One Dannenburg, who ques-
toned the right Of Charlotte
to make him come across with
81, 900 for the privilege OF
selling near beer and carried
the matter to the courts, has
lost out. The Supreme Court
affirms the action of the lower
court and says that the city has
the right to levy the tax. Such q
high tax seems to indicate that
there turks a sneaking suspicion
that the bottles labeled near
beer" contain the genuine arti.
Gle; and that's about the size OF
it. Few who crave the real
''suds" would patronize for long
q Joint" that dispensed nothing
but near-beer Stops. It is only 8
question of being next and wink
ing the other eye.

MONDAY. DECEMBER 6, 1863.

Fires ought to be more consld-
crate about the time they choose
for breaking out. They ought
so. 1t is a bloomin' shame for a
fire to break out and burn up a
house at the very hour when the
fire-quenching brigade is off the
Job and there is not enough
steam at the power house to make
a noise. That was q very un-
mannerly fire that broke out at l
o'clock Friday afternoon. Who
ever heard of a fire burning a
house that time of day!Of course
the fire whistle couldn't be ex.
pected to blow that time o'day,
nor the hose to get busy. 1t is
Joy to think that at certain hours
a fire may rage without fear OF
an alarm being given or effort
made to quench.

Der the cash receipts at the Lum-

than were the receipts for an
entire year when DR.. r. M. Nor
ment and his assistant, Mr.. R.

Office nine years ago. The re-
ceipts for November totaled 1910,
the best months business in the

tell a story of great progress and
carry their own comment.
