ford, addressed our citizens Sat
urday night on one of our stree
crossings in a good talk on tn,
dry issue, presenting the fac
that the prohibition of the salool
is for the we'll being of the coun
try and the elevation of its citi
zership. We think Mr.. Harvey
sees the question in the right
way and so does every othel
right thinking person.
Yesterday A. F. Little of Brad
ford, editor of the Sentinel anC
president of our County Sunday
School Association, visited the
schools of our village and gave a
good talk to both, urging more
efficient work in a spiritual way,
and at the M. E. school made q
diversion with a short talk on the
Prohibition constitutional amend
nent, seeing as with the eye of a
seer that the amendment will be
adopted by a good majority by
the voters of the state on Nov.
ember 2, in case the voters will
not fail to attend the polls when
the day comes. He did not want
voters to be so sanguine about
victory as to think the question
will carry without an individual
vote, and stay at home to do some
very needed work. He thought
it better for every Christian pa
triot to attend the election first,
and then do the work afterward
at the home and on the farm.
He wanted no stay-at. homes and
l think he was about right in d.
agnosing the case; that ought to
be the rule of those who wish to
correct the wrong done a year
ago when fraud held our great
state in the wet column.
Our citizenship is being stirred
in this campaign as never before,
and public meetings are held and
addressed by able and eminent
orators on this question, which
certainly means that this issue is
paramount to all other questions
before the people. The align
ment of the dry forces is not on
ly in favor of civic righteousness
but in favor of stamping anarchy
out, so that obedience to law and
order shall triumph everywhere
alike-in the cities as we'll as in
the country, and in the country
as we'll as in the cities. Let the
same rule prevail everywhere,
no immunity to anyone,
but require that all citizens shall
be amenable to law. and be re-
qulred to yield obedience to all
laws alike. When this is done
our government becomes stable,
without stable leagues and stable
constitutional amendments to en-
force such rule.
Rev. J. o. Hillery delivered a
strong sermon last night in our M.
E. church on the dry question, rid
ding the wet argument, if wor-
thy to be dignified with the name
of argument. so that when he
concluded there was nothing left
of the socalled wet claim about
confiscation of property, high
taxes and ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of
wOrkmen if the drys carry. On
the contrary, he showed that the
reverse would follow as day fol-
lows night, and was as sure
to follow as that a person
with an illuminated nose could
not hide his candle under a bu-
shel. Yes, verify, the wet work
and grist is manifest in every
way that the man who runs may
read. and those who fail to, in
discerning the trend of the case.
NAV be classed among those who
have ewes hut cannot see and un-
willing to do something for the
uplift of the country and elava4
ton Of mankind. It only requires
a small degree of astuteness for
any person to know that temper
ance ought to be the rule. and so
much is this condition desired
that even the wet boys are in
sisting upon the rule, so that il
is manifest that some of their
