M DWELLING GOME NEAR BURNING The residence of R. S. Pritchard of the Bay Side section, this county, came near being destroyed byx fire last Monday morning. In some unaccountable manner, a lamp which was supposed to have been "blown out" . exploded and set an up-stairs room on fire. When the flames were discovered they were burning briskly. By quick work on the part of Mr. Pritchard and other members of the family the flames were extinguished with About $2S.0O damages to the contents of the room. Had not the flames been discover ed as soon as they were, very likely the building would have been des troyed as Mr. Pritchard has no fire fighting appliances.

CAN'T COLLECT NEAR BEER TAX A test case was made Saturday af ternoon of the ordinance imposing a five hundred dollar tax on the near beer saloons in this city. Brinson and Blount, two proprietors of near beer saloons, were arrested and taken be fore Judge Sawyer upon the charge of failing to pay the tax. Judge Sawyer rendered his decision that the ordinance imposing the tax was unconstitutional and that the tax could not be collected. There is a provision in the town charter that makes the tax upon such establish ments the same as the tax imposed by the State, which is twenty dol lars per year. Judge Sawyer consult ed the very best legal advice before he rendered a decision, to prevent any criticism that might arise through a misunderstanding of his power in the matter. Blount was also tried upon the charge of selling near beer too far from the door. He was convicted of the charge and was sentenced to pay fifty dollars. An appeal was noted, and thease will go up to the Su perior Court. The ordinance provides that the drink shall be sold within ten feet of the door opening on the street.. The near beer buaines is giving a great deal of trouble. The people are opposed to the operation of these es tablishments in the town and they fear that since the test has now been made "here win be a great many more near beer saloons in the near future located here. v i -? 1 ( f -a 9
