SarY.
The beat way Of controlling the gale
of LIQUOR has been agitating the minds
of the people OF this country for many
years; the sale OF 1t has been declared
an evil by the highest court Of the
| land and the question for us now is
which ig tho best way Of controlling 1t
In this state, -,i.tzl
The state dispsngary system was
adopted, ard, afte- trial Of thirteen
years, a great majority Of tho people
Of the state have said that they wish
it abolished and that each county shall
be allowed the right to say whether
they will have prohibition or county
dispensarieg.
The will Of the psopls is supreme
aDd we should heed their demands
Many Of you wore elected upon the
same platform and the matter ia now
Esforo you gentlemen. It lS for you
to say whether the will of the people
shall DO carried out or not. Let Us
do our duty Without fear OF favor.
BUCKET SHOPS.
Another matter that I desire TO
bring to your attention is the enact.
ment of q law preventing tine opera
tlon of what are known as Bucket
Shops" or cotton or atock exchanges.
This Is q species of speculation that Ia
taking thousands of dollars from this
state, is demoralizlng our oitizons, and
is bringing many Of them to poverty
and to ruin.
The states of North Carolina and
Georgia have already prohibited them
from doing business within their
boundaries and we owe 1t to ourselves
and tc tho good name OF the Rtate
that We folio the example so worth
iIy set us. We now have On our stat
ute book an aot declaring unlawful,
contracts for the sale of articles for
future delivery, made under certain
circumstances" etc.
Let US now follow this up with an
Act prohibiting any bucket shop or
cotton or stock exchange or any other
exchange Of like character, from doing
busineRs In this state.
ASSAULT ETC.
I further wish to call your attention
to another matter which I consider
as grave importance at this particular
time in our history, and that is tho
enactment OF . Law providing the
death penalty to any male person
making an assault upon female with
intent to raVish, granting the right
to the jury trying the case to fix the
punishment at life imprisonment in
the State Penitentiary If In their
Judgment the facts warrant . Less
punishment than death.
In this day when We read OF 80
many assaults of this character being
made, 1t bshoovss us to wake up to
tho situation and make the penalty 30
esveIo nat the woman of this state
me- 10 protected from this heinous
crime and the perpetrators punished
30 severely that all will be deferred
from committing the same.
I further recommend that an Act
be passed providing that In all cases
of rape OF assault with intent to raw.

LIQUOR QUESTION.

Oae Of the most important subjects
that you have before you for con8id-
GRAFTON, Gentlemen Of the General AS
sembly, is the liquor question.
The people of the state have spoken
of, no uncertain sound, and we cannot
mistake thetr meaning, thst the state
dsspenssry system must be abolished
and that there must be enacted IN ltE
T,stead, Q Law providing for local county
option as between county proh1 hition
and county dtspenBarieB.
In making my campaign this past
summer, one of the principal isgueE
bafore the people was the question Of
ttass dispsnsary or local county op
tlun ssi between county prohibition
and county dispensaries.
The plank in my platform upor
that question is GS follows:
II am opposed to the system OF 8
state dispeasary. I am la favor of To-
cal county option between county
prohibition and county dlspensaries
Let each county say for itsolf wheth'
er IL desires that liquor shall be SOLD
in that county. or that 1t shall not
be sold therein. This systena has been
and Is now tho law in BeVeral OF the
states around and near US, and 1t Is
regarded with satisfaction so far as
have been able to learn. You know
what you had rather have In you
county, and you ghould, There fore
have q right to say 30, and not lei
other counties vote upon what youl
county ahould have. You manage
your own county affairs in every thing
elsa, why not in this NATTER
IT favor each county voting upon
that question for themselVeS. II the
vote is for liquor to be sold, then lei
o county dispensary be operated lr
that county under the restrictions
now thrown around the sale OF liquor
with. such other regulations as the
Legislature may deem best. Let the
county boa.d of control be appointed
by the governor and let the board 90
! appointed iasve charge Of the whole
matter for that county, said board to
report to the judge at each term OF
the circuit court FOR that county OF
all of its aotings and dolngs, and then
lot the Judge hand that report TO the
grand Jury for their inspection and
inveBtigation, with such Instructions
as be may think proper. Whatever
profit is made will 20 to the county.
Let the dispensers be paid o salary
and not commission on what they
ssll. If the vote is for prohibition
then allow no liquor to be sold In such
county, and pass stringent law pro.
viding for the punishment OF all
blind tigers and other violators OF
the law, and mako 1t the duty OF the
county sheriffs, deputies, constables,
marshals, policemen, and other peace
officers to aee to it that this law is en-
forced and all violators are brought to
Justice and punishment.
II would be glad II no liquors were
sold % q beverage, but the conditions
are such at this time, that I believe
this to be the best way to deal with
the question"
7 stand upon that platform to-day
and I urge that you enact law abol'
ishing the state dispenssry system ant
give to the people Of each county the
right to vote upon tho question oI

EDUCATION.
Our state constitution requires that
we shall provide q liberal system of
free public schools for all children be-

poWer and influence Of an educated
people and that the strength and
prosperity Of a state depend ultimate.
IL mn ,tha inteiligenge Of the aver

It therefore, behooves u8 to enact
such lava as will fully carry out this

The stste institutions Of higher
learning are all well equipped and 're
doing o great work In the education
Of many Of our girls and coys, but
these fortunate ones are but o meagre

Prohibition Legislation There is


Prohibition L Legis1ation-There is
much interest. st.around the.state as to

com missioner, under the new law and
what he will be able to accomplish
when so appointed. The new COM
missioner will have an Office in the

detailed to keep said Office open. 1t

appoint..some one satisfactory to the
leading .prohibitionists of the state
and the secretary Of the state en-
forcement league; George Murrey of
Sherbrook has been suggested for the
position. The law gives 90, 600 a year
for carrying out the provisions of the
act. Among the other prohibition
measures, which passed are: Prohibit
ing the letting Of buildings for anti

Raised Subscription Price-The
Courtenay Gazette has done the SEN
sible businesslike thing, raised its
subscription price from 81 to $3.50 a

in fact of everything that enters ins

Editor FAIRIES is to be congratulated

Another interesting item IN the
paper is the refusal of the Koreans

account of a. murder..of gentlemans'

handsomely framed picture, as a
compliment to the senator from

!, indica ting his gratitude at the to-
ken of esteem BY his fellow members,
and said it was the last speech he ex-
pected to make in the senate. Secre-
tary Foley was presented with pic.
ture of the senate group by the mem-
bers of the clerical force. Senator
Regan was presented with the gavel
