THe Salisburj* correspondent of

that paper the following bit of
infcferoation tmder date of March
27th:
As predicted in this cora?espond-
ence the day followin.g I3ie meet-
at Hendei-son several weeks
ago in behalf of local se2f-govern-
ment and which was addressed
by Mr, W. A. Self of Hickory^a
similar rrseeting is t«) be held in
Salisbury within the next few
4,900! weeks aud Mr. Self has been .in
vited to address this gat:liering
also. The mass irteeting has al
ready been decided on and the
invitataon to Mr, Self bears the
signatures of abo\at half a hund
red dti;:ens of the city, many of
them being leadirt^j busiivess men.
As is -ft'ell know® this move has
been .iriaugui'ated looking to the
abolition of the present prohibi
tion iaw and the’ inauguration of
local option. This meeting tx^ be
here will, if possible, have more,
signiticance tha’n the Henderson
gathering, foi-at was here that
the opponents Jsf State-wide pro-
hil&ition maint^ned headquarters
dulling the fiesee campaign which
pmeeded the ceiectioFi and it was
hei’e that the-y ^chose their chair
man Whe® ’ihe meeting is held
there is no dmibt bs.it that ftbere
wail be a tremendaus gathering,
ofitha'se in ?^ympathy with the!
nK>venient, iSor they will be daawn
fKam a half dozen counties, ^here
ace those, fbowever, and they
ha«e expressed themselves, who
doabt tbe aS^visability of reraving
tbeissue and eiigaging in ^aiaoth-
er saampaig©:at this timen. They
believe two\v;earsJiencem>i^d be
a mere opp^une time. It is said
in the invitattion to Mr, ^elf
these do^ »ot aE^ar the ;Rame
otja single individual who was

Points-Read
Wlbat The News^ Say*.
There is not & Republican news-j
_ aper published in this State
that is not bitting witli every
jK)wer in their might at the
State prohiMtion laws. While
they do not come out and say
that they are in favor ^of every
body getting drunk, and whilel
they do not come (xit and say|
that they are in favor of ev«ry
body havissg whiskey and more
whiskey, yet they are using
every known argument, quoting
every statistic that tends to
bring the law into disrepute.
From all this it is not hard to
conclude that di^ring the coming
campaign they will favor the re
peal of the State prohibition
laws that have been enacted.
They will say that the law is a
failure, that blind tigers are
flourishing on .all sides, and that
the Coventry is going to the bow
wows. ;
They will >not attempt to t^ke
from :^e statote the laws against
xnurder because murder is being
^committed Itey will not suggest
erasing from the books the laws
against immrrality because there
are ammorai people, they will
not attempt to destroy the laws;
against steaSng beca»se theJlaws-
^are being violated daily, yet they
wilheome before the people and
demasid the irepeal «f the pro-
hibitien laws ^because iit is bfflng
violated.
The prohiMrtion question is :a
liv6‘(jaestion. It ha« not beea
settM, but we want to say right
now, that a iking step has beaa
taken, and if it were ®ot for the
i>natjonal lav^that alipw whiskey
'ship]^ in fi»m other states, w&
cwoiild be practically exempt
tfrom the liquor curse One
Sias b^n taken. The laws am

jeting like the one held in the
lik-ribbed Democratic county
jVance some days ag'O, advo-
ling the repeal of the pro-
jitien law, and this, too, by
leading Democrats of the
ity. Will The News t^ll its
Iders whether it was a Re-
[>lican or a Democrat who
jde the principal speech upon
p occasion. The News knows
gentleman very well, because
same gentleman made a
lech in this city during the
Ihibition campjwgn, and will
News tell its readers v/hat
liing Democratic paper sent a

It the only defender of the

In your issue of March ,16th, I

this seems to be some what" ex

the gentlemen who are to have
this work done would consider
the territory of the southern part
of Alamance, which has been en
tirely lef|; out of all consideration
of any road improvements, niame-

Bflt Here are the Facts.
There as notaBepublkan news

There are many, however, who
are pointing out the lax enforce
ment of the same. The News
even does this itself, as we will j
show further on. The News
cannot blow hot and blow cold at |
