THE MEEKER RESIDENCE ROBBED.
 The residence of Mrs Daniel Meeker was robbed, last Monday, $27 in money being taken besides several bank books and lot of jewelry. Oliver Meeker and sister, Louisa, started for Bridge port, Monday morning, leaving their mother alone on the farm. After they had been gone a while, "Jimmey," an Armenian, who had worked for them a month, but was dismissed, last week, appeared and told Mrs Meeker that if she would make no trouble or outcry she would not be hurt, and he proceed ed to ranSack the house from top to bottom, throwing things everywhere and leaving no drawer or corner un- touched. Mrs Meeker made what pro- test she could and went to the door and tried to see or call some one, but being lady 80 years old was unable to alarm any one, as their home is One.quarter of a mile from any neigh bor. After he had got his booty stored away in his pockets he again told Mrs Meeker to be quiet and left the house, and has not been seen since. Oliver Meeker and sister reached home about 6 o'clock, to find their mother greatly excited and she soon told them of the robbery. MT Meeker immediately communicated with Deputy Sheriff Bulkley, who came at once to the Meeker homestead and got deScrip- tion of the man and the articles he had stolen and telegraphed to all the near cities. "Jimmey" is man about 30 years old, about six feet tall and speaks very good English.

BEER AND PROHIBITION.
Durham Beginning to Steam Up in

Especial to News and observer.)

Durham, n. c., Jan. S.-The contro-
versy as To whether beer can be sold in
prohibition town when the dealer has
license that carried him several months
after the declaration of prohibition,
a question that was raised here few
days ago, is to get into the courts. There
were two wholesale dealers in Durham.
r. P. Summers, representing Po1tner. and
w. Mangum, Jr., representing the Hester
beer people. Since serving notice on
them that they will not b. allowed to
sell beer Mr.. Summers has accepted the
rebate rendered by the city but Mr.. Man
gum says that he will fight The matter
out in the courts and that in the mean
time he will continue to sell beer to the
trade in wholesale quantities In day
or so il is expected that there will he
developments. The aldermen are pushing
the matter against Mangum and say that
they will have him arrested under the
Watts law. 1t is supposed tnat il the
matter is fought with much vigor that he
will be arrested from day to day, or as
often as he is caught violating, as the
aldermen claim, the law. Mr.. Msngnm
claims that he has license from city,
State and county and that the authori-
ties have no right to stop him. The city
claims that he secured the State and
county license after the city had voted
fer prohibition. The matter promises to
be warm fight
