The 3 inch pipe has arrived and also the sand , bailer. After getting the 3 inchj pipe put down and the sand and water bailed out of the well Wed nesday, the work of driving the 3 inch pipe was liegun. The pipe had been sunk a number of feet when without notice it dropped suddenly more than to feet, the driving c*p 011 the end of it sloping it when the 4 1 J inch pipe was struck, keeping it from going fur ther down. All of yesterday was spent trying tb get the driving cap off so as to atld more pipe. This was accouiplised just about night. Very soft mud, a lake, river, au underground caveru or something of the kind was struck causing the pipe to drop as it did. The opinion now is that there is a l>etter chance of striking good water.

His subject was: "The Ameri cae Saloon an Unmitigated Evil Upon the American People." His discussion was logical and to the point. Lack of space and" time prevent us from giving a better write-up. The Singing Class. . The singing class from the Ox ford Orphanage will be iiiQurtOwn next Friday night June 7, at 8 o'clock, and will give one of their concerts in the Masonic Hall. The concert is pure, bright and attractive, and is worthy of large and liberal patronage even if it were not given in behalf of a work which merits the hearty support of every lover of humanity. Those that attend these concerts each year are always benefited and it is to be hoped that a large crowd will greet them 011 this occasion, HASSELL LANE CLOSED A special meeting of the town commissioners was held last Mon day night to take action in the Hassell Lane matter.

Meeting of the Anti-Saloon League P'lte Anti-Saloon League held its meeting in the Disciple Church Mouday night and elected as its President Mr. John D. Simpson Secretary and Treasurer Mr. Alonzo D. Mizell. There was an executive committee of eleven ap pointed and among them were the most influential men in the town. The organization numbers about fifty in its membership and from those present and who expressed themselves there is a very strong sentiment iu the community for temperance. There is an element in the community that is as yet "on the fence'' iu their stand publicly. The situation is entirly encourag ing. There were dissensions as to plans of the league but these were undetermined at the meeting and left to the executive committee. The organization then went into an educatioual discussion of the effects of alcohol on the individual and the community. The discus sion was general. A number of letters from restricted traffic towns were read and discussed. The -discussion was general. The whole sentiment of the letters l>e ing that the business of none of the communities had suffered, but in the majority of caaes had greatly increased. Various members of the League rdated how large bus iness firms had exerted their hi (lu etics in favor of temperance, how railroads and manufacturing en terprises refused to employ per sonr addicted to the drink habit however occassional. The discussion went into the line of town improvement by fac tories and industries and it was shown that every prosperous town in North Carolina that had made any marked strides had restricted the liquor traffic. The discussions were enthusing and encouraging, everyone present felt that some thing had already been accom plished, when they could look each other in the face anL(eel that they were of one accord in tTieir purpose and conviction. The policy of the League is to get an understanding of the busi ness, it effects and the best method of controlling it and bringing their information l>efore the people. The efforts will be along charitable and considerate lines, nothing rash, un just or violent will be engaged in, but the organization is determined and confident. S. R.
