Raleigh, March 3 —The M|iitphy
“drug store" whlsiky MU, after twice
toeing- approved by House Judiciary
Committee No. 1, now is back Or the
calendar of the lower branch of the
‘Oen*e*i'<aJ Asisemlhlyi,, w£jth indteajttionjs
that it will come up for a vote Within
the next few The bill was' re
port'ed favorably by the committee
some time ago, l>uft its author per
mitted it to go back to the committee
for opponents 1(0 be heanxl on the
measure.
The committee heard representa
tives of the pharmiaoeuticail and naedh
ical professions oppose the measure,
and then voted 8 to 6 to report it
favorably. However, df was evident
that both that pharmacists and the
doctors are divided 1 on the question,
and that, there is much difference of
opinion as to whether passage- of tlhe
drug store wthlisky bill would be a
temptation to the doctors or result
in an influx of “Irresponsible drug
gists’' into the State. •
Doctors Oppose
Dr. John B. Wlrigbt, former pres
ident. of the State Medical Society,
spoke against the bin, declaring thh.
it would convert dimg stores into d>is
pexvsar-es and would also result in a
great pressure being brought upon
physicians to prescribe whisky which,
under the guise of medicine, would
be consumed as a (beverage.
A. C. Ceoii, president of the North
Carolina Pharmaceutical Association,
declared that instead of hellping the
druggists, the passage of the bill
Would actually work a tyardts-hip on
them in that iii woilfld force them to
compete with “irresponsible drag 4
gists,” who would cut the puces of
other products In order to attract a
big whisky trade. There would be
no way for the pharmaceutical- board
to check it his influx of druggists, he
said, as it lia? no way of barring
druggists who cam .siland the state ex
amination.
Object To Tax
The pharamoLtl's also object to th
feature of the Murphy bill wMe-h re
quires those drug stores by
the g>overnment ito sell whiisky to pay
a privilege tax of S2OO. The ddruggisits
claim they wouM have to seW 25 gal
lons of allcohol to pay (this tax. They
claim the government's selection of
the drug prores which would sell
wliisky, would not prevent unfair
from lan “unforltunafte”
type of druggist because they believe
that any drug store wanting to sell
whisky Would be pmr.llttted to sell It.
The Murphy bill permitting the
drug stores to sell prescription whlls*-
ky is tire fir .4 of thtfs session’s Mlquor
hi 11k to got to the flood- of eilher
house. Other) b'.Qflis, proposing out
right repeal of the state’s prohibition
law, the legalized sale of whies and
beer, and submission of the wine and
beer question to the vote of the peo
ple, are now being studied by a House
judiciary sub-comimlilttee.
Working on Ileferoidnm
This sub'-committee is also work
ing on a biM to provide for submission
of the proh'iibj'ion question to a State
convention in line with the require
ments of the Blaine repeal resolution,
and It is noi regarded as likely here j
htat any of these bills WOT come ou‘
of the committee until a definite
course is decided on the question of
a state convention.
North Carolina's cpnstitultion stip
ulates thsfr a convention cannot ibC
called unless the cal Tis approved by
the voters in a general election. Even
many of the drys are now agreed that
the whisky question should be decid
ed as quickly as posable, and the wet
bloc is trying to devise fbme method
of gctlting around waiting for tjbo
next general election to settl'd the
mailer o>f a corvention.
There is yet some hope that some
special machinery for a convention
nay ha pr vld,,J by Congress, or that
fjrcne other scheme may be found of
ho’d’ng a convention at a reasonably
early date. In view of the fact that
a convention, whether it toe held nex*
month or next year, is now inevitable,

As Jesus returned across the Sea of Galilee to
Capernaum, he was met by a leader of the local
congregation named Jairus. who fell down on his
knees before Jesus asking him to come quickly
to lav his hands bn his little daughter, who was
at the point of death.

Mark 5:21-43, the Golden Text being
Psalm 126:3, “Jehovah hath done
great things for us, whereof we are
glad ”) .
By DR. ALVIN E. BELL.
That Golden Text might well have
4>een sung as an anthem by those two
families of Capernann that day of our
lesson; Jairus, holding his little 12-
year old' hild in his bosom and prais
ing God for 12 years of sunshine saved
to him dnd his family by the Mas
ter bringing the little girl back to
life; the woman who clutched the hem
of his garment and felt 12 yearn of
darkness turned into glorious sun
shine, singing with them: “Jehovah
hath done great things for us, where
of we are glad.”
12 Years of Sunshine Saved.
“My little daughter is at the point
'cf death: I pray thee, that thou come
and lay thy hands on her, that she
may be made whole, and live.” Here
is anguished parental love crying from
the depths to the one who could help
“when other helpers fail and comforts
flee.”
Luke tells us this was Ja ! rus’ only
daughter and ,thg.t she *sas 12 years
old. Twelve sbnshine seemed
abtirut to efid fin
of the music of 'childish glee were
about to be flushed in silence. Imme
diately Jesds adqbjnpanied the broken
hearted father, making the best time
they could as “a great multitude fol
lowed him, and they thronged him.”
• Then there came an interruption
which must have seemed like an age
*0 the anguished father as Jesus is
stopped, not so much by feeling sorhe
-one clutching at the hem of his gar-
as by the consciousness “that
Power had gone forth from him,” and
in tlijs delay of divine love we are

12 years of Darkness Made Light.
“And a woman which had an issue

had spent all that she had, and was
nothing bettered but rather grew
worse, having heard the things con
cerning Jesus, came in the crowd be
h!nd and touched the border of his
garment. For she said, ‘lf I touch but
his garments, I shall be made whole’.”
How “many things she had suffer
ed” we eftu understand when we real
ize that her disease in that day os
tracized her from the joys of home,
it he privileges of society and even the
blessings of religious fellowship. All
these were restored to heir when “shf
fell down before him and told him all
the truth,” and he said unto her.
“Daughter, be of good cheer, thy faith
hath made thee Whole: 40 in peace
and be Whole Os thy plague.”
What a Saviour We have in Jesus!
Whether we come to him publicly as
Jairus did, or secretly, as this woman
did, we shall find him a sweet sensi
tiveness to our need in our sorrow,
sickness or sin. “The healing of his
seamless dress is by our beds of pain;
,'we touch him in life’s throng and
press and we are whole again.”
Not Dead, 'but Sleeping.
Meanwhile there came to Jarius the
message that his little daughter was
dead, and that he should not trouble
the Master further. With a word of
encouragement to the bereaved fa
ther, Jesus led him confidently to the
child’s Side, saying. “The child is not
(}ead but sleepeth.” And then Jesus
demonstrated the truth of his word
and power of his grace by taking the
'child by the hand and saying (if wo
translate his words literally), “Little
Lamb arise.” And with this infinite
tenderness he reminded them that she
needde food.

Raleigh, March 1. —Six hundred and

newspapers have been secured and
properly catalogued during recent
months by the North Carolina His

to the year 1800.
The commission has copies of the
first newspaper* published in New

Halifax, Raleigh and Wilmington, all
prior to 1800- Os unusual interest is
