Soft Drinks Sale on Sunday.

Especial to News and Observer)
Wlnston-Salem, n. c., Sept. 11.-Instead
CT cutting out the sale of cigars OIL
Sunday the Winston aldermen-at least
six of them-have deemed it the proper
thing to add soft drinks to the bill of fare
for Sundays. The vote was six to two.
This action was taken at a special SEES
sion of the aldermen, held last night
THE meeting was called for the TMr-
pose of passing the new and revised or
Ginances as adopted some time ago by a
committee appointed for that purpose.
Alderman Norfieet strenuously opposed
the adoption of the law permitting the
sale of soft drinks on Sundays and his
vote was so recorded. Mr. Norneet held
that it was not treating the committee OF
citizens that waited upon the board some
time ago and asked that the sale of
cigars on Sunday be eliminated fairly. 1t
was also understood at that meeting that
action would not be taken in the matter
without a full meeting of the board and
that said committee of citizens should be
notified, etc.

Strong Belief That Scotland Neck Will Go for

Scotland Neck, N. c., Sept. 1.-THE
temperance people of Scotland Neck were
much disappointed when Rev. George r.
Stuart cancelled his engagement to speak
here this week. However, DR.. G.. S. Black
well, of Norfolk, filled Stuart's engage
ment and the general opinion is that no
man could have done the cause of tenn
perance more good than did DR.. Blackwell.
large crowd gathered in an open grove
to hear the distinguished speaker. He
spoke for two hours, and completely met
every argument of the liquor people. He
dwelt especially upon the personal Hber-
ty" plea of the liquor people and showed
conclusively that it is a false argument
to say that mans personal liberty gives
him the right to abuse wife and children
and make himself a nuisance to a town
or community through his habits of in
temperance.
DR.. Blackwell said that according to ac-
curate statistics one boy in every five is
given to the liquor saloon to be made a
drunkard. He called upon the voters here
to study the situation carefully and well
ane decide which boy they will give up to
| the liquor saloon, and asked them to write
| tina boys name, across the back of the
| ballot when they vote on the question in
Scotland Neck next Tuesday.

confidently believed that it will win Oh

TRADE CONDITIONS

SOME MILLS To RESUME

Stimulate Business in The Souih---Heavy
Sales of Print Cloths
Reported.
CBy the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press)
New York, Sept 11.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say:
Trade conditions are still uneven, but
the general drift is toward improvement.
A more assured feeling as to the corn crop
out turn is manifest, conditions in most
States having improved since September
/. State Fairs and low rate excursions
have stimulated western distribution,
and sugar at the South have made for
cheerfuness III that section. Eastern trade
advices are of less notable activity, but
signs of Improvement in the cotton mill
situation are seen. Some heavy sales of
print cloths are reported, and a number
of mills have announced an approaching
early resumption of operations. The lum-
Der market shows contrasts in different
sections. In the West lumber andbuiIding
material of all kinds are active and firm
but at the East the resumption of build
ing operations at strike-infested cities
has not been sufficient to keep those mar
kets strong. The iron trade is rather pes
slmistlc, buyers persistlng in holding off
but the declines in Northern and Western
iron reported this week are largely sym
pathetic, the result of the reported add
tional cuts in the Southern product.
