SOME BAD FAITH.

In 1904 the prohibition forces In
North Carolina met in Raleigh TO
consider ways and means for carry
Ing on their work.
Senator Simmons made it conven-
lent TO be on hand and made speech
to the prohibitionists stating he was
In sympathy with their movement, +
etc. and he and other Democratic
politicians persuaded the real prohi-
bitionist In the State that the way TO
secure prohibition would be TO place
their cause In the hands of the Dem
ocratic party.
Have the Democratic politicians
lived up to their promise made TO the
prohibitionlst of North Carolina?
Isn't 1t a fact that the Democrats
have used prohibition, and in some
instances the church as a stalking
horse for them to ride into Office and
then turn TIER back on their friends?
Let's see what has been the Dem
ocratic record ON prohibition. We
will quote from some eminent Dem
ocratic authority:
THE Raleigh Times says there
are seventeen places in Raleigh
where anybody can get drink
any time by paying for it.
Charging also that the police do
not try to enforce the law
against these offenders. The
Times further remarks:
There is one man in Raleigh
who claims to have made $1O,-
600 in one year on the sale of
whiskey-since the prohibition
law went into effect, and his
place didn't have the name
Saloon" over the door,
"A bad record for the State
capital-Statesvill Landmark"
Rev. H. NJ. North, in the course of
a sermon at Edenton Street Metho-
dist Church in Raleigh said the con
dition in Raleigh is deplorable." The
Wilmington Star has reported from
time to time of the enormous illegal
sale of whiskey in that town. The
Charlotte papers have reported sim
liar conditions in that town. Colds
boro Record reports similar condi-
tions in that town. These are only
a few of the instances, but judging
from the statements in the papers,
the same condition exists to more or
less extent in practically every Dem
ocratic county in the State.
The Lincoln Times, a Republican
paper, states that it has information
to the effect that Liquor is flowing
almost like water" in certain parts of
Lincoln County and that some Of
them have become bold enough to
carry it from house to house through
the neighborhood and retail it to the
thirsty at night. Lincoln is also un-
der Democratic good government"
They have claimed that the prohibi-
ton law is a good law. If they think
so, why don't the Democratic officials
show their faith by their works; ev-
cry law on the statute books should
be enforced. If law is a good law
it should be enforced for the good II
will do; if law is a bad law, the
only way to show that it is bad Is
by enforcing it. Therefore, there i:
but one rule for good government
and that is to enforce every law or
the statute book, good or bad, AND
by doing so, good will result there
from, either mediately or immediate

Simmons Agent Buying New Hats.
Charlotte Chronicle (Dem.)l

How come? Ex-Governor Aycock,
candidate to succeed Simmons, was
in Concord yesterday on railroad
business. Also Private Secretary
Watts was there, maybe to buy a
new hat. Watts buys more hats and
goes to more different places to buy
them than any man we ever saw.

Record. says:
~ would rather invest in the
Southern part Of our country
than elsewhere, for, in my opin-
ion, that is the section to share
more than the North, East. or
West in the future enhancement
of value. l have great faith in
the broadest development of the
whole South. Moreover, as the
South is now but at the begin
ming of it's real upbuilding,
more profit is to be made from
the increment in values that will
inevitably take place than in the
more developed sections Of the
North. In this respect it might
therefore be called a virgin coun-
try, promising the largest profits
to careful investors.
