For Prohibition

va a
written by request by Miriam L. schef.
What will be the issue in Henderson
county OF the twenty-sixth of Mayi
The fac; that this question can be asked
is enensh L bring blusfes to u cheeks,
for If we love our homes, il there Ia any
spark OF patriotism burning within US,
how al we hesitate in the decision of q
question so truly vital. 81 all-important
not to our comfort alone, butIo our very
safety. Without doubt to the well in
formed mind OF u man who holds honor
dear, who will rally to the right when
he sees that right, there can be but one
way to cast the vote that makes or mars
the homo.
The decision is to be made between
open saloons and prohibitions. There IL
not . point in favor of the licensed sa-
loon that cannot be successfully met and
in most instances, msde 10 support the
very thing it opposes. Those who sus-
tain high license argue that prohibition
will not prohibit, and that, therefore,
il is better to put the evil under control
and endure it than 10 endeavor to crush
Its existence. We do not argue that it
Ia possible now to entirely prevent the
use of intoxicants. Leave the confirmed
drunkard to the power Of the influence
of a Christian people, but by no means
leave the temptation before the youth
OF our land and those who are not al
ready in The clutches of evil.
Here are a few facts concerning the
profit and loss Of this traffic to our gov
eminent:
North Cardinals ninety-seven U
ties each average two distlllelies and
the government requires from each of
these from ave to nine gallons of
whiskey every day. The revenue on
each gallon is about SI.lO. The gov.
eminent pays out $500 per. day to guag-
ers for each distillery, and about $50.no
per day for revenue officers, besides
other expenses incurred by the traffic
will be readily seen that the profit
must necessarily be small.
The amount of whiskey made legally
and otherwise will furnish so, 900 drunk
ards. Granting that 10000 of these
are still supplied with blind tigers, not,
outstanding this, prohibition withholds
the supply of whiskey from 40, COO men.
bali of these men have fami-
lies, there prohibition provides means
Of support for 10000 homes. Is it profit
or loss? Can the value of 10000 sober
men be overwhelmed by a few dollars

PatTOnize Home Merchants

| wish to call the attention of
the good people of Brevard and
surrounding country to a few
things that l think need their
serious consideration. I refer to
the relations between the mer-
chant and the people; as to who
the people should patronise and
why they should do so. You
may have given the subject some
thought and you may not have
done so, but that is just what I
want you to do. And / am not
writing this because I am a mer-
chant and wish to call your att
ention to the matter on my own
account, but il is in the interest of
all the good merchants of our
town and country.
First,I want to ask the good
people who it is that pays the
taxes tosupport the public schools;
who is it that contributes of their
means to build the school houses
and support the schools? Is it
Mr.. Mail Order House, or who, or
who, for help? Just think a min
ute and see if you can make it
out. And as I see it you are
bound to acknowledge that you
go to your own home-folks. !
And that is not all-you go to
YOUR home merchant for accom-
mediation when you have no
money; and you go to him with
your produce, and for a great
many things that you don'tseem
to appreciate afterwards. And
further, as regards Mr.. Mail Order
House, he won't take your corn,
rye, potatoes, chickens, eggs, nor
nor anything but the money, and
that has to accompany the order.
He won't even wait until the
goods are delivered, but must have
it in advance. If your home mer-
chant was to tell you to give him
the money now and he would send
you the goods next week, you
would feel like knocking him
down. But that is just what Mr..
Mail Order House said to you and
you think nothing of it
And the last thing I wish to
call your attention to is the tran
sient merchant-the one who sits
up among you for a short time or
just as long as he can make it pay.
Possibly he won't stay long
enough to pay any taxes. His
family may be elsewhere, and in

Ronanarte as a peadhead.

Frederic Febvre publishes in the
Paris Gaulois an interesting docu-
ment preserved in the archives Of the
Theatre Francois. It runs as follows:
"Pass the citizen Bonaparte to this
evenings performance of 'Manilus.'-
Talma."
This shows, of course, that the EN-
peror Napoleon when he was only a
lieutenant Of artillery was very glad
of Orders for the theater. M. FebVre
adds a story which he heard from Tai
mas son to the effect that the future
ruler of France used to lie in wait for
the tragedian in the galleries Of the
Palais Royal and that the tragedian
used often to whisper to his compan-
ion: "The other way, if you don't
mind. 1 see Bonaparte coming, and
I'm afraid he'll ask me for seats"

CONGRESSMAN Crawford.

