THE ALLIANCE ARMY.
It Is A Mighty Order with Immense
Power.
Not Rich Though, For Who Knows A
. ) Millionaire Farmer ?
At the State Alliance of Iowa, the re
port of the secretary showed th-it 251
new sub-Alliances had been organized
within three months, an nvcr.igt? of near
ly three Alliances icr day in that one
State. Yet there will soou be another
cry that the Alliance is' breaking up."
The Swedish farmers of Mianesofa arc
joining handa with the native born till
ers of the foil. They have organized an
Alliance at Spencer Brook, Isanti county,
and they will battle for reform in their
adopted couutry. Two Alliance papers
are now being published in the Swedish
language in Minnesota.
The Alliance and Reform Press now
has papers published in seven different
languages in the United States, viz ,
linglish, Spanish, French, German, Nor
wegian, Dauish and Swedish The
movement is growing in all directions at
an amazingly rapid and solid rate.
Make the home the center of your farm

A bushel of corn makes fo ir gallons of

Texas Truth.
It is expected tint there will be some
surprising figures when the report for
Ohio is completed. Some facts are al
ready known. For instance, the Oh"o
State board of equalization shows that the
appraised value of farm Imds in that
State has decreased 98,000,000 in ten
years. Aud yet the national census re
port shows that during the past ten years
the wealth of Ohio increased $243,000,
000. Do you see anything in this? Do
you see that while the State has grown
$2 13,0')0,000 richer the farmers of the same
St:te have grown $98 000,000 poorer?
Can you explain 'this curious piece of bu
sines?
WASHINGTON NOTES.
Mr. Peffer, of Kansas, introduced an
other of his characteristic bills to auth
orize the Sccre ary of the Treasury to ex
change Treasury notes at par for all out
standing United States bonds.
Mr. Oates, of Alabama, (by request)
has introduced in the House a bill to h
suc $1,000,000 to each of the Congress onal
districts of the' country for the purpose
of enlarging the national banking system.
The Washington Post calls this money
by the bushel."
The "Alliance member'' referred to in
the opening line of Representative Wil

speech, was Hou. W. A. McKcighm,
under the nde, spoke only five minute;
and Eastern Democrats objected to con
tinuation of his remarks in the Record;
but he created a most favorable ( impres
sion . His voice w:s clear, and his atti
tude strikingly dignified.
Sena' or Peffer has a kind heart be
neath his flowing whiskers, lie happen

of the Senate when his eyes caught sight
of a newsboy who was stumbling head
long, having been ups t by a gustof
wiud. The Senator picked up the little
fellow and then helped him to recover
bis scattered papers. Hither and thither
be scurried with great activity over the
north side of the wide piaza, gathering
up the papers one 1 fv one, while the wind
took the most unwarrantable liberty with
his beloved-whiskers. Iu a few minutes
.the newsboy's te.irs were dried aud all
his papers collet ted, and as the Senator's
tall figure disappeared down the border
ed path the newsboy was heard to mutter
gleefully, "Fo' . de Lod, but did'nt the

THE BIGGER THE CHOP THK I.'S? MONKY
The farmc s of the United States ic

1,000,000 acres more oats th u 188:', and
12,000,000 more bushels raised, but to
the farmers $26,000,000 less w as realized.
An increase in acreage every year, but a
decrease in the ammnt realized on the

