Col. Bruton: Have you sworn out d

Mr.. Woodland said he didn't think a
saloon man wanted to do wrong, they
are in the business like all other men
are in their callng-for the money there
is in it. The evils can be remcdied with
out dispcnsary.

Wilson and he denied that the moral
forces are responsible for the deplorable
evils that exist in Wilson. He blushed
that Wilson had had seventeen bar
rooms, TWO run by immoral women until
the latter were abolished recently. There
are nine bawdy houses with near one
hundred had women 1t is untrue that
the moral forces in Wilson are response
bic for such things. They would not
exist with a dispensaTy. The men living
outside of the town do not pay taxes,
DO not vote on town government, and

speech was effective. If there ever was

Of the crime in Wilson as elsewhere. The
patient people have suffered from grog-

on it.
At first. the saloon. people said Let
the people of the town vote on it. Then
they claim to want all the county to vote
On it,
Upon a vote the bill was unanimously
reported favorably.
After that had been done, Rev. A.
T. Tycrs the Methodist pastor, said he
wished permission to make statement
in defence of the good people of Wilson
who had been assailed. 1t was true that
license to sell intoxicants was granted
to two bawdy houses by the Board of
Aldermen, upon which were some church
members. The town clerk had stated
that these men did not know that such
license had been granted 1t was due
them to say that as soon as it was
called to their attention the licenses
were at once revoked.
Col. Bruton followed upon the same
line, and said that these men promptly
corrected their mistake, and that tho
severe censure upon them was undc-
served
He was interrupted by Mr. Woodland
who said that these women had license
for two years. Col. Bruton said that it
was only for a few months. There is
no good in advertising the town as worse
than it is.
