CIRCULATION a
VOL XVI. NO. 19
Jaf Bill lauM
As expected, the Senate tack
ed an amendment on the Anti-jug
bill with the hope that there will
be enough votes in the election
. to kill it out The opponents of
the bill could not defeat the same,
so with high-flown and nauseat
ing oratory, Senators Stubbs,
Gilliam and others, succeeded
in tacking an amendment to it
requiring a vote of the people.
North Carolina has expressed
itself on the prohibition question,
and this bill wa* simply to make
prohibition effective. It was
never the intention of prohibi
tionists to keep any man from
the moderate use of liquor. But
when the people with malice
aforethought, tried in every man
ner possible to thwart the will of
the majority by acting as feed
ers for blind tigers, putting their
own liberty and that of their
families in jx>pardy together
with the peace of the community,
then it was high time to take
some action and it must be com
plete in its nature.
Men are sent to the Legislature
to carry into effect the will of
the people, but some there are
who do not know that there are
a people back home when it
Comes to their own personal ap
petites and d&rres. Such men
actually hinder the progress of
the State* and should be given
an easy chair at home and told
to remain there.
AD Old Relic
James R. Robertson,, who pur
chased the "old hotel" at the
Ellington sale recently, has had
the building torn down with the
intention of tiding the good tim
ber. While tearing away the
timber, an edition of Murray's
Grammar was found. The book
was published in 1817, and
though the edces were eaten by
time, the type was clear as in
the average book. Mr. Robert
son brought it. to the ofnce as a
curiosity.