THE "RICH" FAItMEn.
A cartain capitalistic newspaper, aftei
long and diligent search, has heard of a
farmer who is worth $")00 000. It doesn't
.give his name or address, but it has
heard of him, and, therefore, concludes
that the remaining farmers of the United
States have no cause of complaint, "in
the couutry in which they are rapidly
growing rich." In an adjoining column it
publishes this paragraph:
Cornelius Vanderbilt has beccme dis
satisfied with his palatial residence on
Fifth avenue, New York, aud will build
a new one at a cost of $?,f 00,000. This
Ealace is to be encted on Fifth avenue,
etween Fifty-seventh and Fifty-eigth
streets, and will be the most magnficent
in the city. It is said that the ball-room
and private theatre of the new house will
be large enough to accommodate the en
tire four hundred.
Now, if the farmers of this country
ought to be satisfied because one of their
number has gained $500,000, and if
that fact . proves the prosperity of all
farmers, ought not the people who are
not farmers to be more than satisfied be
cause 31,000 of them have become mil
lionaires? Certainly thenon farmers must
be more prosperous than farmers, accord
ing to that argument; therefore, there is
no poverty in America; no cause of com
plaint, ththungry aud rajrged are mis
taken, there are millionaires amoug us,
therefore we are all prosperous, et.c. Is
that what our opponents call argument f .
COLUMBUS DAY, OCTOBER 12TH.
Entire Country Asked to Participate
in the Recognition of This
400th Anniversary of
America's Dis
covery. t
Chicago, III. President Bonny of
the World's Congress Aux diary of the
Columbian Exposition, has issued an ad
dress regarding the celebration of Dis
covery Day, October 12.
That date the four hundteth anniver
sary of the.Discovery of America is to
be celebrated in Chicago by the dedica
tion of the Exposition grounds.
The Congress asks that the whole con
tinent participate in tv: recognition of
the day.
The Address says that the day of Find
ing America should be celebrated every
where in America, and makes the further
suggestion that this universal Ccle ration
be systematic, pervnded as far as possi
ble by a single idea of leading national
significance. ,
The Address accordingly proposes that
the most representative institution the
Public School be everywhere the centre
pf the local ce'ebratiou.'
The Schools of the United" States are
requested to celebrate the day in their
various localities, and to make this pos
sible the World's Congress invi'es the co
operation of educators and teachers
throughout the nation.
The Presi is asksd to enlist itself to
make a systematic Celebration general.
The Address suggests that at least one
feature of the exercises be identical in
both Exposition dedication and local
Celebrations.
President Bonncy and the national
body of Superintendents of Education
have jointly appointed the following
named Executive Committee to promote
the celebration and prepare a uniform
program for use in all localities:
Francis Bellamy, of the Youth's Com
panion, Boston, Chairman, and the following-named
State Superintendents of
Education : J. W. Dickinson, Massa
chusetts; T. B. StoekweU, Rhode Island;
W. R. Garrett, Tennessee; W. C. Hewitt,
Michigan.
'Ibis Committee will also, through
State Superintendents ot Education, so
licit the Governors of the States to pro
ehvni October 12 a holiday.
An Anti-Tjiquor Victory.
Winston, N. C. The county commis
sioners in session refused to grant liquor
license to Jesse Adams & Co. and Wil-on
& Bowdtn. I'oth firms had secured li
cense from the city bnard of aldermen,
and the refusal on the part of the county
fathers raises quite a stir here, which
promises to equal the great fight in Char
lotte. Adams & Co. have purchased
over $1,0C0 worth of fixtures, besides
renting costly quarters for their business.
It is rumored here that the coun
ty commissioners have decided to
fellow in the footsteps of the Mecklen
burg people by refusing every man who
hereafter makes application to sell ardent
spirits during their administration. The
affair i3 being interestingly -discussed.
Several are advising Adams to
open up regardless of the protest and let
th; matter be decided by the 'supreme
court. One of the county fnthers re
marked to day that if Winston's graded
scheo's could not run without the liquor
license they ought to be shut down.
Election in Rhode Island.
Providencb, R. I. Althou-u the
DemocnPs gained six assemblymen the
Legislature still remains Republican.
The vote for Governor is po close that
here is no election by the people. Thi
insures the election by the Legislature of
a Republican Governor and all other
State officers, and the re election of Sena

crnor, polled 27,464; Warden (Demo
crat), 25,38"); Gilbert (Prohibitionist),
1,587; Burton (People's candidate), 188
and 75 scattering. These figures show a
plurality of 2,071) for Brown nnd a ma
jority of 220 for Bull and Utter, Repub
licans candidates for Lieutenant-Governor
and Secretary of Stidc are also elected
ly small majorities, but there is no elec
tion for Attorney -Oe eral and Treasurer.
The cities of Providence, Newport and
Woonsocket went Dem cratic on'th?

