me immediate steps which
the temperance movement has
taken in North Carolina are
nrst' the preparation of the minds
OF the people, their education to
the woes and countless evils of
hquor' its effect upon the indi-
Vldual and upon the State, de-
morailzine men and women and
running homes, There were
even lessons in life to which the
eyes of the people were directed
and only too many times the les
son was found at home, or the
home of a friend or relative, in a
blasted life, a weakened mind,
or horrible crime, or suffering,
poverty and shame, or all these
many curses. The public con-
science was awakened and in re-
spouse to the universal need the
Watts law was enacted. Two
years proved its inestimable
value, and then the Ward law
was reinforced and strengthened
and the cause of temperance
advanced by the passage of this
law, IN 1905. These laws had a
most wholesome effect. The inn
proved conditions wrought by
them caused the public mind to
form itself quickly in favor of
stamping to the death the SER
pent liquor.
By special acts of the legisla-
ture counties became dry, and
the prohibition conviction has
swept the State like tidal wave,
uprootin9 evils other than whiS-
key; and only afew places, still
flaunt the blood-Aae on Carolina
soil, outraeinG the sentiment of
a whole State, and in their con-
tigiouS territories channelin9
streams of the Liquid curse, de-
featine the object of the laws and
the will of the Great majority of
the people. These mountain
counties, rising against the heav-
ems like great aspiring watch
towers, seem nearest God, and
are as one for prohibition, hav-
ing no licensed grog-shop among
us, except the dispensary al
WayneSville.
There are not many arguments
against prohibition, and such as
they are find no utterance from
the lips of honest and intelligent
men who have only tn e
good and welfare of the people
at heart. Every vote for prohi-
bition in this election will be a
life.eiver, and as the sun graces
the morning, so do life-giving
words adOrn the char
acter of men. There can be no
better index to the character,
purposes and life of a man than
his attitude on this important,
vital question, the issue of the
election of May 10Th.

THE FIGHT is ON

State prohibition is inevitable.
1t is the natural sequence OF an
intelligent movement that has
been prosresSinga and growing IN
North Carolina for years; moral,
because strong drink is the de-
stroyer of virtues; educational,
because the evil of whiSkey must
be overthrown by our enlighten-
ed people; religious, because the
churches are united in the battle
against the bottle; and with these
mighty forces behind it, organiZ-
ed into a unit of determined OPP
position, the last vesti6e of the
liquor traffic and manufacture in
this State will be eradicated on
the 10Th of May.
The Legislature in extra ses-
sion acted wisely, in response to
the demand of the public, in call
ing a State election on the Ques-
ton of prohibition or no probihi-
ton for the 10Th of May. This
act is published in full in another
column of this paper. The tenn
perance supporters in North
Carolina, composed of thousands
of the best people of the State,
representing all classes, trades
and professions, including the
leaders of both parties, Demo-
cracy being substantially solid
for it, were joined by many whis-
key advocates in asking the Leg
islature to call the election. Sub
hitting the question, arbitra-
ment of the ballot, and only
since the legislature adjourned
has criticism been made of its
action. Now the enemies of the
movement, are denouncing the
measure and attempting to
arouse sentiment against it.
The issue is essentially a NOR
al one, and is not political, al
though it has been the good for
tune of the Democratic party to
have given the movement its
birth and to nourish it till it be-
came powerful; and it has attain
ed its great strength just in time
to crown with a glorious bless
ing the sovereign people, the
grand consumation of Demo-
cratic policies that, beginning
with the militant educational
leader in 1900, Aycock, have
been perfected to a better growth
and multiplicity of benefactions
to the State, under the. great
moral leader IN the present adj
miniStration. Prohibition is the
logical result of the educational
uplift of the people, as well as
have been the improvement in
industrial and commercial condi.
tons. Just as the words of Ay.
cock have become memorable.
SO will the message of Glenn to
the extra session, asking the
General Assembly to give the
people a State prohibition law,
become historic.
Every argument against whis-
key is trenchant and eloquent;
against prohibition is puerile.
Those who are on the side of
are allied with almost
every species of sin. Those
uphold and practise the
of prohibition have on
their side all who are interested
in the best development of the
State, the cause of the school and
he church, the farm and the
:actory, the home and the higher
life. The line of demarcation
the opposing forces re-
reals the striking contrast of day

ST. vITUS' DANCE
Proof of the Remarkable Power
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
IN This Severe Ner-
vous Disorder.

That DR.. Williams Pink Pills have
cured obstinate eases of st. yitus
dance, is the best evidence that they
viii cure all lesser nervous disorders
Here is evidence that viii stand thor
ough investigation. Mrs. James Will
kie, Of 707 Spruce street, Cherokee,
Iowa, says:
II was OF very nervous tempera-
ment even when a child AS I grew to
girlhood, more and more of the work in
our family fell to me. At the same
time tried to keep up my studies in
school. The strain was too great and at
the age of fourteen l had to leave
school, because of the rundown and
| nervous condition I was in. 1 gradually
grew worse, becoming extremely ir-
ritable and suffering terribly from
melancholy. 1t was first noticed that
had St. Vitus' dance, when l began
to lose control of the muscles of my
face. The disease soon spread ali over
my body and my head and arms seemed
| to tremble constantly.
81 was in this condition for about a
year and dwindled away to almost
nothing Finally I became so weak
that / had to stay in bed all the time.
Up to this time / had been under the
care of two doctors and as / became
no better gave up their medicine After
l had been in bed about two months,
my father heard about DR.. Williams
Pink Pills from an old friend He
bought some at once and started using
them, not expecting much benefit.
noticed very soon that the pills were
helping me and that / could sleep bet
ter. We all thought this SO wonderful
that | was encouraged TO give them a
good trial l was soon able to sleep
4 like log and my appetite became
good.
20 was sick altogether about one and
one-half years and when / began to
use DIR. Williams Pink Pills l weighed
less than So pounds. / gained weight
rapidly, while taking the pills and
weighed liz pounds when / stopped
using them. l was completely cured
and have never taken medicine. for my
nerves since. / feel that / owe my
