Acting ;Solicitoi Guthrie replied and reviewed the situation and an nounced the determination pf the people to have the law; enforced. Judge Bynum said j that! lie was determined that the selling of whis key in Durham during the existence of the local option law should be stopped and that he would not con sent to suspension. of judgment, but that if the parties would plead guilty that he would continue the prayer for judgment, with the distinct un derstanding that the parties should appear ati each term of court until June, 1S90, and pay all costs, and show that they had not violated the law and that if they do violate it they shall be sentenced-to pay a fine $500 and be sent to the county work house for twelve months. 1 A similar course is to be pursued with all arraigned tor this crime at this term of the court. The bonds of the above named oflenders was fixed at $500 . each. j The Judge said that under the ex isting circumstances he thought that this was the best step to take in or der to secure enforcement of the law in tne iuture,. inis course was as- sented to by the counsel andj such an order was made. The Judge- said that He would take upon himself the responsibility of this proceeding and intimated in very plain termsj that if the offenders are caught again they need not expect further len iency at his hands. ' There is much disappointment in the community at the turn affairs have taken. We think wq do not exaggerate when wTe say that a large majority of our law abiding citizens are of the; opinion that the bold and persistent violators of the law de serve punishment for their past of fenses and that the law would have been made more effective thereby. Others, however, think that the heavy penalty, hanging over j the guilty ones will deter them from fu ture .lawlessness. We will not dis cuss the lhatter further than to sav while we j respect the judgment of the court we fear a mistake lias been made. !i i But let us all take the matter j as it is and hope and work for the best results; Let not our ardor in ihe cause of law and order abate one iota. Let us show that this move ment was not the spontaneous out burst of moiiientarv excitement, but that it is; the cool and firm work of law-abiding citizens, .who meant ex actly what they said when they re solved that the illegal traflic in liquor mitit and .soZZ cease.

Which was right ? Public-Spirited Merchants. The Charlotte merchants are to be commended for the public spirit that they have shown by their co-operation with the,publisher of the Chron icle in his efforts to give Charlotte a first-class daily newspaper. A live, progressive paper is a benefit to, any town and the advantage is almost invariably greater to the community at large than it is to the proprietor oi the paper, but. many communities are either blind to this fact or prefer that the proprietor shall do the sow ing and the cultivation arid. they be permitted to enter the .held at bar vest time and reap the crop. In appearing in its new dress, a tew days ago, the Chronicle says : 'This handsome new dress is due to the liberality of Charlotte mer chants. . - ' -"Four months ago, when the pres ent Publishing Company took charge of the paper it was discovered that the price of advertising had run down below the rates of first-class weekly papers. When this state of affairs was made known to the mer chants, a number of them agreed to a raise of fully one hundred per cent w hilst others equally generous, said that though they could anordno in crease of expense thev would sladlv reduce their space one-half, which was nearly equivalent to a raise of one hundred per cent in price. "This generous- and enterprising spirit on the part of many of the merchants ot Charlotte gave the new management courage that has known no 1 lagging from that dav to this.! "Without the liberal enterprise of the business men of Charlotte, it would not be possible to have such a paper here as to-day's Chronule" Honors to Durham, In the appointment of his staff, Governor Fowle conferred honors upon two of our esteemed citizens by re-appointing Col.
