A bill is now Ill-lore our Legislature to prohibit til" sale of ' d"pe' drinks. Representative Douglas, of Wale, the author of the bill, att rii.utfs half of ths railroad ac cidents and horrible crimes in North Carolina to "dope." Senator Ben Tihman, - f South Carolina, is a very Miiai't man and t here are many t lungs i;botit hnn that call for admiration. Rut when he inak.-s a bluoder it is usually a b.id on". We behove that hisspeech in the Senat on last Saturday doiiouncing the rivsjdent for dismissing those ne gro troops was about the- biggest blunder he has ever mane. It is a well known fact that Senator Tillman has no love for the ne gro and none for Roosevelt, so the best thing he could have done would have been to ki op quiet. That t-pei-i h can do the South no good, but harm. It is very un fortunate that it was delivered. - We agree with the New- and Observer in regard to putting sal aries in p!ae of fe0".

F r the benefit of the readers ot The Express who do- not i9o the daily papers, wo will write a hnet account, of c ur trip ti the reunion of the Biirvivore of th battles of Fort Fish9r. Sometime during the month of last September, at a meeting held m Wilmii gton, it was decided to hold a reniiion on the lath of January, that hcing the -12nd un til v rsarv of that great battle. and that the smvivors of both the Confederate a:id 1'nioii a nines he invited.

Here several hours were spent in walk ing over the grounds, locating certain spots and in lighting the war over again, etc. One ery patheti; scene was when Rev. J A Smith and a Northern soldier stood on trie exact spot where the former surrendered to the latter 12 years age and embraced each other. After viewing the grounds am' talking of that memorable c'vent of Jan 15, 18Go, the vast crowd iv 'urned to the boats for the rHurn to Wilmington. We should have r-tated before that the steamer Wilmington not being large enough f,, carry the crowd, it was ni i'esary to haye another. We think we can safely say that cr ovd numbered at least a 1, 000 or l,.r)00. We arrived in Wilmington about sundown . At S:o0 p in we assembled ii) the Opera house, the Northern veterans seated on one side, the Southern on the other, where we had more speech making from both Northern and Southern vets. One of the pretti-.st scenes that we witnessed was about 50 girls all dressud in pure Hbite, stand ing on the front of the stage sing ing "Carol ioa," "'Ho! for Caro lina" and other songs.

Now in conclusion we want to 6iy that m v, ere treated royally. Enter ailment was free and the people of Wilmington did their nest to make us have good time and they succeeded.
