The fight against the sale of
whiskey in Durham continues as
violaters are brought into court,
and new phases of the question
are presented either in the prose-
cution or in the method of sell
ling the fire water almost every
case that comes up.
In the police court last Satur-
day, 7. II. Scoggins, who was
proprietor of a saloon here be-
fore the town was voted dry,
was up on a charge fer violating
the Watts law in taking orders.
When the case was called it was
dismissed, but the attorney for
the anti-saloon league announced
that it was only done so that the
case might be fixed up in better
shape.

Sent Over Without Bail.

Raleigh Miller was before the
mayor Monday morning on the
charge of burglary. After hear
ing the evidence he was bound
over to the Superior court with
out bond.
The facts in this case are: Sat-
urday night about ten o'clock
Miller was caught in the hoIse of
William Moore, who lives in
Hayti, and the evidence tended
to show that he had stolen about
81 in money. Moore's wife was
in the bed when she heard some
one in the house, and at about
the same time heard her hus-
band coming in. Miller escaped
through a window. Owing to
the fact that the door was open
when Miller entered he cannot be
tried for his life, but the mayor
thought best to hold him for the
grand jury.
The mayor had nineteen other
cases to claim his attention Mon
day, eleven of which were for
drunks.

Robbery Saturday klqhi.

w. J. w. Terry, who lives
near Bahama, came here last
Saturday with fruits and other
produce to sell. About 9o'clock
Saturday night he had sold all
his load except about one bushel
Of apples. A negro man ap-
preached and agreed to buy
these if Mr.. Terry would deliver
them to his home. Finally Mr..
Terry agreed to do this and
started with the negro on the
wagon.
During the trip, and from
what can be learned the negro
carried Mr.. Terry through what
is known as Sugar Hill. Mr..
Terry was assaulted, the blow
causing him to lose conscious
ness. When he came to him.
self the negro had him covered
with a revolver and was going
through his pockets. after re.
lieving him of his possessions the
negro jumped off the wagon and
made his escape. Mr.. Terry
came up town as soon as possible
and reported the matter to the
police, and they began working
on the case. At last accounts
they were unable to get a clue
that would justify an arrest.

The granite from which the
monument was made was from
Mount Airy.
1t was a gala day for the town.
The streets were a scene of love-
liness, with beauty everywhere,
the stars and bars floating from
nearly every building.
The choir, composed of beauti-
full women, sang with thrilling
sweetness the stirring hymn,
The Bonnie Blue Flag" The
song brought tears to the eyes of
young and old, but the martial
tune of Dixie was again struck
up by the band and the people
were brought to their feet.
The orator of the day, Chief
Justice Clark, was introduced by
Major London. Mrs. H. A. Lon
don presented the monument to
the veterans.
THE MONUMENT UNVEILED.
At exactly 1890 o'clock the
monument was unveiled amid a
furore of patriotic exuberance,

offerings upon the base of the
monument after the unveiling.
The soul-stirring procession
proceeded up Hillsboro street to
