CHILDREN FOR PROHIBITION.

Perhaps some people in Scotland
Neck may say that 1t is folly to talk
about children caring for prohibition.
A gentleman OF unquestloned veraci-
ty told us few days ago how he over
heard two little boys in the dark talk
{ ing about liquor. One OF the little
fellows said to the other, 81 hope to
the Lord they will get it out of town.
The man who related this said that
If he had no other motive the wish Of
that boy to have the liquor traffic
banished from the town would make
him strong prohibltionist.

PETERSON'S STRONG
LETTER.

"Prohibition does not prohibit Is

see the effects of prohibition in
good old Sampson.
al have never seen such change
in any place as there is here. For
long time after we got our pro-
hibition law we had blind tigers
here in town, but that was on &C
count of our town government.
The mayor nor the commissioners
did not care anything about it,
and did not try to stop it. They
said there was no chance to do
ANYTHING with the whiskey folks.
They said they could get no EVIL
dence against them and could not
do anything with them. But we
determined to have a change In
our town government and we had
bitter fight at the election. The
Lord was on our side and we beat
the whiskey ticket two to one,
and In less than a month after K.
Fl. Hubbards was elected mayor,
he had arrested-and bound over
for selling whlskey."
(The letter names four persons
who were arrested but we suppress
the names.-EDIToR.)
