A VITAL QUESTION

Dunn. N. c.. March 20.-The citi-
zens of the town are soon to vote on
the question whether a dispensary
shall be established at this place.
This many sided question has been
fully discussed recently, and has Gre
ated no little agitation. Upon pc
tition of a majority of the qualified
voters of the town, the representa-
tives for this county, in the recent
General Assembly, introduced a bill
authorizing the Board of Town Com
missioners to submit the dispensary
question to the voters. This bill was
passed; and last night a day for the
vote was designated as April goth
next. The fierce fight between the OPP
posing sides is now on and will grow
more and more vigorous and deter
mined until this vexed question is
settled
To establish dispensary here now
is practically equivalent to changing
a town from prohibition to liquor
with but little limitation. At this
stage no one can foresee what the
result of the election will be.
Hitherto the town has been under
prohibition which has been quite sue
cessful, with the exception of few
blind tigers. Certainly prohibition
has been as effective here as any
where Prohibition is not absolutely
perfect; neither is human nature
Under prohibition the town has made
remarkable progress; great develop
ment has been made along all lines of
business.
The town is steadily growing and
making rapid progress and develop
ment along all lines of substantial
business. Several large brick stores
are to be built here this spring and
summer. Preparations are already
being made on Broad street for some
of these stores.
The Southern Lumber Company,
which was recently incorporated is
now in full operation with full force
of. hands. Several new enterprises
and industries are coming here and
those now in operation are doing
splendid work.
County Under Special Act.
The county is under a very strin-
gent special act, not merely restricting
but prohibiting the manufacture and
sale of liquor in any manner or form.
The liquor traffic in this county is
now a matter of history The county
is now developing wonderfully; set
tiers are coming in from all quarters.
Mr.. w. A. Erwin, recently made the
statement that one of the chief rea-

gether sufficient number of men TO
tear up the tracks and leave the en-
tire matter where it was prior TO yes
terday. But nothing rash will be
done. 1t will be hard legal fight and
many years may pass before the final
settlement.
The Rival Claims.
The railroad people contend that
they have a right to lay tracks in both
streets, as the courts have already de-
cided that the streets are on railroad
property and belong to the road. 1t is
undoubtedly a fact that both streets
are on the original right of way of
the North Carolina road, and what,
ever right the city may have comes by
reason of the fact that the property
has been used as a street for years.
On the other hand the city claims
that the courts have rendered no de-
cision as regards Pettigrew street, that
the decision was in regard to Pea
body street This other street, says
the city, is an entirely new matter
Again the city claims that even if
both streets belong to the road it is
a violation of the street law TO lay
tracks at a grade level across the
mouth of the Carr street tunnel.
Property along Pettigrew street
where there are a number of nice res
licences. has been greatly damaged
The track is within four feet of the
sidewalk at places, this preventing the
citizens from having a vehicle of any
kind to come to their gates for them
1t will put lines of freight cars almost
at their very doors.

Capt. Clado answered that Admiral Ro-

DESCRIBES IT AS A FIGHT"

Cambridge, Mass, Feb. Harvard
graduates and undergraduates are much
aroused over the slashing attack on foot
BAH made BY President Charles w. Eliot
in his annual report.
President Eliot denounces the game
as hateful declares it is really a
"fght,s and asserts that its fundamental
principles are those of war.
The game, he asserts, is played under
established and recognized rules, but the
uniform enforcement Of those rules is
impossible, and violations Of them are
in many respects highly profitable to-
ward victory,
Thus, coaching from the side line,
offside play, holding and disabling oppo-
nents By kneeling and kicking and by
heavy blows on the head, and particular
~ about eyes, nose, and jaw, are un-
questionably profitable toward victory;
and no means have been found Of pre-
venting these violations OF rules by both
players and coaches. Some players are
never guilty OF them, and some are only
guilty Of them when they lose their
tempers, but Others are habitually gull.
ty Of them.
Legitimate Prey.
After characterizing these conditions
as hateful" President Eliot goes on
to say that new tricks are always de-
sirable al surprises, and that the weaker
man is the legitimate prey Of the strong
er.
"one should always try" he says,
sarcastically, ito discover the weakest
man ii, the opponents line, as, for ex-
ample, the man most recentlye injured,
and attack him again and again. III
a man, by repeated blows on the head
and particularly on the jaw, has been
yisibly dazed, he is the man to attack
on the next onslaught.
III in the last encounter player
has been obviously famed in leg or arm
or shoulder, the brunt OF the early
attack should fall on him. As coroi.
larry to this principle, it is justifable
for player who is in good order to
pretend that he is seriously hurt IN
order that he may draw the opponents
attack to the wrong place. These rules
Of action are al justifable, and even
necessary IN the consummate sayagery
called war, in which the Immediate OBJ
iect is to kill and disable as many OF
the enemy as possible.
To surprise, ambuscade, and deceive
the enemy, and invariably to overwhelm
a smaller force by greater one are
the expected methods Of war. No sport
is wholesome in which ungenerous or
mean acts which easily escape detection
contribute to victory, whether such acts
be occasional, accidental, or habituaI.n
The Main Objection.
The main objection to football, Presi
dent Eliot believes, lies thus against its
moral quality. The state OF mutual
distrnst and hostility between two 9th
erwise friendly colleges Is another evil.
This distrust Is publicly manifested
in humiliating ways, a. when 4 member
Of the opposing team Of an official Of
the game puts his ear close to the
