Of dinner giving were a white wishing
commission" which gave a number o.
men snow white regulations and excul-
pated them from various charges. and
voting contests in which different
guests We're entered for competitions
they would have avoided and were
awarded prices they did not need.
A minstrel show, in which club menu
bers in solemn judicial gowns perform
ed. was one of the features that pro-
voked much merriment. The merger
suit decision III the p~eculiarities OF
leading public men were hit off with
happy effect. The act closed with n
political song by the supreme court

DISPENSARY MANAGERS.

]. Al. Norwood. one Of the statesmen
in the Raleigh diSpenSary has rendered
his resignation and gives as a reason
that being a member Of the church he
cannot conscientiously fill the position.
He feels hat his influence for good is
being destroyed On account of his con
nection with the sale Of whiskey.-Ex-
change.
In all seriousness and with no desire
think MI. Norwood should have consid-
cred this phase Of the question before
he accepted the position Of whiskey
seller for the city and should not have
waited for three months to come to the
conclusion that he was in the wrong
pew.
This question as to who are to run
the dispensaries is a serious and pecu-
liar one. The law requires that where
a city OF town adopts dispensay as the
mode of dispensing the-'deyirs- soup"
Or the 70 be joyful" as you may desig-
nate the article to be, the dispensary
shall be under the management Of the
friends and advocates of this style of
lmbibing. as opposed to h old-fash-
loISO SdIOOH IIIOUc VI dispensing the
frewater. Now, as a rule the men who
vote "dispensary" are opposed to open
barrooms and favor prohibition"
they accept the ~"dispensary" as a COM
promise between the two and feel that
they have won a victory on the Skin
mish lines for prohibition. Advocates
Of open bars and saloons are seldom
found in the ranks of the "~dispensary''
followers. When a town goes for dis
pensary' o are mighty apt to find
that the election vas carried by the
weight OF church members and local
abstinence men. At the same time
y61 are apt to find in the ranks of the
victors several men who: in considera-
ton of the salary involved. are willing,
Tor the sake OF keeping the barrooms
closed, 20 take upon themselves the
che duty of dispensing the deadly fluid,
but under a set of rules and regulations
s~tricter than those prescribed by the
state for governing the sale in estab-
lishments owned by private individuals.
The all important question then is who
should have charge OF these dispensa-
rieS?

PLUNGED NINE STORIES.
Fearful Fall OF DIR. Henry Lee, &
Leading Surgeon OF Chicago.

Chicago, April 24.-Dr Henry Lee, a
known clubman, plunged nine stories
to almost instant death today in the
clubhouse of the Chicago Athletic As
ISOLATION, where he made his home.
The open shaft surrounding the wind
ing stairway was the space through
which he shot. and a ONE after he
had been chatting with a friend on the
ninth floor Of the big clubhouse, his
lifeless body was lying en- the marble
floor of the street level. more than 125
feet below. The call was accidental
there being no suggestion of suicide.
DR.. Lee, who won wide fame as a
surgeon, was a member of a large num-
Der of societies.

PAY YOUR POLL TAX.

Over one thusand and two hundred
voters in Orange county have SO far
failed to pay their poll tax, and only
ten more days remain in which they can
pay UP and thus qualify themselves to
vote in h election next November.
Go and pay your poll tax at once. To
delay is dangerous now.-Orange Coun-
ty Observer.

quency in the country papers in this
tate. The people do not seem to real
ize the Importance of every democratic
voter qualifying himself for the Novem-
Der election. Judging from these coun-
ties which have reported through their
home paper. we do not suppose there
is a county in the state which is not
from one hundred to fifteen hundred
behind in the payment OF poll tax by
the white voters. While this will not
mean defeat to h democrats at the
next election, it will so reduce u par
tvs majority from what it should be
that it will amount to a source of great
encouragement to the other side n
will have material effect upon that
element existing in every state which
wants always to be ON the winning
side. The attitude OF this element is
going to be a source Of danger to the
party unless the true democrats will
see to it that they are qualified as vot-
ers and by the payment of their poll
tax place themselves in position to roll
up a tremendous majority for our party
such a majority as will secure the
support OF this floating, wavering vote.
