CHARLOTTE NEWS-JANUARY 7, 1903
LEGISLATION
BY ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE
Will Seek To Have Sweeping
Reforms Instituted in This
State Anent Sale of Liquor
Raleigh, N. C, Jan. 7 The follow
ing are the features of the temperance
legislation proposed by the Executive
Committee of the North Carolina Anti
Saloon League in session with author
ized representatives of the North
Carolina Methodist Conference and the
Baptist State Convention:
1. Prohibition of sale or manufac
ture of intoxicating liquors outside of
incorporated towns. Prohibtion of sale
of liquor in towns of less than .500
population, whether incorporated or
not. Prohibition of manufacture of
liquors in towns of less than 1,000 pop
ulation, whether incorporated or not.
The distinction is made between in
corporated towns and unincorporated
communities because incorporated
towns are organized and policed. It is
made also to protect the rural districts
from the saloon. It is made also to
protect the towns and cities from being
surrounded by saloons. The distinc
tion is made in respect to population
mainly to prevent the evasion of the
law by the incorporation of saloon or
distillery settlements. . . ',.
1. Local Option elections in incor
porated towns of more than 500 inhab
itants at any time upon 30 days notice
and upon petition of one-third of ths
qualified voters; provided elections
shall not take place oftener than once
in two years.
In such elections the question of sa
loons or prohibition, or saloons or dis
pensary, or dispensary or prohibition,
may be submitted as peitioners may
request; only one question at an elec
tion, however.
3. Prohibition of the importation of
liquors by any means into prohibited
or dispensary territory. '
4. After July 1, 1903. all applicants
for license to sell or manufacture liq
uors shall present with their applica
tion petitions in their behalf signed by
a majority of the qualified voters, save
in those towns and cities in which be
tween the date of the enactment of this
bill and July 1, 1903, an election shall
have been held and carried for saloons.
These propositions are clear, and
need no exposition. They look to the
suppression of the saloon and distillery
in the rural districts, and to local op
tion elections in the towns and cities
in the near future on a fair and rea
sonable basis. There should not be a
saloon in any town or city unless the
majority of the people expressly call
for it.
The people of North Carolina are
entitled to this. They have long been
opposed to the saloon. They have nev
er had a fair chance in a struggle with
it. They have been hampered by the
ignorant vote. They have stood in fear
of division. But these things are now
passed. And now that they are passed,
the General Assembly should freely
grant the people's petition for a fair
opportunity to grapple with the evil
that in their long affliction fastened it
self upon them.
Especial attention is directed to par
agraph four. That calls for the recog
nition on the part of the General As
sembly that the people of North Caro
lina are moral people. The saloons
now exist with the consent of the peo
ple of North Carolina, but solely be
cause conditions have prevented the
moral forces of the State from assert
ing themselves in elections against the
saloons. Every intelligent public man
in the State knows that this is true.
It is but reasonable to ask now that
the patience of the people be reward
ed, and that the true attitude of the
majority be recognized. Is it unrea
sonable to presume that the saloons
should not be opened unless it is ex
pressly voted by the majority to open
them? Is it more reasonable to pre
sume that the people of North Caro
lina desire the saloons recognized as
ruinous, as the sources of all manner
of crime to go on with their work un
less they vote to the contrary? To be
sure, he does violence to the character
of the people who holds that they favor
saloons and that saloons must exist un
til they have been voted out. One dees
not ask a good man if he loves virtue.
Thousands Hare Kidney Trouble
and Don't Know it.
How To Find Out.
Fill a bottle or common glass with your
water and let it stand twenty-four hours; a
sediment or set
tling Indicates an
unhealthy condi
tion of the kid
neys; if it stains
your linen it is
evidence of kid
ney trouble; too
frequent desire to
pass it or pain in
the back is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and blad
der are out of order.
"What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get ;up many .times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root Is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
If you need a medicine you should have the
best. Sold by druggists in 50c. and$l. sizes.
You may have a sample bottle of this
wonderful discovery
and a book that tells
more abcut it, both sent
absolutely free by mail.

