The whiskey forces have been
sending out circulars and display
ing posters with car headlines
entitled: "Faots." Their argu-
ments may catch some poor igno-
rant people and induce them to
cast a vote against their best in
terests. So let's see how it is
Well, you know, when a merchant
buys a box of shoes for retail, he
first puts down the factory cost
per pair, he adds to this the
freight, the jobber's profit, the
drayage, rent. clerk-hire, etc.,
and finally his profit. If you buy
these shoes you pay your part of
every item that is added to them.
You do, you know you do, or else
the merchant would soon be COM
PEELED to 60 out of business The
same thing holds good when you
buy a drink of liquor, or liquor in
any quantity. You pay for the
corn, you pay to have it ground,
you pay to have it distilled, you
pay to have it rectifed, you pay
for the barrel, key, jug, or bottle
in which it is placed, you pay for
the government stamp on it, you
pay for the revenue officer who
stands with his back turned while
the dlstiller steals out an extra
lot of corn and makes a lot of
blockade, you pay the license tax,
you pay the freight and drayage,
you pay the rent, clerk hire, you
pay the distiller's and saloon
keepers fines when they are
caught defrauding the govern
ment, and you pay him such a
handsome profit beside that he can
buy the most valuable property in
the county, lives better, dresses his
family better and has more lux
uries than you "a ever hope to
obtain in any honest business.
The distiller and saloon keeper
pays absolutely nothing, he is a
parasite upon the community, he
is sucking your blood and merely
takes your money to pay his bills.
And what do yon get? You get
a mixture of water, alcohol, TO-
bacco juice and concentrated lye,
which you take for your stomach's
sake. Poor stomach After dos
ing it on such stuff for a few years
it will look like a badly worn dish
rag and you will be trying to find

The brewers and distillers of

derfully solicitous about the re-
ligion and good morals Of the peo-

now giving advice to the preach

The Atlanta Constitution that
fought prohibition last summer
said of when it went into effect:
"It was a transformed Decatur
Street which Atlanta saw yester-
day afternoon and last night.
The exchange was not SO apparent
in the matter of the number of
who were on the streets, but it
was found in the fact that it was
a sober people. intent on business
and legitimate amusement, who
walked up and down this busy
thoroughfare. Not a single per
son, white or negro, was seen un.
der the influence of intoxicants."

Probably the greatest question
that has come before the people
of North Carolina for considera-
tion since the great war is now
being freely discussed by all
classes and conditions of our citi-
zenship, from the drunken sot to
the most able statesmen and most
devout servants of the King of
kings. Its consideration, as we'll
as it's proper disposition, is a mat
ter OF great concern to every one,
especially the rising generation.
It is a great question, and, like
all great questions it has two sides
60 it, a right and a wrong side, the
one Icing as far from the other as
the east is from the west, and with
as great a distinction n their con-
ditions as there is between heaven
and hell. It merits the deepest,
most earnest and prayerful con-
sideration of every one, regardless
Of the view he may take of the
matter. We believe a majority of
VI people wish to do that which
ls right. We believe that intelli-
gent beings will be governed by
wise council and high motives
and the consistent, conscientious
man will diligently seek after the
truth and is willing to be con-
WINGED upon being shown the real
status of the contending facts.
Men who think, men who see
clearly, and men who are govern
by what their Investigations con-
vince them of, are the men who
rule the world, and should be
heard when they speak. In this
issue Of The WATERMAN may be
found quite a number of commu-
nications from ministers and
other good men. Men who have
spent many long years struggling
against the DEVILS minions, men
who, by long experience, have
learned the enemy's strongest
allies, who know the source of the
church's fercest opposition and
its most loathsome affection.
They speak in nc uncertain terms,
they speak to you. We consider
their words to be frought with so
much that vitality concerns every
reader of this paper, and, as this
is our last issue before the great
struggle ends, that we have cheer
fully given most Of our space up
to them in order that they might
give to those who are honestly and
earnestly seeking the light, the
benefit of years of experience in
the Masters service, obtained on
the watch-towers, in the thick Of
IKE fight and on the firing line.
All good people will read these
exhortations and be governed &C
cordingly. Of course there are
men who have ears, but do not
hear, eyes and do not see. It is
needless to invite them to read
anything. Their ignorance, how
ever, on this subject, or any sub
ject, for that matter, will not ex-
cuse them. Information is too
cheap for a man to be a pop-skull
ignoramus.

A Tribute to prince"

Mr.. Editor: When that ter
rible fire was raging Saturday
night, February 22nd, it was sad
news that was borne that old
"Prince," the horse driven by
Mr.. w. T. Gregory's family, had
perished in the flames.
And now, Mr.. Editor, if it be
not too late, l would like a few
lines in your paper to pay my
last tribute to "Prince."
1t was with pleasure that every
one looked at beautiful, graceful
Prince. Town people loved Prince
as we'll as did the Gregory
family. We all admired his
grandeur and little did we real.
ize that he would come to such
a horrible death rs be did on that
awful night. Now poor Prince
is gone. We shall see him no
more and we have sad hearts
when we think how he perished
Oh! tits too sad to realize.
No wonder he was called
"Prince," but he should have
been named "King", for he was
king among horses.
Farewell, Prince | To his mas
ters and mistresses who mourn
his loss we extend our heart full
of sympathy.

surnes Jurisdiction--State's
Rights Involved.
Asheville, N. g., Feb. 90
Deciding that his court would
take jurisdiction and inquire in
to the merits of the claims OF
many liquor houses against the
South Carolina dispensary board
and continuing until Saturday
argument on the question of APP
pointing a receiver for the $780,
900 fund left by the late dispen-
sary, and now in the hand of a
State Commission, or the State,
Judge Pritchard to-day rendered
an opinion which lays down a
broad principle of importance
and wide scope.
The opinion of the judge ap-
pears to decide that when q
State engages in the whiskey
business or other business not
necessary to preserve it's autono-
my or sovereignty it valves it's
rights under the 18th amend
ment to the constitution of the
United States not to be sued
without it's consent, and he
further decides that it would be
unjust to permit the state under
any circumstances to avoid the
payments of debts contracted for
goods on which it has made a
profit. A decision so broad in
enunciation of principles SEEM
ed hardly to have been expected
by counsel in the case, and it
will carry to the supreme court
an issue which may serve to de-
eide once for all the rights of
the States under the constitution.