show a good Republican majority in both
ranches already, with between 15 and
20 vacancies yet be filled.
Sensation in Columbia.
Colombia, S. C. When the Grand
Opera Company, while playing a week's
engagement here fiuished their rehearsal
Thomas II. Pcrzc, the tenor, requested
the folks to remain on the stage for a few
minutes. Mr. Pcrzc went into the green
room and came back with Miss Edith
Mason, the prima donna, leaning on his
arm, and in roduced her to the company
as his wife. The singers were "paralyz
ed," so to speak. Mbs Mason was equal
ly surprised bv her husband's action. He
didn't inform her that he was to"give the
marriage away," as they had determined
not to tell for several mouths. Nevertheless
she received the congratulations of her
associates with becoming pride and dig
nity. The couple were married last Wednes
day afternoon, at Trinity church, by Rev.
Dr. Ellisou Captrs, no one being present
except the contracting parties and the
officiating minister.
Encampment at Wrightsville.
Raleigh, N. C Governor Holland
hissfaff returned from Wi mington, hav
iug inspected the encampment grounds
at Wrightsville. It is not yet decided
whether the appropriation is sufficiently
large to meet the expense of the encamp
ment. If it is held it will certainly be at
Wrightsville, and the First and Second
Regiments will encamp from July 21 to
29 inclusive, and the Third and Fourth
Regiments from August 4 to 12 inclu
sive. It is quite probable that the en
campraent will be held on the permanent
grounds.

19. THEY PLAYED LEAP FROG.
The Rev Dr. Parkhurst's Experiences
In His Crusade Against Vice.
New York City. Some of the expe
riences that the Rev. Dr. Parkhurst has
had to underg in the vigorous fight
which he is ma'iing against vice and
cr.me and the places aud people that en
courage them were rcfcalcd by the testi
mony given by the reverend gentle
man in the disposses proceedings
brought against Hattie Adams, who, it
is claimed, keeps a house of ill repute.
Mr. Parkhurst testified that on the night
of Match 11, Agcut Chas. Gardner, John
Erving, a clerk employed on Wall street,
and himself had gone to the house in
question. When the party entered the
room they found a number of young girls
there. Beer was ordered, of which cv
eryboly present took. Then either Mr.
Erving or Mr. Gardner said that if anv
of the girls had auytuing to do they had
better do it. The cm-can dance was de
cided upon, and live of the girls were
selected for the performance '1 he . girte
disrobed in another room and danceJ
while perfectly naked. After the
"circus" more beer was had, and then $3
was paid by them f. r each girl dancing.
The reverend gentleman admitted that
Mr. Erving danced wirh one of the nak
ed women, and that Agent Garduer play
ed leap frog with them .
Messrs Erving and Gardner also tes
tified, their evidence being in most res
pects similar to that given by Dr. Park
hurst. Mr. Gardner, when asked what part he
played in the game of leap frog, replied :
"I was the frog."
The defense moved to dismiss the case,
but the motion was denied, and an ad
journment was taken.

