BLOOD FLOWED FREELY.
Darkeys' Heads Were Up Against
Unnoyable Objects Last Nipht.

Unmovable Objects Last Night.
Years ago some Solomon said that the
station house located at Seventeenth and
Main Streets should be known as the
Bloody First
Never did this station-house live up to
Its name better than last night for there
was gore on almost every plank In the
office OF the sergeant. 81
& Negroes who had gone on the rampage
last night. with few exceptions ran up
against the hard side of II brick. a black
jack, or something equally as unmovnble.
The result was that the ambulance WIS
called to the Bloody First and Dir.
thurman had to do double duty for a good
while.
A few miles OF silk thread was used In
tying together the craniums OF the ART
canos who had bumped into solid SUBJ
stances and several cubic feet OF bandagc
tape was utilized in holding the broken
black places In proper shape.
About . O'Clock q negro who said his
name WIS George Hadley fioated into the
station-hous Blood was trickling from
his head. and he piteously asked that an
officer accompany him to 4 nearby saloon
and catch the negro who 'hab done bus
nah haid."
A negro WAS caught and brought IT, t5s
station house. He was not identified and
was dismissed IIadIey went out 10 find
the right man.
4 few minutes Afterwards he returned
and Il negro was locked up for being inn
pIicited in the row, ess4
Several DRINKS came in In the mean
while, and Iadley was Eolding, down a
chair in tho corridor. "forninst the cells.
He was bleeding.
DIR. Turman. responding to "a cal. from
Sergeant !Kersc and Captain Wsitlock,
came to the station and WAS using UP
some silk in pulling Hadley's head to-
gether, when Ii, walked Frank Smith a
big negro, with twoshole in his top knot.
..Dar's de Niger what bus me In de
haid.' said Hadley, peeping through u
stream OF gore.

D|SPENsARY BILL
FOR SOUTH HILL
Tie Measure Did Not Pass Dur
ing the Closing Hours Of the
Legislature.
FORGOTTEN in CONFUSION {; I! / 'l.1 j
Patron, Speaker, Clerk and Re
porter All Thought That 1t
Had Passed.

ss One Of the unfortunate mistakes OF the
recent Legislature has just come to light.
and Will fall like thunder clap on the
good people OF South Hill, III AIccklcn-
burg county.
Representative Reed, Of Mecklenburg.
at the request of an overwhelming ma
iority of his constituency, introduced n
bill known as THE South Hill dispensary
bill. to authorize the operation of "a dis
pensary in the county of A1ecklenburg.
+ The bill pissed the Senate. and on tho
last day of the session was called UP
by Mir. Reed In the House. where eacl,
member had the privilege OF calling up
one bill.
There was objection raised when Mr..
Reed explained the object of his bill,
but on a call for hands the chair an
nounced that the objection was not sus-.
tanned.
I Tie bill was then passed to its third;
reading and cnsrossment. and was about
to be finally passed when Senator Thorn.
as. of l,ynchburg, entered the House and
announced tina he had a special comniu-s
nication to be read to the House from.
tile Senate.
Confusion That Followed.
1t turned out to be the charge that
bills had been tempered with and general
confusion followed When order was
finally restored and the Speaker called
for the business before the House. tho
"the South Hill disptnsary bil.' was lost
sight Of. and another bill was called.
leaving the South Hill dispcnsary blll''
gunpassed.
Representative Reed thought that tho.
measure had passed. as the vote on tho
third reading had beer. "A to 10: the.
clerk thought it had passed; the Speaker
Thought 1t had passed. and the reporter
for Tho Times Dispatch was informed
that it had passed, and SO reported 1t In
morning edition.
The fact now appears that. owing to.
the confusion OF the closing day the
number of bills on the calendar and tho.
fight going on among the members to
have certain bills passed. the souti,
8Hill dispensary bill" was overlooked.
