In The Messenger OF the 18th inst.
was IL brief editorial, commenting on
Il few lines from The Raleigh Times,
suggesting that C~lairyoyant Bauer go
up. and tell Governor Glenn when ne
would De able 10 get on his water
wagon" Following is the paragraph.
which the correspondent hopes that
The Messenger will allow him 10 re
produce:
1T win take a greater clairyoyanr
than Mr.. Bauer and a more astute po!-
itician than Governor Glenn 10 tell
when the voters of the state will con
sem to the latter's proposition 10
throttle the will Of the people Of this
or any other city in the state because
the latter do not think as they do On
~1 r~O.oc;+sNn Mr. Clonn in his
declared position in favor of 'throt-
thing the will of the people of certain
cities and towns of the state seems 10
forget that those people are exercis-
ing their rights under privileges grant
ed and guaranteed to them by the plat
form Of the party on which he was
elected governor of the state
The Messengers position OIL the pro-
hibition question is right. That paper
is willing that, wherever counties or
towns want prohibition, they shall
have it, but not willing that Governor
Glenn or anybody else should drive
rOugh-shod all over the state with a
water wagon" big enough to take on
all the people, whether they want a
seat in the hobby or not. However.
let's not worry. The governor Is al
ter the interests of r. B. Glenn No. !
strictly, and thinks that the universal
water wagon would be popular with
most of the members Of the next legis-
lature .
Cards have been received by their

the police force, and deputy sheriff, II
all which positions he vas conscien-
tious and faithful in the discharge Of
his duties.
The long drought in the upper Cape

A package of Is letters, many ct
them valuable and containing checks,
etc, ~aggregating several hundred dol
lars, made up at the Fayetteville Of
flee for Saturday nights northbound
mail on the Atlantic Coast Line rail
road, was found early yesterday morn
ing by a colored man, alongside the
track near Goodwin and he admits that
he opened all the letters, though the
contents were found intact. The col-
ored man gave the letters to Mr.. Hem
ingway, of Goodwin, who delivered them
at the Fayetteville p%ostofice today.
Whether this means carelessness il
the railway mail service, or that the

away, must remain for an official IN
vestigation.
