Ward Liquor Bill Passes Sana te.
By a decisive vote the Ward liquor
bill, which prohibits the manufacture
of whiskey in towns of less than -i.OOO
inhabitants with two policemen, passed
its third reading in the Senate Satur
day. The bill will affect quite a num
ber of towns in the State, including
Milton, Advance, Williams, Shore and
Myrtle.
The bill came up on its second read
ing Monday, and there was much
speech-making for and against the
measure. Some of the bitterest words
used in the session were brought into
play. It developed that Senator Sim
mons had drawn the Ward bill, and one
Senator served notice on him that he
would not hereafter receive the support
of his Bection. Another Senator up-
raided the party for Josiah William
Bailep's connection with the bill, de
claring that he was a Republican and
was trying to wreck the Democratic
party. The vote on the bill on the
second reading stood:
Those voting in the affirmative were
Senators Alexander, Arendell, Boddie,
Bragaw, Everett, Foushee, Long of
Iredell, Long of Person, Mason of Gas
ton, Mason of Northampton, McCul
loch, McLean, Moore, Odell, Scales,
Stringfield, Thorne, Turner, Turren-
tine, Vann, Ward, Whtkins, Webb,
Wright and Zollicoffer-25.
Those voting in the negative Were
Senators Aaron, Bryan, Burton, Coxe,
Crisp, Eller, Empie, Flemming, Gilliam,
Grady, Miller, Ricks, Sinclair, Somers,
Stubbs and Williams 16.
The significant thing about the voting
is Senator Eller, of Forsyth, Governor
Glenn's closest friend in the Senator
voting against the bill, which is under
stood to also indicate the position of the
Governor with reference to the matter.
When the bill reached its third read
ing Saturday there was also a lot of
speech-making, and Senators Gilliam,
Stubbs and Fleming gave notice that
they desired to be recorded in the min
utes of the proceedings as having op
posed such legislation. Senator Empie,
of New Hanover, d'sclared it was noth
ing less than stealing, 1 v
The bill has been sent to the House,
ann will probably be passed oy tnat
body and ratified.
The Lower House has voted to abol
ish the dispensary at Seaboard, and a
bill has passed permitting the places in
Johnston county which hive dispen
saries to vote on the proposition to sub
stitute prohibition for them.
Representative Humphreys' kill to
prevent the sale of cigarettes within
two miles of Sharp Institute passed.
Senator Foushee has presented to the
Senate petitions from Caswell county
against the removal of the distilleries
from Milton.
The bill to amend the charter of the
American Warehouse Co. at Spray has
passed the third reading in the Lower
House, wh'ch allows the capital stock
of the concern to be $5,000,000.

The spacious parlors in the parsonage
of the M. E. church, near Madison ave-
nue, Baltimore, was tne scene oi a
quiet, pretty wedding on February 8th.
when Miss Nellie R. Balsley, daughter
of Mr. Charle3 T. Balsley, became the
bride of Mr. James Benjamin Blair, an
official of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail
road. Rev. E V Register, pastorj of
the church, performed the ceremony in
a most impressive manner. The bride
looked regal in a tailor-made brown
broadcloth gown, with hat and gloves
to match. The groom wore the conven
tional black. Mr. Claude DeCoase acted
as best man and the attendants were
the three sisters of the bride, Misses
Ola, Mae and Caroline Baisley, Mrs. B.
H. Lambert, of Alexandria, Va., an
aunt of the bride. Mr. Allen and Miss
Stephens of SykesviUe, Maryland, were
the out-of-town guests. .
As Mr. and Mrs. Blair passed in a
glow of sunshine from the marble steps
of theporsonage to the carriage await
ing to convey them to the B. & O. sta

