A correspondent desired at every post office in Pitt and adjoining counties. Pitt N. C, 1904. PLAYING FOR The Raleigh Post of Wednesday contains this remarkable statement. two antagonistic boards operating competitive dispensaries and each board indict- the other board for selling liquor illegally, N. C a peculiar situation, lated to furnish some highly inter litigation. Col. Harry United States district attorney, an i from Green- ville, his home, yesterday and re- ports that the people of Pitt county are greatly wrought up over the dis- muddle. The former alder- men in Greenville elected a board and two of the it is charged, did not vote for the dispensary. Later when the new went into office they elected a different set of dispensary -commissioners. Now both boards have a dispensary in operation and are that the other board is acting violation of the If looks like a man might go as fur its from to and i i i.-.-r the fa n tilt- . . r It-It the New and Observer for on its The agitation now is purely a play, hoping to create discord in the democratic ranks and make republican converts. It is well known that the former saloon keep- of they fought as long as there was any hope, as was not now in this light. When they found out they were beaten they gave up and closed their business at the time prescribed by law. So the opposition now to a legal dispensary is purely a fight under republican generalship, and we want to ask if the good demo- of Pitt county are going to low themselves to be duped by it. Re patient, you will learn who it is after a while. They took plenty of time in their work at St. Louis. DISPENSARY ft BEST.

It is true the present board of aldermen, knowing that the acts of their predecessors in appointing dispensary commissioners were gal, ad an ordinance removing them. They also proceeded to point a legal board of commissioners and now preparing to open and conduct a legal dispensary. It is also true that the illegal dispensary refused to stop their illegal sale of liquor after being ordered to do so, and they have no more prominent backer in this unlawful conduct than Col. Skinner himself, who is assuming to stand them and harm when they get to the Superior court. It is further true that no one is tore elated over this inter, titan Skinner, republican district attorney, and he is attempting to make all the capital possible out of it. It is astonishing, however, that there are some others, men claiming to be good democrats, who through the hope of lifting; themselves into office are his willing tools- Too blind to see through his scheme, they rash forward to execute his orders given from the rear, then wait for him to go to Raleigh and get farther orders from to The Recorder, of Raleigh the organ of the State Con- published a on the 6th, that being the anniversary of the paper.

C, Editor We plain country people down here have been very much disturb- ed over the many reports that have been circulated by the friends of the saloons, or we might more properly say the enemies of the dispensary in Greenville. We have been told that it was a blow at the rights of the plain country people; that one half of the taxes from the bars went into the county school fund but that all the profits from the dispensary went into the town school fund. It very naturally worried us to feel that our democratic legislators would make any changes that would take from our already too scanty school fund. This has gone broadcast over our section, and a great many have become embittered against the dispensary and warm to the democratic party for allowing it. We plain country folks realize while the largest per cent of us are poor in purse that we are the of as much patriotism and integrity as any other class, when the country needs from the enemy no other class the same number of men quantity of supplies. We naturally ask ourselves why our democratic representatives allowed such done us Upon inquiry f those learned in the laws, placing our grievances before them, they ex- plain by as that we lied to by wholesale. That the profits from the is equal divided between the county school fund the town school fund,. They tell us if the dispensary pays here as it does in other towns like Kinston, Wilson, Henderson, Clayton and Raleigh, that in stead of getting eleven hundred dollars from the bars for the town and eleven hundred for the county, we will get five thousand the county schools and five thousand foe the graded the town from the dispensary. What fool had rather have five thousand dollars than eleven hundred Further we are told that judges and solicitors of state courts say the lessened crime party, the only party for the deer, element in the to affiliate with, but alas when the troth is found out, I cannot but it will help us. No person or party has ever yet been injured by the passage of laws that improve the morals of the country. If the dispensary lessens crime as our judges and solicitors say it does and thereby decrease taxes, and the profits from it trebles the taxes de- rived from the open saloon and in this way gives us three dollars for educational purposes when we get one, how can any good citizen object to it It will be a sad day when our people prefer ignorance whiskey and vice to schools and morality. We are told that Kinston reports for the first fix months profits six thousand against three thousand for the entire year from saloons, Wilson, Louisburg; Clayton and Raleigh have done better. If this is true PUt will do as well when all the obstacles are removed that have been placed there by its enemies to prevent its success, Jack Democrat.

May it continue to increase until there is not a saloon left in the state. The saloons in Greenville have been closed a week, yet the change for the better in the moral tone of the town is so pronounced as to be the subject of general comment. The Pike shows at the St. Louis fair complained that the convention was the biggest attraction and took the crowd away from them. saloons were voted out of both Charlotte and New Bern by large majorities.
