MAY 7'1908.No. 44 How the Trouble Canie About. V Mr. W. T. Adams, foreman'and uiiichiuist of the Statesville Knjttiug Co., and Mr. A. Dl Jurney1 a blacksmith of Statesville, were ar rested at Barber Junction Saturday night for carrying concealed weap ons and beating a train and default of $50 bond each were taken to Salisbury jail. Sunday the matter was explained and they ,were re Mr. Adams called at the Land mark office yesterday and told the following story. He says he re-, turned from Salisbury Saturday night on IiTo. 35 and found a good many people at the Statesville station and some excitement on ac count of the killing at Conuelly Springs Saturday evening. The negroes charged with the killing were expected to pass through here. Mr. Adainswent home and . fixed himself aud returned to the station to help aid in the capture. Mr. Jurney wa.4 also there for a similar purpose and Mr. Adams talked with Deputy Sheriff Ward about the matter, the officer accepting their aid. About 2 o’clock Sunday morcing a freight tram came along and was searched for the negroes. About the time the freight was ieady to start Adams and Jurney saw a man ou a car and swung on the train to look at him. Bv the time they discovered he was white the train was going so fast they were afraid to jump off. The first stop was Barber Junction and" the unwilling passengers started to climb off to make their way back to Statesville, but more trouble awaited them. „ Officers at Barber put Adams and Jurney under arrest on the charge of train beating and carry ing concealed weapons. Adam < says the Barber officials would listen to no explanation and re fused to recognize a detective badge They were kept under arrest until Sunday mor-uing, when they were tried on the double charge and put under bonds of $50 each. Mean time Mr. AdamS had managed tb get in communication with Supt. R. L. Poplin, of the Statesville Knitting Mill, and the latter ar rived at Barber during the trial. He was refused as bondsman cause he owns no'real estate. The Barber officers refused to wait for further communication from States ville and Adams and Jurney were taken to Salisbury and lodged in jail, Mr. Poplin returned to Statesville and found Deputy Sher iff Ward, who promptly ’phoned the facts, to the Kowau sheriff; Adams and Jurney were released aud returned home. They are in clined to think they were badly treated.—Statesville Landmark. The "Merry Widow” Hafc . A 'large, rouacU wheel-shaped affair, measuring sometimes thirty- six inches from tip to tip.

It is “in the way” in churches,, theatres, moving picture shows and wherever the deair women assemble. The fol lowing, taken Irom the Charlotte Chronicle, gives an idea of tJie warefare being made on the “Merry Widow Hat;” . . '“Last Suuday a preacher in one of the Horth Carolina churches re quested the women in his congre gation. "to take off .their Merry Widows. Iu other parts of the country also the big hats seem to be giving the preachers-trouble. One church--in New, Jersey pro-* poses to checlt the hats in the ves tibule, and at Wilmington, Dela ware,'" the Methodist Preachers’ Association is taking the matter seHously. A dispatch to The Bal timore Sun-says that at a weekly meetings! the preachers in that tQWDj, almost, the _ entire v session was occupied with a discussion on the latest feminine headgear. The matter was brought up-by. Rev. Dri Kellogg, pastor of Grace church, the wealthiest of the de* nominations of Delaware. Both Dr. Kelloggand Rev. Mr. Stepi- (^nson, pastor of Scott church, placed themselves on-record as be ing opposed to the new hats, be? cause the large rims prevent other worshippers from even seeing the preacher. They declare if women persisted,in- wearing the “Merry Widow” hate men would refuse to attend the services;, they would become tired of seeing nothing but . Itall ended in talk, how ever, as the pieachers did ,not have the eourage to bring the mat ter tq.a^vote, It is well.

M i&by Gir l , How Did Ihe Great Political Prohibition ist* Get Through if Whiskey is Such a Terrible Destruc- tionist? (Personal Liberty.) _It is not our desire to treatjight- Iy any claim that deals with Iiu manity and its betterment. All men agree that whiskey used to ex cess, like opium, like morphine, like chloral,- like cocaine, is bad business. So it is bad business; to eat too much; to sleep too much, to indulge Intemperately in anything is against the laws of nature and therefore is not to be defended. . But let us take a look at- some of the speakers out In this ‘ political prohibition campaign and see what they are saying. Judge Pritchard tells of the great evil and insists that the laboring man; the merch ant—in fact all of society is to, be swept away, to be destroyed, if the prohibition bill does not carry in May, and at the same time he "ad mits that ninety per cent of .the state is already dry. . Governor Glenn tells us with tears streaming down his face that the -state : will be forever destroyed if the other ten per cent doesn't go dry; iii 'the name of all the children born and unborn; in the name of,, mothers and wives and sisters he pleads to wipe out the legalized curse, the regulated bar-room, and invite a million blind tigers to destroyrand debauch. Governor. Jarvis tells us that it is either theschoolhouse or the bar-room,. although ninety per cent of the bar rooms have gone, Judge Shaw tells us that young men are in jeopardy, their lives and manhood threatened, and Governor Aycock insists that whis key is the one thing that Will blight the entire state, if the pro hibition bill does not carry In May, notwithstanding that nearly every county is already dry and will re main dry no matter if the state goes wet by a million votes. All this sort of sophistry which these intelligent men are putting up is the veriest kind of moon shine. They know it, and like .the Roman augurs of old, they laogli at each other when they meet. on the street—they know- that they are out whooping up a campaign that should never have disturbed the state—but being in for it, they try to make out that every male child born from this on is going down to destruction if their politi cal bill does not go through. Now in all candor we want to know some things: We ' want-to know how, .with whiskey licensed in every town in the state; and' no prohibition agitation on to amount to. anything,, did Governor Aycock happen to pull through. He says frankly he drank whiskey up to a year ago, and yet he doesn’t look like a man who bad gone -through what he pictures for the other young men. How did . Bob Glenn get along? He says he drank whis key up to three years ago, and he doesn’t look like a man who had suffered what he pictures for oth ers to suffer. , He has always been an able lawyer and a good citizen —and he lived along m times when bar rooms flourished. Governor Jarvis has been right along the pike and ls-now a very old- man and he hasn’t been stricken with this blight, he is telling about. Judge Shaw, who has been called the man as “Cruel as the grave;” doesn’t look'hke he suffered much from the great evil he tells about! Why is it that these men escap ed? Are they like the man ita the book of Job who alone was left to tell about the great calamity - that had befallen? Certainly not, .for the State of North Carolina has produced thousands and thousands of the cream and flower of this na tion; they have grown- up surroun ded by legalized whiskey; "they never were forced to seek a doctor for a quart prescription; they nev er were forced to order a case at a time—but the whtskey was rege lated, legalized, it bore its burd: n of-the taxes and these: thousands of good citizens withstood the temp tations and made North Carolina the great commonwealth that she is today and- made her immortal in: history,' Tell us, some of you chief fugle men of the prohibition cause, how" did you yourselves escape, and how did the countless others? Be cause the man who is worth saving saves himseif, and. the glutton eats too much and the drunkard, drinks too much. That is all there is about it. Would Governor Gleun and Judge Pritchard;, and ex-Goveroor Ay- coek, and ex- Judge Shaw and ex- Governor Jarvis go before the ris ing generation in North Carolina and: tell them they were weaklings and imbeciles and that unless they passed this law forthem they were all to die drunkards? That.ls what they are telling the young men; tney aje telling the laboring ma« that he is an imbecile .and can’t control himself and they become the self appointed guardians for-all the people and insist that they, of course; were strong and could re sist, but all the others are moral weaklings and they must rush in on this political band wagon ; and become their brother's keeper. Itstrikes us that there are men in North Carolina fully as able to attend to their own. business and their own affairs as these self ap pointed guardians are fo' attend to it for them. - It does not become a crowd ofioffice holders and, ex-of fice holders-to proclaim that " they have.withstood temptation, that they have gotten through, but that if a law is not passed in a state that is already ninety per cent, dry, all the young men and all the merchants and all the buil ders and all the cotton mill opera tives ..are. going to be rushed throng to drunkards’ grayes. Such a proposition is an 'insult to the manhood and the intelligence of the North Carolina citizenship,, and it should be rebuked at the polls an the 26th of May. Whenever you hear a profess ional prohibitionist or a political prohibitionist tolling you that he is weeping for you;.that he knows you are going to destruction unless he can pass his political- measure give him the horse laugh and ask him how it happened that he didn’t go to destruction when the whole stale was wet—ninety per cent wet ter than it is today. And insist that he answer you. And if he tells you that he was strong but you are a weakling—well, go vote against such insolence. , . BAILEY STICKS TO IT.

