04-April8811 ;s f r s r ^ . T he D avie Record V ol. IX. The Prohibition Matter. Fayetteville, N. G., Feb. 25.— I am not a prohibitionist. I am honestly and sincerely opposed to it from moral, physical, political and financial reasons. In my opinion, based upon experience, it is the most unreasonable, impracticable and im politic method of decreasing the li quor traffic. Where it prevents a few men from buying a few drinks it compels many men to send their money out of the State and buy thousands of gallons. Where it pre vents the large number of men who wiii have liquor of some description from getting pure and good whiskey at home legally, it forces them to buy illegally, from blind tigers and thereby makes them criminal vio lators of State law. Like every citizen, I recognize the e-’ils that accrue from the abuse of liquor and look upon ’the low-down bar room and cheap groggery with disgust, and I am anxious to do my full share as a citizen to destroy them and their evils. They are a relic of a past age, and have no place in the industrial civilization of the preseht day. But simply because the system needs reformation and to have its abuses corrected, is no ar gument or reason why one of the most valuable remedial agents for human suffering, and also an article of almost universal human desire, and a harmless luxury to so over whelmingly a majory of the human race, (for while 95 per cent, of our people use “intoxicating liquors” in some degree, not more than one or two per cent, of them are drunkards), should be outlawed by a State statue, absolutely forbidding the “sale or manufacture of intoxicating liquors' anywhere within the State. Simply ■ because a few old soaks will get drunk, is no reason who the 99 other good citizens, like myself, who never abuse the use of liquor, - should be deprived of the use for home-com sumption of wine, beer or other li quors, so necessary to every well- regulated household that aspires to something better than mere bread, meat and pot liquor for table and family use. Ever since the earliest days of re corded events, humanity has de manded vinous or spirituous liquor in some shape. Wherever and when ever such a demand exists for any thing, good or evil, there will be those who will supply that demand. Ifitcannotbe done legally it will surely be done illegally . A legisla tive statute cannot change the morals or desire of a man any more than it can change the color of his skin, or the impulses of his heart. The man who has never taken or who does not take a drink of some kind of an intoxicant, is an exception, and as a general rule, is a man, in whose veins flows a subsequence more like ice-water than the rich, warm, gen erous blood of a patriotic, liberty- loving American. I am quite sure that the facts will substantiate my statement when I say that 95 men out of every 1 0 0 take a drink of some kind of intoxicant whenever they desire. (I know that nearly all of my friends, who have been voting the prohibition ticket do so), and still not one per cent, of them are drunkards or criminals. The wornout argument that “the man who takes a drink will eventu ally fill a drunkard’s grave” proves its falsity, in every phase in human life. Were there the slightest truth in this favorite prohibition argument, the world would haVe ceased to exist thousands of years ago. Ihavetaken a drink of whiskey with Governor Glenn, and he appar ently enjoyed it, I do not think it hurt him; I know it did not hurt me. Ihaveenjoyed a drink of whiskey with ex-Governor Aycock, and I know of no one who can take a bigger one or carry it better than he. I have enjoyed a social drink of whiskey with Senator Simmons; and with scores of other leading and promin ent men, both saints and sinners. Some of them have attained the highest distinction, and are promin ent m the affairs of the State and nation. Will any. man dare assert that they will all eventually fill drunkards graves? Will any man say that they are undesirable citizens or unworthy of the highest trusts? Does not every man and woman know, aye well know, that tbeiy jS kS & sa MOCKSVILLE. N. C.. THURSDAY. APRIL 2. 1908.N o . 3 9 nature and desires are the same to day that they ware a few short months ago? Doies not every man know that politics is the cause and only reason for their apparent change of heart, and does not every man honestly believe that, should the election in May go Democratic, and declare that the fundamental prin ciple of Democracy, that of local self-government, shall continue to prevail in North Carolina, that they would tumble off the band wagon faster than they climbed on, and would hastily declare that their hearts were always with the boys anyhow?” Now, Mr, Editor, were I a politi cian or had I any political aspirations, might not have the nerve to write this communication, but being a plain, practical and fairly successful business man, whose ideas have not been contracted by harrow and local environments, and whose annual vis its, to the leading States and cities of this great country of ours, includ ing prohibition Maine .and Kansas, has given me opportunity to per sonally see the workings of all kinds of excise laws-and to have also lived in a so-called prohibition town for several years and seen the utter fail ure of prohibition to prohibit, can not but feel that it is my duty, as a good citizen, desiring only, the best welfare of our people and my State to say to my fellowmen that before you vote for ‘!State prohibition” and -thereby attempt by statute to abso lutely forbid the “sale or manufac ture of intoxicating liquors” any where in the State, to stop and think. Reasonoutwhat their vote will mean and what it will lead to. To vote whether your home town or county shall have barrooms or not, is altogether a different proposition. That is your right and is based upon the great base principle of Democ racy, and when the majority of a community decide^ this or any other public question, every good citizen should obey the law, but for the voters of prohibition towns and coun ties to say what excise or any other kind of local laws shall prevail in anti-prohibition towns and cities, is altogether subversion toethe great Democratic principal of local self- government, and is as wrong, as it would be, for the anti-prohibition cities to reverse the verdict of the people in the prohibition towns, etc, Stop, and think, what the result would be in your home , life if the and manufacture of intoxi cating liquors” was absolutely for bidden and carried into literal exe cution. Is there a respectable phy sician in the State,. whose services you would have, who does not pre scribe and look upon liquor in some shape, as an indispensible remedy in his daily practice? Is there a house hold in North Carolina, where it is not, at times a necessity? If it is outlawed, what are you going to put in its place? Is it hot better to vote down this fanatical piece of populis- tic political nonsense, mid then let the fairminded, patriotic, comirion- sense manhood of the State, regard less of the State, regardless of par tisanships or “politics,” get together and pass such laws as can be en forced, controlling, regulating and legalizing a traffic, that always JiaS existed and that. L believe, always will exist, in spite of all laws, human or divine, ’Tis comparitiveiy easy to do. I lookupon drunkenness as a crime. We pass laws againss theft, adultry and other similar crimes; we don’t prohibit them, but we punish for them. Why not treat public drunk enness the same way? Itwill do more for temperance in a month than prohibition ever will do. Legal ize the sale of liquor, and -the blind tiger must go out of business. It will also stop the use of the fearful concoction, sold by them which seems to be made of concentrated lye, soft soap; boiled shoe soles, tobacco juice and branch water, that is now filling out hospitals, sanitariums, Keeley and McKanna cures and jails with men suffering from all- sorts of de lirium and crime. Mr. Editor: There is no moral question involved in this State issue. Some of the most immoral, men of my acquaintance, men, who drink and debauch their home lives, pose as blatant-mouth prohibitionists. While many of our best, citizens whose lives are pure and beyond re proach are out-spoken, anti-prohibi tionists. There can be no church question involved. Does not the Christian Church legalize wine in its sacra ments? Does it not make wine the typical symbol of the blood of its founder? Does not holy writ recom mend its use for yous “infirmaties?” But, sir, there is a great polical and public question at stake, viz: Is it right, is it Democratic, is it in ac cord with the vital principals of our system of government, for one community, to regulate the local affairs of a sister community? Is it for the best interests of the public welfare, to pass laws that 4-5ths of our people will violate with impun ity? or is it best to pass laws that they can and will respect? Ifeveryvoter in North Carolina will use the reason that God has given him, and solve this question for himself and not allow himself to be mislead by the “short haired women .and long haired men” and politicians, who are seeking selfish ends, there cannot and will not be but one result. I well know that my motives in writing this communication will. be misconstrued by some, but let me say to'them, that I have no political aspirations. I naveno desire to be Senator. Congressman, Governor, Secretary of State, or to hold any other political office. During the past'38 years I have built up a busi ness that yields me a sum ample to supply every reasonable need. When radicalism, furionism and such issues have in the past menaced good gov ernment in North Carolina, I never hesitated to speak and speak plainly, and act in accordance. Exactly the same motives govern the writing of tins communication. Respectfully, J ambs D. M’N eill. Pain can be quickly stopped.

