township in the State, and to this end
the friends in each county not organiz
ed are urged to call a meeting as soon
as practicable, ana appoint county ana
township executive committees, con
sisting of such members as they may
deem necessary, and that they place
themselves at once in communication
with the State prohibitory committee.
2. That this convention recommend
Saturday, the 14th day of May next, as

perfect permanent organizations : Pro
vided, That if this day is not conve

ing at some other early date.
3. That the counties are urged to

tion, to whom shall be referred, with

J3y order ot tne commuiee,
T. E. Skinner,
Chairman.
The following were appointed as the
committee of seven : Dr. Wilson, JN . 15.
Broughton, P. A. Cumming, T. (J. Wil
liams, E. K. Dudley, of Craven, X. T.
McKethan and Joi. J . i a nomas.
The committee of five on resolution!
are as follows: ut. sinner, jtriut.
Johnson, of Rowan, Nicholson, of Dti-
plin, E. H. Simmons.
The appointment of these committees
was followed by brief addresses from
delegates and visitors, wnen tne con
vention adjourned to meet at Metropol
itan Hall, at 9.3 a. m., Thursday, and
attend the mass meeting at tne nau
that evening. The opening speech was
made by Col. J. P. Thomas, of this city.
The News and Observer thus refers to
this meeting :
-By 8 o'clock, when the mass meeting
began, the hall, both floor and galleries,
was packed with an eager and most at
tentive audience, conspicuous, among
which were a number of ladies. Men
prominent in the State, in religion, in
politics, were seen everywhere and the
assemblage was notable for this reason
in addition to others. It was a repre
sentative assembly, an honor to North
Carolina, and of which any State might
well be proud. The colored people, who
nearly filled the galleries, and occupied
many seats as delegates, Were notably
tittcntivG "" '
CoirThomas, principal of the Carolina
Military Institute, made the opening
speech, and a powerful one it was,
couched in beautiful language. The
speaker went Over the .whole ground
HUGH SISSON & SONS,

Besolved, That the money thus raised
be devoted to thedissemination- of ap
propriate tracts on the subject of pro
hibition and of other useful documents;
and especially to the paying of the nee?
essary personal expenses of such able
earnest canvassers as the committee
may decide to provide for: Provided,
nevert7ieless,Th&tthe convention doth
hereby record its judgment that not
one cent should be used in any way not
justified by the highest ethics, private
or public.
A resolution inviting Hon. A. S. Merri
mon to address the convention at 10
o'clock was adopted, when Messrs. Dun
can McNeil, H. A. Gudger and C. J. Mont
gomery were appointed a committee to
make known to Mr. Merrimon the
action of the convention. ,
At 10 o'clock Dr. 8. Si Satchwell, the
talented president of 'the North Caro
lina Board f Health, began the deliv
ery of a masterly address, or rather
lecture, on the evils of intemperance,
particularly as considered from a med
ical standpoint His address was at
great length, and went over the entire
? round, leaving no point untouched,
le showed the' effect of liquor upon
the mind and th&. body, giving in the
course of his remarks statistical infor
mation which proved conclusively that
King Alcohol was the prime mover in
the attack on human good and human
health. Insanity,, idiocy, aberration of
intellect, etc., were plainly due in in
great part to past or present use of
liquor, and this could be seen by any
one who looks at the records and re
ports of the insane asylums. Then, as
to the effect on the body A thousand
diseases follow in the train and are
concomitants of the use Of intoxicating
drinks. Bright's disease, heart disease
and apoplexy are but a few of the
countless physical dangers which fol
low the use of the deadly draught
But the drinker not only injures him
self directly, or lays the foundation for
diseases, but prepares a legacy for his
children. So deadly is this demon,
liquor, that the Legislature which
orders a skull and cross bones to be
placed upon every bottle of poison
might well order the same emblem to
be placed upon every bottle or barrel of
liquor. Dr. Satchwell went on to give
statistics, gleaned from facts in his
personal observation as a surgeon in
the Confederate hospitals. Alcohol is
father of disease, parent of pauperism,
breeder of discomfort, and seeks but to
destroy alike the health and happiness
of (its victims. As president of the
State Board of Health, it was his duty
to warn the people of his State of the
awful dangers of drink, bodily and
mental. But it went beyond these
dangers, arid the amount of social suf
fering and' disaster caused by it were
beyond the reach of human calculation
or human estimate. But few families
but had a skeleton in the closet, and
could tell dreadful tales of what love
of liquor had done for those near and
dear. What was needed to put a stop
to this thing which was sapping the
life blood and the enemy of the social,
moral and political world V It is
prohibition and total abstinence. We
must put satan behind us if 'we would
save ourselves and protect society.
As friends to the human race, as citi
zens of a great commonwealth, we
owe this duty. Man is and always
must be his brother's keeper. We
must close this awful fountain of dis
ease and death, nor will the humanity,
the State pride of our people be satis
fied until liquor is swept away, and
sobriety takes its seat on that throne
which drunkenness has so long occu
pied. It is a shame to individuals and
to society that we have not long ere
this cast away the influence of drink,
and proved our Saxon courage in this
regard as in other things. North Car
olina is behind some others of her
sister States in this matter. Our jails,
our penitentiaries, are filled with crim
inals, over half of whom are brought
to their present condition bv the use of
liquor. These are not fancies, but
facts, but plain facts, patent to any
close observer. He showed the effect
of abstinence in Maine, proyinsr con
clusively from the official reports that
it was marvelous in its results ior good.

ThisDrohibition touched the public pock-
L et as well as the public health, for where
it was in force taxes were reaueea to:
minimum. There were fewer crimi-,
nals and fewer courts. The voice of
every physician in North Carolina
would attest the facts that had been
stated to-day for they were only too
'painfully and sadly aware of the dread
work ot the destroyer.
The address was listened to with the
closest attention. At its conclusion
calls were made for Gov. Jarvis, who
took the stage amid great cheering and
applause. Col. J. P. Thomas proposed
three cheers for the Governor, which
were given: -
The Governor was gracefully intro
duced by Major McRae, and said that
he knew that a body of men was here
assembled which had the good of the
State at heart. It gave him pleasure to
witness the , proceedings, and to give
his countenance and whatever influence
he possessed to the cause. This call
Was, no doubt, as much to find out his
views as anvthine else. The public
think, no doubt, that I belong to that
class of politicians that regard this
question as a ticklish one. But I have
an opinion. Candor obliges me to say

out of the greatest incubus upon tne
public and private life of North Caro
lina. The manufacture and sale of
liauor is either rieht or wrong. If
right, the State or county has no right
to tax it more than other manufactures.
But that it is wrong, and a grieyoua
.Wrong each man's moral sense will at
once admit. He urged work , in the
cause if would be attained. The
amount of good done will cause the
heart of patriotism to throb with de
light. Peace, happiness and prosperity
will reign everywhere. The conclusion
of the speech was a model of elocution,
and there was a storm of applause long
continued. He said:

but I see melancholy victims of intem

Great applause, continued for many
minutes. Whatever may be in tiie
bill that ought to be out, or out that
ought to be in, can be put there by sub
sequent legislation or law. I think I
know something about the sentiments
of the people, and how to win their
