To the Editor of Ihx Obskrtkb.
For the first time in my life I call
upon you to allow me to simply ex
press a few thoughts on the
DAMNATION OJF THE WORLD THE HELL.
PRODUCER ON EARTH.
Firet, I will ! ask, who pays the
judge's feet who pays the lawyerf
who pays f the clerk? who pays the
sheriff 1 - who sustains the court in
fsneralf The man who drinks wbis
eyr Who feeds the doctor! who
runs the penitentiary t who runs the
asylums? The mas who drinks whis
key. Who brings weeping eyes and
aching hearts to the nation? , The
man who drinks whiskey. Who de
stroys the peace of neighborhoods
and of families, and starts the young
man on a downward road, and finally
lands him in hellt The :: man : who
gells whiskey. rvVr: t:f -.'5
Remove whiskey and strong drink
from North Carolina, and one judge
and two lawyers can do the business
for the State.
Remove strong drink: from North
Carolina and ten doctors can cure all
the ills in the State; and all the
money spent as aforesaid would in
ten years build a school house and
run it in every neighborhood, feed and
clothe all the poor, buy ail the rail
roadfr and run them free. in the State
of North Carolina.
All will admit the above to be facts,
bub there seems to be a want of rem
edy, lien have tried everything in
the way of legislation and temper
ance societies; all have failed, and all
will fail.1' There is but one hope but
one way of escape j only one way
that drunkards can be cured and
bar rooms shut up and it is thist
' Let the women of the nation take
the matter in hand; let them form
into societies; let them sign pledges
that they will not keep company on
no occasion, not- under any circum-.
stances with a man who drinks.
- JLet tbe'women teach their daugh
ters from childhood like they should
teach them the catechism, to shun a
young man who drinks whiskey, and
in five years there would be greater
reform in the country than all the
temperance lecturers could produce
in a thousand years. . As for those
who are already sots, and can or will
not cease drinking, let the societies
raise bv subscription' a sufficient
amount of money to - buy enough
whiskey-to finish up air who are de
termined to go down to a drunk
ard's grave. Let it be placed some,
where and let it be free. Invite a
woman to attend the bar. Let this
inscription be written overhead :
'Drink this free and save your mon
ey to buy your children bread."
'-Women of America, this is a big
undertaking; but man having failed,
you must take hold of a falling na
tion, and by your hands, and with.
your- woras, you wm cause iaiung
an-to mase one more aeeperate ef
fort, and by your helping band, can
save-bim at last.: , . , - r
JJThis surely is woman's mission oh
earth; let them fulfill it. All creation
on earth, with all the laws that man
can make would not dp as much good
in reforming drunkenness in a thous
and years as the American , women
uia aom nve.
Young ladies of Mecklenburg, if
you want temperance you can nave
it. It is in your power, and yours
alone.' fW. fV-V '; ' ; Y
Youpg iadief of Jlecklenburg, if
you wpnttaoi &erboms in Charlotte,
it is in" your powerand yours alone.
Let it be remembered that all I
have said is simply my. views, hur
riedly written. Nevertheless. I think
they are facts. Remember the influ
ence woman had over Sampson.
No more at this time . i
; . i R. H. W. Barker.
To the Editor ot TEX ObskrVIB.
As it appears from your, correspon
dent, Antt i Prohibuioni that there
are persons in the community ; who
either do not understand the princi
ples and issues involved, m the vote
for or against prohibition on the 1st
Monday - in, June, i. or. misrepresent
hem." it is aeemea , proper, ,inaB j a
short end concise statement of these
be made. The principles are clearly
defined and set forth in the resolu
tions published in your paper On the
-day of - last, from which it
will appear that the only. Issue in
volved is, whether tbe ' commission
ers Bhall have the power, td grant
license or -not. As proposed, it is a
nutation of police regulation, and no
party politics are involved in it, for
a man may; be a Democrat or a Re
publican ani vote for it. It hag
nothing to do with a third party
movement,' for the resolutions dis
claim this, and set forth its object
But "Anti" says "it will take; away
the liberty of the citizen." iWhat
does "Ani? y mean by ' liberty ! Does
he mean the power, " when unsus
tainedby lawt which an individual
has to steal, to rob, or to commit
murder? The government was intend
ed not only to sustain the power, or
as "Anti" would call it, the liberty ,
if committing these gross' crimes by
punishing the offenders, but also for
sustaining all. aots that might be
hurtful to the citizens; The legists
tion of North Carolina, acting; under
this power, has passed the local op
tion law, giving each community the
right to say whether the sale of
spirituous liquors js an evil in that
community. Now, tinder this law
the issue will have to be met by
Anta" and au wno stand with nim.
They cannot dodge the issue, and di
vert the mind of this intelligent corn
munity from it, by talking j about,,
taking away liberty," whiskey tax
ee and destroying Ungraded ; school.
