LOCAL OPTION CAMPAIGN
Now on i'm Earnest i'm Goldsboro-Both
sides Expect Victory IL Election Is
Called.

Goldsboro. y. C., September 49,
This week will probably settle the fate
of the much talked Of election on the
liquor question. Ever since the an
n-ouncenent vas made by a member
Of the Board Of Aldermen in Il public
meeting that the tax rate would have
TO be increased because of the defici-
ency in the city treasury caused from
a lack of the funds received from
liquor license, the question of an cleo
ton on saloons has been agitated con-
ti%nuousiy. Both the a~nti-saIoon peo-
pie and those who favor the open bar
0 have vi hard at work and
party lines on the subject are pretty
well defined.
The saloon people are measuring
their strength by the number Of people
who have signed their petition for an
election. They have now over three
hundred names and it only requires
two hundred and fifty-five to call the
election.
The ~anti-salOon people are relying on
the large majority with which they
drove the saloons out of business two
years ago mex October to defeat the
movement i'll favor of barrooms. At
b a time the vote stood more than two
TO one against the barTooms.
II increased tax rate and Il rather
dull trade for the past few months have
caused d change of sentiment on the
question, but just how much of a
change has taken place cannot be fully
determined until the election comes off,
if it is ordered at all.
The plans of the saloon people now
are TO present their petition to the
board of aldermen the latter part of
this week or the first of next. AS al
ready indicated, they have more than
a sufficient number of names, which
they have secured for the reason that
they wish to go before the board with
enough left to call the election ever if
a few should be thrown out on techni-
c%alitieS.
People who are only nOminally inter-
csted rather shudder when they antic-
ipate the excitement that will be
aroused when the city gets in the
throes Of a campaign on the liquor
question.

Almost nightly now there is a burg

The police always hurry TO the scene
to investigate and hunt for a clue.
They seem to be very active and dill

Several times the occupants Of the

buckshot to the cartridge. If they will

We are glad to see that the press of
the state has been S prompt and so
outspoken in it's d~enunciation of the
brutal exhibit in Asheville called a

a more disgusting exhibition Of brut-
ish passions than a prize fight could
possibly be under the rules now gov
erning such performances. We do
not see how the spectators could help
either leaving the hall OF forcing the
management to put a stop to the per-

matches there is an exhibition of skill;
but in this Asheville affair there was
nothing but british force on the part

ment that every means to defeat each
other was fair except the breaking Of

HAZING AT THE 4. & VI.

In another column we print from
The News and Observer and the Nash
vile Graphic accounts Of outrageous
hazing of freshmen at the Agricultural
and Mechanical college, the leaving OF
two students Oh account of their treat
ment and the expulsion of two mem
bers Of the sophomore class because OF
their conduct in hazing the new stu
dents.
Hazing of 4 mild form, while not
receiving the open approval OF any
college, should not be considered such
a grave offense. There is no real harm
they look forward to the fun they will
have the next year, when they become
sophomores, in hazing the fresh
men. When the hazing is confined to
innocent amusement at the expense
of the freshmen there is no great harm
in it. if any at all. 1t is what all young
men or boys expect when they go to
boarding school or college.
But the kind of hazing the sOpho-
mores at the state Agricultural and
Mechanical college have been indulg-
ing in is of a very different kind. Moth
ing so humiliG ing or brutal should
be allowed. We are glad to see that
the college authorities have acted as
promptly as they did and we only
wish they had taken decisive action
sooner 1t seems that the offenses for
which the two men were expelled &C.
Cured Sunday night. Such conduct
as theirs or perhaps worse, had been
going for some time, so it is shown
by the article from the Nashville
Graphic. The two youths there spok-
to their parents several times in re-
gard to their i'll treatment and mad
finally secured consent to leave the
college because of this treatment and
they returned nome Tuesday of last
week. Still, SO far as the public knows,
nothing was done to punish the fellows
who by their brutal conduct had fore
ed these two young men to leave the
college and give up their chosen course
of study preparatory to their life
work.
Can it be possible that none OF the
faculty knew anything of the brutal
treatment these young men were be-
ing subjected to? If they did not and
conditions were such as these youths
describe then those whose duty it is
to keep order in the college were GER
tainly very negligent Of their duties.
If thy did know what was going on
and took no notice Of it until the con-
ditions were brought to public atten-
ton by the publication in The Graphic,
then their conduct is still more repre-
hensible.
President Winston and the corps Of
professors should remember that they
are at the head of a state institution
one supported by taxation of the peo-
ple-and that any n young in The
state has as much right to attend it
as any other. The people look to them
to see that the college is open to
all the youths of the state who wish
to attend it and that conditions be not
allowed to exist there which make it
impossible for ONE to stay at the in
stitution and retain their self-respect.
We hope President Winston will make
amends for his tardy action and show
the people that it is his sense Of JUS
tice and not the fear of public Con-
domination which prompts him to do
his duty.
