knots.
No sooner had the people rid them
eeIves of the saloons than the authorities
of Warren with 4 branch dlspensary pro-
vision established and has ever since
maintained a branch dispcnsary IN the
town of Littlcton drawing It's revenue
IN a very large extent if not four-hfthS
Of all its income from the people OF fiail-
fay county. while tho town OF Littielon

Miscarriage of Justice.
washington Messcngcr.)

We fail to recall a greater miscarriage
of Justice than the one that occurred in
the court house yesterday. A man ana
a woman who are members of what is
generally known as the Specification
Band. on South Creek, We're on trial
charged with living in fornication ana
adultery. The evidence cqualled any Of
the revelations made in regard to the
Mormors, when polygamy was carried Oh
in all of its glory, under the guise of re-
lIgion. One or two witnesses stated that
the man charged in the bill had been re
peatcdly heard, publicly, to proclaim in
their meetings, the woman standing over
there tmcaning his lawful wife), is the
woman the State of North Carolina gave
me. and then placing his hand on the
head of the woman jointly indicted with
him, say this is the woman God gave
and she Is my spiritual wife. 1t was
further stated it was their custom TO
greet each other with a holy kiss r.
gardleSs of sex or age. A portion of the
showed the most immoral practices are
being constantly carried on by these peo-
pie under the cloak of religion, and yet
the jury brought in the verdict of not
guilty, and these people are to return
nome encouraged to continue in their i'm
morality, under the impression the law
VIII protect them. and they need have
no fear for tho future. We fail to recall
a greater miscarriage of justice in Beau
tort county. Again, we are reminded of
the old saw, there is no way TO account
Tor the verdict of an average jury.

ance Oh the stand was thus far the
most interesting event of the trial.
Wardc studied the face of the young
woman with not Il little curiosity, for
the secluded life which her taciturn
father had forced his family to lead
made Her the ob,jec of much spccu-
lative curiosity throughout TIE COM
munity. She was slender and graceful
OF figure, with Il rather pale face, re-
fined features and dark gray eyes.
Although dressed in mourning, the
expression OF her face was naughty
and self possessed, rather than sor-
rowfu. 1t would have been somewhat
difficult to imagine her as having shed
many tears over the crime that had
been committed. Warde fancied that
her features contained the proofs of
/, domestic tragedy; for the face that
ought by right of youth and beauty
to have been soft, was somewhat cold
and cmotionless; and one gifted with
psychologist powers might have been
able to construct a family history
with its secrets, it's injustccs, it's
cruclties in the set lines OF that young
girls fair and beautiful face.
1t was soon evident that whatever
sympa,hes she had were enlisted in
