DUNN, N. c., October 23,1901.
A Saloon In Harnett.
We are sorry indeed to hea
that Harnett eounty is to havi
& saloon at Angier. This towi
' - is a new place recently built a
the southern terminus of th
road running down from Ral
eigh. The license for the sa
loon was granted last Monday
•by the bounty Commissioner
' v frh petition from people in An
gier. We wonder if any man
• who- professes Christ signed tha
petition? It is to be hoped not
We understand that Count;
Commissioner E. F. Young o
Dunn opposed the license. Hi
did right. Angier has takei
a step which means crime an
sorrow and poverty for thosi
who come under the deadly in
fluence of the demtJn whiskey
But, we are persuaded tha
this saloon will enjoy life fo
only a season. It will not sta;
there. It was a bad day fo
Angier when it was opened an
they will see that it will be ;
good day when it ii closed. W
know none of thoM interested
there in this matter, but we d
know that a saloon is a curs
• -anywhere and the town tha
gives its sanction to it has com
mitted a wrong against thos
who dwell there and those wh
trade there.—North' Carolini
'•-'Baptist.
We want to say Amen to wha
the Baptist has said.
The good people of Angie
will find * they have made i
serious mistake in allowing i
bar to open in their little town
The bar only invites crime an
disaster to any community, ant
it not only invites but italway:
comes sooner or later. Th
town or community that seeki
to establish better trade, to in
crease the valuation of the prop
erty by the liquor traffic wil
find th*fc it has made a mistak
that 3v^^eJ uire many years t(
We reap what w
aiid"if we allow bar-room
■• 'fi£ our midst we may expect t(
i';' reap crime and drunkards
body's boys have got tc
patronize the bar to make i
profitable, and the questior
each man should ask himself
V ®*'will it-be my boy?'-'
You say there was a liquoi
distillery in.the town and thai
you had just as well have tb(
open bar. Well, you have twc
evils now instead of one, and is
that better? Many men will
not drink corn whiskey, and
they should be congratulated
for their good judgment, while
if the bar with all its fine wines
and mixed drinks are in reach
they will get drunk and disgrace
. themselves and-spend money
that ghbuTd be spent on their
family. Plant bar-rooms in
your town and reap drunkards
•|s all there is in the whole mat
ter.
You say we are reaching out
beyond our bounds to speak of
the liquor traffic in Angier.
This paper is published in the
interest of the whole people of
the county and when we see
danger ahead for a community
jfe-is our duty as a citizen to
.warn them against it, and this
we 3re going to do. If we should
dq less we Would be unworthy
of your support. We trust the
p little town Of Angier will soon
-■'-see its mistake and shut up the
bar-room and drive the accursed
distillery from their community.

At the Centennial in Phila
delphia 1 , ftf 1876 : , the medal for
the best bale of cotton on exhi
bition was awarded to Mr.
Daniel Stewart, of Harnett
county.
At the World's Fair in Chi
cago in 1893, the medal for the
best sample of corn on exhibi
tion was awarded to Mr. Jacob
C. Williams, of Harnett county.
Having won firet place on
these two great staples at the
greatest exhibitions in the
world, Harnett is ambitious to
take both these medals at the
Charleston Exposition and is
_ going to send its best cotton
and corn in the North Carolina
Exhibit.— News and Observer,
of Sunday.
The above is a creditable
onowing for our~ county. It i 8
be remembered that the two
abovg oefifisioilS iflfciWefl te
Were the- greatest, occasions
known in the history of the
United States and possibly in
■ the world. It is a high honor
and compliment to our county
to stand first in two of the
■ greatest products known to the
| w r orld, cotton and corn. Our
soil and climate has no equal
in the world and it only re
mains for the "world to take
' knowledge of this for Harnett
; to be thoroughly developed.
There is much valuable farming
land in the jcounty that needs
3 development and should home
seekers come this way tlicy will
fiud a hearty welcome, a social
and congenial people. Now lgt
us put forth a special effort to
: hold the honor by sending a
product to Charleston Expo
sition that will take first medal.
We can do it, and why not?

