ST.. LUKE'S.

March 30.-Farmers are busy
preparing their lands for planting.
Geo. D. Peeler has had a very
sick child, and David Lyerly also,
but we are glad to note that they
are both improved. Pneumonia
is the cause of illness in both
cases.
R. M. Peeler, who has been
travelling in various parts of the
United States with his carnival,
is visiting home people in this
community.
Wheat and oats were hurt some
by the snow but are looking bet
ter at present.
David Lyerly lost a fine pig last
week, by sickness of some kind.
Prohibition is still gaining
ground and we think by the Goth
of May that everything will be on
a solid footing.
A question to the enti-prohibi-
tionists: If you knew that you
we're going to die the 9th of May,
how many of you would vote
against prohibition? Good peo-
pie, we beg you to lay aside all
selfish motives and spend a mo-
ment in serious meditation. The
man who votes against prohibl-
tlon has many things to think
about before he casts that fatal
vote, if he will only look on the
right side of the question. We
wonder how many of the good
farmers of Rowan county, or of
North Carolina, would buy a ma
chine for their farm that would
pillow out all of the corn or cotton
and cultivate the weeds and grass;
SO, how can you 60 to the election
and vote for a measure that will
root out all of the good things and
cultivate the thorns and thistles
of vice? Will you vote for a
measure that will tear down the
good and build up the bad? for a
measure that will drag down our
young people, the flower of the
land, and leave only the thorny
old rose bush, which is fit for
nothing but to prick everything
that comes in contact with it?
Think before you act.
And so if we get prohibition,
it will ruin the schools of Rowan
county? If the schools of Sails
bury, and of Rowan county, are
run upon a basis as low down as
the liquor traffic, and can't be
III on any other, we had better
nail the doors shut and 60 out of
business. The very idea of it be-
ing impressed on the minds of our
dear little boys and girls, that
their education must come through
the open saloon or the making of
liquor, is the most d1abolical thing
that can be conceived! Good peo-
pie, don't let them pull the wool
over your eyes on that point.
Look at Charlotte, Greensboro,
Concord, Lexington, and we could
mention many other of our sister
towns, that have schools equal,
and some superior, to Salisbury
and Rowan county, land they
would have better schools yet if
Salisbury would go dry They
are all dry towns. Some excuse
is better than none, however poor
it may be. The liquor men all
say that if Salisbury goes dry it
won't hurt them, that they will
put up large drug stores and run
"blind tigers" If it won't hurt
them why in the world are they
fighting it SO hard?
Gene on, Bro. Xerxes, and
help make the campaign warm.

Judge Emmett Seawell, past exalted

the wearing of the elk tooth by

responsible.

IN HARNESS
Buckting on 4rm-
or for thinning
in Uhite Pine

Both Republican and Democratic
party workers were dormant until
in the last few days. The Democrats
are still SO. the word to perform not
having yet been passed out by the
slate makers. Governor Dickerson
was expected by those In his faction
to make some sort of decision and
set the wheels moving Immediately
upon his arrival in town, but the
governor is understood to have
struck several snags in the situation
and has not yet got things in shape
to crack the whip and start his per
formers in the saw dust ring. Mean
time there is dismay In the ranks of
the Democracy and growing petu
lence about things generally. 1t Is
far from happy family and when
ever the governors slate Is announc
ed ii is promised that there will be
scratching and biting in plenty in
the back yard between the opposing
factions. That which is aligned
against the governor and his friends
has some tobasco boys in it's ranks
who are guaranteeing in advance that
they will make things lively and ex
Ipect to acpture the entire circus be
fore they are through.
Whether or not the Democratic
prelude of Snarls has had anything
to do with awakening the Republican
hosts to action Is question. At any
rate they are on deck and every day
is finding increased interest and in
creasing expressions all through the
district of belief that the party can
carry the county this fall with hands
down. Figures are coming out on
probable registration and probable
vote that make 1t look very decidedly
as If old White Pine would join most
all of the rest of the state this fall
in making clean sweep for the
straight ticket which will have Taft
at the head.
Republicans of the district In the
last few days have come awake with
the sort of enthusiasm that will later
on in the campaign send the cold
chills chasing dow nthe spine of the
opposition. One result of the awak-
ening has been determination to
get working organizations In the
field throughout the county, and to
this end number of Republican
clubs are to be organized at once.
Saturday night there will probably
be a meeting of Republicans from
throughout the district and not
few from the county at large in Ely
for the purpose of forming a general
organization . for the county. This
will include membership from vari
Gus localities, according to plans dis
cussed yesterday. and will not inter-
fere with Republican clubs which will