WILL M'ENERY MEN BOLT ?
Electoral Commission Methods
Charged in Louisiana's Count.
New Obleans, La. The Democracy
of Louisiana is split again, and this time
worse than ever. The compromise by
which it was sought to unite the two
Democratic factious, each of which had
a full State ticket in the field, headed by
McEnery and Foster respectively, pro
vided for a general Democratic prima y
on March 22. Anticipating trouble over
the count at this elec ion, n special com
mittee of seven was created to act like
the famous Electoral Commission of 1876.
It consisted of three men of each faction,
the seventh man being the Hon. John
Young, who was regarded as thoroughly
conservative and impartial. He had fav
ored Foster for Governor, but had not
been an extreme "partisan. He had been
the law partner of McEnery, and was
thought to be one of the men in Louisia
na able to act neutrally and without pre
judice iu this cace.
More than 90,000 votes were polled, a
larger number than the the Democracy
has received in any election in Louisiana
except one. The first returns showed a
good majority for McEnery, and the re
su t was accepted by the Foster people.
Later returns rtduced Mc Entry's majori
ty to 1,723. Then the FosKr people set
up the plea that some of the boxes in
New Orleans had been stuffed. Ever
since the election the committee has been
engaged in investigating the returns.
Several irregularities and frauds were tin
etrthed iu the parish of Sabine in f ivor
of Foster, and in New Orleans in favor of
McEnery. In Sabine the committee set
the matter right by throwing, out the
fraudulent votes, but when it came to
Kew Orleans the Foster people insisted
that the whole precinct where fraud oc
curred should be thrown ou.
For the last three days this question
ha been argued before the committee
When it reached a vote the committee
followed in tie footsteps ef the Electoral
Commission. Mr Young, the odd man,
voted with his faction, and by a vote of
4 to 3 it decided to throw out the entire
First precinct of the Sixth ward, which
gave McEnery 750 majority. As soon as
the vote was auuunced the three McEn
ery members of the committee, declaring
it was obviously intended to couut Mc
Euery out, left the room, thus bringing
the sess'on to a close, and starting a new
split in the party. There -were five other
precincts yet to be passed on, which
it is believed, would be thrown
out, riving Foster a majority of 400, as
against McEnery's majority on the face
of th ; .icturns of 1,728.
Th j precinct in the Sixth ward war
thrown out on the ground that the ballos
was not a secret one, and that the Fo-.tet
Commissioners were not allowed to ex
amine voters, but no frauds were shown.
It is difficult to determine 'jet what will
be the exact result of the split. A num
ber of McEnery 's supporters think that
the decision of the lommission should
be accepted as a ruling of a court, right
or wrong, but a majority of them are un
wi ling to do so and favc. a bolt, and the
chances are that both Democratic tickets
will remain in the field amd elect Leon
ard, Republican, as Governor. N. Y.Sun

CHARLOTTE TRAGEDIES.
A Policeman Dead From a Burglar's
Bullet.
Five of the Seven Jail Breakers
Brought Back Alive, One Dead,
and Boyd,, the "Wrecker.
Still at Large.
Exciting time they have had at Char-r
lotte, N. C , for a week. Following
close upon the heels of the jail delivery,
a policeman was shot in the dead of
night, while attempting to arrest a negro,
who was stealing a sack of flour.
This was Friday night, the thief mak
ing his escape minus the flour, while
friends bore Policeman James Moran to
his home. Here he lingered in pain and
suffering until 12:30 o'clock Monday
morning, when he died.
Mora i was a i ntive of Ireland,
moving to this country in 1857, and was
CO of years 8g', having been an
efScient and popular member of the
Charlotte police force for three years,
serving on Serrcat Orr's squad.
The Board of Aldermen by mofon of
Alderman Springs, voted uuanimouly to
defray all the funeral expenses.' The
following resolution wa a'so passed.
Whereas, James Moran, one of the reg
ular policemen of this city, while in the
discharge of his duty as policeman, was
shot and killed by a party resisting ar
rest, it is duly resolved by the Board
of Aldermen,
"That the treasurer be directed to pay
all dues to the Mutual Building & Loan
Association due from said James Moran,
in " payment of his lot in said city, until
the said mortgage shall have been fully
satisfied, thus relieving the property
from embarrassment, and securing a
home to the family of a faithful police
man." Alderman Clarkson moved that the
Board and police force atteud the funeral
of Poli -"emau Moran in a body, which
was unanimously agreed to.
The funeral services were conducted
Tuesday morning fr.ma St. Peters Catho
lic church Mass ws, s-id by Rev.
Father Francis and requiem mass was
sung. The members of the police force
acted as pall bearers. Every honor
and respect was paid the faithful officer.
THE MCKDERER.
The negro who fired the shot that kill
ed Policeman Moran, is quite a boy, not
in appearance over 16 years old. He is
very black, and about average height.
Hcgivts his name : 8 Nelson Murdock.
aud was captured in Chester by J. C.
Chief of Police Morgan
He is now lodged in jail at Charlotte,
and confesses that he shot Mr. Moran,
describing the locality where the shoot
ing took place. The flour was taken
from E. F. Young & Co. The other ne
gro who was with him gave him the pis
tol, and told him if any policemai at
tempted to arrest them he (the other
negro) would take off the goods, and for
Murdock to shoot him. Murdock was
under the impression that he shot Officer
Moran in the lower part of the abdomen.
He had his pistol in his coat pocket, and
fired as he spoke to the officer. He then
ran. The nexc morning his aunt, who
lives near the city, bought him a ticket
to Chester, and he took the train at the
seven-mile siding. He remained hid in
tbe woods near Chester until Monday
when he ventured into town and wa?
caught.

