m BEHALF OF TEMPERANCE.
An Address to the Men and Women of
North Carolina.

itself a sufficient call to the men and
women of North Carolina to grid
themselves for battle against the sa-
Loom their ancient and remorseless
enemy.
Public sentiment against the sa-
loon is stronger than it has ever been.
# IS recognized by all intelligent
men as the chief source of the drink
eviI-an evil of the gravest charac-
ter and greatest proportions; and
enlightened citizens are convinced by
painful experience that the saloon is
the worst of the several forms of the
LIQUOR traffic. Moreover, the politi-
cal leaders have grown weary of the
influence of the saloon in politi-
cal life, and are ready to join in an
effort to destroy it. On the whole,
therefore, the condition of public
sentiment is most suspicious.
Again, the ignorant black vote hav-
ing been eliminated, the saloons hope
in voting, as they have in the past,
large numbers of ignorant negroes,
is cast down, while, on the other
hand. the intelligent and honest
classes of the colored race who yet
have the ballot have made a rule of
voting against the chief enemy of
their weaker brethren-the saloon.
Of larger significance, however, is
the fact that the white race feels at
liberty to take up this question now,
after long years of waiting and suf-
fering, and they take it up with the
determination to settle it and settle
1t right, and if need be of choosing
officers of the law who will enforce
their will when once it has been ex-
pressed.
Again, under the new Act of the
General Assembly known as the
Watts Act there are three changes
that make decidedly for the temper
ancc cause.
First, the saloon and distillery are
excluded from the country districts.
That Is, evasion and destruction of
municipal prohibition, such as has
been accomplished by setting up sa-
looms just outside of prohibition
towns and cities, is now rendered i'm
possible by a sweeping statute.
Second, elections may be held at
any time of year, not within ninety
days of a political election. Form
erIy the local option elections have
Oeen limited to the month of May in
which many cities and towns hold
municipal elections, and these have
often served to muddle the issue. Now
Tie Issue may be presented without
any complications whatever.
Third. We may have choice of pro-
I.olhon' saloons, or diStilleries, or
~Gispcn~ary.
Iheso are decided advantages and
SD"old encourage every citizen who
mas the welfare of the Commonwealth
"'art to go readily into this cam
P",Sn against the saloon.
Let 1t be observed that the new
~, docs not go into effect unCiI July

DOVER, N, T.. NJ

DOVER, n. J., Nov. I2th, 1902,
I had both kidney and liver trouble for over
three year. / tried the best physicians in
Washington, D c., P~tttsburg, Cinciy natl and
Chicago, and regret to say that I received
very little ben eff until I commenced taking
the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy,
DR.. Ktlmer's Swamp-RoOt. After taking the
drst bottle l noticed quite q change, which
medicine. I continued on until I had taken
70 r bottles; by this time l notified such q
way, that 1 felt satisfied I was cured But, to
be positive beyond a question or doubt, I was
in lineage during July, 1902, and went to the
ST, and bad them make a thorough and
complete micrOscopical examination, which
well and healthy. have their written report
in my %pOssiOn, signed by tn doctors of the
above Medical Laboratory, which is Iecog-
nized as one of the best in the country.

opinion Cnat this campaign must be
commenced Immediately. We must
work thoroughly and earnestly, and
SIX months is none too long 6 time.
We cannot afford to take chances in
matter SO grave. Frequently to
lose an election will mean a setback
for ten years.
We expect that in every commun-
lty there will be discussion of the dis
pensary question, and we take it.,
therefore, as the part of wisdom to
declare our position now. We are
first of all opposed to the saloon svs-
tenn. 1t is recognized as the worst
form of the liquor traffic. We arc,
secondly, for prohibition. 1t is recog-
nized as the only really desirable
treatment of the liquor traffic. If
IN any community the argument shall
be made for a dispensary, let it be
based upon the understanding that
a d~ispensary is favored only on the
two grounds, namely CD That it is
an improvement upon the saloons,
giving protection to the rising gener-
alton; and (2) That it will make way
ultimately for prohibition. We re-
gret to confess that We fear that
there may be cities in our State in
which an abrupt change from the
open saloon to prohibition could not
be- so successfully made as we de-
sire. In such cities the ~dispensary
is the practicable halfway step. We
respectfully recommend that the
friends of prohibition take this ques-
ton up and treat it according to
their knowledge of conditions in
their cities or towns, and that once
a course shall be determined upon,
every man who opposes the saloon
system shall give it hearty support.
We expect that elections will be
called for in every city and town in
which saloons now exist. We would
here remind the opponents of the sa-
looms that they must get up a petit
ton of one-third of the qualified
voters and that thirty days notice of
the election must be given. 1t is of
the highest Importance that the
friends of temperance proceed imme-
diately to organize in every town,
and that they select officers and
committees that are capable of wise
ly and vigorously conducting the
campaign. An organization formed
now will be able to 1 it's best work
in the summer and fall. This con
test is wholly local. 1t presents the
aspects of a general warfare, but
each election is a battle in itself. The
work will not be done, cannot be
done, from headquarters at Raleigh.
1t must be done by the local organi-
cations. Nothing short of a hand to
hand anvass of every voter should
be aimed at in every town and city.
The Executive Committee has
called a temperance convention for
July Z. The object of such a con-
vention is mutual encouragement, to
forward the campaign, to strengthen
