J. R. Godfrey has the contrac
for erecting a nice residence il
Salisbury for M. L Jackson.
Samuel Lawrence Belk on Tues
day was bitten on the face by 6
dog. the wounds being quite pain
lful.
Fresh paint is beautifying many
residences and buildings in oul
little city, and it would seem
there Is to be no let-up in the i'm.
provement line on account of dull
times.
The Albemarle graded school
will close on Friday of next week,
excepting the ninth grade, which
will be carried on to the end of
the school year. This is due to
a lack of money. The Wiscassett-
Ffrd school is not affected.
TIE Wiscassett Band will assist
in furnishing music at the Repub-
lican convention of the State,
which meets at Greensboro this
morning. Quite compliment to
the young men of the band.

the several Knights of Pythians
lodges OF the united dis trict met
n accordance with a call made by

A. Smith, of Albemarle lodge,
welcomed the members of the va
rious lodges In an appropriate

every one. The program was con-
cluded by Grand Chancellor Crist,

resulted favorably to Mr.. Clement.
Mr.. Clement received a majority
of 1875 votes. Beside the endorse

WATcHMAN, we publish below a
splendid and deserved endorse
ment by the Bar of Salisbury.
He has also been endorsed by the
Democratic Convention of Ran
dolph county.
"We, the members of the Sails
bury Bar, desire to heartily rec om-
mend our fellow townsman and
brother lawyer, Mr.. Hayden
Clement, IS a fit and worthy can
didate for the office of Attorney
General of North Carolina. We
do this because we like Mr.. Glenn
ent very much personally, but,
more because we think him splen-
didly equipped in every way, to
fill the Office with entire accepta-
bility to all persons concerned,
He has been performing the du-
ties of the Office, for most of the
time since his appointment as
Assistant Attorney General, We
have it from the highest authority,
that his work has been exceedingly
satisfactory. Mr.. Clement has
the ability, courage, experience,
training, polse and general bear

but the city is aroused as never
before, with the possible ex-
ception of the time when the
Louisiana lottery was destroyed,
and ministers and members of the
Protestant churches regard the
persecution as the precursor of a
greater and more decided victory
for temperance next fall.
The other incident occurred in
the same city. 1t was the publi-
cation, by daily newspaper of
that city. of a letter from a mana
ger Of a brewing company in Mil
waukee with the following threat
of boycott if it did not cease to
''boost the prohibition game"
Dear Sir-We beg to call your
attention to the fact that certain
newspapers throughout the coun-
try feel rather inclined to boost
the prohibition game, making
large front-page displays with far
ing headlines presumably in
sympathy with the Anti-saloon
League, etc }, which the brewers
in general are keeping record OF
1--WE being no exception), and as
you have had certain proportion
of our business in the past, we
we feel it our duty to advise you
that all these different newspapers
who fail to suppress prohibition
and Anti-saloon League news here
after for which they receive moth
ing, while the brewers are large
advertisers, spending enormous
sums of money in newspaper ad-
vertlsers, spending enormous sums
Of money in newspaper advertis-
ing every year) will not only lose
our patronage, but also that of al
most every brewery in the United
States. We are now receiving
daily reports on this subject. and
all papers continuing to knock
out business in this way can ex-
pect to be turned down on any
future advertising contracts from
both ourselves and all other large
breweries.
With a boldness approaching
madness, the brewers demand Of
the newspapers tEat they suppress
prohibition and Anti-Saloon Lea
que news hereafter.' Should this
threatened boycott become a real
ity, Christians everywhere shoulo
stand by and support the press
that dares to defy such an insult
to an enlightened people. Plain
ly and more plainly Is it being re-
vealed that the love of money
rather than regard for Right Is the
basic passion that prevents mems
minds into the mistaken convic
tion that tion and boycott
can ucceed in this day.

authorities, who had previously
given the permission, to peremp-
torily demand the Tabernacle's
destruction.
Thefeupon, a body of citizens
interested in the revival, tele-
graphed the truth of the situation
to President Roosevelt, and he in
turn had the Treasury Depart
ment wire back to spare the build
ing pending an investigation.
This telegram was held in the Of
fee of the local custodian from
Saturday until Monday at 1915
p. m. In the meantime, under
the terms of an agreement orgi-
nally made between the local GUS
todian and the minister's commit
tee, the building had been sold
and it's demolition begun. Thus
liquor apparently won, In reali-
ty though, it has but given the
American people another sample
Of its true spirit by descending to
persecution and falsehood.
The utter loss Of our building,
broke up the revival just as it was
entering upon it's widest scope.
Who but God can number the
souls who thereby lost a chance to
gain eternal life? Already over
four hundred had been won to
Christ.
The last service was held Sun
day evening, April IL, when fully
five thousand people, the largest
Protestant congregation that ever
gathered in New Orleans, met to
hear Mr., Hams farewell sermon.
On that occasion he was invited
by unanimous vote of the peo
pie to return to our city next fall
and resume his interrupted labors.
Two incidents Of Significance
have occurred recently in New
Orleans, and not the least of thei1
significance Is the fact that they
may be repeated in any city Of
community of our country. Both
incidents serve to show the des
peration to which the traGckers
in drink have been driven. The
latest and the most plainly par
taking Of persecution was the
securing a Government order fol
the destruction of large taber'
nacle built at a cost of over two
thousand dollars in which unior
meeting was being conducted by
seventeen Protestant churches o1
that city, as is told in the article
above.
This incident seems to give
a victory to the saloonists

What sort OF an inaugural ball
will usher into Office Governor Elect

ion is that ball Will be held, that,
1t Will be Il large one, and that the

bers of the state committee, including