One woman who had the idea that hens could be fed cheaper and made to do as well, tried the idea of putting sawdust in said hen’s feed. They seemed to enjoy it, and tire woman, taking courage, began increasing the proportion until all the mash feed was saw dust. Then she set a hen and in due course of time all the eggs hatched, but imagine her surprise when she came to take the hen and her brood off the nest—three chicks had wooden legs, and the balance were woodpeckers! Remember that when the Stomach nerves fail or weaken, Dyspepsiaor Indigestion must always follow. But, strengthen these same weak inside neaves with Dr. Shoop’s Restorative and then see how quickly health will again return. Weak Heart and Kid ney nerves can also be strengthened with the Restorative, where Heart pains, palpitation, or Kidney weakness is found. Don’t drug the stomach, nor stimulate the Heart or Kidneys.' That is wrong. Go to the cause of these ailments. Strengthen these weak inside nerves with Dr. Shoop’s Restorative and get well. A simple, single test will surely tell. G. C. Sanford Sons Co.

This question.is to.be voted on the 26th day of May, and every voter should investigate it itfr him self, and vote his honest senti- ments. It is not in our opinion a question of temperance; for in oar opinion temperance can best be promoted1 iit homeland by a rigid enforcement of Hiws against public drunkenness, aad by local option backed by a strong public opinion. Ourpeoplearefast drifting away from the principals of local self- government-, under the leadership of a few designing: politicai^emri: gogues, and it looks like the day will soon dawn, when every-vestige of personal liberty will be forever destroyed, i hud ,.,the people ,,will : have, themselves to blame. .Take the history of the past, aiid read the annals of war and bloodshed, and fanaticism lead by, the ip.tol.qr ant priesthood of all nations have bathed the world iu, blood, kings‘ \have lost their crowns, aud thrones trying to force their religious be liefs upon others. Every Vestige of fa uaticism and intolerance should be wiped-out In a free country Every man should be amenable to the law. but the best governed are iu most jnstanees the least governed. You cannot thrust down the throats ot t he people doctrines contrary to their belief without aronsing -ani mosities and opposition which, in a, degree, defeat the very object of the laws. Weprofessto be a be liever in. temperance but we do not endorse and approve the, pres eui methods inaugurated by certain designing men, who hope to profit by a question which, should be'de- ,eidetl by each locality, entirely di ves ced of partizan politics. The preacher who said he wanted pro hibition, but that he preferred- it- through the . Deiaoeratic ' party showed the true inwardness back of his so-called moral altitude. AVe cannot get ourselves'to'the poiiit of believing it right and best to even attempt to force morality upon people by* legislative busmtmeutj for carried to its fruition, it means that it is best for the country that all men should .belong,, to .-some church, and perforce if .they don’t voluntarily become Christians we will co,npell them to join by legal enactment, for they by staying out of the churches are obstructing Christianity, and are a menace1 to present aud lnlure generations. Therefore be.it enacted: That all persons who have arrived ,at. an.age of discretion who shall fail and 're fuse to join some religious body within the next six months, the same shall be declared a public nuisance and forever banished from these realms, "• Have -we. so degenerated, that we .are mere pig mies and our every thought and action are to he controlled by some law made and provided. ‘‘L iber ty .” CRUSHED!

