WILL STRIKE n HARD BLOW NJ
THE CAUSE OF TEMPERANCE.

When the people of a community
vote for prohibition they have right
20 have what they have voted for, and
the State should protect them in this
right in so far as ii can do so by law.
The anti-jug law ought to apply tc
every county and town in the State
that has prohibition or =. dispensary-
the place of delivery should be the
place of sale. Unless the Legislature
gives this just protection, the powerful
temperance element in North Caro-
llna will be greatly disappointed.
There is Il strong demand for such a
law ard little or no demand to give
the right of a wet town to destroy the
good effects of prohibition. AS an evil
Gence of the feeling in the State, the
following letter from a prominent Cit
len of Goldsboro is printed below:
1T seems to me that an ant-jug
law is being put aside. While it is i'm
portant to stop such places as Will
liams, Shore and Advance, it is equal
ly important that places like Colds
poro that have voted for prohibition
shall be protected from towns like La
Grange that sell liquor nearby. Ii
liquor is permitted to be shipped into
Goldsboru from nearby outside places
by express and by carrier, | have very
little doubt that open bars will fellow.
The great mass of temperance people
of this town. as elsewhere, are sin
cere They despise shams. If they
have prohibition in name, and that
they want, they want it also in fact.
II this Legislature, after repeating the
law against shipping liquor into prohi-
bition territory does not put something
as good or better in its place, it will
strike very hard blow at the cause
Gf temperance. No one who has not
seen conditions such as We had here
before Pikevillc was closed and before
the Supreme Court decision, can hard
~ imagine what effect the free deliv-
cry of liquor in town like this has,
and how the liquor men use that
privilege to the disparagement of pro-
hibtion.
1T is unfair ana unreasonable to let
a town, large or small, a few miles
distant annul the wishes OF the people
in a prohibition town.

The Capitol Again.

me that the enlargement was not only
necessary, but that it was perfectly
feasible to make it. This dissenting
Eyntleman'S objections were founded
On the fear that the Capitol enlarged
would be the Capitol spotted arch~
tecturally speaking. He mentioned Va
rious historic cdifices that had been
spoiled of their symmetry and beauty
by enlargement, citing the we'll known
St Paul'S Cathedral in London as Il

FIGHT OVER GRADE CROSSINGS
That the Railroads and the Durham
ties Are i'll For il Seems Almost
Certainty.
fSnecial to News and Observer.D

Durham. y. c., Feb. Tt looks
now as If the railroads and people OF
Durham are to get into another war.
on account of proposed amendment
to the city charter which is to be
pressed before the present session Of
the Legislature.
It was mentioned in this correspond
ence last week that some steps were to
be taken that would make the rail-
roads raise their tracks at certain
street crossings This was not exactly
correct, being based on the best infor-
nation that could be obtained at that
time.
The real amendment proposed is
this: That the aldermen be given more
powers to compel the railroads to
raise or lower tracks at grade crossings
or to do other things, for the protec-
ton of life limb, person and property.
! The amendment does not ask anything
at this time but if passed into law
will give the aldermen of the city more
| powers to compel the roads to do what
! is wanted.
The amendment is being pushed by
Mr.. John Sprunt Hill. He was before
| the board of aldermen last night and
after a considerable fight. in which
| the aldermen were not all together, it
was decided to ask the Legislature for
the increased powers. Judge Winston
was there to explain the legal side Of
the question and he said sthat such
| laws were in existence in many towns
and many States.
Sometime ago the Southern road be-
+, gan the laying of a SIDE track up Petit
grew street and the work was stopped
| by an ordinance passed by the board of
aldermen. 1t was stated last night
| that Colonel Andrews had said that
| the city law was no good and that
when he gor ready to lay the track he
would do so. The proposed amendment
to the city charter is to cover just
| such DIS this. In addition TO this it is
| learned that two small tunnels now in
| existence are considered inadequate FOR
public travel and that these are to be
enlarged. At the present time the
crossings between South Durham and
Durham proper are all grade crossings
and it is exceedingly dangerous for
school children, and in fact for any
person to cross the tracks. 1t is
claimed that since the Southern, Sea-
board and Norfolk and Western
tracks are all to be turned on to Pea
body street, the strip of land that was
SO long in litigation between the city
and Southern road, there will be a
number of new tracks and that the
danger will be inCreased--so much so.
said Mr. Hill and Others last night,
that South Durham will be almost en-
tirely cut off from the city unless
something is done

Mr. Metcalf and Senior Don Gonzalo

| upon the small volume of American
manufactured goods sold in Cuba,
South American and in the Philip
pines. In the Philippines. for instance,
out of 100000 of exports, the Fill
pinos bought only one million dollars
| from the United States. Neither the
Minister of Commerce nor the Cuban
Minister told the High Point manu-
! facturers how to secure the immense
trade of the South American Repub-
| lies. When Senator Overman came IL
respond to the toast Cuban Reel
procity," he told how High Point and
| all other manufacturing towns could
secure larger markets by quoting the
| last speech of President Mckinley who
declared we could no longer practice
| the policy of exclusveness-that we
must buy from those to whom we eX-
| pect to sell our products. That dec
| Iaration was received with applause
rs was also the declaration that larger
markets could be obtained only
| through reciprocity treaties or tearing
DOWN the high tariff walls. And then
ne spoke a parable-pointed out the
only permanent and sure way of OBJ
tanning larger markets for the grow
ing volume of our manufactured pro-
ducts
When Congressman Dixon, of Mon
tana, came to speak he took issue with
the suggestion of Senator Oyerrnan
ana said that the South needed a pro-
tective tarift-that it had made New
England rich and Wouid likewise make
the manufacturing South rich. That
declaration didn't have much weight
here because the High Point Elanufac-
tlrers know that they have not been
helped a penny by any tariff laws
that their success has been due solely
to their industry and business sagacity.
This town needs no tariff stills and
preaching high tariff as the way to
make the South rich will find little
approval here These people look for
the most approved business methods
and to hard work and wise manage
men. They ask no pap" and no 'su-
gar rag" They can work out their
salvation without any tariff bounty or
