NO. 105 WILSON MEETING EMPERAI WILSON MINISTERS TARE HIGH GROUND-WANT PROHIBITION GIVEN FAIR SHOW MANY STRONG ADDRESSES Adopt Resolutions Urging the. Pas sage of the Miller-Curtis Measure Which Knocks Out the Near-Beer Saloons, Opposes -Social Club Drink ing and Urges Upon Congress the Right of the State to Regulate its Own Liquor Traffic. Rev. W. C. Blanchard and Hon. F. A. Woodard J Appointed Delegates to Raleigh. J The ministers of the various church- es led an enthusiastic temperance I meeting in the Methodist church last evening, -where a number of stirring addresses were delivered on the sub- ject of soberness and righteousness and the evil effect and influence of the drink habit were pointed out. .It was clearly shown by the speakers present that notwithstanding the fart that the social clubs and near beer places had neutralized to a large ex- tent the good effects of prohibition, yet prohibition had greatly -reduced the amount of -liquor consumed and that if given a fair chance would eventually cause those who are ad-1 dieted to the drink habit to sober up and also remove its baneful influ- ence from the youth of-the land. The following resolutions were car ried by a rising vote and Rev. W.-C. Blanchard and Hon. F. A. Woodard were made the bearers of this peti tion to the" Legislature with the in struction to urge the passage of the Kent, hill which nrohibits the sale of liquor containing 1-2 of one per cent of. alcohol or cocaine, morphine, or other narcotics calculated to. bring J about stimulating or an unnatural condition of the body or mind. Resolutions Whereas, The near-beer saloon has become a nuisance in our communi -ty and is a cover for the violation of our prohibition laws, and, . Whereas, under the recent decision of the Supreme Court of North Caro- lina it is possible for clubs not only to have lockers .for individual use, I but also for members of the club to keep their liquors and beers m com- felon and get it whenever, they desire fon the coupon system, and, Whereas, The illegal sale of liquor prospers under the present Interstate Commerce Laws, which we believe are unjust; therefore, be it Resolved, 1st. That, this mass GE meeting approves of the Kent AnU- Mr. E. G.

Resolved 2nd. That we are in fa- vort of legislation that will deny clubs or associations the right to keep for use by their members or for sale any intoxicating liquors, believing that the recent decision of our Supreme court will tend to the organization of clubs all over our State for the purpose of supplying their members with liquors, according to the system used by the ... . . .

That a copy of these resolutions be handed to the ' Daily Times and the reporter for ThevNews and Observer for publication and also that the pastors appoint a com- mittee to present these resolutions in person to the Liquor Traffic Commit - tee of the House ori Wednesday, Janu ary 25th. . " ' ' ' . - The services were conducted by the xninisters present, . Messrs Spiegel, Shives, Blancha.! , 1: vis and Smith, some oi'. these, t: er with Messrs. F. A. Wdodard and B. F. Lane, deliv ering earnest and eloquent addesses on the subject, under discussion. The meeting was opened with a fervent prayer from Rev. Mr. Shive, while the lesson was read by Mr. Spiegel from the 14th chapter of Ro mans: "Let us therefore be subject to the higher authority." Mr. Blanchard then stated the purpose and object of the meeting, his remarks being very appropriate. He said among other things that the meeting was not so much for the purpose of insisting that the Legisla ture shall do certain things, for the members of the Legislature were Christian gentlemen imbued with the desire to inculcate the civic virtues, but to encourage them in the good work already . under contemplation and to let thetn know that we stood Denin(i them which it is our duty to do in this matter as in all others af- fating the welfare of the people and e cause cf religion. Therefore the resolutions to the Legislature would embrace the near- Degr saioon, the drinking club and an interstate commerce act regulating the jug trade ln prohibition territory, Tne resoiutions were then read by Mr shive, who made some comments on the necessity for putting the near- Deer sai0on out of the way that Uhwarted the purpose of the prohibi- t, j Hon. F. A. "Woodard followed, hear- fcil endorsing the resolutions and urge(j the eradication of the near- beer saloon He stated the prohibi-1 tion law was as well enforced as any 1 criminal law on the statute books and if given a fair show it would certainly result in great . good for the country. - . ' -. - ' . i Mr. B. F. Lane followed drawing I an imoressive word picture of : the eff ect these places have upon the vouns men whe-would scertainlynot look for them if they were not with us. Rev. Mr. Spiegel made an earnest Calk suporting the resoiutions. He empliagized the fact that tne mjniS. tr WPre renresentatives of the Lord Jesus Christ and therefore it was their duty to stay on the watch-tower and lead the people in the right way. ihe people did not want' these places confron;ing them, and yet after see ing them and becoming used to their presence quite naturally they exerted their baneful influence. nev. jsa.r.- emve tnen delivered a snort Bermon on the subject, quoting from the text that we are admonished 0 live soberr righteously and godly in -ttla nresent ovii world lnnTrins? unto Jesus, &c.

