desire to enter, and the rules governing the same are as
follows:
MAN one vote will be given the subscriber, which he is privi~
lodged to cast for any reputable citizen. When suhscrip-
lions are secured by an agent, the agent is given a similar
number Of votes. He also, is priviledged to cast them same
as above.
End. Coupons, bearing date Of issue and the number of
votes to which the subscriber, or agent, is entitled, will be
issued when payment is made. All coupons must be placed
on file in this office within fifteen days after being issued, or

We Millertown people have

As one of the correspondents
has been telling you about the.late
Emily Miller, and about her con.
dition in this world and the world
to come, and about finding all her
money sewed up in her feather
bed, I will say that this is a mis-
take. We know some people who
we're acquainted with her and
who cared for her for some time
and perhaps we know just a little
about how she was. Of course we
will admit that she was a woman
who perhaps never knew thorough
ly of the One who cares for Souls
as she never protested religion,
and she was of course a wicked
woman, but she she never cursed
her cats, as she always liked them,
would call them, Sweetie, Bios
som and other PIT names. W.
lust want to make some of these
things clear, SO as not to make
matters any worse than they are.
J. Cal Fraley has been catching
some fine fish we are told. He
caught a fine carp a few days ago.
II, Calvin Miller has something
like measles or the rosaola, he
has been sick a few days.

Rowan for Prohibition.

Rev. S. F. Conrad, Of Charlotte,
was in the city recently and, IN
writing of his visit, he says:
II mingled much among the
crowds on. the street and talked
with men from different parts of
the county and did not hear a
single doubtful utterance as to
the probability of carrying the
county. Everybody seemed hope
full and I believe with good work
and organization Rowan county
will come up with a majority for
prohibition. It is certainly a
live wire and though there are 10
saloons and several distilleries
here there is the most logged de-
termination to drive them from
the county"

Injury TO Whole State? No.

The State may at some time ard
to some extent have been injured
by bad management and bad leg
islation, but it has never been H.
jursd by legislation prohibitory OF
the liquor tramc-the still house
and the saloon. They do not
produce material or intellectual
nor the best citizenship. They
never build up a great common
wealth. They are anarchists.
They tear down and destroy
wealth; they corrupt and degrade
the citizen. Their product is
only evily continually. They DO
manufacture jalls and penitentl-
aries ano they produce the criml-
nails to occupy them. They do
erect the gallows and bring forth
murderers to hang on them,
Nothing better can be said OF
them.
The ratification of the prohlbl'
tion bill and thereby the Danish
ment of the still house and the
saloon on the Goth May, is the
service the people can render the
old North State.
No, the prohibition bill is not
wrong. Prohibition Is right
That "open letter" is all wrong.
1t is the most complete conglom-
Grafton of Heterogeneous compost
ton that I ever remember having
seen packed in over three columns
of a newspaper. The writer is a
wandering star gone astray.

The Saloon Must Co..
BY REV. G.. W. BELK..

Rise Ye Men of North Carolina,
Hear We not the muf1ed roar
OF the Battle Drum resounding
From the Mountains to the Shore?
Glenn and Pritchard stand together!
See,-the Banner floating high
Bearing the sublime inscription:
North Carolina Will Go Dry"
From the piny peaks of Yancy,
70 the sandy shores of Dare,
Keep that Banner proudly waving,
Press the battle every whero;
Strike for Home and Wife and Chill
dren;
Let this be your battle cry,
AS the conflict warns and thickens;
North Carolina Shall Go Dry"
Long have we endured this evil,
Seen it's fruits and it's curse;
Tried to check and regulate it,
But it went from bad to worse!
Shall we tolerate it longer?
Let it still our Laws defy?
Help us, God of Home and Mother,
North Carolina Shall Go Dry"
1t has left wives worse than widows,
Children more than orphans made;
Blight and ruin, grief and sorrow
Are it's common stock in trade:
Let it, since it showed nc pity,
Now in vain for pity cry;
Let your ballot be your answer:
"North Carolina Shall Be Dry"
Hol Ye Sons of Carolina,
Up, and arm you for the fray;
For the fight is to the finish
On the twenty-sixth of May
Just a long, strong pull together,
As we see the day draw nigh,
And you hear these words at sunset:
"North Carolina Has Gone Dry!"