(By Josepiiiuo 3. Hunt) You kissed me! My forehead dropped on your breast, With a feeling- of shelter and infinite rest. While the holy emotion my tongue dared not speak Flushed up like a Same from my heart to my cheek! Your arms held me fast, oh! your arms were so bold! Heart beat against passionate hold. Your glances seemed drawing my soul through my eyes, As the sun draws the mist from the sea to the skies; Any your lips clung to mine till I prayed in my bliss; They might never unclasp from that rapturous kiss. You kissed me! My heart and my breath and my will In delicious joy for the moment stood still; Life had for me then no temptations, no charms, No vision of pleasure outside of your arms; Ot the joy and peace that are given the blest, I would fling my white robes unrepin- ingly down, And tear from my forehead its beau tiful crown, To nestle once more in that haven of rest, Witli your lips upon mine—and my head upon your breast. You kissed me I My soul, in a bliss so devine, Beeledani swooned like a drunken man f oolisd with wine; And I thought ’twere delicious to die there, if death Would come while my lips were yet moist with your breath. ’Twere delicious to die, if my heart might gro w cold While your arms wrapped me round in that passionate fold. And these are the questions I ask day and night; Must my lips taste but once such ex- . quisite delight?^ Would you care if your breast was my shelter as then; And if you were here would you kiss me again,? Did Wabble Some. A red-f&eed man was holding the attention of a little group with some wondeiM reel fai ls. “The most exciting chase I ever had,” he said, “hsppsned. a abort time ago in Eussiai One night, when sleighing, about ten miles from m y destination, I discovered, to my iutense horror, that I was being followed by a pack of wolves. I fired blindly into the dark, kil ling one of the brutes, and to my delight saw the others, stop and devour it. After doing this, how- evei\they came on again. I kept on repeating the dose with same results, and each respite gave me an opportunity to whip np m y horses. Finally there was only one wolf left, yet on it came, with its fierce eyes glaring in anticipa tion of a good, hot supper—” Here the man who had been sit ting in the corner burst forth into a fit of laughter. “Why, man. by your way of reckoning, that last wolf must have had the rest of the pack inside of him!” •'Ah!” said the red-faced' man without a tremor, ltnow I rernein- ber it did wabble a bit.”—Harper’s Weekly. He Had Heard of It Before. A mother of a seven-year-old lad, who was daily expecting a visit from the stork, found the little fel low’s conduct so trying that his father was called upon to interfere. “Bobby,” said papa, “mamma is quite ill, and we are afraid that if you are not a better boy and mind your mother it will bring on I KISSED YOU. (By the Man Huntfd) kissed you. I own it, but did not suppose ' ■ ■■• . • That you. throufih thq papers, the deed would disclose, Like free-loving cats, when on ridge poles they meet, With their squalls of “You kissed me, ” disturb the whole street. I kissed you. The impulse as suddenly came As that cold-looking cloud is trans- ' formed into flame, My act was the lightuing that glances and thrills, And yours the loud thunder, that blabs to the hills. I kissed you—as I kissed the poor Car- ian boy; In dreams, his Dina, so cold and so coy— And foolishly fancied, encircling your charms— A maid—not a match box—was clasped in my arms. I kissed you. The'zephyr on tip-toe • passed by, The moon with a kerchief cloud hid her soft eyes: Prom the bough that swayed o’er us, all silvered with dew, With half-smothered titter the katy did flew. I kissed you. AU'nature is counter feit sleep, Half promised our secret, so sacred, to keep; * No ubiquitous press correspondent peeped through The leaves. I was “interviewed” on ly by you, I kissed you, Then, scared at my boldnes, I deemed You had fainted, or else you would' surelj have screamtd; But no; you not only all censure forbore But, like Oliver Twist, are now ask ing‘‘for more.” I kissed you. AU others may do it who choose, But I to repeat the performance refuse. On your lips I will uevtr again permit a smack. Bythepressor by note you may send that one back. I kissed you. The poetess Sappho —of old, Like you, was so warm that her Pharon grew cold;, ; So she ended her love and her life in a pet— I presume there are equal facilities yet.

A t length one of the travelers said to him : “Have you anything in your country so superior and so much more wonderful that you could tell about?” ‘‘W aal, I just have,’, drawled the Yankee. “There’s hundreds of more wonderful things over in Ameriky that we don’t pay no heed to.’' ‘Do you mean, Niagra Falls and the Mammoth Cave and such things?” said one. “Pshaw.

Waal, I should say so; and not only stand ing, but all in leaf and some of them in blossom, and others, again, full of nuts and other fruit, all turned into stone, mind you.” “And I suppose there were birds in the trees?” sneered one. “Birds.

I see spme of you fellows doubt me. Wall, all I have to say is that what I am telling you is true, and I’ll bet any sum on it, and take you there to prove it. I’ll tell you what I saw the last time I was in the petrified forest. There was a hunter who must have been in the forest when the petrification took place, for he was petrified too, and there he stood as straight as you please, with a petrified gun on his shoulder taking aim at petrified bird. , W hy,- the whole thing was so natural - that you could see the shot and smoke com ing out of the muzzle of the—” “I’ve got you there!” interrupt ed the Englishman." “The law of gravitation would have brought down the smoke and the shot.” “Ho it would,” said the Yankee, “but the funny thing about it was that the law of gravitation was petrified, too, and so the blame thing could not work!”—Tifc Bits. A Word of Warning'. Do not fail to plant a large crop df corn, oats, peas, and potatoes, and make you*, living at home. This is the secret of success in farm life. This will eliminate the mort gage system, which has been a source of depressing the poor ever since the !Rebellion. It has done more to destroy confidence in the human fomily than anything on earth. The only way to eliminate this system is by making your liv ing at home and stay with it—raise more mule colts, more sheep,' and more. hogg. Oaxt more fruit: at home. In other words, raise every thing you can. and that means a good living at home and have something to spare.—Union Ad vocate.

OUft TICKET; For President, WM..H. TAFT . ,of Ohio. OUR VIEWS ON PROHIBITION. As we have said in the past, we are for prohibition, and our paper is, - of-'cours'e, <nr the same- side. . Our columns have been open to both sides, and the result is that several anti prohibition articles have appeared in our columns, which have caused many people to think, that we .were working against prohibition. There are. many people who. cannot realize the.fact that we. are not responsible for the views of our correspondents. In view of this fact, and to < prevent the people getting the wrong impression as'to which side'we are on, it is our purpose to close our columns to . both sides in the-future.. Butbefore doing this, we again wish to say em phatically that we are in favor of prohibition from start-to finish. It is true that we do not endorse the prohibition bill as drawn up by the last legislature, for there is prefer-, ence shown to certain sections of the State, and, we believe that the bill is a political measure, and that when it becomes a law, as it will, the dem ocrats will claim all the credit. - But there are some good points aboutthe' bill, .and we-believe that when passed ' If. will help to kSep down the liquor traffic. After studying over the matter, we have decided to let this matter rest with the voters, without any help from The Record. We do not propose to tell our readers what they shall, or shall not ab. Every man has a right to. cast his ballot as he sees fit , .But as for us, we shall always be found fighting on the side of what we believe to be; -right,, re- "gardless of what any man or party may say to the contrary. Because we believe in.prohibition,, we do hot think the man who. believes otherwise is a fool. Far from it. All men are not constituted'alike,- and therefore do not see alike on any question or measure that comes before the people. WehopetoseeNorthCarolina go prohibition by a good majority on the 26th day of May, and if all men will vote as they pray, such will be the case. In the future all articles, for or against prohibition, which ap pear in our paper, will be charged for at the regular advertising rates. Of course, we shall comment at var ious times on this question as we see fit. C. Frank Stroud, Editor.

