The Committee appointed on the subec
Of the License Law Of North Carolina
would respectfully submit the following
Preamble aud Resolutions.
The evils growing out Of the retail o
ardent spirits, have long engaged the altcn
ton, and awakened the regrets of the be
nevulent IN al! countries. where the practice
/ tas prevailed.
I The enactment and continuance Of such
Law, has been regarded BY many as a
striking anomaly in a system so well adapt
ed, when properly administered TO promote
the happiness Of the whole people as tho
laws Of this State generally are.
That such a Law should have renamed
so long on the Statue Books Of England,
and Of most of the States OF the Union, and
is perhaps more surprising than that it
should ever have passed in either country.
The Legislatures of few Of the States of
this Union, have wisely and nobly respond
cd to the wishes Of the benevolent, and yield.
ing TO the stilI more powerful appeals made
TO their sympathles, by the scenes ofwrctch
edness produced BY this system, have re.
pealcd the License Law, and thus delivered
their States from the evils resulting from
the legsllzed retail Of ardent spirits,
The beneficial effects OF such Legislation.
i, is believed, are clearly seen, and sensbly
ei already IN those States. This Commit.
tee cannot believe that the sound sense of
the people OF this State, will allow them to
lnger behind 10 this noble reform, while as
a State, we are emulating the most enter.
prlslng IN every other species OF Improve
ment. We believe there are various things
in the law itself betraying a consciousness
on the part of the Legislature passing 1t,
that such a law was legalIzlng system IN
lqultous IN lis character, and most mschiov
Gus in its tendency.
In thus hight we regard the prohibition
in relation to selling spirits TO slaves; the
tendency of arden, spirits TO destroy the
value Of slaves, aud to make them danger
Gus TO the community, 10 fully recognized
by such prohibition. No one can deny
that the effect Of spirits, Is substantially the
same on all persons, and the law as it stands
has the appearance OF protecting slaves as
articles of property, while the temptation
may DO held out to the master and hts sons
10 destroy themselves body and soul,

to consult the road side for rich soil and

by swine. These must, we suppose, be 10

REPORT ON STATISTICS

The COMMITTEE To whom vas referred
the statistics of the Temperance Societies
represented 10 the Convention, and whose
duty il was made to prepare for publication
a report of the state and prospects of the
Temperance cause IN our bounds, would say,
That they have only been able TO collect
information from small district in Yves
tern North Carolina, included 10 the coun-
ties of Cabarrus, Mecklenburg, lredeIl, Da,
vie and Rowan; and that they have no in.
formation from the cause in the State gen.
orally. We are sorry that our Information
is not more definite and satisfactory. The
opinion is entertained by many OF our oppo.
nenis that the cause is languishing in the
State, and will finally come to nought. We
do not believe that this opinion is well found.
ed. II II we're, the friends of the cause
might mourn, aud its enemss triumph. We
are well satisfied that cause so truly phil.
anthropic aud God like in its character,

for time, appear TO ANGUISH We are al!

SO happy TO say, that within the bounds
marked by the Societies represented 10 tins
Convention, the cause is generally progress
ing. There are 90 Societies represented
10 the Convention, having in them 3599
white members, and 240 colored making
N all 1899. 10 some neighborhoods dis
filling and retailing are abandoned; and 10
more than tro thirds heard from, the cause
IS reported ddUa1ciag while in one neigh
borhood It is reported tdnguishing. The
first Of these Societies vas formed Jan 90,
1929, at Bethany Church, lredel county,

lar Tent, Cabarrus county, n. c. The
largest is at Rocky River, Cabarrus; hav
ing 400 white and $50 coIored members
aud the smallest is at Mountain Road Row
an, having 10 members. Ii is worthy of
remark concerning this, that it embraces
only the members Of one family, consisting
Of the father, children, and grand children.
Let the friends of the cause only remain
united and jealous, and lrs influence will
yeI extend INTO every recess of drunkenness
in the State, and lead the victims of The en-

roasting fine turkey, thought that she
ought to taste 'list a little of the skin to

taste "a little blt,' but with the little bit
came the uncomfortable desire Of tasting
more--and Betty tasted aud tasted, uatll
she had tasted all the skin off the turkey.
Now, what was TO be done the skinned
turkey struck horror to her heart-what