Bailey Insists :: duit He Uttered the Tiruth and Pro- V;: V". poses to Stay With It. , (PersonalLiberty) _ When J. W. Bailey, the ex> cbairmon of the anti saloon league, wrote his stiong argnmeut against prohibition and cited a hundred facts to prove that prohibition was a farce and would not work, it threw dismay in the prohibition stronghold and excited the profes sional prohibitionists who saw their jobs threatened. But the Biblical -Recorder, iu April 1907, printed the fatal front page article and those who knew Mr. Bailey was sincere have often quoted him. Dnven todesperatiou the professional prohibitonists have finally driven Bailey into line. He .says he will support this prohibi tion measure, but id saying it: he preludes his article by insisting that all he wrote was the truth; he still insists that prohibition- will not prohibit and still believes this snap judgment game of the pro fessional politicians is ill timed and ill advised. This is the small grain of, comfort he hands the prohibi tionists in the Biblical Recorder of April 8,1908—j ust a mouth ago, “A year-ago I printed a pamph let on the subject of the Political Treatment of the Drink Evil, in which I advocated Local Option, so far as centres of population are concerned, . as • the -only -practical method of politically treating the LiqnorTrafl c. This pamphlet was not -written with the purpose of pleading one cause or another; its purpose was to “State the Triith I may. have reasoned incorrectly f urn the facts of history; but I have seen.uotbing within the year to convince me that I did.

That these. laws lantic Quarterly; he wants it have proved rea-onably effect ml derstood that all he priuted is not to be disputed. But we have no reason to argue that such la ws will make good in “any other State. They are successful in North Carolina because Lthe population approves them. Many citizens' of the rural districts approve them only because they can obtain drink when they go to town. To cut off the town saloons or dispensaries would tend to make these citizens opponents of the present limited prohibitory laws instead of advo cates of them. The advocate of State prohibition will- be wise; to weigh this assertian. For we have proceeded far enough now to say that another fact established by our American experiments in tem perance legislation is—that liquor traffic regulations can be no strong er than the local opinion will bear “ This is measurably true of any law m a free country. The sover eign is not one, but many, The- sovereign is not Congress, is not the General Assembly; the Sover cign as the people—aud the . people are pot a nation, nor a State; they are the community—the munici pality,” - Coming ont and signing his name to a confession that all he said wis the ciuth, and the facts asserted in a whole page remain unchanged., yet he proposes to go. back of. his own judgment because the temper ance people once followed him and: he is now going to follow them— no MATTER WHERE THEY LEAD HIM; In other words, he is -wil ling to shut his eyes; renounce hi* own best .judgment--follow, be cause the ..politicians say follow, yet he knows and gays- that tbs I- temperance -forces in tlieito laws had gone far enough. The story written by Mr. Bailey? and yet sanctioned and _ detended by him, told'the truth, and, he prohibition it failed. • We cannot understand why the prohibitioni8tti didn’t let Mr. Bail ey alonh. His expIanation is worse than all ether thinge he has writ ten. He wants it understood first and last that he: has nothing, to take back which appeared in his famous article published in the Biblical Recorder and South At- ‘ un- was the WHOLE TRUTH;- he wants people to understand, that the facts remain unchanged, and then tells them that he is gaing. to Vote for prohibition because the. leaders (meaning of course the politicians) want him to vote that way: and inasmuch as they followed him, he must, ju good manners, follow them. < A nd this, then is the great prin ciple involved. This. then, is the great moral issue, the moral issue being that, because some ambit ions- politicians crack the whip every, prohibitionist must jump and squirm and jump in the band wagon, no matter how much the movement may be against their own good judgment; - That accounts for Governor Ay-, cock on the stump; that accounts for all the great reformers out at this time, weeping for a law: to prohibit whiskey in a state that is already,ninety percent dry. The scales are falling, from" the eyes of the deluded. The farmer is catching on. The real -prohi bitionist is waking, up. They all are seeing tuat this pet scheme of a handful of ambitious politicians to get the state under a prohibit-; ion law, meaning the loss/ finally; of all the good laws ever passed, is a politician Is trick—a hope5, to be .rewarded—and Mr. Bailey, insist- ing that-he told, the trutn, says; that he comes into camp because the leaders expect him- to'follow I them, inasmuch as they followed him between the.years of 1903 to 1907..- .

BYTOM MASON. YING came in with the first society; but it has taken an advanced civilization to develop it into its fullest proportions. Lying has been so much the thing, that when once the father of his coun try was caught telling the truth, he made an international reputa- ; tion by it. Lies are the medium of exchange whereby people per form all their social, political, and religions duties. . Maxl W: It is better to be caught in a lie aud get the necessary ex perience whereby ,this, embarrass ment may be avoided in the future, than not to lie at all. A wise man will never be caught in the same lie twice. * Lying is nniversal. Even Truth lie.s--at the Lotiom of. a well. “Al! nien are liars,” said David. Da vid always spoke to the point. He did not believe in the superfluous. He boiled things down, omitting that which was too'evident. Other wise, he would have remarked that all men and women were liars. Maxims : Avoid telling' a lie for the sake of telling a lie. Tell it for your own sake. One good lie deserves another. Lies are dependent upon climat ic conditions. They flourish best in a temperate zone, where the cli mate is conducive to longevity, aud the soil produces the greatest number ot human beings. As we go north and south, they are more scattered. There are supposed to be no lies at the North Pole, as it is uninhabited. Lies may be classified into two branches—the'right lie and the wrong lie. When very young, we tell the wrong lie and receive our whipping. When we get older, we tell the right lie and get pro moted. M axim : Successful lying is its own reward. We must not be too flippant a- bout lies. ,There is only one thing more serious than lying, and that is not lying. Not. lying at the right time has put'many a man in jail. Lies are often colored, A red ’lie is-an affair of the heart. It brings two people together who ought mot tolhave anything to ,do with each other, and then tears them apart, A white lie is some thing we can act better than say. it is a lie that we don’t tell, 'but gets there just the same. A blue lie is one with a pedigree. The blue lie has made a majority of the ancestors of the worlu. A red, white aud blue li? is sometimes congressional, sometimes presiden tial, sometimes both. Maxims: The higher morality exists in believing your o\vu lies It takes a lie to catch a lie. A reputation for' telling the truth is- the most valuable thing a. liar can have. Children never learn to lie well until they are -grown up;'; Look how afte*r they are punished • for it. The reason for this is that-they do not follow the example of ^ their parents until they are forced to. Youth is always perverse. Parents should see that their children learn the art of lying from the be ginning, as their success in social, political, ‘religious, business and professional careers' depends upon this proficiency: . ' . 7 " Letuspresent ourselvesat a so cial afiair. The hostess says,. “I am delighted to see you,” when she isn’t. The guests say, “ We have had the most delightful time of our lives,” wpen they haven’t. And when they part,- both host and guests say,. ‘‘Never have we been so bored!” when there have been other times when they all have snffered more. Maxim : Lying is three-fourths of life—avoiding the truth is the making others think we are better than we are, which, if-we succeed, is just the.same as if we were as good' as we try to make them be lieve. Ourcharacter is in reality only that thing abobt us which others believe' to be true. Ergo, judicious lying is what makes character. That is why the art of lying plays such a large part in human affairs. A State is never really what we think-it is; but it is the sum total of all the diplomatic lies that have been uttered in its behalf. A man is known by all.the lies told about him, and the truths un told. -To be successful therefore, in this vale of tears, let ns learn to lie as early as possible, so that in our old age we shall reap a just re ward. M axim : AlI theworld loves a liar.—Philadelphia Record.- Woman’s Work. How can a man say that a wo man has nothing to do? In one year she gets dinner 365 times, washes the dishes 1,095 times, gets the children ready for school once a day for 180 days-, puts the baby to sleep 1,460 times, makes about 300 calls; as she wishes for something she hasn’t every min ute, she wishes 60 times an hour or 525,600 things in a year.

