The Daily Necs Of Harrisonburg informs us
that a debate is in prospect between the Ex-
celsior Society of Clover Hill and the Intellec-
tual Club Of Montezuma, Subject: Is a Ma
tional Prohibition Law desirable? The brewers
distillers, saloonists, sots, buns criminals,
gamblers and vicious of all kinds think not.
There are some reputable and conscientious
men who line up with them In favor of the
open saloon But the wives and mothers, the
church and school. the latest thought in econom-
les and the largest experience in philanthropy
are all against the licensing Of the sale Of ar
dent spirits. The Vironlon likes the last COM
pany better than the first. and marches with

Justice Crutchfield in police court
yesterday dismissed the case against
Harry K. jennings, accused of the
theft of $500 who admitted stealing
the money while under the influence

the money while Intoxicated and
when he regained his normal state
of mind found himself in Baltimore
with most OF the money gone. He
said he then went to New York where
he intended to work and earn money
with which to pay that which he
had stolen:
jennings, through Attorney Harry
Smith informed Justice CrutchfeId
that Captain Paul Sharer of the Rich
mpnd Light Infantry Blues Battalion
