Rev II. q. PcarsOn's views.
Rcv. X. 6 Pearson in the course OF his
sermon at the First Presbyterian church
yesterday said the placing of Il saloon on
Patton avenue was burning shame and
. disgrace to the name of Ashcvile. lie
said he could not be present at the lndig'
nation meeting this evening i'll person
but he would be there in spirit, and
hoped that the people would speak thcii
minds and take such actiol
\ as would make the commissioners hans
their heads in shame when they walkct
the streets. For Gods sake" he said
Y "tor humanity's sake, for the sake of tn
= good women of Ashcvile, do not ALLOW
the traffic to spread" Ills remarks wcr
torciblc and to the point, and ShOwc'
= the intense interest Mr.. Pearson felt i
the matter
+ Rev. y. w. Leg.
N At the close of his sermon at Riycrsid
NJ. L. church, south, yesterday Rev. -.
/ W. Lee alluded to the saloon question
Legally, he said, the commissioners ha
as much right to license saloon on Pat
- ton avenue, as in any other part of til
city. But the whole thing, he declared
was wrong, and the people were wakin
3 M on ,he subject. He laid the blame o
< the people themselves. who, irt many il
I stances, would talk against the saloo
business, and yet when cleo ton tim
came on they would allow themselves
be led by the nose by their party all
vote for the men who allowed the wh
- key traffic to 60 on,
The people and press, he said, wei
becoming aroused, and he believed grci
good would come ont of the present az