Up to the close of last week W. H. Taft had to his credit more than a majority of all the instructed dele gates to the Republican National convention, having 267 as agaii 207 for all other candidates. At this ratio, Taft will be nominated on first ballot.—Randolph Bulletin. Suppose the Democrats were to nominate and elect W. J. Bryan, what would become of Joe Caldwell, of the Charlotte Observer? Don’t all answer at once—Mt. Airy Leader. It appears to be foolishness to us for any one to suppose impossibili ties, but should the impossible hap pen, Brer Caldwell is amply able to paddle his own canoe. Every man who howls prohibition is not a prohibitionist. Many quarts of rye and com are brought to our town in grips and suit cases by the ones who cheer the prohibition speeches the loudest. It is the still water that runs the deepest. There are many sincere prohibitionists who do not howl so long and loud, and it is they who will redeem the State in the coming election. After a suspension of some dura tion, operation has been resumed in the soft coal regions from Iowa to Western Pennsylvania. On Monday of last week two hundred thousand men shouldered their picks and went to work in the mines, the contract price being at the high water mark of 1907. As the demand for coal -is the barometer to the general busi ness of the country, this resumption of coal production indicates that business all over the country soon be in a healthy condition that idle freight cars will be put. in ti service.—Ex.

VHow many clothes ought a wo- man to have!” asks an inquisitive contemporary- Well for the sake of decency, we believe she ought to have a few more than some chorus girls wore whom we have seen on the stage. The TJ. S. census shows that' amoag customers of lauLdries, ninety-seven and- one half per cent, are Republicans. Cleanliness be ing next to godliness, there is no hope for Democracy until it com mences to use more soap. The only argument the Republi cans will need this campaign to knock the Democrats into a cockid hat will be to huDt up all the low me m things the Democratic candi dates have said about each other, and read chem on the stump. It dates back, .clear back—and the proof is that !the Republican party has always been in the ma ority. We find that among the disciples of Christ eleven of them were Republicans, Judas Iscariot b8ing a free silver Democrat. riix years ago Stanley county, North Carolina, gave six hundred Republican votes; four years ~ ago she gave one thousand Republican votes; two years ago she gave near ly fourteen hundred Republican votes and this year she sends forth word to the world that she is going to send two thousand of as brave Republicans to the polls as ever cast a ballot. How will that do for Republicanism in a little county in the Democratic stronghold ot the red shirt region? And the Dems. keep harping that there is no Republican growth in the state The man who refuses to read a document forthe reason that he understands it to be in oppositu n io his views is the biggest fool that lives. Nothing but a streak of lightning will render him fit to lead anybody. Learued men learned from Studying both sides. Fools are fools because they won’t hear but one. Maybe that don’t suit you, Buddy, but it’s as true as the gospel. If a great circus and menagerie wauts to give an exhibition in Den ver the license tax is very heavy, and yet they are going to allow the Democratic convention to met t without any tax. This shows that natural history gets it in the neck, and that a parade of donkeys is wanted. However, it is understood that this will be the last Democratic convention ever held, and respect for the corpse has something to do with the price. The tax assessor is now at large with his little indeliable pencil and his package of blanks seeking whom he may fill with interrogation points and a wild desire to cuss. When the assessor succeeds in getting a man coralled he makes him take off his hat, hold up his right and swear over the following questions: How old was your'father the. day your mother was born! How many peo pie do you owe? Did you ever in land to pay any of them! Hav you any dogs, cats, goats, monkey or other beasts of burden? What breed of flees does your dog prefer? Have you a typewriter?

If so sign your uame; if not, sign it anyway. The Merry Widow Hat. The hat, seen at a great distance," appeared to be STsirawberry short- ake, with the berries pyramided. It separated into its component sec tions and • the beholder tiptoed niarer, and was then seen to be a flit wheel without any tire. None indeed. It made people tired enough as it was. The wheel also icked spokes. Plenty of the mob spoke rudely about it anyway. It was 4 feet 61 inches from Dau to Beersheba an I 5 feet-9f inches from B iston to Portland. At top of the wheel was a well-kept garden, inclnding the following assorted flowers: Eighty- three American Beauty roses, six doxen cherries, eight peonies, one order of potatoes hashed brown, one purple cabbage, twelve carna tions, one plate of asparagus and one red banana. Intermixed was a flash of red ribbon, which kept the lunch from falling off the wheel. “If my wife,” said Harry Stein- feldj, “tried to buy a hat like that I’d ask to be released to New Or leans.” ,“Every time I see a lid like that,” said Johnny Evers, “ I know was wise in staying single.” “ What time does the balloon go up?” asked Pat Morgan.

Thednll times through which * we are passing suggest a few ie- flections on the oft repeated phrase "out of work.” It; is one which might be used to describe many different classes. Firstthereis the man who is out. of work but can find another job.- He is energetic, willing and handy at almost anything. If he finds a job that suits him, well; but if not he will take something else. H eisdeserving and really the world cannot afford to do with out him. Then there is the man who is out of work and cannot find it. Perhaps he is not naturally alert, or prepossessing in his appearance, and this makes against him. If so he needs your sympathy. Per haps oiicumstatices over which he has no control have thrown him out of employment. He cannot turn his hand to some other trade, or if he could there is an army ' of others like himself clamoring for work. The local government and public-spirited citizens gener ally ought to go as far as possible in providing employment for this class, otherwise it becomes a men ace to the welfare of the country. Next there is the individual who is out of work but close around where it is going on.’ He loves to see others work. If a new build ing is begun, or some other enter prise is set on foot, he is an inter ested bystander. • Perhaps he fa vors those in'charge with his ideas as to how best to proceed, or en courages them by recounting what would clearly have been a better plan. Be patient with him. He might some day get a job of his own and then we should see exact ly how it ought to be done. Again there is the fellow who is out ot work and means to stay out if he knows how. Ask him it he-wants a job and he 36 " ready with five reasons why ...he cannot do it- now. Or else he looks puz zled that you should really think he Wants to do anything so uncon genial as work. I used to know a man whose nearest approach to work was leading a cow to and from pasture. He once kindly loaned his cow to mow my yard, while he sat and held the halter and commented on the superiority - of this mode of cutting grass. The cow enjoyed it, and then, he said, he really believed it was better for the grass. One would willingly dwell longer on this charming pic ture of ease and contentment, but we must pass on. On the other hand there is the man who is never out of work and does not intend to be. He is rest less unless he is doing something. If he has no job he makes one, and he will make his mark in the world, too. He may become an inventor or a discoverer, or a cap tain of industry, and furnish em ployment to thousands of others.

