An EARLY PROHIBITION pErrrrc ..

The Atlanta Constitution recently pub
lishcd tho following petition from King
Hagler. a celebrated chief OF tho Catawbas,
dated May 26 1856, addressed - Chief-Jus'
tice Henley, and discovered in the State ar.
chives y, North Carolina:
81 desire IA stop may bo put 10 the selling
OF strong liquors 10y the white people Il my
people especially near the Indians. If tho
white people make strong drink, let thcm
sell it to one another or dPnk it in their own

mischief. which otherwise will happen from
my people getting drunk AMI quarrelhng
with the white people
Whether the petition was brought to the
notice OF tina Governor, as promised by th'
Chief Justice, and acted UPON, does not
appear. Hagler who was assa-snated by

STRONG DRINK AND THE cHmpREy.

Strong drink which is responsible for so
much cruelty and suffering, affects, with
perhaps its worst results, the children. 1t

parents and guardians, sulices to show that
even those who do not themselves indulge in
IL. may be, and many times are, among its
most unhappy victims. The Seventeenth
Annual Report of the New York Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty TO Children.

nisiCS many striking and painful illustra.
tions of the way in which children are thus
made 10 suffer through stron drink. IL APP
pears that for the year 1891 Tie society re-
ceive1 and examined 76JJ complaints ~
cruelty TO children, that II instituted 2SJ5
prosecutions, and secured 276l convictions;
that IL rescued 36S3 children from pernicious
surroundings, and that II sheltured, fed
and clothed lG91 children IN its re-
ception rooms, and that 1t inves-
tigated in addition, 235l cases of alleged
cruelty, at the instance of the Police justices
and the courts. These figures represent n
great deal of timely and valuable labor in
behalf of exposed and victimlzsd childhood
and show that the society discl1rges IA most
useful function in this metropolis But It Is
safe 10 say that threelourthS OF ITS work Il
rendered necessary, either directly or indl-
rectly, through the agency OF strong drink.
/ In very many of the cases recorded IL has
been obviously a chief factor OF the cruelty
from which children have suffered In one
case mentioned in the report, an officer Of
the society was detailed 10 care for little

SEVERAL MORE LETTERS
A. A. spauEh Speaks His Mind in
Plain

MANvILLE, March 2s.-Please find
enclosed check for $40 for which I wish
you would send me THE DAILY LEADER
for q year. l happened to pick up
The LEADER in the postofice the other
day and noticed the account of the boy
colt against your paper by the board OF
live stock commissioners. Since then l
have been hunting up TaE LEADER to
read. hence this subscription. l believe
and hope that you will get a thousand
new subscribers and supporters for The
LEADER if you are not afraid to speak in
behalf of the settlers interest of this state.
Now, if there is anything on earth that
is dear to a true American it's the right
of free speech. The grand reason IS that
every human being has a right to the pub
lie ear. The right of free speech is the
priceless gem of the human race. and any
man that don't allow another man the
right of free speech is a barbarian.
1 see the board of live stock commits
sioners have stated to you that l am one
of the number who has been dealing with
and buying cattle of rustlers.
Now it is quite generally understood In
this part of the country that the board of
live stock commissioner consider about
all of the settlers that cannot afford to
run an outfit on the rsnge rustlers. If
that is the case, | plead guilty to the
charge. But if they mean BY what they
have said that | make a practice of, or IN
any single case. that 1 have knowingly
bought stolen cattle, or cattle of bad title.
they tell a id lie, and their own acts
prove it, as they paid me for all the cattle
they took from me except three steers,
the brand of which the inspectors mis-
represented. Whether the inspectors did
this by mistake or not 1 can't say. l can
prove these steers by several reputable
witnesses. and will do it.
The live stock commissioners need not
think for a minute they are going to get
of with those three steers for the state.
They seem TO be very DESTROYS OF making
a record to show to the next legislature
or somebody. l can't imagine their OBJ
ject, unless they think the legislature will
say: Give us back the S., 900 we let you
have and you can have the rest for vour
cussedness." The next legislature will
never do it; they might as well pay the
money over to the rightful owners.
Respect yours, A. A. SPAUaH.
