A Call to Every Preacher-March
Temperance Month.

Dear Brethren:-The livest question
before the people of North Carolina to-
day is that of Prohibition. II is the talk
in the homes, in the stores and shops
and on the farms and highways.
The good day of an aroused public
conscience on the liquor question has
come more largely through the work of
the preachers than through any other
cause. And now that the issue is square
" drawn before the people, am sure
that our preachers will make the next
three months busy ones in the fight to
protect the homes and churches and
schools of the State from their greatest
enemy, the liquor trafac.
The preachers hold the key to the sit
uation. By their visiting through the
week and by their sermons on Sunday
they can reach and influence the peo-
pie Of the State as no other class of men

RE " ARD /!

1t is said that rewards aggregating
$500 have been offered for the arrest
of Lee Fisher who shot and killed r.
F. W. Allston, in cold blood. at Tryon
last Friday evening.
The Tryon Hosiery Company offers
$500; the widow $500; the sheriff s1O0;
and Governor Glenn will undoubtedly
offer . reward also, how much is not
known, but probably not less than
$500, making q total of $1,000 for the
capture of the murderer.
1t appears that Fisher rode up to the
Office Of the Tryon Hosiery Coat Lynn.
There were several men around the
building, among them being Allston.
Fisher had been working for Allston
for several years and had bought a
home from him. Mr.. Allston said,
Fisher, why aren't you working in
the vineyard?"
Fisher replied, it 10 said, by calling
Allston vile name and threatening to
shoot, when Allston said "Shoot, then. I"
Fisher drew and fred, the bullet
passing in just above the heart. Mr..
Allston lived for IS minutes. Fisher,
who had not dismounted from his mule,
rode of, no one endeavoring to stop
him. It is said he started to saluda to
surrender himself, but changed his
mind and is now lying out in the noun
tains, some people think In the Lake
Toxaway region.
The murdered man was we'll known
in Hendersonville. He was valuable
citizen and his death is q severe loss to
the community.

ASheVillG'S S
Gold Brick

: Some little time ago, the Asheville
Citizen, with glad acclaim, IA .aounced
that the famous Alonzo Kimball, oae of
the greatest illustrators of this country,
had taken up his residence in that city
and would open an engraving plant
there, which would be one more good
thing for Asheyille and would also add
somewhat to that villages fame, as
being the home of famous artist.
But, dear, dear, twas only one more
gold brick-and AshevilIe certainly has
had her share-it looks, almost, as tho
she stood around with her mouth open
waiting to swallow 'em-if so beautiful
a figure of speech may be permitted.
1t wasn't the real Alonzo Kimball
only an imitation, one who had spent
part of last summer in Hendersonville,
who painted those pretty signs on Won
derLieth's s famous ice cream parlor win
dows, who drew advertising posters for
the minstrel show in aid of the Chau-
tauqua, VINO stood up with Mr.. Won der
Lieth at q certain banquet at the Hotel
Gates and sang so prettily-that night
when the lights went out.
So Asheville took Alonzo to it's bosom
it asked no questions, and Alonzo had
the entree, to use Greek phrase, into
the best homes. He sang at All Souls
and other fashionable churches, and was,
in word. the whole bakery shop.
And now he's gone.
AND the Citizen wires to New York,
at last, and gets word from the real
Alonzo Kinball that he never, never,
never, had been in AsEeyille and didn't
expect to, either.
And some people are just wondering
if the imitation Alonzo fooled Asheville
or if Asheville just fooled itself?
Unless Asheville gets the Legislature
to appoint guardian Tor 1t, you may
expect to see items like the following
appear in its daily papers:
ga man representing himself as being
Mr.. F. A. K. Greeneoods, the world
famous capitalist, came to town yester-
day and sold seven solid gold bricks to
Patton avenue merchants before IL
o'clock. It appears now that the bricks
were only plated, but Mr.. Greengoods
has left town."
'tA prosperous looking gentleman, re-
presenting himself as being ]. Pierpont
Morgan, came into the Citizen Office
yesterday and asked us to cash a check
for a million dollars. Being anxious to
o5lige so distinguished stranger we
did $50, and now find the check was no
good. The police were notified, and
mex t week they intend putting the
blood dhound Hope on the strangers
track. In the meantime we are short
of change"
"a we'll dressed stranger came to
town yesterday, and registered at the
Battery Park. He says he owns the
unfinished Smith Hotel and intends
selling it to some local capitalists, who
will finish the building, and who are
ready to close the DEAL"

Service for People Who Work

Most Laramie people work every

riding on jolting wagons or cars-do-
ing laborious homework; lifting reach.
ing or pulling, or trying the back in a
hundred and one other ways. All these
strains tend to wear. weaken and in
jure the kidneys until they fall behind
in their work of fltering the poisons
from the blood. Doan's Kidney Pills
cure sick kidneys, put new strength ir
bad backs. Laramie cures prove it.
Mrs. Chris Larson, 211 south First
street, laramie, Wyo., says: "Mr. Lay
son followed r~ailroading for twenty
years and | attribute the cause of his
backache and kidney trouble to the
constant jarring and jolting which he
received while riding. After leaving
the road he was still subject to the
attacks and not until using Doan's Kid.
ney Pills did he find a medicine that
afforded him genuine and positive re.

OUR NATIONAL DANGER
Time to Cry a Halt Before Complete
Wreck Results.

There are thousands, both men an
women, who do not take time to eai
properly. They rush through life, and
as a result we nave an age of indiges
ton, nervousness, irritability, sleepless
nights, and morose disposition. Our
national danger is stomach weakness
due to the strenuous life.
With the discovery of Mio-na tab,
lets, which strengthen the walls of the
stomach and stimulate secretion of the
digestive juices, there is no longer any
excuse for indigestion.
Sick headaches, palpitation, yellow

the many distressing results of indi.
