j DEMOG RATIC PAPER IN THE COUNTS' Wolf Pit. Ur. Editor.—Two yesu ago the isswe before tho people was prohi h;tiou or no prohibition,.petitions wee circulated a-_d signed in every lownaliip in the county. A ma jority of th«* qualified vote,a of the comity signed the |H>titioua asking for the prohibiting of the manufacture and sale of l‘qnor in the county. These petitions asked that the legislature pass uu act couformitory to their petitions. Not that thry puts an act to be ratified by the people after the passsge of the law, but that they enact a law as above designated-! When a bill was introduced by our Senator Everett, it was re .ferrcd to a committee uomjxiped of twelve senators, at 1 mu in formed. Upon the presentation of the wants of the cititeus by oar two senators, Mcl-enu and Everett, the committee to u man, void a favorable report on the bill. Ou its second and third reading in the senate, as wc get it from tho roll call, but three sena tors of the fifty voted against the bill.* Was it from the justice and good features or from the \ieuonul iuflaeuoe -of our senators that brought about tbia almost unani mity in tho vote? Certainly not tba latter, though they nad the respect and confidence of their brother senators,' but the groat , benefit to accrue to tho people of not only this county but to those of many others near by located. The bill as passed by ths senate without tbs dotting ot sni or crossing of a t, was transmitted to the Rouse. Hera tli« test came. Bafora the house committee ap pearad Uiang oj^ou£j»e>jtftijgM net oulr oltiiia county, but there were those from'Scotland, Robe* • son, Bladen, Cumberland; Moore, Chatham, Montgomery, Union, and Marlboro, 8. C. This county sorfounded by twenty-five otoer counties, all save that of one with prohibition, felt a like interest with Richmond. If oor senators and representation had all op posed this bill the other counties would bavepassod the prohibition bill asked far by the people. Theu why this groat cry and commotion on this law tbat is fixture. A Inw that will not be repealed though are elect representatives opposed to-prohibition. Tbs citizens of the county will do well to (tap and con rider, elect a man opposed to prohibition in Richmond county, and you will hay# representatives who can ac complish nothing—who » ill not hare any influence ns a legislator Tbe result will be if tbs county may want any legislative enact ments, they wHI b- forced to do tbia through a member from some othe: county. ’‘Quietude.” The AhmuiIuii.
