THE PROHIBITION MASS
MEETING *
——■ »
At 62 o'lock Tuesday Judge
Lyon gave up the court house to
the advocates of the prohibition
movement, and the meeting for
that hour, as advertised, was called
to order by Dr. John IX Biggs who
introduced Governor Francis J).
Winston as a man known and res
pected by every one in Martin
County, who would address the
people and introduce Mr. John A.
Gates.
Governor Winston stated that
his first vote in bis native county
was cast in ISBI for prohibitiqn;
that in that year every body most
was against the proposition; and
now every body most is for the
bill. That he would not now dis
cusi the various phases ot the pro
position, but would say that it has
a phase for every man to talk
about for the minister, the doctor,
the business man, the lawyer, but
that later on he would come to the
county and advocate the bill He
touched but one idea and that was
by no sort of means could a politi
cal turn be given to the campaign,
or to the pending measure, and he
stated that there was not an idea
in the bill that had not been en
dorsed by Democratic, Republican
aud Populist General Assemblies
and that if a man left the Demo
cratic party on account of the bill
he could not join any other party
in North Carolina, because all of
them were committed to the princi
ples of the bill.
Then too, he stated that all sorts
of politicians were for the measure,
and the tribute to the Democratic
and Republican leaders who rose
above politics and supported this
great moral measure brought a
wave of applause. He then intro
duced Mr. John A. Oates as the
spokesman of the more than 30,000
or 40 000 majority that will be
given oil the 26th of May.
After addressing the audience
Mr. Oates turned to Gov. Winston
and thanked him for the introduc
tion and his speech for prohibition,
saying "It was well done, Gover
nor, it was well xlone."
His opening remarks were that
the pending bill affected not poli
tics, but it did affect every home
in the state. He pleaded for--the
motherhood and childhood of this
grand old state in most eloquent
aud appealing tones. He pleaded
for the churches aud schoolbouses,
and he remarked that if the women
could vote the majority on May 26
would be 175.Q00. (Who will dis
pute it?)
Ever since the manufacture and
sale of whiskey began, there have
: been efforts to curb it, said Mr.
Oates. First, by taxation, then by
license. After license the system
of regulation was adopted, the
places where it was sold were re
quired to close 011 Sundays and
election days and at certain hours
of the day. Laws were made that
whiskey should not be sold within
two hundred yards of a church or
school house; school houses and
churches were incorporated and
the barrooms were forced to move.
Next came local option. Conimuni- 1
ties voted 011 the question and the I
barrooms wene run out. Thus the
fight against the sale of whiskey
had been constant, and the evil is
being removed.
After recounting the various
methods used to curb the liquor I
traffic, Mr. Oates staled that peo
ple could not made moral by 1
laws, aud asl'ed the question: "Is
it right, then, to make them im
moral by law?"
In a few years the South will be solid
for prohibition, and a new Confederacy
of Southern men that can never be brok- 1
en will be the result. To illustrate the
terrible powtfr of whiskey, Mr. . Oates
«aid, "You can wreck'everr train, tear
up every railroad track in the country, '
and the pluck, energy and determination l
of the pjeople would soon replace them.
. But, a jiome the humblest that- can A '
found in all thi* glad land of ours, let it ]
be wrecked, and no power on earth can '
replace it." Another forceful illustra
tion used by Mr. Oates was the- prompt- |
neaa with which the American boys res
ponded to the call of Uncle Sam to pro.
tect the Spanish women of Cuba, when
our own women that are being oppressed 1
now, and he was suit that Jthe citizen-
ship of the grand Old North State will
rise up on the 26th of May and protect
them. The call will not be in vain.
His remarks were warmly received,
and it is hoped that his visit has done
good the cause of prohibition. There
seemed to be more interest in this ap
pearance of a prohibition advocate then
had been manifested before on similar
occasions.
• It has been thonght that Martin county,
particularly the rural sections, would go
wet, but the enthusiast displayed on
this occaaion'seems contradictor}'. Re
presentative citizens from each township
were,in the audience, and it is believed
that their minds have been changed on
the question, and that their influence
will be felt in their reapective townships
After the address of Mr. Oates the
Martin County Anti-Saloon League was
organized. W. C. Manning was elected
Chairman of the Executive Committee,
and the following gentlemen from the
different townships were elected mem
bers of this committee: Harry Waldo and
P. L. Salsbury, Hamilton; H. S. Kveretts,
Goose Nest; John D. Everett, Roberson
ville; V. R. Taylor, Poplar Point; J. \V.
Perkins, and N. T. Riddick, Cross Roads;
Wheeler Martin, Williamston; J. H.
Riddick and Jos. A. Hardison, Williams;
A* J. Manning and Sylvester Peel, Grif
fins; J. L Hoiliday. Bear Grass; W. H.
Martin, Jamesville.
Bach Township is to have a committee
of three tnemoers, and those elected at
. the meeting Tuesday are to select the
additional member, or members, for
their committees.
The Prphibition force* of the county
will be in excellent shape in a very
short time, and good work is expected,
