Wilminzton Anti-Saloon Forces Decide to Make Fight On Dis pensary Issue. THE MEETING LAST NIGHT. eoplca of Printed Petltloaa Calling for aa Election Will be Sobtalftedto Voters Te-day Sooethlar of the Pro vlaloaa of the Watta Law. By unanlmoue vote the Wilmington Antl-Baloon League, at a called meeting last night at the Y. M. O. A., decided to thoroughly canvass the city, through its Executive Committee for the purpose of securing tbe required number of petitioners to call an elec tion upon the liquor question, under the-provisions of tbe act passed by the laat Legislature, commonly, known aa tha Walla Law. The laauea will be both upon the eatabllabment of a dla penaary and the licensing of distiller ies within the corporate limits. The decision of the League to begin the fight waa after a long discussion aa to whether or nit the time waa opportune for Ue throwlne out of tbe skirmish linea; whether it would not be better for the present, at least, to accept a high license compromiie; whether the maatea were sufficiently aroused or whether Ue enemies of the open saloon were sufficiently well organized to reasonably expect suc cess. The decision waa at length in the affirmative, and to-day membera of tbe Executive Committee from the aeveral wards, with such asalstanta as they may enliat, will begin an active canvaaa for signatures In their respect Ive wards. The meeting last night waa held In the library of the Y. M. O. A., and be tween 35 and 40 sympathizers, Including a good delegation from the clergy, were present. President Phi lander Pearsall waa In the chair and Mr. W. B. Cooper, th) secretary. kept a record of the proceedings. When tbe meeting was called to order Rev. J. N. Cole, by request, very courteoualy stated that the gath ering was supposed to be ore of persons interested in tbe promotion of temperance. At that suggestion, not wiahing to intrude and having very naturally responded to the authorized notice of the meet ing In Ue newanapert, MeeareW. H. Uoleman and U. w. joinder very gracefully retired. Tbe meeting was then opened with prayer by Rev. J. L. VIpperman, of Brooklyn Baptist church. President Pearsall Uen very condeely elated the object for whioo the meeting had been called and de clared In order a discussion of Ue aubject la hand, which, aa haa been stated, waa Ue propriety of letting on foot a movement for the elimination of the ealoon and dlatlllery and the eatabllahment of a dispensary la their stead. Mr. Cooper read the draft of a printed petition for circulation, which he laid had been drawn by an attor ney and war, therefore, according to law. The petition 1 as follow: Petition to be D resented to Ue Hon orable Mayor and Ue Honorable, Ue Board of Aldermen or tne city oi Wllmlnrton. North Carolina, under eectlona 7 et. aeq. of chapter 233 of Public Lawa of North Carolina for the rear of 1903. for Ue aald govern lnar board of aald dty to order an election to beheld ander the pro visions of aaid act. to determine: (L) Whether Intoxicating llquora ahall be manufactured in the aald city of Wilmington, NorU Carolina. (3.) Whether dispensaries shall be established in aaid city of Wilmington, North Carolina. To ths Honorable. The Mavor, and Board of Aldermen of the etty of Wilmington, JSonn varoiina: The undersigned being one-third of the registered voters of Ue city of Wilmington, North Carolina, aad who were registered for the preceding mnnlcinal election, petition tbe Hon orable, the Board ofAldermen of the city of Wilmington, North Carolina, to order an election to be held, after thirty (SO) daya notice, except within ninety (90) daya or any city, county, or general election, to determine: (1) Whether intoxicating nquora ahall be manufactured In tbe aaid city nr WllmtnvtAB. North Carolina. (11 Whether dispensaries snail oe tahliihed In the said city of Wil mington, North Carolina. Mr. a F. Hall aaid before under taking a movement of tbe kind in hand which would entail a hard-fought contest tbe Lsague ahoald be. very certain of Its' ground; If Ue move ment Is undertaken something should ba done to arouse a favorable public sentiment Speakers should be preaa ed lato service and everybody ahoald go to work. That oplnloa was ihazed la by othere, which prompted eome of the leaders to remark that State Or ganizer Hlnton, whole regularly em ployed by the State organization for that purpose, had written Uat he would cheerfully respond to any ap peal but Uat Ue greateat need for hla services would be when tbe requisite number of signatures has been secured and Ue campaign Is fully oa. It waa alao stated Uat the local