One OF the greatest debates that was
ever listened to by committee of the
Legislature was that heard last night by
the Senate Committee on Finance and
Banks.
The Mann bill, looking to the restric-
6tion OF the sale Of liquor. was up and for
three hours the members Of the commit
tee heard the most entertaining talk
they have fora long time had the pleas
urc OF listening to. 5
The Rev. James Cannon. Jr., opened
the argument for the Mann bill, but 1t
remained for Judge William Gordon Rob
crtson, OF Roanoke, and Judge Mann to
be the central figures in the discussion.
Mr.. Cannon talked eloauently about the
evils of Drunkenness, and he went to
some extent into the practical side OF
the matter under consideration He
showed a good deal Of knowledge OF law.
Y 1t had been arranged that Nlr. Cannon
should simply open tho debate and lay
down the foundation upon which Judge
Mann was to finish. 800

The hearing was had in the Senate
chamber. The room was packed and jam

most prominent saloon keepers were in
the audience. Preachers were much in

Debate was limited to three hours each
side having one and half hours. Mr.
Cannon opened the discussion. Hc is a
pleasing public SPEAKER and knows how
to drive into the brain of a man an idea

evils Of drunkenness and of the laws
that should be passed to restrain people
from going to the bad. He quoted from
several legal authorities to show that
the evil effects OF drunkenness did moro
harm to society than any other one
thing.
There had been something said by
cross-questioning In regard to "bllnd

fess that he would prefer tiger that

\. There VIII hardly be any action taken
at the extra session on the appointment
of w. D. Crum to the collectorship OF
the port of Charleston. The Committee on
Commerce decided to-day to take no ac-
ton inv the matter, and it is believed
none will be taken until. the next session.
1t is now up to the President to re-
appoint Cfum as soon as the present
extra session Of the Senate ends, or to ap-
point a white man.
IT has been asserted by persons close
to the President that he would not re-
appoint Crum If the Senate took no ac-
tion on tho appointment at the extra
session. But 1t is believed now that Mr.
Roosevelt will simply pursue his former
course, give Crum his appointment in
recess, and rely upon the Senate to con-
firm the nomination IN regular session.
no take any other course would be to
back down from the position assumed
by the President in his letter to Mr..
Clark Howell two weeks ago, In which
he said he had no intention Of recedlng
from the position he had taken towards
the negro OF the South. OF course, had
the senate refused to confirm the nomina-
ton the President In that case could
have yielded gracefully. AS IT Is, ne must
