According to suggestion contained in resou-
ton passed by a Temperance Meeting held in the
town of Wilmington on the 28th March, recon-
mendng primary meetings to be held throughout
the County, by the friends of Temperance, for the
purpose of appointing delegates to the Temperance
Convention to be held in Wilmington on the 25th
April, for the purpose of nominating candidates TO
represent their views in the next General Assembly,
a portion of the citizens of Topsai Sound met at
SCOTS Hill, and the meeting organized by call
ing George Averett TO the Chair and appointing DR..
J. L. S. Beckwith as Secretary.
The Chairman having explained the object of the
meeting, and on motion, Committee of five, con-
sisting of Joseph M. Foy, L. S. McClammy, James
M. Nixon. Joseph C. Howard, and DR.. JAS L. S.
Beckwith, were appointed to draft resolutions for
the consideration of the meeting.
The Committee reported the following resolutions,
which acted upon separately and unanimously
adopted
WHEREAS, The time has arrived, at which the
temperance of all sections of the country should
publicly declare the position they occupy in regard 10
the liquor traffic, and
WHEREAS, call has been made to the friends OF
temperance to meet in convention in the town ofWil-
mngton the 25th April for the purpose of nomin-
atng candidates TO represent their views in the next
General Assembly. Therefore
RESOLVED, That, while we hold the same views as
they in regard to the passage of prohbitory law, still
believe their proceedings 10 be premature and
necessary and would suggest the proprety of waiting,
till after the meeting of the Democratic county
vention to be held in June
Resolved, That we believe the temperance move
and liquor prohibition to be for the good of ALL
and should not be held party question, but the
Democratic party is largely in the majority in this
Democrats cOuld elected -
Therefore
Resolved, That we will wait until the meeting of
the Democratic county convention, but should they
fail to nominate who are known TO be in favor Of
prohbitory law, we will not support them, but will
support those only who hold our views
RESOLVED, That copy of the proceedings be sent
to the Spirit of the Ago, Wilmington Journal, and
Commercial with request to publish.
