Southern Pines contains unique

Gated on New Hampshire avenue, in
aslnuch as it is the only drug store in
the State owned aud run by women.
Miss Sarah F. Johnson, one of the
proprietors and present manager of
the firm, enjoys the distinction of be-
the only practicing lady Pharmacist
in North Carolina She with her Sis
ter, Miss Alice E. Johnson, came to
this place early in the fall of 1892 and
opened drug store with small but
select stock.
The venture was new, the idea
new but it was a new age. The
question of a woman S success in the
Commercial and Professional world,
so far as this section was concerned,

Their carefulness, promplness and
diligent attention to busin SIS soon
won for them the confidence Of the
people who came to their place of bust
ness.
rWo years later saw them installed
in new and larger quarters more cen
traIly located (the present slte) and
with firm hold on the business of
the town. Since that time they have
continually improved stock and fix
lures, have added to base,ne1! and
rear, until now, scarcely six years la
ter, they have the reputation Of carry
ing the largest and best selected stock
in the county.
They inform our reporter that near
" every day they fill mail and phone
orders from other drug stores all over
the county and have not infrequently
shipped goods to the States Capital,
Raleigh, with its numerous retail and
wholesale drug establishments.
Miss Alice +. Johnson, the senior
member of the firm, was business
manager up to two years ago, and
her tireless energy and enterprising
efforts did much to make the business
what it now is.
She is now attending the Woinan's
Medical College of Pennsylvania where
she expects to complete the four years
course.

no break in the satisfactory service

Men claiming to be temperance ad-
vocates should hide their heads in
shame for their party under whose rule
the liquor power has made such rapid
strides, or they should never again pose
as temperance men until they sever
their connection from a party which
has for 40 years been the mainstay of
the saloon and saloon rule. A party
as well as tree or a man, should be
judged by its fruits and here are bitter
fruits enough to damn any party.

a great problem would be solved. A
boy who would ordinarily spade spot

fish he must find worms in the garden.

CONSUMPTION
OF Alcoholic Beverages
Increased.
Rev. W. F. Crispin Gives a Rea-
son For His Assertion.

To the Editor of the Democrat:
| AS there are misleading statements
frequently published as to the annual
per capita consumption of alcoholic
beverages and as the public should have
the facts before them, / ask you to
print in your paper the government sta
tistics by decades, beginning with 1850.
These statistics are from the Statisti-
cal Abstract published by the U. s.
Treasury department and they show
that our people consumed in
1S6O-6.13 gallons per capita.
1S7O-nearly 750 gallons per capita.
1SSO-1O19 gallons per capita.
1S9O-1553 gallons per capita
19OO-176S gallons per capita.
That is, since 1860 when the Repub-
lican party came into power, the con-
sumption of intoxicating beverages
has increased until we now consume
ntStIty tHTtt tiiiANo 40 pei Cup
ita, as we did in 1860.
How is that for party, whose lead
ing members say it has enacted all the
valuable temperance laws and which
says that that party is good enough
temperance party for them? Is it not
time members Of that party would
quit putting up such hypocritical
claim when their party has been in
power nearly all the time since 1860,
and since there never was a time in
the history of our country when the
liquor power was so dominant nor
when drinking, drunkenness and crime
were so rife as they are today?
To be sure we are consuming more
malt liquors now than we did then, but
