He waded numerically into the liquor
traffic and condemned it in all OF us
aspects

which millions of curses have come, he
said Ably he are,l1ed the necessity CT
eucb a clause in no organic law as the

WAS KISSED.
Bu+ in +, moment the situation was
changed. Mr.. Arnistead R. Long,
VOL known LAWYER of Lynchburg was
recognized by the chair, and the bare an
rouncement of his intention to oppose
the resolution caused sudden start.
Heads were turned and ears were strain
ed. In the first place, Mr. Long did not
believe that such a resolution should be
embodied in the organic law. Secondly,
he declared. that the Baptist Church
as such ought not to take part in poll
tics or NEEDLE with political questions.
At this juncture z&h1s voice WAS drowned
by Kisses and cries, but this demonstra-
ton had barely begun when 1t Gained
down. Mr.. Long was heard again ana
this time he rebuked the audience, de-
olaring that. though he knew himself TO
be greatly In the minority, yet IN OPP
