The legislature proper to a law which requires the board of aldermen in appointing dispensary commissioners to appoint only those who voted for a The manifest purpose of this law is to secure a faithful execution of the will of the people in a dispensary. It is to be that our aldermen hive at de- this wise law. It was their plain duty to obey the law. They openly set it at defiance. The board met Thursday night to appoint three dispensary commissioners for the dispensary which goes into operation July 1st. They knowingly appointed two persons who voted the dispensary thus deliberately putting its control and management in the hands of its enemies. It would have been bad enough to put one disqualified m on the board, but to select a who are disqualified, is I i u com of Mississippi falls in line with a solid delegation for Parker.

We not say that the board was bound to appoint any of those who were mended, but we do say they were bound to appoint those who were qualified, under the law, to hub the place. This they did not do. Besides this very question has been decided in a suit to which each member of the board was a party in the suit of and against the members of the board of aldermen one of the grounds of complaint was that it was the purpose of the board to point as commissioners only those roted for a dispensary. The board in its answer admitted that it was its purpose to appoint only those who were qualified under tie law. The plan tiff asked the to restrain the board from making appointment, the court declined to do it. In view of all these facts we repeat it is strange, even surpass- strange, that board should elect a majority of the commission- from those who are disqualified under the law to hold the position What can it mean Whether Parker speaks out or not, the many states declaring for him looks like his nomination is assured. Who will succeed Aycock asked an exchange. Wait until after the Greensboro association and some- body will tell you. Next Thursday is the day at Greensboro.

I was indeed glad when I read in The on the 16th of April your views in regard to our jury system, that reforms were badly needed. It is high time that the present system, when one man so to say, can hang a jury, should be done away with. I think we ought to adopt the jury system of our neigh- republic, Mexico. When in 1824 Mexico became independent, the constitution of that country was modeled after the U. S. constitution, adopting only those laws which are good, just, reasonable, and avoid- whatsoever could conflict. In case of crimes the is not allowed to have a special of a hundred and even more called in and even then it is hard to get a full number of jurors; no, there in Mexico the can- not have more than men called, of these he may reject and not more; the other will have to act as jurors in his case. five of the find him guilty, sentence will be pronounced, but in this case the will have a right to appeal to a higher court. But should all nine agree and find him guilty. is no appeal to a high- court; sentence is pronounced and carried out. The criminal is not fed u the costs of tax payers for weeks, yea months. The pun- takes place shortly after sentence is pronounced. Nor is the condemned criminal, if death pen- is the result, honored with a new suit of clothes, nor treated to fine cigars, and savory meals. He is not hung by his neck but taken out into the prison yard and shot by a detachment of soldiers. Civil cases are decided in the same way by jury. Further must give my to the law and order abiding people of Greenville- that they have done away with business, that a dispensary has been created in lieu of But it will stop drunkenness, I greatly doubt. We have in Texas prohibition in than half of of the state, and in prohibition counties and local op- towns there is more drinking done, more people are drank on the streets than where saloons are by law. Prohibition does not pt a stop to drinking, it creates hypocrites. Let go for instance So Kansas. Ins pi t of all prohibition yon find there railroad towns a number of saloons in violation of the law, as I have seen lately during a trip through that state. Reform is need- ed, bat it must begin at home. Father and mother mast set the the noble example what can be expected of a son, when the moth is given to secret drinking. Besides, the tobacco it plug smoking tobacco or cigars, will as a general thing also have a strong desire for liquors of any kind. For part I rather would like to see all traffic in liquors stopped, if it were possible, but people have always used strong drinks and ways will use them. Most of our men and women are slaves of one or other vices. Not only men should reform, giving up drinking, but also women should reform of habits which are not only injurious to health, but at the same time the ones, I mean snuff dipping etc. Lately I read a temperance song among other words were never would kiss the lips that touch I agree with it perfectly, but there ought to be added, never would kiss the lips that are besmeared with Let reform begin at home, by words, entreaties and examples, and we shall have a better, a nobler class of men and women. During my stay in North Carolina I have experienced, seen so much that I blessed the day when left Farmville and the state, hurry- back to Texas, though I found many a worthy friend out there, whom I never shall forget. In my next shall write of some of my trips on the American as well as the Eastern, of my experiences and observations to countries and its inhabitants, beginning with my last trip to Mexico last year. To those who are dear to me in Pitt county, most cordial greet- Don Lorenzo De A Farmer Plants No Corn. Some days we heard a man who is much interested in Tanning and who gives some of his personal attention to a farm nay that he had not planted a grain of com this year. He is taking the risk of his other crops, truck, cotton, peanuts and the like to bring money enough to enable him to buy his corn cheaper than he could raise it. From pretty close observation of the thrifty farmers of the community and from some study of the condition of agriculture, we are impelled to say that our friend has made a mis- take, and we believe he will find it so. We believe that whatever the price of cotton peanuts, it pays a farmer to raise his home supplies at least enough to feed his team. Buying corn, hay and other food for farm team puts one to a all the time; and the farmer who operates that system will find in the end he would have done if he had raised his own corn, fodder and hay at home. The Common wealth has for years insist e i on the home supply system of farming and . still believes in it and still insists en it. When farmers have necessary supplies at home, they find that their money goes farther and they realize more from Neck Commonwealth. Moving Georgia Peaches. at noon, the Southern Railway had refrigerator and box cars on the yards at Spencer, ready to be moved and loaded with peaches and melons, All empty, they were put into trains of seventy cars each, and during the afternoon three of those trains came in Charlotte. South of this place the tracks other things will not admit of so lung train, and the number of cars were cut to fifty to a train. This gave one some idea of the amount of Hauling there is of the to move the crop of peaches this year. Charlotte Chronicle, Many of our county courts are be- coming veritable divorce mills.
