Circular Issued by Anti-Saloon Leader
To the Temperance Workers of North
. Carolina . - : .
Inasmuch as there is a demand al
ready upon ug to furnish petition
blanks for use in our temperance wof k
before the Legislature, we herewith
append a form that may be used with
whatever modifications desired. C
There is no doubt that the sentiment
over the state at this time is demand;
ing the very things mentioned in this
petition, and we suggest to those who
want to see our legislature take early
acton, that they immediately " write
out a petition and get the friends of
the cause throughout their' neighbor
hood to sign it in the next few days,
and tnen send that petition to the N,
l. Anti-baloon League; Wilson. N. C.
This will insure its getting before the
legislature. "v. j

Even the Cabanas eoanty ebaia
gang has taken an "after-the-boli.
days" lull and if eonditiont dont
change the county authorities will bo
inserting want ads tot. laborers to
keep the work progressing. Then -are
now only 23 eonvirti at the gang
and in a few weeks several of these -will
"skidoo," leaving only 12 to keep 1
up the good work or road building in T
Cabarrus. The outlook from the '
standpoint of securing more convicts
to replace tbe one whose sentences .
have expired is, we are glad to say,
no less encouraging, as there are only
three prisoners in jail, one a colored .
woman, and only a few who are no- -der
bond to appear at court Out of
the list of probable candidates for '
the gang, the wise one at the court
bouse have picked only two, who,
speaking oaseballieally, will make
good, which will increase the number
to 14 when court meets the 30th of .
this month. : ' .
The conditions at the chain gang
strongly indicate that crime is on the .
decrease in the county and if it con
tinues to diminish at such a rate eon-
viets in Cabarrus will be rare sped-'
mens.
Announcement is made that . Mr,
George Hackney, , presdent ; of tbe