The state of North Carolina 'is already ninety percent, dry under a law that gives sections and communities, towns and cities a right to express themselves on the question of be; ing dry or wet. That law has been working and working to the satis faction of all concerned. It was a law that said majorities should rule and that communities had the right to govern themselves. But with the - state practically dry the ambitions ones saw a chance to get before the people and harange them, wearing the mask of morality —making a great moral question, and it is the purpose of these men to carry the state dry- in May. They want to do. this for their own glory. It is mani festly evident that if the state is already ninety per cent, dry the moral question does not come in, and if it does, the ten per cent, not dry should have the right to con tinue wet if it wants to so continue. That is even handed justice, It is not for one community to sav to another community we will vote you dry whether you want to be dry or Lot. And the ones engi neering this prohibition election are noticaring anything about the ten per cent, that is wet—they are caring about their own political fortunes. The farm erinthe western part of the state is to be denied the right to make brandy from hie own orchard and sell it as he has al ways had a right to do; the wine grower in the east is denied the right to sell in his own state, bnt given the right to ship the pro duct to some other state. This in itself shows the utter inconsistency of the claim of morality, for a mor al man would not throw out of bis own back yard an objectionable carcass into the back yard of his neighbor. The ones on the stump are telling the delnded people that they are out trying to save the cot ton mill .operatives; the laborer; the farmer; and they are shedding gallons of crocodile tears for' lhe' weak and weary—bnfc always with a weather eye on their own politi cal fortunes. : It is up to the farmer; the labor ing mon; the cotton mill operative and all other men who believe in ' personal liberty, who are opposed ' to politicians regulating their af- j fairs without being asked in; to go to the polls on the 26th day o~- May. and administer a rebuke that ! will not be mistaken to these in -1 ter-meddleis.

SA LOONS KEEP THE BOYS OUT AND THUS PROTECT THE HOMES. ARE YOU A LABORING MAN? And If So, WiU You Not Reient The At tempt to Diiieredit You?. (The Liberty League) The burden of the song, of most of the reformers in the campaign now on concerning the regulation of the whiskey business is, that the laboring man must be protected. W hom going to protect him? Do not the laws we now have offer pro tection to all our people, and isn’t it a fact that the Constitutionbf the United States ahd Old Glory fur nish ample and full protection to every citizen of North Carolina? It certainly is. But here come some great moralists and assert from the platform and in the newspapers, that the laboring man must be protected from the terrible on slaughts of whiskey. They say We —and who are we?, and what right have we to but in?—must protect him. We m ust. pass a law that says to him that he is an imbecile and a Weakling. We must say to him that if whiskey is allowed to be sold in any town in North Caro Iina the laboring man will be m in ed, and as he isn’t strong enough to look after himself, we vill do it for him. » Every laboring man; every man who earns his living by the sweat of his brow, should see to it that his toil-stained hands are employed in depositing a ballot against this high-handed and brazen interfer ance with his rights and his liberties. It is mort than that—it is the as sumption and the assertaion that the laboring man is weak and tot tering; that some self appointed guardian must home to his rescue and vote out of his reach the evil of whiskey. * , ,W e do not know what the labor ing man is going to do, but the chances are that when the 26th of May comes along he will go to the polls, like the quiet, law-abiding citizen he generally is, and he will vote down this intimation that he cannot take care of himseli. He will go to the polls and he will cast his ballot against the law which aspiring and ambitions politicians have presented for him. He will say to these gentlemen who are so solicitous for his welfare at this juncture, that they have a right to rnn lor office; they have a right to vote however they may want to vote, but no blustering politician or demagogue.can walkover bis good name in order to ride into pffice and power. H ew illsayto these men who are trying to make it appear that they are engaged in a holy work that they can work him; they can make him toil for bread—but that they cannotshack’e him and deliver him soul and body forTheirbelf aggrauclizemeufc. Thafc is what the self respecting laboring man is going to say. He is going toYiurl back into their teeth the false accusation that he is an im becile and a weakling,, He is goi ng to assert his rights and his man- , hood, and by his b -llot he will show to them that his liberty .is as dear to him as it was to his forbears who first signed the Declaration of Independence and who fonght on many fields of battle lor rights which they possessed. When the election is over the la boring man ean proudly point to the fact that he helped defeat the iniquitous law which the politicians wanted passed. He understands that the rich can buy their whiskey by the case and that doctors can prescribe it for them, but if he wants a little whiskey for his wife or children who may be iff, he wants the right-Io take from his scant wage a quarter and go, as a law abiding citizen, to a place regu* lated by law, ami buy it, the same as he would bny other medicine. This is what he wants and that is the way he will vote. - ALL A DM ir THAT WHISKEY IS AN EVIL, AND BEING AN EVID THE BRAVE MAN WILL VOTE TO REG U L ATE IT, TO LET IT LOOSE IN DARK AL LEYS AND HOLES-1N-THE- WALL MEANS TO SCATTER SEEDS OF MORAL DEATH.

Locke Craig stands for the good of the railroads and other corporations that swindle the people. Which one do you want for Governor?”—Mocks- ville Courier. & N fp p lVHfT ^ I have got him down Mr. Craig—don’t you see? The Call of the Wild. Baltimore Sun. In the spring, while a young man’s fancy is lightly turning to thoughts of love, as the poet saith, the fancy of the rest of us is turn ing toward the hills, the woods and the waters. The continued desire to shed his shoes and go “ barefooted,” the irresistible in clination to shed his clothes and “go swimmin’,” bubbles up in the blood of the boy and makes him rebel against the slavery of schools and shoes and stockings. And in some of us who have to look back a good long stretch of years to boyhood, the same feeling still bubbles up and the business or profession that holds us to onr desks and offices seems like the chain and ball of the prisoner. We feel it in onr bones long be fore the clock strikes fishiug time. We get out our baskets and rods and longingly handle the hooks, from the little gudgeons to the big ODes wdth which we hope to fool the lrisky bass. And the first thing we know we are sitting on the river bank, about 47 miles from anywhere, with a can of “bait on one side and a jug of bait on the other, watching intently a cork and line, and wondering what the fish are doing down below. Wheth er we cath any fish or not, serene calm and contentment brood over the scene. Some people take to the water and some take to the woods; it de pends on how you are inclined, some men take to swimming and boxing and rowing, while others seek the a wee'; calm of raising to matoes and pansies. You want to be down on the river, or back on the farm, or somewhere out of sight of pavements and trolly cars and coal-smoke and hand-organs— . yon don’t care whether it is where the salt sea waves come tearing up the beach, or away up in the big woods where the trees meet above, you and stand all around you, shut ting out the fighting, pushing, Btriving, everlasting old uncivil world of men. Even the pink tea pales in the eyes of woman and she begins to plan picnics and rides and excur sions in the forests; she begins to write letters to her .country cousins and accumulate tons of booklets de scribing the wonderful, marvelous, entrancing and nnparalled attrac tions of all the mountain and sea side resorts whose appeals appear in the advertising columns of her favorite newspaper. ‘•Back td Nature!” is the cry. Some of us are tamer than others, but spring gets in the blood of us all, and we feel that “call of the ■wild” that has drawn man back to nature, for all the. ,thousands of years since Adam and Eve left the rden of Eden, Doesn’t it make * you feel just like shucking your shoes and stockings'and wading knee deep in spring! SEARS & SAWBUCK. Sears & Sawbuck' keep a store, Such as never was before. City folks they wouldn’t sell, Wouldn’t let them have a umell, Fetched their money, but by Jing, Couldn’t buy a blessed thing, Couldn’t meet ’em face to face, And then sell ’em with good grace. Country trade was what they sought Folks who pay for what they bought ’Fore they saw it hide or tail, They sent out catalogues by mail Out to every blessed one Gettin’ mail at Possum Run. We set up at night and read When we’d orter bin in bed. Books was about as big as sin, Had a lot of pictures in, And a lot of merchandise, Ev’ry kind and ev’ry size, Givin’ prices that they swore Knocked out every country store, Lookedstraightandseemedso true I bit at it—-Jim did too. Jim, my neighbor cross the way. Best man ever worked in hay. Just let him top off a stack, Sheds ram like a turkey’s back. Pleasure just to see him work Never knew of Jim to shirk. Swings the scythe like it was play, Love to watch him work in hay. Well, we like a pair of fools, Sent off, got some haying tools, Jim got harness and a plow, I, a range—I see it now Drat the thing, it was so light, Used it for a torch one night, Towed the darn thing in the yard, Use it now for rendering lard. ’Fore Jim used the plow an hour Found the old thing wouldn’t scour, Tried the harness, broke a tug, Went toOleson’s stole his jug. In the cooler all that night, Jim reflected on his plight, In the mornin’ old Al Stout, Hardware merchant, bailed him out. Since he leftthe Possum jail Jim says “We won’t buy by mail,” Home merchants are cheap, anyhow, Might have sayed Jim some on plow. Jim says “We can’t sell no truck- To sich folks as Shears, Sawbuck, They take all onr cash away, But won’t buy our corn or hay.” That seems pretty strange to me, So I told Jim I’d see. Ask them what they’d pay for oats. Couldn’t they use some likely shoats, Or a few cords of wood, How about four tons of hay, I could ship them right away? ~ Could Ifurnish Mr. Shers With his family roasting ears Also would my friend Sawbuck Buy some of my garden truck? Answer came one summer day, Said they couldn’t use our hav, ' : Couldn’t use our oats or shoats, Didn’t like our billy groats, And no wood, they use coal. ' When they needed truck to eat, - Bought it down on Water street. Sorry, but they must refuse Anything but cash to use. I sat down and wrote ’em then, “Hate to trouble you again, c But I want to thank you Sirs": For your bunch of cockle-burs. 7. Ifyou love your fellow man; Do him good, Sirs, while you can.” While our merchants - sweetly sleep, Shears & Sawbuck shear your sheep* Don’t go to the trouble to' order your jewelry, Our goods are good goods at low prices, - -' ■ - - C.

