Correspondence of The Robesonian.

It-was of much interest to see
how many car loads of whiskey
were transferred here during the
holidays. 1t was sad picture
to look at, but the saddest of all
was so many church members
boxing for express packages of
different names. If we would
read the old Book, it's a very
easy matter to locate st. Paul
on the temperance question. He
drew a straight line and placed
drunkenness among the works of
the flesh on one side of the line
rand temperance among the beau
tiful fruits of the Spirit on the
other side of the line. He said,
BE sober, be not drunk with
wine, wherein is excess, but be
filled with the Spirit. - He de-
stroyed the theory we so often
here from men that there is no
harm in a dram," when he said,
Bishops and deacons should be
men not given to much wine. !"
Every man and woman in the
church should be as good as the
bishops and deacons-men and
women not given to wine. The
Bible standard, with no eXcep-
ton, is total abstinence. Show
me man who tarries long al
the wine and will show you q
man who has woe, sorrow, con.
tention, bablings, wounds with
out cause, and redness of eyes.
Wine, beer, and the milder drinks
create a thirst for the stronger
drinks. The only safe rule fol
Intoxicating beverages is giver
in the Bible in these words
Touch not. taste not, handle
not" Daniel kept this rule; he
"purposed in his heart that he
would not detile himself with the

with the wine he drank. " He

Mr.. John W. Wishart was the
youngest brother of the late We'll
lington Wishart, of Lumberton.
There were six sons in that fam
lily and the manner of the death
Of four of the six is rather re-
markable:: One was killed in the
civil war; one was killed by the
far,ous Lowry gangof outlaws in
Robson, having been active in
hunting the members of the
gang; one was killed iii Florida
as the result of a mistake, the
load of shot that killed him be-
ing intended for another man.
The manner of the death of the
youngest of the brothers is told
above. Mr.. A. S. Wishart, the
only one of the brothers who
survives, lives three miles from
Lumber ton on the road to Fair
mont. Messrs. w. S., j. H.
Wade and Frank Wishart, oil
Lumberton, are nephews of the
deceased.

the country's greater wealth, if it
be held and controlled by the few?
What relief to the consumers can
there be in a tariff law that revises
duties upward, as the new law seems
to do, despite the statements OF its
immediate sponsors? Of what ad-
vantage to the country in the long
run, is protection that helps capital
further to exploit the masses?
These are the questions that the
people are now asking, and not with
out cause, says Grit. These are the
lreasons why they distrust Repre-
sentative Payne, Senator Aldrich and
their supporters, and will make their
own test OF the new tariff law. The
Republican party may have fooled
a majority of the people in 1908,
but it's new tariff law cannot fool
a majority of them now, for they
will know whether the cost of liy-
ing is increased or reduced, and
reach their own conclusions. II the
Republican platform recognizes ex-
listing conditions, the peoples test
will be the correct one.

Shall the Negro Serve?

William F. Pinkett is the author
of a book just published by the Put
mans with the comprehensive title,
"The Negro Problem; Abraham Lin
cons Solution" We are told by the
Springfield Republican that Mr..
Pickett reviews the whole race ques-
ton in a spirit sympathetic with the
negro, whose environments and con-
dition he regards as altogether hope
less for him while he remains where
he is.
"His book of nearly 600 pages
presents perhaps" says the Repub-
lican, "the most comprehensive story
of all sides of the problem and all
views taken of it, and all difficulties
to be met In dealing with it, which
has been written within the compass
of a single volume. His own solu-
ton is colonization in Africa-Libe-
ria or the Congo Free State and this
is presented with the prestige of Mr..
Lincdln's name as sustaining
force"
The Augusta Chronicle says,
"The plan the Mr.. Pickett offers
Is one of voluntary migration; that
Is, as far as migration may be con-
sidered voluntary when forced by the
withdrawal of right and privileges,
which, having been unwisely thrust
upon them, Mr.. Pickett thinks might
now be wisely taken back again. as
an incentive to them to seek new
territories and strike out roots
anew in more carefully selected
fields. The author thinks that the
14th amendment should be SO mod
flied as to exclude all persons Of the
negro race from National citizenship
who shall be born after certain
date, as for instance, the year 1925,
or some other date, to be decided
upon.
''The desire for change and adven-
lures in new lands, in the negro,
thinks the author, would be effective
ly stimulated by repeal of all civil
rights acts in addition to placing
time limit to the 14th amendment.
The expense of expectation, accord
ing to the plan. would be borne by
the United States. Then, as fur
ther help toward stimulating the
migrating movement, the United
States might establish a penal col
ony for negro criminals, somewhere
out of our own States and employ
negroes at liberal compensation OH
the Panama canal and along with
these provisions would go pgohi-
bition law against the return of the
race into this country"

NToonshine Whiskey.

