He answered : "You knoV that I am net theoretically a prohibitionist. But 1 am in favor of any law that will prevent crime. I have never heard of auy one objecting to the law prohibit ing any one from carrying concealed weapons. This is. to prevent crime. As I see it, it is not taking away a man's liberty any more to prohibit amoud it. Liberty is a -great blessing, but when abused it makes one a dan ger to society. No man liveth to him self ; we are all members of society, and the common good rather than selBsh gratification of appetite should be our aim. Prohibition is entitled to a trial, and I am willing to co operate as a citizen to that end." SIXTEEN YEARS OF SOBRIETY. Ramseur, N. C, R. F. D. No. 2., Feb. 20. IMS. Mr. Chas. D. Cuniuaham.

March 58. -The ursi pjimcai discussion oeiween uem- locrats heard in Green sbcro in many I years was pulled off last Thursday night, when an immense crowd filled the county court house to overflowing to hear what had been advertised as a 'nk dcate between Prof. J. Allen Holt and Solicitor A. L. Brooks. candidates for Congress, but what in reclif devloped into an . ovation for Mr. Btooks. Prof. Holt had advertis ed the apnointment and annouueed that lie yvoold discuss certain matters jthat had been engaging the attention of the people, referring to charges 1 against Solicitor Brooks put into cir culation by supporters of Prof. Holt ! for the congressional bomintion. While disapproving of joint discus i sions between Democrats, Solicitor Brooks felt impelled to accept the in ivitation to meet Prof. Holt, in view j of the fact that the charges referred I to ieflected upon his personal integrity j and official conduct. The keenest interest was manifested in the meet ing, and it seemed as if the entire Democratic voting population of Greensboro tried to gain admission to the court house to hear what might be said. It is,statiug the simple truth to say that Prof. Holt failed utterly to sus tain his position and that a majority of those who went to the speakiug-as his friends left as the staunch support ers of Solicitor Brooks. Even the friends of Mr Brooks expected bis ODiJonent to make a better showing for himself, although they understood horocghy the animus behind the op position and knew there was no foundation in fact upon which to base the charaes. PROF. HOLT'S SPEECH. Prof. Holt opened the discussion with a speech of an hour's length, the burden of which was that Solicit or Brtioks had taken fees in sci. fa., cases to which he was not entitled and which should have gone to the Rfhnnl fnnrl TTp nitrl a few allpcerl I cases, but epxlained that lie had not obtained his information from the official records. The speaker made the arraignment as severe as he knew how and received a modicum of aoplause. He charged : "That excessive fees have been paid to and receipted for by Mr. Brooks in violation of a plain statute, is not de nied and cannot be denied.. Iu his various statements in the court and in the newspapers he has sought: "1. To make it appear that his fees have been such as he thought he was entitled to under the ruling of the Supreme Court, and "2. To hide behind the plea of ignoranec of the law as to his fees. I shall answer the last plea first. "The records seem to show beyond peradventure that Mr. Brooks did know the law. for on no other theory could he arrive at the fees betook; be sides, it is a matter of proof in one case at least he had the law definitely pointed out to him. "Judge Webb was no doubt of the opinion, probably misled by the Solic itor, that the question at issue was the $4 ic. fa. fees, and willing to help a fellow attorney out of a hole, stated from the bench that he, had done the same thing. Mr. Brooks, in fa large number of cases in Guilford, took sums largely in excess of this $4 fee which judges and solicitors say Brooks, sayina the papers have been giving one-sided reports and refusing to give hitn a bearing. He criticised Judge Webb lor the statement maae ; from the tvnch in Durliain Superior 1 Court, when Solicitor Broojis appear ed in open court and asked that an investigation be lad of the charges against him. - Before clcsing liis speech.Frof. Holt declare!: "Either I or some other 'Democrat tnnt defeat Brooks, or a Republican will have it to do." MR. BROOKS' SPEECH. When Solicitor Brooks arose to re cly to Prcf. Holt's-attack, he was greeted with a whirlwind of applause, which grew in volume as he proceed ed, in no uncertain manner, to dis pose of the charges made against him. In opening bis remarks, he turned to Prof. Holt arid said: "Of all the pitiaMe spectacles I have ever seen a Democrat make of himself, you have gone the limit here tonight. By your own statement, if I am Domiuated for Congress, you want a Republican to beat me." From that moment the crowd belonged to Brooks. 2 Mr. Brooks said hedeprceated a dis cussion between Democrats, for he had been taught to fight Republicans, but when his character was asfailed, he felt it incumbent upon him as a man to defend himself . He said : , "I will tear down no man's character, and, so belD me God, no man shall de stroy mine."" When he added, with great 'emphasis. "Any man who nh:irtrr- tno veith corrnnHnn ic a. Hot ' and the truth is not in him." the audience forgot all rules of decorum and broke loose into a bedlam of ap plause that fairly shook the bnilding. Men who came into the meeting with their minds prejudiced against Solici tor Brooks were among the first to rise to rise to their feet and applaud the sentiment. Men who do not make a practice of attending political speak ings threw their hats into the air and shouted themselves hoarse. Such enthusiasm has seldom been witnessed in this town. JUfer referring to the questionable methods employed in the campaign against him by a small coterie of political enomies. Solicitor Brooks took up teh question of fees in sci. fa. cases. He explained that for over a hundred years it(ha been the custom in North Carolina for solicitors to re ceive fees in sci. fa. cases and added that, since the decisionjof the Supreme t Court declaring that commissions only should be paid, no fees had been col- lected. In support of his position. Solicitor Brooks read letters he had received from Associate Justice George H. Brown. Jr. , or the Supreme Court; Judge G.'V. Ward, of the Superior Court; Solicitor S. P. Graves, of the Eleventh distrct, and ex-Soilicitor L. I. Moore, of the Newbern district. These letters stated unequivocally that it had been the custom prior to the Supreme Court decision referred to. to tax the fees in sci. fa. cases. Justice Brown referred to the fact that previous decisions of the Su preme Court had left .the question un settled. Then to cap the climax he read a statement from the Clerk of the Super ior Court of Guilford county, saying that be had carefully examined the Better Work Less Labor. By using Imperial Plows, Empire Corn Planters, Halloclc Corn Weeders, Fetilizer Drills, Disc Harrows, Foar Hoe Cultii'ators, And other j;ocd Farm and Garden Tools.

