eye. Not content with paving the way
for State prohibition, the House and
Senate both passed bills the sole pur-
pose and intent Of which were to cut
off or restrict the sale OF liquor In the
State. A bill which excited consider
able talk at the time of its introdue-
ton and subsequent ratification was
that of Senator Reeee Blair, of Mont
gomery, relative 10 drumming for in
toxicating liquors. This bill is of in
terest aud follows:
''That it shall be unlawful for any
person, for himself or as agent or
travelling salesman for any person,
firm or corporation, to solicit orders
or proposals of purchase by the jug
OF bottle or otherwise III lots Of less
than FIVE gallons OF intoxicating IL
quors within the borders of any and
all counties, townships precincts,
towns and cities in the State Of North
Carolina wherein prohibition prevails
or the sale of Intoxicating liquors il
prohibited by law.
AS stated at the time of its intro
duction, this bill is almost identical
with the one in force in South Da-

giving very general satisfaction.

king OF PORTUGAL SLAIN

Carlos I and the Crown Prince Shot
to Death While Seated in the Royal
Carriage at Lisbon by a Band Of
Men Who Fired VolleJ From
Carbines.
Lisbon, By Cable-King Carlcs, Of
Portugal, and the Crown Prince, Luiz
Philippe, were assassinated Saturday
and the city is in a state of uproar.
The Kings second son, the Infanta
Manuel, was slightly wounded, but
Queen Amelie, who strove to save the
Crown Princes life by throwing her.
self upon him, was unhurt.
A band of men, waiting at the cor
ner, suddenly sprang toward the
open carriage, in which the family
were driving to the palace and level
ing carbines which they had conceal
ed upon them, fired. The King and
the Crown Prince, upon whom the at
tack was directed, were each shot
thee times and they lived only long
enough to be carried to the marine
arsenal, nearby, where they expired.
The royal family were returning
from Villa Vicose, where they had
been sojourning and were on their
way from the railroad station to the
palace.
The cold -blooded murder has sent a
thrill of horror throughout the coun.
try.
At the first blush it would seem as
though the assassination was the
work of anarchists. Nevertheless,
the stirring events of the past few
weeks has prepared tho people for
some startling elimination. The dis
covery of plot after plot, as we'll a.
the discovery of many secret stories
of weapons and ammunition, had de-
monstrated the existence of a deter
mination on the part of large body
of the Portuguese to overthrow the
present condition and proclaim re-
public.
Premier Franco, the dictator of the
Kingdom, hastened to the palace, pro-
tected by squadron Of eavalrymen,
and there he conferred with the
Queen and high officials Of State on
what immediate action should be 1ak-
en-. It is understood that Queen Anne
lie will be regent during the minor
ity Of Prince Manuel, who is now III
his 10Th year.
The only striking sequence to the
tragedy was the complete and bewil-
dering silence in which Lisbon is en-
wapped.
