DISPENSARY CLERK RESIGNS.
MIR. I'm. Norwood Felt that He was
Out of Place.

Mr.. ]. M. Norwood, one Of the clerks
ut the dispensary, has resigned his posi-
ton. Yesterday morning he handed his
written resignation to Manager w. p.
HatCtelor who turned it over to Mr.. w.
N. Jones, chairman of the Board of Com
nissiOners. No reasons were assigned IN
Mr.. Norwood's written resignation, he
merely thanking the commissioners for
their kindness towa~S him, and their con
sideratiOn in electing him to the position
Mn. Norwood desired that his resignation
be effective at once and he was not on
duty Yesterday.
A News and Observer reporter called on
Mr.. Norwood last night and asked him
why hn fad rendered his resignation.
II simply felt that l was out of place,
replied he. You know | am a member of
the church, and / just felt that I would
lose all the power for good 1 might have
in any church if I remained in the bust
ness. Don't understand me as saying
that l am opposed to the disEenSary as
compared with saloons. ] think it a great
Improvement upon the saloons, and vastly
preferable OF course I would rather
have prohibition than the dispensary, and
hore the time will soon come when we
will vote on the question of prohibition
or dispensary."
Mr.. Norwood eaid that on Sunday at
the Tabernacle Baptist church, of which
he is a member, lie made up his mind dur
ing the services that he could not CON
tinue any longer in as position, and went
up at the close of the services and spoke
TO his pastor on the subject. That after,
noon he told Mr.. w. N. r~~"s his determi-
nation, explaining o him why he felt that
he must tender his resignation.
Mr.. Norwood stated also that he had
nothing but the kinaest feelings toward
everyone connected with the dlspensary.
All were perfect gentlemen and were his
friends. AS for the commissioners, he
thought that each one of them was there
because he considered it his Christian
duty to be there.
No action will he taken until the return

sable-skinned worthless who, it appeared
from evidence given before Magistrate r.
S. Barham, were both concerned in the
assault upon Jerry, whereby the said
Jerry was knocked well nigh into the
middle of next week.
But like the cat. Jerry came back and
his plunged up head was in such strong
evidence and the attending circumstances
were of so carmine hue that Esquire
Barham, after hearing the case, bound
Gibson and Ballard over TO court in the
sum Of 800 each. Whereat Gibson and
Billiards. stock of gladness went down at
once leo per cent below par.
From the evidence adduccd before
Esquire Barham, it appears that the
twain are equally guilty, one fattenng
Mclean against the ground and advising
the other to provide business for the
undertaken, which advice the wielder of
the board seemed to consider his high
privilege and duty to follow. Others,
however, were quickly on the scene, who
took a different view Of the matter.

RandoIph-Macon Gets
Them From A. & M.
In A. & Ms Prettiest Game this Year
the virginians are Defeated
by Eight 10 Naught.

There was a pretty game of baseball
dolph Macon team of Ashland, Va, and
the A. and M. team. The Virginians were
unable to get a man across home plate.
Only one attempt to rush in a man
from third was made, and this was cut off
by the clever work of Shannonhouse and
Brockwell, and the batter was then
thrown out at first by Brockwell, making
a pretty and fast double of the yell-pro-
duclRg order. f~r''or double was made
on a fly to Miller, who afterwards threw
a man. out at first before he could retrace
his lead
Shannonhousc pitched a great game, al
lowing only three singles off his delivery
and vas well supported by his team, only
two errors being made and these not cost
ly. Miller and Howle made long and
pretty running catches, robbing the bat
ters of singles, possibly doubles. Trevil-
Ian did the slab work for the visitors and
the batters did him, collecting eleven
singles and one two-bagger off his deliv-
cry. His support was Very good
The home team scored in the second in
ming: Hadley reached first on error of
third and stole second snd scored on
single by Gordon, who afterwards went
to third on a high throw home to cut off
Hadley; Gordon scored on an infeld hit
by Brockwell. Gully scored in the third
inning on his single coupled with q single
by Howle. The fifth netted two more
runs: Miller singled, stole second and
scored on error; Fowle safe on first on
error of second and stole second base,
scoring on single by Hadley.
In the eighth inning Knox scored on a
pretty two base hit by Shannonhouse to
deep left field. Howle and Hadley scored
the last runs in the ninth inning; Howlc
singled and Hadley hit to third base, who
cut off Asbury, who tried for home
Howle stole second and went to third
and Hadley stole second; Gordon scored
Howle on a single; Hadley scored on
single by Brockwell, thus ending the
score and the game for A and NJ The

For time he lay as stark and rigid
as though death had already closed

to become q funeral chamber, with
a mass OF lowering shadows for a
pail. The fire held up funeral tapers
OF pickering flame, and the whispers
of the starving men who warmed
