NOVEL TEMPERANCE SCHEME.
Low a Manufacturer Secured q DRY"
Town in Indiana

A manufacturer at Three Oaks, Ind,
has Just iEaugurated a temperance re-
form in that town that is at once novel
and apparently practicable, says the
Cleveland Leader. This man. who has
several hundred employees, recently Of
fered to pay into the village treasury
annually an amount equal to the Ii
cense fees derived from the saloons II
the authorities would abolish the sa-
looms and make the town dry" II
the offer was refused he threatened to
remove his factory to another town.
The proposition was submitted to the
council and 1t in turn referred the mat
ter to the people at a special election.
The result vas an overwhelming vic
tory for temperance. The saloons will
be closed, the village treasury will re-
:eive the annual payment promised,
and the factory will not be removed,
Of ourse 1t is not difficult to under
stand why this manufacturer desired
the closing OF the saloons. He prob
ably realized that he could get better
work from his employees Il they were
always sober. and will doubtless dis
cover that the money paid for the
closing CT the saloons is we'll invested.

would be best to have work
done in Raleigh since when the Stuarts
had the printing the State lost lots of
money by paying freight and express.
Mr.. Edwards on the part of the COM
mittee from the book binders union,
asked that the work be kept in the
State, since here it can be done as
cheaply and as well and showed how
when some volumes bound in Richmond
were dropped upon the floor they broke
ont of their backs. He said that the
book binders Were citizens of North
Carolina and should not be driven from
the State by lack of work.
Mr.. c. Il. Edwards sketched the his
tory of the State printing since the war.
Then Col. y. c. Davis. for Nash
Bros, of Goldsboro, said that his firm
would take the work at rs 2-3 per cent
lower than the work was done in 1898
The committee seemed to think that
the Nash Bros offer was very tempt
ing; however, after some debate, in
which j. n. Holding, Esq. of counsel
for the State in the Stewart cases, gave
Il history of that case, it was decided to
leave the matter to subcommittee
composed of Messrs Lindsey, Hoey and
Wall.

THE PUBLIC PRINTING.
Practical Printers Appear Before the
Joint Committee.

Senator Justice was made chairman of
the Joint committee on Public Printing
which met yesterday afternoon.
The object of the meeting was stated
to be TO secure good work as well as a
cheap price.
On motion it was allowed to anyone
interested TO offer remarks.
Mr.. n. b. Broughton, in behalf Of
Edwards & Broughton, said they would
be glad to get the work and were pre-.
pared to do so with credit to themselves
and to the State. That no part of the
public printing need to be sent out of
the State. That once before they made
the lowest bid and fusion Legislature
gave the printing to others at higher
price and the sequel of this partisan job
was the poor work the people of the
State have been inflicted with and that
discredit was thrown upon the State.
He suggested that a subcommittee be
appointed to see competent and expert
enced men in the State and set Il fair
figure for the work, and you will be
able to make Il better contract than
otherwise. The contract of 1893
was for fifteen per cent off
from the Code scale of prices. He also
stated that at no time since the war had
the Democratic party been guilty Of
jobbery in the public printing, nor in
all that time has any man been able to
get rich from it.
r. II. Gray, Esq for Nash Bros, of
Goldsboro. n. c., said that his clients
had sufficient means and friends to back
them in any contract which they might
make and that the work would be salts
IL, Oh I1t+ hn
122 y. C. Reports, which is their work,
with the exception of the binding. He
said that the Nash Bros, desired 4
part, if not all Of the State printing
they desire division among the capable
firms of the State. but if the sense of
the committee is to give it all to one
firm they will try and get it. If it
should be deemed best to let contract
out to Raleigh firm. perhaps they
might come here. Perhaps the wsest
course would be to elect Il man under
bond to secure the printing and let him
select not necessarily the lowest man,
but the best man and let him also ask
for special bids on special work as
wanted.
Mr. E. NJ Uzzell asked for
himself, not all, but half of
the States work He says of the firms
in Raleigh only two are capable of tax
ing this State printing, viz: Edwards x
Brought0n and himself, and both these,
firms are Democratic. They both bid
for the printing in 1892 at - per cent
less than the Code prices. Perhaps the
work could be done cheaper now
Mr.. Uzzell then showed the bids
made before the Fusion Legislatures
and how injurious the contracts were.