A story seut out from Spartau- Ihu* »• <■’•> some daJ S ago, made the impressiou that “at a repre- sentalive meetiug!’ of cotton manu facturers ol North and South Caro- Iiua. held m that city, it had been decided that the mills of these states should shut down, and that tlie understanding to this' effect was general. This is a misappre hension o< the facts.. In reference to this matter the Mill News of Charlotte says; “ Iu regard to that resolution or agreement to close down, we are pleased to know that some ol the ‘most representative’ manufacturers of this state and South Carolina have explained that they were uot parties to any such agreement aud do not expect to shut down their mills as above re ported. It mentions the Charles ton News aud Courier as having published the origiual statement but as having explained in its issue of Tuesday “that the agreement seemed 10 efleet only a few mills 111 the vicimtv ol Spartanburg, and weiit on to publish items from Anderson, Greenville, Darlington, Eoek IiiJl and other places in South Carolina where it was stated no stoppage was an icipated. It also quoted Mr. Lewis W. Parker, who represents more spindles and looms than any other man in that state, assayiug that he did not know auytkiug about the meeting in Spartanburg till he saw ic In the papers. Certainly no such understanding as that indicated obtains in North Chioliua and we do not suppose that one mil! m this state will shut down as a result of the Spartanburg meeting. Aobody denies the fact that Ihe cot (on mill industry is in a depressed condition but it is not to' be improved by representing it as worse tLau it is. - l e t t h e Th in k in g -Ma n d e c id e Ii-it -Business to Allow a Few Politiciar s to Meet and Say W hat a Great . State Shall Do? - . (Personal Liberty) In the prohibition election which comes oft the 26th day of May, the farmer and citizen of North Can - Iiha is asked to walk to the polls and deposit a ballot saying that whiskey and beer shall not longei bb sold iu saloons or dispensaries in the State; that distilleries - must cease..operations; that farmers who heretofore have been allowed to sell their brandy crop from their apple and peach orchards will be put on the loads in stripes if they continue this time honored practsce of them selves and their fathers before them, and that all whiskey sold shall be sold on the prescription of a physician and that the drug stoie selling it shall reap the benefit. In other words a handful of poli ticians met in Raleigh a.ncLproposed to saddle the prohibition law on the State without submitting it to the people. The wise heads pres ent cautioned the more, ambitious ones', and told them that if they did this the Democratic , party would be put out of busihess, so it was decided to submit it. At first it was proposed to have TWO bal lot boxes in order to intimidate and coeree the'voter, but it being suggested to the ambitious ones that such high-handed procedure would be unconstitutional the two ballot box idea was abandoned, and whex you vote in May YOU WILL VOTE IN BDT ONE BOX. However, the idea is that the politicians of-North Carolina, those anxious and ambitious to further their own selfish ends,-propose .to put the entire State under prohibi tion law, regardless of the fact that at this time ninety per -cent, of it is under local option prohibition, and if the State should go wet the districts, now dry would remain dry until thevoteiS expressed an opin ion and again voted in the regu lated saloons. The cities of the State which now have bar-rooms^ iegulated, claim that if they, want local option; if they want to abolish the saloon the present law is good enough and that State interference with their liberties and their rights is offensive, and therefore they will voteagainst this measure which is purely a politician’s scheme to gain cheap notoriety. When this statement is made it is susceptible of proof, because the leading prohibition worker -iu this State, Mr. J. W. Bailey, will tell you as he has publicly proclaimed that prohibition as a State measure is not wanted and not desired- that prohibition will not prohibit] and that local option in common Did you ever think of it? Sup- ities whjch want local option is the Pise every business man in the best and 0Hiy way to control the town took as much iuterest in. the ev}( 0f intemperance. Mr. Bailey upbuilding of the town., as the in an article,in the Biblical Be- newspaper uiau.

A large crowd attended the big prohibition speakiDg at Cool Srrings Academy Tuesday night, May 12 The speaker was Lawyer Charles Nicholas, of Statesville. Farmers are busy plowing corn and weeding cotton in this com munity. Merry Girl . is Notwithstanding the financial de pression, and the panicky cries of the old time free soup eaters, we notice the price of cotton manages to take a rise every little while, and the Cleveland badges of 1893 are conspicuous for their absence. • We heard a gentleman say last week that the photographs of Kitch- in, which were appearing in certain papers, were doing Kitchin more harm than good, and that he was sick and tired of finding nothing the paper but praises for the said Kitchin. And ye gods and little fishes, he was a democrat, too. We are sorry to see and realize the fact that politics is entering into the churches. When a Republican preach er happens to light in a Democratic church, he seldom stays more than year. The church should be for Christ first, last and all the time, in stead of for politics and politicians: “Lord God of hosts, be with us yet Lest we forget, lest we forget.” Our old friend and standby, the Iucious blackberry, is growing rap idly, and prospects for a big crop , are good. When they get ripe, then we will feel independent and will not take it so much to heart when our delinquent subscribers linger and will not come forward with the dough. But in the meantime, and while waiting for the berries to ri pen, we will gladly accept a little cash when the opportunity is given us. A word to the wise is sufficient. A correspondent who signs him self “Killthefoolsoff,” and whose ar ticle appears in this issue, classes us as being’a politician. He is badly mistaken. He thinks we have broke over bn the prohibition question, al so. He is again mistaken. As we , said in the beginning of this cam paign, we are for prohibition and _have always.voted for it and shall continue to do so when given an op portunity, but honesty compels us to say that we look on the present pro hibition election as being a political scheme gotten up by a few of the Democratic politicians to further their ends. But prohibition is what this country needs, and we could have had it long ago, had the prople turned out at the presidential elec tions and voted the prohibition tick et/ Even the majority of the minis, ters of the gospel flee from this great and glorious prohibition move ment and vote that some of their beloved flock may get a seat at the pie-table.’- “0, consistency, thou art Jndedd ^ , Cana Route I Items.