"Anti" may he a good representa
tive of his side of this questioivbut
he is very reckless, and from his
statement as to the amount of tar
es paid to the city for. licenses he sees
double. He saya that they,
(liquor dealers) "pay' into" the
treasury of the city - $31,000, levied
by the aldermen of the city as li
cense tax for the privilege of selling
in the city, which amount is directed
by law to go to the support- of the
graded echools now carried on in
this place. Now,, this statement . is
made from inexcusable ignorance, or
it is misleading. Your city treasu
rer states that the liquor license tax
is about $6,000, and that not one cent
of this goes to the support of the gra
ded schools, nor is there any law that
directs that it should go to them.
The city tax paid to support the gra
ded school is raised by one tenth of
one per cent,, levied upon the as
sessed value of city property, and
30 cents on the poll.
The revenue derived from the
liquor license go into the fund to pay
tha police and other city expendis
tures under the treasury, in a great
measure by the granting of license.
Now, Mr. Editor, if "Anti" had de
sired to learn the truth of the mat
ters about which he has undertaken
to enlighten the public, the books of
the city treasurer are always open,
and he could have obtained it there,
and, as he did not, he stands convic
ted of the charge of this inexcusable
ignorance, or an attempt at misleads
ing bis readers. Either horn of thfe
dilemma will satisfy a discriminating
public that he bad best turn his en
ergies into, some other channel. The
question for eaoh voter to ask . him
self is thi? s How can I beet discharge
my duty for the good of my fellow
man, for the good of society and for
the service of my God t The issue is
upon him, and he cannot " escape it,
and if he will answer it at the bar of
his conscience, and not at some other
bar, we hare no fear of the result. :

THE EIGHTS OB" FREEMEN VERSUS PRO
HIBITION. ' -
The Charlotte Observer of the
9th instant is before me.
There is an affirmative and nega
tive side to all issues of public policy.
But as to the great "magna charter" '
of our liberties, as laid down in the
'Bill of Rights," prefixed to the Con
stitution of this glorious republic of
States, united in one supremo gov
ernment, all tending to maintain and
preserve and ' perpetuate the liberty,
rights,' privileges and immunities of
her every citizen , there should be but
one side the affirmative I ' have
chosen and speak for the affirmative
of this great question the people's
rights as guaranteed to them by the
Constitution of the United States.
I desire to call attention that my
wish is to dal in facts. These facta
may conflict with the views of others
equally as well qualified to judge as
myself for all ao not ; see alike in
this mundane life. . 1
If every person could view things
from the honest, patriotic "stand point
that the great and good men did that
thought out and pennedjouthe."Bill
of Rights" and the "Constitution" of
the United States, then their ideas of
the rights of their fellow men would
be quite different, and they would
cry out. '.'Liberty or death 1 Chains
and slavery." There would not be
found in this glorious land today,
men looking through the long nars
row tube of Prohibition, through
which they see the one! and only
thing that has absorbed- all other
good questions of heart and band
i. e., '"Local Option;'' which is to
prohibit freemen from exercising
those guaranteed rights, guaranteed
by the Constitution of this great
commonwealth. '
. Look at the promises from which
Our forefathers thou noble . patriots.
thou great, good and wise men, the
framers of the "maena charter" ef
American liberty see the conclusion
they drew from the word "liberty.'
Their "Bill of Rights" saysj
That all men are born free and
have certain unalienable rights: life,
liberty and1 the .pursuit of happi-.
ness." :
.. The Constitution says in Article
XIV, Section 1, in the Amendatory
Sections of said5 instrument;? "No
State shall make or enforce any law
which shall abridge the privileges or
immunities of citizens of the United
States." And further on it says as to
the - rights of citizens : .. As to
his business - or calling, he may
do ' that ' which . suite
best his interest or tastes." To this
liberty, to these equal rights, privi
leges and advantages, do we attribute
our rapid growth and power..;;. .
,Now understandinefy, I consider
and take the ground that no law can
be passed by the States that will con -flict
with the Constitution of ! tha
United States -as quoted before :: ,-Nq
State 'shall make or enforce any law,
which shall abridge, etc." ' Do you
not wish to abridge the .privileges bf
the agriculturist, when you say; that
he shall not; manipulate his grain
grown on bis own farm, in the man
ner best suited to his interest.. If he
has a large surplus and the markets
are remotely Bituated under these,
and under other situations he would
have the right to distill his grain into
spirituous liquors, and place it upon
the markets' of the country. I This
then gives him a legitimate right to
sell it, and the buyer also has a guar
anteed right to sell it to the people,
under such laws and restrictions as
the State or States may think best for
the common weal cut this does not
prohibit the manufacturing or sale of
spirituous, vinous or malt liquors.
