The Drug stores Will Not Sell LiguG-.

The publication III the asst issue of
The Landmark that il was proposed
to bring up at the neN meeting of the
board of aldermen the question of re-
ducing the liquor license tax on drug
gista SO that drug stores could sell
liquor on prescription. stirred the OPP
position. to this proposition and it
seems to be settled already that the
druggists will not sell liquor, for the
druggists themselves are opposed to it.
Already a petition, signed by all the
drug firms here and most Of the physi-
clans, has. been prepared for ~presenta-
ton to the DOaiI sSiir5 tat Ike llllGr
license ta@ on G"l55'>'S be not re-
duced. The physicians and druggists
dealiZe thai permitting drug stores to
sell liquor would entail endless worry
and annoyance on tnen, and lnasmuch
as the town has gone along very nicely
For three years without the drug stores
selling liQuoT~ they do not think this
change is necessary. This idea, it is
believed, is shared by the great ma
jarity Of the people Of the town.

A STRANGE ACCIDENT
1t Was Very Peculiar-His Friends Do
Not Believe That He Was Drowned.
But That He Was Killed i'm Failing.

The undmely death of young Sam
uel A Brissie. one of Charlotte's most
popular young men, has cast a gloom
over the community. Many of his
friends are still at a loss to know WHY
and low he fell in one Of THE Pools
near Chimney Rock.
Those who saw the body Of the young
man believe that he was killed by the
fall rather than by drowning. From the
edge Of the pool, which is more like
a large we'll in solid rock than anv
thing else, TO the water, it Is a dis
lance Of 20 feet. Brissie and his friends
approached the pool from the upper
side, which is contrary 10 the custom
of visitors, and, in moving closer, his
feet few from under him and he slip
ped in, feet foremost and on his back.
AS the body descended the head struck
the jutting cliffs,
When the body vas recovered the
lungs were found 10 contain but lit
tie water; this indicated that he aid
not drown. Those who watched at tna
pool claim that the body never came
to the top after it went down. The
negro guide who led the young men
into the pool from the wrong side. must
have felt sure there would be no danger
for the reason that he felt secure hin
self. Looking into The Pools gives
inexperienced visitor a dizzy sensa-
tion.-CharlOtte Observer.

A SCARED HORSE
Cuts Some Curious Capers and Causes
Peculiar Accident

The horse OF Will Scales, colored.
cut quite a caper dow near the union
station yesterday afternoon at 2:3o
o'clock. The animal was feeding in
the vacant lot to the west OF the sta
ton, when he became frightened and
broke loose carrying with him a large
section Of a cross tie to which he was
fastened. Sandy Williams horse was
in his way. SO the a~frighted animal
ran against him. knocking him down
and then jumping over him Sandy's
horse took out for the woods-he left.
In the meantime Scales horse pursued
the rough tenor of his way until he
reached the union station. Here he
banged I'd against the concrete side
walk: he fell twice. but a quickly
arose. A little negro girl was hanging
on the iron bar that enclosed the sta
tfon lawn. and when she saw the mad
horse rushing towards her she pre-
scented him with her back. She quickly
wheeled around and hung ove the
rod on her stomach. tn horse came
on and fell ~sprawling at her feet
Scared. the girl loosed her hold on the
rail and dropped on the horse, The
animal scrambled To his feet and the
girl rallied off from the rear.
It all happened in less than three
minutes.-WinstOn Journal.

just established at Chapel Hill for
treating sand for gold. The plan-
