ANOTHER VICTORY
FOR PROHIBITION
Saloons Wiped out in Seventy
Counties in North Carolina

RALEIGH, n. c., May 20.
North Carolina was carried for
state prohibition today by major
ity that is estimated at from 40, =
600 to AZ, 900 on reports and esti-
mates received up to midnight.
The prohibition ticket has
carried seventy-eight out of the
hinety-eight counties by majorities
approximately 1880. The anti
prohibition ticket has carried
twenty counties by majorities APP
proximating 5000. This calcu-
lation is partly based on estimates
and the prohibition leaders say that
it is possible for the prohibition
majority to reach $4,000.
The election passed off very
quietly, no disturbance of any
moment being reported.
The total vote cast in the state
was about Us, 1000.
Every large town in the state eX-
.cept Wilmington aud Durham went
prohibition.
Under the regulations of the
prohibition bill submitted to the
people there will be no manufaC-
ture or sale of Intoxicating liquors
in the state after January /, 1909.

erous to a fault and will be missed
very much. He was a man OF
much more than ordinary ability
and was considered quite an orator.
As a minister, his disCourses were
practical and as a pulpit orator he
had few, if any equals, i'll this city.
Like all mankind, he had his faults
but this much can be said of him;
the public always knew that he was
right in principle, the worst was
always on the outside, he never APP
peared what he was not. Twice
was he elected to the position OF
county assessor, in 1902 and 1904.
He was a member of the Masonic
order and The Modern Woodman
of America, the funeral discourse
beinp delivered by Rev. Ralph
Sargent, pastor Of Christian church.
The funeral was under the auspices
of the Modern Woodmen whose
ritualistic services at the grave arc
solemn and impressive.
He leaves a wife and daughter TO
mourn his loss and III their hour
of trouble they have the sympathy
of a host of friends. The remains
were followed to their last resting
place on earth, in the Odd Fellows

appreciate the cool shade of our beau
tiful old oaks. These "monarchs of
the forrest" are growing fewer and
fewer, by being ruthlessly cut down to
make way for first one improvement
and then another. But is the cutting
of these trees, under any ordinary cir
cumstances, an improvement?
They represent ages of growth and
a sylvan beauty that can never be
replaced.
The kindly provisions of nature are
thrust aside, and we are deprived
of that protection from the glar-
ing burning sunlight that is of
such necessity to us all during our hot
summers. Cooler countries, towns
where the unbearable days, that mean
sun-stroke and heat prostration, are
few, can do without this blessed shade
of spreading trees, but we cannot.
We are disposed to regard the poem
fWoodman, Spare that Treep' as inane
"a fool sort Of pleading, that outside #
rhyme would have no place
But, when we see one of our stately
oaks felled to earth, and hear the
mighty crash of breaking branches, it
fills our hearts with keen regret and
puts new meaning into the poets words

THE CARNIVAL,

New Orleans had an ideal day for her Carnival
Hast Tuesday, and the city was thronged with
visitors. Expressions of praise for the city
and wonder at the great improvements that were
taking place could be heard on all sides, and as
a country relative, with prospects of sharing in
her prosperity, of course Covington is delighted.
Many Covington people attended. John ]. Gan
non was king and Miss Elizabeth L. Maginnis,
queen.
The Carnival in Vaudeville was a fine display.
The floats were decorated by expert workmen,
in charge of Mr.. Walter April, of New Orleans,
who was decorator for the New Orleans Carni-
val and the large crowds that visited Mande-
vile Tuesday were delighted
Monday afternoon the king, Mr.. P A. Arce-
neaux, was met at the wharf, where he entered
his carriage, which was beautifully decorated,
and was driven to the residence Of Mayor Be-
rey, who delivered to him the keys of the town.
The parade Tuesday was a grand success in
every way and reflected credit upon the people
of Vaudeville
The ball in the evening at Pythian Hall was
an event that had long been looked forward to
as an occasion for royal time, and the scene
was one that will be retained in the memory of
Vaudeville society for some time
Mr.. A. Hartman was king, and Miss 1nez Ri
bava was chosen as his qeeen.

