A NORTH CAROLINA DISPENSARY
Public Gin Mill in Tar Heel State Just Like at
the Others

GRAHAM, N. c., January 3O-(Special CORE
spondence) .-This little town of some three thou
sand people furnishes an excellent illustration of
the working of the dispensary system. In spite
of the warning that ought to have been given by
the dispensary's history in South Carolina, the
institution was voted in here and began business
May Is, 1906. During the first quarter it
showed profit of $4,000 and has now been in
operation six quarters and in the sixth quarter
it showed profit of $4,000 without increase of
population. The total sales of the first year
amounted to $4,000. The sales of the day be-
fore Christmas 1907, reached $931
Charges are rife of fraud and stealing in con-
necton with the dispensary There are two illicit
distilleries known to exist close to this place
and one citizen is commonly known to be
gagged in handling liquor unlawfuly by the bar
rel and in large quantities 1t is openly asserted
that the dispensary officials buy lcitly distilled
liquor at low rates and pocket the profits which
come from the SALE
The people are thoroughly disguised and should
there be any failure to enact the Prohibition law,
will vote the dspensary here out of existence

1t is said that one of Augustus cit
lZeuS has within a few days come in
t. possession Of his marriage certifi-
cate although he has been married for
the past % years The certificate had
not been lost by him as he had never
had it to lose, and his failure to get
possession of it before was due more
to his failure to embrace the oppor-
tunity than anything else The man
was living at Gardiner at the time of
his marriage and while he was away
ON his wedding trip the minister left
the certificate with the people with
whom the man had been living. When
the man returned from the trip the GER
tilicate Was not thought of, and later
on the family who had the paper safe
ly stored away moved to Augusta. AS
time went on the certificate passed
from the minds of all concerned and
rested quietly between the pages of
big hook that was stored with MANY
other hooks in the attic. a few dayS
ago the two mon concerned were talk
ing over old times and something re-
called the certificate to the mind Of the
man who owned it. and he asked the
ether man what had become of it.
That individual enlisted the services of
his wife in the matter and through
her the paper was restored to its right

Tonight and continuing every night
for the week, if the heavens are close

showers may be Witnessed These
showers, which are of varying intensity
ard copiousness, are caused by the
earth entering the path of the almost
unbroken stream Of meteorites which
are moving around the sun. The No

Leonids because they appear to enter
the earth's atmosphere at point IN
line with the constellation of Leo. The
meteorites encountered in November
are only the stragglers of the main
army which the earth encounters but
once in about 33 years. and are esti-

LIQUOR WAR CLOSES
BARS IN ILLINOIS
Continued from page /

Rockford. These cities have entered
on the era of localized thirst.
Alcohol won in Springfield. 1t won
in Bloomington. 1t won in Joliet,
Aurora, Rock Island, Elgin, Kankakee.
Danville, Moline, Waukegan, and Can
ton, among other larger towns and
cities.
In most of these places the defeat
means serious disappointment to the
anti-liquor people, They hoped to win
in Joliet, Aurora, and Bloomington
especially.
The women and the churches of
these three cities had done everything
which could be suggested by inventive
minds to close the doors of the sa-
looms, but the latter, backed to some
degree by the business interests of
the places, withstood the attack.
Small Towns Rout Liquor.
To Offset these setbacks in the larg-
er towns the prohibitionists can point
| to score of smaller ones around the
| bars Of which there is no rejoicing. :
Mattoon with 81 saloons, Charleston
with 10, Paris with 20, Taylorville
with II, Mount Carroll with Z, Lock
port with II, vandalia with 12-these
checked up to the credit Of the ener-
getic opponents Of the saloon.
If the results do ont bear out the
extreme hopes Of the prohibitionists
they offer small consolation to the
liquor interests. The campaign has
been an expensive one. 1t demanded
organization in all of the contested
townships. The liquor people had a
costly travelling force and money had
to be handed out literally to the towns
in which the fights were hottest.
1t has been less expensive for the
prohibitionists and they are at liberty
to renew it at the next election. In
a few cases they are prepared to have
the affair all over again at the town
and village elections April 81.
Whenever there is a township Of
city election they can submit the ques
ton. The saloons must remain con
stantly on the defensive so long as
the local option law remains on the
statute books.
Drys Hold Vantage Ground.
A territory once barred to the saloor
cannot become debatable territor.
again for eighteen months A ter
ritory in which the anti-saloon fign
has is debatable territory all the time
The results, while not consisten
enough to Justify any generalization
regarding the strength or weakness o
the prohibition cause in state Xix
Illinois, point to one fact more strong
ly than any other.
Where the saloon forms an import
ant revenue raising asset for the cit
government the prohibitionists az
: setting what they represent as mora
, and physical good UP against coll
fact of finance.
This may be taken to explain tn
failure in the larger towns of the state
The smaller towns which the prohib
tionists raked in by the bushel ar
not so dependent on the license fe
Of the ''grog shop" for the support {
the city government.
) With this handicap in the bigge
towns the prohibitionists consider tina
: they have fought a good fight i
5 actually landing such cities as Decatu
and Rockford, and in pushing the lii
uor forces so hard in the others.