Albany, N. Y. Journal, March 12th.
Saratoga, March It th. For some time
past there have been reports here and else
where in Saratoga County of a most remark
able indeed, so remark le as to be miracu
lous cure of a most severe case of locomotor
ataxia, or creeping paralysis, simply by the
use of a popular remedy known as ' -Fink
Pills for Pale People,' prepared and put up
by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company,
Morristown, N. Y., and Brockville, Ont.
Tbe story was to tbe effect that Mr. Chas.
A. Quant, of Gal way, who for the last six
or eight years has been a great sufferer from
creeping paralysis anil its attendant ills, and
who bad become utterly powerless of all
self-help, had, by the use of a few boxes of
the Pink Pills for Pale People, been so fully
restored to health as to be able to walk
about the street without the aid of crutches.
The fame of this wonderful, miraculous cure
was so great that the Evening Journal re
porter thought it worth his while to go to
Oalway to call on Mr. Quant, to learn from
his lips, and from the observation and testi
mony of his neighbors, i? his alleged cure
was a fact or only an unfounded rumor.
An 1 eo he drove to Galway and spent a day
and a night there in visiting Mr. Quant,
getting his story and interviewing his
neighbors and fellow-townsmen. It may be
proper to say that Galway is a pretty little
village of about 400 people, delightfully
located near the centre of the town
of Galway, in Saratoga County, and
about 17 miles from Saratoga Springs.
Upon inquiry the residence of Mr.
Charles A. Quant was easily found, for
everybody seemed to know him, speak well of
him, and to be overflowing with surprise and
satisfaction at his wonderful cure and restor
ation to the activities of enterprising citi
zenship, for Mr. Quant was born in Galway
and had spent most of his life there. Mr.
Quant was founu at his pretty home, on a
? lea Bant street nearly opposite the academy,
n response to a knock at the door it was
o. ened by a man who, in reply to an inquiry
if Mr. Quant lived there and was at home,
said: "I am Mr. Quant, Will you come inf
After a little general and preliminary conver
sation, and after he had been apprised of the
object for which the Journal reporter had
called upon him, he, at request, told the
story of himself and o his sickness and
terrible sufferings, and of the ineffectual
treatmeut he had ha1, and of his final cure
by the use of Dr. Williams's Piok Pills for
Pale People, and cheerfully gave assent to
its rise for publication He saids "My name
is Charles A. Quant. I am 37 years old. I
was born in the village of Galway. and, ex
cepting while traveling on business and a
little While in Amsterdam, have spent my
whole life here. My wite is a native of
Ontario. Up to about eight years ago I had
never been sick and was then In perfect
health. I was fully six feet tall, weighed
180 pounds and was very strong. For twelve
years I was a traveling salesman for a piano
and organ company and had to do, or at least
did do, a great deal of heavy lifting, got my
meals very irregularly and slept in enough
."spare beds' in country houses to freeze any
ordinary mantodeath,or at least give him the
rheumatism. About eight years ago I began
to feel distressed in my stomach and con
sulted several doctors about it. They all
said it was dyspepsia, and for dyspepsia I
was treated by various doctors in different
: places, and took all the patent medicines I
could hear of that claimed to be a cure for
dyspepsia. But I continued to grow grad
ually worse for four years. Then I began
to have pain in my back and legs and became
conscious that my legs were getting weak
and my step unsteady, and then I staggered
when 1 walked. Having received no benefit
from the use of patent medicines, and feeling
that I was constantly growing worse, I then.
Upon advice, began the use ot electric belts,
1 pads and all the many different kinds of
