wide Prohibition.

The Virginian prints herewith a
paper signed by many Of the most
prominent citizens Of the town OF
kinston, North Carolina, where the
prohibition law of that State has
most evidently been OF great value to
the citizens and Of much benefit to
the business interests OF the town.
The paper was secured and sent to
The Virginian by the head of one
of the oldest and largest wholesale
firms OF Richmond. 1t Is thorough
ly reliable, and will be OF great value
to those interested in the question
of prohibition in Virginia.
In his letter this man says:
"A paper such as this could be Sc
cured from every town and city in
the State OF North Carolina, and I
believe a paper similar to this could
be secured from the merchants in
every town and city In the State OF
Virginia

Registered in Emporia-
The following Ietter from d
respectable citizen Of Emporia
tells about the registration Of
negroes there:
1.-The town of Emporia was
very much stirred on last FRI
day by an attempt on the part
of the liquor people to register
a number of negroes. Judge
w. Samuel Goodwin. who has
long been the attorney for the
liquor dealers here, and who il
apparently the manager OF the
wet forces in Greensville coun-
ty, admits having furnished
money to a negro leader, BY
the name of Sam Bell, to pay
for a conveyance to canvass
the negro vote Of the county.
sit was learned in the mean-
time that a large number az
negroes had just applied to one
of our registrars to be regis-
tered; that he had registered
four out of six that applied;
and that quite a number 0f
others would apply on Satur-
day. 1t was also known that
the negro Bell was busilv work
ing among the young negroes
Just coming of age, and dis
tributing a paper among them.
As nearly all the applications
made by those who had applied
for registration were exactly
alike, it was evident that Bell
was coaching the negroes how
to register. and that it wAa
their intention to register
large number.
"The white people w0F<
aroused; several promine q
lawyers volunteered their aG M
vices, and there was much tafI
of calling all the people Of GIN
county together in one big q
dignation meeting. unless =

stopped. Several of the rejl5 s
