the bill through the House a all haz-
edied. Clearly the State should not
permit the WinC-manufacturcr 10 sell
in quantities of less than five gallons,
not to be drunk on the premises under
any circumstances. Unless this defect
shall be remedied, the Watts bill Will
destroy itself.
Again, the Watts bill will prove in
effectual unless by some means the
sale and manufacture of liquor is con-
fined to incorporated towns that are
sufficiently pOliced. If the aim If the
bill is to drive the saloons and di5til-
leries out of the rural districts, the
friends Of the bill must strengthen it
here There are many incorporated
towns in North Carolina that are alto
gether rural. They are as rural as
the pristine wilderness SO far IS hand
ling the liquor traffic is concerned. 1t
is wrong to inflict the distilleries and
saloons upon these towns. But this is
not the main point. My objection lies
in the fact that to leave the Watts bill
as it is will be merely to cause the
diStillerS and saloon men to lind some

Unless the bill shall be stTen2 4
ened here. it will not accomplish its
purpose: 1t will not put the saloons

Again, there is nothing in The Watts
bill to prevent tho shipment of liquor
from one county into another, or from
an incorporated town to an unincOrpo-
rated rural district. AS | have trav-

To the Editor:
The Watts bill as passed by the
House makes the following proVts-
ions:
/. Prohibition of, manufacture and
sale Of intoxicating liquors OUTSIDE OF
incorporated towns and cities, with
the following exceptions:
(a) Druggists may sell upon writ
ten prescription Of a legally qualified
physician;
(b) Wine or cider manufactured
from grapes or fruit grown on lana Oh
the manufacturer or purchased by
him from growers, may be sold IN ally
quantity and drunk on the promises
If the grapes or fruit were grown on
the manufacturer lands, he must sell
in quantities of not less than one gal
lon, and there must be no drinking on
the premises.
(c) Brandy manufactured from lr'ilI
or grapes may be sold in orl&llal
packages of not less than five gallons.
H. Elections in towns and cities on
question of Saloons, Distillerics, DIS

Derfecting 1t will not satisfy the
people Of the State as it stands. Not
only will it not, but it will not achieve
the purposes of it's promoters. | am
sure the General Assembly will be
wise to convert the Watts bill into the
London bill
The Watts bill was put through the
House by men who wanted stronger
temperance legislation. They and the
DeODlc in North Carolina now look -
the Senate to put in this stronger leg
islati0n. That in this work Of
STRENGTHENING they will follow the
lines of the London bill is aSSured!y
to be hoped-since the popular will is
clearly for this bill.
Let me point out certain particulars
in which the Watts bill must De

Of it's promoters;
G) In respect to the manufacture

man to manufacture and sell VINE or

seller purchases the fruit with which
to make the wine or cider. But II he

reasonable to expect him to do any

give them justice-all they have a

Twelfth judicial

Reports from the Twelfth judicial
district say that the campaign goes
we'll in the entire district, with good
prospects for nearly a full populist
vote. If this materializes, 1t is a
foregone conclusion that Judge Willis
Il. Hand will be elected.
And he deserves to be. Despite his
name, the Judge is not one Of those
"gladhand" mixers who Jolly every
elector into thinking that the wheels
would stop if he were defeated. On
the contrary, he is reserved, digni-
fed man; thorough lawyer and a
populist who clearly understands the
reasons why millions toll for bare
living while few thousand live in
luxury without work.
Judge Hand is a conscientious man
who will dispense justice without fear
or favor Of anyone. He is the peoples
candidate. His opponent. Judge Hos
teller. is the railroad choice, selected
after a long, bitter fight among the
vsrious railroad candidates in the dis
trict. There are plenty of republican
farmers in the Twelfth judicial dis
trict. but thev had no voice In select
ing the republican candidate for judge.
