I 1 London, Mzrch 29:-"We are hting Germany, Austria and drink, d so far as I can see, the greatest ( these three deadly foes is drink," d David Lloyd-George, chancellor the exchequer, replying today to deputation of the Shipbuilding nployers' Federation, who urged a 1 ;al prohibition of the sale of intox- ^ iting liquors during the period of k ; war. The deputation asked that 1 ; prohibition should apply not only public houses but also to private ibs, to operate equally with all sses of the community. It was stated that despite the fact it work was being carried on jht and day, seven days in the ] iek, the total working time on the 1 Erage in nearly all British ship- ? rds was actually less than before s war, and that the average pro- 1 ctiveness had decreased. There | ire many men doing splendid and ] enuous work, probably as good : the men in the trenches, but 1 my did not even approximate full , ne. i Notwithstanding the curtailment the hours they are allowed to ep open, the receipts of the public uses in the neighborhood of the , ipyards had increased. The case a battleship coming in for immedii repairs was cited. She was dered a day by the absence of rivet- ! rs, who were drinking and carous- ( In conclusion the deputation, which i duded representatives of the lead- < j shipbuilders of the country, ^ ed the example set by France and i issia and urged drastic action. 1 The chancellor said the reason why 1 ?Government had not taken more j astic action on the liquor question is because it needed to be assured . at it was not going adverse to j blic sentiment. The Government < ist feel that it has every class beid it when interfering with indiiual liberties. But now he was re that the country was beginning realize the gravity of the situ- j on. 1 ? ] Heard at Hebron. i Hebron, March 30:?Rev L E | eler filled his reguiar appointment , nday, having a very large con- < egation.

I TWO NEGROES ARE SEVERELY j BEATEN AND STABBED BY THE "REGULATORS." , . 1 Morrisville, March 29:?Again 1 there is a commotion among the 1 colored population. Monday night I a party of "white-caps" went to a i I little town South of Nesmith known i " ' ?? 1 U-4. 1 . as bJutora ?own anu ueiwccu x \ I and 2 o'clock a. m., paid a visit to j Redmond Bluford's house, took him j?iT out and gave him a severe beating. 1 ' This is the first time that such an i occurrence has happened in our ( i neighborhood. A good beating it S I was, too. The negro's face was t bruised up pretty badly, one tooth 1 knocked out, two more loosened and ? his back beaten into a mass of c j bruises. Redmond Bluford is a bad, 1 overbearing, "sassy" negro and c probably gave ample provocation s !for the lawless deed on the part of t the "white-caps." 1 Saturday night before a crowd of men, including white and col- i colored, gathered at Warsaw, about S six miles from here, and beat up Alex Scott, a helpless and inoffen- c 8ive negro boy, who had done no \ one any harm and was well-behaved f r' generally. Yet he got beaten over i the head until he is a sight, besides 1 \ being badly cut. He is stabbed over f j> the heart, in both shoulders and in 1 his back. The wound over the t | heart, it is said, but for the knifeblade striking a bone, would have I \ killed the negro in his tracks, but 1 1 he is getting along very well now. I w Bad colds and la grippe are pre- f p valent hereabout. Mr and Mrs J M [ Godwin have been quite sick, but at ^ f, last reports the latter was better. i J ' The severe cold weather has got i v the grain crops looking kind of sick. \ Also gardens are backward. t \ Farmers around Morrisville are e U busy hauling fertilizer, six car-loads i f : having been unloaded here last t X week.

Coroner Kinder and a jury com posed of Messrs w it weicn, n n King, M H Plowden, J P Wheeler, lohn M Brown and H E Parham held an inquest Monday morning aver the death of Morgan Fulton, the old necrro who was discovered in bed early Wednesday morning with his throat badly cut, and who died from the wound Thursday afternoon. The witnesses were composed only of the inmates of the house on the night of the cutting and were all members of the Fulton family, who claimed that the old man cut his own throat; but the jury declined to believe their stories and held Rosa Fulton, wife of the deceased, and her daughter, Mamie Daniels, for the action of the grand jury. On last Saturday Coroner Kinder took Mamie Daniels, Fulton's stepdaughter, out of jail and quizzed her severely as to how the cutting occurred and as to the whereabouts of the razor used. Finally she consented to produce the razor, which 3he had buried beside a little outbouse in the yard. The blade of the razor was still covered with blood. The woman insisted at this time that Fulton had cut his own throat and that some one took the razor out of his bed and handed it to her, telling her to hide it. The three negroes who were lodged in jail Saturday on suspicion as being implicated in the affair were ordered released by the Coroner. Itr H. Brltton Fleeted Alderman.
