To the Commander and members
of Watt Bryson Camp:

Your committee are again called
upon to record the crossing of the
cold stream of death by another
comrade. In February, 1908,
Wesley M. Justus, so long and we'll
known in Hendersonville, died and
was buried, age 70 years.
He had long been in business in
Hendersonville, and was recog-
nized as among our best and safest
business men and of unquestioned
integrity, measuring up to the
high standard of former days,
when mems confidence III each
other was we'll founded.
He served the Southern cause in
the sixties as a mechanic in an
armory.
He was twice married, was a
widower at the time of his death.
Thus our county and town have
lost forever another of their old
land marks.
Your committee recommend the
reading and publication of this
report. S. V. PICKENs, Chm.

Prohibition.

Dear Editor-will you please print il
vonr paper a few lines from an orphan
girl on the great subject of prohibition
l would like to say to the young meI
OF North carolina, not to let the pre-.
cious opportunity of voting the whis.
key out of North carolina pass withou'
voting a dry ticket. Dear young men J
plead with you go like gentlemen should
and vote for a prohibition law, and vol
shall be rewarded at the judgement
day.
1t has caused the death of many q
person. Young men first think of the
many unhappy homes all caused by the
filthy substance called whiskey
The first time you walk into a bar
room that means "Death" for the first
dram calls for another and on and on,
until the first thing you know the young
mar is lying around the corners of the
streets with red eyes, worn out clothes
and his wife and children at home
starving and crying for papa to come
home. Oh! where is he.
Young men how can you bear the
thought of a home like this. l am plead
ing with the young men because the
older ones shall pass away and the
young ones must fill their places.
In conclusion l will say to the young
girls to talk and plead with the young
men OF your settlement to vote the pro-
hibltion ticket. If you are c%orrespon-
ding with a young man and he don't
vote a dry ticket let him alone for you
will never be happy with him until the
day comes to vote. My prayers shall be
that a prohibition law shall reign
throughout North carolina.

CONVENTION
IN ASHEVILLE
Sweeping Victory for
Mr.. Craig Predicted
From All Sections.

The congressional convention of the
tenth district will be held in Asheville
June %. The congressional executive
committee of this district met at the
Berkeley hotel last evening aud fixed
the time and place of meeting.
Five counties of this district were re-
presented as follows: Haywood, w. T.
Lee, chairman Of the committee; Hen
derson, NJ. L. Shipman; Rutherford,
]. G. Mills uncombe, Charles A. Webb;
Polk. J.. C. Fisher. Other counties OF
the district were represented by proxy.
Mr.. Webb acted as proxy for Mr.. Kerr,
member of the committe from this
county.
The meeting was called to order by
Chairman Lee and Mr.. Shipman was
elected secretary. DR.. Sewer, chair
man of the Buncombe comfy executive
committee, representing the city of
Asheville, urged that the convention be
held here. Mr.. Webb also made a
speech urging that the convention meet
here. Upon motion of ]. G. Mills, Sc
conded by J. G. Fisher, Asheville was
selected as the place to hold the con-
Yention.
Mr.. Shipman made a motion that the
convention be held at such time as
would allow delegates of the western
part of the state to go from the district
to the state convention without having
to return home between meetings. Up
on this suggestion Mr.. Mills moved
that the convention meet at 4 p, M,
June %, which was adopted by the COM
mite. The chairman was authorized
to issue a call to that effect.
Favorable conditions for democracy
we're reported from all sections of the.
district and a sweeping victory pre-
dicted. The chances of Locke Craig
were discussed, and it was the unan-
mouse opinion of the committeeman
that the tenth district will go solid for

choice of his section.-Citizen
