Convention of the Temperance Forces
OF MARYLAND,

The get-together convention held in
Baltimore on May 14th and 18th in the
interest OF statewide prohibition was
characterized by much enthusiasm.
Delegates from practically every
county in the state to the number of
five hundred had been appointed. 1893
registered during the convention.
The program discussed three i'm
portant subjects, namely, organiza-
ton, literature and finance. Each Of
these topics was handled by those
familiar with the effective doing of the
things necessary.
The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, Prohibition Party and the
Anti-Saloon League were all repre-
sented. Prominent leaders in these
temperance forces were present and
had part in the program.
The outstanding feature Of the
meeting was the splendid spirit Of
harmony. Practically every speaker
sounded that note. There was an
evident purpose to get together and
having gotten together, to do effective
work in the interest of statewide
prohibition. Perhaps the most sig
nificant feature of the convention was
the adoption of a series of resolutions
which declare that the federated or
CARNATIONS stand for the abolition Of
the beverage liquor traffic in the state
and nation and pledge their best en-
deavor to secure this. They further
declare that for the purposes of eff
fective work, these federated forces
shall be departmentized by committees
consisting of three members each to
be appointed by the different temper
ance forces Of the state for the pur-
pose of getting together and formu-
lating practical and effective plans.
The resolutions also invite the CO
operation and support Of all patriotic
citizens and of all organizations with
out prejudice for or against party
name, who believe that the liquor
traffic is the source Of crime and
misery to society, menace to pub
lie and private virtue and an econo-
mic waste, and in every aspect
against the public welfare.
The movement for statewide pro-
hibition is formally launched. The
opening gun has been fired. The va
rious regiments of the temperance
army have been brought into close
and vital federation under the leader
ship of the Rev. Thomas NJ. Hare,
Superintendent Of the Anti-Saloon
League OF Maryland.

MARTIN COUNTY FARMER
KILLED SATURDAY Night

While riding in a buggy with his
wife along the road from Hobgoe d
to Oak City Saturday night about 8
o'clock near Roanoke church, Mr..
Joe Johnson, Of Oak City, was shot
from ambush. His wife immediate
ly ran the horse to the nearest house
where she sought aid to save her
husband life, but it was too late,
the bail from the unknown pistol
having pierced the heart, causing
death instantly.
The sheriff Of Martin county was
at once summoned, hurrying from
WILLIAMSON with a posse When he
reached the place where the murder
| was committed he could find no
traces Of the one doing the shoot
ing. After a fruitless hunt about
the adjoining woods for q few hours
the search was abandoned until Sun
day morning, when it was resumed
| with the same futile results.
The murdered man, Joe johnson.
was the son of Mr.. Bill johnson, of
Oak City, and farmed near that
place. He was p years old and had
been married only q year or. two.

to have been murder from ambush

Nebraskan Lived in Three Centuries

Westerville, Neb.-Ihos. Morris,
who this month is one hundred and
twenty years and six months OF age,
is believed by some to be the oldest
man in the United States. lie is the
only man in Nebrasca al least, who
hs lived in three centuries. lie was
born in the eighteenth century, saw
all the nineteenth, and now has a
pretty good start into the twentieth.
He was two years old when Washing
toms term as president expired
This fact connects him with the ad-
ministration of every American pre-
sident.
Morris was one year old when tie
famous trial Of Warren Hastings
closed, and eleven years old when
admiral Nelson won his victory at
Trafalgar. He lived during the pc
riods Of the Napoleonic wars, attain
ing his majority six months before
the battle Of Waterloo. He wes Sc
ven years old when Ireland and Eng
land were united and has lived dur
ing the reigns'of King George H.,
George w., William ", Queen Vic
toria, King Edward VII, and the
present King, George '. He was
past three score and ten when Ahra-
ham Lincoln was assasslna5ed. Iho-
mas Morris was born January IS,

prenticed to a shoemaker, which

annals of this crimson stain?

Judge Clark utters at once a COM
mon impression and terrible indict-
ment when he says that we do not
in this state punish for crime men
who have money; he says: mo man
who has had the means to procure
the services Of able counsel and who
had influential friends has been ex-
ecuted in North Carolina for any
crime within 100 years past" Yet
there have been many executions in
liorth Carolina du1ing the past cell-
tury We think there is little ques-
ton that in this matter an appall-
iigly horrible discrimination is due
almost wholly to defects IN the pro-
cesses of the courts, the principal
Of which Judge Clark mentions. It
must be a com paratively simple
matter to arrange system Of trial
that will result in more people being
executed for crime, and will render
the chances more nearly even as be-
tween the man who has no money
and influence and the man who has
! them.

RARDSHIPS OF The lNHUMAN SUNDAY blue Law.

We have been waiting-we have
waited in vain-for a modifca-
ton of the strict, inhuman blue
law as it is applied to Scotland
Neck.
Sunday morning a young lady
of Scotland Neck lay in her sick
room unconscious from the dread
ed malady Of typhoid fever. Be-
side her sick bed stood two train
ed nurses bending their profess
sional energies to the welfare Of
their patient. Her fever was
raging she was almost deIirious.
Ice was needed-and needed
bad. A servant was sent to the
ice house to get forty pounds of
ice. Upon reaching the ice plant
he was Informed that without
doctors prescription he could rot
sell any ice. The servant then
went in search Of a physician, but
found none. 1t was then through
the merest accident that Mr.. E.
W. Woolard, at that time con-
nected with the Crescent Phar-
macy, chanced to run across the
darkey and, directing him to his
store, emptied his ice box ice box
for the sick patient.
Are the people Of Scotland Neck
going to stand for this law much
longer? What are you poor peo-
pie going to do who do not own
refrigerator when one Of your
family is stricken with fever?
