A DRY MOON
Now Hangs Over
the-Tar.
There was a warm discussion
Monday before the board of county
commissioners over the question
of license to retail liquor
in the town of The
aldermen of that town had refused
to grant license, and the two
brought the matter on
the commissioners in the
hope of getting the county to issue
license. Both sides were
before the commissioners
with petitions for and against the
issuing of license. Much of the
argument the statement
made by those favoring license
that the present officers of
were not legal, but this being a
question beyond the jurisdiction
of the it also
being beyond their power to issue
license in a town that bad refused
license, the matter was postponed
until the August of the
commissioners.
So the barrooms at
will have to close until the matter
is settled for a month, at
least, the town will be dry.

To the Editor of The Post;
In your issue of Tuesday, June
I saw an account of a
murder which occurred in
Beaufort county, near Latham
Cross Roads, and it was slated
that the had been to a
in Pitt county, owned by
James Clark. Jr. You do me
an injustice, as I have never in
any way, shape or form con-
with a or dealing
in whiskey. The true state of
affairs is, the in question
work for me in Pitt county, mid
the night of the murder, which
was Saturday night, after I had
settle with them, went over in
Beaufort county got something
to drink, were their way
back home when the murder
curred .
I would like for you to make
correction of this matter, as it
might injure as it now stands.
Yours truly,
E. ,
The above is taken from the
Morning Post. As The
published account of the
affair similar to the Post's, we
cheerfully exonerate Mr. Clark.

WASHINGTON WANTS IT.
Offers Greenville Tobacco Men
Free Warehouses.
The Gazette-Messenger is the
authority for the statement that
Washington will give either of the
tobacco firms in the town of Green-
ville, suffered from the
large fire a few nights ago, the
rent of the vacant tobacco ware-
houses this city for the coming
season absolutely free of charge.
Understand this, Washington is
not attempting to make profit at
the expense of the burned out
Greenville. That town is going to
work with characteristic energy
and beginning to rebuild at once.
But there is talk to the effect
that the carpenters in Greenville
cannot the buildings up in
time the season. Washington
wants that tobacco market here
and if energy will get it, you can
it already here. The
rent of the tobacco in this
city is offered free to either of the
burned out Greenville firms.
Washington Gazette Messenger,
This is a generous offer the
part of our neighbor
while we believe it is made with
the best of motives there is no
likelihood that the will be
accepted. Only two of the
ville warehouses were burned in
the tire and both of them
will be speedily rebuilt. On one
of them work is already well on
the way, much of the framing be-
already up, work will
commence on the other as soon as
material can be collected. As the
well says,
Greenville going to work with
characteristic energy to
all the warehouses will be
ready tor business early the
season

The progressive town of Winterville, just to the south of
is lengthening its cords and strengthening its stakes. For
some time past that town has had a department in The Re-
in which both to tell the news and advance the
interests there. Now the town has taken another long
step forward in the matter of publicity by occupying three
times as much space as heretofore in the semi-weekly
tor in to talk about the town, its industries and
of aldermen that all
bar-rooms must close at o'clock,
and that there shall be no side
doors, rear entrances, screens, pool
rooms or partitions attached. The
board has reduced the number of
saloons from to eight and
now refuses to issue any new
licenses. This is sensible reform.
