Schools Did Not Suffer

GREENSBORO, N. c. May 3o-(Specia CORE
pondence)-During the campaign which has just
closed with the defeat of the liquor power in this
state, the story was circulated by the saloon in
terests that Gulford county, which got rid of its
saloons in advance of the rest of the state has
been obliged to borrow money to support its
schools since it 'lost" the liquor revenue The
story failed to produce results in this state but
may be used in other parts of the country where
the facts not we'll known. AS matter
of fact it can be said that while Guilford county
is spending for schools something like two and
half times as much as ten years ago, it has
not borrowed cent.

NORTH CAROLINA GOES DRY"
Another Southern State Joins the Prohibition
Column-Traf6c Outlawed by $4,000
Majority


Majority
RALEIGH, N. c., May Ell Special correspond
nce)-Yesterday, by a majority of some forty
four thousand, the voters of the state of North
Carolina ouawed the liquor traffic throughout
the borders of the 'Old North State"
The results of the election creates comparative
for months past. The only question that has
been felt to be at issue was the size of the
majority for Prohibition Even the liquor adj
vocates, after spending minis of money, had
practically given up the struggle and confessed
defeat before the polls opened
One of the surprising features of the election
is the fact that almost every county of the state
where the lawful sale Of liquor remained gave
a majority for Prohibition. Every large town
of the state was also carried for Prohibition SO
far it now be learned seventy of
the nnety-eght counties of the state returned
majorities against the liquor traffic. In round
numbers about seventy thousand votes were cast
against Prohibition and about one hundred and
fourteen thousand in favor of Prohibition
This victory has been won largely upon moral
grounds, supported by the excellent results that
have been observed in every county of the
state where Prohibition has been tried under
local option. The moral forces of the state
have been practically unit for Prohibition. It
. is said that minister in the state has been
found to declare himself against the Prohibition
movement. Governor Glenn has been pronounced
ly in favor of Prohibition, and has campaigned
for weeks past, speaking in almost all parts of
the state Upon the other hand, Judge Pritchard
of the federal court the most prominent Repub-
lcan in the state, has been equally pronounced
for Prohibition and has spoken in that behalf
repeatedly.
The law which goes into effect upon the first
day of January next is sweeping Prohibition
statute containing only possible loophole,
clause which provides that domestic wines
and elders may be manufactured and sold in
sealed or Grated packages, not containing less
than two and one-half gallons, if sold at the
place of manufacture Only and not to be drunk
upon the premises where sold.

for New York. Shall we discuss the matter of those Peruvian claims? That is business. These other affairs are more in the nature of delightful diver sions, my dear comrade."
 They drew nearer the table, and Du- rand produced Q box or papers, over which he bent with serious attention. Armitage had heard practically all of their dialogue and. what was of equal interest, had been able to study the faces and learn the tones of voice of the two conspirators. He was cramp- ed from his position on the narrow bal cony and wet and chilled by the rain, which was now slowly abating. He had learned much that he wished to know and with an ease that astonished him, and he was we'll content to with draw with gratitude for his good for tune,
 His legs were numb. and he clung close to the railing of the little ladder for support as he crept toward the area. At the second story his foot slipped on the wet iron. smooth from long use. and he stumbled down sev- eral steps before he recovered himself He listened moment, heard nothing but the tinkle of the rain in the spout, then continued his retreat.
 As he stepped out upon the brick courtyard he was seized from behind by a pair of strong arms that clasped him tight. In a moment he was thrown across the threshold of door into an unlighted room. where his captor promptly sat upon him and proceeded to strike light.

fly with all his might at the Servian's head, upturned in the earnestness of his bawling On the instant the re- volver roared loudly in the narrow kitchen, and Armitage seized the brass lamp and flung it from him upon the hearth. where it fell with great clat- ter without exploding.
 It was instantly pitch dark. The Servian had gone down like felled OK, and Armitage, at the threshold, leaped over him into the hall past the rear stairs, down which the men were stun. bling, cursing volubly as they came.
 Armitage had assumed the existence of front stairway, and now that he was launched upon an unexpected ad- venture he was In humor to prolong it for moment even at further risk. He crept along a dark passage to the front door, found and turned the key to provide himself with ready exit, then, as he heard the men from above stumble over the prostrate Servian. he bounded up the front stairway. gained the second floor, then the third and readily found by its light the room that he had observed earlier from the outside.
 Below there was smothered confu- sion and the cracking of matches as Durand and Chauvenet sought to grasp the unexpected situation that confront ed them. The big servant, Armitage knew, would hardly be able to clear matters for them at once. and he hur- riedly turned over the packets of pa pers that lay on the table. They were claims of one kind and another against several South and Central American republics, chiefly for naval and mili- tary supplies, and he merely noted their general character. They were. on the face of it certified accounts in the usual manner of business. On the back of each had been printed with a rubber stamp the words: Vienna, Paris, Washington. Chauvenet ct Durand"
 Armitage snatched up the coat which Chauvenet had so carefully placed on the back of his chair. ran his hands through the pockets, found them empty. then gathered the garment tightly in his hands. iausnsii a little to himself to feel the papers sewn into the lining and laughed again as he tore the lining loose and drew forth a fat linen envelope brilliant with three seals of red wax.

Armitage had resolved to play the part of an Englishman who understood no German, and he addressed the man sharply In English several times to sig. nifty that he did not understand.
 The Servian half turned toward his prisoner. the revolver in his left hand. while with the fingers of his right he felt laboriously for lamp that had been revealed by the fitful flashes of the matches. It is not m easy matter to light lamp when you have only one hand to work with. particularly when you are obliged to keep an eye on . mysterious prisoner of whose character you are ignorant. and 1t was several minutes before the job was done.
 You will go to that .orner," and the servian translated for his prison CTS benefit with gesture of the re- volver.
 Anything to please you, worthy fel- low" replied Armitage, and he obeyed with amiable alacrity. The mans ob- ject was to get him as far from the inner door as possible while he called help from above, which was. of course, the wise thing from his point of view, as Armitage recognized.
 Armitage stood with his back against rack of pots. The table was at his left and beyond 1t the door opening upon the court. A barred window was at his right. Opposite him was another door that communicated with the in' terior of the house and disclosed the lower steps of rude stairway leading upward. The Servian TOW closed and locked the outer kitchen door with care.
 Armitage had lost his hat in the area; his light walking stick lay in the middle of the floor; his inverness coat hung wet and bedraggled about him; his shirt was crumpled and soiled. But his air of good humor and his tame ac- ceptance of capture seemed to increase the Servian's caution, and he backed away toward the inner door with his revolver still pointed at Armitage's head.
 He began calling lustily up the mar row stairwell In Servian, changing in a moment to German. He made a ludicrous figure. as he held his revolver at arms length. craning his neck into the passage and bowling until he was red in the face. He paused to listen, then renewed his cries. while Armi- tage, with his back against the rack oi pots, studied the room and made his plans.
 There is thief here. have caught a thief" yelled the Servian, now exas. perated by the silence above. Then, as he relaxed a moment and turned to make sure 'that his revolver still GOV cred Armitage, there was sudden sound of steps above, and a voice bawled angrily down the stairway:
 "Zmai, stop your noise and tell me what's the trouble"
 It was the voice of Durand speaking tD the Servian dialect. and Zmai opened his mouth to explain.
 AS the big fellow roared his reply Armitage snatched from the rack a heavy iron boiling pot. swung 1t high by the bail with both hands and let 1t
