SOME TEMPERANCE NOTES.

A sweeping anti-liquor statute was
passed by the Supreme Lodge, Knights
of Pythias, to bar from entry all whole
sale liquor dealers and hotel-keepers
who run bars in connection with their
hotels. With the exception of these
classes, all other liquor dealers were
excluded by the old statute. The new
statute includes professional gambling,
saloon-keepers, bar-tenders or dealers
IN spirituous, vinous or malt liquors."
Evidently Lancaster can no longer
claim the distinction of having the only
dusky 'tQueen Bee" on record, for read
this: Henrietta Smith and Oney Law
son, two negro women, were convicted
In the Danville mayors court of selling
whiskey without license and were fined
$75 and costs and given sixty days in
Jail. The Lawson woman is the wife
of Cary Lawson, proprietor of Hotel
Lawson, negro, who is now in jail
serving term for the same offense.
George Turner and Joe Baker
(colored) were arrested in Cape Charles
on charge of selling whiskey without
license and fined 500 and cost. Turner
was dressed in his wedding costume
when arrested, but this charge seemed
to make no difference with him, as he
Immediately paid all charges, and then
fulfilled his engagement by going to his
own wedding. The arrests were caused
by colored detective spotting them
and caused quite an exciting time among
the negroes, all Of whom seemed to be
anxious to get hold of the detective,
but he was taken good care of by the
town authorities and sent across the
bay.
During a recent visit of a United
States revenue official to Pittsylvania
Sheriff Shellhorse was shown list of
seventy-eight names of parties now
holding United States retail liquor
license there. This fact was made
known to Judge Harvey then holding
court, andthe court had special grand
jury summonedto investigate the whole
matter in the near future. Most of the
licenses are held by merchants in vari-
GUS parts of the county. The State
revenue laws have been most fiagrantly
violated in the county. Blind tigers are
numerous in every section, and in many
cases these hold United States license
to prevent being molested by the Fed
eral authorities. The action of Judge
Harvey has caused considerable fiutter,
and the result of the investigation is
being watched with much interest.

THAT we heartily commend that por-
tion of the press that eliminates liquor
advertisements from their columns. and
rejoice to know that our county paper
is in that list.
THAT we earnestly insist that every
Anti-Saloon or temperance man be con-
sistent, and support only such candidates
for public offices as we are assured are
in accord with true temperance princi-
pies and Legislation.
THAT we sincerely believe that the
observance of Field Day" is means
of great helpfulness in the promotion of
the temperance cause, and recommend
that we utilize same as far as we can
in our own territory.
That we urge every true man to
faithfully endeayor to see that the laws
ON our statute books be promptly and
fully enforced"

INDIAN SUMMER.

November comes like dame distressed,
With pale brow all afrown,
Herlps drawn thin and close compressed,
Her long hair tumbling down;
And now she's hstless, calm and still,
And forces back her tears,
And now she means and raves until
The conquering winter nears-
'Tis then she yields with tender grace,
Bewitches autumn days,
And glides away with sunny face
Soft veiled in purple haze.

November Everybody's.

whether this business-like manner of

that there will be any change in this
