The Untiring Efforts of the Central Committee and the Loyalty of Our Representatives 'Commended. The time for speech-making being over, the victory won, and all present at the court house last night were evi dently satisfied with the result, there was no exultation or unseemly show of rejoMng. The meeting was called to pass some resolutions, to hear the dispensary law read and to wind up some business affairs connected with the central committee's work. Mr. W. E. Bevill was chosen as chairman and Mr. A. W. McAlister made a few remarks and read the following reso lutions, which were unanimously adopted: Whereas, the contest for the estab lishment of a dispensary in Greens boro has been brought to a successful issue, be it resolved, 1st. That it is the sense of this meeting, that it Is the duty of all good citizens to allay as much as possible any ill feeling that may have been en gendered In the heat of the contest . 2nd. That now that the dispensary has become a municipal institution, it behooves all citizens for the good of publio morals, and for the good name and reputation of our progressive city to give their influence to the success of the dispensary and to frown upon any attempt to hinder its successful workings, to degrade it or to bring it into disrepute. 3rd. That all our citizens should forget past differences of opinion, and should remember that we are all friends and neighbors, and have a common interest in the advancement of the city's progress, and that we6hould exert our energies and influence to the upbuilding of the city. Mr. R. W. Brooks then offered the following resolution, which was also unanimously adopted: "Be it resolved, that we extend our thanks to our senator and representa tives in the general assembly for their loyal support in securing the passage of the dispensary bill, and that we commend them for the equitable plan which they adopted for ascertaining the will of the white voters of Greens boro; and we also desire to express our appreciation of the assistance given by senators and representatives from other counties in making the dis pensary bill a law." The following paper was read by Mr. C. H. Dorsett, and unanimously adopted: "Resolved that it is the sense of this meeting that special recognition is due the Greensboro Evening Telegram for its staunch advocacy of the dispensary and the very valuable service rendered; and that we are also grateful to the Daily Record for the generous use we have been allowed to make of its columns." The committee appointed to audit the accounts of the central committee made a report, to which they appended the following paragraph, which was heartily concurred in by the meeting: "We also find that the central com mittee have borne all their individual expenses themselves in their several trips to Raleigh, StQ. In view of the time and attention these gentlemen have devoted to this matter we think and would recommend that all their expenses be paid; and that they are due the sincere and hearty thanks of all friends of this dispensary move ment for their untiring and efficient efforts." The members of the central commit tee being present generously and un selfishly declined to accept the pro visions of the above recommendation so far as it relates to their expenses. Hon. A. M. Scales read the dispen sary law as passed, and said when he reached that part of the bill provid ing for "the mile limit," that he re- greted to say anything that might have the appearance of being controver sial, but he felt constrained to take this opportunity to positively deny the statement which has been circulated on the streets within the last few days to the effect that "the mile limit" was secured by bad faith and that there was ao agreement with the opposition in reference to it. He recited the col loquy before the joint legislative com mittee between members of the dis- For aale by Crutchfleld Hardware Co. "ffSL f"' S. Elm St.. Op. Water Tower. Phone 105.

Interview with Senator Wilson it was arranged upon certain conditions not to disturb "the mile limit" clause in the bill. He called attention to the fact that at the last two legislative hearings, the opposition had claimed that they had not been consulted and had had no part in what had been done, and contrasted this with the re cent trumped up charge of van agree ment with them as to "the mile limit." He stated that the bill as enacted into law was identical with the bill as pub. lished before and as voted upon at the primary with the exception of the sin gle change as to the publicity of the dispensary register, which was made at the earnest solicitation of our sen ator and representatives. He con cluded by saying that the charge of the opposition that there was an agree ment with them of any kind or any bad faith was rediculous and abso lutely unfounded and that none were better aware of this than those who are responsible for it.

A HORRIBLE DEATH. Cyrus Young Instantly Killed By No. 36 Today. Cyrus Young, a colored man 38 years old was killed by number 38 the northbound fast mail on the south ern, which came in at 12:15 o'clock today. When the accident happened Young was walking across the fateful trestle, where the Southern passes over the Atlantic & Yadkin. A train was passing nnder him on the A. & Y., and he was looking down at this. No. 36 was seven minutes late ' and was running at a good speed when it struck Young. He was knocked off the trestle and fell to the ground fully seventy-five feet away, dead. Almost every bone in his body was broken; both legs were snapped just above the ankles and his right side and shoulder oo which he fell, were crushed. His head was also badly bruised. Coroner Turner was summoned and reached the scene about 1 o'clock; he ordered the body removed to the sta tion where an inquest was held. Peter Scercy, colored, was walking a few yards away and saw the train strike Young. He says that neither bell nor whistle gave the alarm, but thinks this is due to the fact that Young was rendered invisi ble by steam from a train on the A. & Y. Both engineer and fireman of 36 were unaware of the accident, and when told, at the station that the train had killed a man, they were sadly surprised. The dead man leaves a wife and several children. His wife says that she is positive he was not drinking, as he had been at home all day. He had started up town and was but a short distance from home when killed. The Local New Prom Our Nelzhbor Briefly Told.
