Ist tsblela Ther Wsm Ctatle. sua4 Which There Csmle! b ho Beply. Yesterday was a political field day in Charlotte. The anti-prohibitionists had loaded np two of their biggest guns to the muzzle, and they proposed to anni hilate the opposition side of the all absorbing controversy. Hon. Charles Price, ex-Speaker of the House of Rep resentatives, and Hon. J?. E. Shober, ex member of Congress, were expected to bear the banners to victory. Early in the day the cohorts began to assemble, and it is not our fault that a large pro portion were of the dusky variety. In fact, the colored man, who has no in terest in the measure beyond the mere privilege of paying out the earnings of his daily labor for whiskey, seemed to be taking the most prominent part, and he it was who crowded around the stand and cheered the speakers most lustily when a happy hit was made. At about 11 o'clock the crowd gather ed at the Mint yard, where a stand had been erected. At the appointed time the speakers, accompanied by Mr. R.B. Ray, United States deputy collector, Mr. J. W. Brown, government store keeper, and Mr. W. H. Bailey, took the stand. It turned out that Mr. Bailey was more useful than ornamental, for he it was who introduced the speakers. Mr. Price was first introduced. He is a pleasant and forcible speaker, and occupied over an hour in a strong and logical exposition of his viewau- About fifteen minutes of his opening remarks were consumed in laying down the grounds for his argument, which were not afterwards deviated from. What, he asked, is the question before the people? Before any man can cast his vote intelligently this must be as certained. It was not a question of temperance, of reform, of morality, as the prohibitionists were so fond of as serting, but simply and purely whether the people would ratify the bill the Legislature had passed. And what was the bill? It was 'the most infamous measure ever attempted to be foisted upon a free people. It was robbery; it was a proposition to one portion of the people to rob another portion of 61,200,000 worth of property. This bill he was going to discuss and he defied any man in North Carolina to stand up and discuss it with him. If a railroad was to be built and the laud of private citizens was to be taken for the purpose under a charter from .the government compensation must first be made. But who was going to pay the owners for the hundreds of stills which the ratifi cation of this law would virtually con fiscate? It was a provision of the con stitution itself that private property shall not be taken for public pur poses without compensation to the owners. Which one of these prohibi tionists was going to put his hand in his pocket and pay these men for their property. And with what kind of face could the government, which had en couraged these men in investing their money in these industries, now turn round, and, without warning, destroy their property. The prohibitionists were fond of asserting the principle, "The greatest good to the greatest num ber," but equity and justice supplement ed the provision that injury was done to no one. This was the principle. Let him hear no more about the miseries and evils of intemperence in this dis cussion. They had nothing to do with it It was simply the question wheth er these men were to be robbed of their property' by the ratification of this bill. " He denied that whiskey was a poison or even an evil per se. In its abuse and not its use lay the evil. The bill itself admitted that it was a necessity. The bill itself admitted that it was neces sary to have it in the State, to buy it, to sea it and to use it then why not make it also ? Why prohibit its manu facture in our own State and encour age the making of it in other States by sending abroad for it ? Why prefer the tangle-foot, rot-gut, bust-head stuff made in Ohio and Indiana to North Carolina distilled liquors which were the purest in the world. Then again wny aid toe oui mate an exception of wine? If whiskey was an evil wine, was none the less so. It took a man longer to get drunk on it, perhaps, but it took him four times as long to get sober. Why this inconsist ency in the bill ? Was the wine inter ests greater than the brandy-making and wniSKey-making interests t surely not. And yet the bill proposed to fos ter the one and destroy the other. One of the great arguments of the prohibitionists was that crime was on the increase and that 75 per cent, of it was caused by whiskey. He would re fute this by the record. He had the statistics of the penitentiary at Raleigh for several successive years and they utterly failed to substantiate this as sertion. These statistics he quoted at length. The prohibitionists would say they did their stealing while they were dead drunk, he supposed. So he went on to show that in '78, ia, W, tne records demonstrated the same thing. only the number of criminals decreas- edeach year wnue uie population oi the State increased. And now how can Judge Merrimon and others stand up in the race or tnese ngures ana say crime was on the increase. It was wrone. an unmitigated wrong and in justice done the whiskey men. . . j m l i ...M V. n Ana now u wuisney was au ovu, uo asked, was it politic to remove it by means that would prove a greater evil. This measure had been thrown as a firebrand among the people when all were at peace, and now what do you find? Division among the people and the parties, brother arrayed against brother, the minister of the Gospel against his parishoner. He had, warn ea his Democratic brethren against the measure, but it had been in vain, ana he felt and expressed gloomy presenti ments for the near f uture or tne party. Where were the leaders in this hour of distracti&n? -Why did not they, whom the party had a right to ' depend on, come ouVm the face of day and aav what was right in this matter. But no, they stood aside with folded arms while fundamental principles of law and order and good government were attem nted to be Invaded and there the people would leave them standing When they woJr.e to tne consciousness that'they had shirked their dity in this crisis. !

