The North Carolina Anti-Ealoon
League l. beginning to marshal Its
forces. Rev. J. W. Bailey, editor
OF the Raleigh Biblical Recorder
and chairman OF the Anti-Saioon
League, states that In few days he
will call q meeting Of the executive
committee for the purpose Of de-
termining the policy Of the Lesgue
during 1906 and adopt plans and
discuss methods Cor the work. In
the past the great trouble with pro-
hibition, the Farmers Alliance and
other special features has bean that
their leaders drifted into politics
with the result that their efforts
were either crippled beyond recog-
tion or were killed outright In the
fight. Governor Glenn and other
prominent Democratic office-holders
and Office seekers have pronounced
views upon the liquor question, IA
voring its abolishment from the
State, and while no doubt sincere,
men do not always vote as they
pray, if there should happen to be q
combination of prohibition and de-
mocracy. while the church element,
enlisted under the guise Of prohibit
tion, Is an important factor when
the vote at the ballot box ia counted.
The last legislature spent much time
and more money Juggling with the
liquor question under this very
Democratic prohibition combination
and the result was such measures as
the Watts and Ward bills, the pro-
visions of which even their own
officers will not enforce. The Farm
ers' Alliance and its virtual extinc-
tion tells its own sad story. The
truth is, prohibition should stand
alone and upon its merits. Democ-
racy has had its inning and has sig
nally failed. IF the good people Of
the State within and without the
church, and their hundreds Of pull
pits and willing co-workers desire
prohibition they can get it by con-
sistent and united action. If they
hope to win through the Democratic
party, with the past as a criterion,
the result is beset with many dan
gers, a probable compromise and a
makeshift, if not dismal failure

RICHMoNDM MAYOR FOUND

Called Man Liar in Court-Fined $40
for Contempt.
Richmond, Va, Jan 26.-Carlton
Mccarthy, mayor Of Richmond, was
fined $40 in the police court this
morning upon charge Of contempt.
Hill Montague, attorney for the
mayer, noted an appeal to the Hust-
ngs court, but Attorney Harry
Smith, who represented J. d. Seek
Gilman, the newspaper man who
made the charge that Mayor Nc
Carthy gave him the lie direct in
in court yesterday morning, con-
tended that there could not be any
appeal from one court to another
upon a contempt charge.
The mayors counsel made strong
plea for acquittal. He said 1t would
cast a reflection upon the city of
Richmond for the newspapers Of the
country to print that the chief ex-
ecutive of Richmond has been fined
in court.
A QUESTION OF DIGNITY.
(Which is the worse ?" interrup.
ted Attorney Smith, "to lessen the
dignity of the mayor or lessen the
dignity Of the court ?"
The essence Of the defense of the
mayor, through his attorney, was
that it would be an unfortunate
thing for the city to have it pub
lished that the mayor of Virginia's
capital had been arrested and fined
for contempt of court.
The magistrate said there was
nothing for him to do but impose
penalty.
81 will have the rough element
up before me In a few minutes"
said the court. "If I let Mayor Nc.
Carthy 60 unpublished, then these
lower offenders will think me un-
fair. I've never let one 60 yet
upon this offense. It is my custom
to find contempt prisoner on the
spot and if he has not got the money
to pay the fine I send him to Jail.
There is no excuse for it. IF con-
suited my own personal feelings, I
would dismiss this case. However,
I-cannot uphold even the mayor in
his conduct. I can make no excep-
ton. I fine the mayor $50"

Absinthe for a schoolbox.

An amazing discovery has been
made in one of the communal schools
in Paris. A class master noticed that

of his pupils, little boy of seven.
seemed to become prey to fits of de-
lirium He thumped his neighbors,
and when reproved by the master
rolled On the floor shrieking and
groanisg like one possessed. The child
was constantly in the habit of asking
leave of absence for a minute or two,
and the master had him watched. It
was found that he carried small bot
tie of absinthe in his pocket, and took
sip es often as he could escape from
the classroom. 1t has been proved
that the child's mother filed the bot
tie for him every morning.

TEETH THAT WERE USELESS
Puzzle TO the Man Who Had Sud-

of Them.

Harry Leon Wilson. author of The
Speuicrs." was domicilcd for a summer
in Connecticut with a colony OF artists
and writer's. all OF whom had to 30 into
the city every day. relates the Saturday
Evening Post.
Wilson was doing nothing but loaf
ing. He loafed artiStically. and from
time 10 time met and had fun with
some of the natives of the place. One
day he found two men in the road who
seemed consenial. and he struck up an
acquaintance with them. He proposed
drive and they got q surrey and TWO
horses.
Can you drive" asked Wilson.
"Suve." one OF his sudden friends re-
piled. Il am 4 fine driver"
They got aboard and started down
the road. Before they had gone half a
mile the team was frightened by a
passing automobile and ran away. The
driver va!ianuy steered the horses
into a telegraph pole and Wilson and
his two friends were thrown hcIter-
skeltcr into the road
Wilson slowly gathered himself to-
gether. One OF his friends was sitting
in the ditch rubbing his bruises and
the other stood in the middle OF the
road gazing in fearful misery at two
front teeth which ne held in the palm
OF his hand.
Pretty lucky escape, wasn't r?'
asked Wilson, for want OF something
better tc say.
Yes replied the man with the
teeth, weeping afresh, but please. on,
please. tell rue, what shall do with
these?"
