Mr. Donaldson, Chairman of a Select Committee, sub-
mitted the following
REPORT.
The report of the Select Committee, to whom was referred
the petition of Dawson Lawrence and others, citizens of How-
ard county, praying the General Assembly to forbid the sale
of intoxicating drinks within four miles of Glenelg P. O., in
said county.
Your Committee respectfully report that they have consid-
ered the petition referred to them, and cannot recommend
that the prayer of the same be granted, because they con-
sider the subject of intemperance and the ills arising from it,
and their prevention, too wide to be dealt with by any mere
local checks and prohibitions which might only change the
seat of the evil, without lessening its power for harm.
