Ed. Clark. When the wagon reached the Coast Line load the driver saw some one make a motion, indicating that the fire was in the alley. The driver reined up the horse and drove across the track at an angle, and the wheel was caught be tween the rail and the planks; - this caused the wagon to be overturned and Hammond was thrown violently to the ground.

Pulpit, Press and People Endorse "Snyder's Travel!ng Piano and Pipe Organ Shop," which is now at the Patterson House, The ''Delaware State News," of Dover, Del., in its issue of October 10th said: "The Snyder Shop has re-felted and re-built pianos in the homes of many of our leading citizens, including Senator Allee, Dr. Bishop, Dr. Twflley, Lawyer igee, Dr. Sharpe, William Salisberry Robert Stott, J. E. , Kirk and many others. By carrying a large line of material and doing everything, from simple tuning to general reconstructing, the Snyder Shop seems to eliminate the competition of ordinary piano tuners. Mr. Snyder came to Dover with en dorsements that could not be ques tioned, and although his charges are a little higher than the average, the fact remains that his work is universally satisfactory." TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN. Mr. Snyder has tuned and repaired three pianos for me, and I recommend him as a first class tuner and repairer. He has also repaired a number of pia nos in this community, which have given entire satisfaction. Mrs. H. L. Cohen, Mt Olive, N. C, Jan. 2d 1907. Mrs. Cohen is at the head of the mu sical department of the graded schools of Mt Olive. The "Wicomico News," Salisbury, Md., in a recent issue, speaking of Mr, Snyder's work, said: "He is doing a large buisness among musical people. In restoring the sweet nesa of tone to pianos that have grown harsh, his skill is remarkable. " Wilmington. Del., Nov. 20, 1906.

Special to Journal. senate: Raleigh, Jan 12 Bills introduced in the Senate today were : To reduce passenger rates to two and a half cents and require interchangeable mileage books at a rate not over that price and good on all lineB under penalty of not less than five hundred nor more than two thousand dollars.

Resolution offered asking Congress to pass pending bill f rbidding ship ment of whiskey into prohibition terri tory from another State. Senator Greer of Whiteville intro duced a bill providing for assessment of real estate by Corporation Commission in stock law counties when it assesses other railway property. A resolution was adopted that Senate and House adjourn January 19th on the occasion of the one hundredth birthday of Gen. Lee and hi recognition of the illustrious character of R. F. Hoke, former Major General Confederate armv and now ranking othcer oi all who served in the army of northern Virginia and who was recommended by Gen Lee to President Davis and Cabi net as an officer who should succeed him in command of army should he (Gen. Lee) become incapicated. Ross- lution states that Gen. Hoke in peace as in War has reflected honor on his na tive State, and joint committee shall arrange suitable services for . occasion, call on Gen. Hoke, invite him to be at the reception. The legislature de sires to tender him that date. Gen. Hoke's home is Raleigh. Four years ago he declined similar honor ten dered him by the legislature. Your cor respondent will state in this connection that General Hoke has at last admitted that while in a personal conference with Lee, the latter told him he feared his (Lee's) health would give way, to guard against such contingency had in formed President Davis that in such case he wished Gen. Hoke to replace him. It is of course known that a se cret sessftn of the cabinet was held at which this was the subject and such ar rangement was made, but Lee's health did not give way. HOUSE. At session of the House the Judiciary Committee favorable report of a reso lution was received, requiring persons who appear in behalf of legislation or representative of those interests in se curing it to register in special book. this of course is aimed at lobbyists. It is the fifth time su:h a resolution has been introduced and the first was a fa vorable report 1 Representative Winborn, of Hertford introduced a resol .tion appropriating additional $25,000 to the Jamestown ex position fun i ond providing for the ( purchase of a sue for the North CaroU- na building.

Williams expressed great surprise at the practical shelving of his resolution saying it was the result of careful con sideration of the railroad situation by some of the wisest public men in the . State thoroughly conversant with the situation and desiring to accomplish much needed reform. . ; ANTl DISPENSARY MEETING Another Large and Enthusiastic ; Meeting of Opponents of The Measure The court house was crowded last, night at the second meeting of the Anti-Dispensary League to hear the discussion of the question now. before the people from an anti-dispensary point of view. A goodly portion of the assembly was women whose interest against the movement is obvious and ' whose influence is clearly felt. The meeting was called to order promptly at 8 o'clock by chairman Whitty and after prayer offered by Rev. Dr. Beaman. Rev. J.J. Douglass addressed the audience. He said he had no apology to offer, that deemed it not only a pleasure but a privilege to speak in a cause so noble as that represented there. He spoke with ail respect and deference to those who entertained opinions differing from his and praised the speakers at the dispensary meeting. He said there were, however some points in their ar guments which demanded answering and honest as the defenders undoubted ly were, their remarks afforded many opportunities for answering. In the first place the distinguished citizen ard able lawyer (reference to Mr. Clark) said that Kinston, Raleigh and other places were profiting by the dispensary He read a letter from the pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist church in Ral eigh, stating that the dispensary is pro- moter of drunkenness, that instead of liquor being drank in one, two or three places, it U purchased by the bottle and taken where the buyer wills, wheth er on the street, alley or store, and when the bottle is emptied it is thrown on the street It does not decrease the drunkenness of the town. dispensary, they are to be found at Kinston one case being in the Superior court for trial at last term of court At -Wilson the same condition exists. ; Law and order do not prevail, but the evil effects are seen many times during the . week. We deplore the conditions known as "blind tigers" developed here and yet on reviewing the police record for cases of selling liquor without license . we find 50 cases bound over to Superior court for trial. He compared the dis pensary town of Halifax with the pro hibition city of High Point . showing that prosperity does not depend on a place having saloons or dispensary. He' also cited Charlotte as a prosperous at.d progressive city. The saying thaf pro hibition does not prohibit ia a statement ' that will need investigation.; Any law or measure to t:o enforced must have someone of intl.ience back of it and if the an ti-temperance people will stand the temperance laws there will be no lack of enforcemeut. The States of ' Maine and Kansas bear testimony that with the proper executive officers back of it the laws can bs enforced. And then again there are no laws that are absolutely enforced or there would be no stealing, murder and other crimes; then why should it be required that the -prohibition law should be enforced. The speaker went Into eloquent favor in be-, half of the women and children over the remarks of the dispensary promoter in which he advised his hearers not to be "moved by the prayers of sympa thetic women or the sons of irresponsi ble children," He closed with two ap propriate anecdotes by which he sought to urge the temperance people to main tain the cause of right by voting against the dispensary. , ' , Rev. J G Garth was the next speak er and he based his remarks on the pas gage in Acts relating to the wise coun sel of the Jew Gamaliel with special reference to these words: If this thing be of men it will come to naught but if it be of God we cannot overcome it lest haply we fight God." He made a brief resume of temperance history showing how the cause was started a hundred years ago in America and bow it developed and grew into a world wide reform, being taken up across the water, first by Scotland and Ireland then by England, Germany and France. The Woman's Christian Temperance Union, organized in 1871 has been a power for good, and the triumphs of the cause has shown that it is of God and not of wen. Thera are two classes in favor of the dispensary, those who think the city will profit by it and those who want it 4kAlv Awn Malrna Tna ffvat Aloaa ... those who have been led by a false light into a dangerous path, the others are those actuate! only by- selfish mo tives.
