Demand for a Statewide referen-
dunn on prohibition, declared the
"only Democratic way" to decide the
vexing problem, was contained in a
resolution adopted by the National
Grange local at Dabney in Vance
county at a meeting Tuesday night.
The liquor question was character
lied in the resolution as that foot
ball of scheming politicians and it
was further set forth that ga few
selfish men, more interested in saw
ing a little money for the rich tax
payer than the homes and firesides
of the State" in the last legislature
started us back to the old barroom
days of yore," and claimed that crime
and accidents have Increased to an
alarming extent on account of the in
creaced use of Intoxicating liquors"
COPIES of the resolution were or
dered sent to the governor of the
State, the president of the Senate, the
SPEAKER of the House and the senator
and representative from Vance county
in the legislature.
The resolution was sent to the Daily
Dispatch by j. H. Wright, who said
that John Sprunt Hill, of Durham,
"reprerents the big money of the
State as senator from Durham coun-
ty. is the same man who brought IL
quor back here two years ago, and
he is doing his best to get it in every
county in the State. He is the one
man in the legislature who when he
tales snuff they all sneeze, even the
governor"
Mr.. Wright hoped that every county
in the State would organize against
'1he rum racket" and pleaded please
nav some man or woman in this town
announce in this paper that they will
call a meeting of all who wish to
drive liquor from our midst at some
early day, and let us see if we can
not do something to free us from
this damnable curse"

CAFETER|AS OPEN
AT THREE SCHOOLS
*
Lunches Provided at North
and South Henderson
For Students

Cafeterias had been opened today
in three city schools-the Henderson
high, North Henderson and South
Henderson-to serve lunches to the
children at the noon hour instead of
their being forced to go to their
homes or bring lunches. Superinten-
dent E. M. Rollins told the city school
board at it's meeting Wednesday night
that these cafetries had been opened
and that all of them had started off
in a most satisfactory manner
Provision was made in the new
schools for the inclusion of these IA
cilities to accommodate the children.
No other schools in the city have
cafeteries, and until now there had
been none anywhere.
It was also stated by Mr.. Rollins
that the seating equipment for the
auditorium of the South Henderson
school had arrived and was being
placed for the use of the auditorium
there.
The cafeteria at the high school
operated Wednesday for it's first day,
and gross sales were $1,000, it was re-
ported. This was expected to increase
as the lunch room requires a smooth
er operation and a more general pat
ronage on the part of the students.
Mrs. George Rowland is in charge
temporarily at least.

South now decided that he must enter the dummy in order to take another spade finnesse. He played 8 small club and won in dummy with the ace. A trump was led. East played the queen. South con- fidentaly covered with the king.
 Dr. Mark won this thick with the ace and then played small club. East won with the queen, returned a diamond, and Dr. Mark ruffed. The ace of hearts was cashed, thereby setting the contract.
 If South had attempet to enter the dummy by playing a heart, West would have jumped right in with the ace and led club knock ing out dummy's ace, while he still had the ace of spades.
 Had South played his king of spades after fiinessing the jack, the contract would have been made. However, credit must be given Vests clever refusal to win the first trump lead.