We do npt mean to say that he should not have received.such a sentence, but from what we have heard and seen, it is not thought that Lang will live even one-fourth of his sentence out. We heard one man say that Lang should have received asentence of 50 years or for life. To this man we wish_to only say six words; ’‘Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord.

DANGER OF BUYING HARNESS OF UNKNOWN MAKE. Life often hangs on the balance when you are out driving with a har ness that hasno maker’s reputation at stake. Dealers or Mail-order houses usually have good intentions when they offer harness for sale, but the best intentions are often at the bottom of serious accidents.When you drive with our Shop-made Haniessr -you are always safe in guiding the most spirited horse. In harness of our make good intentions are displaced by thorough workmanship and experience in making harness. This insures safety and durability. The price being no higher, our “Shop- made”-Harness have all the advantage. Toseetherealharness and feel the well made straps is more convincing than misleading descriptions and a nice looking harness on paper. An inspection is always invited for harness, horse and .stable needs. We will do your repairing promptly , will' pay cash for hides. Yours to serve, WedntBuilding, HOLTON BROS. Mocksville, N. C. .

The editor of the Britt, Tri-bune is a philosopher Iy he said: Nothing is as it was in those “good old days.” Then a boy was a boy, he wore overalls and was always dressed for work, He had a hall day’s work before. he went to school and another after his re turn and could kick their duds on in time to eat breakfast and go to school. When the preacher came the boys and girls were expected to «it up straight as a cob and speak when they were spoken to. Now they are brought to the front and put through their paces. The girl must knock a few stars ou,t of the piano and the boy must speak his piece and look like a si jk mon key begging lor raisins. They used to get married for two dollars and begin housekeeping ior $50. One suit lasted a year for good and two more for every day. The com- \ munity worked ten' hours and then went to a shindig and old and young danced till morning. They had no “brainstorms” and heart aches nor appendicitis. . Brain- . storms Were cured with a water elm cljub, heartv failure was then oalled fits and appendicitis was called bellyache. They rolled the patient on a barrel or rubbed him . with a hot brick and no one knew that be had a vermiform doflicker that was liable to get lull of cherry stones. We used to eat soup and have “sass” of all kinds. Nowwe eat fruit salid and consomme and have biscuit made v.ith baking powder that looks as though some on ; had on we had bread with “rising” that smelled like a glue, factory wben it was rising, .but tastcfl better than any thing made from XXX rolled flour ground into nothing but dust. And if the girls chewed gum they had to climb a tamarack tree and dig it but with a screw driver. Progress don’t always mean betterment. Those pioneers were as happy as anybody on earth. They needed less than a quarter of the luxuries of today and six times the necessities- They neither froze in the blizzard nor roasted -in the heat. They were too tough to be affected ser iously by either the heat or thecold. Miss Head Lectures in MocksviUe. Miss Mabel Head, -the associate secretary of the Woman’s Home Mission Society of the M.. E. Church, South, spoke to a fair sized an dience at the Methodist church here last Wednesday evening, on the work of the society;. She spoke first of the needs of the South and the problems confronting us. The first heed recognized by the society was for-a larger and more system atic effort to reach our people in the remoter rural and mountain sections. Here the society has aided in the building of preacher’s homes, and has. built and main tains too splendid Bchools, one at London, Ky., the other the re cently established school in our own StateatBrevard.' Thesecondrecognized need was that we should pu$ forth some ef fort to reach the foreigners coming to our-shoes and settling in our • Wn South. More than a million immigrants are coming to us each year. More and more of these are settling in the South. Tie orien tals are crowding into the west, the Italian and Cuban into Florida and the gulf coast. A new immi grant station is being opened in Norfolk and the newly appointed agent of that station in convirsation recently stated that after a survey of the field and a study of the sit uation, he was confident of being able to place a million in North Carolina in the next few years. It is a question rapidly coming home t ) us here iu this State where we have had fewer foreigners than in any other state of the Union. Tie societyiis already at work in Flor ida among the Italians and in San I Francisco among the Chinese and Iowa, I Japanese. These orientals have Recent- already established 6 8 Budhisc temples in the U. S. The Home Mission Society is working just here among these temple devotees •trying to teach them Christianity. The society is also working in crowded districts iu the cities, in the cotton mill cities and wherever there is special need. A very important agency ’ in carrying forward all this work the trained Deaconess. She must have two year’s special training, even though she be a college grad uate, befo e ordination Io this work. And it is bcciuse of this use of trained workers that the work of this society has been so effective. The society now- has forty one deaconnesses although the first two were ordained only five years ago. They h ,ve applica tions from hundreds of places, literally hundreds, offering to pay their salary but the deaconnesses cannot be had. Sotne of the ladies of Mocksville met Miss Head at the residence of Mrs. M. J. Hanes Thursday after noon and organized an auxiliary society for Mocksville with sixteen members. Others are expected to join later. AU are cordially in vited. to be present at the next meeting and to join. The Arkansas Razorback.AA man who had watched the af fair and claimed t« know about hogs, razorbacks in particular, gave the following dissertation: “Ar kansas has a greater variety'of hogs and ie-s pork and lard than any staic in the Union. An average hog. in Arkansas weighs about fourteen pounds when dressed with its head on and about six pounds and a half with its head off. It can outrun a greyhound, jump a rail fence, climb like a par rot and live on grass, roots and rabbit tracks. It hasn't much tail nor bristle, but plenty of gall. It will lick a wolf in a fair fight. It is so called a razorback because it is shaped like a sunfish. In hunt ing razorbacks Jthey are always shot at sideway's, for there is not a ghost of a show to hit them other- se, any more than to shoot at a split shingle. It can drink.milk out of a quart jar on account of-its long thin head. This type of ra zorback is known as the stone hog, because its head is so heavy and its nose so long that it jbalances up be hind. The owner of this type of hogs usually ties a stone* to its tail to keep it from overbalancing aDd breaking its neck while running. If the stone is too heavy it will pull the skin over its evey and it will go blind. Object to Strong Medicines. ManypeopIe object to taking the strong medicines usually prescribed by physicians for rheumatism. There is no need of internal treatment in any case of -muscular or chronie rheumatism, and more than nine out of every ten cases of the disease are of one or the other of these varieties. Whenthere is no fever and little (if any) swelling, you mh? know tqat is only necessary to apply Cham- Derlaim’s Liniment freely to get quick relief. Try it.

