' 1 - The temperance question' took, a sensational turn Wednesday even ing when Rev.

"Winder had been dis charged from? tha employ of the because, certain saloon men had threatened Mr. WT. M. Baxter with discontinuing their patroange were Mr. Winder retained, -'ine rea son for the saloonists making these threats was that Mr. Winder did not take sides with them. Mr. Tuttle Said: "If this be true I will see to it that the methodist of this itv htiv tberr ice elsewhere." : Quite a stir was created and nnu nuu to me iarct mat ne can back up his assertions.even should it come to blows.' Yesterday he said. "I' came of f fighting stoei. My father wore the championship belt of his. county, for fourty years My first speech at the bar wag fol lowed by my. arrest and 1 trial for I contempt of court I knocked a man down in the presence of judge and jury,".; ; ' 1 .

May God in - all his power speed the time when our good people of Pasquotank county wiltthrow off the shackles of the liquor traffic and say with their influence and votes: .'away with this great evil." As , for myself, I speak now and say, what influence I- have, if any, will be for sober, christian, good government, not only in our nation, state or county but in our dear little city, that is now, dominated by' the power of rum. '. ' I heard it rumored on our streets a few days ago that the Hilijlg.powerjjf our' city so forgot themselves ihat they took men off 6U3? streets who are paid out of the public money of the city and sent chem out in the country to get people to come in to the conven tion to cast their votes with the wiskey ring. .

Mr. Winder made the statement that his "discharge was due to no alteration nor no misunderstanding whatever. .- Said he. "I resigned from Mr. Baxters employ through mutual agreement.

It will be of interest to many of our readers to know that the ligh houses on our coast are of different colors and that this is of much imr portance. This is done that ma rines may distinguish them apart when at a distance from '- land. Take for instance, CapeHatteras ight house. It is by far the most interesting of any on this side of the world. From a distance it bares close resemblance to a eiant barber pole. -Four spiral bands, alternating black and white, en circle it from the base to the focal plane of the light, a distance of ISO feet," The total; height of this ight is 200 Jt - This peculiar striping serves as a dav mark for the marin,es, far w , - out at sea and makes it easily dis inguishable from other fights that eruard our coast. Cape Lookout is cheeked in black and white; Ocracoke, plain white; Bodies Island in itfrozontal bars of black and white while Currituck Beach Light is the 'color of natural brick. The ..Cape Hdtteras light was built in 1871 by-Architect, Nathan Stetson of Nahont, Mass. Its base is 45 feet 4n 'diameter. It grad ually tapers Juntil at its apex it as sumes a diameter of only five feet The original light was built of stone but was damaged during a setere storm to the extent that re- ftnim traction was necessary. The destruction was accomplished by blasting.- . - N0BLc KIDNAPPED. Italian Marguis Tied on, a Railroad , Track.

' She has them, needless i4 9y, and we congratulate Jawrpoa Saving such .able men to wacen A Cut and Wet Convention.' Editor Tar Heel. Dear Sir: On Tuesday last I listed my property for taxation in this county. I am a legal citizen; I am entitled to a voice in the af- fairs of the county and -stato. I was a back seat visitor at the County Convention on last Saturn day and saw the best "packed" convention of the "cut and wet sort" that I ever heard or read of. Only saibon slaves and hirelings could make or speak to a motion with the shadow. of. a hope of Suc cess. The men of barrel bondage had blown out the lamp of liberty, and the darkness of their doings was a delight to the machine manipulators. What honor to Judge Clark to be repudiated by such a convention. What weight on any man's aspiration to office to be endorsed by it For dis grace upon the good morals ""and christian character of Pasquotank county .The saloon steered con vention of last Saturday has its eqaul only in the dark and ' ma licious crime that took fair Ella Cropsey from the peaceful protec tion of her home. - The conduct of that convention vas a sin in the sight of high heaven. Yes, a sin acainst od. home and civil lib- erty. Its managers forgot that we are in 'ft ansition period in N. C. politics. That there is, and will be mow) 4ndependei.ee of spirit in the ejection of 1902 than in any elec&aui in the last half century. Wherefore it. behooves all parties to be eareful as to t!:e character of - ' - i the candidates put forward. It was 'because of this conditictti of things that the State Anti-Ss2oon League wjis organized in theearly part of this year, the object o which is to unite as never before 43fie' voting manhood of thenmurch against saloon supremacy- now ithat negro supremacy is no longer to be feared.