It is not. 1st. While the legislature was in session at Raleigh and the Anti- Saloon people were also in session, one of the preachers said, “that if prohibition would hurt the Demo cratic party, he was against it. 2nd. The bill you are asked to vote for allows the eastern grape grower to manufacture his grapes into wine and sell it in not less than _ gallon quantities. Does not wine produce drunkenness? It does, so we are informed—the worst kind of drunks are produced from wine. The Western apple and peach grower must let his fruit rot and go to waste, while his eastern brothers are allowed to make their grapes into wine and convert them into money. Why this discrimination?—politics, pure and simple. I firmly believe in temper ance, local self-government and the right of the people to manage their own affairs, but our Democratic friends are asking Republicans to aid them in destroying the last ves- tige^of local self-government, and a great many of our people have walk ed into the trap set for them and are going to get their fingers burnt helping to pull Democratic chestnuts out of the fire. Our Democratic friends did not ask our help in pass ing the Wattsand Ward bills, neither did thev submit them to a vote of the people. Now if these bills were moral and right, why did they not pass this so-called prohibition bill while they were in Raleigh and save our people from all this expense of an election which will cost the tax payers at least thirty or forty thous and dollars? The Republicans of the South have suffered enough at the hands of the Democracy, and should by. this time have their eyes suffi ciently open not to walk into their traps, set and designed to curtail the rights of the people. “Beware of the Greeks when they come bearin gifts,” for they are generally loaded The Republicans of this State can walk into this political trap if they wish, but they will live to regret it, JuSt think of the Democraticmachine denying the people of Daviecounty the right to elect the board of edu cation and superintendent of schools, and ask them if that’s letting the people manage their own local affairs? Think well, and then go to the polls ahd vote to preserve one of the rich est heritages bequeathed you by your revolutionary ancestors, the right to control your local affaira and remember what the Democratic for the legislature in Davie said few years ago: “Do you think-i4 am fool enough to be in favor of prohi bition.” Look at the condition in Davie today. Republican speakers are brought here to make prohibition speeches, and not one of the Demo cratic local political - orators from Mocksville have taken the stump for this “great moral question.”. Think, Republicans think, and Democrats who favor local self-gov- ernmentdolikewise.

We thought'wewonld freeze*but .ar riving at Salisbury we got warmed up as it is a hot town you know. Next morning we boarded the train for Statesville. W eperuseil that place from center to circumference and a more liberal and kind-heart ed people we have found nowhere, and after taking In the state farm and some other, minor places, we find ourselves at. the beautiful vil lage of Harmany. In our travels we met a great many people—men representing nearly all the differ ent walks of life, and I was not a little surprisedto meet so many men declaring against the Demo cratic party—men who say they have never scratched a -name or split a ticket, and I see no good reason why the Republicans should not carry the State if they will but put out good men and' have no family fusRes—^and I also find the anti-prohibitiouist sentiment is growing rapidly. Where I have been I find that prohibition i&main- Jy withjtlie women, the pi'eaeher and the politician, and I see from the reading of your paper that you are tooth apd toe nail for it, and I saw your statement where you would not allow the subject dis cussed in your paper any more, but I think you have broke over a lit tle as I see it. I would like to say a word, as there is something in me that has to come out, and it may as well be to you as any one, and it is this: I am opposed to prohibition. I fI was for prohi bition I would join the party that is pledged to do away with liquor. I think we a!l know the patty that is in power in this State, .and if we have to depend on them to do a- way with liquor, we will always be able to get a dram just 'when we want it for as one democrat told us it is only a party of broken prom ises, and now if you and G’.eou, Aycoct 1 Shaw, Pritchard and oth er politicians and the preachers will promise me that you will vote for the nominees of the prohibition party next November—a party that will do their best to get rid of the stuff, then I am ready to abandon the remainder of my trip and start at once for Davie county and give my time, talent and means for the present measure, otherwise I shall say amen to all such letters as Mr. McNeal’s, and shall advise the people to beware of any measure that eminates from the Democratic party. - The above i 3 my private opinion publicly expressed, r K illth e fo o lso ff. The Church Sixty Years. Ago and Tnday. To the Editor of The Observer: When I was a boy the church was looked upon as the house of God, the place where His honor dwells, the place , where worship was offered and thanksgivings were poured out to the' great God of heaven and earth. Young people were sometimes married in the church by a minister, which was considered very appropriate; the offspring were baptized in the church, and it was not uncommon to have funeral services there, but the church was not used for secu lar purposes alter being dedicated to the worship of God. Think for a moment with what astonishment the good people of sixty years ago wonldliave Lpbeld and heard the political harangues, the rounds of applause callfed forth .with each sally of wit/that makes the building-trenible—and this has more ttmu once-taken place on Jhe-lJg0,Yationsf Sabbath day. In one instance the church is desecrated, in the other the Lord’s Day is profaned. Let all such speeches be made within the time allotted for work and en joyment, not on the Sabbath. Some hall can be found in every town, and if not, a suitable grove is al ways nearby. Iu 1857, on the 20th of May, the . venerable Dr Hawks, of New York, was the ora tor of the day, in the First Pres^ byterian church yard; and the peo ple never once thought of throw ing open the church for this great and good man, even when cele brating the most momentous event that ever occurred on the Ameri can continent.■i .-'•sa The Rev. John Lafferty, of Con cord, wrote a most earnest letter to Mecklenburg Presbytery while in, session at Huntersville, asking that body to give a deliverance a- gainst political speech-making in the churches, and on Sundays— even on the subject of temperance or prohibition, for fear of destroy ing the sanctity of GodfS 'house and working harm to God’s peo ple. But Presbytery laid his val uable paper on the table. Time works wonderful changes. J. B. Alexander . The above article struck us for cibly, for in our early youth the churches were regarded as the houses of God, not to be defiled by the demagogic politician, but look at the changes, and we cannot think it for the best—the doors are thrown open and the designing politiciau enters the holy of holies under the guise of discussing a great moral question, and profanes the house of God, as if the very foundations of all'civilized govern ments were founded upon morality —temperance among' them. 'When Christ entered Jerusalem “ He went into the temple of God, and cast out all of them that sold and bought in the temple, andover- threw the tables of the money changers and the seats of them that sold doYea, and said- unfo them. It is written,’ My house shall be called the bouse.of prayer, but ye have made it a den' of thieves:” The Democratic:’ poli ticians have entered the temple of Gcd, Governor-preacber Bob Glenn leading the way, and the sacred ness of the church biis been pro faned, and the masses are losing faith in the teacbiugs o f the latter day saints.

Therefore thenecessityforgoodjudgmentin buying* the Genuine Kind. A cheap, badly stuffed collar of inferior leather will not only harm a horse’s skin, but break in important parts before it has been in use, maybe a couple months.

We are always particular about the fit— that’s why we have in stock so many sizes. Bring around your horses, large or small, and let us take care of their collar and harness needs.

He is also said to have been a gold and silver smith; and he .also drove good bargains in old clothes. Paul wanted to be famous and get a poem written about him, so he went to a fellow named Long fellow, who sold post-cards, painted signs, and was generally quite a lit erary gent. Paul asked how much it would cost to have himself writ ten about, and Mr. Longfellow told him frankly that the price would probably be more than he wished to pay, for since folks had found that poems would do very well for ladies to curl their hair on when they went to bed the price had gone up. Paul contracted for a medium sized poem and was measured for it by Mr. Longfellow's clerk. Paul then went to a friend of hisn who slept on Tremont street, except on Sundays, when he went to the old North Church and finished his nap, for he was the sexton. Paul said to the aforementioned friend* “Now, I am going to take the ferry over to the Charleston shore; if it is a dark night hang two lanterns in the belfry, for one would be hard to see; put if it isn’t very dark, hang only one.” Me then called up Mr. Longfellow, add told him that he was going to row over to the Char leston shore with “muzzled ’oar,” and Mr. Longfellow immediately put it in the poem. Paul then bor rowed three cents and took the ferry. Paul paced nervously up and down- on the river bank, worrying for fear the poem wouldn’t fit, or perhaps not be done by June.. At last he saw a light gleam in the distant church tower and then another be side it; so he knew it was a dark night and immediately took the trol ley for Wellesley. It was half past nine when he thundered down the street of the town; and every one was asleep except two- seniors, who had gotten special permission of the faculty to sit up until they finished Laura Jean Libbey’s latest work, “Lionel Montross’ Blonde Hair, or Wetted and Parted.” Paul pinched a horse which he found tied to a post and rode hastily over to Har vard, and entering the yard shouted “The English are coming by land or sea, and they are wearing plaited shirts with their evening clothes!” Immediately the place was astir, and Morris Max sold all the plaited shirts he had in stock. Paul then rode on, urging his. horse to a furious pace;-for he want ed to get to Concord before the sa loons closed. As he rode into Con cord his worse, worn out by the aw ful pace, stumbled and fell; fearing that death was at hand the horse I joked up into Paul’s face, saying: “Dear Paul, I want to live tonight! “You shall live!” answered Paul. * When the horse awoke, Paul was inside the hotel drunk. It is a matter of history what successful meeting there was. The English were received with open arms as it were, and were taught by the Americans how to dance, the Boston, while the cavalry were in structed in the graces of the barn . dance. The colonists strove to do all they could to repay the ; foreign-, ers for their Attentions, and many parties resulted; in fact Longfellow says that the “farmers gave them ball for ball.

