RESTRICTION BETTER THAN PRO
HIBITION.

In the current issue OF the At
lantic Monthly, President Eliot
gives an interesting resume Of the
legislation against the liquor traf-
tic in which he comes to the con
cIusion that restriction Of the sale
OF liquors Is at the present time
more effective that prohibitory
legislation. The community OF
any considerable size in which
there are not a goodly number
who viii have liquors in their
houses. Is not to be found. Pro
hibitorv legislation does not have
the support Of the majority,
hence its failure.
President Eliot gives the follow
ing restrictions which the expert
ence of many years has proved to
be desirable and which can be en-
forced in the average city or
town:
There should be no selling to
minors, intoxicated persons, or ha-
bitual drunkards.
There should be no selling on
Sundays, election days, or legal
holidays in general, such Christ
mas Day, Memorial Day and the
Fourth of July. Where, how
ever. such a restriction is openly
disregarded. as in St. Louis, it Is
injurious to have it III the law.
SALOONS should not be allowed
to become places of entertain
ment. and to this end they should
not be allowed to provide musical
instruments, billiard or pool tables,
bowling alleys, cards, or dice. 4,
SALOONS should not be licensed
in theatres or concert halls, and
no boxing, wrestling, cock fight
inc or other exhibition should be
allowed in saloons.
Every saloon should be wide
open to public inspection from the
highway, no screens or partitions
being permitted.
''There should be a limit to the
hours of selling, and the shorter
the hours the better In the diff
ferent states saloons close at vari-
ous hours. Thus, in Maine cities
i'm which saloons are openly mann
tanned the hour for closing is 10
D. m. and in Massachusetts it Is II
p. m, but the county dispensaries
of South Carolina close at 6 p. IN.
1T has been found necessary to
prevent by police regulation the
display of obscene pictures IN
saloons and the employment OF
women as bartenders, Mattresses,
singers or actresses"

That is why MALT NU-
TRINE has taken the lead of
all other preparations contain
ing the curative properties of
Malt.
A few reasons why Malt Nu-
trine is superior to other ex-
tracts is:
l. That it contains almost 15
per cent of Pure Malt Extract,
with less than 2 per cent of AL
cohol.
2. 1t can be given to children
with perfect safety.
8. 1t is not an excitant slim
ulant. The benefits to be de-
rived by Nursing Mothers dur
ing the period of lactation can
not be overestimated.
All persons requiring a Tonic
and Fat Producer should not
fail to give Malt Murine a
trial.
People of every walk of life,
from the laborer to those in
the highest ranks of nobility,
will find beneficial results from
taking Malt Murine.
The feeling of exhaustion,
brought on by the prevailing
south wind, can be overcome
by this valuable preparation.
The demand for Malt Murine
has increased so greatly that
we have been enabled to pur-
chase large quantities, thereby
reducing the price to within the
reach of all.
Single Bottles, 50 cents.
Per Dozen, $3.50.

JUDGE CLARK.

We can but admire Clark. The mans
variety of talent and splendid equip
ment for diverse sorts of work is
simply a marvel in slow going North
Carolina. We are not used to such
men. They do not belong to our past
and they come in advance of a future
which would properly appreciate them.
Save Justice Read, who I take to be
the finest master of curt English the
State has produced, no man has sur
passed Justice Clark in saying what he
has to say in a manner to be remem-
bered. Judge Pearson was great in
point, and perhaps dived deeper than
any of his yoke of fellows, but even he
did not swim with easier stroke than
does Oark.-W. 8. Pearson, in Char.

l would not underrate the tend ency
OF competition to reduce values, and I
am aware that competition in the fer
tIliZer business has had it's effect along
this line. But the greatest factor in
reducing the price, has been our State
Business Agency. Year by year has
our Agency fought down prices; year
by year has it published it's price list,
until there is not a farmer in the State,
wen though he has never been an ALI
anceman, but what has felt the effects
and enjoyed the benefits of our great
brotherhood. But, brethren, TO carry
on the fight, your Agency needs your
support. If you withhold your pat
ronage and buy other brands, you
simply destroy the power of the Agency
to protect you in the future. Let ne
then appeal to every true Allianceman
to use our goods. If the merchant
with whom you deal does not keep it,
then ask him to order it for you; and
if he will not, go where it is kept; and
not only this, but canvass your neigh
borhood get your friends to buy it also.
If you will write to the State Agent, he
will furnish you the name of your
nearest merchant who has contracted
for it. F~raternelly,