VVe read the other day that each ot the ten Congress men has been held up for a $ 1 0 0 to help the cause of prohibition. We do not know that this is true, but we would not be at all surprised if it is. Everybody with an axe to grind carries it to the candidate’s grindstone. The better the salary the stronger the pull.

Brethren, if your church needs a new coat of paint,,or your Suuday school some new song- books, or your school house some new desks, do not make the poor pa triot, pay for them because you know he must have your votes Put your self in his place. _ H >w would you like to be placed under a threat ol defeat? We hope the time will come when some mau will rise with cour age euough to say to those who de mand his estate as the price for his? service to the country: “No, sir. No! a red cent. Jf you want my service here it. is, but you shall not have mj service and my money, too.” A man like that would be a treasure In the publicsen ice, and he would make it possible and agreeable for, a poor man to aspire to office, As it is now, the iuan with limited resources is saiUy handicapped iu the race be cause he cannot answer the clamor ous demands oi Ius fellow citizens with churches to build and schools to establish, and other worthy ob jects to foster and advance.

Kemp were in stantly killed last night by the ex plosion ol Ihe boifer ol freight en-. gine 6 JS. Four cars-were derailed and the engine was torn to pieces, the boiler being blown fifffy feet fto>u the track, so great was the force of the explosion. The accident occurred iusfc be- youd Hilgi rt, a small station about half way between Heuderson ~ and Fletcher ou the Spartauburg liue. Tlie train was a westbound freight iu charge ot Conductor W. CwBry-. sou andBngiueer Lauderback, and was just beyoud the station, run ning at a good -rate of speed, when, without any warning, the "boiler exploded with terrific force, kill ing the engineer and fireman-, in stantly, tearing the engine to splin ters and piling the first four cars up iu a heap. Locai officials are at a loss to account for the explo- siou but it is thought that it was due to a defect in the boiler. When the explosiou occurred the "bodies of the unfortunate men were hurl ed through the air and when pick ed up were horribly mangled. The report of the explosion was heard for miles aud the uninjured train men were speedily reinforced by persons living in the neighbor hood ol the wreck. Qnestions on Marriage, What is marriage?

Ninety-five per cent, of the sane oeople of North Carolina are for temperance in all things, and espec ially so in regard to intoxicating drinks. 95 per cent, of the people bf North Carolina are for thiernanu- facture and sale of good liquor in Morth Carolina under proper moral and legal regulations, when they lookjit the matter in a sane, moral," legal, reasonable way—they think we should grow, and make as near everything we need as possible. We have the very highest regard for all ministers of the gospel, and wish themGod-speed in all their good work. The course taken by selfish politicians and so-called prohibition ists, is very damaging to the State, viz: Morally, socially, physically and financially. There was a special ses sion of the North Carolina Legisla ture in 1861. Very many know the result. There was a special session of the North- Carolina Legislature in 1908, and the selfish politicians and so-called prohibitionists are, trying to force the ratification of their so- called prohibition bill by scaring the voters and trying to ostracise all who oppose their wild,-so-called pro hibition bill. "Voters should use their own best judgment and vote their own sentiments and hot be hindered by any wild speeches or marches or heart-rending tales. We want to make what good liquor We need at home in an open, legal/ cleanly ,.gentlemanly way, and there by save freight, etc. We do not want the country full of blockaders; slop-holes, dope sellers and users, and perjurers. The-first rebellion in the - United States was in the good old Quaker State of Pennsylvania, about 125 years ago. It was about liquor, aiid if this so-called prohibition is claim ed to be ratified in Mayi we fear- there will be too many Smithtowns in North Carolina: Let us be temperate even in pro hibition.

The great masses are not fooling much time away talking politics. They are chasing the almighty dollar. All articles thac appear in this issue or in any future issue of The Record on the prohibition ques tion, are advertisements and are paid for ae such, except such ar ticles as are written by the editor. Uncle Joe Cannon does not stand any more ehance of receiving the nomination for President on the Republican ticket than Pat. stood in the army. All indications point to Wm. H. Taft as being the man. President Rooseyelfc recently de clared that the railroads of the South were not complying with the law giving equal accomoda tions for both races, and' urging action by the Department of Jus tice, The Virginia Republicans, in State convention at Lynchburg last Wednesday, endorsed the Roose velt administration, and instruc ted the delegates at large to use all honorable means to secure the nomination of Wm. H. Taft. Ifafellow will devote a little time each day to the reading of Democratic papers, it will not take him long to come to the conclu sion that Craig and Eitcliin are two of the biggest rascals that ever went unhung. And all this from their dear friends. We hare received the initial number of the Carolina Union Farmer, published at Marshyille,. by Editor Green, ot Our Home. The paper presents a neat appear ance and is devoted to. the Earn ers Union. We wish the new pa per much success. Misery loves company.