Deputy Commissioner Robert j..
Williams, Jr., of the Internal hev-
enue department, has told special
writer for Grit that the making of
moonshine whiskey has increased
tremendously in the South since
some of the States have prohibited
the sale of alcoholic beverages. The
special writer says he has gone far
ther than the statement made him
by the deputy commissioner.
He says he has carefully looked
into the bearing of prohibition up
on the moonshining industry, and
he has found state of affairs rath-
er remarkable. He has found that
hundreds of men have taken to
breaking the laws of the United
States in the manufacture of illicit
liquor and also the laws Of the pro-
hibition States in selling the same.
In other words, the prohibition
regime has made it necessary for two
sets of laws to be transgressed gen.
orally. Moreover, he has found that
the moonshiners do not discriminate
in the sale of their fiery product,
permitting it to get into the hands
of the vicious and irresponsible
whites and blacks, who are given
to tipping. The consequence has
been that the criminal element in
the South has made itself most
troublesome.
Outrageous crimes of all sorts
have been committed by home-drinR-
ers of moonshine whiskey; negroes,
who otherwise would behave proper
ly, have been running amuck con-
stantly; race hatred has been inten-
cited, and political upheavals have
been without end. In long story
the special writer gives in last
weeks Grit the truth concerning the
nefarious moonshining industry and
it's effect upon life in the South.

Would Have Good Chance

If all the Senators and Represen-
tatiyes who were elected to Con-
gress as Democrats had been true
to their party's' doctrine of a tar
i'll for revenue instead of voting for
the trusts as some of them did, the
Democratic party would occupy a
most advantageous position before
the country. AS it is, the prediction
! is freely made that unless eXtraor-
dinary measures are employed, the
next House of Representatives will
| be Democratic. The Republicans are
so badly divided that the breach in
their ranks can hardly be healed by
ordinary means. This is admitted by
some Of the leaders OF that party,
and is shown by the vote on the
tariff bill in the Senate and the
House.
Grit says in the House the In
surgents appear to be constantly
increasing body. The vote on the
tariff bill did not develop their
maximum strength. Then only 20
Republicans representing eight
States voted with the opposition.
The actual insurgent strength is
nearer 40 On the other hand, the
progressives in the Senate do not
seem to increase in number. The
regulars there are too FIRMLY in
trenched. Besides senator's are elect
ed by legislatures and not by the
people. Consequently it is fore
gone conclusion that the regulars
will continue to hold the upper
hand.
The House passed the tariff bill
by II majority. Had the Repub-
licans six votes less they would have
failed to do so. With a Republican
majority of As they had margin
altogether too narrow for comfort.
They are somewhat concerned, too,
because the insurgent strength comes
from States which must be carried
in order to control Congress. India
ma, Kansas, Iowa, Minnesota and
Wisconsin have SO members in the
House, more than the present Re-
publican majority. If one-half of
these members should be lost, the
House would be Democratic. These
States are extremely dissatisfied with
the new tariff bill.
fractional differences have been
extended. They began in the last
Congress with dissatisfaction with
the Committee on Rules. They con-
tinued with the reelection of Speak
er Cannon, which, it will be remem-
hared was effected by the aid OF
Democratic votes They now extend
to the new tariff law, which brings
the whole matter back to the peo-
pie ut the polls in 1910. fractional
differences make the great Middle
West the battle ground in the Con-
gresSional election next year.

Make Use of the Banks.

A dispatch from Kewanee, Ill.,,
says when Mrs. James Williams Of
that city, left her home to go to the
woods for a days outing, she piac-
ed the family strong box containing
cash and notes to the value of $1,000
in the cook stove oven. She was
late in reaching home and started
a quick fire in the stove to get sup
per, forgetting the money. When
the odor of burning paper was de-
tected, she opened the oven to find
the box fallen to pieces and the pap
er money destroyed. Only ashes
remained of all the bills except one
of the $40 denomination. Some
papers were legible although badly
scorched. If Mrs. Williams had de-
posted her money in one of the
banks in her town, as she should
have done, she would not have lost
it. People who have money should
deposit it in a bank, as protection
not only against burglars but as a
protection against themselves. S,
if you have any money hid out, dig
it US and put it in bank where it
will be safe.

We would like those newspapers
that claim that the success Of the
Republican party last fall spelled
prosperity for our farmers to prove
that assertion. According to the
tariff law, just passed, the success
of the Republicans spells higher
prices for everything our farmers
have to buy, even to the cloth made
out Of the cotton they produce on
their farms. This Is kind of pros
perity that our farmers don't like.

The New Tariff Law.

One Of the main reasons given by
the Republican party for the pas
sage Of a high protective tariff is
that it helps the wage Garner TO get
better pay for his work. This is
not true. for the simple reasons that
not more than one-SiXth Of
the wage earners of this country
are employed by the interests that
are given the privilege of exploit
ing the people through the opera
tions of the tariff. 1t is possibly true
that wages in some lines have steadi-
ly increased until labor shows an
average gain for the past twenty
years OF % per cent.
But. during the same period the
cost of living has increased about
40 per cent, Notwithstanding the
country has had good crops and there
has been an abundance to supply
all wants. Of what value is in
creased wages, if the cost of living
has increased more? OF what real
benefit to the people as a whole is