electric appliances I could hear of, and spent
hundreds of dollars for them, but they did
me no good (Here Mr. Quant showed the
Journal reporter an electric suit of under
wear for which he paid $124.) In the fall of
1888 the doctors advised a change of climate,
so I went to Atlanta, Ga., and acted as agent
for the Estey Organ Company. While there
1 took a thorough electric treatment, but it
only seemed to aggravate my disease, and
the only relief I could get from the sharp
and distressing paius was to take mor
phine. The pain was so intense at times
that it seemed as though I could not stand
it, and I almost longed for death as the only
certain relief. In September of 1888 my
legs gave out entirely and my left eye was
drawn to one side, so that I had
double . sight and was dizzy. My
trouble so affected my whole nervous system
that 1 had to give up business. Then I re
turned to Hew York and went to the Roose
velt hospital, where for four months I was
treated by specialists and they pronounced
my case locomotor ataxia and incurable.
Alter 1 had been under treatment by Prof.
Starr and Dr. Ware for four months, they
told me they had done all they could for me.
Then 1 went to the New York hospital or
Fifteenth street, where, upon examination,
thev said! was incurable and would not take
me'in. At the Presbyterian hospital they
examined me and told me the same thing.
In March, IS!) , I was taken to St. Peter's
hospital in Albany, where Prof. H. H. Hun
frankly told my wife my case was hopeless;
that he could do nothing for me and that
she had better take me back home and save
tnymoney. Out I wanted to make a trial
of Prof. Hun's famoui skill and I remains 3
under his treatment for nine week, but se
cured no benefit. All this time I had been
growing worse. I had become entirely
paralyzed from my waist down and bad
partly lost control of my hand?. Th9 pain
was terrible; my legs felt as though they
were freezing and my stomach would not re
tain food, and I fell away to 120 pounds.
In the Albany hospital they put 17 big
burns on my back one day with red hot
irons, and after a few days they put li
more burns on and treated rae with elec
tricity, but I got worse rather than better'
lost control of my bowels and water, and
upon advice of the doctor, who said there
was no hope for me, I was brought home,
where it was thought that death would soon
come to relieve me of my suffering?. Last
September, while in this helpless and suffer
ing condition, a friend of mine In Hamilton,
Ont.. called my attention to the statement
of one John Marshal', whose case had been
similar to xiy own, and who had been cured
by the use of Dr. Williams's fink Pills for
Pale People.
"In this case Mr. Msraball.whoisa promt"
nent member of the Koyal Templars of
Temperance, had after four years of con
stant treatment by the most eminent Cana
dian physicians been pronounced incurable,
and was paid the $1000 total disability claim
allowed by the order in such cases. Som
months after Mr. Marshall began a course of
treatment with Dr. Williams's Pink Pills,
and after taking some 15 boxes was fully re
stored to health.
"I thought I would try them, and my wife
sent for two boxes of the pills and 1 took
them according to the directions given on
the wrapper on each box. For the first few
days tbe cold baths were pretty severe, as I
was so very weak, but I continued to follow
instructions as to taking tbe pills and treat
ment, and even before I had used up th
two boxes of pills 1 began to feel beneficial
effects from them. My pains were not so
bad; I felt wanner; my bead felt better;
my food began to relish and agree with me;
1 could straighten up; the feelinj began to
come back into tny limbs; I began to
be able to get about on crutches; my ey
came back again as good as ever, and now,
after tbe use of eight boxes of the pills at a
cost of only $4.00 see ! I can, with the help
of a cane only, walk all about the house ana

