OUmal the In telliircnre Tliat Threw the Thin Togrther Does Not Believe Tht an Intelllxent Man In the County Will Stand For It, To th Editor . of The Oberypr: In your Issue of the 22d Instant, there appears the drift of a bill for a iricdlcal dep'oaltorjf :ifor Mecklen burg county." .4 The object of tha bill, as stated, Is to take away from the drugstores the authority to sell liquor of kind on the prescription of a clan, and to lodge that authority mum is iu ue cauea av medical de pository. This depository shall be the sola place in the county whence ahy kind' or liquor may be bought.' and under the conditions laid down ln.tha bill. I , have carefully read the proposed bill, and, while space will, for bid me from commenting upon its provisions seriatim, jet; I trust you wilt, allow me in behalf of probably majority of citizens in this county td .call at tention to what that probable major ity may think. are reasonable objec tions to some pCits provisions. ; ' i Here la one extract: ''' 'That nothing In this act" shall be construed to prevent the said man ager from selling wines for commun ion purposes to the official of j any chnreh or religious society upon the written certificate of the pastor or minister of said church or religious ociety, or by the secretary or clerk of the church board thereof, duly dated and, setting forth the quantity needed for such purposes," . ,; This seems to me to be sacrilegious If not bordering- on blasphemy. Let us draw1 the picture: an official of a church starts -put on a bright Satur day morning- to the depository, hav ing Jn his inside pocket the certificate of the pastor or secretary or "clerk," whatever that max mean,- of ; the church setting forth the quantity of "whies" needed for the next - 4at's communion., why this certificate T Should doubt he raised lest the "of ficial ouW get more "wines than was necessary for the communion, and for what or for whom, ' praxL Vta-aTir'tlwenrfficlal of"a church accept or carry any auch authoriza tion or limitation t . when , his only mission would be to supply for the 4aeaaiarednes, of .jrthoijg .jimmsnt. , the symbol of what has always stood for the-, sweetness, the strength, the binding tie of Christianity namely, the atoning blood of the Lambf The horrot jof the proposition is too much to allow me to dwell upon it furih- r. It amounts simply to this: - -;3r fymaa to ofn cia 1 : ' BreMw -A take this note to the depository nd get some "wines for our communion: pository to be sufficient for the cleansing of the communicants, of sourse it would be his duty to cut ft down, and the waiting conarrega Won would have to get along as bent it could. In my Judgment. It would be better, as was seriously proposed in Charlotte and other places, some twenty years ago. to aervs butter milk for communion purpows rather than to go through this astonishing performance. Again: "Section 3. That. -the. board of county commissioners for Mecklen burg county shall, at their first meet ing In April. A. V, 10S, snd an nually thereafter, appoint some suit able and fit person who Is entitled under the laws of this State to vote In said County and who resides in the City of Charlotte, to be known as manager of the medical depository for the County of Mecklenburg, and who shall hold such office for a term of twelve .months and until his ue- I rewnr has been appointed and qualt physj. j nea in As the matter stands now, the chairman of the board of county commissioners of Mecklenburg coun ty lives about four miles out of town. I refer to Mr. V. M. Long. I The other commissioners all live from six to fourteen miles from the City of Charlotte. Here then we have this proposition that this board of Mecklenburg 'county men, all of who mllve in the country, una 11 be compelled in their election of a man ager to confine themselves to the c(ty. What can' be the meaning of such an astounding proposition? And the "who reside in the City of Char lotte" .1 so neatly and parenthetical ly thrown Id, that there must be some deft meaning In- it.- Are all the 'man agers of depositories necessarily renl dents of the City of Charlotte? We have la mind' some very good men who live In tha county, who would make good managers. Who la going to pay for tha inauguration of this plant? It seems that It will come to the county o do this.

This is not written for the purpose of forecast ing any charge against anybody, but It is valid to' say that In South Caro lina, where the dispensary had the greatest swing, the graft was In pro portion. To quote from an editorial In Collier's Weekly of January 21d: "Only when In the second stage of the Investigation, Chrlstensen and Lyon opened up the affairs of the central dispensary board, and showed that the whiskey firms and their allies had stolen at least J3, 000. 006 In five years, did Tillman withdraw from his position, and lose interest in tha great moral Institution. Again, from this editorial: "The before day to the trembling wretch "Hest your head upon my breast, my w in, and be a man again." Beer! that divine compromise between the stupid, blue-lipped prohibitionist and the wild man of the spree, steps upon the wild waters of the soul, with Its "Peace be still." Beer! Thou hoary and philosophic friend that has walk ed so modestly among men, giving offence to none and going Into tha back doors of the most uplrltual, when Valear sold Portnor's beer, that refuge of the saints, because Its odor vanishes almost with a sign, and puta the soul (without knowledge of its neighbor) race to face again with Its God.

It should be observed that If this liquor Is given "for medicine only," and the language of the bill shows this to be disingenuous for no per son wants a quart of liquor "for med icine only," as a rule. Why should all this paraphernalia be gone through with? Is It so with morphine or cocaine which is doing more harm the country over now than whiskey why not have every prescription given by a doctor made a 'record by the with possibly one exception, that does not contain over t per cent, of alcohol.

But to our bill: The provisions of Section 14 strikes at nothing short of an attempt to make hypocrites both of the physician and his patient. Hsre it is: "Sec. 14.

" Ooldsboro, Jan. 12. -After deliber ating for 15 hours, tha Jury to-day rendered a verdict of not guilty of the charge of murder In tha second degree In the esse of Basil J. Bow den. charged with the homicide . of Ira W. Hatch. In the early morning of Thursday, December 17th, In the Town of Dudley. This case has at tracted attention from all part's of tho county, and It was thought here last night that It would be a mistrial. It was reported that the Jury stood I to 4 for acquittal late last night. Tha case went to the Jury about 7 O'clock yesterday evening after Judge Lyon had mude a strong and Impartial charge. His honor stated that. If the Jury believed the defendant's testi mony, Bowden acted in self-defense. against It until Senator Chrlstensen and Representative Lyon turned a white-washing commission into a real Investigation. They registered In Btate documents evidence of open corruption in nearly every county dispensary in South Carolina. Yet. when certain counties, roused by this exposure, started, prohibition cam paigns, Tillman came down from Washington and took the stump for the dispensary" with the result as given In the first quotation above.
