',. ' The State board of director this
morning adopted. In toto, the black
lilt Messrs. Lyon and Chrlstensen
aent In of whiskey houses that have
not been dealing fairly with the State,
and the list Included a number the
board was about to award bids to. The
result Is that the purchases will not
be wade until this afternoon, the
tng session or the Doaxd being de
voted almost exclusively to canvass
ing a large number of bids from a
great variety of whiskey concerns
throughout the country.
"We will certainly purchase noth
ing from any concern named in the
list," said Chairman Rawllnson, voic
ing the sentiment of the other mem
bers of the 'board standing by him.
"We shall work In thorough harmony
wtth the investigating committee in
all matters. "We want their assistance.
We are going to award these purchas
es according to the best bids. No, we
will not publish the bids, as this would
be exposing business secrets of the
houses dealing with us. That sort of
information will be available to the
Investigating committee alone."
The members of the board were
tnuch put out this morning over the
published statement that it held a
number of secret session Is a small
room adjoining the regular board
room. They all said there was abso
lutely no foundation for such a state
ment, that they consulted together in
this room on the matter of bids, but
that no secret session was held any
where. NEWSPAPER. MEN EXCLUDED.
While no definite action was been
taken on the question so far. It Is
not likely that this board will open
Its sessions to the newspaper men.
The conclusion was reached Informally
to-day to give out what Information
, the board thinks the public should
have through the clerk, from the mln
' " jutes, admitting representatives of the
newspapers to hearings on special top
ic They contend that nothing tran
ej aptrcs that they have any objections
J, to being published except In the light
of business policy. A sample Item
long ithe line of Information that
J. eh on Id not go to the public is the ac
tion of the board In the matter of em
v - ploying an attorney to pass upon the
legality of the purchases of the old
board The members will not say
whether they have employed an attor
ney or not. The board expects to con
clude Its sessions this afternoon.

amount carried by any local bank,

splendid patronage and, oat the end of

by some of the largest stockholders
that, at the end of the first six months,
a semi-annual dividend of 4 per cent,
will be deciAred. This is Regarded as
remarkably good for "the first showing,
and there Is hattirally Joy over the
splendid record so far made.
Citizens from the east ward, In which
the city's tenderloin district Is almost
a special bailiwick, have presented an
earnest petition to the mayor and
board of aldermen to banish from this
ward the disreputable women. Mayor
Boyden has sent the petition up for
the next meeting of the aldermen.
In case of failure here, the matter
will be carried before the grand jury.
Sarah Clodfelter, a. Spencer negro.
Is held In a (50 bond, pending a pre
liminary hearing In which she is In
dicted for an assault upon Edna Ea
gle, a young white woman. The Clod
felter virago and the white woman
quarreled Monday night and the ne
gress knocked "her down with a brick,
breaking her Jaw and bruising badly
her fa and head. Officer Crews
paught the negro girl and she was put
under the bond, awaiting the recov
ery of the white woman.
.Mr. J. T. Wyatt. the granite man,
declaims that Faith, his home town,

able to secure enough sidetracks to do
their large business and ate anxious
for a new line. It Is said that all peo
ple within a radius of 20 miles will
favor the proposition to help the N. &
W. along. Little can be done until
the next Legislature meets, when an
election will be ordered.
H. M. Cable, of Oreensboro, Is here
to-day looking over Salisbury's field
with a view to opening a saloon here.
Mr. Cable wan once owner of saloons

those two cities dry. He has fixtures,
he says, that are worth In a bar more