A Virginiafarmerhasbeenmaking a remarkable discovery. For the past week, he says, his cows returned from the pasture “dry.” He suspect ed a neighbor milking them in the pasture and hid himself behind some bushes on the bank of the river Aboutthree o’clock when the sun was hottest, the cows wandered into the stream to drink, standing with their udders just touching the water: The farmer says he was astounded to discover that large fish were hanging to the udders of almost every cow, and when he drove the animals out they had been milked dry. The farmer is now perfecting plans to attach fish hooks to the udders of the cows and go into the fish business as a side line. There is now every indication that the fish story supply will this year prove just as satisfactory as the fruit and berry crop—Industrial News.

Do not fail to remember that whiskey is the cause of the evil, and that unregulated whiskey caus es more evil than regulated whiskey. Go to any prohibition to wn in North Carolina and take the figures and you will see that more crime is committed; more murders have be«n- done; more rapes are com mitted, more general devilment is done by people intoxicated in DRY TOWNS than in wet towns. The reason is obvious. The man who must get a drink and who buys wild cat whiskey buys it from peo-. pie who are irresponsible. They have no reputatien for good goods to sustain; you cannot go back and' make complaint; you take the poison they hand you and go your way and get into trouble. Itmakes men crrzy and wild, and good whiskey doeB not do this unless used to excess. Three drinks of blind tiger whiskey will make a man pick his owiTpocket. It would cause him to do any desperate deed because insfe id of being intoxicated he is drugged. Therefore the pro hibition orator should indict , blind tiger whiskey and not saloons for the crime be sees here and there. Go to the inebriate asylums, any institution for the treatment of ine briates in North Carolina, and there are several of them, and you will find always that DRY TOWNS FURNISH TWO TO ONE PA TIENTS as compared wiih wet towus. This is history—there is no dodging it. - Then these prohibitien orators out for political glory tell you that the cause, to be fought in.May is a moral one. We deny it. We as sert and challenge contradiction that there is not the' first resem blance to morality in the question Whj 1 Bec u e already ninety per cent, of North Carolina is dry and to vote the whole State wet only puts in jeopardy the section already dry: " It means that if the people repudiate this attempt of the politicians to force the State dry that the next, legislature will be wet and a law will be passed voting out all the territory already dry. Tiierefore it becomes an im ihoral question—it means that in their zeal to obtain notoriety they propose to make North Carolina a State without even the local optiorr clause, because the next legislature will certainly see to it that the State prohibitory law is overthrown if it is passed in May. If the measure is defeated the people who favor personal liberty will be satisfied to allow tbe^law to remain as it is, but so sure.as gun is iron, if the zealous politi cians force prohibition on the State the next legislature will set at naught all the temperance legisla tion the Old North State has achieved in twenty. years. This is why men like Mr. J. W . Bailey boldly condemn the measure, and why they say State prohibition will not do because it has been tried in twenty-three States and overthrown arid .why Kansas bas ^ ver fifty cities which license saloonsalthough the State law is for prbhibitibn. So wheii a prohibitionist fbi r'.v- eane only or for office only: comes to you and tells you about youi bov and about your « ife givt him the horse laugh, and tell him that th e: State is already ninety per cent, dry, that Bob Glenn says so, and that you are going to let well enough alone and not vote on the people a law that will result in wiping out all legislation. Tell them that local uptiou is good enough t'oryou, that you areln fa vor of personal liberty and the rights of communities..' That is what to tell them, bflftyise no sen timent enters into this unholy con spiracy of the politicians to feather tneir onu uests. ~ ■ The Very Lateit. Detroit Free Press.

Myers Dead. Mr. Luther'B. Myers, son of Lev. T. C. Myers, of Yadkiuville, and division ageut for the K. J. Eeynolds Tobacco Company, Was drowned near Macon, Ga., Friday while iu swimming iu a lake with several companions. The remains were taken to Yadkiuville for bur ial. Mr. Myers held the most im portant territory covered by his company, and was 31 years old. He was a brother of Messrs. B. -W., W. T., and John H. Myers, -of Winston, and of Mrs. M. W . Mackie, wife of the. postmaster at Yadkiuville.—Dispatch. A modern dude with narrow 6tiiped clothes, saddled shoes, a loud necktie, hair parted over his nnse, ‘smoking a cigarette, address ed his best girl thus: “If you was me and I was you what would you dot” She, hesitatingly said with a smile, “I would take off that hideous tie, part my bair on the side, put that cigarette in the stove and then pray for brains.” Sting* From The Yellow Jacket Has any body ever heard of Co!. Bryan declaring that he would not plunge this country into the vortex of 16. to I if he were elected Presi dent? Speak up democrats. Ir. the prohibition state of the South they put in their bills that the doctor can still prescribe whis key and the druggists can. sell it. That is done to keep up the demo cratic majorities. Au esteemed subscriber in Okla homa writes us that he has caught a democratic paper in a lie. Tbe dem paper out there must be better than those we see from this part'Ol the world. We rarely -ever catch one in the truth. _V . ; • A man in Missouti, and of cours e a democrat, ftas sued the proprietor of a saloon formental anguish; al leging that the saloon keeper closed his place of business* five minutes before the usual time. If the jury happens to be composed of demo crats there will be heavy da mag s awarded. The man who'has the idea fu his head that “ money will do every thing” is only invited to-see the abject misery that the ultra fash-" ionable rich of New York suffer. Tbeir homes made desolate; ,the di vorce courts -furnishing scandal after scaldal— why," man, money brings more hell than brimstone We expect to have cast some bronze pictures of Andy Carnegie giving out life-saving medals pretty soon,- Our idea is to keep Andy before the people. His library scheme has about played out, and he is complaining that his name is not seen often enough to suit him. The chances are that Andy will have a hard time when he gets into heaven as he will want to have his name blown on the angel’s harps and we don’t think SaintFeter will stand for it. Old John D. Rockefeller says; “I regard it as a good thing to keep liquor away from the negroes and the lower-class of whites.” John also believes m watering the oil he sells to both blacks and whites till i . smokes like a tar kiln and smells like a fish store. But when the devil gets his dues and old John lifts up his eyes in the dazzling flames of hell he will learn alter it 1.1 everlastingly too laie, that the million dollars he gave to the pro hibition cause wou’t extenuate-for the water in the oil. - Damages Against Hickory’s Mayor For • . - Fabe Arrest. Newton Enterprise, - After a hard fought contest, .the jury in the case of Spepcer againsi John P.

