ing some observations al Eai;e!d.
certainly agree with him in con
graduating the good people OF or SIS

good paved streets, and q town Off
ccr who looks like the real thing.
However, | Go not quite agree with
on: friend i'll thinking we should
come together and issue bonds If
necessary to get our town officer q
Uniform. Fer really l do not see
much need Of having a day officer Of
this kind in Scotland Neck. We
have a dry town and we do not have
much use for a town lock up. I be-
ieve I will suggest that it may be
rented out. 1t will make a good ice
house for the summer and q good
potato bin for the winter.
Now, so far as the evil doors are
concerned which are likely to call for
the work of a day police, that is get
ting to be thing of the past in
Scotland Neck. OF course its neces-
sary to have some one to collect
town taxes and look after the streets,
wells, etc. and | do believe that we
should have a good night Waterman
as safe guard for the best interest
of the town.

As TO PROHIBITION.
For twenty years this pape

For twenty years this paper
has we'll kept the subject Of
temperance before it's reafcrs.
Il has not posed a. the organ
q any cause or any person, but
has advocated what il thought
the best interests Of the people
Of North Carolina. ia politics
it has been Democratic, aud
has unvacingiy supported the
Democratic party.
We have not tried to coerce
any one in any way in the
cause Of temperance, but have
spoken out clearly and unhesi-
tatingly our opinion on the
subject. Indeed, we do not
feel immodest in claiming to
have printed more temperance
literature during the past
twenty years than any other
weekly paper in the State, ex-
cept the North Carolina Bap-
fist, and as its life was not
twenty years long, we believe
we have measured up with it
also.
We have not filled our col
ums with temperance itera-
ture, for we have not thought
it best to seem fanatical; but
we have given almost constant
warning of some kind against
the evils Of strong drink and
the liquor traffic.
What we have been wishing
and asking for is about to be
realized, namely; that the
people of North Carolina be al
| lowed to vote On the question
of prohibition, apart from any
and all other questions. That
privilege is to be granted the
! people Of the State on May IS:
and we believe the results of
this election are to be fraught
with interests far and away
more important than have
passed under the ballot-poweI
in may year.
IN fashion We have given
the subject a study which
Blackstone calls rieiati ken
bratioues, witt, TIE resulting
conclusion that prohibition, az
provided for in d bill hy thc
extra session Of the Legislature
Of North Carolina, viii brin &
TO this State q great blessing,
We believe tho State will
quicken its speed Of prosperity
under such q law and that the
people Of the State viii reaI;ze
It's benefits soon after 1t goes
in.o effect.
! Therefore, we urge every
! voter iii the State who desires
to promote his own best inter
est and that OF his family anG
his fellow citizens generally
to vote for prohibition on May
