Vote Not Unanimous.
bennington Banner. ]

1t appears that the news reports sent
out from Manchester stating that the
State Sunday school convention "unani-
mously" adopted a resolution condemn
ing the local option law as a complete
failure to restrain the liquor traffic were
not correct. The resolution was adopted
1t is true, but the vote was not unani-
nous and 1t was only after a sharp de-
bate in which Rev. George S. Mills of
Bennington showed up the fallacy Of the
resolution as presented. Mr.. Mills argued
that 1t was wrong to call law a COM
plete failure which enabled communities
as fast as they became educated to the
point of desiring to drive out saloons to
do so effectualy as they may under the
local option law. He called attention to
the distinct improvement in some commu-
mites over the conditions that prevailed
under the old prohibtory law and de-
clared that the cause of temperance
would not be helped Shy such a radical
resolution which is not supported by the
facts in the case. When it came to a
vote however the resolution was
adopted though there was a considerable
minority of protesting mo" votes.

Dwight y. Carpenter, rs, a farmer, liv-
ing in Greenfield on the Bernardston
road, fell from an apple tree Tuesday
and received a fracture of the arm and
three broken ribs 1t is feared that one
of the ribs punctured a lung. Mr. Car
penter came to Greenfield a few years
ago after leasing his farm to the New
England Farm Stock company in Ley
den. Soon after he bought the place
known as the Fred Lamb farm between
Greenfield and Bernardston. Owing TO
his age and the serious nature of the
injury, his recovery seems doubtful.