TWa thft ftnti-Drobibition speak ing was concluded hand-bills were dis tributed on the street announcing that at 3 o'clock Mr, Lutber'Berison would redly to the speeches at the Mint yard, and about that time a large crowd made its wsty to the courff nouse, Decauseraiu was apprihended.

RanBon commenced his speech, but in order to accommodate the woi'li who wete designs pt hear- ins mm. tne audience aaiourneu w w,? First Presbyterian church yard, where flneakerfe atanrl had been 1m Here the sneeoh was resumed, and eon- tinned for about an honr and a half. : l This report has grown so long, and so much has been said in-these columns about Mr Benson's speeches that we can not attempt even a brief synopsis. We must say, however, that the arguments of the two preceding speakers were lit erally riddled. He pointed out -the merits of the ' prohibition bill and showed what prohibition had done in other localities where it had been tried. His answer to the point made by Messrs Price andShober that the prohibition bill was "robbery,' was sublimely grand. He turned to the colored people, a large portion of whom had followed him, and told them that the government had confiscated 62,500,000,000 worth of prop erty in their own freedom, yet he dW not suppese they objected to that. He then related touchingly the end of a once prosperous Pittsburgh (Pa) me chanic, who died a drunkard, and claimed that not all the money paid into the Federal Treasury as a tax on whiskey, nor all the property that would be confiscated in the event of the adop tion of this bill, could pay for this one man's soul. Thus, one by one, he tore down the wall of argument erected by the anti prohibition speakers, and the large au dience left the church yard satisfied with the day's work. . Summing up, we may say, that those who are arranged on the prohibition side of the controversy felt that another battle had been fought and won, which will tell heavily on next Thursday. Accident to a Young- Lad jr. The Columbia Register says : "Miss Gertrude Williamson, of Columbia, met with a severe but not serious acci dent on Monday while riding on a stage from Asheville to Hendersonville. A wheel of the staee eot detached, when the vehicle was upset; and Miss Wil liamson, who was riding on a high seat, was tnrown to tne ground,and narrowly escaped death. We learn that she is receiving attention at Hendersonville, and is not in a dangerous condition." Miss Williamson is a native of Char lotte and her many friends here will regret to hear of her mishap, and hope soon to hear of her complete recovery. A Bane Faln.ood. Yesterday's Charlotte Observer knocked into a cocked hat the report that Benson got drunk in Charlotte. It is a pity that The Observer should spoil the schemes of some parties who would like to destroy the good effects of Mr. Benson's work. Greensboro Bat tle Ground. We were not aware that such a report was in circulation. The man who started it started a deliberate and wilful false hood without the shadow of founda tion. We were in Mr. Benson's com pany before and after his speech, and heard all of it, and a soberer man nev er stood before an audience, or plead more touchinely or zealously for the cause he represented. CUnrch Note. Rev. A. A. Boshamer will preach to his old congregation at the Tryon Street Methodist church to-day. Kev. J. II. Summerell will preach at the First Presbyterian church to day. Rev. J. F.