He Offends Southern People.
\ President Roosevelt has made
a serious mistake, and commit
ted a grave offense against the
southern people.
It is not so much in his hav
ing a "well behaved and well ed
ucated negro like Booker Wash
ington at his dinner table with
his family, but it is the baneful
' effect in his position as presi
-1 dent it will have on certain
vicious negroes who seek social
' equality.
1 The example is a bad one.
No good can come from it to the
country, or to the negro race.
President Roosevelt has made a
senseless blunder and without
reason.
God set up the barrier be
tween the races. No president
of this or any other country can
break it down.
A dinner given by one man
to another in the home and pri
vacy of his family means that
the guest or his son may woo
and win the host's daughter.
When the one man is a white
man and the other black it
means that there is but one
more step to miscegenation—a
sinful and wilful breaking of
God's plain law.
The man, no matter how
high his position in power may
be, who practices social equality
between the white and black
race, will never revive the sup
port of the southeru people
We cannot imagine anything
more humiliating to the south
ern people, and all other people
as for that, than to have the
Chief Executive of the nation to
sit down at his table and dine
with a negro. This must have
been extremely humiliating to
Mrs. Roosevelt and her chil
dren. Nothing good can come
out of thisj either to the Presi- i
dent or to Booker Washington |
an.d his race. It seems that the
high Executive forgot himself,
but we feel sure the white men |
of the nation will not- forget
him when they come to fill the
President's chair the next elect
tion. •

Lane's Depository.
The editor had occasion in
the last few days to visit Mr.
J. W. Lane's Buggy Depository,
next door to his livery stables,
and examine his new line of
up-to-date and modern buggies.
He has the most complete vari
ety of styles and makes we have
seen. One of the prettiest and
most substantial buggies found
in his mammoth stock is the
Oxford buggy, manufactured
bj one of the leading buggy
concerns of North Carolina.
He is offering these buggies at
very close margin aud will sell
for cash or on easy terms. You
find embodied in this line all
that is elegant and desirable;
together with durability, which
go together to give to the pub
lic the article desired. It will
be worth a trip to call and see
his line of vehicles even if you
do not care to buy.

Our Wail of Wve.
We are prone, in seasons of
prosperity to imagine that life
will always be a pleasant jour
ney midst sunshine, ilowers and
plenty, that darkness, want and
troubles will never be our por
tion. Right there is where we
slip a cog.
The tide never came in that
it did not recede, there never
was a day tiiat was not followed
by night, there never was a joy
that was not the forerunner of
a grief, and there never was a
period of plenty and prosperity
that was not followed-by an era
of scarcity and depression. This
is a law as unerring as the one
that causes winter to follow
summer, and why we do not
recognize the one as forcibly as
the other, is a matter that baf
fles comprehension.
For years upon years this
section has enjoyed unpreceden
ted prosperity, every industry
has flourished and every indi
vidual has prospered, yet one
single short crop year knocks
us all ''cata-wampuswe con
template migrating to the poor
house", we wear faces as long as
the 22nd day of June and our
general conversation would cast
a gloom a njorgue.
Of course we cannot raise
profitable crops in a bad season,
but should certainly be able to
save enough in twelve or fifteen
good years to tide over six
months such as the present;
the fact remains that we must
do so, and is common sense to
put as good a face on the mat
ter as possible..
Let us hunt out the bright
spots and talk about them, "let
us help the fellow who is in
slightly harder luck than our
selves by words of cheer and
acts of encouragement, let us
make the best we can out of
discourgaging conditions, and
resolve in the future, not to go
beyond our depth when we have
good seasons under the vain
lusion that hard times will nev
er visit us again.—Mount Olive
Advertiser.

Th& Starch For a Mori.
Napoleon said, "1 have two
hundred millions in my coffers,
but I would give tliem all for
Marshal Ney." Napoleon want
ed a man when he said that.
The great cry, since the world
began, is "Give us a man."
The scarcest thing in the
world is a man, —a man who
can accomplish something, a
man of force, a man who has a
definite purpose and knows how
to fling his life out to it with
all the weight of his being.
Such a man is needed in every
calling.
This century calls loudly for
men of brt>ad and liberal cul
ture. This is a very practical
age ; theories and theorists are
not in demand. The cry is ever
for a man who can produce re
sults, a man possessing fact,
practical ability and executive
force.
The Avorld wants men who
are well balanced, and who are
not cursed with some inherent
defect or moral weakness which
cripples their usefulness and
neutralizes all their power.
While specialists are in demand
there is little hope for men who
are one sided in their develop
ment, and who have sent all the
energies of their being into one
narrow twig, so that all the
other branches of their lives
have withered and died. Men
who do not take half view of
things-men of completeness,
and of large comprehensive
ability,—are needed every
where.
The world wants men of com
mon sense, who will not
let a college education spoil
them for a practical everyday
life. It wants men who are
educated all over whose hands
are deft, whose eyes are alert
and microscopic, and whose
brains are keen and well devel
oped.—Success.

customers, when they ought to be waiting on a customer were it
not for onr prices. We have an apology to make in connection
with our goods but it is only on prices, they are so low we feel
almost ashamed to quote them. Think of it, good bi'ogan ?' loe

that we will not astonish you by quoting prices here. Lips are
