How Must | Vote?
For the CAROLINA WATCHMAN,

How Must | Vote?
For the CAROLINA WArcHMAN.
The 2Oth of May is rapidly ap-
preaching, and there are different
opinions as to how we shall vote
at that time on the pending is
sues.
Some say it ls a political ques-
ton and some say it is not; some
say our liberties are about to be
taken from US, and some say our
liberties to do right shall not be
taken away; some say prohibition
will not prohibit, and some say it
will; and a great many points of
similar variances are presented by
the two contending elements.
Both sides claim that they have
the better interests of our country
in view, but claim to have different
plans in vie to that end. There
is no doubt but there is something
of Importance before the people,
or there would not be 80 much
said about it. And now the ques-
tion comes up, "How must I vote
on such an important subject?"
We are shortslghted beings, and
are often in error because we de-
pend too much upon our own
wisdom; but here We should
be honest; and if 80, I can tell
you how to vo vote, how to be on
the right side and how to vote
right. My directions follow:
If any of you lacketh wisdom,
let him ask of Cox, who giveth to
all LITERALLY and upbraideth
not; and it SHALL be given him.
1:5. Remember that
the best interests of cur country is
to be, and should be the
object in view. Then let every
one go to God in earnest prayer
for wisdom to decide this impor-
tant question; throw away all
prejudice and fault finding; be
honest in the sight of God and
man think of the difference of
crime where prohibition is not,
where it is; think of the broken
hearted mothers, the orphan, des-
titute and uneducated children
which are the results of, or out
growth of the selfish greed of the
dlstiller and bar keeper; remsm-
ber that it takes about one of our
boys out of every five to feed these
men and fill the drunkard's
graves. Take all these things
into serious consideration, yes
every thing, favorable and unfa-
vorable then take God with you
to the polls, and if He tells your
honest and unseared conscience
that the manufacture and sale of
Intoxicating liquors are for the
better advancement Of our country
of Gods glory then 1 say, vote
wet.
But before voting, take the
other side, and with the same
things before you, and the same
end in view, and with the same
honest and unbiased conscience,
take God with you to the polls,
and if He tells you that the MAI
ufacture and sale of Intoxicating
liquors in North Carolina do our
country more harm than good,
then vote for prohibition,
Remember that this is a ques-
ton not to squibble over, but one
between us and our God, and for
which we will have to give &C.
count. for VIZ must give an &C.
count for every deed done in the
body, therefore we had better set
tie this as I have said, as in the
sight of God. When you go to the
polls, remember that Thou God
seest me. R. L. Brown.

THAT AUTHORIZATION MEETING,
Nothing Said About the Keg of Seer. SIS
900, 900 to be Sent Out Of the State.

600, 900 to be Sent Out Of the State.
Dunn's Mountain, April 90
The land at this time is in fine
condition for farm work. Some
are through planting oorn and are
preparing for cotton.
W. attended an anti-prohibi-
tion meeting Friday night al
Tippett-town in the old Alliance
hall. There we're q good many
present, considering, and strong
points presented for that side.
Of course we don't propose to fall
out with our neighbor because he
thinks and votes different from
what we do. He has as much
right to his opinion as we have.
But with all that in view, we can't
believe that what is predicted by
the anti-side will ever come to
pass. There are good men on
both sides and they are, we sup
pose, honest IN their opinions.
One of the speakers said thatE$15,-
O0O, 900 per year would be sent
out of the state for whiskey if
prohibition succeeds. 1t seems to
us that prohibition is and will be
Just what we make it. This gen.
tleman stated his business in
Georgia was very encouraging
even under prohibition, and that
some of the leaders who had a
good deal to do with making the
state a drysone, were among his
customers. This is the point we
offer: Is not prohibition what the
people make it? These gentle
men did not urge any to vote wet
but told all present to think over
Their matter and vote right. We
trust every one will do this.
If SIS, 900, 900 is to be sent out
of the State annually under pro-
hibition, how much more is vast
ed now in damning men and
paralizing the States industries
and destroying homes and the
happiness of our people. II so
much whiskey will be used
then why do these whiskey
dealers object to prohibition?
Simply because they know it will
reduce the sale of their goods.
The speakers was just simply
spouting hot air.-ED. WATCH
MAN.
All the members of No. 1875 are
requested to be present at the next
meeting, as the election of new
officers will take place and other
very important business is to be
transacted. It Is urged by the
present officers that all turn out
to the next meeting which will be
Saturday evening, May I'd, at 8
p. m. 1t will be a pleasure to thu
members to welcome those who
do not come out to a meeting but
once a year or less. Come out
brothers and see what has been
done since you last attended a
meeting. There has been some
new resolutions passed and spread
upon the minutes that will inter-
est you, and possibly surprise
soma. But things are going to be
carried out as per the laws.
Don't fail to come brothers and
help keep things moving and
