Appears In a Case Before the Rail road Commission Today. Senator John W. Daniel was at the Benbow last night on his way to Ral eigh where he appears today in a case before the Railroad Commission. The Senator is a delightful talker when he is in the humor, and the conversation turning on the colleagues he has known in the Senate, he contrasted the two noble old war horses, Senator Isham G. Harris, of Tennessee and Senator Zebulon B. Vance, of North Carolina, the two greatest men per haps, that either state has had in the Senate. The SenatoB said that Vance and Harris were totally! different types. Harris was haughty, gruff, imperious- almost overbearing in his manner: a man bent on having his own way and one who did not brook opposition very gracefully; and yet of such sterling worth that he was ad mired even by his enemies. Vance, on the other hand, was the same genial, witty, magnetic Vance in the senate, whose name has become a household word among the common oeorjle of this state. No man.' the mt mt Senator said, (his face lighting up as he recalled the great North Caro linian ) could know Vance without lov ing him. He agreed that if Vance were alive today, the re-united Democracy would follow his lead to victory in this state. The Senator said in regard to the Virginia campaign, that the Republicans would, in his opinion, put a nominee in the field for gover nor, but he regarded it as improbable that the Populists, would endorse him, or that a Republican governor could be elected in the Old Dominion, even with the aid of the Populist party. COME ALONG, GREENSBORO. You Shall be Royally Received and Well "Entertained." It will be one of the happiest days of Charlotte's existence when the Greens boro football team comes this way. "She may kick the life out of us, but we will have the points on her," said a Charlotte footballist this morning o a News reporter. "We are making no great bluster, but you can say through the News that Charlotte will be ready in a short while to meet all comers' said Mr. John Schenck to a reporter this morn ing. The boys will in a few days get to gether. They are now awaiting the arrival of Mr. George Stephens, who is expected most any day. Then the club will be formed. The News learns that the personnel of the team this year will be consider ably changed from last- season. In each instance the boys claim that it will be materially strengthened. If this be the case, Charlotte will bank on her team winning more scalps" than ever before. The News would respectfully suggest to Mr. Clem Wright, of the Greens boro team, that he had better place himself on "guard duty," and utilize all spare moments in kicking the "pig skin" from now until that day. Char lotte News. We would suggest to that animated piece of India rubber, Q-back Schenck, that he will have to "rar' back on his dew-claws" endurin' of the aforesaid game. A DECISION FROfl JUDGE ADAMS. Commissioners May be Compelled to Grant Liquor License. The application for a mandamus against the Commissioners of Chatham county to compel them to issue a li cense to A. P. Terry to retail spiritu ous liquors at Pittsboro, was heard yesetrday before Judge Adams. The judge issued a mandamus commanding the Commissioners to pass upon the petition of Mr. Terry and ascertain if the facts required by the statute exist ed, and if so to issue the license. He holds that the commissioners of a county under the act of 1897 have not an arbitrary power to refuse to grant all applications, but do possess a qual ified or leeral discretion only in such matters.
