WHIsKEY HIS ENEMY.
Prosperous Citizen of South Carolina
Town Begged That His Wife be
Photographed for in Order that
he Might be Taken Away
from Temptation.
from Temptation.

'Mr. Bonitz, send a telegram to my
wife and tell her to come and get me.
/ am drunk and L just believe | will
stay here forever unless she comes
for me-" That is the way a we'll
dressed man, of prosperous appear
ance, addressed the proprietor of q
Wilmington hotel Sunday morning. He
had landed in that city last Friday
drunk, not knowing where he was, and
he had thought to take the Florence
train at Wilson, but had really taken
the Wilmington one. Sunday he was
somewhat sobereG, but fully convinced
that he would get drunk again if he
left the hotel alone. His utter distrust
of himself, his confidence in his wife.
and his actual need of help were stllk-
ing. and Immediately suggested the
sinner VINO would stay in his sins for
ever and the kind Saviour who has
only to be summoned TO come and
get" him; the humility and disgust
ar ones self that makes him call upon
Jesus, ard the love of Jesus who dis
regards faults and comes. "Oh, she'll
understand; she knows my infirmity,
he said. and there was apparently not
a thought on his part That she would
chide him or fail to come. And, OF
course. she came, as comes that friend
of all friends when He is sent for, for
He knows our infirmities and loves us
in spite of them. But just suppose He
shouldn't come, tine poor sinner would
really stay in his sins forever, for there
is only che name given under Heaven
whereby we must be saved, and It is
a blessed thing that one doesn't have
to wait to get good before Jesus Will
take him in charge.

people at the polls. A citizen of
Wilkes in a private letter says:
Think of it, Two steam distilleries
I have been running in the county, with
capacities of probably fifty to seventy

the smaller ones on the old style. Two
revenue officers have cut up now and

that those cut up in several instances
were mere decOy ducks.
THE steam distillery run openly

Every official in Wilkes county

The temperance people in Wilkes owe
it to themselves to prevent the con-
tinued further fragrant violations of
the law. The General Assembly to
meet in January should enact neceS-
sary Legislation that will rid the peo-
pie of Wilkes and other counties. of
the curse under which they are turn
ing-a curse of officials who do not
do their duty and who seek political
power by making weak men drunk
buying the votes of the depraved, and
putting a premium upon violation of
the law.

HISTORY WILL REPEAT ITSELF

In 1892-only twelve years ago, be-
loved-the Democratic candidate for
President received PIT electoral votes
and the Republican candidate received
only 145. This was the smallest num-
Der of electoral votes received
by a defeated candidate for the pres-
dency since Greedy. The defeat
than this electoral vote shows because
he carried Ohio only by about one
thousand majority, Mr.. Cleveland re-
ceiving one of the electoral votes of
the State.
The unexpected and terrible defeat
of Harrison was so discouraging that
some influential newspapers began to
seriously discuss whether the Repub-
lican party could ever recover from
the defeat. Most of them thought
they might recover in a quarter of q
century, but some believed that the
Republican party was nearing the fate
that overlook both the Wing and the
Fcderalist parties. The gloom that
fell upon the Republicans Of America
in November, 1892, was about as great
as the one which now sets heavily
upon the Democratic party.
Two years thereafter, towit in the
year 1894, after the Democrats had
won that sweeping victory in 1892,
the Republicans won the greatest vic
tory they have won in the history of
a., ;otn tnp no
that of November, 1904. They not
only carried every Northern and West
ern State, but carried also Maryland,
Kentucky, Missouri and North Caro-
lima, and came Within a fraction of
carrying Tennessee, and made gains
in Virginia, Texas and in nearly every
Southern State.
In 1872 Mr.. Greedy as defeated for
the presidency by IL vote so large that
it broke his heart and caused his
death. 1t looked like the Democratic
party had forever been swept off the
face of the earth. 1t was seriously
advocated that the party disband and
permit the organization of another
party. Two years thereafter-in
1S74-the Democrats carried the
House of Representatives by a sweep
ing majority and in 1876 elected Mr..
Tilden president of the United States
only fraud and preventing his inau-
guration.
Here are two examples of how both
the Republican and Democratic parties
quickly recovered from what seemed
to the superficial observer annihila-
ton.
Why should not the Democratic
party recover as greatly in 1906 as it
did in 1874? Why should not the
Democratic party in this defeat re-
cover as quickly as the Republican
party did in 1894?
1.-THE principles of the Democratic
party are immortal" declared Vance
History will repeat itself, and from the
defeat of last Tuesday the Democratic
party will rise with renewed strength
to fight and win the battle against
predatory wealth, militarism and sec
tionalism.

TO MAKE RALEIGH BEAUTIFUL.
Progressive Women Organize for Aid
in Improving Raleigh.


The City improvement branch of
the Woman's Club held its first
monthly meeting on Wednesday. The
following resolutions were adopted:
! Ihat IN order to assist the munci-
pal IN their efforts to make Raleigh
more cleanly healthful and beauti-
tul, that the cooperation and inter-
est OF the citizens be enlisted in the
I cause.
l. That committee of ladies be
appointed to canvass each street or dis
trict enrolling the names of each
householder, tenant, agent, merchant
/ and tradesman, who is willing to enter
into this move for the betterment or
our city, believing that in this way
the root Of the evils now existing may
be eradicated.
The line of work of the committee
as resolved by the association is as fol-
lows:
/. That said householder, tenant.
agent merchant tradesman or resident
of any persuasion, agree to place all
paper and other Objectional debris in
a barrel or box on their own premises.
and not on the sidewalk or street in
front, at side or at back of said res
idence, etc, and to hold the same
there until the city cart makes its
round.
2. That the municipal authorities be
traverse certain streets or districts on
a certain day and that the driver
of said cart be provided with Il WhiS-
tie that will give notice of his arrival
for contents of box or barrel--and that
said driver be instructed TO leave no
paper on the street however small 1T

propose TO take up-but always with
Difference to those in power.
We as women citizens who have the
interest of our city at heart propose
some suggestions as to the public
buildings parks and anything tending
towards public benefit that may have
been overlooked by the authorities in
charge of the same.
We as women citizens believe that
all reform must begin at the pivotal
center of the home or its environ
ments.
We, as women taxpayers feel that
the right should be accorded us in
making suggestions for the advance
ment of our city in any line of civic
Improvement.
The society approaching the onerous
task undertaken by our Board of AL
dermen as attested by the report of
ordinances for 1900, instituted the
branch for civic Improvement in or
der to aid them in their arduous work
in making a "Citv Beautiful" an or
nament to the State as it's Capitol City.
Tho this matter has been brewing
in the minds of many for a long
period there seemed no outlet for this
overflow of civic pride until the decis-
ion was formed by a body of women
to club together for Educational.
Philanthropic, Literary, Musical, Ar
tistic, Domestic and Civic purposes.
The many sided craft has been
launched, ana with favorable winds
and tides it goes on its various mis-
sions to help each other to help man

Palenapa wound the soldier around a

for the patrol wagon and found that
