except to serve as Senator Reek's as

self last session, and he has not been

evident that there will be no tariff
law enacted during the present Con

entitled to the credit j of forcing: the

What an Argument !
"Durham is stirred up over the lo
cal option law that is not enforced.
The illicit traflic in whiskey goes on
shamelessly, and is bearing fruit in
lawlessness and disorder. Raleigh,
Wilmington, Asheville and other
cities, where the sale of liquor is
licensed, is in the full enjoy rrient of
peace, quiet and general sobriety.
The contrast is a significant one, and
presents the anti-prohibitionists
with an arugment on their side of
the question." Asheville thlizen.
Wherein is the argument?!; Is it
in the fact. that the local option law
is violated ? Then you have an ar
gument against every law upon the
statute books. Is it in the fact that
the people are indignant at the vio
lation of daw? Then you have an
argument against the peace and or
der of society and against the law
loving and lawr-abiding everywhere.
The anti-prohibitionists may be able
to frame an excuse out of this condi
tion ofaffairs, but don't let's dignify
it w ith the distinction of argument,
for argument is reason, you know.
There is' another strange lesson
taught, at least by inference, in the
above paragraph from the Citfyn. It
is this : That peace, q u iet and general
sobriety follows license for the sale of
liquor I in any community.1 3ly !
My ! Did you ever hear of any
thing so absurd before ? "Peace,
quiet and general sobriety" where
men sell liquor and where men drink
liquor and -in consequence thereof
bring themselves to ruin, body and
soul, and inflict suffering and heart
aches, andsometimes brutality upon
those that they should love and pro
tect and support ! "Peace, I quiet
and general sobriety" where a man,
impelled by the passions created by
the accursed drink, stabs a fellow
man nigh unto death ! When license
for the sale of liquor brings "peace,
quiet and general sobriety" rivers
will run up stream, water will burn
and fire will quench thirst.
Errors Corrected. j
I A correspondent of the Asheville
Citizen, referring to the efforts that
are being made in Durham to put a
stop to the violations of the local
option law, falls into errors which we
will point out after giving the follow
ing paragraph from the lettec:
"In two; elections Durham voted
the "dry" ticket by a majority of her
citizens. For some months there has
been an open and shameful violation
of the local option laws ; indeed, to
such an extent that it resulted'in a
public meeting, just held, in which
there was an enthusiastic uprising of
the law-abiding citizens and they
formulated resolutions saying the
violators -must stop and 7ia "stop their
illicit traffic. Embraced in the reso
lutions was one appointing a com
mittee of fifty citizens whose duty it
shall be to wait upon the low and
secret groggeries about town ; notify
the keepers and warn them to stop
immediately, and if this warning is
disregarded, forcible means will be
used. The fight is on and it is a
vigorous one. Many of these liquor
sellers have closed "up and skipped
out, in the hope ol returning to busi
ness when the Superior Court ad
journs. I Some who have already
been indicted journej-ed off .to an
other county, but the strong arm of
the law, is fetching them in. 7i
ftantrr capiases are flying around and
the faces of some of these men are
now daily seen Sim the court room.
I will cite one instance : A man in
dicted for violation of the local option
law, was required to give a S 100 bond
for his appearance at court this morn
ing. Half an hour after he gave
bond he skipped out, leaving his
bondsmen to hold, the bag. The
wires have been made hot and by
the time this falls under the eyes of
Citizen readers he will be back in
Durham to show cau?e for his be
havior." The correspondent is mistaken in
saying that the resolutions adopted
by the citizens' meeting made it the
duty of the committee of fifty "to
wait upon the low and secret grog
geries about town; notify the keepers
and warn them to stop immediately,
and if this warning is. disregarded
forcible means will be used." Such
a statement will have a tendency to
injure our community in the eyes of
the world, because it ma&es it appear
that ur citizens have resolved , to
resort to lawlessness and violence in
orderj to put down . lawlessness.
Such is not the case. .'The. circum
stances are -very . aggravating and
while there may be difficulty m re
straining passion in the face of Out
rageous and presistent violations
of the law; in the defiance set against
the will of the people as ex pressed
at the ballot box; in' the failure to
get the offenders severely punished
after they have been convicted yet,
with commendable forbearance, "the
citizens of Durham propose to stick
to the law, withoujt recourse to vi
olence. .
The resolution of instructions to
the committee of .'titty is as follows:
'That a committee of titty be ap
pointed to carry out the wishes of
the law-abiding citizens of this town,
as expressed in this mass meeting,
and that, they be empowered to act
in any way that in their judgment is
best." -
A little reflection ought to show
that the law abiding citizens of a com
munity are opposed to violence and
that the judgment )f Titty law-abiding
citizens would not declare such a
course to be bed.
While this is true, it is also true
that the law-abiding citizens of Dur
ham are determined that the law
shall be respected and enforced and they
will continue their efforts in this di
rection until the desired end is ac
complished or it is shown beyond
controversy that justice and the en
forcement of law cannot be secured.
