The Need of Temperance Legislation

To the Editor: l want to put myself
on record in regard to the whiskey traf-
fic and to express to you my appreca-
ton of your noble efforts in behalf of
temperance legislation. Would to God
we had more men with the courage of
their convictions. Men who would stand
for right, regardless of fear or favor. I
honestly believe that whiskey causes
more sorrow and distress than any other
single agency. 1t is the essence of
anguish and woe and the concentrated
extract of tears. 1t turns the husband
into beast and the father into a brute.
1t converts honor into dishonor and
changes love into hate. Truly it "biteth
like a serpent and stingcth like an
adder
1 have seen tstrong young men VITA
bright prospects before them not caring
whether they lived or died; and i have
heard another wishing he was dead, yes
dead and in hell and all because of this
liquid damnation, which makes very
hell on earth. .,o1-
Ruin the party indeed! Shame on tho
man who would resort to such an argyll
ment. If our party is sustained by such
curse them may God consign it to
'fnnocuous desuetude." There are those
who say it will injure trade. If our
towns, cities and States are built on such
a dangerous traffic then let them fall.
THE love of money is the root of all
evil" Give us a crust in peace and con-
tentment rather than a feast in the an
guish and woe cursed by whiskey.

North Carolina:
We, the undersigned committee APP
pointed, waited upon the citizen of New
Bern with petition asking your Honor
able Body to enact and make law the
London Bill" regulating the manufac-
turc and sale of intoxicating liquors.
The terms of the bill were explained
and a majority of our intelligent voters
signed the petition with a readiness and
Cheerfulness which was marked. Seeing
that our desires are in danger of being
compromised VIC feel it our duty to say:
That we, as representatives of the
signers of this petition shall consider the
substitute of the Watts Bill a weak
compromise. almost farce and will be
a reflection upon the intelligence of the
temperance sentiment of our people,
The passage of the London Bill is,
we believe. the earnest desire of a ma

the sentiment of temperance was seen
to be growing. Resolutions endorsing
the action of the delegation that were in
Raleigh last week in taking strong
grounds for temperance legislation was
unanimous. There never has been such
agitation as now on this subject in this
section and the demand is that something
should be done for the suppression of the
whskey traffic. ur people here are in ia
vor of strong legislation. We are not, how
eyer. in position to know what is the best
way to get what is wanted, but we can
promise the whole State that the man
or party who leans to the liquor interest
will have to reckon with a people who
think tS2y know what is good statesman
