THE Supplemdnt. February 9 th, 1909. As to the East Spencer Saloon. To say that it is a matter of general surprise and regret that by a vote of thre to twoRowan's com missioners granted a licenso to sell whiskey on prescription at a so-called drag store in East Spen cer, is but mildly, expressing pub lic sentiment. All right-minded, law-abiding citizens, whether in favor of the prohibition law or not, openly declare that, ever. if there was no law to the contrary, the commissioners made a great 'mistake and yiolated the confi dence of the people, if they have not forfeited it. Bat for men who were elected by the people and in good faith, believing that they would certainly respect the wishes of a large majority, and who have taken oath to see to the enforce ment of all law, to deliberately violate the law, is a situation . hard for the average law-abid ing citizen to comprehend. - In short the lay mind, in this ma- siority-governed land, does not understand why the commission ers can set at naught both law, custom and a majority vote of the entire county with impuni ty and at the same time the in dividual cannot walk across his neighbor's potato pa'ch without being indicted and held to account. Yea, verily, they wonder on what kind of meat these men feed that they have grown so great. Are they above the law? We will see what we shall see and wil proDaDiy do aoie to give jome interesting readiog on the subject at an early date. Mrs. J. B.
