Drys May Boycott N. c.
Stores That Handle Beer

An appeal to "buy dry" to pat
ronize grocers and other retailers
who do not deal in beer CT other
alcoholic liquors and brews, was
one of the high spots in an address
delivered in Charlotte last week by
Mrs. Howard M. Hoge, president
of the Virginia Women's Temper
ance Union and recording secre-
tary before a gathering of sup
porters of the Dry cause.
Mrs. Hoge spoke at the final
session of an all-day conference
held at the Charlotte hotel by
members of the Woman's Chris
tan Temperance union from the
two Carolinas and Virginia. The
conference was marked by passing
of recommendations demanding
immediate recognition of the
rights of all dry areas to full state
and federal protection, protesting
against repeal of the Reed amend
ment on liquor advertising, asking
for a ban on all forms of liquor
advertising, a new program of
alcohol education, a boycott of
stores and hotels selling liquor, a
movement for better and cleaner
motion pictures, a basic study Of
the whole tax situation, and de
nouncing liquor propaganda.
In her address, Mrs. Hoge asked
the w. C. T.. u. workers to patro-
nize grocers and other business
firms not dealing in alcohol liq-
uors-even in the "so-calIed non
intoxicating beer of 81" She de-
ciared that science proves that
any amount of alcohol is INJURIOUS
ana SAID That while prohibition
was made possible 'by the arous-
ed church recognizing the evil
and harmfulness of the iinuor
traffic." the repeal of the Eight
tcenth Amendment was brought
about by "avarice appetite, and
apathy"
Just as the leopard cannot
change his spots John Barleycorn
cannot be reformcd,' she declared.
mo matter what laws may be
made to cripple the beverage in
dustries, they cannot and will not
be obeyed," she quoted from one
editorial in a Brewers Journal.

Income Revenues
Reveal Big Drop
Nearly Half Million Behind Last
Year, Says A. ]. Maxwell.

Income taxes collected to March
II, inclusive, are nearly half a
million dollars behind the amount
collected to the same date last
year, this years collections on in
come for 1888 being 4,S45,o54,-
90, of $~433,312.15 under the S.
27S,366.75 collected to the same
date last year, Commissioner Of
Revenue A. ]. Maxwell reports.
Budget estimates, included the
general assembly figures placed the
income tax revenue at $6,S00,000,
but few officials believe that this
figure will be reached. Greatly
reduced earnings of tobacco COM
panies, especially Reynolds, which
pays practically all of its income
tax in this state, is responsible for
the drop, although there have been
increases from income from textile
mills and other sources. The
postponed returns are expected to
be about the same as last year, and
there is no way of estimating the
amount.
