SETTLE IT QUIETLY, Its just twenty days till the date when the voters of Weldon will decide by ballot the liquor question, and the matter of saloons or dispensary will be settled This is a question we should decide io a quiet and dispassionate manner. If the majority of the people want saloons to remain, then we say let them r.ay. If, however, on the other hand, the majority should be io favor of estab lishing a dispensary here the liquor dealers should accept the will of the majority and yield gracefully. In this fight no harsh language, on bitter speeches should be indulged io. We are all citizens of the same town, all have the best interests of the towo at heart and every one should discuss this question, as he sees it, in a friendly manner, alluwiog to those who oppose, cither the one way or the other, the same rights that he himself claims in the matter. Our main object and aim io life is to do our duty, as we see it, and we ire all engaged io building up a greater Weldon. Now the question arises: How shall we best promote the iuterests ol the pro perty owners and tax payers at large? If the driving out of the saloons means a backward step, a step to lower the moral, religious and commercial interests of the town, then we say, by all means, vote gainst the dispensary. If a dispensary improves the character of a place, if it helps men morally, religiously and makes better citizens of them, then it is clearly the duty of all to vote for a dispensary. But these ate questions we do cot pretend to answer. We confess we are not prepared by experience or otherwise to answer them for the citizens of the towo. Every man must vote acoording to the dictates of bis oonsoieoce, and there must be no bard feelings engendered be cause we differ on a public question. Settle it quiety, sobcily and io a friendly spirit. Till City of Greeoeboro is to have a reunion of non-resident sons and daugh ters of North Carolina, oo the 12th ot October, and asks tho State to join io the invitation. There is hardly a State in tho Union whiuh is not indebted to some native of North Carolina for dis tioguished service. The movement is one that should be heartily entered into as it will foster a beautiful fraternal feel ing, and will impress upon the eouotry those ideas for which our sturdy old ooinmoowealth stands. It is to be hoped that the State's suns and daughter) will oomo together on this occasion and make it glorious success. Tut New York Press is having a controversy with itself as to whether s ben sets or sits. It depends a great deal on the hen. After the Press gets thii momentous question settled it might turn its brain on that other problem that has bothered science from time imme morial: Which is the mother of the chicken, the hen that lays or the one that hatches the egg?

His brilliaut idea is depicted in the campaign button. Thousands of the buttons are being worn by colored men io CbicKgoand the demand throughout (he country is growing. Tut fulkwing is taken frem the Rich mond News-Leader: "Members of the film of John L.

TliEpupIc of North Carolina, especi ally, will be glad to learn that the syn dicate controlling the Seaboard Air Line Railway has decided to keep the pro perty independent and to develop it for the benefit of its shareholders ooly. Therefore it will not go to the Rock Is land or any other system. It has been decided that it is the best pulley to main tain tho prestige and influence of the c.impmy in the south and to keep the southern iuterests in the properly that have been io it with Mr Williams since its organizaiion. Mils. Carrie Nation has founded a "hi liom" fi-r the destitute wives, ninthm and children of drunkards" at Kansis City. It cost $7,0(10. Mrs. Nation says if the American people buy enough of her new btaud of hatchets and water bottles at seventy-five Cents and ihr-'e dollars each, respectively, she will estab lish similar homes in every city of the United Stales. A Missouri police judae recently askid a prisoner if be was intoxicated when arnsted. The prisoner replied, "No, your Honor, I was dead drunk." This roc ills the case of the officer who asked a Sergeant if his prisoner used profane language. The reply was, "I couldn't say as to that sir, but he swore most awful." Senator Joun T. Morgan, in an address before the Alabama Legislature, last week predicted that the next presi dent of the United Stales would be e'eoied by the Dimociata. Who the man would be, Senator Morgan said, was not t matter of great consideration. According to carefully prpared statistics, Uncle Sam's income for t single day averages $2,020,836. His expendi tures now average $1,830,000 per day. The old gentleman is laying by some thing. An Indiana woman is suing her eighteenth husband fur divorce. Ap parently the divoroe habit is as danger ous as the cocaioe habit. Wise women will take precautions to avoid contracting it. Prophet Dowie has a rule which reads, "Do not talk about things You know nothing about." A strict applica tion of the maxim would prevent Dowie 'a talking theology, and would destroy the gentle art of conversation, generally. Till annual dividends reoeived bv John D.