References to His Adopted State, Which
... He Refers to.
Editor Reidsville : REViEw:-Re-roembering
your past treatment of
communications that express a differ
ence of opinion from those entertained
by yourself, I have refrained from no
ticing the little thrusts made by you at
the good name of my adopted State. I
have noticed these from time to time in
the columns of your paper, but have
always been at a loss to understand
upon what basis of fact you predicated
your insinuations. From the viewpoint
of an outsider, it would appear that
only the reckless desperation of a hope
less cause could actuate the wilful and
malicious garbling and misrepresenta
tion of facts and conditions. Your ex
treme zeal for and loyalty to the liquor
element of your town and county cer
tainly is no excuse for your persistent
maligning and traducing the fair name
of a section of the country that is fast
recovering from the desolation wrought
40 years ago by the torch and sword of
cruel war.
We are too busy to deny the wicked
stories daily invented against us by a
jealous section in the far North and
East, for the more intelligent people
whose friendship we are craving and
cultivating no longer believe us to be a
race of blood and thunder fire-eaters.
But it does concern us most deeply that
such cormorants as your esteemed self,
claiming to be flesh of our flesh and a
citizen of our common Southland, should
lend your influence to such base ends as
to traduce your own brothers of the
sail simply to serve the behests of a few
I So much in explanation of my deign-
ing to notice your uttie innuendoes.
Your readers will, I am sure, accept
my apology without further multiplica
tion of words. -
The object of this letter is to ask you
to look un the criminal record of South
Carolina before holding her up to the
business world as an example of unre
constructed vice and crime, then com
pare it with the record of your own
State.
The last offense by you along this lire
and the one which prompts me to write
this letter is the following editorial of
the 3rd inst.:
The January term of Wake Superior
Court for the trial of criminal cases ad
journed yesterday at noon. The docket
was one of the heaviest that the county
has had in a good long time. . The fact
that the docket - was exhausted on Fri
diy of the second week shows the tre
mendous amount of work that Judge
Moore and Solicitor Jones have done
during the term.
The above is from the "Old Reliable, "
the News and Observer, the father of
the great reform institution, the Ral
eigh dupsnsary, which, we believe, is
doing the only legalized business in
Wake county. Indeed, it 13 making for
its county a regular South Carolina
reputation.
Unless you are master of the art of
irony the last clause of the above edi
torial is a very neat compliment to
Wake county, for a South Carolina rep
utation means quite a good deal as can
be seen by the following clipping from
a local paper regarding the decrease of
crime in this county:
REMARKABLE DECREASE IN CRIME.
Smaller Amount of Business in the
..;;; Criminal Courts Last Year Than
in Any Year Since Civil War,
The record of crime in Anderson
county during 1904 , was smaller than in
any year since the Civil War. For weeks
at a time the county jail has stood
empty, being without a single prisoner
The population of the county ismore
than 65,000.
The record is such a remarkable one
that it has been commented on by the
press of the State, and by the different
circuit judges presiding over the coutt3
here and elsewhere.
In his charge to the grand jury in
opening the spring term gf the court of
general sessions Judge J. C Klugh
paid a very high tribute to Anderson
county. He said:
"I hold before me, gentlemen, the
list of prisoners now in the jail who are
to be tried at this term of the court,
and I have been Impressed by the very
small number. Taking the usual per-
cent., of the out on bond tho,. who
win oe presented py your ooay auring
this tcrmof courti.it appears that there
has been very little crime in Anderson
county since the last term of the court
-so little, in fact.'that it is worthy of
comment.
"I was surprised at first, but perhaps
there is nothing surprising in it after
all Anderson has a reputation extend
ing beyond the bmits of the State, for
the thrift and industry and prosperity
of her citizens. Anderson is known to
a great many as 'The Banner County;'
it is known far and near that Anderson
people are busy; that they are develop
ing their commercial and manufacturing
and agricultural interests, and when
you come to think of it, it will follow
as a most natural result that in a com
munity where the people are busy there
will be very little crime.
' 'So the condition in regard to your
jail and the small amount of crime is
not surprising; it simply bears out what
ha3 been clamed for the county, that it
is prosperous, that its citizens are busy
and prospering. It is a splendid state
of affairs, and I congratulate you most
heartily."
Each successive grand jury, meeting
to inquire into the condition of the
county, has been moved, in its pride
and gratification at the decrease of
crime, to emphasize the idea advanced
by Judge Klugh that people who are
busy are never criminals. They : at
tribute the continued peace and good
order of the continued peace and good
order of the county to the fact that the
large and constantly increasing popula
tion of the county is employed; that
there are few if any idle people in the
county, and that all who work are re-
ceivinir satisfactory compensation for
their labor.
The presentment handed in by the
grand jury at the February terra is, in
this respect, one of the most important
made by an Anderson county grand jury
in vears. It says in part: "We have
passed on all bills handed to us and are
glad to note that there are not many.
We think it is a matter worthy of no
tice that notwithstanding the rapid in
crease in the population of our county,
the influx of people from other counties
and other States, and the congregation
of so many at the places of the indus
trial enterprises located in our midst,
yet crime seems to be decreasing. It
is an evidence of contentment on the
part of the people and that employ
ment is a preventative of crime. The
people generally seem, to be prosperous
and contented. ' v
The presentment for the June term is
of the same optimistic tenor.
"We have passed upon all bids sub
mitted to us with the exception of one,
which has been carried over until next
court, and are pleasad to note that the
condition of our county for peace and
order, . and for its law-abiding citizen
ship, to which we called especial atten
tion in our general presentment at the
last term of court, is still maintained.
That we have been able to perform our
duty at this term in two days is of itself
an evidence of this fact.
The uninterrupted reign of pea:e and
order was referred to again in the pre
sentment filed at, the September term,
which exoressed pleasure in that the
county's fair reputation for prosperity
and order was still maintained. ,
This, I take it, will be sufficient proof
to an unbiased mind that we are not the
lawless community you so much delight
to paint us. Would it be asking too
much to beg that you change your
spots and deal honestly with your con
stituents by disseminating the truth re
gardless of whom it may hurt" You
insult their intelligence by any other
procedure.
I presume you will not seriously ob
ject to giving me space for this letter;
as it will, in a measure, atone for the
injustice done a good and great people.
Yours very truly,
Teos. A. Ratliffb, Jr. ;

Cold
It should be borne in mind that
every cold weakens the lungs, low
ers the vitality and prepares the
system for the more serious dis
eases, among which are the two
greatest destroyers of human life,
pneumonia and consumption.
Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy
has won Its great popularity by its
prompt cures of this most common
ailment. It aids expectoration, re
lieve the lungs and opens the
secretions, effecting a speedy and
permanent cure. It counteracts
any tendency toward pneumonia.
