Resolutions passed by members of the Friends of Temperance: to encourage people to abandon voluntarily intoxicating drinks; to work for legislation to prevent the County Court from issuing licenses to sell liquor in any quantity unless by petition of a majority of the voters in an area; and to propose for the legislature candidates who support temperance. This is signed by P. Adams, Pres., and D.P. Gregg, Secy. Included is a motion to nominate Isaac Thacker, Esqr., E.W. Ogburn, Esqr., and Dr. Shubal G. Coffin as candidates to serve in the House of Commons of North Carolina in the next legislature, to work towards the friends of temperance goals.
