and to help yourselves in the great commercial fight. You have fight, my fellow citizens, that is more desperate than the civil war; you are not fighting with flesh and blood, but you are fighting soul less heartless corporations; you are fighting Mammon, you are fighting a thing that has no senti- ment, no feeling; you are fighting d thing that would grind you and your wife and children into the dust, and in order to whip it it will take honest, consecrated and intelligent organization. Will the farmers of this state thus organize! l trust you will and that you will give faith and credit to the inten- tion of your brother farmer. Do not believe that he is fooling you, do not believe that he does not in tend to carry out his pledges, but stand shoulder to shoulder in this great movement of commercial re- formation and reform and stand assured that you have the hearty co operation and support of your governor.

THE LIQUOR QUESTION.
Editor The Journal:

Editor The Journal:
 Some time ago l said something about blind tigers, and some may conclude that Newark is the Sodonl of our county, but 1t is far from 1t. 1 was told by a citizen of Bates vile that Batesville was as bad if not worse than Newark. His con- versation led me to believe that there is no cause for Batesville to make faces at Newark. If the of ficers could have the proper assis- tance they could do more towards controlling them and enforcing the law.
 1 remember some years ago when Batesville's special prohibit tion act was repealed, one of the best citizens, or considered as such, wrote to representative asking him to use his influence to have 1t repealed. 1 am not writ ing this from guess, but from what 1 know to be facts. I sur mise that this same man will not help to enforce the law, as 1 ex- pect he is whisky man. When he, with few others 1 could name, could put stop to it, but they would have to say it so loud that they would be heard. l have no haterd for the towns. 1 expect there is boot logging done outside

 He joined the Christian church at the age of A and his life was that of a true Christian gentleman, and he enjoyed the respect and confidence of large circle of friends.

4 MISFORTUNE IN STORE Observer Flakes a Few Remarks inDefense of his Position on
 Religious" Debates.
Editor The Journal:

Editor The Journal:
 Observer noticed in your recent issue where Brother J. |. Martin had received challenge for lim- ited number of rounds in one of those religious debates'' at Grubbs, Ark; that the challenge had been accepted, but that the papers had not been signed, neith- CT have their seconds been ap- pointed or their training quarters selected. May the Lord have mercy on Grubbs. for, as sure as the time rolls around, there will be strife and discord which create heart burnings and divisions among men, break out in that little town, caused by these worldly wind-jammers, which may destroy it's society, provided they can lead the people as people have been led heretofore. And still this Is in a. land of civil;zat ton, at least we boast of that fact.
 And just a week before I notic- ed in Western journal where Pat Hooligan had challenged Mike Cratzenj jammer for limited num- Der of rounds in the pugilistic arena, and that the challenge had been accepted. seconds appointed, and training quarters selected. May the Lord have mercy on that Western city, for, as sure as the time rolls around, there will be strife and discord, confusion and clamoring in that city after the fight is pulled off almost as bad as there will be at Grubbs when the curtains are lowered after the 'sre- ligious debate" has been pulled of.
 Such deplorable condition of affairs is very much to be regret ted. 1 do hope that the good peo- pie of Grubbs will give this kind of preachers to understand that they need ministers, faithful min- isters, to convert sinners; to teach them the many lessons taught by the humble Nazarene; and to point them to life of higher ideals and ambitions, instead of arraying man against man and tearing down what others have labored so faith fully to build up.
 1 have carefully read what Bro- Brown and Bro. Martin have said in your paper on this subject. | notice that they have gone after the Observer several times about a. former article, but they have nev- CT attempted to answer his argu-
  ments. They complain that he hides behind a none de plume. What of that! It is only matter of personal preference. It is not necessary for them to know the observer name, because they need not enter into personalities with the writer. We have no i'll will toward either of these brothers. l think that if 1 were in their po- sltion and was so inconsistent and out-of- date as to attempt to justify those religious debates" that | would only be too glad to couch behind a non de plume.

of the towns. But I hate the dis honest business with as much hat red as l do Satan. In fact it is one of Satan's prolific breeders of debauchery and crime. Don't you believe this! If you do not then go to the court records and see. It is the candid opinion of the writer that nine- -tenths of the crimes can be traced either direct ly or indirectly to this monstrous evil. The question Is, are we go- ing to lay quietly by and let Satan and his imps carry us back into his barbarous grasp, and again place the letters on us that causes so many heart aches and tearsl Has 1t come to pass that good men are almost afraid to ask for places of trust because they fear the saloon elementl Our officers cannot enforce the law alone. They must have help. Fellow-cit- izens let me ask you to withhold your criticism unless you are ready to help the officers to en- force the laws.
 1 want to go on record as saying that l do not believe that any man who will support the whisky traf- fick by his vote or otherwise is acting the part of a good citizen. Then let us buckle on the armor, with the sword (the Bible) in hand and stand ready to go to the front at the first blast of the trumpet to do our part as good citizens and rid our town and county of that which debauches char ter, thwarts the purpose of the law and helps no one. l have spent the most of my life in this county. Father moved here from North Carolina when 1 was boy. I was out of the county few years, but 1 have always stood with the temperance folks, but l consider this q moral question, and all par ties should join hands in opposing this evil. Will we do it! I come with this plea and ask all who are for law and order to join hands in the fight. 1 ask every preacher in the county who indorses the fol- lowing to drop me card as 1 want, some time in the future, to publish their names in The Jour- nal
 PLEDGE.

