Mayor and Aldermen Enjoined.

Greenville, n. c.. April 1t.-Restraining
orders have been served On the mayor and
aldermen here requiring the defendants
to appear before Judge NJ II. Justice, at
Wilmington, on Wednesday, the Goth /day
of April 1904, and show cause why they
should not be enioined from establishing
or attempting to establish dispensary
in this place.
Among questions raised in the complaint
was this: That the town has NOT a legal
board of aldermen. Another was that the
dispensary election was held under the
wrong law. Yet another was whether
the aldermen. in case the matter is not
settled by the first of July, can issue any
licenses then for liquor to be retailed in
the town.
