~ T.. Methodists Demand
Prohibition Referendum

RALEIGH, Nov. 8 M The
North Carolina Conference OF the
Methodist church, holding it's annu-
al meeting here, today asked the
1915 General Assembly to call a
referendum "for the restoration Oh
laws for absolute prohibition OF the
LIQUOR traffic." and heard Blsnop
Edwin Holt Hughes of Washington
deliver a temperance address IN
,,onor of the anniversary of the con-
ference's board of temperance.
The prohibition resolution, pre-
scented by the Rev. L. D. Hayman
of Whiteville, said that 1.-The peo-
ple of North Carolina have twice
voted to make illegal the manu-
facture and sale of intoxicants. In
defiance of this verdict OF outlaw
ing strong liquor, it is SOLD IN 20
counties and other intoxicants I'M
der legislative sanction are sold IN
most counties.
# recalled that all candidates
for governor early this year had
pledged their efforts for such ref
erendum, and added:
''The people have secure state
control of public schools, public
roads, and have spoken out. for
state control of liquor traffic. Pro-
hibition should no longer be denied
through local exemptions from the
statewide prohibition mandate"
The resolution recommended that
So, 1000 be included in the regular
church budget to assist the Allied
Church League for the Abolition Of
Beverage Alcohol, and urged that
courses be installed in public
schools setting forth the harmful
effects of alcohol.
Bishop Hughes told conference
that alcoholic beverages ''canr% be
legalized without SIM and added
that 1--WE will declare concerning
the beverage liquor traffic from all
the house-tops and mountainous
of the world
Josephus Daniels of Raleigh in

Gale K. Burgess of Raleigh, we'll

leader, presided at the session. DR..

president, presided at the High
Point college banquet this after
noon.
Speaking at the opening session
earlier today, Bishop W. w. Peele

that whether our transgressions
are large or small, someone else
is hurt by them. That is funda-

Women Ruled Ineligible
As Jurors By Top Court

they were not qualified, because OF
their sex. to serve as petit Jurors.
The exceptions were overruled but
the defense did rot use its peremp-
tory challenges to remove them.
1.-The right 10 vote, or to hold
office. is not the test of jury quail
fication,~ Chief Justice Stacy wrote.
THE Judge on the bench may not
be eligible to serve as a juror, ana
generally he is not. 1t is no I'M
detachment of citizenship to be dis
qualified for jury service, or to
fall outside the class designated for
such service.
In considering the broader i'm
plications of the case, it may be
well to remember that the deten-
dants are on trial, and not the Wom-
en- of the state. Our concern is with
the right of the defendants to be
tried by a jury of good and lawful
men as the law provides.
Dissenting, Associate Justice
A. F. seawen wrote that "the fact
that the Constitution itself did not
plainly say a jury of males, as 1t

1.-THE question of the jury statute

been so frequently decided upon

term men, as used in our statute

the argument that the common law