There will be a free entertain
ment at Crescent Thursday night
before Easter, April 10Th. Come
one, and all.
John Henry Hamilton is sick
with pneumonia. We hope for
him a speedy recovery.
Mrs. Luther Lyerly, who has
been afflicted with neuralgia of the
nerves, and her daughter, Miss
Beulah, who had erysipelas, also
her son, Paul, who accidentally
cut his foot very seriously, are all
gradually convalescing, we are
glad to say. That their recovery
may be speedy is the sincere desire
of the whole community.
Geo, Brown has done something
that will probably revolutionize
the process of manufacturing BIZ
cycles. Instead of pumping air
into his wheel he just stuffs the
tires full of cotton. He says they
are puncture proof and need no
pumping.
There will be communion SER
vice at Christiana Sunday. April
18th. On Saturday there will be
preaching at two o'clock p. M,
after which there will be a mis-
sionary sale. Everybody cordial
" invited to attend these services.
We would like to know who
Fred is, who halls from St. Luke's?
Say, Fred, don't you think it
would be a good plan to have a
prohibition rally at Rowan Acad-
envy soon? Let us get together
and arrange. The State will fur
nlsh us with big speakers.
Ray Thomas, who has been very
sick with pneumonia, is able to be
out again.
It is might nice that Xerxes can
crawl into his mud house and let
others fight for him. The mis-
siles hurled by Corneliusorum'

the gas of their explosions was

wounded and captured and now
gently slumbers in the arms of
Morpheus, while the visitors gath
er around and behold him breathe
his troubled life away. Soon he
will reach the Styx and cross over
into the eternal shades, where our
ancestors, far back into the misty
remoteness of American antiquity,
are awaiting the dawn of resur-
rection morn.

Planting corn seems to be claim
ing the attention of the farmers
at present.
The health of the community
is very good at present.
The late frost has left us some
fruit for which we should be
thankful.

son, we're welcome visitors at F.
L. Agoner's Saturday night and
Sunday.
G. L. Prick, wife and two little
daughters, visited at 6. F. Tricks
Sunday.
Now I wish to answer Fred's
question to the anti-prohitionists,
also to make some comments on
the same. This is the question,
as he put it:
eff you knew that you were
going to die the 9th of May, how
many of you would vote against
prohibition?"
Mono. Neither do I believe that
a single one Of you and your pro-
hibition crowd of slop-haulers
would haul slop today if you knew
that you we're going to die tomor-
row, for we would have something
of more Importance to do.
Now, Bro. Fred, you call us
good people, then don't be I'M
easy. Such people always act in
telligently. 1t is those who prac'
tice one thing and preach another
that need your begging and the ad-
vlce,thatyou give. True, the man
who votes against prohibition has
many things to consider, and the
man who votes for it has as many,
if not more. How any man can
~patronize the distillery by buying
their slop, selling them wood, or
any other way and then preach
and vote for prohibition is a prob
lem that we can't understand.
Why some of them give US this
answer when we say to them, why
do you prohibltionists use still
slop. "Well, we are prohibition
lists, but our hogs are not" Now,
we think when their hogs get on a
bender, by drinking the slop, SO
they have to nail the fence togeth-
er to keep them in os has been the
case, it is time to gut preaching
prohibition.
Bro. Fred charges that we claim
prohibition will ruin the schools
of Rowan county. Now you
know, and every other man Of Or
binary intelligence knows that
Rowan county, outside of Sails
bury, does not get a dollar from
the saloons. No, brother, we are
not going to let them, nor you,
pull the wool over our eyes. Now,
brother, you call on Bro. Xerxes
to help make the campaign warm.
We have had enough of that kind
of campaigns. Not only that,
YOU had better call for one that IS
old enough to vote. Give us
young men for war and old men
for council. OLD FoGeY.

An End Missinu,

An Irishman who served on board a man-of-war was selected by one of 4he officers to haul in towline of con siderable length that was towing over 1he taffrail. After pulling in 40 or 50 fathoms, which had put his patience severely to proof, as well as every muscle of his arms, he muttered to himself:
 Surely it's as long as today and to- morrow. It's a good weeks work for any five in the ship. Bad luck to the leg or the arm it'll leave at last. What, more of it yet? Och, murder! The says mighty deep, to be sure!"
 After continuing in similar strain and conceiving there was little prob ability of the completion of his labor, he suddenly stopped short, and, ad- dressing the officer of the watch, ex- claimed: Bad manners to me, sir, if \ don't think somebody's cut off the a7ther end of it!"-The Pathfinder.