organization had lta eye upon an available mana ger for the camgaign but all that would come on later. Mr. a a Moore, of Fifth Ward, waa of the opinion Uat Ue time waa ripe for aa election aad there was daa- . . . IV. ger or too muea ripeness n mjo matter waa deferred. He made a motion Uat Ue petltlona be pro mulgated at once, Mr. J. W. Barnes, of Flrat Ward, waa averse to tne dlaoenaary Idea and aald a good many people ahared tha aame view. They preferred not to become partlea to Ue aale of liquor by voting 'dlpen aary,w but would rather have absolute prohibition. However, personally, he would ataad by any movement adopted. Tarboro bad voted dispen sary two years got but now It had 17, 1903. 1 - . ' . . , T turned back to the open saloon. The dispensary was a fruitfu breeder of blind tigers. Mr. Barnes' objections were controverted by Rev. J. N. Cole, who also auggeated that what is to be done must bs .done quickly so aa not to throw the election Into the Christ mas holidays. Several suggested that the flrat battle was with the Board of Aldermen, a majority of whom It was feared, was opposed to a dispensary election. Mr. R. E. Blake would not have the leaders forget the value of personal work. The name of every voter should be taken with his views on the que tion and those lists should be submit ted to the campaign committee at each meeting wIU a view to more strenu ous effort. Mf. R. H. Beery suggested that the committee should look well into the matter of registration and technicalities in the way of the elec tion. Rev. J. a Marshall and others spoke along general line?, asking per tinent questions and throwing out suggestions about the plan of action Mr. C C. Covington counselled con servatiam and referred to the mag&i tude of the undertaking. While" be waa Infavor of no compromise, the question of high license and more atrlngent regulations in the way of closing hours, elc, was regarded by many good people as a proper solution for the present Mr. Covington urged that phase of the question both before and after the vote was taken. Rev. J. L. VIpperman renewed the motion to proceed with the petitions at once and the motion was adopted by a rising vote. Mr. Cooper said in encountering objection to the dispensary, a strong argument was that half the net profits would go the school fund, providing n estimated revenue of $16,000 for the schools, whereas all that tax now goes to the Stale. Tbe other half goes to the city, yielding just as much reve nue aa at present. The machinery for the circulation of the petitions was then discussed &rd upon motion of Rev. C. B Paul, tne matter was left with the two members of tbe Execu live Committee from each ward, with instructions to enlist auch helpers as they desire. The committee ia as fol lows: First Ward O. C. Rice and J. B. Taylor. Second Ward W. H. Sprunt and J. U. Gore. Third Ward B. F. Hall and R H, Beery. Fourth Ward R W. Price and W. M. Cumming. Fifth Ward Geo. a James and J, a Fales. Copies of the petition were handed last night to those membera of the committee present and copiea were sent by persons present to absent members of the committee. Rev. J. a Marshall introduced Rev. S. F. Con rad, representing the North Carolina Baptist, of Fayettevilie, who made a brief talk commending the League for the action taken and urging the importance of organization. Provisions of Watts Law. The Watts Law under which it is proposed to hold tbe election is printed in the Public Laws of 1903, a copy of which is in possession of any magis trate. The opaning sections of the act make it unlawful to sell or manu facture liquor except in incorporated towns, except by ' druggists on prescriptions, and in no case without license from town and county author- Itiea and preccribing penalties for the violation. Section 7 makes it the duty of the governing body of any city or town to call a local option elec tion upon petition of one-third of the reglatered voters therein, who were registered for the preceding munic ipal electionr Thirty days notice of such election is required and the same is not to be held within 90 days of any other public election. The options to be determined are (1) whether intoxi cating liquors may be manufactured (3) whether bar-rooms or saloons shall be established or (3) whether a dispensary ahall be eatabilahed. The total prohibition issue will not be sub mitted In Ue present instance. Such elections can be held no oftener than once la two years, and they are to be conducted under the same rules and regulations provided by the laws of North Carolina regulating municipal elections.
