We heard Sam Small in his speech
before the State Prohibition Conven-
ton in Greensboro. AS an orator
and a popular speaker our expecta-
tions were met but as a political
preacher we failed to admire him. He
vigorously fought both the Democratic
and Republican parties, ridiculed and
abused them, which, in our view, is
not the best way to win the battle for
Prohibition. We have no time to
fight parties,-the whiskey devil is all
that We can manage. If fighting par
ties is in it, count US out. We have
no force to waste.

Augustine Railroad. about twenty miles
north OF here. William Orthgus. the son of
a farmer living at Sampson about five miles
from Bayard, had occasion 10 visit the latter
place. On nearing the settlement he was at
tracted by a strong stencil eminating from
the vicinity ofa house supposed 10 be vacat-
ed. Through curiosity he hiiched his horse
and proceeded 10 investigate. on reaching
the house a CHASTITY spectacle met his eyes.
Stretched upon q couch was the body of a
woman, and in the same room were the
bodies Of five children. They had evidently
been dead for several days. The boy, on
realizing the horror of the scene, fled precip-
itately. and, mounting his horse. rode back
to his home and told the startling story to
his parents. As ST Augustine is strictly
qu~arantined against Bayarda and that vicinity
the news did not reach here until several DAYS
AFTER the occurrence. The country people
are horror stricken, and even fit were known
