The ' pro ceedings began to take on an interest ing turn" an once f,v Ben testified that he bad gott. n drunk .Sunday ; on , whiskey got from a' drug store.

His story was that be and J int wanted ' something to drink, Jim w.is of the opinion that lift could get some mwl posted off to , the colored Dr. W. II. Craves. Prom him Jim procured a pre scription calling for a half pint of v w hiskey. This h bad filled at the drug store or w. u. Hand & Co.. at the cor iter of College and Trade streets. They added this to some other sup piles and had a carouse, which ended up In trouble. Ben appeared on the street with a good sized jag on. was arrested and spent the night in the police station. There he probably did tome thinking, and when called t iho stand yesterday afternoon, guvu, the whole thing away. The recorder then directed that a warrant be made out for the colored doctor on the charge of violating the Watts lawi'ln prescribing whiskey for a man not a bona fide patient. Officer Crowell was dispatched to Hand's drug store to see if the pre scription, bad been recorded, according to the provision a or the "What' law It was found that the name of Whitt had not been placed upon the mescrlp lion, and that, though the prescription had been filled, it had not teen re , corded In a separate book, as the Watts law directs. Mr. VV. r. Moody, the c.trk, who filled the prescription was then sent for to appear at the court room. Dr. Graves was called to the stand. He said that Whitt came to him Sun day, saying that some of his family were sick, and he wanted a nrescrlp- tion for some whiskey. He then wrote out a prescription blank call'nsf for a half pint of wlhekey at Hand's drug store. The colored physician ieniej that h.e hnd ever prescribed bug juico In this fashion before, though he was not very Arm about it. He admitted that he made no in vesical io.i to fee whether any of Whltt'fi family wvre r?ally 111. 'It is .evident from your o.vii story that you are as" guilty aj you can le," said the recorder.. Grave? was then bound over to Superior Court in tho sum of $100. Ben Hamil, who got drunk on the prescribed' sow-paw, was fined $J0 and the costs, in default of which he went to jail. Recorder Shahnnonhouse then warn ed Mr. Moody that he must be nicf careful in the future how he ililr.d 8uch prescriptions. "There has been too much of this sort of thing going on at the drug stores, and a stop must lis put to It. The saloons have been optn and not much attention his brc-n paid to the selling of liquor ut ilie drug nturos- but now that prohibition is coming on, I am going to see that they ere rigorously dealt with.

" An Account of Ills Serviom to Ills People- Inol Attendance Imd rated Ut Respect In Which He Was Held by lloUt White ami Ooloml One of the Foremost Men ot lils Race In Uie State, The Observer is requested to publish the following: The funeral of John & Leary, the well-known colored lawyer, was held at St. Michael s Episcopal church on Hun- day afternoon at o'clock and tee the hour had arrived for the service, the church was filled to-its capacity with people from all walks of life, of bot: white and colored, and large number of people who Came wer turned away for the want of room. . Many stood on the outside while the services were being said. Prominently among those who attended the funeral was quite a number of lawyers of the Charlotte bar and many who were not present sent tokens of respect In fact , the .whole body of the Charlotte bar was repre sented by a most beautiful and appro priate design of flowers. Judge Arm! tead Burwell and Mrs, Jt C. Jones Uid other nt anelnl ivthtribiitlnns of flowers. Mr. R. H. Jordin, Mr, andl Mrs. John Wilkes and others were among the prominent citlaena present. The services were conducted by the rector,- Rev. P. P. Alston, and were most impressive. The deceased was the oldest and best known colored lawyer In the State, be ing one of the first colored men to ob tain license to practice law in the State. He was a ripe scholar and a man of great, ability; once or. twice he was elected by the people of Cumberland county to the Legislature; he was sev eral times chosen as delegate to the national Republican convention, and he was also a member of the constitu tional convention. He was for many years an active and conspicuous figure at the bar In Cumberland, Harnett, Sampson, Bladen and New Hanover counties. He was dean of the law de partment of Shaw University, at Ral eigh, for four years. He' had been a resident of this city for 12 years, and as a man and a lawyer at the bar he has so conducted himself aa to com mand the high respect and kind regard of his brother lawyers, and all who knew him. He had been the mouth piece, at the different courts, as It were ior me coiorea people or this com munity, and most active and useful In many of the business enterprises under taken by the colored men of the city By his gentle bearing and shrewdness as a lawyer, he had besn able to get many a man and woman out of trouble. As a church man, he was true and loyal member of his church, -serving as a lay reader for 12 years, being licensed by Bishop T. B. Lyman and again by Bishop Cheshire. He served as super intendent of St. Michael's Sunday school for seven years, and a member of the vestry for four years. He was also the treasurer of St. .Michael's Training and Industrial School up to the time of his death. He was ever ready to do whatever he could to push forward any good work. He was kind, obliging and polite to all. In the death of Lawyer Leary, the State and com munity lose a loyal citizen, and an able lawyer the church a true and faithful member, and his family a loving and affectionate father. sn A it YandE1 Sectional QDoroa remember the ' building blockl of boyhood davs J How each little block was a perfect multiple of some bigwr '' block? 4 And bow each block FITTED IN SOMEWHERE, no matter what itstiie?
