The bill making it a misdemcanor
to sell or give away any liquor with

ment had been incorporated by the
committee, providing that man could
give away Il drink provided he did noi
do SO With intent to influence the cleo
| ton, following the language of the
| Code. McNinch and Alexander. Of
| Mecklenburg. Powers, Davis and Muir
| ply, of Buncombe. spoke against the
amendment, saying it would be wcll
enough TO suspend the dispensing or
| liquid hospitalities even in private
| homes one day in two years. They
| claimed it would be far better to do
| this than by adopting the amendment
| to practically license the giving away
| of liquor on election day. It would
! be impossible to convict anybody UNI
der the language of the amendment.
/ Judge Winborne said 1t was an out
| rage TO brand every man a criminal
! who in the privacy of his own, should
| extend II common courtesy to a friend.
| simply because it happened to be on
election day. Under the law as was
| advocated, a man would be a criminal
| who gave his wife or his cook a small

like applications.

STILL AND CHURCH
Night Services Stopped
By Drunkenness.
A DeplorabIe State Of Affairs is Re.
yealed in This Communication
From Advance. Wants the
Scales Bill.

TO the Editor: Last Tuesday !
spoke before the Committee on Liquor
Traffic III behalf of the Scales bill to
prohibit distilleries in the town of Adj
vance. One statement ! made was
misunderstood. The distillers through
personal testimony and afiidaN its,
claimed that the conditions in Adj
vance were as good as they Used 10 be.
Having heard many stories of the
drunkenness. fighting and murder OF
scverais years ago when the distiller-
res were in the country, only Il short
distance from the town. | stated That
II all | had heard was true, L was all
most willing TO admit that conditions
we're as good now as they used to be.
/ had I'm mind not the time Immediate
ly preceding the moving in of the dis
tilleries, but several years before that
time.
Stree my return from Raleigh
have asked some of the CITIZENS about
this and l find that | was mistaken.
Two men who have lived here for
twenty-five years and whose word can
be relied upon told me yesterday that
there was more drunkenness and dis
order in 1901 than they had ever
known before. One thing / am sure
Of: condirions have been growing
worse during the past yer. Drunken
ness is on the increase. We had so
much disorder at church, caused al
most entirely by drinking men and
boys, that | and my board of stewards
thought ii best to discontinue the reg
ular services at night. This we did
last November. Since then We have
had no preaching at night. except on
January 22nd.. when the presiding ell
der. Rev. J. r. Scroggs. being unable
to reach here until evening. conducted
the service. was told the next MORN
ing that Il young mar sat back in The
congregation and cursed the preacher
while he was preaching. II the
House of Representatives knew the
conditions here as they really exist
do not think they would hesitate to
pass the Scales bill and give us some
relief. Yours truly,
