duty of said county commissioners TO or

determine whether the sale of intoXicat-
ing liquors shall be prohibited. sold by dis
pensary or by saloons. Now If a ma
jority of the voters are for saloons the
London bill, says "it shall be lawful for
the Board of County Commissioners TO
grant license in such city or town to all
proper persons applying for same ac-
| cording to law" AS a temperate man.
| as an honest man, | ask these questions:
! If after an election in a town or city of
| over five hundred inhabitants when q
majority of the votes have been cast
| for saloons is there a single line in the
London bill or any other law that com
pels the county commissioners to grant
| license?
Why does the London bill ignore the
/ town commissioners or aldermen, and put
the calling OF elections, appointment OF
poll holders, declaring result, election OF
dispensary commissioners. &c, in the
hands of the county commissioners?
Do they mean by this that our City
y =
1t is now lawful to grant license il
Granville county, but none have beer
granted this year.
II the liquor question is submitted tC
the voters OF any city or town, why not
allow the municipal authorities to cal
the election and declare the result? /
a majority vote for saloons. Why not say
the commissioners shall grant license K
proper persons? This is Democracy.
If after a majority have voted for sa
| looms, why require a majority Of tho vot
ers names on petition of a saloon keep
er? If a majority of the votes are fo
prohibition. would it be right to also re
qure petition containing a majorit.
of the voters names to romain in pub
lie place for so days before declaring th
result.
If a majority of the votes arc for
dispcnsary. would it be right to then re
qure petition for a iispensary from
ma iority said petition TO be kept opel
to tho public for thirty days. before de
cIaring the result of the election?
How many of the petitioners for III

those who are clamoring for its enact
mont to read tread it carefully.

It thrives by destroying everything it

For the schoo's and Temperance

To tho Editor: I see that some mem
Dor of the Legislature has introduced a
bill to make it so that the taxes paid
by the whites would go to the white
school and that paid by the negroes 70
go to the negro schools. l do not think
that would be right. We have got the
negroes here and we should give thorn
sufficient education to do ordinary bust
ness. But l 60 think that the whites
should have the right to vote an extra
tax on themselves. leaving out their
property. if they sec fit to supplement
the regular school fund with an extra
tax. | think it would be fair to allow
either race to vote the extra tax on thcm-
selves or if an extra tax is put on all
allow tho parties who are taxed extra
to designate the school to which this
extra tax is to go. This would remedy
the evil and if it could be made into a
law there would be a great many moro
graded schools.
There are a great many people who
are willing for the negroes to have their
part of the school fund as it is. but are
not willing to put this extra tax or
themselves for the negro schools. They
feel as if it is too near like saying to
the white man. you shall not send your
son 10 COllcSc even IL you pay MS fN-
penses, unless you send a negro boy to
college also. | see no injustice in pass
ing a law allowing the extra tax to 90
to the race voting it and wish it could be
done.
Mr.. Bailey asks the people to keep
writing TO their representatives on the
temperance question. 1t seems to me
that almost the whole Static has OK
pressed itself in favor of Temperance,
and there has been no go back The peo-
pie are thoroughly aroused on the sub
ject, and they want the committee TO
take all the bills that have been intro
duced and make one good one out OF
them, upon which all can agree.
The Watts bill does not go far enough
and that alone viii not satisfy the peo-
pie. We must have the anti-jug law and
a good many other provisions, not pos
scssed by the Watts bill.
l am glad to see, Mr.. Editor. that your
stand en- the question is so highly praised
by both the press and the people.
Respectfully yours,

Argument against the London Bill

To the Editor. 1t seems to me that
We have great many people IN North
Carolina who are about fifty years be
hind the age Vermont over fifty years
ago became a prohibition State and after
so long trial the people found
the law would not work, so within
the past few weeks a a general election
they have voted to try local option.
What does this mean? Does it not mean
that the people of Vermont have learned
by experience?
Do prohibition laws prohibit in Kan
sas? If SO why did we hear of Mrs.
Lease and her hatchets work in the
bar-rooms 60 of Kansas?
If | read the so-called London bill"
Alright it would put all of North Caro-
lima under prohibition. According to the
United states census bulletin the follow
ing counties have no towns as large
as one thousand. and under the London
bill the manufacture of "spirituous, vim
Gus. malt or other intoxicating liquors
would be prohibited in them, towit: {:
