Mann Bill to Be Pressed
byTemperance Men

The whiskey question is developing into
very live one in the Legislature and
bids fair to be even more SO in a very
short while.
Senator Graham Claytor, OF Bedford.
has prepared and will offer In a few days
< II not to-day. general dispensnry law.
which will apply to the entire State The
bill will embody some Of the features
Of the South Carolina plan and others
similar to those Of the local dispensary
laws now In force at Franklin, in South
ampton county and other towns Of tho
State. One OF the interesting facts in
connection with the matter Is that Sena-
tor Clayton has conferred with Judge
William Hodges Mann on tho subject.
and the latter agrees with the Bedford
Senator that the passage OF the measure
would go a long way toward solving tho
liquor question.
Senator Claytor has prepared the
measure with the utmost caro- and says
he will press,it earnestly when 1T shall
have been offered.
FOR LOCAL OPTION.
The bill will provide that any county,
city or town in the State may vote upon
the question of having a dlspensary. and
wherever 1t shall be carried the general
law will apply and govern all with per-
fect uniformity.
Senator j. N. Hartman. Of Tazewell,
who Is a. temperance advocate and a
preacher as well as a lawyer, said last
night that he and those who stood with
him would fight the measure, as they
did not believe that liquor should be
sold in any form in the State.
si II believe my bill Is the only solu-
/ tion Of the liquor question" said sena-
tor Claytor in discussing the matter last
night. and so believing, ! shall do my
best to secure Its passage"
The Mann liquor bill is being earnestly
urged by the church and temperance peo-
pie all over the State and will likely bo
considered along with the measure to be
offered by Senator Claytor.
The Senate passed by the considera-
tion Of Senator Harmnn's habitual-drunk-
ard bill yesterday, and 1t will come up
on its engrossment again to-day.
