The Agreement.

This is the agreement being signed
by the saloon and anti saloon men of
Columbia. to the effect that no election
shall be held in this city ON the ques-
tion OF voting out the saloons:
ITO Senator E. E. Erwin and Repre-
sentatIves A. A. Llpscomb and JnO.
&c Nelson.
Whereas, there is pending before
the legislature bill providing that
in towns hereinafter INCORPORATED
having a population of not less than
; 500 mol more than 8, 900, intoxicating
liuuors shall not be sold, and
"Whereas. there are two factions IN
Columbia, one opposing and the other
pressing for, the passage of said bill ;
representatives of said two factions
believe that it would be best for the
peace and order of the town that no
election be held on this matter:
"Now. therefore, to avoid the tur-
moi and bitterness that such an cleo
tion might engender, we mutually re-
quest You to waive the necessity of an
election and put said bill for passage
upon Its merits, without any one of
you urging or appealing to Senatorial
Courtesy" OH the floor of the Senate
or House. or privately with the mem
bers for or AGAINST said bill. But
nothing herein Is intended to hamper
any of you from urging the passage OF
said bill upon its merits, either pub
licly or privately. If said bill shall
pass, this agreement is intended to
waive the necessity of an election on
the question of the passage of the
companion bills repeating the charter
of Columbia and incorporating so rs
to bring Columbia under the pro
visions of the bill now pending. This
is intended as compromise agreement,
to bind both factions.