I contend that is a mistaken ' idea,
that the manufacturer and seller of
spirituous liquors are to blame for the
drunkenness now in the land, 'but
consider it owing to the loose morals
of the country, and to the gluttonous
habits that the people; have fallen
into, which " produces the .frightful
evil of - intemperance. . We have a
population of 10, 000 f in Charlotte,:
in which city we have eight churches
for the whites and a like number for
the colored people this makes six
teen in all which gives an average
number to each church of "625 souls:
This number for each pastor looks
to be small, and appears to me that
if the shepherds of these flocks wero
to use the diligence, zeal and perse
verance that they should, it would be
an easy task to convert these way
ward children and put them; in tne
paths of rectitude, uprightness. sobrU
ety and virtue. Teach them orally that
they are destroying their own souis
and rendering their wives, c" children
and friends miserable on account of
their drunkenness, and that they are
an eating .8orerrupon seciety--frdwn
down boon them as you would upon
a stubborn child and make them feel
their,: uu worthiness. Teach; them
tljat e.etV needs them " to carry on
the o priit wr.r'x ci "..Christianity,,
and once taught they will be ? an
ornamentinstead of a blot on the sos
ciety of their fellow-mem The argu
ment one of your correspondents uses
is not a parallel case, :- wherein he
says "suppose a man should erect a
large commodious house, contiguous
to the writer's and fill it with nitro
glycerine, would it not be declared a
nuisance and steps be taken for its
immediate removal?" Such -acts as
this, is, and ought to be contrary to
the law because it endangers the life
of myBelf and family. But in the
case of liquor dea'ers this is not the
case for the individual citizen goes
into then place of business and calls
for what he wants and it is given to
him ; so the fault lies with the man
wffo drinks the spirits and , not I the
man who sells it. Suppose a man
would go into a hardware store 'and
buy a gun tor pistol and then goes
out and kills himself by shooting the
top of his head off? In this case; on
whom does the blame fall?; On him
or the: hardware dealer? . 'He is the
fool, and not the man . who . sold the
weapon. - This is what I consider.a
Sarallel case with the liquor dealer;
Tow you ought to prohibit the hards
ware dealer from selling those wea
pons of destruction ; because with
them; thousands and thousands of
the citizens of this country have been
put out of existence.
So if you prohibit one of the trades ;
you might prohibit the other.' But
my opinion is, that both are useful to
mankind when used by persons of
discretion, with great care: both for
their own good and the welfare of all
their neighbors. : : r
I am not advocating . drunkenness,
but I am scoring a point for temper
ance, -i As St. Paul says, "be temper
ate in all things for the drunkard,
the murderer.fornicator and adulter
er cannot enter int o. the Kingdom of
Heaven." As regards the lowing of
taxes for the support of States, coun
ties, cities, etc. It has been one of
thoge problems of civil goverment
that has taxed the brain of our great
est statesmen. - The object they all
had in view was to lighter the bur
der of taxation on' the necessaries
of life and place the weightiest on
the luxuries. Spirituous liquors are
consider edjone of the latter things as it
comes io for it's full share. Drive
it ' - out of the country other
articles then will have tp bear the
burden, Another supposition is" that
if you prohibit the manufacture and
safe of spirituous liquors, some other
evil will take its place. How would
you like the opium smoking dens of
the Chinese? Both are now in this
country, and are established in New
York city, the place from which ev
ery good and evil is disseminated; it
being the great metropolis of our
continent. Well, this being the case,
look out for the Chinese evil. lYou
no doubt have read the horrors sta
ted in the newspapers of the day
I'when young, beautiful and accom
plished ladies" which walked in the
best society were enticed into these
dens, when they became fascinated
by indulging in a few whiffs from the
opium pipe. They were (using their
own language) "carried into elysium
fields by this ambrosia of the Gods."
The habit once formed, reduced them
below that of brutes, and destroyed
their after life of usefulness by rend
ering themselvea unable to resist the
attacks of the lustful man. How
would you like this state of things
here in your beautiful South? This
would be the result if ardent spirits,
vinous and malt liquors were aboN
ished, Choose between the evils.
No sane person would like to have
the Chiaese opium junks established
here. History always repeats itself.
What has been done in former -days
and places will be done again. It be
comes contagious, and whole socie
ties partake of the infection, both
male and female. -
The writer does not desire to get
into a controversy on this question
of "Liquor or no Liquor." His ob
ject is solely to protect- the rightts,
privileges and immunities of every
Citiaen. He will aid all good citizens
in promoting temperance and uphold
ing all law or laws that may be pass
ed to secure that result in our com
munity. X- yy;
If there are any citizens so weak as
to commit suicide by excessive drink,
the following lines of Burns are aps
propriate to nim:
