and
The historio board of commission
ers of Mecklenburg county convened
in regular monthly session this
morning, but eat h member of the
board seemed to be cool, calm and
collected, for they understood that
for today, at least, they would not be
called upon by anybody wanting; 11
cense to sell liquors In Charlotte.
They breathed easier and wentabout
the regular county business. They
want to ret everything out of the
way though, before 1 o'clock tomor
row, for it is understood that the pea
tiferoua bar keeper will again bow
down before their feet at that lime.
Everything now awaits the action
of tbe board of aldermen. The board
meets this afternoon, when applica
tions for license will be passed upon
Thk News learns that tbe advocates
of license claim seven votes, certain,
and in that event, and provided there
is a quorum this afternoon, the 11
censes jvill be granted. Alderman
Asbury is pat down on the dry side.
Alderman Hi (lord is claimed as a
license voter. Alderman Ward, one
of the drys, is sick at home and can
not attend the meeting.
The board of aldermen met at 4
o'clock this afternoon and a good
deal of discussion vas indulgedin be.
fore tho business was proceeded with
Then the applications for license
were brought up. The Portner Brew
ing Co.. was granted a license by a
vote of 6 to 4. Joe Lindy and Ru
dolph Arndt and others were grant
ed I ice use by a vote of 6 to 5.
The Richmond Terminal.
At a meeting of the Richmond
Terminal held iu New York Hatur-
day afternoon, action was taken in
the matter of the directors of the
Central Railroad company of Geor
gia. It was decided to leave off John
C. Calhoun of New York, and Patrick
Calhoun of Atlanta. The latter was
the attorney of the road and he had
already resigned that position. No
one as yet has been selected to fill
tbe vacancies, but the probabilities
are that two men from Savannah, Ga
will be selected.
Sermon to tbe Battalion.
The services at 8t, Peter's Episco
pal church, Buuday night, were of
quite an interesting nature, the oc
casion being the first annual sermon
to the Charlotte Naval Battalion, by
the chaplain, Rev. Joseph B. Ches
hire. The members of the battalion
atteuded in full uniform and there
was a large congregation. Dr.
Cheshire's remarks were appropriate
and well chosen and were listened
to with deep attention and interest.
Superior to the OiiT-iaiy lint.
A "Social Session," which is to be
presented at the opera house on the
eveniog of the 6th , Is said to be a
really good an J wholesome play.
One of our exchanges says of it : The
Social Session Company appeared
to a good house at the Metropolitan
Theatre last night It is farce
comedy, character acting, burlesque
and musical excellencies that are
brought to the fore by "A Social
Session." This Is to be said, It is per
fectly clean. There is not the slight
est leaning toward the broad sug
gestive or vulgar. The company ap
pear to be correct people, and the
spectator at once classes them as su
perior to the "ordinary run."
-Frank Stafford aud Sam Wilson,
students at the Agricultural College
at Ralbigh, returned to their boo s

days at home.

A GOOD MAM VBAD.
Mr. William T. Shlpn Dies at HI Home
Hear ML Holly
Mr. William T.Bhipp. one of the
most prominent men of Gaston oonn
tyanda man well known throughout
this section of the 8tate, died at his
home near Mt Holly, yesterday
morning. His body was buried at
Goshen Methodist church this after
noon.
Mr. Shipp was about 74 years of age,
He was the father of Mr. Robert
Shipp, of Newton, N. C, and of Mrs-
Henry Wysor, of Dublin. Va-,5 was
first cousin to the late Judge William
Shipp, and brother in-law of Col.
William Johnston, of Charlotte, and
was tbe brother of Rev. Dr. Alvin
Shipp, former president of Wofford
College, and professor In Vsnderbilt
College. He has two snrvlving sons,
Mr. Will Shipp, who lives in Gaston
county, and Mr. A. E. Shipp, who
lives in Virginia.
The deceased was a good man in
all the walks of life, and was justly

tial men of this section of the State

night Officers for the ensuing year,

Nothing Suggestive of Spring Today.
The cold wave, for which signals
were displayed last Saturday,
came along on Schedule time, and
since Saturday night, the town has
been frozen up tight. The mercury
last night dropped to 18 degrees, and
it stood at 20 degrees at 8 o'clock this
morning. Regular old winter weath
er ha? prevailed today, and if the
sun made any efforts to thaw things
out, the result has not yet been ap
parent. The Central's New Annex.
The Hotel Gasette, of New York,
of January 2, has this in reference to
Charlotte Hotels that may be inter
esting to Charlotte people: "Messrs.
EeclesA Bryan, proprietors of the
Central Hotel, will have their new
annex, the Belmont, ready to receive
guests in a few days. It is furnlshe-dJ
n tbe very best style, with solid
walnut and cherry furniture, velvet
carpets, ete. The Belmont replaces
the structure which was destroyed
by fire last February, and is owned
by Mr. H. C. Eccles, who will reside
In it, and will give it the full benefit
of his managerial ability.
A Good Idea.
When it comes to business, Char
lottes cautious and energetio whole
sale merchant, Mr. S. AVittkowsky,
is found solid on all points. The lat
est instance has just come to light
Across the face of all his bill paper
Mr. Wittkowsky has printed in bold
letters: "Are You Insured?" The
country merchant sees the signifi
cance of that at once. Thk Nkws
last week recorded a destructive fire
in Lenoir, among the firms burned
out being Deal & Deal. A day or two
ago, Mr. Wittkowsky received a let
ter from Deal A Deal telling of their
loss, and thanking him for tbe sug
gestion they found on his bill paper.
It was hat which had saved them,
This idea of Mr. Wittkowsky's has
doubtless been the salvation of many
another merchant.
