about o'clock last night, brought
in young Snipes, the neWs-butcher,
who was met here by DR.. r. A. Smith,
who had been telegraphed for. say
ing that man had been hurt at
Princeton.
1t seems that young Snipes had
made it a habit 10 take his trunk
off at Princeton upon the arrival Of
the train there. awaiting its return
next morning, it being his home. AS
the train ran up 10 the station young

Investigation. found his skull cracked,
and several bruises on his body. He
gave him stimuantS and Snipes was
brought on to this city and hurried
to the GoldSbOro Hospital where DR.

Glenn on Prohibition.
Governor II. Is. Glenn spoke in the
Messenger Opera House last night
on the subject OF prohibition, riding
six hundred miles-aIl the way from
Chattanooga. Tenn. where his elo-
quence and sincerity for the upbuild-
ing Of the old North State thrilled Il
great audience on Friday night-tO
fiji his appointment here and talk
To our people on this basic principle
of their substantial progress and per
manent prosperity and aDindng hap
DineSS.
Governor Glenn is always assured Of
a large audience in GoldSbOrO, but
that which greeted him last night waS
the lar@cs- ever seen IN this city
on any occasion. SO densely did it
tax the capacity of the house that
many seeking admission went away
again unable To find even standing
room. and throughout his great
speech, which many who have heard
him often say was the greatest of his
life, his every word was distinctly
heard, and his cloquenve, convincing
arguments and deep cncerty (for
Bob Glenn NaS sincere last nightD
won all his hearers and settled con-
should vote in tomorroW's (Tuesday's)
election.
If there were any in his great au-
dience who had doubts, those doubts
were swept away forever; if there
We're any who were Tying to fool
Their bettcr-SelVes into voting for bar
rooms on the morrow. they were
brought face to face with the facts
and the eternal principle involved
and made TO realize in all it's enor-
nifty what d vote for bar-roomS
means
His mention of the fact of a brutal
attack made upon him by some one
recently in newspaper in Whining
ton and his saying if the people of
North Carolina believed that SANDER,
that he would send his resignation to-
morrow. brought forth applause, the
like of which was never before heard
in the halls of the opera house, thus
showing that Bob Glenn" is dear
TO the hearts of our people and that
no common Slanderer, such as the one
Of Wilmington. could change their
love for the man who is now walking
in the shoes of our own Chas. b.
Aycock, and who is striving to do
so much for the upbuilding of North
Carolina.
Governor Glenn clearly defined his
position on the Whskey question He
said he was not trying to interfere
with any existing law rs to temper
ance, and what he had to say was as
an Individual not to commit any party
TO his views. He thought the time
was ripe for prohibition and believed
it could be carried throughout the
state. and in doing this, ne said Il
would not neceSSitate the repeal of my
law. When a county has prohibition
and those surrounding it have Whis-
key, the Whiskey counties utilize the
effects of prohibition on the county
having it, he declared, and continued
that in the interest of temperance ara
in the interest of the people il is bet
ter to have state rather than county
prohibition.
He answered the argument of The
whiskey people that the sale of Whis-
key helped business by showing that
in GOldSboro the volume of business
had increased S148,000 in the FIRST
prohibition year: that men made de-
