R;cvc1es off The ST dewa1ks.

There is a growing demand on the
part of pedestrians that the town au-
thorltles pass an ordinance against BIZ
cycles on the sidewalks. The Com
MoSwEALTH thinks the town COM
missioners ought to pass an ordinance
putting wheels off the streets, or max
ing it subject for fine for any one
on wheel to pass another person on
the sidewalk without dismountlng.
But it would come more directly to the
matter to put bicycles off the sidewalks
altogether.

AFTERNOON.

The people of Hobood had bounti-
fully provided for the comfort of the
visitors and all were cared for and
bountifully Entertained at the different
homes in the town.
Re-assembling in the afternoon there
was more stirring temperance music
and the president had the pleasure OF
introducing Rev. J. III. Frizzelle, OF
Roanoke Rapids, who delivered a
strong and able address on Honesty"
He, of course turned the discussion OF
his subject upon the matter OF intem-
perance and the liquor traffic.
Mr.. Frizzelle made the bold state
ment that the liquor business Is dis
honest from first to last; and while
some thinking of the matter Off hand,
might question the position which the
speaker took, one had to listen only to
hear the well-rounded proof OF his prop
osltion. He showed how the Govern
ment looks with suspicion upon the
business when man commences the
manufacture of liquor, and traced 1t
down to the drlnker and showed very
clearly that there are crooked things
connected with the business from first
to last. The address was strong and
convincing.
Then followed discussion On the
topic, us it right to aid in any way
the manufacture or sale Of intoXicants =
The discussion was led by Mr.. w. c.
Whitaker and Rev. G. L. Merrill. They
were followed by DR.. Savage, Mr.. FRI
zelle and others, all agreeing that it is
wrong to aid the liquor traffic IN any
way.
This completed the days programme
Mess. Whitaker, Bradley and Frlzzelle
who had been appointed a committee
to appoint time and place Tor nex'
meeting, recommended that the mex
meeting be held in connection with the
County Sunday-School Convention a
Whitaker's Chapel some time the las
of July or the first of August.
Resolution was passed thanking thu
people of Hobgood for the kind and
hospitable entertainment.
The meeting adjourned to meet q
Whltaker's Chapel, time to be an
nounced later.