In the Sunday Post appeared
an article written by some one
who claims to understand politi-
cal conditions in North Carolina,
from a republican standpoint, as
we'll as the scope and effect of the
suffrage amendment to the con-
stitution. The author of that ar
ticle Interviewing the legal status
of the negro as a voting citizen
under said amendment, betrays
gross ignorance both as the let,
ter and spirit of the amendment.
The constitutional amendment
in question is as follows: Every
person presenting himself for re-
gistration shall be able to read
and write any section of the con-
stitution in the English language;
and before he shall be entitled to
vote he shall have paid his poll
tax for the previous year as pre-
scribed by article 5, section 1, of
the constitution"
These are the only qualifica-
tons and limitations of the right
of a negro to vote. He is not re-
quired to give any explanation
of the constitution, and the So
called grandfather clause''does
not and was never intended to
affect the right of a negro to vote.
This provision applies only to the
white man by giving him indul-
gence to register and vote. This
provision applies only to the
white man by giving him indul-
gence to register and to vote I'M
til the 1st day of December 1903.
without subjecting him to the
educational qualification. But af-
ter December 1, 1908, all per-
sons, without regard to race and
other conditions, who present
themselves for registration must
be able to read and write a Sec
ton of the constitution. The
suggestion that 80, 900 negroes
will become eligible to vote this
year who have not heretofore
been able to vote is absurd.
Only those who may come-of vot-
ing age and are able to read and
write and pay apoll tax and such
others who may have qualified
themselves in like manner since
the election of 1906, will be add
ed to the list of voters. Many
negroes in the State have never
been disturbed in their right to
vote by the amendment to the
constitution.
The fact is, very few of those
who are qualified to vote by vir-
ture of education care to pay a
poll tax to vote for the machine
made candidates of the Republi-
can party. The lilly whites
are in control of the machine and
mark my prediction, there will
not be a negro delegate in the Re
publican State convention in this
year of grace 1903. There were
only two in the convention in 1904
and they were ousted on con-
test. Every Republican in the
State, who is posted knows that
not 5, 900 negroes have voted in
any election in the State since the
constitutional amendment was adj
opted and~nobody believes that
that number will vote this year.
The candidate and his friends
who hope to be able to combine
the negro, vote with outs and
elect delegates to the national con.
vention will see their hopes and
their money, if they put it up,
evaporate like a June morning
dew. w. T. CRAWFORD.

CHANGE IN FOOD
Works Wonders in Health.

It is worth knowing that change in food can cure dyspepsia. q deem 1t my duty to let you know how Grape Nuts food has cured me of indigestion.
 "I had been troubled with it for years, until last year my doctor recom- mended Grape-Nuts food to be used every morning. I followed instruc- tions and now 1 am entirely well.
 'The whole family like Grape-Nuts, we use four packages a week. You are welcome to use this testimonial as you see fit.''
 The reason this lady was helped by the use of Grape-Nuts food, is that it is predigested by natural processes and therefore does not tax the stom- ach as the food she had been using; it also contains the eiements required for building up the nervous system. If that part of the human body is in perfect working order, there can be no dyspepsia, for nervous energy repre- sents the steam that drives the engine.
 When the nervous system is run down, the machinery of the body works badly. Grape-Nuts food can be used by small children as well as adults. It is perfectly cooked and ready for instant use.

SUMMER NATIONS FOR HENS.

For fifty hens I give one quart of wheat in the morning scattered in the litter. At II o'clock they get one quart of wheat, barley or oats. The last feed at night is two quarts cracked corn. Fresh water is given three times a day during the winter. Charcoal, grit oys- ter shell and dry cracked bone are within reach at all times. A half peck of green stuff, such as turnips, cab. bage, or beets, is given every day or two. In trough with slated front they have free access to mixture of dry ground grains. This mixture is composed of 200 pounds wheat braI and 10G pounds each of corn meal, middlings. gluten meal and beef scrap thoroughly mixed together. Our fowls are harder and we do not lose as many as when We feed meal ration as a wet mash. They mott quicker and the bullets come to laying sooner.- D. NJ Cleveland,

CO-OPERATOR cULLINGS.

Don't neglect the local newspaper. Suggest to your local editor that he ought to have a Farmers Union de- partment, or if not a special depart ment, a portion of the paper devoted to the interest of the local Union.
 No man can afford 10 make up his mind too hastily. When he does this, he is generally sorry for it.
 This country needs more farmers who believe that since the farmer makes the stuff that the people live upon, that he is entitled to the best Of it.
 Sit steady in the boat. There's two sides to every question. A sensible man will not make up his mind till both sides are heard; fool will rush in where an angel would fear to tread Let us be careful always to know what we are doing,
 Have you given that mortgage yet? If not, manage some way not to do it There is a way around it. No man can be the free and independent American citizen he should be and give mort gage on his crop from year to year Let us quit it.

DESERVED TO WIN HIS CASE.
Really Able Argument Put Forward
 by Accused Sailor.

A very good story has recently been told in the fleet of an incident which happened when Admiral Evans was ln command of the Indiana. An old-time bluejacket was at the mast before Capt. Evans, charged with getting food out of a mess chest outside Of meal hours. This getting of food for night watches is common and strong desire on the part of most men aboard ship.
 Capt. Evans asked the man what he had to say; and the man, sizing up the delicate situation, said:
 Captain, didn't take no food outer that chest. Why, captain, there weren't no food in that chest! looked in that chest, and, captain, met cockroach coming out of that chest with tears in his eyes. liar per's Weekly.