There is an evil in this State— not a growing evil, for it is and h»s for some time been full grown —that oeeds the atteution of the law-inakers—the sale of cocaine. The general public has no idea of the injury it isdoing. Sittiug in the office of the chief of police this morning was a sixteen-year-old ne gro boy, brought there by his own mother who said be <was a cocaine fiend and had grown S3/ desperate that he had been stealing her clothes which he sold to get the drug. This bronght up the ques tiou of the sale of the dope. Chief Keelley said cases had frequently been before the-mayor and he had tried his haud at suppressing it, but when some druggist had been arraigned it developed th at, there was no law, State or city, that would reach him; in fact that the law says a druggist “may sell to one addicted to the use of cocaine,” presumbly on the ground that if he is unable to secure it he might have a fic. Chief Neelley said the city attorney did not believe this was the law and spent some time look ing it up, when, to his sorrow, he: fouiid that it was correct. If this is not what the bojscalla ‘‘beaut,” what is it? “May sell to one ad dieted to its use” , is great! How is the druggist to know he is ad dieted to it and il the purchaser is addicted to it why should he be allowed to go on and kill himself I We are told that law is common sense, but if this law is common sense we want none of it. Cocaine is far more dangerous and fatal than morphine or liquor; its effect is more reaching, while it takeB but a small quantity to do the work. Ten cents north will keep one drunk all day. It is snuffed up the nose.; This negro boy was a horrible sight; he was bloated, his face pre sented a frightful Bight. His mother did not know what course to pursue with him. Instead of being a help to her, he is a curse, stealing from her to get money to supply the drug. She had' about made up her mind to let him go to the roads and see if this would break him. In Virginia the sale of co iaine has receutly been made a felo'uy, while for yeare it has been a misdemeanor/ punishable by heavy fines, but this did not de ter those who sold it. For some years druggists in Virginia have not been allowed to deal in it and its sale was confined to the blind tiger element in Richmond and the cities. Only recently, hoWever, a man who dealt in furniture on the installment plan was convicted and sentenced to a heavy fiile and a term on the roads, and he was man of wealth and standing. He said on the trial that there was so much money in , its sale that he could not resist it. The State of Korth Carolina should get busy, but in the meantime the city can pass a law that will help some. Hundreds of people, white and colored are addicted to its use- and• •they becoming the worst - sots in creation.—Greensboro Record. EmotfonaL “Oh.

One fact is worth a dozen theo ries, and by the .same token one act is worth more than a hundred promises. . For eight- years the democratic party has pledged itself to provide a school term of at lea*>t four months but the schools of Catawba county do not run lour months. With blowing of trumpets and sounding of horns the Democratic party points with pride to what il has done for education, but the schools of Catdwba county do not run four months in the year. There are now lour assistants in the State Superintendent’s office, and-thousands of dollars are spent for printing circulars and pamph lets, but there is not money enough to run the schools of Catawba county for four months. The appropriatio'n to the State University, the Normal and Indus trial College, and the A. & M. Col lege has been, increased by more than $2 0 0 , 0 0 0 a year, but the schools of Cata wlia. county do noi receive as much money as they dia five years ago. Theschooliund of Catawba coun ty in 1903 was $20,484.40; in 1004 «21,541.38; in 1905 «20,986.57; iu 1908 the fund is only $20,135. In spite of increased taxable property the school fund ot Catawba county has steadily decreased. Is that pro viding for a lour months’ school term? When the Populists were in con trol in this county, tue .Board ol Commissioners made special appro priations to the schools. W ith a surplus 'in the county treasury of $10,000 the Democrats do not provi'ae tor four months’ school ibr all the' schools in the county. The State constitution says that the Board of County Commissioners shall levy a tax sufficient to run the schools four months or be sub ject to indictment, but in Catawba county there is not money enough raised to run the schools lour months. These are cold stubborn facts Let any one deny them it he can.— Hickory Times-Mercury.. 1 TemperanceinEngland. A century ago drutikeunees was a prevalent vice among all classes in England. -Sq little was thought oI it that W illiarn Pitt could appear in the house bl commons in a state of beastly intoxication while prime minister without provoking anv un favorable remark. Today our up per and middle classes are as sober as any people in fcheworld. Hoiv has this change beeoi.brougbt about? Certainly not by acts of Parliament of compulsory, restrictions of any kind upon the consumption of Ii quor. I suppose it is due to the progress, of education and refine meut, a better understanding of the poisonous effects of aicobol, and the formation of a more wholesome public opinion in consequence. As a matter of fact, thesame influences have been working with good and increasing effect in the lower strata of society for twenty years or more -FrbinTruth. LetterFroni Chairman Adairis. ' It is now assured that Secretary Taft wilL receive the vote tn the National Convention from North Carolina. Of course, I am sure this will be gratifying news to you, as his nominaiion at this time is essential to the welfare of the coun try as W t l l as the Bepublican party. The Republicans of North Caro Iina are more united than they have been for a number of years. The party is deteiinined to win in iu the coming election. I have re: cently made a circulation, and find that between six and . seven thous and votes, distributed in the close counties, would have given us tne Legislature in the last election We can carry Norih Carolina at the coming election if every Re publican will do his duty. The moBt important thing for the members of our party to look after at this time is the payment of poll tax. As you know, the voter niust pay his poll tax on or before th« first day of May . The time is short, and I urge upon you the great im portance of looking after this mac ter at once. I would suggest that you communicate with your pre- Ciuct committees throughout the county, and have some one selected to go around in each township and see that the Bepublican voter pays bis poll tax. We lost at least 25,000 votes at the last election by reason of the failure ot one. friends to pay their poll tax. Let us not have a repetition of this. I would be exceedingly glad il you would write me what you are doing along this line, and if I can assist you in any way, please let me know. Again assuring you that if we will all do our duty, victory will be ours in the coming electiou, I am,, with great, respect. Sincerely your friend, Spen o ee B. A dams , Chairman.

Two Things That Ought to Receive the Full Force ot the Law. Monroe Journal. There are two widely differing of fences against the law and society that ought to be hit with’ the full penalty of the law every time, but which the law, by a speak-easy course, is really helping to make more.pernicioua in this Country. One is. the habit of carrying con cealed weapons; Every ti'uie a court of j ustice lets off a piotol-toter with less than the full penalty it encourages soiiie other la w- breaker to stick a ^ weapon in his pocket, ready to Bhoot do vn ,somebody on the first excuse. The other offence is embezzle ment, When a man steals money that has been intrusted to him, it is too common in this section of the couutry to let him slip but of it if the amount ol the defalcation can be squeezed out of his relatives or friends. There ariS- doubtless few torns in tbis section of the South, anti, for aught we know, elsewhere, that- have not bad .oue or more cases like ibis..' If every embezzler.and defaulter were made to suffer for his misdeeds; JnStead of letting the' thing be husfied' up, there would soon be a Slacking up in, the pain ful frequency of such misdeeds How many,such! cases does every body know that’ have never been carried to a court of j ustice?

Wonder if the ejjlitor.of the Courier got his printer to make an affidavit and send it to Locke Craig? Withtwocampaignscomingonand cold weather not yet gone, the voter is up against a tough proposition. . Only a fewmore days left in which to pay your poll tax if you want to vote in the coming elections. 'Nuff sed We notice in some sections of .the .State that Ashley Horne is gaining ground. Horne is the best man the ,Democrats have got, and yet he will not get the nomination for Governor. ' When the time comes that we have to run around over the country anc talk about other people and theii publications to get the people/ to patronize us, w® .will go. out of the paper business. We call special attention to the letter of Chairman Adams which ap pears on our first page, and ask everj Republican in the county to read it. Prpspectsfor a Republican victory this fall are very bright. \C00l Springs Items.