Hunter, of this county. when passing Alexandriana the other day, saw a mule coming towards him at a rate of speed which led him to be lieve that a runaway had occurred. After proceeding a short distance he found a single-tree lying in the road, and in a few minutes Mr. Jas. Brown, a tenant of Mr. Puckett, came up in an excited manner and told how near he had come meeting his death by the ac cident Mr. Brown had been plowing the mule in a patch in which a tree of considerable size, which had been dead ened, was still standing, and when nassinsr under the tree he heard it crack several times, and on looking up dis covered that it was falling. He gave the mule a cut with the line and almost simultaneously the tree struck his plow. breaking off the handles aDout six inches from Mr. Brown's hands, and smashing the plow all to pieces. The mule was slightly injured Dy the tree, but Mr. B. escaped unhurt, and the worst frightened man that has ever been seen in that neighborhood. 1UE C0NCOBD SPEARING. More About Dockery and Benson, and tlie Speeches ia Cabarrus !ai Friday To the Editor of The Observer. According to notice Oliver Dockery delivered his speech against prohibi tion. He arrived last night Upon his arrival W. R. Odell, chairman of the county prohibition committee, and C. It. Montgomery, met mm ana asKea for a division of time. He granted the re quest, and stated his own terms which were accepted though not considered fair. At once Luther Benson was tele graphed for and a message in reply re ceived that he would be here, by 11 o'clock a. m. Dockery s managers, however, reconsidered the matter, and declined to allow Benson to reply, say ing that h,e was a stranger and had no business here interfering with our State affairs. The agreement of the night previous was urged, but Dockery and friends would not hear Benson in re ply. At the appointed hour the brass band escorted Dockery to the place of speaking, and for an hour or . two he labored nard with a crowd that seemed restless and anxious to get away. In the mean time W. Q, Means, our mayor, was authorized to give $100 for a reply and he did accordingly offer the mana ger, W. W. Robinson, that amount if he would allow Benson to reply. Robin son, after consulting G. W. Patterson. positively declined a reply. ' So tha you can see ma every uouujrauie meas ure was resorted to to present our side of the question', but it was not allowed. When 'Dockery concluded Col. Means announced to 'the crowd from the stand that Benson would address them upon prohibition at the court house, and an swer the arguments of Dockery. As soon as the announcement was made the crowd surged through the streets just like a panic stricken people, until every available square inch in our large court room, left unoccupied by the town ladies, who were seated an hour before, and waiting, was perfectly crowded. In a short time the speaker- arrived, and as soon aaoraer coma do restated, Benson 'commenced one of the finest efforts that the good people of Cabarrus ever listenea to. lie was on the Ground and took notes of Dock ery's feeble effort, and he began to rid dl his aromment. I cannot attempt to describe his manner. You have t)eard him and can form an idea of how the thing went. Pbr twb'and a half hours beheld that' vast, crowd motionless: those who did not cry, laughed for joy. I started to tell ho! w ugly they treat v4 fl ft Q Rtandfos up tp, JEhe ternis. or cue previous aay. ana want it here ex pressly .understood that 1 have not ex aggerated the matter, and refer to our mayor ror ine irntn oi me oner ot . one hundred dollars ior so minutes time to renlv. And I call jnpon any good citizen of this county here to-day to say that I misrepresent Oliver's perfect failure here. And when I say, further, that a great many came here in sympathy with the anti-prohibition movement and went away convinced that they were rong, and that they wonld vote and do all in their might to help the cause of prohibition, I speak the truth. This was a field day for the prohibi tionists of Cabarrus, and long will the anti's remember it - Pro. MEN OF MECKLENBURG. AN EARNEST INVOCATION THE WOMEN. FB09I The Following Appeal Censes from the Edlee Prohibitory Society, Which Now, Besides Its Officers, Numbers 500 of the Women of Char lotte. ToVhe Voters of Mecklenburg County: Before another week shall pass away your votes will determine whether the traffic in intoxicants shall close forever in Mecklenburg county or not Recog nizing that our true sphere is not the Eolitical arena or public places, but the ome, the fireside, and the privacy of the domestic circle, yet we cannot be insensible to the fact that the issuerof this election is freighted with vital in terest to ourselves and those most dear to us. We have, therefore, not deemed it improper to make a last appeal to the manhood of our dear old county to de liver us from the evils of the whiskey traffic If we are deeply moved in this mat ter, it is because the poisoned shafts of the great enemy of our race have en tered our own hearts. If unusual earnestness has marked our efforts in this behalf, it is because we are fully sensible that a treacher ous foe stalks in our midst, ever seek ing an opportunity to strike a blow at the peace and happiness of the inner circle of our homes. Constrained by the impulse of holy love, which God has planted in the ma ternal bosom of animals as well as wo man, we appeal to the true manhood of the men of Mecklenburg, to shield and protect the innocent boys and un tried youth of our county from the baleful influence of strong drink by banishing from our midst the licensed bar. In the presence of this great ques tion, the issue of which involves so much of happiness or woe in this sor rowing world of ours, we beseech you, men of Mecklenburg, to sink all per sonal differences, all objections to the law, and forgetting the bitterness and unkind feelings engendered in the heat of the campaign, let every one who seeks the good uf his fellow man unite in this effort to banish from our fair land this plague of strong drink. Brave men of Mecklenburg, it is the cry of woman, suffering woman,, that bids you to the contest with the evil which has brought this suffering upon us. Be but true to yourselves and the generous emotions of your own hearts, and our appeal shall not be in vain. By order of the society. Mrs. S. M. Howell, Pres't. Mrs. H. N.