A DEVASTATING FIRE.
Continued from First Page.

which he attended last Thursday
night.
1t was upon his return to the home
OF his sister, Olga Averbuch, 218
Washburn avenue, that the young
Russian contemplated suicide, as des-
cribed by the sister to the police.
Averbuch, instead of going to night
school as his sister declared he did is
SAID to have been in nightly communi-
cation with band Of radical revo-
iutionists, and it was at meeting of
men that Averbuch was chosen to
assassinate the police head.
Averbuch is said to have left his
home on Friday morning following
his acceptance of the commission
and to have never returned. He went
to his place of employment at Ech-
green's Commission House, on South
Water street, and in conversation
with his fellow employees made num-
erous inquiries regarding the chief of
police. He is said tohave talked vio-
lently concerning the order which pro-
hibited the parade Of the ''unemploy-
ed" last January.
Where does the chief live?', Aver
buch is reported to have asked one of
his associates. eI'dlike to find out what
kind Of home he has got .
Later one of the men informed
Averbuch that he had looked up his
address and gave it the young Rus
sian written on scrap of paper. At
the time Averbuch's interest sin the
police official failed to arouse suspicion,
but being recalled after the attempt up
on the life of the chief, was the clew
which led to the Identification Of the
Would-be slayer.
We have several complete clews,
said the assistant chief of police to-
night, (which we believe will lead to
the arrest Of the conspirators. Olga
Averbuch persistently refuses to give
US any informatinn. We are seeking
the young woman, Rosa Stern, among
others, who lived with Ayerbuch and
his sister"
To-night's developments followed a
day Of activity on the part of the city,
State and Federal authorities, which
resulted in the formation of plans for
co operation in the Werk.of stamping
out anarchy in Chicago. In the mean
time the police department was pursu-
ing with new vigor it's search for rad
icals throughout the Ghetto district.

The position taken by the Lutheran Church,
at its recent Conference, as regards the prohibi-
ton question is the clearest and most explicit
exposition of the fallaces of the prohibitionists
contention of scriptural authority for their sup
port that we have noted. It is logical and sound
in its views as to the separation Of the political
and the moral issue question either Of expe-
nieney or morality land establishes the right to
freedom of thought without the stigma Of the
polluted mind. Many who are convinced of the
undsoundness of the prohibition policy have been
forced to silence or acquiescence for fear of be-
ing thought unchristian or immoral

School Children Burned.

Cleveland, o., March 4.-Death in
one of its most terrible forms claimed
between one hundred and sixty and
one hundred and seventy school child
rem of the North CollinWood School
in the village of CollinWood, an east
ern suburb, to-day when the school
building, catching fire from a defec-
tive furnace in the basement, was
burned in a space of half an hour.
One hundred and sixtv-five bodies had
been taken out at 10 o'clock tonight.
AS the building was inadequately
nrotected by fire escapes, the children
were unable to make their way to the
lower floors in time to escape the
flames as they shot up from the base
ment and cut off egress.
Starting about 8 o'clock in the base
r.ent from the overheated furnace,
the ERE gained tremendous Roadway
bafore its presence was noted.
The FIRE drill was inaugurated at once

The bitter is inseparable from the sweet. The
United States, in assuming prominent place
among the powers of the earth, has placed itself
on the black list of the anarchist, and we must
expect our share of his hatred of everything
that is influential, yields authority or possesses
wealth.
The assassination of Rev. Leo Heinrichs has
been followed by the attempted assassination of
Geo. NJ Shippy, Chief of Police of Chicago with
Of Mayor Busse. The higher the position occu-
pied by the selected victim, the greater the
honor to the anarchist who destroys him. AS a
field for Singing marks the United States offers
great inducements; but it also has method of
dealing with anarchists that is highly antago-
nistic to their ideas of freedom and discouraging
to their organizations; but in spite of all, spas
modic outbreaks seem uncontrollable.
