A. should be thrown open to all of the boys in town; that every one should have a nance;; that the poor boy should have an opportunity in life and he wanted tlje women to see to it that the boys and girls who had to work should have the privileges of the Y. M. C. A. without . cost to them. That if the women would urge it he be-j Heved the people would rally around them and see it was done. Rev. F. M. Hawley urged loyalty to the Y. M. C. A. work. That it was a necessity and the good that would result from it was in. calculable He urged with Mr. Aydlett the doors should, be thrown open to all the boys and girls of the town. - Rev. C. F. Smith urged that" there should be concert of action. That the physical training was of the great est importance. That the Y.

WOOD, Clerk-Treas. Jior tne time being the above or- ainance nas eviaentiy put tne near beer saloons out of business in this easy living-and the high prices did not trouble--them; - . ' - -vj; ... - -' . . ' , Ari" attempt was made to Convict them of selling intoxicating beverag es. This failed for the lack of evi dence. Then the Aldermen enacted an ordinance imposing a high tax. This set the saloonists - guessing. They went to Judge Sawyer to know if the law was valid, as they had been advised that it was not. The judge was non commital. He refused to give an opinion, and informed them that they would have to .wait until some one of them was arrested and brought be fore him. Then he wouidvpass upon the law. This passing on. the law very probably at their expense did not suit the beer men, so they de cided to suspend operation at least for the time being to await develop ment!,. Now, what is troubling the near beer saloonists, is that nothing is developing, and they are out of bus iness to the entire satisfaction of the people of the city. Near beer saloons are not wanted here, they are not needed here, and any attempt to reopen them will be met with determined resistances by the best people of the town. If the former proprietors of these establish ments will stay out of business, they will evidently save themselves much trouble and at the same time will cause them to be held in kinder esteem as citizens of the town. BOTTOM OUT OF BROWN'S SUIT Contrary to nobody's expectation the second of Mr. Andrew Brown's much heralded" suits against Mr. E. F. Aydlett, fell flat, and Mr. Brown took another non suit in the Federal Court this week and suffered! another judgement for cost. Mr. Aydlett has said all along , M.;ta wra instituted imrely. through malice and his .many friends are congratulating him that he has, again, called Brown's bluff. The history I of Brown's many liti gations, show that he never gives up wnen ne nas emu a chance to win, and his voluntary and absolute - surrender in this and the Fasuotank suit show conclusively that there is nothing in hiS con- tentions i 1 if "7 MISSES OUTLAW ENTERTAINED Misses Elizabeth and Alice Outj law entertained most charming v Sat urday afternoon from three to six at their beautiful home "Seven Pines" compltiEfefitary to Mrs. Sam Worth ington of Wilson.

Knowles last Tuesday received his naturaliz tion papers and became a citizen of the United States ( Mr. Knowles came to America from England several years ago. He located here and has since piled his vocation of plumber. Mr. Knowles brought with him from the old country testimonals of his ability as a plumber and of his good character. During the number of years he . has resided here he has proven to the people that the testi monials are true. Mr. Knowles is a first class plumber and he is kept pretty busy. He is a splendid gen tleman, kind courteous and accomm f dating. He is well known and is held in the highest esteem. He is closely identified with the various interests of the city. In granting the naturalization pa pers Tuesday, Judge Connor took oc casion to say that English people made excellent citizens and he belived that Mr. Knowles would sustain that reputation, that Mr. Knowles was a nice looking gentleman and he was glad to welcome him as a first class American citizen. Mr. Knowles past life sustains the judge's good opinion of him and Mr. Knowles many friends congratulate him upon his good fortune to become a citizen of the greatest country on earth. The Sound Sleep of Good Health The restorative power of sound sleep can not be .over estimatedand any ailment that prevents it is a menace to health. J. L. Southers, Eau Claire, iWs., says: "For a long time" If have been unable to sfleep soundly night, because of pains across my back and soreness of my kidneys. My appetite was very poor and my general condition was much run down I have been taking Foley's Kidney Pills but a short time and now sleep I as sound as a rockI eat and enjoy my meals, and my general condition is greatly improved. I can honestly recommend Foley's Kidney Pills as I know they have cured me.' Brown's Pharmacy. '. . - UNCLESAMGFJS is Position ON THE NEAR BEER SALOONS. SAYS THAT HE IS OPPOSED TO THE SALE OF THE STUFF. HE DID NOT WRITE THE TOWN CHARTER. Mr. Aydlett was seen by our repor ter and asked if he was in favor of the sale of near beer in , Elizabeth City. 'He replied No. That he was as bitterly opposed to the sale of it as anybody. He said it was . untrue, that he was in any way trying to evade the law. That he had represent ed some parties charged of selling in toxicating liguors. That they admitt ed selling near beer but the witness ess introduced by the State said it would not intoxicate. That he in troduced no witness and the parties were discharged. That by represent ing the defendants, he was in no way favoring violating the law or sail of near beer any more than any lawyer defending anyone charged with a crime could be charged with committing that crime. It is the duty of lawyers to defend people charged with crime. He was asked about the ordinance. Mr, Aydlett" said he and , opinion under our town charter ordinance was void. The Solicitor has so advised. He was asked how was it our town charter was different from others. He said that up to the last legislature the ordinance would have been good, but at that time the charter was changed. He said he did not know who changed it. That hie had, nothing to do with the change and did hot know of its change until within the last two weeks. That he has heard the Aldermen favored amended charter and sent its mayor to Raleigh with it and had our rep resentative to introduce and pass it. That he never saw it before it was passed, had nothing to do with the change. That in his opinion the change as to levying license was an oversight in those who drew the amended charter andi not intended to make the change it made. He does not believe that those who had to do with the change would favor sale of near beer in our town.