And we want you to go tp the polls next November and vote the prohibition ticket. We don't want to hear of a single one falling from grace before next November. Voteasyou pray. As we go to press this morning, Tuesday, the votes on the great pro hibition and anti-prohibition ques tion are gently fluttering into the various ballot boxes throughout the old North State. We believe that prohibition will win by a good ma jority, but if thaelection had been held a month earlier, the majority ; would have been much larger. Da vie, county will go very close, but we don’t know wh&h way. The report ’Shat three drug storeswere to soon open in the county, has hurt the pro hibition faction. We thihk the boys Ehouldhavewaited until after the „ election before organizing such thing as a drug store, for our people do not take kindly to such things, since reading about the enormous business being done by the druggists in Charlotte. But time will tejl -and that soon. of being against prohibition, and stopped their paper. But we feel that we have been sinned against more than we have sinned, and we have no apologies to offer. We be lieve those who stopped their paper will repent and come back into the fold, but if they do not. it will be their loss. In conclusion, we wish to thank those who have stood by us so faithfully since we took charge-of The Record, and we promise , t o give you a paper that no one need be ashamed of—a paper that cannot be run by any set of politicians or pie hunters who are out for nothing, but the spoils, and whose motto is; “Let the people be d—d, but give uspie, We wish to call the attention of the democratic prohibitionists and preachers to the two big whiskey ad vertisements which adorn the col umns of the Lexington Dispatch, a paper whose editor has&been advo- vacafihg prohibition in the strongest terms; the paper tbgt-the preachers take and praise so highly for the no ble fight it has made for prohibition Spch inconsistency is enough to turn the stomach of a South Carolina baz- zard.

Everette Eoontz is crossing the creek quite often. “Guess they have bound up those broken ties.” Miss Leathie Williams, who at tended school at the Academy, has returned to her home near Third Creek. The friends of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Starette', who expected to surprise them on their birthday last Wed nesday were disappointed on ac count of the rrin. We trust that they may have many returns of that day. Miss Vetra Koontz spent Satur day tight with her friend, Miss Ruth Smoot. Mr. Aulbrey Smoot left last week for the State of Washington.

A dispatch from Statesville, N. C under date of May 14 th, says tha . W.. P. Hall, an honest, and hard working farmer, who lives hear Elkin, was in that city, that day, looking for his runaway daughter. He made a thorough canvass of the town and its suburbs, but failed to find any trace of the yonng lady, and when at a late hour he started for his home it was with a sad heart. It seems, according to the stoiy Mr. Hall told, that during the af ternoon of April 28, he had occas ion to whip the young girl as she had not obeyed him. Following the punishment she left her home and has not been seen or heard ol since, although a persistant search has been made be the father for his child. The girl’s name is Sarah Louisa Hall, and she is fifteen years of age. When she lefthome she was rather poorly dressed. She was barefooted and wore a striped skirt of black and white. 4 » * 4 » 4 » ♦ I f We have offended any one dur- ibg the campaign just closed, we are Indeed sorry, and we assure them Miafr it was not intentional.

The Charlotte directory, that haB just compiled and The Charlotte Chronicle, which wrote up the directory f rom the proofsheats, seem to have had a bad effect on the truth and veracity of certain mathe maticians of other North Carolina cities. Ih s pa Ided population stories are coming with regularity. Greensboro,- which we admit has a growth of late, is claiming 42,000. Durham, supposed to be good for 22,000, is positive she ought to get credit for not less than 30,000 souls* And every Winston Salem' man you meet is eager to at the smallest insinuation that his town, generally placed somewhere in the low twenties, can now show 35,000 within the corporate limits of the doubled city and more than that if all the Winston-Salem neighbor hood is made to stand up and Le counted. We have heard no population brags from Wilmington, which led the state in the last census with 21,252, but Wilmington is a con servative old seaport settlement which keeps still and lets other cities do the talking. For all this banter, the Iact is.indisputible that North Carolina cities are .growing as they never grew before., , The 1910 census will tell a tale that will open the eyes of people un familiar with the growth of North Garolina in the past half decade.; And Raleigh will ,double the census figure of eight years ago. TheTar Heel capital ought to be good for 30,000 in 1910.' It will be if the present rate of. growth is main tained for a couple of years more . for-a Speedy Deliverance. A Kentucky congressman tells an interesting tale of the execution of a noted desporado in that state of some years ago. Just before the sheriff adjusted the noose be asked the usual question, whether the man had anything to say. “No, I think not” began the convicted one, when he was inter rupted by a cheerful voice shout ing: . “Say, Bill, if you ain’t got any thing special to say, would you mind giving me fifteen minutes of your time just to~4et these good peoyle know that I’m a candidate for their suffrages, and”— “Hold on there,” shouted the sheriff; “ vho’s that?” “John Blank,” volunteered some one naming a rising young politi cian, who has since represented his state lor a number of years in the house of representatives in Wash ington. “ Who did he say it was?” whis pered the condemned to the sheriff. They say it's Jonn Blank.” “I thought I recognized John’s voice,” the desperado calmly re marked. “ Wel|, be can have my time—ali of it. But go ahead and hang me first and lei him talk afterward.”—Iit-Bits. Locate ’Em Folk*?

Stmertean F £ady SHOE Fork Church Commencement. Itwasourpleasureto attend the closing exercises of Fork Church' Academy last Thursday. A large crowd were present, and the exer cises were of a high order. The crowd present were estimated at be tween two and three thousand. We always enjoy being present at such occasions, not only to take in the ex ercises, but also the dinner, and we were not disappointed. Great slices of ham and'steak, large chunks' of good cake and great slabs of straw berry and apple pie disappeared rap idly from before our starving eyes. We feel sorry for the good people with whom we ate, for there were but few fragments left after we had finished. We did not remain for the evening exercises, but we learn that they were good. Prof. MerrelI and all who participated in the exercises deserve great credit for the manner in which the program was rendered. On our way home we observed great patches of blackberries, which made our heart glad. May they ripen rapidly and not one fall to the and one leaving Charlotte at 5 p. m. for Winston, close connection would be made at Barber Junction in the mornings for all points east and west. One could make a trip to Statesville, Morganton or Asheville, returning the _same day, or coiild spend the day in Salisbury, Concord or High Point, returning the same day. All this could be accomplished with adding an additional train. We now have, two morning trains out of Cliarlotte for Winston, and two evening trains out of Wihstan for Charlotte, when there is no earthly use for but one. If we cannot get a morning train to Charlotte and an evening train to Winston, the South ern would save money by only giving us two trains a day. With a new schedule travel would rapidly pick up. The traveling public do not travel over roads that do not make cyhnections, only when forced to do so. A person wishing to go to Coo- lftemee from Mocksville, a distance of five miles, if he goes by rail, must needs spend part o f. two days in making the journey. Persons trav eling from this town or intermedi ate .stations, can go to Winston and return the same day, but those trav eling south out of Winston have to remain away -over night or walk back. Thetowns along this road deserve better railroad facilities, and they should demand them. We are glad to note that some steps have already been laken along this lineby our citizens, and we trust. that the other towns along the line w ill. fall in and help us get better facilities of your servant, the editor.

A quiet and retiring citizen oc cupied a seat near the door of a A seedy-lookirifc man, very crowded ear when a masterful stout the worse for liquor, rose to woman entered. Having no newspaper behind which to hide he was fixed and sub jugated by her glittering eye. He rose and offered his place to her. Sealipg herself—without thanking him—she exclaimed in tones that reached to the farthest end of the!

It happened on 'a crbwdsd car. much give his seat to a iady, when a robust man-slipped into the Vacant seat, leaving the lady still standing, “Sa a-y, vou—you fellow you,” said ihe boozy but chivalrous*‘in-; dividual, as he stayed to ^nd fro hanging to a strap, “ I—IfAa drunk, qar: 4 my lap.” “Madam,” gasped the man, as his face became scarlet, “I beg your pardon, I - I ” “ What do you mean?” shrieked the woman. “You know very well, I was speaking to my niece there behind yon.” “The Christian Mule And Others."

Pithy Poihts. Some men cannot tell the truth until they get mad. Some men run into debt but don’t even try to crawl out. If women only knew how mmh worse we could be they would love us more. The fellow who picks up the hot end of the poker makes the loudest noise. A lot of people who are clamor ing for their rights ought really to liave justice. It isn’t so much what a young girl does that fascinates a man, it’s what she won’t do. Always speak well of yourself. There are others who will attend to the olher side of it. The man who puts in all his time waiting for something>to -turn up never gets out of a job. 5 The cynic says there are two kinds of people injtJie world—bad ones andjthose who have not IJeen found out.
