.Battle for Prohibition in
Last Monday, according to adver-
i lisement published in the Advance.
the magistrates 01 the county, aiut tne
county board of education (the board
of county commissioners) met in the
Court House to elect a Superinten
dent of P..'. lie lnstructious tor the
couriy to diold olfice until the first
Monday in December 1882. A num
ber of magistrates arc anti-prohili-tionists
and after caucusing determined
not to voto for any man who was i j
favor of prohibition. ?
At 1 ;30 p. m., the board met. Jus
tice Brooks 'presiding. Mr. James
Murray was placed in nomination by
IV. J. T. (raves, a id John E. Wood
ard was nominated by Mr. T. R. Ea
gles.;: 1 ' .
The result was : Jas. Murrav. 13 ; J.
E. Woodard, 10 ; E. M. Nada'l, 1.
The result, although the positions
were not clearly, defined, was a victory
for Mr. -Murray a", prohibitionist, over
the candidate the anti prohibitbnists
nominated Mr. JToodard.
Injustice let it be s'aul ".that M,
Woodard was not a candidate, did not
know his name would be presented,
and was a warm supporter of Mr. Mur
ray, and desired his election.

I he Vote on Prohibition in Teuton.
A reliable gentleman from J ones
county who was in town last week, and
being interviewed concerningHhe elec
tion at Trenton on prohibition concern
ing which the Wilmington Star has had
so much to say, said that in the first
place the vote could (riot-- have stood
"271 against and 7 fjr, because there
were not more than 75 voters in the
place, and second, that a number of
those who voted against prohibition
for Trenton are prohibitionists and will
vote for it' in August.
The Star and the other papers who
noticed the overwhelming (?) majority
against prohibition at Trentoa should
make Has sorrcelion. I
Parke'- Daniels make the best lem-
aue, and don't you forget it.

thereupon he went to his wife; house
and had an interview with her

although it did not appear that my
violent temper or very harsh words
were used on the occasion. However

way ;to the Institute to hear the address
of Mr. Kingsbury. J he learned editor
of the Wilmington Star.
Tile exercises opened with an
instrumental Sole 'Ciipriccio Urillante'
by Carrie C Coghill. 1
Miss Coghill is quite young and her'
progress has been remarkable.. , Her
skill Ins T. performer is equal to that of
many ladies we kuow who have : spent
many years' in the prosecution of the
study. Her rendilion of this piece
was jthe srjbject of muclvmcrited praise'.
Next on the programme was a
chorus by thexiavs -'When the Suni
rner Itain is over." j
An instrumantal Solo "Home Sweet
Home," by Miss Lillie Gay whose
nccornpliahmcnU as a pianist are

we deem it needless to say that all
judges of music pronounced its icndi-

very difficlt piece and no one bulj a

And for over an hour in a leared
