The Democrrtic ?x?'cutive Cora

' Lions were adopted :

Resolved further, That allcaodi

AN INDIAN'S PETITION.
The Origin of tne WVatbei
Vmie over the Opera House.
^ [From the News an > Courier ]
A* so roil -h has "been recenth
said in South Carolina on the sub
ject of prohibition, some of your
readers might l>e interested in what
was probably the earliest prohibi
tion petition in the Carolina*, if not
in the Southern colonies.. Tbih
petition was discovered in the State
archives of North Caroling a few
rears since. The p.rson froc whom
it canoe was King Hagler, [or Ilaij*.

Catawbas.
Oi* May 26, 1756, Hauler thu?
l>etilioned Chaef" Justice Henley: *'1

ing of strong liquors by the whiu
people to my people especially, neai

to one another or drink it in thei'
own ifcmilies. This wilt avoid a
great deal of mischit-f, which other
wise will happen fr?m my people
getting drunk and quarrelling with
the white people."
This petition was probably writ
ten for the chUf by some white per
son. Whether the matter was
brought to i the attention of the
: Governor I cannot say, but, as ap
l>err? from an indorsement, the
[Chief Justice promised to do so.
