The Other Side.

Mr.. W. A. Self OF Hickory, spoke here
Tuesday night in opposition to the
prohibition bill to be voted on the
26th OF May. He had a big crowd
to hear him, the court house being
full beyond seating capacity. The
aisles were packed and it is said II
hundred and fifty or two hundred per-
sons could not gain admission for
lack of room. 1t was representa-
tive gathering of citizens of the town
and community and a number OF pro-
hibitionists were present. The speak
er was introduced by Thad r. Man
ming who declared that the people OF
Henderson are an hospitable peo-
pie welcoming the stranger within
their gates as becometh the we'll bred
host when avisitor knocks at thedoor,
and he bespoke for Mr.. Self a respectful
hearing such as he was sure would
be given him. And save when there
! was laughter and applause more
decorous and we'll ordered set
of men has not assembled in the
court house albeit I a majority
of them perhaps came under
the head of what some are pleased
to style the ''whiskey crowd" But
it is not liquor that the thoughtful,
conservative men who see more than
one side of this question oppose the
proposed law for, and in this an in
justice is done them. But time is a
great corrector and it will all ''come
out in the wash"
Mr.. Self spoke one hour and forty
minutes and was listened to from be-
ginning to end with rapt and inter
ested attention. He discussed the
prohibition bill in its various phases
and features and from his viewpoint
argued it's merits and demerits in u
mastery manner. He was frequent
ly interrupted by applause and when
he was about to take his seat he was
urged to go on. Self made good here
He got men down off the fence and
won votes for the cause he so ably
and intelligently champions.
