Mr.. Leary moved to suspend the rules for the
| purpose OF taking up the bill by Mr.. Morris to
| prevent the sale vi intoxicating liquors on days
| of elections.
The judiciary Committee reported a substi-
tute Tor the first section, to the effect that no
| spirituous liquors (except upon prescription by
physlcian) shall be sold within five miles OF
any precinct upon election days.
| Mr. Bowman's amendments to the bill, insert
ing the words cor during the holding of Superb
| or Courts" was first considered.
| Mr. Williamson hoped the amendment would
not prevail. 1t would iniuriously affect the in-
terests OF some OF the people OF his county. The
State taxed very heavily those having licenses to
retail sprituous liquors, and it would evidently
be unjust to deny them during the sessions OF
the courts the benefits of their licenses for which
they had to pay snCh large amounts He hoped
the amendment would be voted down.
| Mr. Lcary said the effect OF the amendment
would be to increase rather than TO decrease
drunkenness He would favor the bill as first
reported but should vote against the amend
| ment.
At the suggestion of Mr.. Bowman the bill was

Mr.. Sinclair moved to strike out the words
"organize and equip"
Mr.. Justice, of Rutherford, appealed to the
House to vote down the amendment without
discussion.
Mr.. Seymour said the intention OF the movers
of the several amendments wa sto defeat the bill
by mere parliamentary tactics.
Mr.. Sinclair said the bill us 1t stood, instead
of promoting the ends OF peace, would but serve
to provoke resistance. He would be willing to
| give bond OF $500 900 that the people OF his
county would be peaceful and law-abiding.
Nj. Hodgin said that q soldier without arms
was rs weak as u woman 1t was necessary in
order to make the police effccivt, to authorize
the Governor to arm and equip them.
Mr.. Vest said that his constituents demanded
police force for the purposes OF protection. In
his county theIe was the Ku kluX, or some 9TH
er organization, whose members were banned
together tor the purposes of resistance. They
also had threatened death to Republicans, and
were in the habit sometimes of turning horses
and stock at night into the grain fields. The
best preventative to peace was the necessary
force at hand to suppress all riots and disorder.
Mr.. Ingram followed in remarks showing the
condition OF affairs in the county of Anson. He
hadbeen warned by the colored people that his life
was not safe. At the last Superior Court in An
son county there would have been bloodshed in
the streets of Wadesboro, had not the Union.
men backed down in order to keep the peace.
The delegate to the Constitutional Convention
had been openly and grossly insulted. He also
had been insutcd. These insults and threats
emanated l-om boys and young men, whose pa
rents were in perfect sympathy with their action.

bill.
Mr.. Downing said that Messrs. Sinclair and
Shaver were in fortunate localities, but such was
not the case with other members The police
would not be called into service in any county
except when necessary.
Mr. Ashwortl said the bill only provided TO
pay the police when in actua. service. In his
county no police was necessary The Rcpubli-
cans and Union men there would manage the ku
| Klux, and suppress any violent or riotous de-
| monstration. He moved the previous qucetion
a Mr. Durham moved to lay that motion upon the
table, and called Tor the yeas and nays, which
were ordered.
The House refused to lay upon the table-yeas
3S; nays 90.
Mr.. Ashworth then withdrew tie motion fol
the previous question for a short time.
Mr. Hodnctt spoke In severe terms OF the bill
and considered it direct charge against tht
loyalty OF the people OF the State. He desired ar
opportunity to disprove the charge. He ant
others were ''preparr'd" to do so, &c, &C., &c
