'? ' . Charlotte Und?d the 1(\< Stals
convention of the Christian Church.
Returning delegate* tell of a most
spirited ""fight" which developed on
the floor of the convention at Pan
tego. Charlotte was represented by
I two bualneea men, whp pressed their
claim 10 vigorously that tfeo conven
tion reversed the report and selected
Charlette. An interesting feature
of the matter is that Charfotte at
praMnt hae no church building or
' organlaaion of this particular reli
gious body.. It la reported and the
representatives at Pantego claimed
that there are fifty or sixty, members
among the leading and most Influ
ential people In Charlotte, and that|
as the convention had been regu
larly meeting l!f the eastern part of
the 8tate It was nothing npore than
right that it should go to the west,
or central portion nest year. They
contended that It was selfish on the
part of the strong eastern churches
to want to -monopolise the conven
tions and that by going to Charlotte
next year the cause in that section
of the State would be greatly
strengthened. Their "talk" prevail
ed in spite of the strong protests of
other delegatee.
The Pantego church where the
convention just closed, was held, hrl
one of the oldest In the brotherhood.
It is said that Alexander Campbell,
one of the founders and pioneers of
a movement once held a mcetine,
there. The delegates were enter
? talaed in true old Tar Heel style.
The boards were laden with all the
good thing* to eat Imaginable and
"dyspepsia" talk was strictly out of
ordsr.
An automobile party visited many
placss of interest en route, among
them being Bath, where the oldest
church In the 8tate Is still standing,
and in. perfect ?t*ts of preservation.
It to said that this structure was
erected in 1735. Many old papers
and magazines of the - eighteenth
century were on exhibit there. The
old Marsh houso was also visited.

Work lii effort to LIdc Up Suf
ficient Votes to Submit Queatloa
to the People.
(By Parker R. Anderson)
Washington. Oct. 23. ? A deter
mined effort is 10 be made by admin
istration leaders In Congress to re
move the liquor Issue from politics,
s:cording to a current rumor hero
j today.
. While neither Majority Leader
Claude Kitchin nor Congressman E.
V Webb, chairman of the Judiciary
committee, are In Washington, it la
Ibateu on good authority that either
| Mr. Kltchln or Mr. Webb will roin
tnduce Into the bouse the Hobson
'amendment for the submission of a
onstit ut'ena' amendment providing
for nationwide prohibition.
This measure will have the sup
port of the Anil-Saloon League of
America, which tried to put It
through (he house iaBt Congress and
falltd by a narrow margin. The
Democratic leaders arc now inclined
(o beUeve thai tin? "wets" In Con
gress will also support the measure
In order lo throw the liquor ques
tion back into the stateB, where (hey
are more confident of holding their
own than tfiey are in Cdhgress.
Ever since the defeat of the Hob
son resolution last session, the of
ficers of the Anti-Saloon League of
America have been busy in an effort
to line up aufliclent votes to put It
l through the house shortly after Con
gress convenes again in December.
I They are now confident that they
I have the votes. From sources cloBe
to i he league. It was learned today
:hat It will concentrate Its efforts
at the coming session wholly upon
two projects. One Is the Hobson a
mendment and the other is tli N meas
ure to make the District of Colum
bia dry. The league believes that
ir will be able to put both measures
igh. is officers feel that the
r* <: light lies in the house. where
tli r-.argin 1* close. In the senate
:h?','' *alm to li^Vw-c more lhaii a two
hir?K- majority.
Dry leaden* today asserted that
the resolution' proposing A constitu
tional amendment against the liquor
trad e will go through Congress eas
ily. They sa'd that many of the
ho.dovr members who voted "wet"'
Inst year have hoard from their dis
trict h so that they are now repemt
nnf and ready to vote "dry" at the
earlleRt opportunity. Also they said
that a cHnvHSu of the new in rubers,
mostly Republicans, showh an over
whelmingly sentiment among them
I In favor of the submission of the
question to the states in order to
got It out of Congress one and for
all
j These leaders have been paying
c'oae attention to the activities of the
i opposition and they have rrached
the conclusion that the wetr. have
reached the point where they d> not
wnnt any further discussion of the
liquor question In Congress. It la
contended by the drys that the weta
feel they can prevent two-thlrda of
the states from adopting the amend
ment. On the other hand, the drye
are so confident they can bring the
adoption of the amendment within
a few years. They point out that
| once an amendment Is actually sub
mitted to the states It is always be
fore them nntil adopted. It la never
formally rejected In a aense and It
at first sufficient states do not In
dorse it, It still remain* before them
for consideration. Changes In voteq
either for or against would be pos
sible even after all states had voted
upon the proposition once, accord
ing to the drys. Through Che pro
cess of elimination, they believe that
upon the submission of the- amend
ment, they will soon be able to con
centrate the liquor fight In a few
states and that not many year* wll.
elapse before the people vote for
national prohibition under the two
hifd rule.