Those.people who are going around over town telling about the large cir culation of the Courier—that it has double the circulation of TheRecord. should go and examine the Courier’s subscription books and then step ovei and look at The Record’s books. We have a circulation larger thj^n tin Courier and we can prove it. Now, we ask the friends of the Courier tc either put up or shut upv ■ Tne Courier said some mighty mean things about - Craig, but we under stand that the editor has notified Craig that if he, Craig, is nominated for Governor, that the editor will do all he can to help elect him. Great horn spoons! Would W. K. Clement vote for a man as mean as he said Craig was? Surely not. " The Mocksville correspondent of the Statesville Landmark, in a recent is- . sue of that paper, said that if the pro hibition election, should be held now, Davie county woplil' go anti-prohibi tion. We do not believe that Davie county will ever go anti-prohibition. The people aredoihg their own think ing in this campaign. We notice that the North1State, of Lexington, has suspended publican tion. We are sorry the North State had to give up the struggle, but if the Republicans of thd country do not learn to give their papers better support in the future than they have in the past, they need not be sur prised at such suspensions. There has been- several men sug gested for Governor on the Republi can ticket, either of whom would fill the office with honor and ability. But we would like to see, Hon. A. A. Whitener, of Catawba county, nomi nated. Mr. Whitener is one of the StaunchRepublicansofAhe 9th dis trict. is one of the best speakers'in the State, and, we believe, would poll as many votes as any man the Republican party could nominate He has a State wide reputation - as a man of broad views, whose political and personal character is above re proacbj and he would: fill the high Office WithjCredij; tp hiipself, his par ty and his" Stafe. .

Because he was too busy mak ing moonshine liquor^ an aged man from the heart of Yadkin county had never-had the time to spare to ride on.the train. The man’s name is known to several passengers who rode with him a few days ago from Advance, in Davie county, to Char lotte. He was 72 y ears old and had never before ridden on a train, Coniing into sight of Mporesville- the moonshiner arose from his seat and etuiiibled across the" aisle of the coach 'to where a Charlotte traveling man was sitting. In his droll accent he told where he was going and asked to be shown how to get there. “I ain't used ter travelin-',” he Said, “and I want yer ter show me how ter get ter King’S Mountain.” The Charlotte man, glad to find a little diversion from the monotony of the incessant sound of bumping over cross ties, asked the old man why he had never traveled. “ Well, I've been too busy all my life;. ‘mopnshinin! ’ ter spare ther time.” ” “How old are you?” asked the Chaflbtte man, becoming jnore in terested. . -j f iPm 72 and I been in the bizness ever senceT wasJ.7, and I hain't uever been arrested, nuther,” re plied the veteran distiller; “I reck on.

Inspector Kidd came to Okla7 horna from Nashyiller Tenn., his headquarters, and, has been collect ing data for the past two weeks to ieport to the Washington authori ties on the conditions relating to internal revenue service. ‘‘Whiskey is beiug sold-through-, out the eastern half of the state,” said inspector Kidd, shortly before leaving Ardmore last night; “ and nnder the authority of federal li quor licenses, The sale is almost unrestricted and conditions here show that unless nnder the prohi bition the laws of the new state are better enforced than now, within a short time, the State will be wide open” —Times Journal.. - Oklahoma came into the Union as a State in 1907—with a prohi- hibition clause in its constitution, yet in less than twelve months we find one section of the state almost wide open, selling intoxicants.' Tbe non enforcement of the law is one of the greatest needs of the country. We n ere impressed with a speech made in Congress recently by Mr. Barthold, of Mo., who said the great trouble was the nou-iuforce- rnent of the State laws, and conse quently a great many people were calling on Congress to do that which the State should do.

Life often hangs on the balance when you are out driving with-a har ness that hasno maker’s regulation atstake. Dealersor Mail-order houses usually have good intentions when they offer harness for sale, but the best intentions are often at the bottom of serious accidents. When you drive with our Shop-made Harness,- you are always safe in guiding the most spirited-horse. In harness of our make good intentions are displaced by thorough workmanship and experience in making harness. This insures safety and-durability, The price being no higher,'our “Shop- jnade” Harness have all the advantage. To see the real harness and feel the well made straps is more convincing than misleading descriptions and a nice looking harness on. paper.

MY OLD KENTUCKY HOME. Kentuck’y hills are full of rills, And all the rills are lined with stills, And all the stills are full of gills,' And all the gills are full of thrills, And all the thrills are full of kills. You see the feudist dot the hills, And camp along the little rills, Convenient to the busy stills, And thirsting for the brimming gills 'And when the juice his system fills, Each feudist whoops around and kills. Now, if they’d only stop the stills, \ They’d cure Kentuck’s many ills, Menwould be spared to climb the hills And operate the busy stills However this would mean more thrills And that of course means more thrills Resulting in the same old kills. So all the hills and rills and stills, And all the gills and thrills and kills, Are splendid for the coffin mills, And make more undertaker’s:bills. —Chicago Tribune. What Soisaman Says.

A sample of the grass was brought to Statesville Saturday by Mr. John Webb and turned over to Dr. R. A, Bass, veterinary surgeon, who ex amined and analyzed it. Dr. Bass does not think the grass brought him is poisonous, but is of the opinion that there is some poison ous herbs growing in the grass.

