eral weeks ago the young girl con-

" severe attack, having been con-
fined to her bed ever since. For
several days she had been despon-

bed room and found her lying across
the bed in q pool Of blood, o pistol in
her right hand, showing the fact Of
suicide. The pistol had been placed
under the right jaw and the ball had
lodged in the base ofthe brain, death
being almost instantly.
It is supposed that becoming ur-
able to resist the depression, the
child's reason was affected and that
when her mother left the room she
saw the pistol lying on the mantel,
seized it and shot herself. Neigh
bors heard the pistol and ran al
once to render assistance. DR.. W.

child was dead before he reached

Why, Certainly he Will.
(Snow Hill Laconic-Standard.)


Some time ago a cranky sort of an
old man came into this Office and
stopped his paper because something
in it did not just suit his fancy. We
have frequently met him on the
street since and it is amusing to note
the look of surprise on that old fell
lows face that we are still in exist
ence regardless Of the fact that he
stopped his paper. Some day-and
it won't be long either-that old gen
tleman will turn up his toes. Neigh
bors and friends will follow his life
less clay to the silent city over the
hill and lay them to rest among the
flowers. An obituary will be publish
ed in these columns telling what a
good neighber and beloved citizen he
was-which the recording angel will
overlook for charity's sake, and in q
very short time he will be forgotten.
/ AS he lies out there in the cold, cold
ground, wrapped in the silent slum-
Der of death, he will never know
that the last kind word spoken OF
him was by the editor Of that paper
which in life he so spitefully "stop-
ped" Did you ever pause, reader,
lust for a moment and think that
the editor Of your paper, whoever
he may be, will write your obituary
some day?

UI.-TT IS EAR.

We are sure when you have studi-
ed this law you will agree with US
that it is fair.
Under this law, Greensboro's vot-
ing wet would not make it wet, and
Salis5ury's voting dry would not
make it dry. Under local option
Greensboro has voted dry, and as a
locality she must remain so until the
locality as such votes wet, while
Salisbury has voted the other way.
This vote on "the manufacture and
sale Of Intoxicating liquors in North
Carolina is quite a different thing
from local option.
Again, this law is right. For the
influence of liquor is never local.
Salisbury or Wilmington citizens,
while controlling the sale Of the traf-
fc, do not control the dangerous
and damaging influence OF this traf-
fic. This influence is felt for hun
drcds Of miles around. Every citi-
zen in the State has a right to self
protection against the influence Of
this traffic, now centered at few
points, and the only way Of protec-
ton is the abolition OF the traffic
throughout the State.

The Proposed Prohibition Law.
I.-WHAT IT WILL DO.

It will abolish every licensed whis-
key and brandy distiIlery in the
State.
1t will abolish every saloon and
dispensary in the State.
1t will stop the wine traffic within
the State. For wine can be sold only
at the place of manufacture in quan-
titles Of two and one-half gallons or
more and not shipped anywhere in
the State.
It will stop the sale Of all those
chemical mixtures by whatever name
known that will produce intoxica-
ton.
It will place under the most strin-
gent and binding regulations pharm-
acists and physicians, who may
handle Intoxicating liquors for med
ical purposes only.
It will allow the officials of any
county or town to regulate or pro-
hibit the sale Of intoxicating liquors
by pharmacists IN he drug-stores.
n.-WEAT IT WILL NOT DO.
1t will not prohibit the farmer
from making cider from fruits grown
on his own land and selling the same
at home or in his market town.
1t will not stop the manufacturer
from making his wine and shipping
it outside Of the State.
1t will not stop the sale of those
medical preparations and essences
that may have alcohol in them to
preserve them Or to hold the medi-
cinal agents in solution, such as cam
phor, vanilla, etc.
It will not repeal existing prohibi-
ton laws.
1t will not prohibit the sale of wine
to ministers or church officials for
Sacramento purposes.
If this law fails to be ratified by
the people at the polls On May %,
1903, it will not affect TIE present
status Of any existing prohibition
law in the State. In other words,
the dry territory will not be chang
ed.
