To Close Dispensary.

WATERFORD, November 5.-The
county dispensary board of control
held a meeting at II o'clock yester-
day for the purpose of considering
the petition to close the county dis
pensary at Jacksonboro. The petit
ton was presented by the following
gentlemen: w. E.. Haskell, Jr., Jas.
M. Lawton, G. E. Bisell, Samuel G.
Fitzsimmons, NJ. W. Brown and Her
mon Bishoff.
&C. w. Butler, dispenser at Jackson
boro, was also present and entered bis
protest against the closing of the dis
pensary.
The county board, after hearing
the petitioners, decided to close the
dispensary January /, 1909, and to
remain closed as long as conditions
warranted.
Among other things the petition
says:
.:s..This institution is patronized most
sly by negro laborers from adjoining
plantations, who congregate around
it, drinking, committing nuisances,
fighting and threatening the lives OF
citizens, to their great terror, and
causing such citizens to be greatly ap-
prehensiye of their personal safety;
so much so that they are actually
afraid to take up their winter resi-
dences at their places of abode in and
around Jacksonboro.
ssThe presence of this institution
at this point causes these negro Ia
borers to leave their work, especially
on Saturday at midday, for the pur-
pose of purchasing liquors before the
same closes for the day and for use
on Sunday, to the great loss of their
employers, to whom their time is now
most valuable"

TALLY burned 200 bales of cotton.
The damage is about $4,000, which
is fully offset by insurance. A truck
hand is said to have run over match

which would have been a very serious

rival and timely work of the city fire

CHARGES AGAINST A JUDGE.


As was stated in the Gazette the voters
of Hampton, Phoebus and the little vii
Isges along the end of the peninsula have
started 40 agitation looking to the inves-
tigatioD of the character, integrity and
moral fitness of Judge j. W. G. Black
stone, of the Eleventh circuit. The reso-
lutious ask that au investigation, with
view to impeachment, be instituted.
The charges contained in the request
for the investigation gre serious enough
10 warrant the General Assembly to di.
rect that impeachment proceedings begin
at once. The charges IN the resolution
are neglect Of OF official duty, incompe-
tency and immortality. The charges do
not come as q surprise to people who
have been in touch with the sffairs of
the circuit or who have kept an eye on
the work of the Supreme Court of the
State when matters from the courts over
which Judge Blackstone has presided
have been reviewed. He has been re-
versed in great number Of cases.
During the Paylinic murder trial the
Judge is said to have gone to sleep on
the bench and to have slept sonndly,
aud that when the csse was 10 progress
and question of law arose one Of the
officers OF the court had to 60 to the
bench and arouse the sleeping Iurist.
At another time, during the trial oi
the Accomoc riot cases, when be deciin-
ed to allow q change of venue in the
cases Of the three negro men who were se-
cused OF being tbs iDstigators OF tina!
affair, he referred to Governor Swanson
by saying that il "WAs the act OF a
spectacular governor given to spontau-
e0us combustion"
He refused to allow the men to be
taken to smother county, and ridiculed
the "boy soldiers" whom the governor
sent over to preserve the peace and 10
restore order.

Of pamphlet calling upon Christian.
