There are onlj fourteen coun ts where smloona or stills are li tem d. The aalt on eounttea and the dipentiarr fount do not confine the evi'a tf the sal of liquor to their own communities, but ther make it all the more difficult for temperance counties to enforce their laws, ion cannot cootrol whiskey; it dominates what it touches. The uSuence of the whiskey brines in eighteen or twentv counties injures as many more prohibition countits. It is idle to Ulk of borne rule when Salisbury denies tff.vUve prohibition to Iredell aud Cabarrus and Wilmington large ly defeats prohibition in Uuplin and Himpn. htskev cannot be con iiued to the county that licenxs it The eril is s pervasive that the dis pensary in Hiruett hurts lumber l.tnd and the sal n in Forsyth hurt Iavie aud Wilkts.

All of which is true as gospel, and though we thought it unwis? to bring the matter up at this time, and still think so, since it has been decided to leave it to a vote, we are heartily rejoiced that the whole business will be surely w iped out. (iov. .larvis started the bail, lies attorney for the Coast Line railroad, but we can't say that it occurred U him that it might be better for the rate settlement to divert the minds of the legislators with the prohibi tion question. S'nator Simmons thought it unw ise to spring the ques tion now, but snng the tide run ning so strong he jumped for the very front seat in the band wagon Under the circumstances tlov.

Statesville Land mark. And there is old Br'er Fox, Ji Tou, a honing and a whetting hi: anxiety for prohibition, and just we predicted last week, the rate ques tion in a muddle, the Governor" agreement knocked to pieces, and the railroads likely to get higher rates than th' v even aked for. The wav of humbug are positively beaulifi from an artistic standpoint. Since the matter of prohibition was 41. J. l,U.t;oM Of M' special session, the determination of the membe rs to submit it to a vote of the people in August was the wisest thing that could have been done. The bill will, of course, ex- cept such counties as Union, which have their own local regulations that is, while all the State will vote on the question, the result will not effect such counties as this. The special session at Ilileigh is long enough for the gentleman from Pitt to gn in a few bills on the stock law, and some of th g n'l.-men from the east are on the s,, t Mth fish and oyster bills. 1 hose who admire lynching ought to have heard the remarks of Judge Moore on the subj ct yesterday.

Rockefeller occupied his first Sunday morning in Augusta tnn winter in listening to a sermon in the labernacle Baptist church (colored) by Ilev. C. T. Walker, the "black Spurgeon." Walker got out or a sick tied to preach w hen inform ed that Rockefeller would be one of bis congregation. The oil king was accompanied by his physician. Dr Biggar. After the sermon Rockefel ler held a conference with Walker in the latter's study, when he "made a very generous donation to the church.

At tldurado a wicked Missou han went into a drug store and ask ed for a drink. "I'm sick" he said, "and need a drink." "But, my frieDd," said the drug- t,io, juu m uarg ku uuug a puysi cian'a prescription." "No other way?" asked the deject ed Missourian. "No. No prescription, no whis key, and I'm sorry to say that our physician is now in Topeka." "And no possible way to get a drink?" Well, yes," said the druggist" In case of snake-bile we can give whis key to save a man's life." "Do von know where I can find a snake?' gasped the sufferer. "They say Jim Smith aught one in the sorghum patch yesterday." "I'll be back in a minute, said the man, rushing out of the door. About two boars afterward be cam back, exclaiming, "Got it!; Snake bit me! Gimme the whiskey!"

After a Smmy Caacus, tba House Democrat, Agra a Cwnpra mix i Later the Seoata Arm la Caucus U Submit U a Yuu la August. I Ww Mnn I, Sac M CkaHuiw Otomr Aftrr baring been in session for two and ooe-haif hours tonight the Democratic members ot the House of Representative in caucus assembled decided to consider a bill at this spe cial session giving the State absolute prohibition, provided this measure is raUneU by popular Tote at the general election in November. If this election is favorable such a bill will be operative January 1st next The caucus was one of the storm iest ever held in Raleigh. It con vened at 8 o'clock and lasted until almost II o'clock. During the entire time of its sitting a delegation 200 strong from the Anti Saloon League thundered and murmured at the bolt ed doors of the chamber, petitioning a hearing. When such a request was denied by a vote of 41 to 12. and when it looked as if the body would decide to consider only bills relating to the railway rate problem, two of the well known members of the cau cus. Representative Douglas of Wake and Buchanan of Moore, withdrew, declaring that they would have to stand for prohibition at this time and they could not hold themselves bound by the expression of the majority on this moral issue. The Senate Hid not act as the House did and did not refuse to hear the representatives of the Ami -Saloon League. Those who made speeches before that body were Solicitor ( lark- son of Charlotte, James II. Pou of Raleigh. Rev. II. W. Battle of Kin ston. Settle Doekery of Rockingham. 1 . 11. anderford of Salisbury, A. I Ward of Newbern, John Oates of Fayetteville and others. After hear ing these gentlemen, the halls and corridors were cleared aud the Sen ate took up the consideration of the expediency of passing upon a prohi bition measure at this session. After being in session for three hours the Senate by unanimous vote divided to entertain a bill leaving the matter to a vote of the people at the nexi general election. Such action is prae tically the same as that of the House caucus. The action of the Democratic cau cus of the two branches of the Gen eral Assembly in declining even to consider at this special session a bill providing for immediate State pro hibition as urgently recommended oy uovernor uienn in his message yesterday, was one of the prime top ics of conversation in legislative cir cles this morning. That the compn mise agreed upon, namely, to consid er a bill leaving the question to a vote of the people at the next gen eral election, was a wise and discreet move none questioned. The only topic which excited the least decree of interest wasthestand of Governor Glenn on the matter and the attitude if the legislature in the light of his message. He came out strongly for I h enactment of a 8Wfnin nrnhi. bition law effective at once, taking the advanced ground that such an act wcUd be the wisest and best ever passed by any legislative body, and in less than twelve hours after this pronouncement the houses turned it down and referred the settlement to the people. This they did in the face of a stirring ajieech delivered by the Governor himself at a mass meeting of citizens, in which he urged that pressure be brought to bear noon .l.i . i . me legislature to enact a measure which he himself had just recom mended. This was done, too. in the face of large delegations of repre sentative citizens from all sections which filled the lobbies and clamor ed for the enactment of as immedi ate prohibition law. It is safe to say that Governor Glenn was about the most surprised man in the state when he was in formed of this action of the caucus. And there were others who must have wondered how the legislature could have acted as it did in the light of all the influence and recog nized power brought to bear unon it The State's chief executive had de clared most urgently for Stale prohi- oiuon; oenator Simmons had ex pressed the belief that it was both wise and expedient: ex-Governor Jar vis had pronounced like views; as had also Federal Judge J. C. Pritch- ard, Chairman Hugh G. Chatham, former Chairman James II. Pou and other leaders of the party. And this was lurther augmented bv the fact that both houses were themselves overwhelmingly for prohibition. Such an array of talent has seldom been enlisted in the advocacy of any cause. ine action of the caucus at first glance seems incomprehensible. It can be explained only when viewed from the standpoint of the legislators moral principle should be k-ft to a vote of the iople, the court of last appeal, whose decision would be final and imnsibie of contradiction or dispute. The legislature is believed by fair minded men, not members of either branch, to have acted w ith dis cretion and judgment The Gover nors participation in this prohibi tion mass meetiug in such a zealous manner when the legislature bail be fore it vital issue recommended by the chief executive bimself. bad something to do with the action of the caucus.
