Mr.. William T. Hammond, of North
East, who was appointed chairman of
the anti-license campaign executive
committee in place of George A. Blake,

unable to accept the office, has issued
the following circular of acceptance and
which very forcibly treats upon the issue

| offer a word of regret that our dear brother and
| colaborer, George a. Blake, was not in a con
| ditiOn to continue as chairman, believing that
| the convention that placed him in that reSpon-
sible position had made wise choice and l am
still OF the same opinion but because of his recent
Affections, through the Providence OF God. that
| he has been called upon to pass through he felt
that he could not do justice TO the that is SC
| close to his heart.
/ We have banded ourselves together that every
| lover OF Home, Peace and Happiness may have
the right to show by his actions this fall that We
| mean " iiu Jul pcioNeu county VI JIG VI tit

minister of the Gospel TO preach Anti License il
his pulpit, not only one Sunday during thi
Campaign but every Sunday from now unit
after the 9th OF November, Tor the reason tina
there is institution in this county more affect

more to day to destroy the church of our BLESSED
Christ than all other powers of hell combined
l for one do not want to support any man in tn