Don't make any mistake, Dui re-
nember the name, Swamp-Root, .Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the ad
dress, Binghamton, N. Y., on every
bottle.
PROPOSED
l
His character is answer. One who be
lieves in the people of North Carolina
will say that the people desire the sa
loons closed, and he will not ask the
people to prove this, but will bid the
saloon men disprove it. This is just
what paragraph four calls for. It is
fair; it is representative; it is reason
able; it is only a just recognition of
the patience of the moral forces of
North Carolina; it presents' them "with
the opportunity that they have long
waited for. In their name we ask for
this recognition and this opportunity
to vindicate themselves and those who
respect them.

Creatore, the great Italian band
leader, whose interpi'etations of the
music of the masters have won him
great renown in New York city and
elsewhere, will be here with his band
at the Academy of Music next Friday
night. On this occasion some of the
most entracing band music ever heard
will be played, the numbers being
selected from the most successful
music this band played during itz
run in New York, where it was the
music-craze all summer. Several of
the band soloists will be heard, in
cluding Mme. Barili, the prima donna
soprano of adequate merit to be one
of the features of this great organiza
tion. Otis Skinner, who has given to the
stage many notable productions,
promises in "Lazarre," which he
presents at the Academy of Music
next Monday night another fine
dramatic offering that ought to appeal
to every lover of good stage art. Mr.
Skinner has spared no expense in his
revival of "Francesca Da Rimini," the
play presented by him last season, and
he intends to maintain the high
standard as a producer that he has
achieved, with the Booker play. Mr.
Skinner has undoubtedly increased
his reputation by his performance of
Lanciotto, and established a clientele
of new admirers throughout the coun
try. His leading woman this season
will be Nannette Conistock.

Efforts of American Tobacco
Company to Control Market
Being Met With Fierce
Resistance
Dresden, Saxony, Jan. 7. The Amer
ican Tobacco Combine has formally
opened a campaign for the control of
the German markets. ,
This city, because the large opposing
cigarette and tobacco firms are located
here, is to be the headquarters from
which the battle is to be waged. In an-
ticipation of this so-called "American
invasion all the big independent to-
bacco and cigarette manufacturers of
axuuy nave iormeu a co-operative
committee for the purpose of arousing
Public sentiment against the American
Produc'ts and of invoking a boycott of
the Sods labeled with the trust trade-
ft i t i 1
mariv. 1
The trust will Work through the j
George A. Jasmatzi Company, the r
largest cigarette-manufacturing con
cern in Germany, which is controlled
by the American Tobacco Company.
Several days ago the German com
mittee held an indignation meeting to
protest against the trust's methods
and to perfect a close combination to
oppose the scheme. At this meeting
the trust was severely scored by E.
Robert Boh me, one of the largest cig- j
arette manufacturers of Dresden and
vice-president of the protective com
mittee. Appeals have been directed
during the last few days to Count
Posadowsky-Wehner, the Prussian
Minister of the Interior, and also to
the Saxon Ministry of Commerce.
Count Posadowsky-Wehner considers
that the German tobacco interests
should refuse, to sell out their plants
to the American combination. The
Saxon Ministry is attempting to enact
special legislative precautions to pre
vent the trust from controlling the
market.
For weeks the most bitter campaign
has been waged by the leading Dresden
companies, including E. Robert Bohme,
the Laferme Company, the Tuma Com
pany, the Adler Company, the Monopol
Company, the Association of Dresden
Cigar Dealers and numerous other

Gentlemen: For over four yean I
suffered greatly from a severe case
of contagious blood poison. I went
to Hot Spring, staying- there four
months at a "big expense. I then con
sulted physicians, who prescribed
Mercury. Nothing- did me any good,
in fact, the treatment proved more
harmful than beneficial. I mentioned
my case to a friend, who told me that
S. S. S. had certainly cured him. I at
once commenced its use, and in six
months could find no trace of the dis
ease whatever. This was about two
years ago. I continued S. S. S. for
some time to make sure of a perma
nent cure, and I can truthfully say I
am entirely well.

xnat 11 contains a mineral 01 any de
scription. S. S. S. is an antidote for
contagious blood poison, and the only
radical and permanent cure known. It
destroys every atom of the virus and puri
fies and strengthens the blood and builds
up the general health.
