THE NEAR BEER SALOON.

With the advent of prohibition
and the consequent abolition of
spirituous liquor saloons in this
state there has come an institu-
ton which perhaps not the equal
of the former, yet it possesses
SO many of the same evil quail
ties, that it might be classed in
the same category.
One Of the foremost arguments
of the prohibition advocates was
the abolition of the bar-room, not
only as a place in which the sale
of liquors took place, but as a
place which encouraged idlers
and loafers, well as lawlessness,
and which was an abettor to
many criminal practices. As the
substitute of such a place the
near beer saloon takes its place,
and has many Of the very same
features so Objectionable in the
bar room. It is a place for the
loafer, a refuge for criminal
practices, and is often the scene
of lawlessness, violence and even
murder: In such capacity it is
even worse than the bar room.
as it often operates under cloak
of responsibility, its proprietor
sometimes a man Of high COM
munity standing.
One has but to glance at the
daily papers to learn of crimes
Of all kinds that were committed
in near beer joints and the OBJ
servant person is already ques
tioning himself whether such
places are any worse than the
bar room.
The great number Of saloons
throughout the state have at
tracted public attention and their
volume Of business indicates that
they are filing the wants Of
many liquor dry threats. The
conditions surrounding such
places are appalling and it is
earnestly hoped that the next
Legislature will make complete
investigation Of them, and if il
finds that they are proper in
stitutions, that it will pass rigiC
lzgs governing them.

Mrs. Joe NJ. Beeman, who lives
near Polkton, has most interesting
freak OF nature in a peafowl hen
which has, apparently, turned to a
peacock. The hen Is about rs years
old and until three years ago layed
regularly every year. Soon after she
stopped laying the hen commenced
growing tail which is now as long
and gorgeous as that Of the yainest
peacock that ever strutted. The
hens breast feathers have also turned
