The State Board of Elections
met in Raleigh on Thursday of
last week for the purpose of can
wasting the returns of the pro-
hibition election held May 26.
The total vote for the bill was
lis, 612; against it SO, 416; maj
ority for prohibition, "A, 1876. Oh
the 200, 600 registered voters
1873, O28 went to the polls and put
themselves on record for, Oh
against this proposition. The
turnout was much larger than
either side expected it would be,
which shows very clearly that
the people of North Carolina, al
least, are tired of being contin'
ally harrassed with the vexatiouE
liquor question. 1t is time for
rest now and agitators should be
directed to a back seat. Let VI
have peace. We have had booze
long enough.

Resolutions Of Sympathy,

| Kedron Lodge 387 A. F. & A.
M. of Hendersonville desires to
place on-record an expression Of
their sincere sympathy for Broth
err Robert L.. Fletcher in the
death Of his reverend father John
Harry Fletcher.
John Harry Fletcher was sc
years old at the time of his death;
was a consistent member of the
Ebenezer Baptist Church; was
an honorable and useful member
of Clear Creek community in
which he lived; was a faithful
and devoted husband and father.
He was a member of Capt. Ships
Company in the Civil War in
which he proved himself TO be a
brave soldier and gallantcomrade
He is mourned by adbrother Joel,
a sister Mrs. Louise Maxwell;
and three children, Joel, Robert,
and Mrs. L. F. Dermid; as we'll

Looks like pretty nearly every
leading democrat in this section
of the State boarded the Craig
special at Asheville Tuesday
morning for Charlotte. The 10y
atty of Mr.. Craig's friends is,
indeed, an inspiration. No man
ever had a more solid delegation
behind him, from Western Car
Dina, than has Locke Craig this
year in his contest for Governor,
and if he fails of the nomination
it will certainly not be the fault
ofthe tenth congressional district
Of the eighty-eight votes tc
which the district is entitled,
Craig gets eighty-seven and .

previous records here

the return of harmony to the
ranks of the organization. He
is a tower of strength and a dis
tinct credit to the democracy of
this district and the State.
Mr.. Crawford has long been a
favorite of the mountain demo-
cracy and has the happy faculty
of remembering names. He
knows, personally, nearly every
in the district and is
never too busy to extend the
"glad hand" The people know
he is honest and then they take
no chances of selecting an unde-
sirable official in supporting him.
His majority this year should be
materially Increased and we firm
ly believe it will. Why notmake
it 1.5OO? We can do it. With
Bryan for president and Craw-
ford for congress, the democracy
of the district ought to sweep
everything before it. It mus
be it.

President Roosevelt dominated
the National Republican Conven-

pletely. Orders from the White
House were carried out the letter.
The masses of the republican
party in this country had very
little more to do with the NOM

president than did the man In

Big Stick and the Federal office

The fellow who has no better
argument for the support Of his
favorite candidate than abuse of
those who may oppose him is not
entitled to serious consideration
among people desiring peace and
harmony in party councils, in
stead of strife, bitterness, and
injury to the organization in the
end. Personal prejudices ought
to be put aside when we come to
make aehoice between aspirants
for public Office.

boy Goes TO Pen.

In the Federal Court yesterday
afternoon just prior to adjourn
ment for the day j. E. Shoffner,
who had been convicted of the
larceny of seven money orders
from the Southern Express Com
pany, was called up for sentence.
Mr.. F. M. Shannonhouse, his at
torney, made a strong plea for
his client, asking the court for
leniency in view of certain facts
which he cited. Mr.. Shannonhouse
stated that Shoffner's mother is
a widow and very sorely in need
of the support of her boy and
that on the very day Shoffner
was arrested he received a tele-
gram announcing the death of
his brother.
After hearing the strong appeal.
Mr.. Shannonhouse, Judge.
Boyd stated that the crime for
which the defendant stood con-
victed was most serious; that he
has not only used the mails to
defraud in one specific instance,
but, in addition thereto he had
collected on one of the Southern
Express Company's orders $35
at Burlington and on two other
orders had endeavored to secure
two diamond rings, his failure
being only due to the diligence
of the postal authorities and rep
r~esentatives of the Southern Elk
press Company. The court futher
declared that in his estimation
the imposition of a fine would be
no punishment upon the defend
ant, because of the fact that his
relatives would have to pay, and
for that reason he sentenced him
to serve a year and a day in the
Federal prison at Atlanta.
Shoffner was turned over to.
United States Marshal Harkrader
and was taken to Atlanta last
night.
The seven money orders were
stolen by Shoffner on the night
of May 9Th from the Southern
Express Company at Wexford s.

office inspectors Harshberger and
Higgins had the prisoner in Gus.

while his accomplice, Chris Picks.

CONGRESSMAN CRAWFORD.

The Tenth District Democratic
convention did a splendid piece Of
work on Monday in re-nominating
Hon. w. T. Crawford for cong
ress. In view of the fact that there
was no opposition to Mr.. Crawford
the convention was simplya rati-
fication affair, but considerable
interest manifested itself at
different intervals during the
progress of events. The attend
ance was larger than expected,
inasmuch as there was no contest,
and the enthusiasm BODIES a sweep
ing victory through the district
in November There are no "old
Sores to be healed this fall and
the democracy will go before the
people united and in good gfhting
trim. No congressional district
in North Carolina can boast of a
leader that is the superior of
William T. Crawford, whom our
people have again unanimously
called to the leadership of the
democracy of the tenth district.
He is the best fighter in the State
to-day, and when he shall have
finished with John C. Grant, of
revenue fame, there will not be a
greasy spot" left of that self
eonstituted-radical e-boss
Of the west.

stand in congress the past year,
as he always did before. and is
thoroughly prepared to give an
account Of his stewardship. He
is the ranking member of the
committee on Banking and Cur.
rancy of the House and will tel
the people an interesting story
about this republican panic which
has caused so mudh distress anC
anxiety dnring the past year
He will explain to the people why
it has been necessary to establish
bread-lines and soup-houses il
many of the large cities, during
the administration of republican
president, in order to feed starv
ing 1aborers out of employment
He will, also; tell us about the

For more than twenty-fiv.
years Mr.. Crawford has been &C
tive in politics, having served
as representative from hi
county in the State legislature
as presidential elector twice ant
elected to congress four times.
In 1900 he made more speeches
in the tenth district, for tn,

ed that | could help them win
Democratic victory.
Our platform presents the issues
clearly and definitely. and the can
didates for congress are pledged to
the same platform. The Democratic
party is pledged to purify politics
and to make II honest.
The manhood and womanhood Of
this country are rising in protest
against the debauchine of elections
and the mortgaging Of administrs-
tons to favor-seeking corporations.
Mr.. Taft was not willing to stand
by his conventions action on the
question Of election OF senators by
direc, vote of the people, so in
his notification speech he said he
was personally inclined to favor the
election or senators by the people
themselves.
We demand the establishment OF
a department Of labor. with cabi-
net officer at its head.
We believe that the writ Of iniunc-
ton shall be used so limited that
II shall not be used in labor dis
pute unless the conditions be such as
to justify the injunction II there
we're no labor dispute.
The parties differ as to the trust
question. Our party says that there
should be no private monopolies !;
that no trust should exist. The Re-
publican party says don't kill the
