A new Prohibition club of % members
was organized at the residence of Mr.. l.

The Prohibition Executive Committee
met Monday and heard reports from all
parts of the county which indicated de-

his full duty from now until the election
closes certain victory is assured. Let
every one be faithful.
Judge Chrisman, Rev. A. F. Watkins
and A. Lewenthal, j., Esq, addressed an
audience of about $40 or 600 persons at
Adams Camp Ground. After the speech
es o vote was taken and there can now
remain no doubt that that box will 60 for
Prohibition. The sentiment there is very
healthy and the people are awaking to
the weight of the responsibility resting
upon them.
Felder's School House in Beat Three
was crowded last Saturday evening with
the citizens of that community to hear the
addresses of Judge Chrisman, DR.. r. X.
Applewhite and A. Lewenthal, Jr., on the
Prohibition issue. If any antics were
present they failed to rise when called
upon. The good citizens of that Beat are
doing good work for the temperance
cause and McClendOu's school house will
go dry.
The antics held a meeting at Wright's
mill, 4 miles east of Bogue ChittO, Fri
day, and the usual personal harangues
were made by the Hon. V. b., Prosecuted
Jeems and their new ally, the learned and
intellectual Mr.. claw" Brister. They
expected to have it all their own way, but
the redoubtable Ben Jones put in an ap'
pearance, and though not given a fair di'
vision of time, made it lively for them
while he did speak. Not an uncommon
thing at an anti meeting, they had
drunken fellow on hand to illustrate tine
"personal liberty" idea, and this time he
added to the division by firing of his pis
toll at random while the speaking was in
progress.