Hrw Should Every Man Vote May. 26th. The day of election is rapidly approaching, and mauy are as yet un lecided as to how they shall cast their ballot. The greater ■ in terest, happiness anti prosperity of our country, is said to be, and should be the object in view by both sides of the question; but how to reach tjiat end seems to be the point of difference. Some say our liberties will be curtailed, some say our liberties to do right shall not be crippled; some say prohibition will not prohibit, aud some say more stringent laws on the saloons and drunkards is the best thing we cau do; some say it is not; some say the prescription clause is very objectionable, and some say that is much better than the saloons; some say nearly all: the preachers and leading element of Christians in every detiouiiuation are in favor of i-rohibi'ion, and some say they have preachers and church members who oppose pro hibition. Aud mauysiuiilar points of differences aie brought out by the different factions. The subject must be one of great importance or so much would not be said. , With all these points of difference before us. the great question naturally aiises: How must I vote? The object of this article is to give some instruction to both sides; aud the advice I give to one, I give to the other. How can you shy I am one-sided in this? My advice follows: Let every voter, no matter to what party he belongs, or what his church relation may be,- let him take an unbiassed position, aud every thing into consideration for and agaiust the liquor traffic, and see which will do our country .the most good, see if there are selfish motives in view on the part of the prohibitionists aud see if these will balance the craving appetite \ of a few, aud the selfish greed- of the distiller and bar keeper. Sum up both sides aud "weigh all the points well; Iry to fiud ont-how much real good you can get out of whiskey; theu think Of the broken-hearted mothers, the orphan, destitute and uneducated children. The thous ands of drunkard’s graves every year, and that it will take about one out of every five of our boys to fill these graves; .think how rapidly our boys are falling iii line with the intemperate; think of the three fourths of our crimes and the al most unoontrolable character of the drunkeu negro; and many similar things as the outgrowth of the loons; uike both sides just as they are, and consider them honestly as in the sight- of God; then go to God in earnest sincere prayer, aud pray more fervently than ever before lor light and information SB to how you should vote on this all impor cant subject, * If. after you have been honest and sincere in your devotions, God tells you that the liquor traffic, as. it is, is for the best interests of our country, the greater happiness of mankind aud the highest interest of His glory; then I say vote for the manu lacture and sale of- intoxi: cant liquors. - hut before voting, take the other side, weigh it well, with the beff iuterests of <-ur country, and God’s greatest glory at heart; and if,God tells your honest conscience that the best interests of our country, the greatest happiness of mankind and the better advancement of; H s glory cau be reached more success fully by voting against the- manu factnre and sale of iutoxicant Ii quors, then I say vote for prohibi tion. We should remember that this is a subject of eterual interest, in which immortal souls are involved and that we must give an account for every deed done in the body and h i this, give an account lor the way we vote at the coming election Remember that Thou God seest thee R.

Labor to Enler Politics. Spencer, Apr. 18.—Organized la bor proposes to make itself felt in North Carolina politics this year, is shown by a call to all union men in the State to-meet at Raleigh April 27th. The call was authori zed at a mass meeting of union men held in Salisbury April 11th, at which the position of unionists was discussed from a political Btand point. Itwasdecidedtocallthe meeting for April 27th, when it is believed that a representative at tendance can be had at Raleigh. AU union men in North Carolina are invited and urged to be present for the purpose of devising wayB and; means whereby the laboring men might secure such consideration as they believe themselves justly entitled to and which they believe can only be obtained through a tate-wide organized movement and with proper effort. The farmers of the State are invited to attend and participate in the convention. So far as is known this is the first time in history when organized labor has attempted to enter poli tics. The leaders declare that the action is taken as a matter of self- defense and in defense Of various corporations and industries served largely by uhioq men and which, it is asserted, have suffered greatly at the hands of professional poli ticians. - The call, is approved by the fol lowing brotherhoods and unions represeLting, it is believed, ap proximately 10,000 voters in North Carolina: Brotherhood of Locomotive En gineers, Di vision 375 ;Order Rail way Conductors, Division 221; Inter national Association of Machinists, Brotherhood of Blacksmiths, Broth erhood of Boilermakers, Brother hood of Railway Car Men, Brother hood of Locomotive Firemen and Engineers, Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, Brotherhood ofBarbers, Brotherhood of Painters, Brother hood Sheet Metal Workers, Typo graphical Union, Order Railway Telegraphers. While it is not definitely known what will be done at the meeting at Raleigh, it is believed by some that the various unions will put out a State ticket in the coming cam paign. It is also hinted that a county ticket is more. than a pos sibility in many counties where union. Sentiment is strong. Two Sensible Paragraphs. We frequently see on our streets boys smoking cigarettes. This re- iniuds us that there is a law against selling minors cigarettes, and our merchants should be careful obout violating this law. The proper authorities should see that this open violation of the law is not iept op. The writer recently had occasion to be on the streets at 10:30 p. m., and to our surprise we saw a group of boys loafiing on the streets at that late hour.- While our town authorities should enforce the law requiring all boys to be off the. street at 8 o’clock, still the respon sibility, 'after all, rests on the parents. The trouble with these youngsters is that they heed some old time ‘‘daddies and mammies” to give them some impressive les sons in obedience. Thechain gang and penitentiary are well patro nized by men whose fathers allowed them to do as they pleased.—Lenoir Topic, " Fruit in Wilkes.

Made Expreti Company Pay For Jug. The Supreme Courjb last week de cided a thirst case—that of Thomp son vs the Express Company from Alamance. It appears, according to the News and Observer’s report, that Mr. A. T. Thompson ordered a jug of refreshments of the value of two simoleons from Moyle Brothers, of Salisbury, who are the proprie tors of a thirst parlor Moyle duly delivered the goods to the Southern Ebipress Company and the latter re ceived them for shipment. That, however, was the last of the jug, and—after Waiting long and wishing long—Mr. Thompson got busy. First he went to the agent of the express company and said: “I want my money back.” The money was not forthcoming and Mr. Thompson waited sixty days. Then Mr- Thompr son went into a courtrof a justice of the peace and proceeded to get busy sure enough. For the ref usal of the company to return, the two. dollars, the price of the jug, the . justice a- warded a judgement as of penalty for $50, under section 2634 of the re visal. Then, for failure to deviver within the time required by law, he gave judgment for penalty, under sec tion 3632, of $85. Next, in the matter of the liquor itself, the justice gave another judgement for the price thereof, p r $2. The item of the express company and the jug that evaporated ifa'its bands therefore stood in law at the comfortable figure of $137, and, in the Superior Court the judgments stood In the Supreme Court decision is Jheld that the- judgment for fifty dollars must go by the board because Mr. Thompson, in making his de mand for his money back, ought to have written it out and put on file with the agent, whereas he simply asked for it by word of mouth. In the case of the $85 and the $2, how ever,"the Supreme Court finds noth ing to" do about it save to let the judgments stand. Former Iredell Man on Trial in Danville Danville, Va., Dispatch, 17th.
