The vets have a decided advantage
over the drys in the legislative COM
mittee; whether this was brought
| about by deliberate design or just
happened, no one seems to know at
this stage of the game, only the
speaker and lieutenant governor cam
answer this question truthfully and
neither of them is saying anything.
The drys are leaning heavily on the
governor, but the vets believe he has
said his last word on the subject and
will abide the decision of the General
, Assembly without further comment.
The settlement of this troublesome
question seems now to be loaded with
dangerous personalities for the fu-
ture of the Democratic party in North
Carolina. It is simply impossible to
settle it in manner that will be
, pleasing to the different schools of
thought. If Governor Hoey throws his
influence behind any plan that has
been suggested or should he suggest
! some plan of his own, he can put it
over. He is becoming more popular
each day with the General Assembly
and large majority of the members
of both houses will follow his leader
ship when and if he suggests a plan
of action. This is the knottiest pro-
'blem this General Assembly will be
confronted with. A statewide referen-
dunn would relieve them of respon-
| sibility.

In the open there was no opposition

To the Editor
Beneath the surface, the liquor
question is boiling and seething in the
North Carolina General Assembly.
Sentiment seems to be divided three
ways. The extreme vets are satisfied
with the present status if they find it
impossible to extend the present sys-
tenn to a Statewide basis. They would
do any thing to avoid a Statewide re-
ferendum because they know they
would lose what they now have if
the drys should win the election. The
~drys are moving Heaven and Earth
to win their fight for submission of
the question to a Statewide vote. The
moderates seem to favor a Statewide
county referendum and the establish
ment of distilleries and breweries to
be operated and controlled by the
state. The division of sentiment
makes the outcome of the fight very
uncertain.

TODAY'S YESTERDAYS

Feb. 2, 1865-Charles II, 55-year-old
king of England, Scotland, Ireland and
some of this continent, was being
shaved in his bedroom at a. m. when
he was seized with appopleptic con-
WILSON'S. Royal physicians were pre-
sent within few minutes and they i'm
mediately applied the foremost medi-
cal knowledge of the day.
They bled the king twice, nearly two
pints in all. They gave him a purga-
walls. The anema, compounded of
"antimony, sacred bitters, rock salt
mallow leaves, violets beetroot, camo-
mile flowers fennel seed, linseed, Gin
namon, cardamon seed saffron cochi-
neal and aloes!"
The kings head was shaved and a
blister was purposely raised on his
scalp. A sneezing powder of hellebore
root was administered and also a pow
der of cowslip flowers ito strengthen
his brain" To strengthen his SYSTEM
he was given a drink of barley water
licorice and sweet almond, and later
with extracts of thistle leaves, mint
rule and angelica.
A plaster of Burgundy pitch and pig
con dung was applied to his feet, and
later gentian root, nutmeg, quinine
and cloves. This failed to help, so
drops of extract of human skull was
tried.
Yet the puzzled physicians had to
watch the king die, murmuring with
his last breath, 'Let not poor Nelly
starve"
Nelly was Eleanor Gwynn, then IS,
who was prettiest woman in the king
dom (chroniclers said) because she
rubbed her teeth white with gunpowd-
er and washed her hair a flaming red
in a mixture of burned roots of hemp
and cabbage. Nelly was one of seven
women who bore Charles total of Il

queen. Nelly did starve!