In language so plain that sometimes it was bit ter, Senator Carter, of Montan, - op posed the adoption or the resolution as reported by the Senate Judiciary Committee providing for election of Senator by popular vote. He charged Northern Senators who support the resolution with Ignojance and South era Senators with attempting to sad die upon the country constitutional disfranchisement of negro voters Mr. Carter claimed that the question of electing Senators by direct vote and of taking out of the constitution the right of Congress to make any law or regulation for the protection of senatorial elections against fraud, violence or corruption were so indis- soluby united in the resolution that the people at. the polls could not sep arate them in order to express their choice. He contended that the reso lution when sent to the. Committe on Judiciary carried only the simple pro position of having Senators elected by direct vote and that the other pro- position had been adopted as a "rider" in order to get the support of Sena- tors who favored giving to Legisla tures the right of disfranchising ne- groes. L "The;:; occasion demands plain. speech and forbids evasion,." said Mr. Carter. He said that certain Sena tors, "not content with the success obtained in suppressing the negro vote through a various variety of State constitutional provisions and legislative devices," now seek abso- lutely to deprive the general govern- ment of all power to protect the elec- tion of members of the Senate "from such fraud, violence or corruption as may taint a senatorial election North or South." He said that the adoption of the amendment would give substantial, though, limited, na- tional sanction to the disfranchise- I ment of negroes in the Southern I States "In their disfranchisement," said 1 Mr. Carter, "we now passively ac quiesce, but with this supine attitude some Senators are not content; they ask us actually to strip Congress of the power to question election meth ods and actions in so far as the elec tion of United States Senators may votes at elections to choose Senators, they will co-operate in the adoption of a constitutional amendment pro viding for the election of United States Senators by a direct vote of the people," , : ,. .

The North Carolina Association of City School Superintendents and Principals will hold Its twenty-sixth annual meeting in the city of Raleigh on January 26, 27 and 28th. The place for holding its sessions will be the city High School auditorium. This organization for a quarter of a century has proved a most potent factor in shaping the educational life of the Stafe, bringing with it uniformity, organization and strength. It was organized ln 18S5. ' At that time its membership consisted of a mere handful of the more progressive city school men in the State, some of whom were such men as M. C. S. Noble, then superintendent of the Wil mington Schools; E. A. Alderman, of Charlotte; E. P. Moses, of Raleigh, and P. P. Claxton, of Asheville. These, together with a few others, used to meet annually during the Christmas holidays in the city of Raleigh for an evening's discussion of school pro blems and methods of teaching. From this handful of a half dozen men it has grown into a well organized membership of seventy-five active, progressive and interested workers in the great field of public education. From -a purely informal gathering, of which there was no record kept of the proceedings, it has grown into an organization of such importance that it now consumes from two . to three days with a specially prepared pro gram touching upon every phase of graded school work, such as adminis 'tration, supervision, courses of study, etc. A glance at the names on the pro gram is proof that the order of work to be done at the coming meeting will be of a high order of excellence, and will be not only interesting, but con structive and able. - .
