DRUGGISTS BOUND OVER.
This Grows Out of DIR. Keller's Writ
ing Prescriptions for Whiskey.

Especial to News and Observer.)
- Charlotte. N c., April 14.-Fiye of
the best known retail druggists of the
city were today bound over to the next
term of the county court for an alleged
violation of the prohibition laws of the
city. This trouble had it's origin in
account of the presence here of a
quack doctor, who has been writing
whiskey prescriptions promiscuously
before the druggists had an opportun-
ity to ascertain whether or not he was
a licensed physician. Dr. Keller, the
tramp optician, had flooded the city
drug stores with whiskey prescrip-
tions. Keller was bonded in the sum
of five hundred dollars as a witness at
the next term of court. He failed to
give the required bond and was sent
to the county Jail for safe keeping.
The names of the druggists bound
over are: r. III. Jordan & Co, w. L.
Hand & Co., Burwell & Dunn Co, j.
NJ. Atkinson & Co., and the Charlotte

THE soUTHBoUND.
Whole State is Awakening to its Ii
poPtance.

The whole State is awakening
the importance Of the proposed Sout
bound train from Winston to Sout
port, which would open up the Sta
of North Carolina to millions
wealth heretofore unkonwn to the
state. and would give such impetus
to State enterprise that no other
movement or achievement could pos
sibly give.
State Auditor p. f. Dixon, in
speaking of the matter yesterday
said, that he was surprised that there
was not greater activity shown by
North Carolina industries to secure
the Southbound, but believed that
there is already a tendency towards
q great awakening, and that efforts
would be launched in every direction
to have the road run to Southport
making that town a great city
and being of inestimable worth to
this State at large.
DR.. Dixon said, in speaking of the
matter:
"One OF the most important en-
terprizes in North Carolina is now
in hand under the supervision of Col.
Fries, of Winston-Salem. Thus the
Southbound to Southport to Charles
town, whose object is to give direct
and immediate railroad transportation
lIOiI tie coal nelUS OI leIl-
nessee and West Virginia to deep
water and establish coal stations.
Southport is decidedly the best loca-,
ton for coaling station on the At
lantic Coast. South or North. This
has been known since the days of
Governor Tryon, and our people
should do everything in their power
to secure this road to Southport, for
with Charleston on the South and
Norfolk on the North, we will be left
out in the cold.
The public spirited people should
be interested in it.
The building Of this road would
mean millions Of dollars to North
Carolina, and it would make Of South
port a great city"

TEARING AWAY THE TRACK.
Southern Carrying Out the Agreement
Talk of. Citizens Ticket.
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer)
Durham, n. c.. April 14.-Today
the Southern road began to tear away
the track that was laid on Pettigrew
street on the early morning of March
goth about which there has been SO
much trouble.
One of the things that the Southern
agreed to do when the town gave up
the fight was to remove this track
from the macadam OF Pettigrew street
and lay it nearer to the main line CT
the Southern road. The road prom
ised not to use the macadam portion
of Pettigrew street until in the opinion
OF the Southern it was necessary. The
city has already carried out its part
of the contract by withdrawing suits
and repeating the ordinance that pro-
hibited the Norfolk and Western road
from crossing Chapel Hill street 20
join the Southern and get to the depot.
Last Monday night the prohibition
lists held mass m m~eting at which a
mayor and eight aldermen were nomi-
mated The talk now is that another
mass meeting-a citizens mass meet
ing-wiil be called and that a ticket
will be nominated without any ref
erence being made to the prohibition
question only q declaration to carry
out and enforce such laws as the peo-
pie may make. AS long as the people
vote prohibition then the proposed
new candidates pledge to carry out
these laws. There will be several
planks n the platform, the main idea,
as told to me, being to get on a
broader platform than merely that Of
WhiSkey.

ment of its quality, is the result of
Interior motives in some way connect

MY interest in the movement for
an effective control of the milk sup
ply of the city, is due to the fact that
l know that no city can have a whole
some milk supply without some official
supervision, and because / was asked
