Tho ascend of tho
campaign was delivered Tues-
day night in the house, by the
Hon. W. A. of Scotland Keck.
This strong and courageous hand-
ling of the moral question involved
in the dispensary agitation was
warmly received by
of the
ville people.
The hearty applause frequently
-1 from his audience indicates
that a deep seated interest is felt in
tin subject brought under review.
Mr. Dunn asserted, as his first
proposition, that whenever and
wherever men could assist in re-
the drink that it is our
duty as men to do it. The
voters of North Carolina are stirred
today, as never before in her history,
to discharge their moral claim. That
the drink exists the
land, none will question. That the
towns, cities and counties of this en-
state are moved to secure liquor
legislation, restricting the evil, by
means of a dispensary, or absolute
prohibition, none will question.
These are facts of common know-
ledge.
Mr. Carnegie has generously
agreed to donate a library building
to the Normal and Industrial Col-
at Greensboro. Now to give
him the opportunity to de the right
let him be advised that G. F.
College has also been burned.
If everybody could feel the pang
of whiskey, as the man with a
nobody would drink It.
That the thinking classes of men
all over the state, lawyers,
ministers, editors and teachers
should rise up, an exceeding great
army, to agitate, to direct a
campaign, shows conclusively
that reasons exist, sufficient reasons,
to move men mightily.
The majority of men are patient,
as a rule, willing o accept anything
within reason. Existing evils must
have become exceeding great if
widespread interest and effort is
evoked to suppress it. This is true
of tho saloon business.
The evil is great and observed of
all men. The greatness of this evil
is finding a parallel in the size and
effectiveness of the organization now
fighting it.
Discussion of the of
evils that always grow up
with the saloon business, discussions
in our Sunday schools and churches
and public schools, have conspired
to bring about organized effort to
get rid of the evils. The
is rapidly taking the place of
the open saloon and the accumulated
testimony gathered from the entire
state, in favor of the dispensary is
overwhelming.
Those who load in temperance re-
form may be culled by
men of today, but not many years
hence these same will be
recognized as true promoters of pub
lie good. History is even repeat-
itself.
Some of the questions asked on
the streets and in the homes, on the
dispensary, were clearly and force-
fully answered. Objections to the
dispensary were fully stated and
fearlessly considered. It is said for
instance. believe in
Let us get rid entirely of the
liquor This correct in
principle. No one will dispute it.
But if we can't have the beat thing,
let us accept and work for the
best.

as is now proposed. The state is
now a partner in a business
to be beyond state control,
although licensed by the state. The
man after paying a high
to do business must make all
he and he is tempted to sell on
Sunday and at night, to boys and to
drunkards. Multiply these evils by
eleven, and contrast the product with
one dispensary, operated under
rigid rules, with no temptation to
the manager to increase sales, and
sales, have the dispensary,
if there is any question,
clearly before you.
Many men take their first step to-
ward a drunkard's grave in the bar-
room, they begin to drink, not be-
cause they have any taste for liquor,
but simply because of the social
of the saloon. Men arc
socially inclined, and this is
right, until they drink strong, drink
treating each other in the saloon.
A dispensary can't sell drinks,
and allows no loafing. The
ken rows, fights and gambling, now
attending saloon business, will be
eliminated by the dispensary-
Docs any one have the temerity to
say that this gain to a town is not
worth working for
Any business or that
now exists ought to be able to show
a reason for its existence. Some
men object to Sunday schools, but a
good reason can be shown to sustain
them. Others oppose tho church
but sufficient grounds can be
to support the us an
institution. Can a single good
son be given in support of the
loon There is absolutely nothing
worthy about the business, it confers
no benefit, it adds no blessing. On
the contrary, it is an evil institution
and works nothing but evil, and
should be closed by a vote of the
people. As a matter of fact, many
of our states have already done so.
In Texas three fourths of the
ties will not allow a drop of
key to be sold. In Tennessee only
cities now license the sale of liquor.
In all the Southern states this sub-
is before the people and by de-
whiskey is being voted out.
