Miss Kate Hewlett, formerly
employed in q telephone ex-
change at Wilmington, gave
birth Monday to a male child and
this was found Tuesday buried
in the outskirts Of Wilmington.
Fred Walton, a young hardware
clerk, was arrested in connection
with the case and admits the
paternity and having buried the
child, but says it was dead
when he first saw it. Walton
has been locked up and the
girl, who occupied a room over a
sj0re, has been sent to a hospitital
A c0roner's jury which investigat-
ed the case returned a verdict that
the chlld came to it's death as the
result Of ignorance or carelessness
on the part Of the mother and
that the birth Of the child was
concealed and it was secretly
buried by the father and mother
and a negress, Julia Balwin. and
all three are held on that charge

why am | a prohibitionist?
Not to take any right away from

It is not to find out whether

but whether you want it sold
You talk Of personal liberty
Ihe retort is that when you force
a barroom on me you take away
my liberty. | am not voting for
you; | am voting for myself.
What does prohibition mean?
1t means g people calmly, judic-
lously sacrificing their appetite
upon the altar Of their children's
upliit. This people like IiQuor-I
will say We like liquor. Suppose
We do. That is the test. It

up something We didn't want.
1t would not be worth anything,

How does a people become great?
BY gratifying their passions and
appetites? Nay, but by sacrific-
ing them.
Point out the boys who are
going to make this a great, a
strong people, and you will see
them willing to forego their
appetites and there passions for
the privilege Of enjoying the
glory of tomorrow. AS with that

girls, as with them the State.

Gentlemen Of the Lumbarton
Improvement Co., what would
you think if you were to go to a
good, thriving tOwn-a town like
Lumberton, say-and find one Of
the leading hotels Of the place
not equipped with screen win
dOWs and doors and you were tor
mented all the time during your
stay at the hotel by flies? When
you have answered that question,
read a little further and know
that you are the men. The Wa
verify is a hotel of which the town
may well be proud, well conduct
ed, and the building is all right,
and it would take so little to equip
1t with screens, which would add
in untold measure to its comfort.
AS it is, it is necessary to spread
unsightly fly-paper all about, but
What good does that do, pray,
when unscreened windows and
doors extend a cordial welcome
to every fly that is seeking some
one to torment? If you will
screen the hotel properly many
q man who stops at the Waverly
will form a much better impress
sion Of the town and will rise up
and call you blessed. And now is
tine to do to-day.

WHAT'S YOUR ANSWER?

WHAT'S YOUR ANSWER? I.
One week from tomorrow you
will have the opportunity to say
by your vote whether or not you
favor prohibition for the State
of North Carolina. What are
you going to do about it? What .
is the answer? Listen, neigh
Dor: Look through the tangled
maze Of the arguments for and
against that may. perhaps, be-
wilder, and listen to the still,
small voice in your own heart.
We are not preaching: we are
simply talking about this matter
in a plain. everyday, laundering
sort of way. Honestly, now, if
you knew that this vote was the
last one you would ever cast; if
you started out next Tuesday
morning to order your life for
one day absolutely as you would
order it if you knew it to be
your last day on earth, would
you, honestly, would you vote for
the manufacture and sale of in
toXicating liquors in North Car
DINA? That's all there is to it,
after all. They talk about local
government, legislating morals
into people, personal liberty, etc,
but, after all, it is simply a ques-
ton Of whether you vote to man
ufacture and sell liquor or not.
What does whiskey, the thought
Of Whiskey, bring to your mind?
Does it make you think Of all that
is pure, and sweet and ennobling
and wholesome? Of all that up
lifts and makes men want to
build more stately mansions for
their souls? of a sober, industri-
Gus people, of a happy, prosper
Gus land, where education goes
hand in hand with thrift and
earnest effort? Does it make
you think of happy homes. of
bright-faced, eager children? Not
so. Rather does it make you
think of squalor, of misery, of
unrest. 1t makes you think OF
lean-breasted, weary women,
with white lips cold and dumb
who wait the watches Of the
night anxious, yet fearing, t
hear the step Of drunken hus
band and father; it makes yol
think of pOvery, Of crime, Of ig-
norance, of vice.
Personal liberty? Have yol
got the right to commit suicide
What more right have you got t.
tear down everything in your life
that is worth while and brin2
yourself to the level of brute
with apologies to the brute
lower still? And if your neigh
Dor wanted to kill himself an(
you could prevent it, wOuldn'
you do it, without stopping K
; consider about interfering will
his rights? It was writer
: long ago that no man lives t.
himself. No more does d com
munity. If the fool stuff is sol,
anywhere in the State it is goin&
to affect Robson, and even if i
did not, you know that prohibi
ton is good for Robson, and thu
statement that if it is good fcl
Robson it is good fer the
State needs no demonstrators.
Are you for or against tht
manufacture and sale of whiskey
in North Carolina? Never mine

will answer one week from to
morrow. What is your answer.
