resolution.

If Rev. Page gets the State

The Dispensary question in the
State seems to be gaining. At tn
present out look every town or cross
Foads that have a church, will hav.

traffic and TO raise revenue.
1t is now thought that the contest
led election trial in the. Kerley and
TSouther case, will have a tendency
to weaken the contest of j. F. Spain
hour for Solicitor in the 10th Judi
cial district. That was a sham trial.
There is such a thing as getting
ones foot in it, or catching it in the
face.
The lawmakers, in their great
zeal saving the State, came near

mission. The Post called their at
tention to it. To over look that
would be, too bad, seeing it carries
with it three or five big slices Of pie.
And for these, there are at least 40
candidates; yet lawyers don't want
pie; the farmers are to blame, for
just forcing them into the race.
Democratic economy ran to seed
in their Printing bill agreed upon
We said let it out to the lowest bid
der That's not Democratic Then
some party worker might not get i,

that it will sour the milk in the seed
that makes the clover the COW eats
to make the milk. None are exemp-
ted, preachers, judges or any one
ele. Justice worships at the feet of
truth, not politicians in this day of
our Lord.
| The Democrats wanted to appoint
additional County Commissioners for
Chatham and Sampson counties
not to save money and give white
rule-but liquor rule. They want
men put on, it is reported, who will
grant bar-room license. How does
that strike youi Bro. Page will
please lead the prayer, and again
thank God for such wise Christian
rulers.
Captain Day will have his right to
the Office of Superintendent OF the
Psnitentlary passed upon by the
courts before he gives up. This de-
termination on his part entities him
to the Office; for it is true test that
he is still Democrat. A Democrat
never gives up an Office till forced
out by law. So quit saying Day is
not a Democrat. But Day is right
and the other fellows are wrong.
The latest flake" is to the effect
that by establishing dispensaries,
you take liquor out of politics. Why
not adopt dispensaries to raise reve-
nue. for the church, to take 1t out of
politicsi
Mr.. Julian, of Salisbury, offered q
bill saying county officers shall not
hold Office longer than three terms
It was suggested that it would take

was taken out, he could not come
here again. That's 3 buncomb bill