It showed he had received $o00.L0, where as, had he collected five rW cent, in all of these cases the amount woold have reached $593 85. He also read a statement from the Clerk of Person county court of nine cases where he received as Solicitor forty dollars, where at five per cent he would have gotten a hundred dollars. Since the burden of Prof. Holt's song W6a that commissions instead of fees should have been collected, these letters knocked the last prop from under him. Solicitor Brooks said he had no doubt that an examination of the books would show that, in some cases, there were discrepancies, but they were as often against' him as in his favor and he had an understanding with all Superior Court Clerks in his district that lie was.to pay any amount a settlement might show him to be due. Solicitor Brooks read-the following section from the statutes to show the power the judges have in settling cases of forfeited bonds and recognizances: "The judges of the Superior Courts may hear and determine the etition of all presons who shall conceive they merit relief on their recogpizancee forefited: and may lessen or ahsolutey remit, the came, and do all and any thing therein as they shall deem just and right and consistent with the welfare of the State and the persons praying such relief, as well before as after final judgtnerir entered and ex ecution awarded." Near the conclusion of his sjecb Solicitor Brooks wanted to know where Prof. Holt was in the campaigns of ISM, 1813 and 19O0. when the Democracy of North Carolina wa fighting for its life. When he made reference to fighting Republican and gold Democrat, the house went wild again, for nearly every foue present knew where Prof. Holt formerly stood. When Prof. Holt arose to make his concluding speech a large portion of the audience left thee ourt room, and those who remained listened with in different attention at the speaker rambled along for 15 minutes reiterat ing what be had said before.

HOLT'S WATERLOO. The discussion between Prof. J. Al len Holt and Solicitor. A. L. Brooks, as pirants for the Democratic congression al nomination, in the court honie last night in the talk of the town today, the consensus of opinion apparently being that Professor Holt is eliminated from the contest. Professor Holt had adver tised the appointment and invited Sol icitor Brooks to be present and make any reply he might see fit to make. The friends of Professor Holt insisted that he wovjd demolish Solicitor Brooks came to the meeting: in a highly elated frame of mind Mr. Brooks had not spoken two minutes in reply to Professsor Holt until he had the crowd with him. and the enthusiasm inert ased as he pro ceeded to tear into shreds the alleged charges made by his opporement. It is but stating a fact to say that the an nihilation was full and complete. Mr. Brooks really made a masterly fpeech, and if appearances count for anything he won over to his support practically all of Professor Holt's friends in the meeting. Professor Holt tharged the Demo cratic newspapers ol the fifth district with attempting to condone and cover up the alleged offences of Solicitor Brooks arid complained that he could not get a hearing in the press of hii o n party. He also charged (hat either he or some other Democrat mast defeat Mr. Brooks, or a Repubublican will have it to do, -Greensboro Cor. .harlotte Observer. HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM. !
