Passage of Webb Bill Brings
Old Avery Measure into
Force.
Morganton, March 7. The pas
sage of the Webb liquor bill has
brought about a peculiar situation
in Burke County and one which is
presented in only two other
counties in the State, Rutherford
and Anson.
In 1907 I. T, Avery of Burke
introduced a bill, which was
passed, prohibiting the delivery
of liquors iu Burke County and
the Representatives of Ruther
ford and Anson Counties fell in
line, also, and had their counties
added to the bill. )
The State Courts declared the
bill unconstitutional but the pat
sage of the Webb bill put Avery's
bill back into effect and the South
ern Express Company's stents
have been notified to deliver no
more liquor arrd as a conse
quence the express office has ta
ken on the appearance of a ware
house. Under the Avery bill only hos
pitals and drug stores cbuld re
ceive liquor, and as the town law
ftrbidsdrug stores handling it,
Morganton now has its first touch
of abiolufce prohibition. The J2x
prpss Company will not deliver
whiskey in any size packages to
any one.
Federal Income Tax.
Washington, March 7,-A' FeaS
eral income tax, -probably of one
per cent, and a free sugar tariff
schedule practically were agreed
upon today by the Democrats who
are to compose the majority o!
the House Ways and Means
Committee in the Sixty-third Con
gress. The Democrats will meet
every day from now on to per
fect their bill before the extra
session begins April 1 .
Representatives Gamer of
Texas, Seanley of Kentucky and
Cyllier of Mississippi, chosen as
the three new Democratic mem
bers, met with the committee to
day for the first time. ,
The minimum income to which
the proposed tax would . apply
was not agreed upon.

thought Promises Old South
Made Good.
Goldsboro, March 7. Some
negroes of Golesboro seem to
have the idea that under a Demo
cratic Administration paper mon
ey issued by the Confederate
Goverment was good and coujd
be spent. Some time yesterday
Will Dove approached Lonnie
White, who works as a bell boy
for the Kennon Hotel, on the
street and asked him to change
$10 for him. Later in the day
Lonnie tried to use the note given
him for the change and was told
that it was a worthless Confeder
ate note.
He hunted up Dove and de
manded his money back, which
Dove refused, claiming that he
was getting the change for a negro
woman, and that she had the
money. Lonnie had dove arrest
ed, and the policeman turned his
prisoner over to Deputy Marshal
Smith who carried him before
Commissioner Peterson for trial.
Dove produced the woman that
he claimed he got the change for.
and she stated that she found the
money and thought it was now
good, as Mr. Wilson was Presi
dent. When informed by the
Commissioner that the money was
worthless, she produced $10 and
offered to return it.
'This was done, and the Com
missioner dismissed the case
against the Doye negro, but he
and the woman are jstiil puzzled
to know whrtristhafi U-a'S&tS
era man is President that the old
mone'y of the South is not good.

Special Session for Tariff Alone.
Washington March 7. Presi
dent Wilson had settled enough
in office today to indicate pretty
clearly some of the things, that
may be expected of him in the fu
ture. He made no public an
nouncements of policy, but there
were a few developments that
seemed to show the trend of the
first days of his Administration.
The President told the visitors
he was inclined to favor the plan
of House leaders to confine the
special session of Congress to ta
riff revision.
