THE TEMPERANCE QUESTION

Without going through files,
counting columns or measuring
spacc. THE COMMONWEALTH
feels sure that during the last
fifteen wears it has printed
mere temperance literature
than any other secular news
paDer in the State. daily or
weekly.
It is quite gratifying now to
see the State press falling into
line and making bold tight
for the cause of temperance.
The question is at issue before
the State Legislature and the
people are watching with deep
interest the proceedings OF that
body In the mattef.
The politicians all the while
have been afraid of the liquor
question: but it begins to look
like they have some others
to fear besides the liquor
people if they do not make
some effort to give the people
relief from the curse Of the Ii
auor traffic i'll the State.
The people are stirred INTO
action over the question as they
have not been since 1881. The
campaign Of that year was
somewhat a memorable one,
and the question of State prohi-
bition was lost by a large ma
ioritv. Some would argue now
that because prohibition failed
in 1881 the temperance sentl-
ment in the State is still weak.
LET it be remembered that two
decades have passed since then
and that some enlightening in
tiuences have been at work in
the State.
The question is up for solu-
ton before the Legislature OF
North Carolina, and it has
come before that body through
the demand of an enlighted-
ed public sentiment and quick
ened conscience. The true
temperance reformer considers
the question, not from a per
sonal standpoint, but from the
standpoint of protection for the
thousands of helpless women
and children of the State and
for the safety, the betterment
and the uplifting of the States
citizenship.
The part THE COMMON
WEALTH has taken in this ques
ton has always been i'll the
spirit Of pity for those who
suffer from the evils of the
drink habit and in the desire
and hope of protecting those
who are subjected to the temp
tation to drink and who seen
unable to resist it. We desire
the suppression of the liquor
evil purely and simply in the
interest and for the good OF
humanity: and we do think
that there is much inconsist-
ency among good part of the
people on this subject.
There has swept over this
State a great wave Of enthusi.
asm for education; and we sub.
NIT that there is as much claim
on the State to protect it's chill.
dren from some forms of vice
as from some forms of ignor
ance.
Which man is worth more tC
the State in the power of per
sonal life and personal exam
pie, the we'll informed man who
is a drunkard or the man who
is ignorant as to letters but who

A NEW WAY TO KILL HAWKS

Mr.. J. A. Faison, who lives near
Warsaw, North Carolina, raises a
large number Of chickens of fancy
varieties, and many people in this
section have made purchases from
him. Mr.. Faison has been in the
poultry business for a number of
years, and has been troubled a great
deal by hawks catching his little
chickens. Some days he would lose
as many as twenty.
A gentleman who has just return
ed from Warsaw tells us that he saw
a dead hawk with a little chicken in
one claw, and on making inquiry,
MI. Faison told the gentleman that
he tried the plan of mixing a little
strychnine with mucilage and plac-
ing same on the heads of the little
chickens. A few minutes after he
had tried the experiment, he heard
a hen squall, and a short time after,
going out in the grove where the
chickens were, he found the dead
hawk with the little chicken in its
claw, the head of the chicken being
eaten off by the hawk.

Hon. Simon Wolf and wife, OF

Hon. Simon Wolf and wife, of
Washington, ID. c., are in the city,
the guests of Mr.. and Mrs. Sol We'll.
In a conversation with Mr.. Wolf this
morning he recalled that this is the
3Sth anniversary of the assassination
of President Lincoln, April IA, 1865,
and stated that he and Wilkes Booth
were about the same age, had acted
together in amatuer theatricals when
college boys, and were SC much alike
in personal appearance, that after the
assassination of Lincoln he was re-
stricted from appearing upon the
streets Of Washington until after the
capture Of Booth, for fear he might
be taken for the assassin and lynch
ed before his identity could be estab-
lished. He subsequently posed as
Booth in the famous painting the
ASSASSINATION of Lincoln" now in
New York. He says that he and
Booth had met upon the street the
forenoon of that fatal Friday evening
and talked for a while of old times;
that Booth had that day been Tilted
by his sweetheart, was drinking and
in a desperate frame Of mind, but for
which, MI. Wolf thinks, the fatal
shot would not have been fired.
These incidents have never before
been published, and are peculiarly
| aPropos on this the anniversary of the
| memorable catastrophe.

Europe. Miss Helen Bertram, who has
the prima donna part, has not sung in
New York since the original production
of Foxy Quiller." Since then the prima
donna las spent two years in study
abroad, devoting her time both to dram
attic art and voice culture. Miss Bertram
has developed into a charming singing
comedienne and has an excellent oppor-
tunity to display her versatile talent in
the Pixley & Luder's opera. Composer
Gustave Luder acts as orchestra director
and will lead his own opera during it's
metropolitan run.
The leading comedy role in ''The Prince
Of Pilsen" is taken by John Ransome,
who was formerly a well-known deline-

which she has appeared since becoming
a star. The big business at the Garrick