walk down town. My stomach trouble is

Quant and his so miraculous cure by tho use
of Dr. Williams's Pink Pills for Pale People,
are well known, were pleased to have the'
opportunity of bearing testimony to the high'
character of Mr. Quant, and of . verifying
the story of his recovery from the terrible;
affliction from which he had for so long aJ
time been a sufferer. j
Truly, the duty of the physician is nob j
to save life, but to heal disease. j
The remarkable result from the use of Dr. j
Williams's Pmk Pills in the case of Mr.
Quant, induced the reporter to make further'
inquiries concerning them, and he ascer-j
tained that they are nst a patent medicine
in the sense in which that term is generally j
used, but a highly scientific preparation, tba j
result of years of study and careful experi
ment. They hv no rival-as a . blood
builder and nerve restorer and have met
with unparalleled success in the treatment
of such diseases asparalysls, rheumatism,
sciatica, St. Vitus' s dance, palpitation of the!
hearty that tired feeling which affects so!
many, and all diseases depending upon a
watery condition of the blood or shattered,: ,
nerves. ! 1
Dr. Williams's Pink Pills are also a specific ,
for trouble peculiar to females, such as sup-
pressions, irregularities, and all forms of j
weakness. They build up the blood and re- i
store the glow of health to pale or sallow
cheeks. In the case of men they affect a
radical cure in all cases arising from mental j
worry, overwork, or excesses of whatever
nature. 1
On further inquiry the writer found that
these pills are manufacture! by The Dr.
Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Out.,
and Morris town, N. Y., and are sold in
boxes (never in bulk by the hundred), at 50
cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50, and may;
be had of all druggists or direct by mail!
from Dr. Williams Medicine Co., fromi
either address. The price at which these j
pills are sold makes a course of treatment
comparatively inexpensive as compared wVth'
other remedies, or medical treatment.
License Granted in Charlotte.
The County Commissioners of Meck
lenburg county, N. C, ia scssiou at Char
lotte last Tuesday, granted license to sell
whiskey after steadily refusing it to mauy
applicants for fourmonths, during which
time all the bars in the Queen City were
closed. T. J. Wilson was the first suc
cessful applicant, followed by J. C.
Springs and JocLindy, who have already
opened up their bars.
When Mr. Wilson iirst applied for li
cense to sell whiskey, he was a member
of the Tryon street Methodist church.
On the first Sunday after he had made
application he was read out in church.
As he still persisted in his application
for license, he was Monday night expell
ed from church. . .
This is believed to be the first time on
record that Capt. Vail has voted for li
cense. Mr. Kirkpatrick could not be
persuaded to make the vote unanimous.
In casting his vote, Esquire Hilton made
a statement to the effect that hu stood
just as he did on the first Monday in last
December. He could not vote for any
man who did not come up to the require
ments of the law, but had always eaid
that if evrr such a man applied he would
vote for him. In Mr. Wilson he found
such a man, therefore he voted to grant
license. ,
. Amendment to Bill Silver.
Washington, D.C. Senate Mr.
Morgan offered an important amendment
to his silver resolutions, which he asked
should be laid Over to be printed and it
was so ordered.
