(The State.) 2 Columbia, Oct. 23.?Resolutions jj unanimously adopted at the confer- ^ ence yesterday in Columbia of leading prohibitionists are as follows: . "Resolved, that the time has arriv- ^ ed for the enactment and enforcement g of laws to prohibit the manufacture, ^ transportation and sale of all intoxi- ^ eating liquors as a beverage, through- t> out the State. ^ "For this purpose petitions should j be circulated at once in every voting j precinct of the State, memorializing 'ej the legislature to provide for an election throughout the State, to be held o, about the middle of September, 1915, p submitting the question of Statewide prohibition to the qualified voters of p this State. p "That an executive committee be ^ selected by this body, to be composed of one member from each county and seven from Richland county, for the purpose: (1) Of organizing the said counties; (2) to circulate the peti- m tions; (.'}) to solicit funds for defray- ^ ing expenses; (1) to collect and pre- |^( sent these petitions; (5) to arrange for a vigorous campaign in case an w election is called; (??) to do anything j ( else necessary for the accomplishment of Ibis purpose. g, "We request the legislature to en- vq act statutes giving to us the benefits |j of the Webb law. w "And for the enactment of stringent and efficient laws for the < n- jK forcement of prohibition when voted, o "We invoke the assistance and co- j operation of the Anti-Saloon league, jj the women's temperenee associations vj and the newspapers, and all other g agencies which stand for civic right- y eousness, pledging our prayers, g purses and personal efforts to the ac- j), complishment of this purpose." Leading prohibitionists of South jj Carolina held a conference in Colum- q. bia yesterday at which it was decided to memorialize the general assembly for legislation making the Webb law available against shipment of liquor . from other States in "dry" counties of ' } this State, and, further, to undertake a systematic campaign for a special JP election next September, at which, so " the prohibitionists believe, the people 'a will vote out the liquor traffic alto- al gcther. A statement regarding the confer- P? ence was issued after the meeting, 'y The statement follows: s*] Any South Carolinian who imag- I1.? ines for a moment that the prohibition movement in this State is dead or even slightly ill, should have attend- wl ed the enthusiastic meeting held at 2 p. m. in the Y. M. C. A. building, Co- J'a iunibia, on Thursday. Nearly 40 representative men from various walks of life and many different sections of the State were present. One of the ?r most noteworthy facts was that every man apueared to feel absolute!v <nr? co that prohibition in this State is a a matter of a very short time. It was ^ worth going miles to witness the ear- 1 ! nestness and whole souled determina- . tion of those present. With simh a spirit, failure is simply out o ->rt&e question. The meeting was called to order by J, the Rev. C. E. Burts, 1). D., who in his happy manner stated the object of the gathering and asked the Rev. W. J. *jY( Langston of Columbia to open the meeting with prayer. ne Chairman, J. I.. Minis. . An election of officers was then en- j, tered into and J. L. Minis of Edge- la field was elected chairman and Dr. D,a Carl B. Epps of Sumter, secretary. V>r A motion to allow each speaker only five minutes was passed. Dr. Burts stated that at a former meeting of ..V five Columbia citizens it was decided to call this meeting. He considered J11 that it was more democratic to bring IVf the matter beforo?the people directly than to appeal to the legislature to .. 1 pass a prohibition law. This opinion , was held by the majority of those present and the resolutions which are }ve printed in full herewith were unani- !e' mously passed amid great enthus- V?ei f a i lasm. ; J. Eraser Lyon, former attorney ,n general, made a forcible address, ai d a special plea for perfect harmoby . j among prohibitionists. He held that .a, t Ik. ill ill.,..1 in.,, ?U? .1 1 1 -- A(l .... inu wiuv mcuiwii i>y . . which I>1 iiid tigers can lie restrained no in certain cities. The Rev. W. .J. Langston and otli- .. , ers suggested that a second meetir.ir during the fair would be advisable, but is was decided that the present ^ time was the best for definite action. u_, I). M. Crosson, M. !>., of Leesville nn| stated that there was a majority for iprohibition in both houses of the leg- . islature, according to an investigation which has been made. William Trumble of Kingsvillc 'j.v< spoke in favor of immediate and very s definite action. or W. I>. de Loach of Camden thought nl<* that the sentiment of the people had / already been tested and that the leg- did islature should he appealed to at its Kv next meeting. K. J. 1\ Howell of Columbia was .- thr Favor of putting a petition squarely Joi jefore the people, and each man getting to work in real earnest. K. R. Brown of Marion county slat- tie ad that everything pointed to an over- ed whelming victory for prohibition in to the next election. I). W. Robinson of Columbia St< thought local option a complete failLire and favored going before the peo- chi pie. thi Dr. T. A. Quattlebaum said that he tie Favored a fight before the people and poi that he believed the incoming admin- coi istration would make a real effort to thi anforce the laws. mi P. J.
