A Lost Dime,

A man one day called upon the first
John Jacob Aston with a business
proposition which demanded an in
vestment of 100000 on his part. While
listening to the plan he kept cropping
and feeling about on the floor for
something he seemed to have dropped.
When the plan had been explained he
said readily: call right I'll furnish
the money" At that instant a man
entered to tell him that one Of his
buildings had burned down
"That happens nearly every day"
he said, with the utmost unconcern,
and went on feeling about with great
care for that something on the carpet.
Finally the visitor was curious enough
to inquire what he had dropped.
IT dropped dime here a moment
ago." he replied, "and I can't find It
If mans buildings burn down they
are gone, and he can't help it, but a
man who deliberately throws away 10
cents because he won't take the trou-
BILE to look for 1t is not to be forgiven
The more you think over it the more
you will see the good sense in that
piece Of philosophy.

SALISBURY, N. c., JUNE 81, 1908.
FROM GOLD HILL.
Mr.. EDITOR:

And now we look the other way
for awhile with gratitude and
pleasure. The election is over
and we are rejoicing over the
splendid victory that has crowned
our efforts. II Is bette. than
most people expected, but not
more SO than some predicted. 1t
is about what l have been writing
for and claiming all the while.
When everybody, or as good as
everybody, was for us. | could
not see it possible to be otherwise.
A majority Of $4,000! 'Rah for
North Carolina and prohibition.
The day was a bright one, but
warm. The election passed off
quietly with no disturbance. The
interest was intense on both sides,
bnt there were very few on the
anti side. There were but two
citizens who worked on that side,
and one of them is interested in
some of your saloons in Salisbury,
but they accomplished very little.
The Anti-Saloon League of Gold
Hill had a grand rally and enter
tainment on Monday night, got
ten up mainly by J. M. Proctor,
at which there was music by the
Rockwell band, Rotations and
songs and splendid speeches by W.
B. Smoot, of your town, and R.
D. Coleman, of Gold Hill. Their
talk was simple an impressive,
their argument clear and convinc-
ing. The gathering was large and
upon the whole the meeting did
much good for the cause.
On Tuesday morning everybody
was ready and eager for the battle
of ballots. A very little after
sunrise the writer cast the first
vote for prohibition at Gold Hill
precinct and the voting proceeded
rather slowly, but orderly all day
There we're quite a number of the
girls and young ladies of the town
about the polls who in a quiet or
derby way did good service by
their presence, the distribution of
tickets and soliciting votes. At
shutdown when the ballots were
counted out it was found that IS
votes had been cast for prohibit
ton and 21-16 whites and {
blacks-had been cast against it.
In Morgan township 218 votes
were cast, III for prohibition and
107 against it. The two town
ships in 1881 gave only II votes
for prohibition. In this election
they gave about $50 for 1t. The
wetness of Salisbury made it
somewhat damp on the river side
Of Morgan township, and the drys
and vets were we'll nigh on an
equipoise. But well done for
Gold Hill and Morgan township,
especially Gold Hill.
It seems in this election that
the manufacture and sale of liquor
ticket did not ''sweep the rural
districts ;" that the farmers did
not take the place of the negro
and deliver the goods; or rather
that they made the delivery at
the other depot as hardly any
farmers at this precinct voted the
wet ticket. J. W.

Collier laughed.
1T was that sort of spirit he said

Yes. said Captain Tuggles, and it's
this sort of spirit that's goin' to make

Il wouldn't have 'em in my ship

a thousand pounds. Women are all
