lowing:
Another important factor in the
campaign was Robert E. Clay. the
well known colored orator and work
er, Of Bristol. Va. He spent five
days here among the colored people,
and his lubors had remarkable re,
suits. With q few notable exceptions.
the colored voters here have been
practically solid for license. Fully
half Of them voted dry last Saturday.
Full Of life and fun aud yivacity, and

closing meeting was held In the col
ored Methodist Church Friday night.
There was a procession from tae
school house. to the cAurch, young and
old marching to tie singing Of tenn
perance songs. His powerful speech
aroused the greatest enthusiasm, and
when one heard the enthusiasm OF
the ollored voters as they sang
"Glory, glory, halleluiaa,
Our town Is going dry!!"
/: was apparent that the battle was
won. We nave never seen a more ef.
fective worker than Bob Clay or a
campalgner cleaner in his methods.
He was ably assisted by the colored
ministers and school teachers and 9th.
er influential men Of his own race.
Bright and early Saturday morning
the temperance wei kers were at the
polls, and they stayed there all day.
The liquor people were on nand,
doing their best, but they were up
against the real thing, and they had
all they could do to hold their own
men in line, much less gaining from
the Temperance ranks. II was ap-
parent early in the day that the tenn
perance fight was won. The colored
people were not run In, as OF old, In
droves by the liquor people: on the
contrary. they had m earnest com.
mlttec, headed by Clay, that worked
busily all day for no license. Most
OF the bushes men were In sympathy
with the temperance workers. and
many persons who had heretofore
been wet" now voted dry" The re.
suit was easily ANTICIPATED before the
day was half over, and when the vote
was counted, and a "iry" majority Of
so announced, the temperance people
were happy.

that a sanatorium should be es-

ing prepared and would soon be
circulated. He asked that the
pastors preach q health sermon on

ted that the Rowan Association
