HOW TO KEEP A GOOD COOK,

until we are shown otherwise we will
act upon this belief and introduce the
DllI and adv cate It's passage.
But we d. not ,,ish to be misunder-
stood. We are open TO conviction, and
believing as we do that a majority Of the
qualified white voters OF the county
should control all questions we are free
To say that if it can be shown TO u, that
they d. not wish the dispensarv estab-
lshed then We think that an further All
tatlon should cease and The question be
DIR pped where it is. There may be some
difference Of opinion as To how we can
best ascertain the wis es Of majority
Of the qualified white voters. but all
thinking men will cOncede that petitions
circulated by those specially interested,
where only one side is presented aud
where frequently misleading statements
are made, is not a fair test and does not
show what our people really want. We
would not act upon such a petition pre-
S8nted by the advocates OF the dispersal
ry, and we think those opposed 10 the
III veme1tshoud not a * us to rely Que
upon This evidence Of the peoples wiShe-,
It's notorious tat that it iinl trouble
to get signers TO petition, no matter
whaI its merits, and some people are so
careless that they frequently sign both
sides.
AS YOU suggest that we leave the set,
tIement of taiS question to the GU llified
white voters IF the county we have two
propositions t. submit, either of which
we think fair to both sides
lst Open registration books at Daw-
son, BrOnwood, Parrot, Sasser, Chicka-
sawhalchee, Herod, Dover, Graves, Hus-
tie and Yeomans, where those who are
opposed to the dispen8ary may have an
opportunity to record their names. We
think that if majority Of the white vo-
tiers thus express themselves then all ag-
ltauon should c ase, and we are conf
dent that the most earn est advocates of
the dispensary would not urge its passage.
Znd. Let two men DE appointed from
each district, one representing the dis
pensary idea and the other those who
are opposed 20 it, and let them canvass
together their respective districts. pre-
senting both sides of the question and
let every qualified white voter in the
county that can be reached within the
Time agreed upon have an opportunity of
recording himself for or against the dis.
pensary, or for one or more dispensaries
IN the presence of both canvassers, and a
majority of tn 1se thus enrolled to deter
mine our action.
To this we can see no objection. as it
will give everyone chance to express
himself and settle beyond all cavil the
wishes of our people.
If either of these propositions meet
your approval we suggest that you and
those you represent appoint three men
to confer with j. &. Dean, j. w. F.
Lowrey and X. i. Melton to ar
range the details and begin the canvass
or registration ~ once, 50 that this mat
ter may be settled before the assembling
of the legislature.
In conclusion, We beg To say that we
osiIe7s the people generally have acted
apon The re recommendation of the grand
Jury, and as the matter now stands, with
out a fair expression 10 the contrary, We
will advocate the establishing of dis
pspsary in Dawson and each OF the other
Incorporated towns upon the recommen-
a4tfon Of their respective municipal au-
fhbritiss, each dispensary u be main
~ ned out of its own proceeds, dividing
me net profits equally between the town
ahd county. Yours truly,
.. b. STEVENS.