GOV. DAVIS TO THE FARMERS
ffe Endorses the Plan of Organ iZing Unions, and Makes
 Few Suggestions.

0A @hh heAtA.'.sAo HI e9'NiNA oo NAiR | 1I
 mer's Unions that are being or ganized all over the state:
 l am not q farmer and know nothing by actual experience of your wants and necessities, but 1 do know that l am willing to help you, if my official endorsement and my official sanction of the ob- jects and purposes of this great in- dustrial move that is now on hand will be of any assistance to you. The farmers of the state can ab- solutely control every public situa- tion. You have the numbers, you have the power, you produce the wealth of the world, you produce the things we all need, the things we must have, and if you will but organize with Il proper motive and object Tn view you can be masters of the situation; and it is with this purpose in view that l issue to you this request and give to your organization my official sanction and endorsement. If the farmers are prosperous and happy their prosperity k the prosperity of the whole body polite; if-they are op- pressed, if they are burden ridden, this likewise affects us all. So 1t Is to the interest of the business man, it Is to the interest of the merchant, the lawyer, the doctor, 1t is to the interest of all that the farmer be prosperous.
 How can you do this my fellow ,citizensl This Is the question that is asked and the question that must be intelligently answered. 1 believe that these farmers organi- cations arc potent factor in this great work of bringing the farm CTS of the South from under their bondage. Intelligent organization, intelligent unity and concert of ac- tion is the remedy that must be employed by you to win the great fight that you are engaged in. This fight will not end today nor tomorrow. It Is a fight for the future and you must go about 1t as patriots, looking to the great good of the whole people. 1 be- lieve that the object of this organ ization is right, that is, that you your crops, do not raise more of one commodity than can be sold at fair price, and do not crowd the market with commod ity, but hold for price which you yourselves can command. Cut your acreage of cotton down, raise your supplies at home, hold half of your next crop if necessary. Let the other fellow, the consum- CT, get busy wanting the things you raise. Then you, and not the consumer, will control the prices. l would not advise you to organize against the merchant, against the banker, the doctor or the lawyer
 this would not be right. l would not array one class against another; we are common broth erhood, but you are the substratum you are the base rock upon which the fabric of this republic is build ed, and 1 do advise you to so or ganize and stand together as that you can control the price of things which you yourselves produce. You can do this; you ought to do 1t, bL do not let politics get into your organization; 1t will ruin it. Let nothing enter there except desire to help the general public

old and new. He is having nIentv of
the latter, to judge from the Vienna
papers. Some of the notices which have
recently been published are REPRODUCED
here.
The. Wiener Tageblatt OF April says:
The violinist, Fitzhugh Goldsboroueh.
gave second concert on March q. in
which the wonder of the audience was
aroused to an even greater extent than
in his first concert by the splendid
technique and warm tone of the artist.
The spirited applause with which his
achievements were rewarded ceased only
after three encores had been played at
the close of the concert
The Vienna Deutsches Volksb:att, of
March %. has the following to say:
THE second concert of the violin
virtuoso, Fitzhugh c. Goldsborough, was
a splendid success. The artist has a
mastery control over his instrument
and each number of his long and very
select program was followed by hearty
and, at times. stormy applause. In the
Bach e major prelude, Sarsate's VIII
Spanish dance, and Franz Ries' suite In
G major, he so carried away the audi
ence that positively inspiring applause
followed which lasted until Mr. Colds
borough had played three encores at
the close OF the concert"

Lenten Musicale.

Oscar Gareissen's 8 second Lenten musi-
Gale was given on Thursday Afternoon IN
the ballroom of the Raleigh when Mr..
Gareissen had the assistance OF Mile
Harden-H Hickey, J. Mareen Cushing,
pianist, and Mrs. Harry White, accom-
panist.
In this, as in his former concert
which was given also In the Raleigh,
Mr. Gareissen displayed his fine bass
voice to splendid advantage in series
Cf songs. His voice is of beautiful quail
ity and his long experience as concert
singer have done much to make his
work of unusual interest to music low
ers.
Mile. Harden-Hickey, who came into
prominence here some weeks ago when
she sang in Convention Hall with the
High School Chorus. Is another valuable
addition to the Washington musical CO.
terie. Mile Harden-T{ickey voice Is
one of the finest sopranos heard here in
years and in the few entertainments in
which she has appeared during the pres
ent season she has won distinct place
among prominent artists Mr.. Cusl-
irg's piano solos Were delightfully."- given
In fact, 1t would be difficult to say
just which artist was the star of
