. ,yhiiition.
. M;. J. A. Bryan said he was request
ed to call the meeting tr order and state
its object' Jflr. Uryan then read the
call Meeting 'was called to form an
organization, to better conditions, not
only the moral, but business. - To see
if something can not be done to bring'
back the business thatfhas been lost
Judge H. R. " Bryan, called to the
chair. : Said "I am In full sympathy
''V
with the movement. Entire prohibition
is not good for any town, according to
my observation. Entire prohibition
was the cause of more perjury than in
anything else in N. C." Judge 1 Bryan
gave some-illustrations he had seen in
N.C. V.-' ' ;..
Mr. R. A. Nunn was made Secretary,
Mr.. Wmi W. Clark was called upon.
, Mr. Clark said in part what were the
. c',u" uei"f V"" "" "",ou
pruuiuitiuu. aiicio woa Krvwu xbvua
ing. temperance without coercion.
Drunkenness declined. But with prohi
bition,' blind tigers sprang up in every
section of the city. It" is, said there are
100 persons today engaged in liquor
selling.
' The result is young m n debauched,
business driven away, prosperity" stop
ped. It is said this morning, eight
young men from 16 to .21 years were
seen drunk on South Front street
Walk the streets any gala day and see
the drunken men. Ladies cannot walk
the streets: We advocate the dispen
sary in the interest of temperance, that
drunkenness may decrease, blind tigers
disappear and business return. In evi
dence of the dispensary look atTrenton,
Raleigh, Kinston. The first under pro
hibition, had blind tigers galore. Under
diepensary, no blind tigers, no drunken
ness. Kinston with " open .saloons.
adopted the dispensary, and no more
sober of prosperous community can be
found. Raleigh has pasted through all
stages of the agitation. If you go to
the legislature now not one drunk now
here there were many 20 years ago.
No order of men are capable to enforce
prohibition therefore the next best thing
should be done. I deny the proposition
made here last nignt, that
no "Christian, man could
vote for a dispensary?: : Are there any
better people than those of Raleigh,
where every consecrated man, from
every pulpit, from the press, and on
the street it waadeclared the duty to
vote for a dispensary. At the recent
convention of the State Baptists, the
question of liquor Was left to the indi
vidual membership, It is not a contest
between the dispensary and temperance
but between the dispensary and the
lawless reign of the blind tiger, where
prohibition exists. Does law and order
prevail? No. but demoralized ' condi
tions. We are not advocating dispensa
ry for purely commercial reasons, but
for better streets and schools.
Mr. James A JBryan was called upon.
"Do not men who knew the previous
conditions before prohibition, now know
that prohibition" is a most egregious
failure?" Mr. Bryan then read an ar
tide on the non-effective workings in
Maine under the. Neal Dow law. H i
also gave instances of what prohibiton
was in other states. He said the speak
era who spoke last night sgsinst were
fair, but they did not see things as he
did. The evils under prohibition were
many. .The blind tigers were too smart
for policemen In uniform or the mayor,
or even outside detectives' who came
here in disguise. It could be said thai
tonight there was more liquor in pri
vate homes than at any one time in 20
years.; The speaker was quite humor
ous in ibis - remarks, giving personal
reminiscences , and telling stories of
others. ' He quoted Governor Jarvis of
Greenville, and Mr. L. Harvey, of Kin
ston, for the benefits derived from dis
pensaries in their respective towns. He
finished telling of what the possible
profits would be gained from dispensa
ry sales if established In this city. , "
At the conclusion of the speaking,
the announcement was made that an
organization would be formed to be
called the Citizens Protective League.
The chair was authorized to appoint an
executive committee of lfy the chair
being made one also of the committee.
Indigestion, constipation come and go
like rent and tax day and other sorrows,

Tea, the greatest remedy known to man
