ers, equally honest and respectable as
any Who voted for local option, opposed
the Infringement OF liberty, as they
viewed the intent of local option.
Have not stated the case fairly?
Now, to the methods employed to
bring about the result, without discuss
ing the mooted question of the legality
of the combined vote of the three dis
tricts. On the side OF temperance l
found all the ministers, both white and
colOred, and the mothers, and the
wives, and the fathers. from whose
hearts have been wrung cries of an
guish over sons, and brothers, and hus-
bands who were allured to their ruin by
the splendid glamour of the open sa-
loon, where lime cases out of ten, the
first step in their downward career was
taken.
On the other hand ! found the sa-
lOonists, men with whom | have no
quarrel, leading their fight, for it is to
them a livelihood, and liberty they
rad legal right to protect, promote,
and foster. Back OF them | found many
men OF many minds-but no mothers
or wives, Politicians were with them,
the majority of the couficil were with
them, church members, prominent law
gers, bankers, merchants, and others.
This was the strong alliance tlfat had
to be overcome at the polls. Free
whiskey and beer, and money, tits said =,
were used to perpetuate a condition
that has been in operation for fifteen
wears and which finds our city over
$4,000 in debt.
The friends OF temperance spent $l43
defraying the expense incurred by
twice calling for an election, paying
for ballots, Transporting speakers over
the county, advertising-and nothing
more! Behind them, or rather leading,
were the ministers, and the wives,
whose prayers TO Almighty God went
mp day and night for the triumph of
the reform. On Saturday when the
polls opened, score or more of ladies
assembled at the Christian church and
through the rOseate clouds to rest be-
hind the western wave.
| am informed that the saloonists
will contest the legality of the vote in
the three districts of Elliston, Union
and Richmond. That is all right, for
there seems to be doubt about that
matter in many minds If the election
is not perfectly just to the saloonists L
do not wish it to succeed. There is no
hope for the success of any reform I'M
less public sentiment is back of it, and
| for one, want to see local option fairly
carried and f'irly tested, as it is in
OanvIlle and elsewhere. | trust if it is
beaten in the future, it will be beaten
in the manner in which it triumphed
this timely the Impoverished, I'M
trampled suffrage of the sovereign
voters. 1t is to these / respectfully
dedicate these remarks, with an invi-
tation to debate the question in public
or discuss it in print with any citizen
who has the moral welfare of our COM
munity at heart. G. f WOODS.

How Local Option or mo Ii.
Cense" Triumphed.

Recognizing the fact IL at not all the
wisdom, nor the plety, nor the patriot
ism OF our community are reposed in
those who battled for the abolition OF
saloons, it is delicate task that besets
speaker or writer who would fairly
discuss the causes and effects of the
vote for local option last Saturday week.
Those who voted for it were ANNA
ted by desire to minimize the evil
of drink, and to remove from young
men the temptation that the open sa-
looms afford. They did not consider
the revenue of $1,000 a compensation
for the debauchery OF even one moth
er's son.
On the other hand, good citizens con.
tended that as men will drink, we
might as well regulate the traffic and
profit legally by its sale, as under local
option whiskey could be bought, men
made drunk, and the city would lose
the revenue of 81 600 per saloon 9th
