THE TRUE SITUATION IN WILKES
COUNTY.

Much has been said about the effect
the Watts bill or the London bill would
have upon moral and political conditions
in Wilkes county. Either bill would stop
the country stills, the chief source of
the whiskey evil in that county. The
Republican legislators from Wilkes pre-
dict that il the country stills are driven
out, the Republicans will carry that
county by 1000 Majority. If they really
believed such bill would more than
double their majority, would they be
found fighting against it so hard?
The Legislature should drive every
still out of Wilkes county in order to
give the preachers, the teachers and other
good Ieople a chance to save the many
who are debauched and injured by their
demoralizing influence. II it costs the
Democratic party some votes, let it lose
them rather than be responsible for the
corrupting influence of these kettles Of
the devil" whose product has denied to
Wilkes county full opportunity to be
controlled by its best people. But we
Wilkes county as to believe they love
whiskey- making enough to cause that
heroic minority that has stood true
though an hundred defeats to desert their
principles because they may not debauch
their neighbors with sow-paw. In fact,
the great bulk of the good people CT
Wilkes have no connection now and never
have had with the demoralizing bust
ness.
There are those who think the pass
age of the Watts bill would make Wilkes
county Democratic. We do not look
for that result, but it would tend to pre-
vent The successful political debauchery
which the Radical party has carried on
with the stills as their recruiting sta
tons.
knows the people of every section of the
county better than any man in it, in q
private letter to the editor Of this pa
per, received yesterday, says:
I'm my opinion the liquor traffic is
WHOLLY responsible for the political
situation in Wilkes county today.
know in part at least whereof l speak,
and L see no reason why if the cause be
removed that our county should not re-
turn to its first love. L want to thank
you for the great fight you have been
waging, and trust that the God of bat
ties may yet give us the victory. If
can at any time aid in the fight let me
know"
The legislators ought to listen to such
counsel as this rather than to any at
torneys who naturally are chiefly inter
ested in representing the business pros
perity Of their clients, the whiskey dis
tillers.

A case calling for the severest denun-
citation for the guilty and the deepest
sympathies for the injured caused sem
sation in our county quite recently. Two
tenants of Mr.. D. B. Coltrane, on the
DR.. Mills place, have eloped with
Mrs. Turner and a Mrs. Johns. 1t Is
very distressing, for Mrs. Tinker, as she
has a group of children and says the
relations between herself and husband
were always agreeable till this time.
Her husband had mortgaged about all the

THE VOTE is 16 TO /.

Wilkes county will enjoy absolute pro-
hibition very soon. After stubborn OPP
position by both the Republican members
from the county of Wilkes, the bill intro
duced by Mr.. Kinslaw, of Haywood
county, passed the Proposition and
Grievances Committee of the House last
night by the vote of 16 to l, the only
negative vote being cast by General John
Quincy Adams Bryan, 1.-The old red fox"
Whatever fate the ratio of 16 to l may
meet in New York or Vermont it has
never been of issue in North Carolina
without winning by large majority
The Wilkes bill having passed the COM
mittee by a practically unanimous vote,
it will go through the Legislature by a
large majority. 1t is not "a divine
ratio" but in North Carolina it has
proved to be winning ratio.
When Wilkes is dry" that county will
go forward and take its rightful place in
North Carolina. With whiskey prohib
tied we look for better schools and a
rapid reduction of the big illiterate per-
centage that Radcalism and Whiskey
have brought about in that good county

Weak and sickly women who are ex-

sleep very poorly, have no appetite, and
are sometimes overcome by Headache
and Dizziness will find a few doses of

the weak system, restore the appetite
and promote sound sleep. The most deli
cate system can retain it. Don't fail

CURED OF RHEUMATISM.

For the benefit of suffering humanity,
I desire to state that l suffered severely
with Muscular and Sciatic Rheumatism
for five years. During this time l tried
a variety of so-called remedies, as we'll
as the prescriptions of several physicians
which afforded me very little if any relief.
The pain in my back, bps and legs was
agonizing and almost unbearable. I
could hardly walk, and thought / would
be obliged to abandon my business.
A friend of mine advised me to try
URICSOL, which | did reluctantly, and
greatly to my surprise, one bottle cured
me sound and well. / cheerfully recon-
mend it to all who suffer as l did. 1t is
also a very fine tonic. 1t increases the
appetite, aids digestion, and finally builds
up the general health. You can use this
as you think best.
Very truly,
