TO FIGHT PROHIBITION
Liquor Dealers In Nortl, Carolina Try
ing to Rally Their Forces.
Especial to The Times Dispatch


WILMINGTON, N. c., February s.
That the liquor dealers of North Caro-.
lima intend, or at least strongly want
to fight the enactment of prohibition III
the coming State election Is made
manifest by call to arms that has
Just been made. The local liquor deal
other liquor dealers in the state, espe-
Winston. calling for a meeting to be
10th. the object being to organize a
state association, to affiliate with tie
National Liquor Dealers Association,
and fight against prohibition.
The letter sets forth the fact that an
organized fight must be made. articles
being inserted in leading newspapers
Of the State and orators employed. and
that there is strong hope for the cause,
as there is a probability that the dis.
contented elements in North Carolina
can be organized against prohibition.
1t gives as in this class nearly all the
Republicans. the Democrats who
have been made mad by hostile legis-
lation. and those Democrats who deem
the provisions of the Long-Dowd bill,
under which the election Is called,
farce, as 1t does not permit the voters
in prohibition places to pass on any
but the status of the wet places
The outcome OF the meeting will be
awaited with interest, especially as
some of the liquor dealers seem loath
to make large monetary contributions,
thinking that there is no hope what
ever under the legislative act.

A subcommittee of the senate Commit
tee on the judiciary. consisting of
Senators Knox, of Pennsylvania; Full
ton, OF Oregon, and Bacon, OF Georgin,
to-day gave an extended nearing on
the Tilllnan bill providing that uron
the arrival of liquors within State,
and before delivery to consig,ee.
they shall be subject to The operation
ofEthe laws OF the state. In the same
manner as though such liquor had been
produced in the state.
Mrs. l.. NJ. Stevens. national prcst-
dent of the w. c. r. u, said that In
Maine bogus express companies operate
ss,u,rreptttiously through keepers OF
blind tigers" etc In that way, she
said. it is never possible to trace liquor
&c the consignees. as contemplated by
the law as now interpreted by the
supreme Court. She wanted the law
amended SO that the liquor might be
seized at the point Of destination with
out regard to the consisree.
Opponents of the bill appeared In the
persons of George w. Vest, president of
the National Vial and Bottle Manufac-
turers' Association and William Laun-
err, secretary Of the National Glass
Blowers Association. who claimed the
proposed legislation threatened their
business, which they said employs
10000 people.
Senator Bacon. of Georgia, suggested
that when prohibition laws were en-
acted In Georgia there was big brew
cry near his home. which every one
supposed would be closed down.
But" added Senator Bacon, they
began to make beer that mad no all
