A N APPEAL TO VOTERS.
If you think the saloon an evil why don
you have the courage of your convictions and
say so through the ballot box? God asks no
man to vote with majorities, but for principal.
Let no Prohibitionst throw away his vote by
voting for "a good man. in party which has
not the moral courage to pronounce against
the saloon. If you plant poisonous weed in
your garden don't blame your boy for getting
poisoned. If you vote with political party
that favors license, don't blame your boy for
getting drunk. Are you a partner in the
saloon business even to the extent of one vote?
The call is urgent to every Prohibitionist to
do his whole duty. Vote the Prohibition
ticket. j. A. WElGAND,
County Chairman Prohibition Party.

THE TOWN ELECTIONS.

The municipal elections held IL
North Carolina last week generally
passed off quietly and with few ex-
ceptions there was not much OF a
contest. The big fights were made
in Asheville, Hickory, Charlotte
and Raleigh.
The fight is Asheville was be-
tween Democrats and Republicans
and was very warmly contested.
Rankin, Democrat, won for Mayor,
and majority of the board of
aldermen are Democrats. The
Republicans elected two aldermen
and the city treasurer.
In Hickory the fight was made
on the question of license or no
license, and not along party lines.
Mr.. T. M. Hufham, editor of the
Times was the dry candidate for
mayor, and was elected by forty
five majority. The dry aldermen
were elected by majority of fifty
to seventy. This is the largest
majority ever received for the an
ti-bar room men.
The contest in Charlotte was
probably the hottest in the State.
An independent ticket was in the
field and all kinds of charges were
made. Springs, independent, de-
feated Weddington, Democrat, for
mayor by 406 majority and SIX in
dependents were elected on the
board of aldermen.
| In Raleigh Russ, Democrat, de-
feated Stronach, Independent, by
G61 votes, and nine out of the
twelve aldermen are Democrats
This is probably the largest ma
|jority ever given in Raleigh. Sew
eral colored preachers were effec
tive workers for the Democratic
ticket.
In other towns the Democrat
: as rule were successful, i'll som
of them no opposition ticket beinj
run. Among the larger and NOR
important towns which electe
! Democratic mayors are Salisbury
. Statesville, Greensboro, Durham
Fayetteville, Goldsboro, Monro
and others.
Il The Republicans carried Nj
: Airy and three or four other towns
{ and very few were carried by th
independents.

The Advantage OF the Carolinas.

The Southern States Magazine
has an article in which Mr. Charles
w. Dabney, zJr., gives data to
tempt the agriculturists to settle
down in the Carolinas.
The deductions from The article
are that the South, owing to the
existence of all important life
zones in broad belts running down
the coast and up the west side of
the Alleghanies, is country ca
pable of producing the greatest va
riety Of agricultural and horticul-
tural products, all those, in fact,
belonging to the temperate zone,
reaching from apples to oranges,
from barley to rice. The South
ern farmer has from sixty to nine
ty days more in each year in which
to work, and during which the
sun is working for him, than his
Northern countrymen. While thi:
is true, the climate is of grea-
equilibrity, not subject to the eN
tremes of either heat or cold
Neither hot waves nor blizzard
occur SO frequently in the South
eastern States as they do in othe
sections of our country. Th
rainfall, moreover, is as abund
ant as in the most favored Ian,
on the globe, and is well distribu
ted throughout the growing sea
son.

The grand jury submits the following

Passed on 81 bills and found 50 true
bills and ignored II bills. Visited the
County Home for the Aged and Inf1rin,
and find everything in very good con-
dition except the inmates complain OF not
getting enough to eat. Visited the jail
and find it in good condition, except the
roof, and we recommend that it be re-
paired at once; no complaint from pris-
oners. We have examined the court

recommend that the town clock be LOOKED

The Averages OF Tobacco per Acre.
Wilmington Messenger.

The tobacco production is: too great.
Between over production and the rascally
trust there are low prices and hard times
for the planters. The prices OF the hne
North Carolina grades-the golden kinds,
are not much more than one-fourth what
they were quarter OF a century ago.
The trust is to great extent responsible
FOR the low prices of the kinds OF tobacco
if uses in manufacturing the deadly and
poisonous cigarettes. President J Alien
Holt. of Oak Ridge seminary, writes to
Hon. 7. f. Webster, the able editor OF the
Reidsville Weekly: NOne Methodist i'll
| Granville writes me that if that county
had all the Dukes have robbed them of,
| it could erect and e1ldow two such col
leges."
We have had our attention directed to
the tobacco production III the several
States growing the weed. 1t seems that
the Connecticut tobacco averages higher
than the other States per acre. FLORIDA
| is second. The next three highest States
are Northern. In the list we give below
it is seen that North Carolina ranks as
| low as tenth in the average price per acre
| This is astonishing to us, and II true
teaches lesson 1t is that tens OF thou
sands of acres in North Carolina grow
tobacco of a most common kind, and tha
they are not really adapted to such pro
duction How else could Northern anC
some Southern States lead North Caro-
lima, so far too, i'll the results? Here /
the table showing the value per acre:
