THE SOUHTSlDE
SWANSbORO To
HAVE . Dry RALLY
BIG MEETING IN INTEREST OF
PROHIBITION TO BE HELD
TONIGHT.

Speakers of note, who are thorough
ly familiar with the arguments on
Statewide prohibition. will hold a
temperance rally at Hull street and
Broad Rock road. Swansboro, tonight,
and large attendance is expected II
the weather Is not Indictment.
The saloon OF the Southside has
long been an open question on the
Southside. The long line OF saloons
and mail order houses on the prin-
cipal street Is source OF annoyance
to many citizens Of South Richmond.
Only a few months ago the citizens
of Swansboro voted out the dispen-
sary from that town by a large ma
jority. This Is only one instance
which shows the attitude of South
siders on the liquor question.
Several other organizations have
had meetings on the Southside in the
interest of Statewide prohibition,
among the most important being the
rally held on Washington square under
the auspices Of the Woman's Christian
union. Mrs. Ropp, who has conduct
ed a strenuous campaign throughout
the State In the interest Of prohibit
ton, spoke at this meeting. 1t was
the largest attended of any public
gathering ever held on the South
side.
There are still many voters on the
Southside who have not decided
which way to vote as yet, but there
la little doubt that Statewide will be
endorsed by majority OF South Rich
rnond voters.

NINE WORKERS
ACCEPT WILSON'S
PEACE PLANS
PRESIDENT PLEASED AT SUCCESS
OF HIS EFFORTS TO COMPOSE
DIFFICULTIES IN COLORADO.

Washington. Sept l5.-- The United
Mine Workers Of America today ac-
cepted President Wilson's proposal
for a settlement Of The Colorado
strike. II now remains with the
operators including the Rockefeller
interests. to say whether they viii ac-
cept the plan and end the conditions
which have broken down civil gov
crnmc7t In Colorado. and resulted in
much bioodshcd.
The presidents plan. which was
formulated by a commission of gov
eminent employees after an extended
investigation, provides for the estab-
fishing of three years truce be-
tween the miners and the operators.
during which difficulties are to be
submitted to locally elected grievance
committees. over which commission
appointed by the president is to act
as court of appeals.
A letter from the high officers OF
the United Mine Workers informed
the president of their acceptance Of
the governments plan subject to the
approval of the miners of Colorado,
whose representatives had been called
10 meet for an expression OF their
views at Trinidad today.
The action of the operatives or
Eanization was especially pleasing to
the president, inasmuch as 1t places
the burden of rejection of the peace
proposal and the continuance Of the
conditions which necessitates the
presence Of federal troops in the Colo
RADIO strike district upon the shoulders
of the Rockcfeilers and other mine
owners. Friends OF the president be

great cities Ead voted against the bill
the active politicians of both parties
IN these three cities were against pro-
hibftion: there was no overwhelming
public opinion In these cities in favor
~ the enforcement of the law. In
Memphis and Nashville the city au-
thorities were out and out against the
enforcement of the law and are charg-
ed with using the saloons for political
purposes. herce there was no police
interference. In Chattanooga the LIQUOR
dealers had become respectable. the
authorities were not out and out In
favor Of liquor, but there was at first
no strong public opinion against
liquor and IL was indeed difficult to
get indictments and proof There were
compromises. The sale of beer was
permitted and thus the saloons kept
open and some whiskey was openly
sold.
The people by degrees discovered
that the disrespect for this law bred
disrespect for all law and determined
that this law must he enforced or re-
pealed, The majority of both political
parties wero and are against repeal.
The legislature of 1913 passed bills
allowing all places where liquor. in
Guiding beer, Is gold TO be declared
PUBLIC nuisances and abated as such.
Public opinion. regardless of party
is in favor of the strict enforcement of
the law--the liquor interests earc
ruined and PROSTATE. Their only hold
is the shipping-house whence ship
merits can be made legally to other
States and few clubs. The former
should be closed and no liquor stored
In this State and the Clubs should be
treated as any other dispenser OF
liquor. The clubs now run on false
theory OF our courts, that they do not
sell liquor.
There IL no doubt that Tennessee is
now dry ana both parties have declar-
ed for 1t and the people are for 1t.
Not Half Former Arrests.
The police authorities inform me
that there are not half the arrests for
drunkenness as formerly and they are
on the decrease. The old soaks Will
find whiskey. however mean. will get
drunk and will be arrested. The
young men are not encouraged to
drink: public sentiment is against 1t.
The old crop OF drunkards is irrigated
from the outside, the new crop Of
young men are not being nurtured on
whiskey and crave 1t less and less each
day,
Prohibition does prohibit. 1t is be-
ing enforced all over Tennessee. There
are some bootleggers and blind tigers,
but they are having hard time, and
it Is not an inviting field.
1t was unnecessary to temporarily
destroy the Democratic party in Ten
nessee to bring about prohibition, the
Democrats passed all the real pro-
hibition measures.
hope prohibition will not be made
a party issue In Virginia, but I hope
and pray liquor may be banished from
every inch OF the sacred soil Of our
grand old Commonwealth.

Washington, Sept. 15.-Conferees
Of the senate and house on the Clay

tive agreement today TO restore to
the bill section 2 of the measure as
1t passed the house, which was aimed
at price discrimination, with some
modification and the omission Of the
penalties carried by the house bill,
and also to restore section four OF
the house bill, less the penalties.
which is aimed at price fixing con-
tracts. The agreement is but tenta-
tive, and may be upset In the future
conferences. Section 3 of the house
bill, by agreement of the conferees.
will remain in the bill. The con-
ferees after the adjournment today
were inclined to believe that they
would be able 70 complete their work

History OF prohibition.
The history of prohibition in Ten
nessee is as follows:
In 1877 the first ''four mile law
was passed. This law prohibited the
sale of any intoxicating liquor within
tour miles of an Incorporated school.
except in Incorporated towns and was
passed TO protect the students of the
University of the South, at Sewanee.
The circle was widened by the act OF
1887 &C. 1879, prohibiting the sale
within four miles of any schoolhouse.
public or private. except in towns.
r + fffteee.-i es-trt,ttit country dis
tricts dry and did away with the cross
road grog shops.
Then the attack on towns began.
The act of 1899 &c. 22D allowed towns
under 1000 to reincorporate and then
sales of liquor therein were thereafter
or The special repeats thus became a
vote or action for or against liquor
and many towns so voted or special
acts were passed and liquor was shut
out Then in 1903 towns of not more
than 5000 population could reincor-
poratc and thereafter sales OF liquor
were prohibited therein. Under these
laws many of the larger towns went
dry and in / 907 the limit was raised to
all MIA want
dry except Memphis, Nashville, Chat
tanooga and the little town of La
Toilette. in East Tennessee.

These four places then deluged the
dry portions Of the State with liquor
and did an enormous business The
country and the smaller towns re-
belled The liquor interests In the
cities became frightened--there must
he some restriction upon the open
saloon
Then II was that the legislature OF
1907 &c. 1922. passed what Is known

should be located and how they should
be regulated. The system was most
excellent one. The saloons were quiet
and respectable: no music was allowed
no chairs---no tables: but liquor was
abundant, though the business was
orderly and respectable. Drunkenness
