18,787 WHISKEY PRESCRIPTIONS. Why Frohibition is a Farce Order I Charlotte. Charlotte News: Since the 8t: day of July 18,787 whiskey pre scr in*ins have been filled by th Char~>tte drug stores. Putting th average charge of the doctors fo writing prescriptions at 40 cent each. this will show that the aboli tion of the bar rooms has added t, their income during a period o less than six months just $7,518.8c or a yearly average of $15,o37.6c Placing the amount purchased of each prescription at 8o cents, thi will show that the drug store have done a whiskey business in th same length of time of $15,o37.6c or an annual trade of $30,075.2c Combining these amounts paid t< the doctors and the drug stores, i will show that $45, 112.80 is spen annually for whiskey in the dru2 stores alone. These figures will show that i I pays to be a drug store and a doc tor in Charlotte. No. 7.

Majority of Eleven for the Dispensary Protest Notice AAgued. - Union, January 6.-The boar of county canvassers met here thi morning for the purpose of car vassing the vote polled at the elec tion held on December 27, 190; the issue being the establishmen of a dispensary in Union count) It will be remembered that the elec tion as reported at the time, resulte in favor of the dispensary by a ma jority of eleven. On opening th boxes this morning the board tab ulated the returns of the manager of election and found that coun correct. Another purpose of the meetin today was to hear the argument on the contest notice, which wa filed at the first meeting of thi board when an adjournment wa: ordered till today in order .to giv< opposing counsel opportunity ,to se cure evidence. This matter came up this morn ing and Messrs. R. H. Welch, o Columbia, joined Messrs. J. G Hughes and B. F. Townsend in re sisinig the application of the con testants for an order declaring th< election ~void. The contest, is bas ed on allegations that at nine ou of fifteen boxes of the county elec tors were allowed to vote withou producing registration certificate or tax receipts, and in some in stances that men registered at on' precinct were permitted to vote a another. The contestors filed thei answer today dehying all the alle gations of the contestants, and al leging that at fourteen boxes ou of fifteen mnen who voted "Agamns Sale" were allowed to vote with out producing- registration certifi cates or tax receipts and that a other precincts men were allowe< to vote "Against Sale" who wer< registered at other precincts. When the pleadings were pro duced affidavits in proof of the al legations of their contest were sub mitted. This kind of proof was firmly and forcibly objected to b: Mr. Welch, who insisted that th< witnesses themselves should b< produced and sworn. After a grea deal of argument pro and con I was finally agreed that adjourn ment be taken till tomorrow an< that in the meantime subpoenas bi issued for witnesses to appear 11 person and the board accordingl: adjourned till tomorrow. Inciden Itally it may be remarked that th contest has greatly stimulated th desire of the voters to secure cer tificates of registration. The boar of registration was also in sessiol today, and crowds of men were a day seeking to be registered. "Dlayor Bumping" New York Tribune.

The bellman clanged his bell for a orde. : the charter of the borough .' was read, and then, seized by stal wart arms, the mayor was lifted ' and "bumped" quite hard sev ral _ times on the top of the post. Then (came the turn of the aldermen in j order of portliness, each being well ' and truly bumped to the entire sat a. isfaction of the people standing arotnd. But the climax was reach- ! e ed when the inspector of police, 20t e with his sergeant and men, was per subjected to the same process. With lav helmets flying and tunics all awry each man was lifted and deposited, .. none too gently, on the apex of tax h the post. The process was repeat ed at every point of the boundary, so that when the ceremony was fin ished many prominent citizens had every reason to remember for a ex n long time to come exactly where i the borders of Dunstable cease. a After this performance there was haz another interesting to a great teF: many-the tasting of the ale and 1 the solemn pronouncement .of the of d "ale taster," a prominent member era d of the town council, that the ale ahl was of "good quality and as- cau size."
