Governor Glenn on Personal Liberty,

you whiskey men assert that
if you choose you could easily give
up this privilege; then, if that is
30, as you know thousands of weak
men cannot break from this curse
that is destroying their homes and
their lives and disslpatlng every
blessing, why won't you give up
this thing that is called your lib
erty to saw others from ruin, thus
practicing your Masters COM
mandment to love your n~eighbor
as yourself and help those that are
weaker than you? If you have
gone so .cfar that the habit has
grown so strong On you that you
cannot give it up, don't you think
it high time that this liberty be
taken away in order that you may
be saved?
"They say that prohibition will
take away your liberty. Liberty
to do what? Liberty to get drunk,
to neglect aad desert your fami-
lies, to take provisions away from
those dependent upon you. We
are not trying to take your liberty
away. The true rule for liberty
Is that nothing shall be taken g.
way from an individual that is
helpful to himself, his family aud
society. But if the business or
the practice in which a person is
engaged is evil instead of good,
and Injuries others as we'll as him
self, and that person has not force
of character sufficient to desist
from practicing it himself, then il
becomes the duty of the State to
taxa away from him that which
Is acurse to himself and to others.
For this reaso the State prohi-
bits the carrying of concealed
weapons; prohibits gambling;
prohibits the buying of morphine
and poisons, because in the doing
of these things a nan would not
only injure himself but would in
jurs others. The State has a
right to grant the privilege to per.
sons to sell liquor and the State
has the same right to take away
this privilege. when it sees that
the sale of whiskey is cursing its
citizens, and in so doing the State
Is protecting the liberty Of it's
citizens, not taking their liberty
away"

Governor Thomas ], Jarvis.

When we stop to think over the
great men that North Carolina has
produced, the name of Governor
Thos. J. Jarvis ranks among the
wisest and ablest of them all.
There has never been a critical
period in our history but that bis
advice has been sought for and his
wise counsel accepted. Governor
Jarvis has been a remarkable man.
In the Legislative halls, in the
United States Senate and at the
bar his career has been corwned
with triumphant success. As
Governor of the State he was all
that the State could wish for, as a
private citizen he has been even
more useful. From his home at
Greenvllle he still sends messages
of warning to his people and the
people hear them gladly. The
State has been blessed by his long
life and may his golden last days
be without pain, and full of SUM-
shine and cheer to the last hour
when the sands in the hour glass
refuse to flow any longer. Our
State has been better and greater
because Governor Jarvis has lived.

THEY DON'T OPEN WITH PRAYER,
And They Don't Hold Meetings in Churches
Nor on SUNDAYS, and WHY,

We Q in IRE WATcHMAs, OF
April 22nd, that Old Foggy and
his crowd banters the anti-saloon
fellows for a debate on the liquor
question. Now read what he
says: I'VE will meet you at any
time you choose, Sunday excepted,
and any where; church excepted
Isn't this a frank admission of a
guilty conscience. Old Foggy's
conscience emphatically tells him
that it is not appropriate to meet
on the Sabbath day for the pur,
pose of upholding the saloons and
their evil effects, and Old Foggy's
conscience doubtless tells him IN
laundering tones that the house
of God, where the name of
Jesus should be most honored
is not the place to meet and
dispute with Gods people by talk
ing in favor of the DEVILS great
est workshop, the saloon. No,
the saloon advocates would no
more think of taking the liquor
quest m in the house of God, for
argument in favor of the saloon
and it's attendant great evils, than
the negro would expect to sit at a
prominent white mans table and
eat a meal with him. No, We
would advise the good people of
Old Foggy's community, 1--WE
mean the prohibition peoplr) not
to meet with the saloon patrols
anywhere for the purpose of argu-
ing a question which has already
been settled a long time ago by
the blessed Master, in whose ser
vice you have enlisted. If you
like rotton liquor and are easily
tempted, try not to meet them on
any occasion. Well, I guess I
need not tell you to stay away
from their public meetings, if
they have ever had one we have
not heard of it. If they ever do
have one we wonder if they can
get a minister Of the gospel to
pray for their success. Guess
not. W. never heard of a minis
ter of the gospel praying for more
saloons. Those who expect to
vote for prohibition do not find
themselves a in very foggy posi-

If you must be in this procession Of whisky, if you

the carriage or the buggy, we have nothing to say.
That is a matter for your conscience and inclination.
But if your place in the whisky procession is with

Get out of that procession. The longer you stay
in it the farther you will drop toward the end.
Sooner or later you will have to get out of it. It

The Lovely Hen.

(By Judd Mortimer Lewis.)
Pm for the hen, the lowly hen;
She lays an egg to-day and then
Tomorrow goes about her biz
And where her nest of rubbish
Lays us another. Cluck on cluck.
Day after day with endless pluck;
Happy if in solitude
She may at last hatch out a brood
Of fluffy chicks with yellow,
To become hens and lay more
eggs.
She knows no holidays at all
Nor Sundays. At the clarion call
Of Mr.. Rooster, with a lurch,
She lunges down from off her
perch,
And, once upon a footing firm,
She goes to hunt the early worm.
She takes a worm, a piece of grit.
A bug, and makes an egg of it
That will pass muster until met
In scramble, fry, or omelet.
And does she rest with one egg
laid,
And lounge aroun' beneath the
shade
Of some tall tree? Not much! not
she!
She scorns the shade of fence
an tree
And across shaded bits and sun
She keeps the bug world on the
run,
And scratches with her toil-worn
feet
Barnyard and garden, land an
street
An with her bill doth search an
poke
The stuff for albumen and yolk
Egg after egg, day after day,
In unobtrusive, cheerful way,
And, when her laying life is
done,
She lounges not is shade or sun,
But with a rush that rest doth
mock
She lays her head upon the
block,
And the piece de resistance of
Some clearinghouse feast,
shows hen love
For humankind in death. Brave
hen!
for ROSTERS and men!

off my farm. j. N. MurreL

means a scarcity of the right
